On tile motion to amend the Free School Law, so aa to raise fifteen cents upon the one hundred dollars valuation of property instead of ten cents, to go into the State Treasury, Mr. Atkinson said : Ma. PaasiDKST : In proposing this amendment the Committee do it for the purpose at giving the system of free scnoois in our State, such a basis as shall insare uniformity^,. as far as - possible, throughout all the counties thereof. We desire to secure 3uch a sum in the Trea3a?/ ry of the State, as when distributed to the several counties in proportion to the enu meration of children, will support our school for four months in each year, leav ing a smaller 3um to be levied by the peo ple of the several townships. While we propose to add five cents taxa tion apon the one hundred dollars valua tion or property, to be collected in the State Treasury, we propose by another amendment to deduct a like rate from the per centage to be levied by the people at their township meetings, and for this rea son: The tax in the first instance will be uniform all over the State, while in the second, each township may make a different leTy. Here a township would assess the fall limit of the law, another a less amount, while others through neglect, indifference, or opposition to th? whoie system, wonld nuk; no levy whatever. Thus, while-the schoois in one township might continue throughout the year, in others the schools would cease so soon as the State funds were exhausted. Our State is now in her infancy. Hav- i icR stricken of with such unanimity the j chains of human slavery, let U3 strike boldly for freedom from its twin ally, ig norance. And "bow are we to do tiiis ? Through a system of education which shall carry its blssaicgs into every city, and village and cabin in West Virginia. And thi3 bussing c-?o only be secured by a system ci schools supported by general taxation. We have tried the system of individual enterprise, which, while it served to give as a class of highly educated men, has left the masses in almost total deatitu tion as to schools. We must change the plan, and institute one which haa conferred such blessings upon other States. And surely every man who claims to be a lover of his country or his race, should seek to elevate his fellow j man in the scale of knowledge. It-is only in this way that our government, founded aa it is upon the popular will, can safely be transmitted from generation to genera tion, for no republic can long exist that is not sustained hy the intelligence and morals ot its citizens. And what is intelligesce but another name for education? A devel opment of alt the powers physical, intel lectual, ana moral? This education goes on daily, and it is impossible that we shall feel as if we had done our duty, while the current cf ignorance is bearing away the youth of our land, into indolecce and crime, and we make no effort for their res cue. Each individual is being educated daily for good or for evil. There is no po sition in which yon can place your chil dren and say in truth that they are unin fluenced by surroeo'ling^ircamstacrees: It is then of the first importance to ev?ry parent that he should Secure to his child the blessings of a liberal education, and it is also of the first importance to every cit izen who lovee bis country, that every child receive such instruction as will pre pare him for every position in which he may be placed. Tnen let 03 as law-makers not shrink from our duty, but let us give to our con stituents such a law as shall by its opera tions provide, as 30 strong'y expressed in oar constitution, for a thorough and effi i cieut system of free schools. Is it ur ged that we must reduce the taxes? Let us not make the redaction here. Is it sa.d we are engaged in war, a war tor the hie oi our nation, and that wa muse hus D?3d all cur resources for the ccnfitct? "We know it, we feel it. But remember that time is precious, precious momenta to your children that will never return. The child will aoon be the citizen. The boy will soon be a voter, and we cannot, we dare not as philanthropists or patriots fal ter in our duty. It is ignorance that produces nearly all the crime and misery in the land. In civil life it fills <wr jails and penitentiaries, and has supplied in this war the sinews of rebellion. In religion it makes bigots and fanatics and gives innumerable followers to such leaders as Joe Smith and the false prophets. And in social life U produces those cancers npoa the body politic of up per and lower classes, patrician and plebe ian. Then let us remove as speedily aa possi ble thoae evils, by rearing the school house in every precinct throughout our State, in which edacatioo shall be free to all. Where the rich and the poor ahall be educated aKke. let us provide now a liberal fund for their support. Let ua return to our homes to popularize this system, and soon we shall see all over our mountain State such a system as shall give knowledge to all the masses. I shall not be a member of this body, but I hope, aa a citizen, soon to see the day when we shall not only provide schools for all the children, but when public opinion wilt have 90 far advanced as to say to the unkind, the unthinking parent who shall fail to send fcis?hffd to school, "you have no right to cheat your child and cast up on the State a citizen unprepared for tU duties," when laws will be made to com pel such parent to be just to what is in deed the protege of the Slate. Then, sir, will jast laws be honored and obeyed by intelligent acd happy citizens.? Then will religion be respected, and the liberties of our country, under the blessing of Gcd, be secure in the hands of a people both wi3e and good. Partlcalari oftbtlblK Cavalry Raid through the GnlTStates Announced to JIotc this Week. Special to the M. Y. Timet. Wa331sstos, Feb. 12. It was announced a month ago, that the veteran and victorious army of Gen. Thom as, which bad then just inflicted such a series of disastrous defeats upon Hood, would at once take up its march after the remnant of the rebel army, which bad found refuge in Mississippi, at Tupelo, a station on the Mobile Railroad, some fitty miles south of Corinth. Our army, in undertak ing ibis movement, would necessarily have to prepare itself for a campaign extending through the State of Mississippi, and as far as Mobile, for Hood would simply retreat from Tupelo and other points as we ad vanced upon theta. and would thus draw our forces on indefinitely, without result. This wonld have been a campaign of great difficulty and required considerable time in preparation. In the meanwhile, there were two things which materially altered this plan : First. Lieut. Gen. Grant ordered to other fields a great part of Gee. Thomas' infantry. Sec ondly, it was definitely ascertained that Hood's defeat in December was cf snch a complete character that an amy of the magnitude of that under Geo. Thomas was not required to operate against it, or to do any other part et the work that remained to be done in the Southwest. In fact a limited body of infantry, with a super abundance of cavalry, are all that are now required in ail the vast range of coantry be-.weea the Ohio River and the Gulf ot Mexico. A new campaign was consequently re solve'! upon, and by the time this is printed, a cavalry movement of the moat gigantic character, and promising the greatest re sults, wiil have been begun. The army, in fact, is in motion. The main circum stances have already been announced in the papers of the West and South. The starting point ot the campaign is Eastport, in the northeastern corner of the State of Mississippi, where Thomas' head quarters have been for some time located. The Columbus (Miss.) Republic has recent ly published the iniormaiion that large Federal forces were " ceneentrating at Sasiport and Decatur for the purpose of moving on Setma and Montgomery as soon the roads are in suitable condition." Of course they can stop neither at Selma or Montgomery; and the articles that have been telegraphed North from thj Mobile Tribtau show very clearly that the rebels know the point aimed at to be the great commercial city of the Qulf. The R ch mond Whig of Tuesday informs us that Gen. Cauby has seat a large force of in fantry from New Orleans to Paacagcala, close to Mobile; and the city is so weakly defended that the idea is universally ex pressed in the Sou'.h that i: wi'.l be aban doned by the rebels. The number of cavalry engaged in this great expedition is sta'ed in the Western papers as 40 GOO, including mounted in fantry, but the force may not b?as large as this. The distinguished cavalry leaa er, Gen. Wilson, is in command. Tae dis tance from Eastport to Mobile is about 300 milas, through a country easily traversed; and Gen. Snertnan has stared under his own gignatare, tar the information of the army, that sufficient forage can be had cn tae line of the march. The cavalry can probably make twenty to twenty five miles a day, and the campaign, if continuous, would thus occupy from fiiteea to twenty days. It is by far the largest expedition of this character of the wir, ani its conditions and prosperity have been so thoroughly canvassed in advance, that no doubt what ever is entertained of its complete success. The dem-raiized condition of Dick Tay lor's (late Hood's) army at Tupelo, not over 16 000 strong, takes it away as an ele ment of danger. The intense animositi?of the people of Alabama and Mississippi against the rebel Government and authorities, known to amount almost to revolution, makes the prospect of the campaign eood in that re spect. I: will prubaby be even freer trom harassment than Sherman's campaign through Georgia. The opening of thJ Alabama and Tom bigbee rivers, and the occupation ot Sel ma, Montgomery and Mobile, wiil virtually complete our military work in the cotton States of the Gulf. Since the above was written, I have learned that Gen. Taomas' army will move from Eastport "on the enemy's worka," oo or about themiidle of the week. Archbishop Spacldisg haa issued the following reflations tor the observance of Lent in the Catholic Church, which season commences on Wednesday, the first day of March: "All the faithful who have completed their twenty-first year are to make only one meal a day, excepting Sundays, and the meal allowed on the fast da;9 is not to be taken till about noon. At that meal, if on any day permission should be granted for eating flesh, both flesh and fish are not to be used at the same time, even by way of seasoning. A amail refreshment, commonly sailed colla'.ion, ia allowed in the evening. No general rule as to the quantity of food permitted at this time ia or can be made; but the practice of the moat regular Chris tian ia never to let it exceed the tourth part of an ordinary meal. The quantity of food allowed at a collation is, in thia diocese, bread, batter, cheese, all kicda of fruits, salad, vegetables and fiih. Milk and eggs are prohibited. General us*ge haa made it lawful to drink in the morning some warm liquid, as tea, coffee, or thin choco lote, maae with water. Necessity and cus tom have authorized the use of hog's lard instead of butter in preparing fi^h, vegeta bles, 4c. The following persona are ex empted from the obligation of fasting: Young pstaona under twenty-one years of age, toe sick, nursing women, those who are obliged to do hard labor, and all who, through weakness, cannot fast without great prejudice to their health. Cab fare in Washington ia the only cheap thing in the place. You can ride from one end of the city to the other, and get a transfer to go across town for 5 cents. WASHINGTON 1TE31S. From a Letter in the Cincinnati Suette. Mrs. Seniler Foote's departure from Washington was welcomed almost as warmly as her coming. Tbe ladies at her hotel, in particular, are greatly wroth with her. In their gentle hearts they took pity on her sufferings in rebeldom, and sought to welcome her to a land where soe would find something to eat, aad cease sneering from "nothing to wear." To their great disgust, she responded by depicting the delights of Ricnmond, and absolutely came off with flying colors. Said the wife of an eminent officer, "I tried to be polite to her; but when she toid me that the day before she left Richmond she saw as good a mar ket A3 she ever saw in her lite, I couldn't stand any more of it 1" The general ver dict of the ladies was that if Mr. Foote was a type of Southern Unionism, Mr. Seward might welcome her as much as he pleased, but we bad better keep fighting a while longer. SC3HSS 13 A F3 0V0ST 3(4.3334.1.?S 077ICB. The mysteries of Provost Marshal's of fices are rarely understood. Here is a leaf from the secret history of one of them, in Baltimore. It la said to be accurate by a trustworthy gentleman, who ought to know. The Provost Marshal in question has since been removed. After the examination and acceptance of a substitute, the question wis pleasantly proposei, "John Schmidt, have you got a vatch?" "No, sir," was the meek reply. "Vat, you say you have no vatch! How tor yon eipect to go on de guard, and know de times midout a vatch? Here, Hans, get out of de safe one of dem fine silver, back-action vatches, mid two faces, for $16 75?vorth dwice ae money.? Schmidt, yoa have got de greatest par gain in your life." And the money was quietly deducted from "Schmidt's'' dues. Smith was followed by Brown. 'Have you got a vaicb, Viiliam Brown?" "Yes, sir," and one is produced of liberal golden proportions. "Vat de divil you do mid a vatch in de army? You no officer to have a vatch! Hans, give Viiliam Brown five toilars tor his old, copper-washed vatch, vich is cot worth half de money. If it vas a goot silver vatch, I voaid give sis toilers. Brown, de Regulations is very strict on dem things, and it is goot I saw de vatch before you got avay to de armjl" "Brown, dis gentleman say he have found you are de only support of a widjwed moder and is entitled to de $300 bounty. You tooght your moder was dead? Now never yoa mind what you tought. Don't you 3ay a single vord, because you know no more about it, you see, dan about de catc/i You come along mid me to de office, and sign de pabers.

Feb. 14?The Herald's Washington special says: Officers from the forces operating against Mobile, who ar rived here this evening, confirm the re ported evacuation of taat place. Hon dreds of deserters have come off to the army and to the fleet, and unanimously agree in the statement that nearly all the rebel troops have left that place, and that it will be surrendered whenever a demand for it shall be made, even if the farce by which it is backed op shall not be a very large one. The cotton has all been re moved from the city into the interior. Oar Seet are basily engaged in removing the obstructions, and expect to be able to reach the city by the 1st of March. The Herald's Paris correspondent states that the two formidable naval rams Spbynx and Cheops, built at Bordeaux, France, sometime ago, having been fitted oat in the most complete manner for our Southern rebels, with the heaviest class of guns and full crews, and under the new names of the "Stonewall" and the "Rapidan," were to sail in the beginning ot this month from a little island off the eoaat of France for this port. It was believed they were of so staunch a charaater that they would expe rience no diSnlty in passing ail the batte ries in our harbor and coming right up to the city, which itis reported to be designed by their commander either to lay under heavy contribution or to destroy. This scheme is said to have been concocted and assisted ia is prosecution under a secret treaty between the Emperor Napoleon and the Jeff Davis government. A correspondent of a South Carolina paper, who has been over the route of Gen. Sherman's march through Georgia, is sur prised to find that that officer dealt so len iently with that state, and consoles himself with the anticipation of the s-me gentle treatment for South Carolina. The Richmond Examiner of the 10th inst., in an article on Southern Railroad connections, endeavors to show bow Lee's Army may be supplied from North Carolina and Georgia, without the assistance of the Weldoa road. The Legislators of Geojgiai3 to convene in extra session to-morrow. The Richmond Dispatch of the 11th thus sums up the situation in South Carolina: The Edisto river rises ia the South wes tern portion of South Carolina, and Sjw :ag south-westerly empties into the Atlan tic forty miles south-west of Charleston. Branchville is on the south-west branch of the Charleston and Savannah railroad, one mile east of the point at which the railroad crosses the Edisto. This river is now the line held by Oen. Hardee in the neighbor hood of Branchville. Nearer the coast we hold the line of the Combahee river ia the vicinity of the Charleston and Savannah railroad. From the most authentic intelligence, it appears that while part of Sherman's army is making active demonstrations against Combahee Ferry, aear the Charleston and Savannah railroad, as if with the inten tion of marching on Charleston, the rest of his forces have appeared at four points on the Edisto, namely: At New Bridge, five miles oelow Branchville; at Banaockshire; at Hoimaa's bridge, a3 above, aad at the railroad bridge, opposite that place. Oar troops that held the bridge over the Sal kahatchee were driven ia last Wednesday. If he succeeds ia forciag a passage ot the Elisto above aad below Branchville, be will keep the railroad ruaaing theace to Columbia and a'.so the railroad to Charles ton. and compel our troops to fall back from Branchville, but they will most prob ably evacuate it if at any time it should appear that Sbermaa cannot be preveated fromcrossiag the river. The above is writtea in the hope of giv ing our readers some idea of the situation ia South Carolina. It was said some days ago that 3beraian was also sending a col umn against Augusta, on the Georgia side of the Savannah river. We have ao in formation on this b??d. Xkw Toss.
