Pustic Scuoot Examtnation.— The annual tamination of the male department of the First District School was beld yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a large number of persons inter- ested ineducation. Of the school trustees = we observed Col. Randolph, Messrs. M. H. and A.W. Miller, Drs. Ironside and Walsh, Mr. Hol- mead, and Mr Willett. The teachers tn our pub- lic schools were also present in considerable num- bers. Mr. Hyde, of the henge “p= public schools, our venerable nei; hbor, Mr. John Sess. ford, and many others soliciteus for the future welfare of the rising generation, evi that solicitude by their presence and participation in the exercises of the afternoon. We also note with some pleasure the attendance of Councilman iT. Given, of the Seventh Ward. This school has on its ae ee all of whom were at the exami- nation. It may be well toadd here, that the usual attendance at this school during a great portion met azeeean from 55 to 6 pupils, but as the sum- mer approaches 1! off gradually, havi business to attend to; thereby materially affecting the examination exercises, is it jnently hap- pens that the school thus losessome of its best ma- terial Where ali the pupils ina school are so well advanced as those of Mr. 8. J. Thomson. however, the distinction is not so as might otherwise be expected. The scholars were well classed, and exhibited great Proticiency in their several studies. They were examined ii readi § spelling, arithmetic, mar, geography, he tory, and the Constitution of the United ‘States; in all of which their prompt and intelligent replies and explanations gave high satisfaction to the ex- aminers. The classes were so constituted that no one class was shown off to the detriment of an- other; the lower classes, so far as they bad ad- vanced, exhibiting an equal amount of inteili- ence with the higher ones, and ting ¢ impartiality and faithfulness of their excellent teacher in a high degree Especial mention ought to be made of the classes in grammar, history, arithmetic, and the Constitution, whose examina. tien was ted and thorough, and must bave been hig! Hy gratifying to the teacher, as complimentary to the understanding of the schol- ars. In mental arithmetic particularly, the first and second classes exhibited remarkable readiness of calculation, sad performed examples that many 001 scholars would be puzzled to work out with- out the slate. As a whole, the examination was highly creditable to our public school system; and it is to be regretted that the parent or guardian of every pupil there had not been Present to enjoy with them the commendatory remarks of the trustees, so justly and deservedly bestowed at the close of the examination exercises. ATTENTION, NationaL Rieies'—On Thursday next, a flag is to be presented to the Culpeper Minute Men in a grove near Culpeper C. H., Va. The Hon. Jobn 3. Pendleton, who does such things capitally, istomake the ntation speech, to which Capt. Tazewell Patton, the commander of the corps, is tomake the reply. Eight or ten Virginia volunteer companies from Orange, Alber- marie, ee, Alexandria, and perhaps from other counties of the Old Deminion, wil attend, aswell as thousands of both sexes from the sur- rounding country. Great preparations have been made to bave “a high old time,” generally, the oceasion being the first such extensive military gathering that has ever taken place in Virginia, we apprehend. Would it not be well for the National Rifles to attend from this city, to show them a specimen of the drill of the volunteers of the Federal Metropolis? The point may be reached by taking the steamer George Page at 6a. m_, from whence they will be transferred to the railroad in Alexandria; to reach the grove after a deliyhtfal ride of between two and three hours. The return trip will be made at night, We trust the Rifles il take the idea into con- sideration; for they could not pass the day more pleasantly than thus. in the most beautiful coun. try imaginable, and under the shadow of the towering Blue Ridge Mountains. The railroad company will doubtless put the fare down to the lowest possible notch. Joun Day Parpoxrp —This morning the Pres- ident pardoned John Day from the te epee: where he has been serving a term of eight years for the crime of manslaughter, wiich term would bave expired on Monday next. The details of the crime of which Day was convicted are still fresh in the memory of most of our citizens. The victim was hisown young wife, and the cause jealousy At the time of his conviction the public mind was highly excited by the case, and for weeks it was a matter of discussion. Day was sent to the penitentiary, and from the time of his entry there took a sensible course, and be- came a tractable and useful prisoner. He was of great service to the Wardens in various instances where the security of the prisoners or the safety of the guards was endangered His good de- portment made him the favorite of the prison, and though his pardon isa gratification to the Warden and bis officers, his loss will be felt by them. He could be trusted alone. insidg or out of the prison, and in several cases of extreme necessity he bas been called upon todo service outside the walls, and never exhibited the least intention or desire to leave. This pardon will ve the effect to restore him to citizenship, and he will, we understand, leave the city with his unele, to reside in the country Biapexsrune Acapemy Case. —The case of D. Sheriff and others agt. BO. Loundes and others, involving the right to the control of the Bladensburg Academy, een the ‘‘old board”’ of trustees, successors to the original corporators, and the “new board,” under an act of Assembly of 1655, has been at last decided in the Court of Appeals in favor of the old board. The academy ‘was incorporated many yeers ago, the charter Daten that the corporators sbould perpetuate hemselve’, they and their successors to be trus- tees. The act of 1858 made a change, giving the election of trustees to the patrons of the school, and under this act, trustees were accordingly chosen. The old board refusing to yield, the new trustees applied for «mandamus, which the Court here, pro forma, refused to grant, from which the appeal was taken, resulting as above. Phe ground of the decision is the unconstitution- ality of the act of 185, the Court regarding the original charter as establishing & private corpora- tion, and covered by the rulings of the Supreme Court in the celebrated Dartmouth College case.

We understand that nothing is doing at the dams—the water in the Potomac and Wills’ creek is getting low, and there {s almost an entire suspension of boating on the canal. In the mean time several of our coal companies have large contracts to fulfil, and were about makin; others, but, from the uncertainty of being shite get it to market, will have to decline making any new contracts.

We were to-day shown by Mr. V Harbaugh, Treasurer of the Board of Public School Trus- tees, the assortment of premiums and diplomas to be distributed. They consist of fifty wti- fally wrought silver medals and twelve hundred elegantly bound books, of various descriptions The medals designed for the male department are fashioned after the shape of a Maltese cross, having neatly engraved on the one side the words “First Honor to ——, 1860;"? and on the reverse the inseription “Awarded by the Trustees of the Public Schools, W.

The diplomas, designed by Mr. J.G Bruff, of this city, and execu’ by Mr. Dougal, of G etown, are of such a description as that they may well be prized by the happy recipients, as well for their intrinsic worth, as ee being a reward of good scholarship CxuiminaL Court —Yesterday, Patrick O’Don- nell. tried for assaulting and resisting policeman pret | in the discharge of his duty, was fully — by the jury. oseph Straining was charged with an assault ona young man named Johnson, who had in anited the wife of the defendant.

Mr. Bradley then produced an affidavit, signed by the defendant, in which be set forth that be could not safely go to trial without the attendance of Mr. Robinson, of Ill., Waldo, of Conn , Wins- low, of N.C, and Covode, of Penn ; and that he expects to show by these absent witnesses that the Prosecuting witness, — with others, were ong ‘ogecer to destroy the character and damage the usefulness of the defendant.

Enough of the ‘‘need- ful” was provided to all claiins inst the Association, and leave it free and for the campaign. A resolution for the calling of e - aud it was sul arrangements be of the democ- racy of G to ratify nominations of jeorgetow Jobn C. Breckinridge and Gen. Joe Lane for President and Vice President of the United States, not, however, without a few dissentient yolces being beard. Several gentlemen af the minority subsequently defined ir positions, and an- nounced their determination not to sever their connection with the association, but to act with the majority for the sake of enone and «ff. ciency in our municipal contests hey were content to express their preference, and ‘having been overruled by a ity, were willing to second the call for the proposed ratification meet- ing. This prudent course is ing example for democrats throughout the country, and con- trasts very favorably with the inharmonious and uproarious democratic gatherings in Washington, @s reported in the Star. It was derided, we believe, to give up the present bail and rent a room elsewhere; and the aeetp lation potomesd to meet when called together by the president Great complaints are made in all the higher por Uons of our city of the scarcity of water. Many persons in moderately-elevated sections have been unable to draw any for two or three days and nights We do not know whether the evil can be remedied, in the nt state of the Aque- doct—we suppose not—but those who have an ample supply of the precious fluid may, by econ- omy in {ts use, help their less-favored neighbors The Red Men of Georgetown intend baving a No. 1 pic-nic about the 6th of August next. of which the particulars will be duly advertised in the Star. Very little new wheat is coming in, and none by canal. It may be quoted at $1 25 for red, and $1 30a$1.35 for white.
