JOLORE SHOOLS IN KENTUCKY AND ; cmphs TENNESSEE. The reports of schools in the Freedmen’s Bu- Teau from Kentucky and Tennessee show one bundred schools in active operation for colored children and destitute refagees. These schools are supported by different benevolent associa- tions throughout the North, but are placed under the auspices of General Fisk, Assistant Commussioner,&c. The total number of schol- ars in attendance in the month of September was 12,453, and total number of teachers em- ployed and in active service 190. The Assist- ant Commissioner also reports that the colored le throughout the whole district have Boon and are now supporting many indeper- dent schools; that they seem already to under- stand the grave importance of schooling their children, and have taken hold of the work in good faith, and that their attempts have been crowned with uniform and perfect success. He also reports that a number of schools would be taken up 4s soon as cold weather comes, they having declared vacation during the hot and unhealthy months of the season. CONSCIENCE STRICKEN. The Secretary of the Treasury yesterday received the following letter, containing 940, probably returned by some conscience-strick- en individual through the confessional: Wasuinoton, Nov. 2!.—Hon.

Few of the uninitiated know the significance ofthe same. When they wear the ends hang- ing in front, it means that the lady is married; the rignt shoulder that she is engaged; down the back, that she has a “feller” coming to see her, but she isn’t engaged; over the Jeft shoul- der, it means, «Fellers, come follow me.” If she does not wear any, it means that she is en- gaged, and don’t wish to have anything to do with “any other fellow.” -+--Rev.

There was the usual crowd in attendance at the White House to-day, one half of those present importuning the President for em- ployment. This class seems to haye no idea of what they want except that they mast have 4n appointment somewhere, and insist with the greatest pertinacity upon reciting all their private troubles. Very few of them bring any recommendations, but boldly introduce them- selves, ask for a situation as if the business of the Government could not proceed without their assistance, and listen to the statement of the President that he has nothing for them, with & most incredulous air. iiss 2S PATENTS EMERG PLLA TES An officer of the Freedmen’s Bureau, sta- tioned in Virginia, writes to General Howard that “at Appomattox Court House and near surroundings, there are about two thousand freedmen, a small portion of them near the Court House, and the balance scattered through the country. There appears to be a very no- ticeable kindness of feeling towards them on the part of the old residents of the district. The whites are willing to aid them all in their power, but owing to the fact that two large ar- mies were encamped here for a long time, and shortness of the crops the present season, the country is exhausted and the people for the time being poor.” FROM NORTH CAROLINA, An officer connected with the educational de- partment of the Freedmen’s Bureau has just returned to this city from a tour through North Carolina. He represents that there is but little money in the State, labor scarce, and few of the inhabitants are opposed to the educational ad- vancement of the freedmen, upon the ground that it makes them impudent and hard to man- age. Schools, however, have been established at Salisbury, Greensboro, and Raleigh, and others are being organized at Concord, Hugh Point, and Thomasville. —$<$—___. IMPORTANT REVENUE DECISION, The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has just rendered a decision which involyesa mach larger sum of money than any decision hereto- fore made. The case is that of a deed of trust or mortgage of the Great Western Railway Company to John R. Penn. trustee, a copy of which was forwarded to the Commissioner with the inquiry if 81.000 was the requisite amount of stamps for the instrument of writ- ing. The decision ot the Commissioner is that the deed or mortgage requires $30,000 worth of stamps, (instead of 21,000,) and thatit will be invalid unless so stamped. _ RELEASED. Orders issued from General Augur’s head- quarters, under date of November 22, remits the unexpired portion of the sentences of four- teen enlisted men of the Veteran Reserve Corps, and directs that they be set at liberty. These men were convicted of various military offenses by court-martial, and sentenced to hard labor at Fort Whipple, for terms of one and two years each. DONATION TO THE UNITED STATES, Yesterday, Secretary McCullough received from the executors of a deceased Indiana farmer, a $1,000 ten-forty bond, which the de- ceased had bequeathed to the Government to be applied towards the paymentof the national debt. GONE SOUTH. Gen. Eaton, Assistant Commissioner of Freedmen, in charge of the freedmen in this District, bas gone South on business connected with the Bureau. Upon his return it is under- stood that he will resign his position in the army to assume the editorship of a Southern paper. CATTLE SALE. The sale of beef cattle by the Commissary Department at Alexandria yesterday under the direction of Captain Hoff, reali: about 6, cents per pound gross weight. Five hun head of cattle were disposed of. Tue RiveR CHANNEL.—The plan years ago proposed in the columns of the Star for improy- ing the Washington channel by throwing the entire current across to this shore from Ana- lostan Island, was brought up last night before the Board of Trade meeting. It is the only mode by which the Washington channel can be saved, and it has the further recommenda- tion of being an important sanitary measure. When this is done an immense area of river shallows—now neither land or water, and throwing out at every turn of the tide the most pestilent malarial influences—can be reclaimed and made valuable ground. ——_—— Boarp oF TRADE.—It is expected that the new rooms of the Board of Trade, corner of 6th street and Pennsylvania avenue, will be fally opened for use by Monday. It is contem- plated, we believe, to keep them open from 9 a.m.to 10 p.m.; to have them supplied with the leading commercial papers of the country; and to have daily reports of Washington mar- kets posted up at the rooms for the convenience of the Board. When thus opened, the rooms will doubtless be the general resort of the business men of Washington who wish to com- pare notes or keep themselves posted with whatever is of interest to them in their calling PrxrsonaL.—Mrs. Cobb, sometimes styled the «Female Pardon Broker,” was about the White House ante-rooms to-day. -*+-Dan Ratcliffe, formerly of the Washington bar, is amongst the recent arrivals from Richmond. ----The actors of Philadelphia have formed an “Actors Pro- tective Union.” --+--Gen.

Saw Francisco, Novy. 22—A terrible storm has prevailed throughout the State during the ast week. It is the most severe storm that has -; m experienced in this State since the flood of 1961. Communication with the interior except by water and telegraph has been cut off. The Central Pacific Railroad suffered severe- ly by the caving in of embankments. Many districts received considerable damage by the washing away of dams, bridges, &c. ‘uch of the country bordering on Sacramento and Feather River was fi |. Marysville is under water, but is apparently not damaged much yet. The wharf at Half Moon Bay, on the Pacific coast, south of San Francisco, was washed way grams aiong with it, and, using ra it and ca to the amount of one hundred thousand - lars. There are no signs of the storm abating. The steamer Moses Taylor arrived from Nicaragua. —————— Examination ef French Vessels—Com- plaints of the French Government.

ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS.—We have received from the United States Naval Obser- vatory a valuable scientific work on “ Astro- pomical Observations,” made by the Naval Tvatory duri the year I¢ including Geerwetions with the several instrnments, as- censi and dechnation of the planets, stars and comets, barometric pressure, wind and weather, &c. The introductory gives an in- teresting ee of the Observatory and its instruments. In 142 Congress authorized the erection of & “ Depot of Charts and Instru- ments,”” which was completed in 1844, and ten years after changed, by order of the of the Navy, to “ United States Naval Obser- vatory and Hydrographical Office.” The Ob- servatory buildings consist of a central edifice fifty feet square, with wings to the east, west and south, and with a revolving dome twenty- three feet im diameter. There are four rooms on each floor of the central buildine. One is occupied as a library and office for the Superintendent; two are filled with ch: arranged for distribution to the ships of the navy; and the remainder, both on the first and second floor, are assigned to the assistants. In the west wing are the Meridian Transit Instru- ment and two clocks, of London manufacture, connected by means of wires with a galvanic battery and registering apparatus. In the east wing are the mural circle, meridian circle, barometers, clocks of intricate mechanism, and nautical instruments of all kinds. In the south wing are the prime vertical transit instrament, clocks, and astronomical works. The equato- rial instrument is under the dome, mounted upon a granite pedestal, which is supported by a hollow conical pier, the whole resting on a foundation of masonry 10) feet thick and 15 feet in diameter. Some of the instruments are wonders of mechanism, one being so sensitive as to be affected by the approach of any per- son. For the gong of giving correct time to the city a staff has been placed on top of the dome, and a large light ball boisted thereon at ten minutes before mean noon of every day except Sundays and the national holidays. After the ballis up, the pulley 1s connected with an electro-magnetic battery, and at the instant of noon the circuit is broken by the as- sistant in the chronometer room. The fall of the ball is communicated by an electric cur- rent to the instruments of the central office of the Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph, which simu taneously with the drop of the ball at the Observatory, strikes the hour on the fire alarm bells of the city. Experience during two years having shown that American workmen would make, with one exception, all nautical nstruments needed by the navy, and that these instruments in materials, execution and cost, most creditably compared with specimens from the best re- puted foreign establishments, it has become a permanent policy to purchase only from do- mestic manufacturers. — NATIONAL Union INSURANCE CoMPANY.— By the announcement elsewhere it will be seen that this new insurance company is now fully organized, with a main office 424 15th street, opposite gs & Co.'s banking house, and & branch cfice at the law office of J. H. Jobnson, 64 Louisiana avenue, near the Bank of Washington.

Policies are issued by this company for a shorter period than one year when desired, and other features of ac mo- dation to insurers have been adopted. The officers are:—Directors, Charles Knap, Pres- ident; Geo. W. Riggs, Vice President; Thos. Berry, Geo. 8. Gideon, Marshall Brown, Rich- ard Wallach, Daniel Dodd, H.C. Fabnestock, Wm. Dixon.

Andrews and Robert A. Sorrell, boatmen. From the statement of the officer it appeared thet the crowd in the dance house ascertained that the two boatmen arrested and another who was not arrested had a large amount of mone with them. A fight was got up 7 the crowd, and about fifteen pitched on e boatmen. When the officer zot to the crowd, one of the boatmen had the proprietor lifted above the railing of the stairway, and was going to throw him down, when Holbrook saved Barnes’ life by seizing the boatman. This morning the officers returned to the boatmen about #140, taken from them last night. Justice Bates fined each of the prisoners $5. npn nteiinreeene Crrmixar Court, Judge Wylie—This morn- ing, Daniel Ratcliffe, formerly a member of the Washington bar, and recently returned from the South, appeared in the court reom. M.B. Hasford, convicted of grand larceny, was about to receive his sentence when his counsel, Judge Day, submitted a motion for a new trial, which is under consideration. Jobn Heenan was tried and found guilty of grand larceny. The Court suggested that the indictment in this case should have been for burglary, and the District Attorney has taken —— to procure an indictment on that charge. Adolph Croto was pnt on trial charged with stealing a horse, the property of Richard Skin- ner. ————— Insanity.—For some time past a young girl who calls herself Sallie Collins has 2 - ping at No. 64 13% street, Hooker's Division. Recently she began to show symptoms of in- sanity, and two days ago became quite insane. She quit No. 64 yesterday morning and went to another house, but last might she returned to 64 and so annoyed the inmates that she was taken to the station house of the Second Ward. Twice during her moments of insanity she at- tempted to commit suicide. This morning she gave her true name, and being rational, was allowed to goto the home of her family in Philadelphia. _—— Szeconp Warp Station Cases.— Patrick Sullivan, violating cerporation ordinance; $3.
