The following is the official showing ot the circulation of the daily papers of this city competing for the Government advertising wnder the recentaet of Congress directing such Advertising to be made in the two daily news- papers ot Washington haying the largest circulation = ENCOURAGING FROM VIBGINIA The Assistant Superintendent of the Freed- men's Bureau in Southampton county, Va., in his report to the Bureau, says that the con- Gition of affairs in his county are very fayor_ { able. The state of feeling existing between | the whites and freedmen is all that could be | expected. There are very few, if any, freed- men im the county unemployed. Nearly all bave made contracts for the year, either for Stated wages, or for a share in the crops, and as far as he is able to ascertain, both employer and employees are-well satisfied. Those that | have shares in the crops, he thinks, are much the best off, as those who are working for | money spend it as fast as itis received. Many of the ola planters say that thegare making better crops with half the number ot hand® they used to work as slaves. A report from Fauquier county, Va., states that the feeling mow existing between the Whites and the freedmen is of a very encour_ Sging character. No reports of abuse of the biacks bave been made during the month. The freeomen have observed in good faith the con- tTact made by them with the whites: the latter: also, witha few exceptions, haye done the fame towards the blacks. It is net thought that the feeling against the freedmen is aS strong as it has been heretofore. The Assistan; Superintendent states tha: he is free to say the morals and the domestic affairs of the freedmea bave been much improved since the promul- ganon and explanation to them of circulars Wo. 10 and 11. from headquarters Assistant Commissioner, in reference to marriages. The treedmen are procuring their licenses, and | manifest a better understanding of the subject. Some interest has been manifested by the clergy of the county in the education of the children of the freedmen, and app)ications for books have been complied with through the New England Freedmens’ Aid Society. Enough books have been received for the | establishment ef schools for the coming | autumn DEPARTMENT OF THE PLATTE. Brevet Major General P. St. @.

Bat rear ‘8 WOOD CAMP We gave yesterday the particulars of the murderous outrage committed by rowdies of Anne Arundel county upon the unoffending blacks attending the camp meeting at Ship- ley’s Grove. We regret exceedingly to see already manifested a disposition to screen these scoundrels, who with similar ruffians elsewhere are doing so much to injure the fair fame of the South, The attempt to gloss over and apologize for such acts does mischief. ‘The allegations put forth by the apolcgists for those ruffians that the bloodshed was origina- ted by the squad of praying colored people who were there with their wives and children is too ridicvlous to find ¢redence anywhere. instead of getting up sham “investigations,” which deceive nobody, the people and author- ities of Anne Arundel owe it to themselves to promptly set about bringing the rowdy perpe- trators of this disgracefal deed to justice. Let no ties of felationship,—and all Anne Arun- del is said to be related by at least some degree of cousinship—serve to screen the guilty par- ties. It is a public duty to show that no Southern community tolerates such deeds. To countenance them and thus incite their repetition, is a treacherous blow aimed at the Government that is struggling against such formidable opposition to heal national dissen- sions, and save the South from annihilation. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. On Monday the public schools re-open after the usual vacation. Their character bas im- proved year by year, until now they area Matter of pride tO all Washingtonians; yet there is much room for advancement, and we trust thatevery means will be taken by our city autherities to secure that progress—cer- tainly that no retrograde steps shall be taken. More and better school buildings are required, In only one district in the city—the Third— have we a s@hpol-building that we can exhibit to the visitor” without a blush ofshame. For the most part our school buildings are wooden sheds, damp basements of churehes, ex-stables- and second-hand carpenter-shops. and the schools are constantly displaced from even these wretched hovels by the progress of im- provements: and the trustees are required to spend no small portion of their tine in huating up other shed edifices, to afford some sort of a cheap shelter tor the scholars. who are thus keptin a state of prilgrimage from one out, bouse to another. This is mortifying to the trustees and utterly discreditable to us asa city We hope that no Rip-van-winkle-ish spirit, discouraging the erection of suitable school buildings, will be tolerated in either branch of our City Councils. THE BADICAL S8rIBIT. The temper in which the Radicals propose to beal our national troubles and make us once more & united people is shown by the “en- thusiastic applause” given to such utterances as the following made by Parson Brownlow in his speech in Philadelphia last evening Brownlow is to be the ruling spirit in the Philadelphia Southern Convention, and a very dignified sweet-tempered affair it is likely to turn out if bis speech is a specimen brick! In this speech he said : “The object of the rebels is to bring on another war; and if again u have to leave your families. then the speaker wanted to di- rect thatarmy. Divide into three divisions— the first with artillery and small arms, to do the killing, the second with torches and tur- pentine, to do the burning, and a third with cbhainsand compass, to do the surveying—dis- irtbute the country among the people, or sell it to pay the expenses of tne war.” After this we are not suprised to learn that be “-heartlily endorsed Congress in all its acts, pronouncing it the ablest deliberative body ot modern times.” BETUBN OF MBS.

Jn.—This morning, at li o'clock, the members of the Washington city bar met pursuant to announcement, in the Common Council Chamber, to pay tributes to the memory ot the late Wm. J. Stone, jr. Such a large gathering of lawyers bas not been seen in this city on similar occasiems for many years. The meeting was calied to order by Wm. B. Webb, Esq., and on his motion Mr. Jobn Marbury was made president, and Wm. R, Woodward, E<q., secretary. Messrs. Wm. Redin and Joseph H. Bradley*condacted the venerable Mr. Marbury to the chair; when he thanked the members of the bar for the privi- lege wh.ch they thus conferred upon him in expressing bis respect for the memory of their departed brother. On motion of Mr. Wm. F. Mattingly, Messrs. Joseph H. Bradley, sr., Wm. Redin, Wm. B Webb, Hugh Caperton, and John ©. Kennedy, ‘were appointed a commiftee to draft resolu- ticns. After retiring for a half hour, the committee returned with the following preamble and resolutiens : William J. Stone, jr., Esq., for many years past a leading member of the bar of the Dis- trict of Columbia, having departed this lite at **Moupt Pleasant,’ the country residence of his late father, on Thursday, the 30th instant, in the very prime of his usefainess, and in the full possession of the esteem and triendship of all who knew bim, it becomes us who knew him best, and therefore the more valued his many sterkng qualiues, to make this public Gemonstration of our admiration for him asa professional brother, and our affection for him asa friend. As alawyer he had by faithful study ac- quired a thorough knowledge of his profes- sion, aud He alway< bad that knowledge so entirely at bis command as tomake him sin- gularly useful to those who had the fortune to obtain his assistance in their affairs, So de- voted was he to whatever he undertook that there can be little doubt that his health suf- fered and finally gave way under we strain his unceasing professional labors impressed upon it. His integrity was unquestioned and ungnestionable, bis energy unuring, and bis faithiulness unsurpassed. He was a man of sound judgmentand strong common sense. In the very tront ranks of the profession just as he had gained the prime of life, with his na- turally strong qualities of mind developed by the most assiduous self culture, with his de- termined devotion to the pursuit of knowledge, and his remarkable habits of careful, thought- ful study, there seemed to spread before him a future opening to the very Inghest eminences that could be gained in the community in which he lived. But it was notto be, and we are ealled upon to mourn our sad bereayment, cheered, as we turn to admire the life of our de- parted brother, wih the ascurance that there is a future where such lives meet with their full reward. With all his high qualities, our friend was ever eminently modest, ever ready toimpart of his stores of knowledge, and to receive in- struction from the humblest who sought his counsels. He bad nove of that§pride thatso frequently disfigures the possession of great abilities or superior learning, but kindly, gent- ly, and with & patience that knew no bounds, he listened, then modestly gave his opinion, and frankly discussed that opinion with his brother lawyer. nen ie left him without feeling that he had ad@ed something to what knowledge he already possessed, and at the same ume that he had acquired it from a friend whose superiority had about it nothing that made it repugnant. His life was quietly in the ordinary pursuits of his profession, and very much of it away from the bustling haunts of men; but his qualities of mind and bead were such as foroade his being obscure. He was a good citizen, a devoted husband and father, and a true christian gentieman. There is not one of the many who knew him in this community who will not be ready and willing to unite in this tribute to his worth. We, who were associates for so many years, his personal friends every one of us, endeared to him by many memories of his kindness, feel that too much cannot be said in expression ot our tender regard, nay, our love and affection for him as a man, and in admir: mn for him as a Jawyer, much that we feel must go unex- pressed: Wherefore 1. Resolved, That we feel with decp sensibil- ity the loss his family, ourselves, and the com- munity have sustained in his seemingly pre- mature death. Our deceased friend sed the finest sensibilities and a most affectionate heart. He enjoyed in an eminent degree the confidence of the community, and was sin- cerely beloved by all who had the privilege and happiness of krowing intimately his many virtues. 2. Resolved, That we cherish the highest re- spect for his professional attainments and abil- iues; for the purity and uprightness of his li the equanimity of his temper, and for the esti mable qualities which belonged to him as a man anda Christian—a kinder and more sin- cere, and honorable man never lived. 3. Kesolved, That as evidence of the sin- cerity of these sentiments and feeli we will wear the usual badge of mourning: id that copies of these resolutions be transmitted to his bereaved wife and mother, as a faint bat sin. cere assurance to them of our grief and deep sympathy and condolenee in the great, and to us seemingly irreparable, loss they have sus- tained. In God, who never fails the afflicted, must be their ‘ruet. 4. Kesolved, That the members and officers of the Court be invited to unite with us in our testimonial of respectto the memory of our deceased brother,and that they meet us here at 2 o'clock. to-morrow afternoon, and proceed with us to the Church of the Ascension, where funeral ‘monies will the cere: it is here! also, that these resolutions be pabiiezed ance meee of this city.
