Our City Schools and Scholars. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Sm—In your paper of Thursday, you state that the whole number ofchildren taught in the common Schools of this city was 116,627; that our city resi- dent population has increased in no such proportion; that this statistical statement bears out fully what has been already asserted in the Hera.p; that the inhabitants of Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and places along Harlem railroad, availing themselves of the facilitics of communication, send their children here to school; and you justly characterize this as an impcsition. Allow,me to point out the source of your mistake. In glancing over the annual report made to the Board of Education, on Wednesday evening, you have not observed the distinction between th» whole number of children taught at any time during the year, and the actual average attendance. By law, tho teachers of all the schools report, under oath, the average of attending scholars. This ave- rage is ascertained by keeping an exact account of the number of scholars present every school-time, or half day; then adding those numbers together, and dividing the sum by 460, which is the number of half days or school seesions‘during the year—Satur- days, Sundays, and the usual holidays, being de- ducted, leaving only two hundred and thirty bie days. The’ same children are often re- gistered in diferent schools several times during the same year, in censequence of the froquent removals of their parents from one ward to another. The true measure is the average attendance, upon which is computed the cost of public instruction. Thus, during the year 1851, at 4b 18 per scholar, 42,960 children wero taught during complete days. Perhaps it would more accurate to say that 42,960 seaisin the schools were oceupied by scholars for 460 heif days, although it is not the less true that more than 106,000 children have received some instruction at different periods of the school year. As to the other point, I am able to assort that since the enactment of the present amended school law, passed July 3, 1851, not a single child coming from the adjacent country has beon admitted into any of our city schools. Great pains have been taken to guard against the abuse of which you complain; and there is good reagon to beliove, with entire success { may add that the form of affidavit proseribed law, which the teachers make as to the correctness | of theirretwrns, requires thom to report “ (he aye- rago number of children actual residents of the city and county of New York. Your obedient servant, " Jamns W. BRBKMAN. Now York, Jan. 4, 1852 ‘Women’s Rights Convention» _ We havo alroady published tho procecdings of the ‘Women’s Rights Convention, held at Westchester, Pa., of which Mrs. M. A. W. Johnson was eleoted President. The following is the Philadelphia Bul- lctin’s report of the PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. Mrs. Jonson, after hegfelection as President of the convention, delivered the following address :— J accept, not without reluctance, the position which your partiality has assigned me, because I would not even seem, at this stage of our movement, to set an unworthy example by timidly shrinking from its duties. We are assembled on this occasion from a deep consciousness of tho evils resulting from the false position occupied woman, and in the ho, that earnest and friendly discussion may prepare t to labor efficiently for their removal. eso ev affect not woman alone, but stand as an obstruction to the developement and progress of the race. By her exclusion from a voice in the public councils, tho legislation of the country is deprived of the puri- fying, elevating, unselfish feminine element, which is exsential to the onactment of just and beneficont laws. By depriving her of the proves facilities for intellectual culture and growth, her whole nature is wronged ; and deep shadows are now resting upon the world of mind, which can be dispersed only by mingling with the inadequate light of the mas- culine element the rays emanating from woman’s clear instincts and cultivated mental powers. Woman, in consequence of being placed in unequal and unnatural social relations, fails to recognise her her inviduality, and aie merges her own life in that of man, whom she has been taught to revorence as her intellectual superior. This process has gone on, age after age, until the great_mass of the sex fail to percoive tho true relations of life and duty, and feol it to be no concern of theirs if their husbands, fathers, and brothers, to gratify their politioal ambition, or promote their personal ag- grandisement.plunge tho nation in the herrors of war, by which their own hearthstones aro made desolate, and widows and orphans are multiplied throughout tho land. They are too often content with their prosont meagre facilities for culture and ‘developement, and willing to remain in the vale be- low, and watch with exultation the progress of their brothers, as they surmount successive difficulties in their ascent to tho heights of learning and power ; forgetting that the mothers of the raco, if they would be prepared to transmit a vigorousand health- ful intellectual constitution to their children, and be qualified to guard the infancy ofa great and virtuous people, must cultivate, to their fullest extont, the intellectual cenasieiea with which thoy are them- selves endowed. Thus woman connives at her own degradation, and inso doing wrongsnot only herself, but the whole race. During the peried of her youth- ful existenco, she is admired, flattered, petted, and caressed, and ere the years of ripening womanhood ar- rive, she is ready to merge her being in that ofa hus- band, who is quite willing to assume her most im- rtant responsibilities, on condition of receiving rom her the love and obedience which he feels are due to his superior intelligence and wisdom. This subserviency and weakness on the one hand, and this autherity and power on the other, yield their legitimate fruits, and life is darkened by the bit- terest See reurian ae If the wife yearns for a larger, freer, and more independent existence, and be- gins to look in hope for a wider field of thought and action—something beyond mere household drudgor: —she finds the fetters of custom and prejudice bind- ing her as with bands of iron, while the powers by which alone they can be broken have been enfeebled by an inadequate and Pea system of educa- tion. The position in which woman has beon placed isan anomaly. On tho one hand she is constant! reminded ef duties and responsibilities from “sind an angel might shrink. The world is to be saved by | m | her pearers; her quiet and gentle efforts. Man, she is told, is ruled by her smiles—his whole nature sub- dued by the potency of her tears. Priests, politi- cians and pocts assure her with flattering tongue, that on her depend the ral and destiny of the race. On the other hand, she is told that she must lovingly confide in the strength and skill of man, who has been endowed with superior intellectual powers; that she must count. it her highest honor to re- fleet upon tho world the light of his intelligence and wisdom, as the moon reflects the light of the sun. We may congratulate one another on this occasion, in view of the cheering indications so manifest on every hand, that the ignorance and darkness which have so long brooded over the propects of woman, are beginning to give place to the light of truth. In the summer of 1843, in the village of Seneca Falls, a smallnumber of women, disregarding alike the sneers of the ignorant and the frowns of the learned, mbledin convention, and boldly claimed for themselves, and for their sex, the rights eon- ferred by God and so long withheld by man. Their courageous words were the expression of sentiments which others had felt as deeply as themselve which the restraints imposed by long establi eustom had tuught them to suppress.

What, then, is the substance of our demand ? | T answer, we demand for wo: equal freedom with | her brother to raise her voice and exert her in- fluence dircetly for the removal of all tho evils that afflict the race; and that she be permitted to do this in the mamner dietatod by Ler own sense of pr priety and justice.

These demands, we think, must bo admitted to b essentially wise and just. We make them in no spirit of selfish antagonism to the other sex, but under a deep conviction that they are prompted by an enlightened regard for the highost welfare of the race. Nome one has justly said, that God has so linked the human family together, that any violence done at one end of the chain is felt throughout its length. The true interests of the sexos are not an- tagonistic, but harmonious. There can be no just conflict between their respoctive rights and duties. For the coming of the day when this great truth shall be universally received, we must work and pray as we have opportunity. When that day shall arrive, it will be clearly poreeived that in the true harmonic order, * woman and her brothers are pil- lars.in the same temple, and priests of the same worship.” Mrs. Niorons, of Vermont, made a briof speech onthe absurdity of the popular idea of “Woman's spore,” showing that that sphere is as wide as her enpacity and as extensive as hor sonse of duty to the race. The Business Committee introduced a series of resolutions, which wore accepted, and tho following was taken up for discussion :— Whereas, it is an acknowledged principle in our demo- eratie government, that “governments derive their just Powers from the consout of the governed,” aud that tax- ation without representation is unjust and despotic; therefore, Resolved, That women are entitled, by natural rights, to equal participation with man in the political institu.

Wesrcuester, June 3, 1853, ‘Mhe convention met at nine o’olock, ‘The Business Committee reported, for the consideration of the convention, a series of rosolutions, congratulating the world on the advance made in the doctrines held by the convention; denying the right of Legislatures to en- dow institutions whose advantages women were precluded from enjoying; asking for an alteration of the laws, whereby the wife may inherit the estate of her husband as he inherits hers, and be regarded as the guardian of her ehild; and demanding that remuneration for equal service may be the same to womeu as men. ‘The consideration of these resolutions was postponed for the present, to hear a letter rend from Mary Mott, of Indi and to allow Ann Preston to give an exposition of the views of the convention. ‘The address acts forth that women demand an equality before the law; that the propert of the husband should descend to the wife, as his only heir; that women should be permitted to hold offices of trust and profit; and so trained to unfold her nature, that every path should be repos as her appropriata sphere, wherever duty pointed. ‘hese views were any maintained by Mrs. Nichols, Mra, Gage, Mrs. Rose, and Lucretia Mott, and adopted as the sentiments of the convention. The resolutions of the committee were taken up, pend- ing the discussion on which the convention adjourned until 234 o'clock, AFTERNOON SESSION. ‘The convention met wt 24; o'clock, and resumed the consideration of the resolutions reported during the morn- ing. Interesting remarks were made by B.

Santa Fe (New Mexico), May 1, 1852. Threatened Insurrection of the Mexicans—The People and their Management—The Indian Wars—Wild Cat in Chihuvahua—Head Money—A Premium for Scalps. Within tho last fow weeks there seems to havo been much apprehension entertained by the Amori. can portion-of this population, of an insurrection on tho part of the Mexican portion. What were the exact grounds of this fear Tam unable to say; but they could have been by no means insignificant, to judge from the steps which the military thought it proper to take. There was but one company of¢ United States troops left in this place, but the com- manding officer of tho post, Col. Brooks, adopted such wise and judicious moans of defence, in the event ofa revolt, as must have rendored it very safe against almost any number of assailants. Everything is quiet once more; but it must bo confessed, with regret, that there is but little confi- dence existing between the two races of people. The Americans are a people so infinitely suporior every way to the Mexicans, that it is duticult for them to conceal their contempt for them; and it is not agrecable to the Mexicans to be reminded, even unintentionally, of their inferiority. These people were nexer taxed by the Mexican gevernment, neither did they pay any taxes towards the support of the government of the ‘* depart- ment.” The Governors, however, managed in some indirect way to collect money enough to pay them- selves very handsomely for their valuable services. In consideration for the exemption from federal tax- ation, it was understood, or stipulated, perhaps, that the department was to bear the expense of its defence against the Indians. The taxes were never collected, and the defence was never made. But this long exemption from direct taxation of any kind has caused the Beenie to conceive an indescri- bable horror of the whole system in any shape. It is on this account that the Legislature, which has already convened two or three times since the or- Faeroe of the present government, have not lared to impose a tax, save a very heavy indirect one upon the merchants. This having n long resisted by most offthe merchants, as opp eand unconstitutional, the territorial treasury has been without funds, and almost unable to furnish support to the prisoners in the jails. The truth is, but a few days ago, the Governor was obliged to liberate every prisoner in the jail of this town for the want of the means of feeding them. | Neither have we hatl any police; and the merchant’s revolyer has been the only protection his property has had.

Enough is known of the author's part in the Hunga: war of independonce—enough has boon said of his conduct at its close—to cause a general stir of expectation on the first hint of his ‘rising up to explain.” He has done this at groat length, in a preciso, elaborate manner, with nosmal’ ability.

The confidence with which this attitude is taken—the energy and bittersarcasm which point tho writer's strictures on the character, designs, and behavior of Kossuth—the plainness with which he speaks of the military eveuty of the war, and of the conduct of troops and officers engaged in it-- will enhance the sensation which any narrative from his ie would have produced.

But it is in any point of view an important historical docu- ment; remarkable, as well for the ground taken, as for the subtlety and force with which it is applied to the whole series of transactions in which Georgei was concerned. So copious is the work—containing in the two volumes, more than 700 closely filled pages—that we can only attempt to give a general summary of its contents; and this, from the nature of the subject, will but faintly reproduce its intricate facts and close arguments. What can be done within the compass of a few columns, must, however, be attempted, by pursuing the course of the story asfar as possible in the order ofthe original. It may be remised, once for all, that in this process we shall follow the writer Where comment is not expressly introduced as our own, it must be understood that we merely state what he says, omitting, for brevity’s sake, the repetition of a formula to that effect. Arthur Gcorgci, formerly a subaltern in the Aus- trian service, but retired, joined the national risin early in IMS, under the Batthyani ministry, and was made captain ina Honved regiment. At this time the attitude of the nation was that of resist- anee, under the express sanction of its Austrian King, to what be had declared to be the rebellious invasion of Jellachich. The foree of the country consisted partly of regularly trained soldiers, partly of new levies, militia, national guards, &c. The former only, from first to last, wore efficient in sup- orting the war, but they were badly offievred; the jatter ill-armed, suspicious, undisciplined and un- steady, could never be depended upon. Of their misconduct in the face of the enemy, Georgei com- plains at every stage of his narrative ; and he re- cords acts of cowardice and misbehavior, not among the common sort alone, which are startling from their excess and frequency in the levies of a nation usually deemed altogether warlike. Tho re- sult of his experience in this respect will have more than a local interest ; it confirm what has been advanced elsewhere by higher mili- tary anthor on the danger of relying upon any- thing but discipline in martial operations. As to the non-military, the lowest class and the gural popu- lation are declared to have been lukewarm, if not absolutely ill affected to the insurgent cause. Al- though elsewhere, inand out of the army, there was no lack of enthusiasts, the evidence of Georgei painfully confirms the warning of Sir Charles Na- pier, as to the danger of trusting to the elfticacy of mere impulse against the fire and manouyres of a trained enemy.

Al¥er this, tho troops bogan to behave better; some advantages were gained by Klapka and others; and matters were taking a more hopeful turn, when Dem- binski--Kossuth’s protégé—-grrives as commander-in- chief, and spoils all.

Bofore anything olee could be dono, this nearost danger must be met—a dangor now inoreased tenfold by Kossuth’s act. From this moment compromise had become hopeless. By pasenac the crown of Hun- gary forfeited, he had provoked a struggle for life and death. Resolved to reconquer by the army, if posible, the truce constitutional ground of the war, Georgei was, under theso circumstances, constrained to temporize with the government, hoping, moan- while, to sustain the spirit of the troops vy mew suc- 8 This is the substance of Goorgei’s version of Kos- suth’s policy and of his own conduct at this critical momont. (tis, howover, visibly defective as re- gards the former, in virtually passing over the pre- vious act by which the Court of Viens had ann led the constitution of Hungary. Nor does it appear, | cither, that the adherence by Kossuth’s government to the original basis of the war would have led to the revooution of the Austrian edict, or that tho ro- prisais taken by declaring the crown forfeited prac- ticaliy lamgd the Hungarian defence. la Georgei’s army, however ill affected it might be to the now or- der of things, it does not, by his own report, seem to have caused any actual mischief The charge would be graver were it shown that tho revolution- ary step induced Russia to take part in tho fray. But this Georgei does not positively assert. It may be added, that tho result of his narrative cloarly leaves animpression that against Austria alone the hope of maintaining the struggle was by no means such as has been commonly represented. From what ho saya of the neglected state of the troops, of the want of able officers, of tho weaknoss of The government, and of the coldness of the popular fuel- ing when sacrifices were demanded, it would seem that, with the power which Austria’s Italian suc- cesses had set at iiberty, and with any leader moro ablo than Windischgratz, the issuc might indeed have been deferred, but would in the end have been the same as that which oame more suddenly with the Russians. ‘The news of their entry was first heard in the camp of Comorn. ‘orgel at once felt tho signifi- cance of this event. His only hope now lay in gain- ing, before the Russians drew near, some great suc- cess against Austria, which might dispose her to grant terms to Hungary. ‘This was not the view of Kossuth, who is described as lalling himself for some time, and still longer trying to cheat his countrymen, with hopes that Russia’s intrusion would be the signal for intervention in Hungary's favor by ‘* England, France, the United States, and Turkey The Russians, however, advanced with- out any such check, and affairs became hourly more and more critical. Georgei, by great exertions, partly carried his plan into effect, but not enough for the end he proposed, He advances from Comorn, besieges and takes Ofen, to which the government returns, Kossuth at its head, now as ‘* Governor of Hungary.” At this stage occurs the most damaging of Georgei’s confessions. Hitherto he had done nothing that actually committed him to the opinions which he now denounces. He had openly identi- fied himself by the Waizen address to. the army in January with the cause of constitutional mon- areh, The decorations offered him, in reward of his late successes, he refused to receive from the re- yolutionary goverpment, and altogether might be said to have kept his place as its antagonist rathor than as its officer, Kossuth, under thie cum stances, plainly allowing him to remain in command only because he couldnot help it. No other Gene- ral had had equal suecess; and his officers, one and all, showed, on various occasions, both now, and to the very end of the war, that they were determined to keep him at their head. Late in April, we say, i.e. after the declaration, Georgei assumed. in addition to his im) ry com- mand, the oflice of War Minister, for which he had been named some time earlier, but had at first got Klapka to act as his substitute. Thisoflice enjoined an oath of allegiance to the revolutionary govern- ment, an overt adoption of its principles that cannot 1 nsaid, nor well reconciled with the position al- described. y admits that an insinesrity—and thus justifies it. To the rescue of the country in any way the preservation of the army was indispensable—and of this, an efficieat inistry was the first condition. No one else appeared fit for the post. _Klapka, brave and skilful in the field, had shown himeclf weak in the cabinet, a mere tool of Kossuth’s. As an instance of this Georgei cites his consenting, against his betterjudg- ment, to the extraordinary appointment of a’sister of the Governor as *G ordiaconeCilive and Sick Nurse in general to all Hungary,” an, appointment bringing the whole hospital system, including the military branch, under a woman’s control, and this, Hagrante tello! "to prevent absurdities like this, and others threatened by Kossuth’s itch for military sway, both capneity und firmness were wanted. Kossuth had purposely deceived him as to the revo- heme before the Mth of April; to de- uth in turn was no more than a fair strat- agem, indispensable to the ultimate purpose, of vital moment % the future of Hungary. of overthrowing Koesuth altogether.

All the circumstances attending this unéxpected gain of a man are most gratifying. Without compromising himself or othors, Thomas Francis O’Meaghor passes from bonds to freedom— from Australia to America. We bid him cead mille failtha to the homo of half his race, upon this continent. On Sunday last, @ million Irish hearts, before tho altar of sacrifice, sighed out on his account, ‘Thank God!” There is but one feeling in our Kasterncommunity, towards him, that of delight at his safety, and admiration for his genius and character. Tho Irish heart is pre= foundly stirred, and many he inspired with higher hopes, than it has dared, of late, to ontertain. Ieit best that we should add to this heartfelt welcome, any speculations of our own? Conscionce tolls us to say that Mr. Meagher runs the risk o€ being deceived in New York, by partics who, have ing committed themselves to the policy of Kossuth, are anxious to get as many prosclytes on their sid@ as they can. We beseech Mr. a do by our ancient friendship, tho dear name o! Trelan and by his noble ity, to beware of such frionds— such as the Tribune, which calls him ‘‘ the Trish, Kossuth.” They are fatal friends. Ifhe were am angel instead of an orator, they would try to use him for their own ends—they would pluck, one by one, his celestial feathers to adorn their Hungarian hats. Their conspiracy against the social and Christian principles of Christendom has gono so far that they are incaprble of a single idea unconnected, with their infamous designs. On this side of the Atlantic, New York is to their operations what Leme don is on the other side.

It commenced in the blacksmith’ shop of John Belcher, at 2 P.

The following are the names of such of the sufferers as we have been em= vised, in order to make him the seapogoat for the sins and cowardice of the government, by seeming to expect a consummation which Kossuth knew was impossible, and as to which, before resigning power and handing it ovor to Coorgei, he knew the resoki- tion of the Tatler, That anarmy, such asit was, worn out with 200 miles of harassing retreat, left by the final desertion of the government without provisions, command of an army.” As for a foreigner, his ap- pointment was unwelcome to the troops; but Kos- suth, in bringing him from Paris, had in view his favorite scheme ofa ‘ solidarity of peoples,” and an eye to the invitation of a Polishrising. A shame- ful failure at’ Kapolna, where, arriving late in the day, he converted Klapka’s ‘partial success into hopeless defeat, was the beginning and end of his trial at this period. The army rose against him; and Kossuth was reluctantly forced to replace Goor- gei in the command—provisionally, indeed, as /ocum tenens for General Vetter, whose ill health, how- ever, prevented him from ever acting. Then fol- lowed a period of inaction. The government had fled to Debreezin. Austria seemod in the ascondant, and published her notorious manifesto—to which Kossuth, in the following April, replica by the re lution declaring Hungary independent. During this intorval, it was Georgei’s army that won a Hatvan, Tapio-Bieske, apd at Isazeg, and finally raised the sioge of Comorn;—successes, he candidly says, ow- ing moro tothe incompetence of Windischgritz than to the conduct of his own troops, of whom few but trained soldicrs bebaved themselves woll in and vastly outnumbered by the enemy, could have gained anything for th sar 4 by further resist- ance, was obviously ineredible.
