CAPTURE OF MIRAGOANE BY THE SOUTHERN REVO- LUPLONISTS, On or about the 7th inst, a strong column of the so-called Cacos, headed by General Brice, one of the chief leaders of the Sonthern revolution, attacked the town ana foris of Miragoane, which weve strong in position and defended by the troops of Sainave, under command of General St. Vil John, It appears that this general abandoned his position without defending tt and retired nehind the bridge of Mira- gone, one of the strongest positions on the Southern coast, where lie Intrenched himself, The Cacos took possession of the town and ordered off all the vessels loading, among which was the { American bark Isaac Rich, which vessel in going out Was fired into by the Cacos and received three shots in her huil although sho had the American ensign flying at the time.

A special meeting of this Hoard was hold last evening tor the purpose of considering the estimate of expenditures for the year 1870, but a’ such a meeting Was rather unusual there was rather a slim attendance, The President, Mr. R. L. Larremore, Was inthe chair, The first business presented was areport from the Finance Committee, giving the estimate of expenditures for the couung year as follows:— Salaries for teachers a Support of col 3. .1,737,000 ae! a A ach ning schouls 40'00 Supplies throusit depository 8 125,000 Fuel, gaa and Incidental ‘repaira, schoo! 182,009 or rente of ‘school premise 45,000 For corporate schools, apportionmen 75,000 For expenses of Hoard of Education, printing, bind- planog...... 27,000 ke. + 61,000 ltering, support en organized since last appropriation, &c. Total amount. 5 2 Aftor deducting from this amount the sum appor- tioned to the county of New York—$422,216 92—the balance wiil be the amount required during the year. Commissioner Gross objected to the adoption of the report, and moved a8 an amendment that the sum total be made $2,500,000, He objected to the leaving out of the item providing fuuds for the erection of buildings and purchase of sitos, Tle showed the increase of expenditures during the several years since 1864 to have been AS follows:—1864, $1,787,000; 1865, $2,293,000; 1866, $2,454,000; 1867, $2,039,000; 186%, 179,000, That the total increase trom 1864 to 1869 was $1,730,000, and the average annual increase $346,000, which would make the amount for the present burdget $3,525,000, They could, he estimated, deduct $400,000 for buildings and sites and otherwise reduce the amount, and that by making the total $2,500,000 there would be @ saving of $1,000,000, and thar with that there wonld be required a great deal of cireum- spection and economy Lo carry them through, Commissioner SANps opposed the amendment offered by Mr. Gross, and referred to the report offered by the special committee of five, which lad been appointed to devise means of retreachiment. Commissioner LATREMORE, On the floor, endorsed tne amendment offered i% Commissioner Gross, and ailuded strongly to the necessity of having sume provision for the purchase of sites and crection of new schools. He alluded tothe roport referred to by Mr. Sands, in which it was stated that there are some 3,900 seats vacant in the schooia. This, he said, was founded on the average attendance amounting to 90,000, but to obtain this aver- age there must have been an actual attendance of 125,009 pupils, and for that number it was necessary to provide accommodation, He wished to have provision made for the building of schools on sites already purchased snd paid ft and which would otherwise necessarily remain idic. He alluded to the fact that the principal argument which had repeaiedly been urged against the oid board was that they did not provide accommoda- tion enough, and he hoped that Mr. Gross’ amena- ment would prevail, althougit he feared that before the end of the year the Board would tnd iselt be- hind in the means necessary to carry on the Work. Where the vacant seats were, he said, the report did state, but he did not wish to have cmidren living in the upper end of the islaod obiiged to go down to the schools tn the lower wards, or vice ve Commissioner Woop agreed with Mr, Larremore in that it would not be just to expect a child from ‘Yubby_ Hook to go to the First Ward to school, nor for a child trom down town to go up to Tubby Took. lie did not think, however, that there was any ab- solute necessity for new schools, and that where the schools were overcrowded the surplus of pupiis should be made to form into some of the schvois close by. He instanced one school where the entire upper part of the building wogvacant, while a school buta few blocks distant was crowded to repletion. Hie thougnt they should not provide schools for ostentation of any particular localtty, but fo accommodation of the pubiic. The question of Mr, Gross’ amendment was them put, and Messrs. Wood and Sands tad voted in the amrmative when the president (Mr. Larremore), knowing that they were evidently voting tuongat- lessly, reminded them of the fact t twas on Mir Gross’ amendment they were voting, when they hur- riedly eried out “No, no.’ The amendment was lost, and the question recuring on tie report of the finance committee it was adopted, and the Loard shortly afterwards adjourned, “AVAL INTELLIQENSE.

This veteran journalist and politician died at his residence, in Washington, yesterday morning, in the eighty-tirst year of his age. Although he never obtained a more prominent position under the gov- ernment than that of Postmaster Genera! it ts doubt- ful if there was a better known public man tm the United States, HIS EARLY LIPS. Mr, Kendall was born in Dunstable, Mas#., on the 16th of August, 1789, His father, a farmer, in moderate circumstances, conid not afford to dis- pense with his services, so tint he received nis edu- cation at intervals of time while laboring on the farm. At the academics of New Ipswich and Groton he received such instruction as could be aiforded, and his leisure moments at home were devoted to study. In this y he” learned a great deal; s0 much, indeed, that when ne had reached his sixteenth year he was able to leave his father’s employment and cw teach school at North Reading, By dinvof rigid economy he sneceeded in saving a part of the money thas obtamed, carefully laylag tt aside for the purpose of devoting it to tho clicrished purpose of receiving a collegiate education, At leagt—in iso7—he found himself possessed of a sufiiciency to defray the expenses, and he accordingly entere¢ Dartmouth College, from whence, m 1811, he graduated with high bonors, at the head of 3 class, ‘Wis exibition of prodvieacy will appear all the more voumendable when it 13 remembered (that during iis term he was absent ularge portion of the time froin colle, engaged in teaching school, After lus graduatl Mr. Kendall entered the taw ofilee of W. L. Richard So, attorney, ul Groten, aud subsequently Chief Justice of Hampsivere. At the end of threo years (1814) he Was admitted to the bur, and some months later visited Was'ington, tor purpose of ascerialuing the prospect witch was pieseated im vhat city for a young iawyer.
