Major I Ikrman Hirsh.—This gentleman,
well known in this city daring the war as
an officer of the Confederate army, leaves Sa
vannah to-day. Major Hirsh, previous to the
hte struggle, was an officer in the United
states army, gaining that position during the
Mexican war. Having been stationed hi this
city for several years previous to that time,
he, on the secession of Georgia, placed him
self on the side of his adopted State, and ser ved
to the end of the contest. Since that time he
has occupied a position at the Gjulf Hoad; but
au afflicting dispensation of Providence, to
gether with the troubled condition of the
South, caused him to give up that position,
aud to-day he leaves for his native land;
Trassia, via New York, where he will prob
ably remain. His many friends will regfet
departure from our midst.

Fromthts report, we ascertain for the first
time, that over a year ago the Catholic citi
zens applied to the Board to have their,
schools taken charge of and made a part of
the: system of public education. To most
people this ^statement will be a complete
It would have been far better had it been
known, and the opinions of citizens, who are
directly and deeply interested, ascertained,
that the Board might act intelligently; on the
question, and not only in accordance with its'
own views, but also to please the people
whose representatives they are. If the Board,
by withholding its actions from the public
shows a want of confidence in the people, it
cannot but expect that want of confidence to
be returned.
The present Board of Education is admir
ably composed, and its members have proved
faithful conservators of a public trust; it has
adopted wise measures for the government
of the public schools, and under its manage
ment Savannah enjoys greater facilities for
public education than ever before. Still the
school system is not sufficiently extensive to
meet the demands of the public, and the
Board can only enlarge it when funds suffi
cient for that purpose are placed in their
hands by the representatives of the people—
the City Council. We feel assured that the
education of our youth is regarded by the
people as the most important of all public in
terests. They are not unwilling to contribute
the money necessary to make the public
school system complete; and had the Board
consulted them, allowed its operations
and necessities to be known, we feel
confident that our High Schools would
now he entirely free, and there wonld
be no complaint that the schools are
not sufficient to accommodate all the
children who apply for admission. Of the
administration of public school affairs the
people are kept in entire ignorance, save,
when once or twice during a year, when some
slight hint drops out, and is spread abroad.
It was never known that the Board had in
contemplation the establishment of High
Schools until they were in. operation; nor has
it ever been made public that the Armory
Hall building was turned over to it, by the
head of the Freedmen’s Bureau. In this en
lightened age the people like information
upon all subjects; and we think it would be
the part of wisdom to have the proceedings
of the Board of Education laid before me
public, as are the operations of all other pub
lic bodies. This is the course pursued
in other places, and in every instance
with success. The more that educational
matters are laid before the people, the greater
the interest that they will take in them, and
the more liberal will he their support of the
schools.
The Board expresses its readiness, when
provision is made to enable it to do so, to
make arrangements for the education of col
ored children. This is a matter of the most
vital importance to our people. It is a grave
question, and one of serious import to the
future prosperity of this country, whether
our people will allow the rising generation of
the colored population to grow up and con
tract the idle, dissolute and vagabondish
habits of the present generation; or leave
them to be subjected to the influences by
which they will be surrounded in Bureau
schools, aud establishments built and foster
ed by the people who are hostile to the best
interests of this community, and whose

The Ziffle Treasure, a very pretty petite com
edy, dosed the entertainment. Miss Thomp

which she is familiar to most of our readers,
she haying played that part on several previ
ous occasions here, and did it splendidly as
usual. She was ably supported by Miss Har
rison, Mrs. Cole, Miss Gilbert, Mr. Sutton
and others. Taken as a whole, the evening’s
entertainment was a very enjoyable one.
This evening the citizens’ complimentary
benefit to Miss Thompson takes place. On
this occasion she will appear as “Miss Dor-
rillon,” in Wives as they Were and Maids as
they Are, and as “Margery” in the Bough
Diamond, with Harrison as “Cousin Joe.”
This will be her last appearance this season.

their own hands, and by the adoption of wise
and beneficent measures, secure peace and
harmony between the races, and ensure the
future prosperity of the country. The Cath
olic school already established for the educa
tion of colored children is largely at
tended, and is working great good. It is'
not too late for the people to act in this
matter, and by proving themselves favora
ble to the education of the colored race
to become gcod and usefql members of the
community, break up the influence of the
mischief-making Bureau, and the hordes of
New England school-ma’ams and misters,
who are now engaged in laying the founda
tions for future trouble, by teaching the
colored people that the Southern whites are
their greatest enemies. It is no use to lie
idly by and say they aTe only niggers, and
never can be elevated. We do but encom
pass our own ruin. It is well to try the ex
periment of teaching them to become good,
quiet, honest and peaceable citizens, and by
the erection of public schools, withdraw the
rising generation from the fatal, blighting in
fluences hy which D,oodle-dom has snrroun led
them. In this way we can secure peace and
prosperity in the future. The next se(» on
of the Legislature should not be alloweu to
pass without some action being taken on this
subject; and, when means are provided for
the education of colored children, we want
to see education made compqlsory, as it al
ready is in some cities of this country.
A Bold Burglar Captured.—Early yes
terday morning,, a negro, with a villainous
countenance, climbed up to the second story
window of the residence of Mr. B. H. Hardee,
comer of Bull and Charlton streets. Finding
the window open, he jumped in, and entered
the sleeping apartment of Mr. B[ardee, where
he packed up that gentleman’ 8 clothing, pre
paratory to leaving with it. Considering this
booty insufficient to pay himrfor his trouble,
he went to the bed to search under the pil
lows, thinking that, perhaps, he might find a
watch. As he V’aa fqmbling around in the
dark, his hand accidentally came in contact
with Mrs. Hardee’s face, which caused her to
awake. She aroused Mr. Hardee, who in
stantly arose and made search for the in
truder. The negro, on alarming the’ occu-
of the room, had retreated to a small.
[-room connected with the apartment,
where he was captured. J He made no; re
sistance, and'did uat'attemRt to escape, but,
finding himself com ered, shqwed Mr. Hardee

That gentleman took him down to the Police

Back at Thondemsolt Park.—Owing to
a press of other matters upon our columns
we have neglected fPr a day or two, to notice
the race which is to come off at - Thunderbolt
Park, on Wednesday, afternoon next, under

The race will be between the three well
known horses, Mattie, Brick Pomeroy and
Lucv Long, mile beats, best three m five,
tohamess.for a purse of $250, $50 to ^sec

three horses was decided to have been won
by Lnoy Long; bqt considerable dissatisfac
tion was created by one of the heats being,
as was claimed by many, WTpngfolly adjndg-
list A rf
animals are all good on the trot, and have
many admirers. The track ought to be m
better condition than it was on the former
occasion, and, perhaps, even better time will
be made than before. The race will come off
at two o’clock in the afternoon. Urns allow
ing sufficient time, if the jndgesaet promptly,
to run all the heats, should it be
before darkness comes on. We presume the
race will attract a very large crowd of spec
tators, and that the ladies will come out in
force to witness the trial of speed,

damages.

condition. Yesterday, while on her way to
this city, she experieneed. a strong gale from

in his possession, for which he could not sat
