o make a living, were engaged in teaching little schools. The school in the basement of the Methodist Church, taught by Yankees, and attended by three hundred and fifty negro men, women, and children, was to be removed to the Baptist Church; which was repaired. There was no foundation for the report that Prof. F. M. Stevens was teaching the negro school at the Methodist Church. He had nothing to do with this dark institution of learning. The Yankees were constructing a railroad along Cherry to Jackson street, and the work was progressing rapidly. The negro draymen were loud in their complaints against this enterprise, saying that the Yankees were building the railroad just to cheat them out of their rights. There was a general stagnation of business, and no encouragement given to any department of trade by those in authority. Some of the citizens seemed to take this as an indication that the Yankees expected not to be able to hold the city long, though the fortifications

A paper was also Introduced, signed by Major Otey, purporting to be a descriptive list of said Farley, and a receipt for him from Col. J. C. Shields, Commandant of Conscripts.

outh by the introduction of Yankee teachers, Yankee school-books, and Yankee systems of teaching, from the days of the old Revolution to those of the present. If the proposed Convention will sweep them all away with the very besom of destruction they will have done golden service to the cause of education. More than forty years ago Thomas Jefferson complained of the "Yankee Latin" that had been introduced into our schools, to the almost total abrogation of the genuine Roman tongue in which Cicero and Hortensia spoke, and Horace and Virgil wrote. If the damage had stopped with the dead languages perhaps it might have been tolerated. But no man who knows anything of Yankee literature is ignorant of the havoc it has played with the English language itself. In fact, much the larger portion of it exists in what is not the English language, but a Yankee dialect full of all the idiomatic expressions, slang phrases, and provincial barbarisms that render it the most detestable jargon that

Some of the citizens seemed to take this as an indication that the Yankees expected not to be able to hold the city long, though the fortifications were being strengthened and extended. The houses of Capt James Cowan, Benj. Hardaway, and Mrs. Irvin, had been torn down to give place to fortifications.
