(From the St. Thomas Times, June 7.) The arrival on Sunday night of the Cunard Screwship Delta, Captain Houx- TeR, from Halifax and Bermuda, brings dutes from New York to the 23rd, Bos ton the 24th, and Halifax the 26th Mav. By the intellizeunce received, the news is coufirmed of the capture of Jerr. Davis and maby of his associates. At last intel lizence he had been sent to Fortress Monroe, where he will continue most likely during the residue of hisimprison ment. ALEXANDER STEPHENS, late Vice- President has been sent to Fort Warren (Boston.) The trial of those charged with the murder of Mr. LixcoLN conti nues at Washiogton, and it is said that the Government every day continues in the receipt of further evidence implicating those who have been charged with the guilt of that disgraceful act. President JounsoN has issued a very important Pro clamation, declaring all the Southern ports, excepting those in Texas, open 1o Foreigu commerce. He declares as Pi rates all who may be found afier the Ist July next in arms agaionst the United States. Secretary Skwarp is sufficiently recovered to be present at Cabinet meet ings. His son is now enabled to read the newspapers. The ram Stonewall is sard to have lLeen placed in charge of the Captain General of Cuba. e S T A3 American. (From the New York World, May 23.) By the President of the United States of America, A PROCLAMATION. Whereas,—By the proclamation of the President of the 11th day ot April last certain ports of the United States thercin specified, which had previously been sub jeet to blockade, were, for objects of pub lic safety, declared, in conformity with previous special legislation of Congress, to be closed against foreign commerce during the national will, to be therealter expressed and made known by the Presi dent; and, whereas, events and circum stances have since occurred, which in my judgment renders it expedient to remove that restriction, except as to the ports of Galveston, La Salle, Brazos de Santiago, Point Isabel, and Bronsville, in the State of Texas; Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew Johnson, President of the Üboited States, do hereby declare that the ports aforesaid, not excepted as above, shall be open to foreign commerce from and after the first day of July next; that commercial interconrse with the said ports may, from that time, be carried on subiect to thelaws of the United States, and in par guance of such regulations as may be pre geribed by the Secretary of the Treasury. If, however, any vessel from a foreign port shall enter any of the before-named excepted ports in the State of Texas, she will continue to be held liable to the ‘penalties prescribed by the act of Con gress, approved on the 13th day of July, 1861, and the persons on board of her, to such penalties as may be incurre:d pursu ant to the laws of war for trading or at tempting to trade with an enemy and I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do hercby declare and make known that the United States of America do henceforth disavow to all persons trading or attempting to trade in any port of the United States, in violation of the laws -thereof, all pretence of belligerent rights and privileges; and T give notice, from ~the d‘:\te of this proclamation, all such of- $Te CROALE AV Se fenders will be held and dealt with as pirates. It is also ordered that all re strictions upon trade heretofore imposed in the territory of the United States east of the Mississippi river, save those rela ting to contrabund of war, to the reserva ton of the rizis of the United States, to property purchased in the territory of an enemy, and to the twenty-five per cent, upon purchases ot cotton, are removed. All provisions of the Internal Revenue law will be carried into effect under the proper officer. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my haud and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this twenty-second day of May, io the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun dred and sixty-five, and of the indepen dence of the Uuited States of Awerica the eighty-ninth. ANDREW JOHNSON. By the President W. Hunter, Acting Secretary of State. The White House was vacated to-day by all of the family of the late President Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln, accompanied by her two sons, left in the evening western train direct for Chicago, where the fani ly will take up their residence for the preseut. General Sherman, accompanied by his brother, tool a walk down Pennsyivania avenue this afternoon, where he was re cognized by hundreds of people, who fol lowed and lustily cheered him. The crowd became so large, and the enthusiasm so great, that on reaching the telegraph building the gercral was forced to take a carriage, but the impatient crowd would not let him be driven off until he had shaken hand with about fiity. Iv is said that General Sheridan was instructed to destioy and lay waste eve rything in his path, daring his intended Texan campaign, if the rebels persist in resistance after receiving fair notice. Secretary Seward was at the State De partment again this morning, for a shorg time, attending to his official duties. Ire derick Seward continues to improve, and is now able to read the newspapers. Major-General Sheridan left last eve ning for New York, en route to his new command, which includes all the armies west of the Mississippi. General Canby’s commeand has been enlarged, and the de partment of which General Bauks had command submerged within it, thus re lieving Geuneral Banks, who reports here to the Adjutant-General. Fortress Mouroe, Friday, May 19. Jefferson Davis, late of the so-called southern confederacy, with his family, staff-officers, &c., captured by a portion of Gen. Wilsons command, in Georgia, arrived here to-day at 12 o'clock from Hilton Head, S. C. in the steamer Wm. H. Clvde, conveyed by the United States gunboat Tuscarora, Commodore Fraley, Colonel Pritehard, of the Michigan caval ry, who made the capture of the import ant prisoners, with a sirong guard of his “men accompanied the rebel party on the steamer Clydenorthward to this place, and on reaching here immediately telegraph ed to Washington for instractions regard ing the disposal of his eharge. At this writing, such is the strict secre cy observed, not only as to the presence of the prisoners, but also as to their fu ture movements, that it is impossible to form even an opinion regarding the in tention of the government. The steamer Clyde still remains out more than three miles from here, seemingly anchored, and Colonel Pritchard is probably the only one who has as yet come ashore from her. The gunhoat Tuscarora anchored in the Roads about 2 o’clock this after noon, but nothing can be gleaned from her officers in relation to the party on the Clyde. Rumors have been continually flying about this afternoon, to the effect that the steamer Clyde ran in along close to the beach about 4 o’clock this afternoon, and landed Davis and bis party on the beach, about one miie from the fort, and from there were marched into the sallyport of the watery battery, in order to escape the gaze of the curious. Four o'clock, P. M.—The steamer Clyde just has dropped her anchov in the Roads, and therenow seems no doubt but that Jefferson Davis must have been landed somewhere alone the beich. No commu nication whatever is allowed with the steamer, and it is more than probable that the larger portion of the party still remain on board. The officer in charge awaits the instructicns from Washington. About a week since Colonel Brewer ton, of the Engineer corps, received or ders by telegraph fiomm Major-General Bernard to immediately have vacated a room of casemate inside the fort for the accommodation of prisoners of state. The work on the casemates, transferring them into cells, for which they are admirably adapted was at once commenced. The work has progressed very fast, and the casemates, which once communicated one into another, are now hermetically scaled by walls of bricks. Strong iron bars, and other substantial arrangements of a simi lar material inclose the windows and doors complete, rendering futile any at tempt of escape or rescue. A wide moat encircles the fort, and strong guards of sentineis will be posted in the immediate vicinity of the casemates. Every device which precaution and a desire to meet the wishes of the government and people should stggest will assuredly be adopted, to insure still further the close custody of the most impoitant prisoners captured since the war begun.—lbid. Baltimore, Saturday, May 20. A letter from on board the Tuscarora to the Baltimore American says: “The party we have consists of Jefferson Davis, his wife, a small son, and two daugh ters, together with Alexander H. Ste phens, C. C. Clay, Colonel Wm. Reagan, General Wheeler, the rebel raider, and fifteen or sixteen others, whose names I have not ascertained.” 'The letter con cludes by saying. ¢“We leave for the Potomac in a few hours.”—llbid. Washington, May 21. The detention of Jeff. Davis at Fortress Monroc isin the expectation that some time will elapse before all the evidence of his complicity in the assassination con spiracy is coilected. He will, in all pro bability, be indicted for treason by the grand jury sitting at Alexandria.—lbid. o From the Boston Morning Journal, May 24.) Fortress Monroe, May 22. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the steamer Silas O. Peirce left Baltimore wharf at this place with; Brevet Major General Miles, acco %by other officers of promine" rogeeded immediately to the steanjer Clyde at\anchor in the .stream with Jeff Davis an¢ the remainder of the rebel party “of board.

was allowed to the departing rebels to take a long farewell of their friends and dcar ones. The harbor, which is usually crowded with all kinds and classes of vessels, to-day looked almost deserted. Scarcely a dozen sail could be counted, and they seemed listless. Colonel Ro berts, the commandast at Fortress Mon roe, perceiving the absolute necessity of maintaining strict diseipiine, in conturm ity with the wishes of the government that the transterment of the rebel party to the fortress should be conducted as quietly as possilte, very early in the morning stationed guards in the vicinity of the casemates w herein are the cells in tended for the incarceration of the prison ers, and also along the various paths and rontes they would be obliged to traverse while en route to the fortress. In a short time after the steamer rexched the wharf —the prizoners began to land. No person was allowed to approach the wharf where the prisoners landed excep! ata distance of over 500 yards., As the prisoners marched uap the wharf, preceded by a guard of their cap tors, the tall, spare frame of Jest Davis, dressed in gray clothes and wearing a light felt hat, could be easily discerned. As soon as the prisoners were all on ghore they were marched up along the beach to the sally port of the water bat tery in the rear ot the fortress and thence to their cells in the second tire of case mates. Clement C. Clay accompanied Jeff. Davis toside the fortress. Mrs. Da vis and her four children and the wife of Clement C. Clay remain on board the steamer Clyde, and it is thought they will be sent South this evening, as orders have been recrived from the War De partment prohibiting them from going North. The parting between Davis and his family is described asextremely affecting, during which the feelings of the once ambitious and desperate rebel leader were completely overcome. Major-General Halleck has been here during the past three days superintend ing the arrangements made {or the con finement of the rebel prisoners. Strin gent orders in relation to visiting the Fortress have been issued, andall civilians are prohibited from entering, unless duly provided with a pass from Gen. Halleck. Fromthe Halifax Morning Chronicle, May 25.) Boston, May 24, p-m. Steamship As7a, which sailed for Li -verpool to-day, took two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in specie. Alexander H. Stephens, late rebel Vice President, is to be imvnrisoned in Fort Warren. A waggon foad of specie, amounting to £243,000, has been found in the woods near where Jeff Davis was captured. Gold closed firm and active at 134. New York, May 24. The review of a portion of the Army of the Potomac took place yesterday. The troops marched company front up Pennsylvania Avenue, passing in review before the President. ‘T'he troops num bered about seventy-five thousand. Sherman’s army isbeing reviewed to-day. Jeff. Davis was transferred yesterday from the steamer Clyde to one of the cusements of Fortress Monroe.

CROLX AV S A French paper, De Phare de la Loire, of Nantes, which appeared in moarning when it published the news of Mr. Lin coln’s murder, now suggests that a peuny subscription shoald be collected for the purpose of presenting to Mrs. Lincoln a gold medal, bearing the following inscrip tion: “Liberty, Iquality, Fraternity. To Lincoln, twice elected President of the Uunited States. French Democracy, grateful. Lincoln, the honest man, abo- Jished slavery, re-established the Union, saved the republie, without veiling the statue of liberty. He was assassinated on the 14th of April, 1865.” (From the Bermuda Advocate, May 31.) Only SB,OOO in specie have yet been dizcovered among Jeff. Davis’s effeets; but several boxes have not yet been ex amined. On the person of Reagan, his postmaster genera!, however, there were svized papers showing a large amount of specie shipped for London. More important evidence was given at the trial of the assassins on Saturday. Two letters, in cipher, found in Booth’s trunk, and the key to them, were pro duced. 'The testimony of the most im portant witness was, for the present, suppressed. Five tons of the archives of the late Confederacy, captured recently by our men at Charlotte, N. C, reached Fortress Monroe on Friday evening. They were immediately sent to Washington. On Saturday evening the Masons wel comed R. W. Albert G. Mackey, a Union Mason from Charleston, at the Academy of Music. There was a great crowd, a fine concert and speeches. Another sale of captured cotton, on Government account, took place in New York city recently, at which 4,900 bales were sold, at from 34 to 48 cents per pound, realizing the sum of $985,635. Clement C. Clay was not captured with Davig, but surrendered himself to our forces to stand his trial on the charge of being implicated in the assassination of President Lircoln. New York, May 25, pm. The Tribune’s despatch from Washing ton savs the assassins’ trial was adjourn cd to allow the Government time to ex amine rebel documents forwarded to the War Department, from which important testimony, it is believed, will be adduced. The trial was resumed to-day. New York, May 25.—Advices from Havana to May 20th, report that the re bel pirate Stonewall has been placed in the hands of the Captain-General ¢f Cuba as a deposit, and her officers and crew paid off and sent ashore. In speaking of the Mexican filibuster ing schemr, a Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia enquirer says: “As soon as the emigrants reach Sono ra Jaurez will issue a proclamation de claring them citizens of Mexico. This will allow them to vote at the coming election for Ortega, who will doubtless be the next President of Mexico. Mexico will be ceded to the United States. Answer to Revd. Dubois’ communications re garding the Country schools in St. Croix. (see Minority Report, May 1865.) [Continued.] Comparisons of our schools to others, which enjoy far greater advantages, and in particular to schools in the english islands, if made, as it is done in the report of the Minority, are quite out of the place, and tend to hide the truth. The assertion that the children in-the english islands generally -do met enter school -befora they are eight years old, is not correct. The writer shows that hie is not wel! informed about the schools in those islands, else he would know, that there are many infant sckools, which the children enter at the age of four years, so that when with seven or eight years they enter the juvenile, or mixed schools, they have already laid a good foundation for reading. The infant schools are a great help, but children enter also the mixed schools at the age of six.. That ge nerally speaking, the schools in the english islands suffer from want of books, schoolhouses, funds, efe. is somewhat new to me, and as re gards books, astonishing too. IHowever, if we’ could turn six of our splendid Zarge schoolhouses. each'into two smaller and very common wooden ones, and have in each a teacher, with half as many children, we would turn out many more readers; T hope. If the bishop of Antigua has not said that “if his schools did not turd out fifty per cent good readers, he would close them at once”—he had at least every reason to say so. And is it any thing great, if seventy five per cent of the scholars in Barbadoes can, “at the age of tem years, read tolerably any average passage from the New testament In Sept. 1864, not only seventy five, but hun dred per cent, or el the children at Easthill and La Valide, who were ten years old, (with the exception of one boy who had entered when nine years old) and many more uxder ten years, could read well any part of the bible, or larger reading boolk, and consequently more than those average passage-readers; and have these chil dren at Fasthill and La Vallée had as much schooling as those in Barbadoes, even during the same number of years? ‘We may also be allowed to ask, whether the latter can write as well as our readers. It appears then, that at least in the way of reading, in two of our Coun try schools, more is effected, and in less time, than in those at Barbidoes; there must be a reason for it, and what is it ?—But why ecan we not say as much of the other six schools To reason according to the writer of the Mino rity report, we might ask are the other school houses not as good, nay even greater? Are there not the same schoolbooks, lessonboards, ete? “Isnot the same language taught there, to the same race and class of people Nay, do not the teachers follow the same plan of teaching? Tvery one can easily find out the answer, and learn something from it. These two schools have simply the advantage of not being overcrowded, but they also want an ex tension of the schooltime, and better attendance to make sure of the hundred per Cent in Sept., for times are not equally favourable; but that even now these children learn more, during the same number of years, than the chiidren in Bar badoes, who have more schooling daily, and much better monitors, also pupil-teachers nay, and the good old spelling system, is proof enough, that our way of teaching is not quite bad after all! and in addition, their children are not taught hy rote. But let me be short: If those evils which we complain of “do not account satisfactorily fer “the great deficiency apparent in the resuits of “our schools,” if the phonetic system is entirely the cause, that we are so much behind the peo ple in the english islands, then let us settle the business fairly, let us -have every thing just as they have it; viz 1,) “The good old path” or the old spelling system but also what follows, this is the condition 2,) School in the fore and aftérnoon, at least five hours daily, for the same children. One hour for lunch and recreation. 3,) School attendance to the fourteenth, or fif teenth year of the children’s age, from their sixth, or seventh year. e 4,) In proportion to the number of schools in Antigua, let us have at least twenty more Country schools, and in addition some iz/ant schools, When in this way we shall bave heen brought somewhat to a level with the people in the en glish islands, as regards the means of education, then I shall have no objection to a comparison, even not, if we were to retain the phonetic sys tem. lln fact, I would say, let us first try to g 0 on without the old system, for we should be allowed to give the other yet a fairer trial. The lengthy remarks in the Minority report, on the phonetic aystem, hardly deserves, any

Page 4

réply the writer strives Lard to prove what longohas been disproved, and he is not in want of bold assertions. It is rather amusing to see with what ease and dispatch he “disposes” of my witnesses in favour of the phonetic system, sod how he proves that his witnesses are un biassed and competent judges. I need not to mention the particular position of two of these teachers with regard to the country schools, I willoaly say, no man can expect that they should spesk against the system which they now prac tice, and every one will readily believe that their meighbour, the Rector of St. Paul’s, ex ercises so much influence over them, as to make them furnisk him with the letters which have been copied, and which alone show that the writers, are but poer judges. One has not practic ed the system at all, another has tampered with it, and the third, who begun exceedingly well, suffered his mind to be turned by a staunch ep ponent to the system.—As regards the teachers, whose reports I have inserted, I need noi eon tend about what they have said, or written, for facts speak louder than words. If Mr. Baily has spoken against the phonetic system, as we are told, then his 7S readers bear sufficient tes timony in favour of it. Mr. Wispetall's case plainly shows, that in the beginning no teacher was compelied to adopt the phonetic system we gave it a fair trial, and every teacher was particularly requested to state his opinion, as well as his experience, freely and swncerely. Now, a3 every beginning is hard, it is but natu yzl, that those who made the trial would meet with diffculties, which resulted merely from want of experience, when nevertheless the tes tfmonies of the teachers were generally quite favourable, and the results likewise, we adopted the system, and tried to improve, as we do to this day.—Mr. Wispetall's assertion, that under the old system he always averaged about 45 good readers; in Mt. Victory’s school, strongly yeminds me of the fact, that there is a great variety of good readers I could tell remarka ble stories about it, which refer to the time wher we followed the old systern at that time we were accused that our children were taught to read with the book turned upside down, for they were seen reading in that way. At that time the teacher himself chose the portion which the children were to read in the exami mation, we did not trouble His Excellency the Govwernor,. or any other official, o point out gieee' among those pieces which the childrer ave not yet read, as we do now but the dif ference is very great.
