Third Annual Report of tne Com
missioner of Common Schools.
From the last Annual Report of the
Commissioner of Common Schools, Wrn.
E. Harvkt, Esq., we extract the fol
lowing :
"Our school system appears now to be
fully in operation. The people are be
ginning to read the law, and understand
it; and those who do read it carefully,
are ne-rly unanimous in the opinion that
itn&e3 but little"amend eni to make it
all that is to be desired. Had it not been
lor defects in other laws that bear upon
our school system, a much more favorable
condition could be shown. For instance,
in the Revenue Law, which extended the
time for paying the School Taxes for
1860, until last fall, and under which lo
cal School taxes cannot be made availa
ble for something over a year and a half
after they are levied, and then, there
being no stringent provisions relative to
distress and sale for delinquent taxest
much of the tax remains unpaid, even
after the long credit given, and, again,
because there is not sufficient penalty,
provided by law for neglect of duty, those
county Treasurers who can make a prof
it out of the school funds in the purchase
of "seed wheat," or otherwise, cannot
be compelled, at the proper time to eith
er report the amounts collected, or to pay
it over to the proper orders.
In spite of all these defects and draw
backs our number of public schools, and
attendance thereon, has been much more
largely increased than I had reason to
hope for when my last report was made
to the Legislature, as will be seen by the
following:

It is estimated that the amount of in
terest and penalties upon delinquent tax
es will equal the amount of tax that can
not be collected, and which I deem a fair
estimate, providing the new Revenue
Bill, which is before the Legislature,
becomes a Law, of which there seem3 to
be a fair prospect ; and which provides, I
am-iiiformed, for the closing up of all
the taxes of previous years. If the
taxes are closed up the above estimate is
a fair one.
I have not in the above considered the
amount that can be realized from the
leasing of the school lands, though it
will amount to a respectable sum after
the first year. I cannot now make an
estimate that will be reliable, but sup
pose that $5,000 or 6,000 can be obtain
ed the first year."

Much indignation is expressed by the
rebel ofScers at the retreat of Pillow
and Floj'd. They are universally exe
crated by the whole rebel command es
pecially Floyd, who is denounced as a
Thief, a Runaway, and a Coward.
The rebel and federal officers frater
nize with the best of feelings.
The assertion made in regard to the
strong Union sentiment -pervading the
prisoners take here is much strengthen
enedby subsequent intercourse with them
The remark holds especially true of the
Tennessee Regiments.
The best officers among them are those
who only yielded to the popular madness
at the eleventh hour. They say they are
sick and tired of this unnatural warfare;
that they have been misled by the poli
ticians first, and betrayed by the Gen
erels afterward. They have become most
thoroughly disgusted with the bogus con
federacy, and desire to withdraw from it
at once.
General Grant is not idle after his vic
tory, and, with his accustomed energy,
is already arranging his command for
moving onward to still grester victories.
The Confederate officers confirm the
statement that Bowling Green is evacu
ated, and assert that General Johnston
will concentrate every available soldier
in hi3 commaud at Nashville, and make
a desperate attempt there to retrieve the
misfortunes of the past.
The examination of the enemys works
from the inside reveals even greater
strength than was apparent from our
lines. Their field works are immense,
extending five or six miles, and laid out
with much millitary skill.
Twenty five thousand men ought to
have held them against double their
strength.
The rebel surgeons with whom I have
conversed, place their loss in killed and
wounded in all the engagements about
the fort, at from 300 to 400 killed, and
double that number wounded.
Caiko, Feb. 18.
About four thousand of the Fort Don

Several hundred of our wounded camp

Major General. .
When Col. Craft's brigade, which had
been ordered tore-inforce Gen-McClsr-nand,
came up to the rear cf the Thir-'
tieth and Thirty-first Illinois, and ths
Twenty-fifth Kentcky, these regiments
were lying down, firing over thecrest of
the hill. They rose, not knowing whether
the force in their rear were friend3 cr
foes.
The Twenty-fifth Kentucky, supposed
them to be rebels, and poured en them a
volley which did terrible execution, and
wa3 sufficient to throw the entire brigade
into disorder, which at one time was al
most a panic. Some throwing down their
arms aud equipments, fled, and immedi
ately the woods were full of stragglers,
some even fled to Ft. Henry.
The enemy improved this opportunity
and advanced upon Schwartz and Dres
ser's batteries, capturing five guns, a-d
taking possession of Gen. McClernad'a
headquarters, driving our forces nearly
a mile and half- Instead, however, of
adhering to their original intentions to
escape, the rebels resolved to follow up
the advantage by pursuit. .."".'
At this juncture, Gen. Wallace's di
vision was thrown in front, and took a
position on a ridge, with Taylor's lat
tery in the center of he road. The reb
els formed on the rsdge which McC'er
nand ad occupied, and, flushed wr.h
success, moved forward.
As they came in range," Taylcr open

The rebels quailed, came to a halt, and
the infantry adanced began to fall bacr.
Geu. Wallace immediatately improving
the moment, moved on, drove the rebels
back, and recovered the ground previo3S

Cairo, Feb. 0, 1562.
The transport Erie and the gunboats,
which were sent to the Cumberland found
Clarksville pillaged and evacuated.
White flags were seen hoisted along the
river. The Provost Marshal at Clarks
ville sent word to Gen. Grant to ccma
and take possession of the place.
On Thursday, two regiments of rebel
troops from Bowling Green and Clarks
ville, came into Ft. Donelson, and gave
themselves up, saying that they hadbaea
deceived, and were tired of fighting the
old flag They thought Naihville would
be given up without a fight.

Itis not probab! ? that our army will

There is considerable talk of fortifying

Gen. Grant's Army
The Fort Dcnelscn Correspond en! cf
the Chicago Tribune, says :
"The . forces of General Grant had
been so hastily drawn together from.thV
"four quarters" of the Northwest, that
hardly any two regiments had ever met
before under the same brigade organiza
tion. They were in all, forty-one regi
ments of infantry, ten batteries of artil
lery, and some twenty companies of cav
alry (parts of four regiments engaged.)
This large force, numbering aboaf 33,0Cl,
men, (as before stated,) was divided into'
three divisions, each division into . three'
brigades, and to each brigade was at
tached a due proportion of artillery and
cavalry. ' '
