The schools have been closed for the Holidays, and will reopen in or about the 4th prox. The attendance during the month compares favorably with the preceding months. There are several places in this division where assistance by the Bureau is needed in the matter of education, and it is hoped that notwithstanding the operations of the Bureau have ceased, that as the wants of the County are developed, that provision will be made to assist the colored people in this section, in building school houses, and furthering the cause of Education.

I am, Captain,
Very Respectfully
Your Obt. Servt.
