EDITOR :-All eyes have been turn ed to the Army of the Cumberland. The late success of its arms have been fully detailed to the loyal millions of anxious friends at home. Now that the smoke of battle is lifted, and we have rested our weary jaunted limbs, we gather around our camp-fires and recount the struggles and incidents of the memorable past. The 2d, Divis ion, 12th Corps, in connection with a portion of Gen. Thomas' command from Chattanooga, took . possession of Lookout Valley, about the latter part of October, and closed up to the foot of Lookout Mountain. This move ment, as will be remembered, opened communications to Chattanooga, or within three miles of that place, and relieved the army from a long and circuitous transportation. The rebels in vain, attempted to wrest it back a gain, culminating in a desperate night attack and repulse, on Gen. Goary's Division, on the 28th of October. The 11th Corps erne to our assistance and the rebels retreated to theirmountain stronghold. The taking of Lookout Mountain on the 24th Nov.,-will stand prominent on the pages of the history of this war; and with it stands insepa rably, the "White Star" Division. The slow, steady, and difficult charge up the rugged sides of that stupendous and seeming invincible stronghold of rebel prowess; contested step by step, by a rebel force fully equal in num bers to that of the attacking party, can only find its parallel -in the gran dest charges of this war. The Divis ion was supported by other troops, only, when it had gained a point on the south east side which caused the enemy to abandon the mountain. Lookout ours ! Yes, and all the army 10 111 euibuinelljen followed Missionary Ridge on the 25th Onward we pressed the broken and retreating - o°lmila of frightened reb cls. Prisoners in every direction pas sed us; captured cannon, caissons and wagons. we met in our pursuit, while the usual rout of an army was vi sable at every step. On the 27th we en countered the enemy's left, strongly fortified at Ringgold, Ga., where they were posted on Taylor's Ridge, and holding a gap through it. The Di vision lost severely in this action, and we mourn the loss of some of the bra vest spirits, that ever gave up their lives for our struggling country. Thu. ridge was taken after three hears des pertlte fighting. Some miles beyond this ridge the pursuit ended, and we returned to our old camps where we had left all our baggage. Found ev erything all right. As we had the extreme right of our line, little could be gathered from the left and centre, excepting the thunder of artillery and incessant roar of musketry, keeping pace with our column on the right. The western troops who viewed us, from the "Army of the Potomac," with considerable contempt, have ex pressed more liberal and friendly o pinions of us, and really lavish high enconiams on the 11th and 12th corps. We don't find Lee to pit against us here. The country bordering on Georgia, is not fertile. The Tennessee river runs very winding.through the broken and irregular ranges of this mountainous region. Many oldie residents here are very loyal to our cause, and are of the true Brownlow stamp. The Penna. Regiments in this army were honored by the visit of a Corn ' mission sent by the Goverrjor, to loOk after the wants and welfare of Penna. troops. The party were composed of Drs. King and Franklin and Mr. Fran cis, ex Senator from Lawrence co. Af ter glowing speeches from each,--and one from our old commander, Gen. Geary, the regiments gave them three cheers, and felt honored to receive them from their old State. At this time great activity is going on in re-enlistments of Veteran Vol unteers. Whole regiments have re enlisted and are about to start to Pa. to recruit up, and take advantage of -the furlough and bounty offered them by the Government. To morrow the 29th P. V., starts—others are nearly ready. Scarcely a I . o.4lment in this Division but will take the offer, and return in a body to their respective States—op 30 day's furlough. Now is the 'time for the good and patriotic citizens of our county (Hunt ingdon) to show their benevolence and appreciation of the veteran soldier. Besides the usual government hount7. HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 80, 1803. let our people add $2OO or $3OO more to it and give that amount to each veteran soldier who re-enlists. The old soldier does not want to be bought. The money is not so much an object to him, as the appreciation shown for his services. The effect of such a movement would be magical, and al most all the old, tried, and faithful sol- diers of Penna., would,. by Spring time be again ready for the field. How much more prudent and saving it would be to all at home, in the end ? Instead of lavishing extravagant boun• ties on new and untried volunteers,— (who before they become innured to the hardships of soldiers' life, waste ono half of their numbers away by sickness and other causes,) offer a lib eral bonus to the veteran, and our or ganizations remain unimpaired, in the field. Now is the time to act, if you will save a draft; if you will do a cred it to your State, and to the faithful boys who have withstood all that man can endure. Show an appreciation of their services. Keep up the organ ized regiments as they are, and ono more Summer will witness the final and lasting blow to the great Southern Rebellion. Paus. The Diseases and Infirmities Exemp ting From Draft. WAR DEPARTMENT, PROVOST MARSHAL GEN.'S OrricE, WAsiumaTos, Nov. 9, 1863. JI CIRCULAR No. 100.—Paragraph eighty-five of the regulation for the government of the buronu of the Pro vost Marshal General of the Unitod States, is amended to read as lollows: 85. The following diseases and in- firmities are those which disqualify for military service and for which only drafted mon aro to be "rejected as physically or mentally unfit for the service," viz : 1. Manifest imbecility. 2. Insanity. This includes well os tablished recent insanity,.with liability to recurrence. 3. For this disability the statement of the drafted man is not sufficient, and the fitet must be estalffished by the duly- attested affidavit of -a_ ois,.sietr i s, in good standing who has attended him in the disease within the six months immediately preceding his ex amination by the board. 4. Paralysis; general, or of one limb, or choreas, their existence to he ade quately determined. Decided atro phy of a limb. 5. Acute or organic diseases of the brain or spinal cord ; of the heart or lungs; of the liver or spleen; of the kidneys or bladder, which have so se riously impaired his general health as to leave no doubt of the man's inca pacity for military service. G. Confirmed consumption. Incipi ent consumption does not exempt. 7. Cancer; aneurism of the large a.r teries 8. Inveterate and extensive disease of the skin, sub as will necessarily impair his efficiency as a soldier. 9. Decided feebleness of constitution, or deficient size of chest, sufficient in degree to leave no doubt of the man's unfitness for military service. 10. Scrofula, or constitutional syph ilis, which has so seriously impaired his general health, as to leave no doubt of the man's incapacity for military service. IL Habitual and confirmed intern peranco, or solitary vice, which has so materially enfeebled the constitution as to leave no doubt of the man's in capacity for military service. 12. Chronic rheumatism, unless man. ifested by positive change of structure, or wasting of the affected limb, or puff ness, or distortion of tho joints, does not exempt. Impaired motion of the joints.and contraction of the limbs al leged to arise from rheumatism, and in which the nutrition of the limbs is not manifestly impaired, are to be proved by examination, while in a state of anthesia induced by other on• ly. 13. Pain, whether simulating head ache neuralgia in any of its forms, rheumatism, lumbago, or affection of the muscles, joints or bones, is a symp tom of diseaso so easily pretended, that it is not to bo admitted as a cause of exemption, unless accompanied with manifest derangement of the gen eral health, wasting of a limb, or oth er positive sign of disqualifying local disease- 14. Great injuries, or diseases of the skull, occasioning impairment of the intellectual faculties, epilepsy, or other manifest nervous or spasmodic symptoms. 15. Total loss of sight; total loss of sight of light eye; cataract of right oyo; loss of crystalino lons of right eye. 16. Partial loss of sight of both eyes, vision being so greatly impaired as to leave no doubt of the man's ina bility to perform military duty. fl e -PERSEVERE.- rious permanent disease of the eye or eyelids, so manifestly affecting the use of the eyes, as to leave no doubt of the man's incapacity for military service. Nearsightedness does not exempt; if found on trial to be so de cided as to incapacitate for field ser vice, the man may be transferred to the invalid corps. 17. Total loss of nose; deformity of nose so great as seriously to obstruct respiration; ozaena, dependent on car ies in progress. 18. Decided deafness. This disa bility must not be admitted on the mere statement of the drafted man, but must be proved by the existence of positive disease:or by other satis factory evidence; and it must be so decided as to leave no doubt of the man's unfitness for military service. Chronic purulent otorrhcea. 17. Incurable diseases or deformi ties of either jaw, such as will-necessa rily greatly impede mastication or speech. Anychlosis of the lower jaw; caries of the bone of the face, if in progress; cleft palate (bony;) exten sive loss of substance of the cheeks, or salivary fistula. 20. Dumbness; permanent loss of voice; not to be admitted without clear and satisfactory proof. 21. Total loss of tongue; hypertro phy, atrophy, mutilation, or obstinate chronic ulceration of the tongue, ifauf ficient in degree to interfere seriously with the use of the organ. 22. Stammering,_ftexcessi.vo .and_ confirmed; to be established by satis fa.ctory evidence under oath. 23. Loss of a gait:lent number of teeth to prevent mastication of food. This applies to those cases only where the loss of teeth is so great that, if the man was restricted to solid food, he would soon become incapacitated for military service. 24. Tumors or wounds of the neck impeding respiration or deglutition; fistula of larynx or trachea; toriticol lie, if of long standing, and well mar ked. 25. Deformity of the chest, or ex cessive curvature of the spine, suffi cient to precept the cerrLing, of arms = anTlitilitarrequiptrretrta; caries of the spine, ribs, or sternum. 26. Abdomen grossly protuberant; excessive obesity. 27. Hernia. 28. Artificial anus; stricture of the rectum; prolapsus ani. Fistula in ono is not a positive disqualification, but may be so, if extensive or complicated with visceral disease.. 29. Old and ulcerated internal hem orrhoids, if in degree sufficient to im pair the man's efficiency. External hemorrhoids are no cause for exemp tion. 30. Total loss or nearly total loss of penis, opispadia or hypospailia at the midate or eeer tho root of the po 31. Incurable permanent organic stricture of the uretha, in which urine is passed drop by drop, or which is complicated by disease of the bladder; urinary fistula. Recent or spasmodic stricture of the uretha does not ex empt. 32. Incontinence of urine, being a disease frequently feigned, and of rare occurrence, is not of itself a cause for exemption. Stone in the bladder, as certained by the introduction of the motalie cathacter,is a pasitive disquali fication. 33. Loss or complete atrophy of both testicles from any cause; perma nent retention of one or both testicles within the inguinal canal; but volun tary retraction does not exempt. 34. Confirmed or malignant sarcoce lo ; hydrocele, if complicated with or ganic disease of the testicle. Warico cele is not in itself, disqualifying. 34. Loss of an arm, forearm, band, log, thigh or foot. 36. Wounds, muscular or cutaneous contractions from wounds or burns or tumors, which would prevent march ing, or otherwise manifestly incapaci tato the man for military service.- 37. Fractures, irreducible disloca tions or anchylosis of the large joints chronic diseases of the joints or bones, that would prevent marching, or oth erwise unfit the man for military sor- BEI 38. Total loss of a thumb ; total loss of the index finger of the right hand Other permanent defects or deformi ties of the hands so decided as to leave no doubt of the man's insopaeity for military service. 39. Club feet, total loss of a great too. Other permanent defeCts or in formities of the feiit, such as will DOCOli sarily prevent marching. 40. Varicose veins of inferior extre mities,. if large and numerous, and ac companied with chronic swellings of ulcerations. 41. Chronic ulcero , r 0 ,21.1! ivo, deep, ut o tt r ., and adherent cicatrices of lower ex tremities. Surgeons of boards of enrollment in reporting the "statistics of the causes of exemption on account of physical debility," will hereafter, in addition to the alphabetical list of disabilities re quired by Circular No. 90 from this office, report the number rejected un der each paragraph of the above list of disqualifying infirmities JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. Volunteering and the Drafts HEADQUARTERS PA., MILITIA, 1 HARRISBURG, Dee. 10, 1863. J GENERAL ORDERS. / No. 48. Tho President of the United States having, by his communication of the gth'inst., in response to propositions submitted to him relating to the re cruiting service in Pennsyltania, un der his call of October 17th ultimo, for 300,000 men, approved of eo much thereof as is comprised under the fol lowing points: It is ordered— That the recruitment of Volunteers for the various regiments now _ in the Gold will be conducted accordingly, viz: 1. Details for recruiting service in the State, will be made of officers of Pennsylvania regiments in •the field, whose terms of service expire in 1864. 2. Whon practicable, old regiments will be returned to the State to bo re cruited. 3. The voluggers whn__ehall- be - efillefa'Tiiilremain under tho control of the Governor at such camps' or ren dezvous, and' under such commanders as he may designate, and until ready to be sent tr their regiments, in ac cordance with General Orders No. 75, of HU. 4. Premiums not exceeding twenty five dollars for veterans, and fifteen dollars for new recruits, will be paid to officers detailed for recruiting ser vice, from regiments in the field, when the recruits aro accepted by the Uni ted States. Payment to be made by Lt. Col. Bomford, U. S. A., Acting As sistant Provost Marshal General. 5. Volunteers furnished by cities or other localities will be* duly credited on the draft. fixed -for January 5, 1864; and also "all such volunteers as may -have been mustered into the— service of the United States, since the draft, the number so credited to be deducted from.the proportion of the quota as signed the State under recent call." Information regarding the quotas of counties, cities, townships and wards, can be procured on application to the respective District Provost Marshals. 6. - Authority will be given to offi cers detailed for recruiting service from - regiments in the field, to raise complete companies of infantry, to be sent to such regiments in the field as have less than their proper number of company organizations. 7. Colored volunteers for the col ored regiments of Pennsylvania, will be accepted as a part, of the quota, and also such as have been mustered into the service of' the United States since the draft, to be credited to cities or localities on their proportion of the State's quota under recent Call. 8. Camps of rendezvous will be es tablished at proper localities, in charge of commandants and skilful surgeons, to be appointed by the Governor. 9. To every recruit who is a Vete ran Volunteer, as defined in General Orders of the War Department of June 25, 1863, No. 191, for recruiting Veteran Volunteers, ono month's pay in advance, and a bounty and a pre mium of $402, and to all other recruits not veterans, accepted and enlisted as required in existing orders, one months pay in advance, and, in addition, a bounty and premium of $302 will be paid. The short time now remaining, within which to fill the quota of the State by enlistments, and thus ovoid the impending draft, admonishes the loyal citizens of' the importance of pro viding, by local bounties, the strong est inducements to volunteers. Au. nicipalities of other States, by . this moans, are sending from Pennsylva nia the able-bodied men who should replenish her own regiments. Penn sylvania, with a deficiency loss, pro portionately, than any adjacent Com monwealth, should show, by ,her promptness and alacrity, now, her a bility to maintain the high position she has heretofore, and still occupies among her sister States, in contribu ting to suppress this rebellion.

As a general rule, the teachers of our schools do too much, and the echo-. lars too little. That is, the "pouring in" method is too generally followed when there is any method at all. Classes are called, questions are asked and answered by , the teacher, the pupils only being required to repeat the answer after him, and generally in concert, so that there are often scho lars found in the class who n;ii'ver "open a mouth," and yet, unless an observer be very careful in judging of the mer its of the clasS, he will pronounce all the pupils in the.class as tieing tho same proficiency. By this method, a class can be made to appear well to a visitor, or the Board of Directors, or the County Superintendent; when they chance to be present, by simply taking a lesson which has been previously re cited. Answers and definitions may be thus learned, so that the class will remember them for a short time very well, but when the class goes 'on to something new, what iS past is forgot ten, like ,an old song. was only learned for the purpose of reciting,,and the reciting was done 'to please the teacher, or the visitor, who may-charm - el to have been present. . _ ' c ler may take the Geogra phy class and by pointing out and na ming, a few times over, the counties, States, towns, rivers, &c., the class will be able to follow him all over the maps; but when the class has not been prac ticed on the maps fora few days, they have forgotten almost all that they thus learned to point out. A Gram mar class can soon be taught in this way to give all the principal definitions, although they may never have seen a book. But stop the drill and in a few days the class will have forgotten all they bad learned on the subject. A superficial knowledge of History and many other branches' may bo learned in this way, but the knowlod r. . ',y' no sooner gained than it is forgotten. But, on the other hand lot the Geo graphy class take a short lesson and be required to locate the principal towns, rivers, lakes, &c., without any aid from the teacher, and they will be fixed on the memory, from the fact that they sought out and ascertained their localities for themselves.' They will feel as though they had visited those countries, and a place once visi ted can never be forgotten. In addi tion to this if the scholar be required to make a map of the country about which ho is studying, it will be so tho roughly riveted to the memory that time will not efface it. In this way he gets - Boos: Knowledge dlreetly, and by the 'pouring in" method indirectly, the teacher getting it first and then makes a transfer to the pupil. If the pupil has been required by his own exertion, as much as possible, to got out and recite his lessons he will try harder to remember what ho has gone over, for ho knows what it cost him, and all will admit that that which is most appreciated is that which cost us most. Then he will form habits of industry and learn to rely on his own exertions, and not be a mere boody, drinking in what every one would tell him. Demosthenes shut himself up in a cave that he might betake himself to his books, and Napoleon used to retire to the silent groves to read and medi tate. There is no royal road to learn itig any more than to wealth. He who would be in possession of either must work, and not sit and listen to vain babblers. Then, the place to learn thus to work is in the school-room.— Give oaoh scholar a duty to perform and have it done precisely as directed. Take no excuse for delinquency, and very so - on none will lie asked, - for all will know that what has been appoin ted to be done must be done. If this plan were more fully carried out, the rising generation would be more cele brated for industry than past genera tions, and knowledge would be more widely diffused. fter The following is a noble anti : meat and action related. of Themieto , cles, the Athenian general and states man, which speaks for him'a groat and disinterested soul: 11is daughter be ing asked of him In marriage, he pm ferred an honest poor, man to a rich one•of an indifferent, character; and gave for his reason, i'That in the choice of a son-in-law, be would much rather have merit without riches, than riches without merit?!-- ' . .
