The Committee appaiotell by the Faculty of Wayuesiourg College, to be present and report on the exanfiffatiort of the classes in the Female Departmenf of ,ail Coflege, would respectfully submit the following re port : The Committee was present at the ex amination of all the classes, by the profess ors, after which the pupils were left in the lands of the Committee to examine them to ,their entire satisfaction. It affords the com mittee much pleasure to say that the exam ination was highly satistiictory, and very creditable to both professors and pupils.— We were much pleased with the mode of teaching, by which the pupils were trained to think, and thus to exercise their judg ment as well as their memory. The exam ination on the mathematical branches was very interesting, evincing the fact that the _scholars had been required to understand first principles, and to apply them with a prompt ness and maturity of judgment sel dom witnessed. Whilst it has been the soivilege of the Comrnitte to be often pres ent, at similar examinations, they feel warranted in saying, that the examination •on this occasion has seldom been equaled., and perhaps never excelled, by any they have witnessed. Your Committee would most cordially recommend Waynesburg Col lege as worthy the patronage of all who have _eons and daughters to be educated. Rev. JAMES SLOAN, D. D., Rev. P.

Sturgis joined the Cumberland Pres byterian Church on the 7th of February last, and was peculiarly favored with rich :manifestations of Divine love and favor.— Her faith was very strong, taking hold on God ; her heart and soul trust in the Savior seemed centplete. She not only rested in hope, but rejoiced in.prospect of "an eternal weight of glory," .and a joyous immortality. She exhorted .her friends in the way of heaven, and sung even in her dying hour these two precious hymns "I would not live always," and "What's this that steals, that steals upon my frame," &c. She delighted in communion with God, and while she was able., conducted family worship. Though her stay was short in the Church, she labored with her might, and I trust was successful in winning some to ( Christ, and confirming others in the faith of ; the gospel. May God take care of the three dear little ,children, console, bless and comfort the ,mourning husband, widowed mother, and friends of our glorified sister. B.

April ?MOO *LEN From FROM THE ARMY OF TILE POTOMAC!! Stirring News Expected—Active Op- erations at Hand. WASHINGTON, March 28,--Lieut. Gen. Grant arrived in this city yesterday an d was engaged in consultation with the President, Secretary of War and General Ilalleck last evening. He left for the Head i ers of the Army of Potom ae this morning. He has estai Aished his headvarters at Culpepper, eight miles in front of General Meade. TIFAIXE.T.IIITERS AI .111" OF TIIE 10T0- MA(2, Mardi 20.—Lieut. Gen. Grant, ac companied by Major General Meade, re viewed the first Army Corps, now a por tion of the Fifth, near Cnlppeper. While passing along the lines thay were greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers. Merrill's cavalry division was also re viewed, the whole presenting a fine ap pearance. The Second corps were to have been reviewed in the afternoon, but a heavy rain storm having set in it was postponed. Stirring news may be expected from this army soon. All the sick and woun ed have been removed to the rear, and activity once more prevail. Forrest's Force Moving or Columbus. CA11:0. March 27.—A dispatch from Columbus, Ky., says that Forrest and Faulkner are between that place and Mayfield. These forces are in a crip pled condition but their strength much greater than was first estimated. May field is filled with the rebel wounded, and from twelve to fifteen hundred are said to have arrived from Paducah.— , One regiment lost one hundred, and one company had fifty killed. The rebels were marching towards Clinton, from last account, and should they attack Columbus, they will receive a still warm Cr reception than at Paducah. The steamer Perry . / was fired into while passing Hickman, yesterday.— There is a large number of rebels in the town, and a great number of shots were fired, but nobody hurt. The steamer Graham brought up six hundred men .from New Madrid, who charged thwugh the town, but the reb els had fled. They belong to Faulkner's command. Three hundred rebels were killed at. Paducah and over one thousand wound ed, besides several citizens, who were killed dully* tb.e fight. The city is 0 nearly in ruins. Memphis dates of dike 25th report cot ton unchanged, and no inquiry. Hold ers manifest no disposition to sell. Good middling, 57c ; strictly middling, 56. The steamer Desarc was burned at Duvall's Bluff, White River, on the 23d, while lying at the levee. She had on board three hundred hales of cotton, most of which was destroyed. The boat was owned by Champion ck.-, Ogden and valued at sixty thousand dollars.— She was insured for twenty thousand dollars. John Kelly was arrested yesterday for passing counterfeit hundred-dollar Treas ury notes. A dispatch from Paducah says that the home guards surprised and captured Col. Croslan and seven of his guerrillas near Mayfield, Ky. Excitement in Kentucky. A private letter from Louisville says that the inhabitants of the interior are in a state of constant perplexity and fear. Rebel agents are said to over-run Ken tucky in all directions, increasing by false reports and perfidious insinuations the feverish anxiety prevailing every where. The idea that General Breckinridge is advancing upon the Kentucky line, with the intention of raising the country in insurrection, adds a great deal to the excitement of the people. A few days ago a rumor was spread that General Long street has sent away most of his artillery and wagons by railroad, and that he was marching upon Cumberland Gap at the head of thirty thousand men. NV hen this news reached Kentucky most of the farmers in Harland, Leteher, Knox, and other adjoining counties left their farms and took the way of Man chester. The idea of an invasion of the State by the rebels is now a fixed opin ion, and not an hour elapses without some rumors of their advance being cir culated among the inhabitants. A gentleman living in Monticello writes that most of the Kentucky dele gates representing the State to the rebel Congress at Richmond have and are ex citing the people to revolt. He said that before he left Monticello he was told by a secessionist that if he would come to a certain place where he pointed out to him, he would there see G. W. Trip let, of Louisville, who had just conic from Richmond in company of E. M. Bruce, G. W. Ewing, T. L. Barak, and other rebel Kentuckians. Tie was told that these gentlemen had come for the purpose of preparing the people for the approaching arrival of Breakinridge and Buckner. Forrest's Raid in Kentuoky. CAIRO, March 26.—Reports were cir culated here this morning ,that the rebels under Forrest attacked Paducah, Ky., 50 miles above here, yesterday, and burned part of the town ; but as tele graphic communication was cut off, no authentic inforMation could be obtained. The Steamer Tamil, from Nashville, passed Paducah at five o'clock this morning, The Joseph Pierce, which passed two hours later, brings the fol lowing account of the akair. Forrest, with an estimated force of five thousand men, captured the place at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and sacked and fired the city. Col. Mucks, com manding the post, occupied the fort be low the city, with about eight thousand Men. TIM rebels made four assualts on the fort, but were repulsed each time. Three of our gunboats opened upon the city, during its gop a p a ti on b y the enemy, much of which 'Amp burned in cluding the Marine Wiz/ay, the dem er Arizona, and the whoOont. About throe thou of dge iphaM tou#e wooed woo the aster too 4 , bo v of' the rebels. Additional from Paducah. C..u.vto, March 28.—The Beasta and Paw Paw, tin-clads, were the gunboats which participated in the late battle at Paducah. Opening fire simultaneously with the fort, on the enemy's advance into the city, they rendered invaluable service throughout the engagement. After being once repulsed in the as sault on the tort, Forest sent a commu nication to Col Hicks demanding the surrender of the troops and public ; stores, promising, if the demand was complied with that our troops should be treated as prisoners of war; bnt it compelled to storm the tort, they might expect no quarter. Col. Hicks replied that, be was placed there to defimd the fort. which he should do, and peremp torily declined to surrender. The enemy then made a second and third attack on the woods, but were re pulsed each time with heavy loss. The rebels then broke their line, and formed iin squads, occupied the houses, and kept up a fire till late in the evening, when they were driven away, our ar tillery being turned on all buildings oc cupied by them. On their way into the city the enemy fired the railroad depot which was con sumed, and towards evening burned the Quartermaster's building and the steam- Dacotah, not Arizonia, on the Ma vine railroad. They plundered the stores of an immense amount of goods. and took all the horses they could find. Some merchants lost from twenty-five j thousand dollars to ..i.:50,000 worth of property. Early next morning the rebels appeared, when Colonel Hicks burned all the houses within musket range, but the enemy made no advance, and after a request for an exchange of prisoners, which was declined, they re- tired in the direction of Columbus.— Towards the end of the battle it was discovered that the ammunition was nearly exhausted, when Colonel Hicks ordered that should it give out, the fort should be defended by the bayonet as Imfg as a man remained alive, which was received with hearty cheers by all the troops. The negroes, to the number of 220, in the fort, fought with great gallantry. All was . quiet at Paducah yesterday-- The enemy had six small cannon. About fifty buildings were burned. Among them were the hospital, gas-works, sonic of the French residences of the city, the custom house and postoffice, The Con tinental hotel was not injured. Our troops were the 40th Illinois infantry: Col. Hicks., and a batallion of negroes— the regiment not known. By the western mails we have addi tional particulars of Forrest's attack on Paducah. They throw no certain light however, on the extent of the sacking of the place. CAitto, March 29 Paducah is in ruins. Forrest, with seven thousand men, formed a line of battle two and half miles long, on Fri day afternoon in the city, and•demand ed the surrender of the fort. Col. Hicks refused. The fight raged all the after noon. The rebels massed their troops and assaulted the fort, and were repuls ed four times. Their sharpshooters tired from buildings at the troops in the thrt and on the gunboats. The garri son and boats fired at the buildings, knockin:t them down and setting them on fire, v While the fight was going on parties of the enemy plundered stores and carried off horses. The gunboats fired two rounds. They had three wounded. The captain of the Paw Paw received a scrota from a minnie ball on the cheek, and a ball went through his pantaloons. The troops in the tbrt had fOur killed and six W ounded. Forrest took about forty convalescents, inn the hospital, prisoners. The enemy had three hundred killed and 1,000 wounded. The latter were taken by rail, to Mayfield. The i:Jrnier lie about the fort unburied. Col. Hicks is entitled to great praise for his heroic defence. The rebel Brig adier General A. P. Thompson, former ly of Paducah, was killed. Col. Hicks captured a rebel surgeon, who says Forest intended a surprise, and felt fully able to take the fort. Four negroes, who served the artillery, were killed and wounded. All were shot in the head. The city is destroyed. The citizens are encamped in the woods on the Illinois side. Several women were killed. Yesterday Forrest sent a flag of truce to exchange prisoners ; but Col. Hicks would not do it, The enemy left at 3 P. M., going in the direction of Colum bus. They are said to have captured Hickman this morning. The Rebel Generals :Harris and Burbridge were in the fight at Padu cah. The boat burnt was the Daeotah, not the Arizona. CAIRO. March 2i, 1864. Boats that left Paducah at ten this morning reportall quiet. Citizens are returning. Mrs. Grimes and several other women were killed during the engagement. Last evening 500 rebels entered Hickman and plundered the houses, and left.

The officers report that the enemy at Mayfield had sent in a flag of truce, for what purpose is not stated. Ship Canal Convention in lowa. At a largo meeting of citizens and members of the Legislature, held a week or two ago in Des Moines, it was un animously resolved to invite the citizens and business men of lowa, Illinois, Mis souri, Wisconsin and Minnesota, friend ly to the project of a Ship Canal, con necting the Mississippi river from some point opposite the State of lowa with Lake Michigan, to meet in Convention and deliberate upon the measure.

A dispatch from Washington of the 28th says.: Intelligence received in this city trout Richmond leaves little doubt that the Rebel plans for the com ing campaign have been formed with a view to the reclamation of Tennessee and Kentucky to the confederate rule.— The military leaders appear to have de termined not to do what General Grant would like to have them do; they will not make the chif object of the cam paign to hold Richmond. That city has been strongly fortified, and Jeff Da vis and Bragg believe that a compara itively small force will he able to make a ' long stand against the army of Grant. In the meantime the great hulk of the confederate forces will be massed in the \Vest, arid when the season for low water in the Cumberland and ' Tennessee shall arrive a bold push will be made, with three objects. 1. To capture the garrison at Chat tanooga and recover East Tennessee. 2, to reach the Ohio river and establish control over a section of country from which ample supplies may be drawn ; and 3, to again close the Mississippi river and restore communication with the country beyond. It is predicted, therefore, by the rebel sympatizers, that Gen. Grant will encounter but little t serious opposition until he shall reach the fortifications of Richmond, which, as has been stated, are relied upon to resist a long seige and enable the rebels to carry out their plans at the West.— It is probable that Gen. Lee and John ston will exchange places, and that the I former for the third time will essay the offensive. He believes in this plan of conducting the war, while Johnston's idea is the defensive policy, which will be put in practice in Virginia. Terrible Calamity at Sheffield, Eng- land. No country is free from great and terrible calamities. Now it is an earth quake, now a conflagration, now an inundation. England has just been visited with a sudden and awful calami ty of the latter kind. A few miles above Sheffield, a small river, a branch of the Don, had been dammed like the Croton, to form a reservoir for the supply of the town. The lake, formed by what was proved au insufficient em bankment, was nearly a hundred acres in extent, and at midnight on Friday night, 11th inst., this whole body of water swept down the valley, carrying scores of dwellings and drowning some three hundred persons, who were asleep in their beds. The destruction of prop erty all the way to Doncaster is roughly estimated at half a million of pounds sterling. The following is a graphic scene when the flood reached the town, some six miles below the embankment. "Persons who were out in the streets when the flood broke out say there was a long, loud, terrible roar upon the still-1 ness of the night, which increased in its intensity, and as they stood listening, perplexed and wonder stricken, there came sounding above the roar and sud den hissing noise, as of waters dashing on a rock, and this was quickly followed by piercing shrieks, first distant, then. increasing, until up the street in every direction, away from the flow of the 'river, there ran hundreds and hundreds of persons in their night dresses, some dragging little children by the hand, others, half dressed, tripping and falling, and from many the same terrible excla mation came, and nothing more : "Oh, Goa! the flood ! the flood!' Many of the poor, naked and destitute creatures were taken into the police office, where, round a great fire, they lay or stood, talking of their losses, or mourning for their dead, until morning broke, when they sallied forth in the hope of saving some remnant of their goods, or hoping against hope to meet the one they had mourned as dead." The English boast} that if slow they are solid, careful and I sure, but they have explosions in mines, railway accidents, tires, shipwrecks, fitll - of buildings, and similar calamities, as well as other people. In fact, there is probably greater loss of life from such causes in England, in proportion to the 1 population, than in any country in Eu rope. The Mines of Idaho. The Kansas City Journal learns from Dr. E. D.-Italph, who has recently re turned from Idaho, some interesting particulars of that famous mining re gion. Dr. Ralph says gold is found in large quantities. The main mining is as yet gulch and sluice mining, although there are two quartz mills, which are paying well. The gold itself is of a very pure quality—worth $lB per ounce. It is found in the foim of nug gets as well as,,,in that of dust. The Doctor showed us a couple of beautiful nuggets, which Mr. Shouse, of the Mechanics' Bank, weighed in our pres ence—the one worth $lO and the other $B. The Doctor tells us that he has himself seen nuggets worth $l7O, while those worth from $W to $lOO are quite common. He says that last year every body in the mines did well. Ile brings news from a couple of old residents of Kansas City, viz : Jim Vivian and Mr. Underwood. They both spent a couple of years iu Colorado without making anything but are now doing well in Idaho. Vivian is at Stilling Water Guich, and employs twenty men running sluices. He takes out, on an average, $1.200 per day. Laborers are plenty at $6 per flay. There is plenty of water for running sluices.— The mining is much like that iu Califor nia in early days. Idaho, as our readers are aware, is the name of very large Territory. The two principle mining towns are Bannock and Virginia City—about sixty-five miles apart—Bannock being the most easterly, and situated on the stream called Beaver Head. There are from eight hundred to one thousand. people at Bannock and about five thousand in the vicinity of Virginia City. The mines are on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. Stages run tem Bannock to Salt Lake, fare sixty I44tre• The people of Idaho have been 41000 out the scoundrels lately at. $ unras late.

The Doctor says the trip can be made from here to Bannock, with a mule train in about 70 days— with oxen, in from 90 to 100 days. Those going should procure their tools before start ing, as tools are very high there—shov eLs $l2, &c. Provisions to last six months should be taken. He is about to return himself. Corning as these statements do, from a perfectly reliable and well-known man, we are glad to place them before our readers. Areas of the New States and Terri- tories.

The Boise (Bannock City, I. T.,) News, of the 16th January, remarks : "Those who have read the narrative of Adams, the California bear hunter, will remember that he gives an account of having seen, in a region north of Salt Lake City, an animal of the lion species, being somewhat larger than the California lion, and different from it in appearance, inasmuch as the northern animal was spotted in black and white, like the Bengal tiger. His book is il lustrated with a plate representing the new species. We are now assured that settlers have seen an animal correspond ing with the grizzly bear hunter's de scription, in the hills contiguous to the Weiser and Fayette Valleys. It is thought that ere long the public will be satisfied that Adam's account was not mythical, as old hunters are on the track, each eager to be the first to make a capture." The Chattanooga Gazette says the rebels claim to have 50,000 men - at Dal ton and its vicinity, mid that they will capture Chattanooga and East Teunesse when Longstreet's forces move into Kentucky which they say he will do forthwith, with 29,000 men. All the heavy artillery is being re moved from Kingston to Ailtoona. The rebel Gen. Johnston has restrict ed his officers, from Jlµjor Generals down, to one horse. C.'3 - When all the quotas are filled, the strength of our armies will be 753,464 men ; therefore the present strength cannot be far from 100,000, which is believed to be more than 100,000 in excess of the total strength of the reb els.
