Our Army Repulsed.
Wcha'osad and disheartening news
from Virginia. The Graud Army of the
l'otomac, 150,000 strong, from which so
much was expected, has been badly worst
ed, and obliged to rc-cross the Rappahan
nock, after four of five days hard lighting
with immenso loss . In these terrible
battles thousands of noble lives wcro sac
rificcd, and all to little purposo, and this,
too, being tho ftjlh (?) attcn.pt to march
upon Richmoud.
This unlotikcd for and unexpected re
sult, by many, will sadden thousands of
hearts. Again, says tho 1'iitriot ) Ui'
ion, the dead have failed in vain again
wc look upon tho wounded, and suffering,
the brave men who have been muiilatcd
in battle, without tho consolation of suc
cess to assuage our woo. But let us try
to boar it, as wc have borno othci similar
reverses, with manly fortitude. If the
war should continue, under the guidance
and for the avowed purposo of those who.
administer tho government, wc may con
sider ourselves fortunate indeed if othor
and far greater evils do uot befall us.
But this is hardly a fit time to indulge in
reflections upon a result at once so un
foitunato and so distressing. With the
relatives and friends of tho gallant men
who perished on tho bloody field wo sin
cerely sympathize, and w hat wc can do,
that will wc cheerfully do to relieve the
wants and sufferings of tho wounded war
riors who will soon fill our hospitals.

would be the aaihor of sin. Abraham
bought slaves with his money; was lie a
sinner, or was he a special favorite of God.

Our District I think
demands it.
The Democratic writoris too harsh and
I think it was uncalled for. The Board
of Directors in our District arc all sound
Democrats, aud thought it proper not to
ilrag polit cs into our schools 1st to keep
peace and unity in the schools. 2d. to
prevent a retrograde movement in tho
i"ids of tlio children.
Our Board would soon disperse teachers
who would dare annoy us with politics in
the fchools. So far as I know the tcach
crs of our District rendered general satis
faction, and the majority I believe were
Kcpublicans, nevertheless taught good
sch.ols. Ono grand feature of our schools
was the "Dis'rict Institute" which was
regularly held, aud well attended. This
ohowiug tl c condition and circutnstauccs
of olu' schools wo will now refer you to
tlic Exhibitior. It was contemplated by
llu teachers long before the close of the
scIlo1 tcrm, they often consulted moon
j tho subject, and I gave them all the en
couragement I could.
It was finally planned, and four schools
agreed to consolidate into one 0110 grand
progra mine, each teacher to exhibit his
own school, which had made preparations
previous in their own respective school
houses. One of these four school was

mate, of course it was annoying to hear
and see some things, hut when people go
to an exhibition thoy expect to hear what
the boys havo to say.
Articles of that kind arc doing injustice
to communiti.s dedicated to, It could n t
have been urged by tho Democrats of our
own District for that reason it is uncalled
for if it was urged by our District was it
well lounded I Our District is as Democrat
o as thoro is one in the country, simply
taught by teachers of both parties the
speakers of tho exhibition were generally
Democrats and demanded the attention of
tho spectators. It certainly was ungentle
manly to disturb Democrat speakers if
thoy had no respect for Republican teach

adoption of that policy by this adminis

at its hands. Upon any details of admin
istration,' upon any of tho measures
whioh tho President and Congress may sco
fit to adopt, that party has a perfect right
to its own opinion. It may with perfoot
propriety protest against tho Proclamation
of Emancipation tho polioy of arbitrary
