Our readers may recollect an account publish ed in these columns some tenor eleven months since, concerniug the adventures at Fensacola and Fort Pickcus, Fla., of a young man named Joseph A. Kerbey, son of Geo. W. Kcrbey, Esq., the worthy agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany at Wilmorc, this county. Young Kerbey, it will be remembered, catered 1 the llcbel lines at the former lace in the dangerous capacity of a Federal spy, and. h after obtaining much valuable information regarding the strength of the enemy, their fortrucations, guns, etc., successfully made I his escape to Fort Pickens, where he com- I municated the essential facts to the com- j uandaut of that po3t. I Returning to New York shortly after, 3Ir. Kerbey came oa home and spent some itime with his friends. A life of inactiv ity being foreign to his nature, however, f he took an early occasion to shape his I Eteps for Washington city, with the inten- tion of fiuding employment in the army I of the Potomac. Since that period, no tidings whatever have been heard of him, until, about two weeks ago, his father re i ceived the gratifying intelligence that he had just effected his escape from the Reb- eU at Cumberland Gap, and was then on I his way home ! IIi3 apearance in proper I person in due course of time dispelled all I doubts as the truth of the good new3, and filled the hearts of his parents and friends 1 who had mourned him as dead with I joy and rejoicing. Young Kerbey, or "Joe," as he is fa- iniliarly called, has truly had an adventu- rou3 time of it during the past year, and "I the tales he telta surpass in interest many I romantic inventions of fiction. On arri- ring at Washington, fter his return from I Fort Pickens, he found his peculiar plans (in that department spoiled by the then re cent Rail Run blunder, so he wended his ! way to Harper's Ferry. While across the I river at this latter place, one day, viewing jthe Rebel entrenchments in the neihbor jhood, he was surprised by several of the !enemy's picket and obliged to give him telf up. lie was afterward taken before ijEcauregard and examined as a spy, but tpaising himself oil as a secesh Maryland jer, he finally succeeded in escaping death, taad was sent to Richmond. Here he was 'confined in the same prison with Corconn find Ely for about a . month, and, in com uon with the Federal prisoners, fared . .ladly. lie ultimately succeeded, howev er, in convincing his guardians that he tvas a bona fide Secesh, and olfered to ihow his fidelity to the "so-called South ern Confederacy" by doing soldier's duty This modest proposal wa3 assented to, and c sent to Yorktown to work on the r.e mnsular fortifications. I Since February last, Mr. Kerbey has been engaged a3 an artillerist at Cumber land Pass, and has been promoted from : a private to a responsible command with one of the batteries. He asserts that he : had almost given up all hope of opeane ; from his detested associates until the late Federal advance toward Cumberland Gap. flaving a fair view one day of the tents THURSDAY:: tf General Carter's forces, he determined to reach them. So, with this object in View,' he attended a parade of one of the icbel regiments, at some distance from the ucampmcnt, and, amid the noise and f bunfu'iion of the affair, wandered off un sorvedly until he had succeeded in put tir.g a hill between himself and his late companions, when he forthwith made rap r'id tracks for Carter's picket. Having a ; Secesh uniform upon him, a portion of ,"whieh he yet wears, he wa3 for a time in mortal terror of being shot by prowling Unionists. The Gap, too, being in plain eight for many miles, he was afraid to Aake the open road for fear of pursuit by he Rebels. Finally, he reached the Cumberland river, which he was obliged , 9 swim, and soon after arrived safely at leneral Carter's camp, where ho was indly received. Prior to leaving North rard, he gave Carter an exact account of n " 4 - - 3 '( all the Rebel troops in East Tennessee, their positions, guns, &c. During a portion of his "strange, event ful career,' Mr. Kerbey was stationed at Knoxvillo, Tenn., .where he : frequently formed one of the guard detailed to watch over Parson Brownlow's house. On the occasion of the Parson's trip eastward over the Pennsylvania Railroad, last week, that distinguished personago was probably not a little astonished at beholding his whi lome guard standing at the station at Wil more. IIo recognized him immediately, however, and the two shook hands warm ly. The Parson was made the recipient of intelligence direct from his family by Mr. K. They parted with mutual expres sions of esteem. Mr. Kerbey professes to be thoroughly acquainted with the rebel lines of defence at Yorktown, the position of the batteries, the number and calibre of the guns, and much other valuable information, which he this week intends laying before the proper authorities at Washington. The Teachers' Cocxty Institute. A Decided tSucccas. Wc last week mcntioued that the Teachers' Institute of this county had convened at Wilmore, en Wednesday, "with every prospect of suc cess." This assertion was based upon the fact that a perfect exodus of Teachers from this section had taken place thither; and, keeping the well established educa tional reputation of the county at large iu view, we were confident that whe-n exiled upon, the profession elsewhere would uot suffer themselves to be fouud wantiuj. Rut we were scarcely prepared, on drop ping in on the sceiie of operatious on Thursday, to behold so large and select an assemblage. Beta ecu ninety and one hundred pedagogues and pedagogue-ese9 the former the most able and iuttlli gent, and the latter the "Urightet aud best," of their class were iu attendance. S. P. Rates, Esq., Deputy State Superin tendent of Common Schouls,' was also present. Uesides these, a large number of "lookers-on in Venice" were on the sod, atttluve aud expectant. Altogeth er, the 'gathering was the largest &ud most respectablrof the kind that we Lave ever had thirpiivijege of "attending. A tenorary organization was effected on Wednesday by the election of 1. W. Evans", Supt. of the EbensLurg Union Schohas President. Subsequently, the Instifu? was permanently organised by the stflectjon of the following officers : Presi lenf W. A. Scott, County Supt. Recording Secretary, S. li. il'Corruick, Si- periiitendeiitJoliiistuvTii Luion Jscttool. Atrial :iifSo:retary, Ad.ita Geor. Correi-uoSiu,: Seo'y, Miss Lizzifa Hutchin son. Treasurer, Win. A. Little. The proceedings during the entire continuance of the Institute were of an exceedingly harmonious as well as inter esting character. The Teachers seouied to participate in the various exercises as th. jgh they weant business, and not as is unfortunately too often the cae as if they intended putting ia the time on the buncombe principle. When founded on this bais, jiccirdiiig to our estimate, noth ing more highly conduces to the advance ment of the great Common School inter est, to the improvement of the Teachers, and thereby to the promotion of the dig nity of the profession of teaching itself, than do these same Institutes. There, Teachers may meet together, compare notes as to their dirtereut methods of leaching, and make deductions, and no one, we venture to say, would be so over powcriugly wise that he might not at least learn something. The addresses of Deputy Supt. Rates added greatly to the general edification of the association. He touched upon almost every conceivable educational topic, aud let fall many valuable practical sugges tions. He is a gentleman of high intel lectual attainments, and is eminently qualificd for the responsible post he now so acceptably fills. The essays of Misses Louise E. Vick roy and Mary M. Swank the forruei on "Our Country's Glory," and the latter on "Musie" attracted much attention. Copies have been solicited for publication. We failed to secure a copy of the min utes of the association, and are therefore unable to give a detailed account of the proceedings. They will probably appear in our next issue. Prior to adjournment which took place on Friday afternoon it was decided that the next session of the Institute bo held at Johnstown, in conformity with a call to be issued by the Executive Committee. 2r Gpdey's Lady's Rook for May ha3 been received. It is full to overflowing with good things. Every lady in the land should become a subscriber to it the sooner the better. . Cambrians in the Battle op Pitts burg Landing One Killed and TJiree Wounded ! Mr. Jerry Powell, a captain of a gun in Taylor's Chicago battery, and who participated with marked bravery in the Fort Donelson battle, was killed out right at Pittsburg Landing on the first day of the fight. He' wa3 a son of Mr. David Powell, of Cambria township, and formerly resided in thi3 locality. We understand that his remains are to be brought home for interment. By letters received here, we learn that Co. C, Capt. Williams, 19th regular in fantry composed almost wholly of Cam brians participated in the above engage ment and covered themselves with glory. Three cf their number are reported woun ded, viz : John Lister, in the leg ; Cyrus Mctzler, in the hip ; M'Govern, in the head The two first named were but slightly hurt, but tho other ia seriously injured and will scarcely recover.
