confirmation.

A Weekly Family News paper
War Matters.

The rumored evacuation of Newport
News by the Federal forces, seeinst to have
been premature. 1t is probable that the
rumor arose from their leaving of q large
number of troops from that place, whose
term of service had expired. The sickness
of the troops there, is mentioned as another
reason for their removal. 1t seems however
that fresh troops have been sent there.
Gen. Magrnder has given Butler several
opportunities to try. his powess, but he
declined.
Gen. Wise has effected conjunction of his
forces with Gen. Floyd's brigade, at White
Sulphur Springs, Va. The troops are in
good condition. The Richmand Dispatch
has the following:
"a passenger who lefl Monteay Thursday
morning, and who arrived yesterday afternoon
per Central cars, reports that General Ros-
encranz, in command of the Northern forces
in Western Virginia, and General Lee, in
command of our amy operating in that part
ofthe State, met at Rich Spring, an impor-
tant point, and said to be the key to the
Valley. Both Generals were pushing with
all speed, each endeayoring to occupy it in
advance of the other.
5 General Lee, however, was more active
than the General with the Dutch name, and
arrived with two regiments several hour
in advance of his competitor, who had four
z regiments.
Our in~formantsstates that a skirmish took
place, resulting in a repulse of the Northern
troops, with a loss of about forty men killeC
ana wounded"
n 70 movement had yet taken place nea
the Potomac, other than a gradual adyane
upon the enemies lines. Southern troops ar
constantly increasing the number of GU
army on the Potomac and at other points.

The Newspaper.

10 nc other way can so much, so varied, so
useful information be impaired, and under
circumstances so favorable for educating the
chilfs mind. as through judioious, we'll con-
Quoted newspapers. To live in a village was
once to be shut up and nninstructed but
now = man may DO a hermit and yet q COS
mopolite. He may live in the forest, walking
miles TO q post Office, having a mail but once
a week, and yet he shall be found familiar
with tho living world as the busiestone in it
For the newspaper is a spyglass by which he
brings near the most distant things--a mi
scroseope by which he leisurely examines
the most minute obiect-an ear trumpet by
which he collects and brings within his hear
ing all that is said and done, all over the
earth--a museum full of living pictures Of
real LIE, drawn on canvass, but with printers
ink sn paper. The effect of liberalizing ant
enlarging the mind of the young, and this
weekly commerce with the world will be ap'
parent to any one who will ponder it. One
a liberal education could only be complete
by foreign travel. The sons of only th
wealthyIcould indulge in this costly benefit
But now, the poor mans son can learn a
much at,home as hundred years ago a gen
tleman could by journeying they world ovel
For while there are some advantages in goin
into the world, it is the poor mans priyil
eye to have the worlu to come to see him.
The newspaper is a great collector, a gre,
traveller, a great lecturer. 1t is commc
peoples Fncyclopedia-the lyceum, the co
lege.

NAIL CARRIERS. We unite with the Fay
e%tteville Observer in the inquiry-Cannot our
members of Congress have something done
for the mail carriers in this State. Many of
them are poor men, and they have been car
rying the mails for six and ten months with
cut receiving a cent of pay. There is gener-
al complain about the matter, and unless they
receive some part of their pay, many will
discontinue Carrying the mail. Forsome time
before the breaking up of the Union, the old
government neglected to pay them, and after
dissolution, they continued to do the work
for the purpose of aiding the Southern gov
eminent, expecting, of course, that they
would receive pay as soon as the government
got in working order. Some have quit fo
the want of means to continue, and other,
have informed US that they will be compelles
soon to discontinue the service unless the,
receive some compensation. They have thei
horses to feed, riders and drivers to pay, an,
it is actually necessary that they should b
paid. If orders were given them for tn
amounts in the p~ost-offices along their lines
it would relieve them for the present,
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1849-1865, 1861-08-21

The enemy were never so weak during the
war as they are at this moment Democrat
lied by the blighting influences growing out
of their recent defeat-deserted by eighty
thousand of their seasoned soldiery-their
camps full of raw levies-an undrilled mob,
and they in the full enjoyment Of the diseases
incident to all new soldiery-the Government
DISTRACTED in its councils and on the verge of
disintegration-Scott put in virtual disgrace
by the promotion of a snbaltern to joint au-
thority with him-this is the hour of the enc
my's weakness and of our strength. Are we
going to improve our opportunity ? This is
the question now uppermost on the lips Of
all.
We have at this time in Virginia a splen.
did army how many it would not be prudent
to say, but enough to strikes grand, decisive
blow. 1t is an army of veterans, some fresf
from a victorious field, others burning with
desire to emulate the deeds of their more for
tunate comrades, and all anxious to clos,
with the enemy, and if possible transfer tn
Flanders of the war to the Susquehannah.
The opportunity exists-the gate is opel
for a march to victory and independence
We have no reason to doubt that that marcel
will be made.

DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH, SIXTH Ay.
SERMON BY THE REV. }. C. BUTCHER.

The Dutch Reformed Churches generally omitted
special services at their respective places Of worship
and held prayermeeting at the church on Lafayette
place. Pursuant to notice, however the Sixtbavenue
Church was opened, and large congregation assen-
tled On the occasion. The pastor, the Rev. j. G..
Dutcler took for the basis OF bis remarks the worde
"Who can tell II God win and repeat and turn awsy
from his herce anger, that we perish not p"
The preacher took occasion TO refer to the circum
stances that had called ehese services the distracted
state of the nation and the propriety of recognizing
the hand Of God in national character. Afiicions
and cslamter are means of restoring nations to their
sense of dependence upon God. He reviewed our
,ings and privileges and oonrasted the peace and
prosy city Of tie part With the dark and threatening
clo.ae now Overbanging the nation. He pointed ont,
briefly but iorcbly the calames which have resulted
and will result from national SINS disregard of the
divine law, and the selfconfdence and p'lie which
lead us TO rely upon wealth and national pow
er instead Of upon the divine rulers.
Mr.. ID. earnestly ard eloquently appealed to the
Christian Jariosm OF the people aud TO their love OF
Union and Freedom to resist the growth of reckless
partisan sJirit Of sectional ho+t-s and OF disre-
gard for the injuDc,ions and teachings OF the eat
men Of the past Especially placing ourselves as a
nation the principles OF Christian freedom with
lance upon Divine Providence, We may outride o r
storms, and with repentance aud good works we may
still enjoy peace and prosperity, aud look upon our
