MoRRIsvILLE, Sept. 10Th. 1861.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t was our pleasure to be
present at the opening of the "fall term"
of the Peoples Academy" in this village;
aud we are happy to be able to state that
it opened under auspices far more encour-
aging than had been anticipated by many,
from the fact of the present financial cri-
sis. The number of students present be-
ing about forty, indicates the manifest in
tention of the people Of Morrisville and
contiguous towns, to sustain this institu-
ton, which has thus far been among the
most interesting features of the place.
Having been placed under the supervis-
ion of Mr. McKillop. A. B., late graduate
of Burlington College. who is evidently a
Christian and scholar. we have reason to
expect that with the aid of his able aux
iliaries he will secure for 1t continuance
of that prosperity which has hitherto
characterized its existence; and gained for
it its high reputation as an institution of
learning.
We found among its efficient board of
instructors, Miss Fannie w. Mutt, who
has for a year past been connected with
the school as Preceptress, and who, by her
natural urbanity, combined with her hap
Ply faculty of imparting instruction, has
won the affection of her pupils, and earned
for herself the reputation of a successful
teacher.
We also found at the head of the musi-
cal department, Mrs Abbie A. Blanchard,
whose successful career in connection with
this institution as teacher of ins,rumen-
tai and vocal music, is widely known
Though disease has long held her in sub
lection, she is now, through the interposi.
ton of kind Providence, able to resume
her position at the head of her class, uu-
assisted, and all desiring instruction in
her department, can receive it at her hands
The school now numbers over sixty, and
will doubtless be larger before the term
closes We wish for this and all kindred
institutions the highest degree of prosper
i,y, for we believe that on the intelligence
of the people, depends in very great meas
ure the perpetuity of our government and
our national prosperity. lot.

CD We had the pleasure on Wednesday

ca We had the pleasure on Wednesday
evening of listening 10 part of lecture
at johnson, by Rev. L. A. Dunn, pastor
of the Baptist church in Fairfax, giving Il
description of things seen on tour made
by himself and others, the present season
through Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, the
islands of the Mediterranean, Greece, Italy
Switzerland, France and England. The
lecture was quite interesting, and was lis
tened to by a full house. We're it not that
the public is so fully absorbed in the war
Mr.. Dunn could hardly do better thing
than to write book.
Among other things, the lecturer says
that he saw the tomb in which Christ was
laid by Joseph; he saw three holes in the
rock on the top of Calvary, in which were
erected the crosses on which Christ and
the two thieves were suspended. The
tomb is entered by passage about IS
inches wide. and high enough for short
person to stand erect. After passing in o
few feet a small room is found, on the right
side of which is shelf on which it is sup
posed the body of the Savior was laid. He
thinks there can be no doubt that this was
the place where Jesus was laid, as the land
on which it is situated was long known as
the possession of Joseph and his descen-
dants, and there was no other tomb in that
vicinity.
Jerusalem is walled city, the walls be-
ing from 40 to 200 feet high. He visited
the pool of Bethesda, the Pottcr's Field,
the Garden of Gethsemane--the location
of which he says he recognized by the de-
scription of it in the Bible, which, he says,
is perfect hand hook of the country. He
visited Jericho, and found the thieves as
numerous as did "a certain man" who
went down there years ago. The River
Jordan has high, rock banks, and is three
or four times as large as the Lamoille. He,
visited and bathed in the Dead Sea, and
across it saw the "Pillar of Salt" His
bath left his skin covered with a slime that
he could not remove for several DAYS,
though the water was clear. A little of
the water in his eyes made them smart like
lye The sea is 1900 feet below the level
of the ocean, and on its banks is no green
thing. He passed through tho wilderness
of Judea-a region of sand-visited Beth.
lehem, the Pools of Solomon, Samaria, and
the We'll of Sychar, the Sea of Galilee,
the ''pit" in which Joseph was placed by
his brethren, Tyre, Sidon, Beyrout, passed
over Mt. Lebanon, and visited Damascus,
and saw the wall by which Paul "was let
down in basket"
At Rome he saw the "hired house" in
which Paul lived three years, and the dun
geon in which he was confined previous to
his execution. The prison consists of two
rooms, one below the other, dug in solid
rock.
The speaker stated that while travelling
in the East. their party, consisting of about
20 men, always carried with them the
Star Spanglcd Banner" and in all their
marches it was kept floating in advance of
the party.
The speaker mentioned many other
things in connection with their tour, but
we have not the space to speak of them as
we would like.
The privilege of listening to him again
would give US much pleasure.

To do this. he extended his lines, which be
was enabled to do by reason of his great num-
bers. This was unfortunate for US, as it re-
quired corresponding extension of our own
lines to prevent his extreme right from out
Hawking us-a movement on our part which
weakened the force of our resistance along
the whole line oc battle, which finally extend
ed over space of two miles. 1t also render
ed it the more difficult to bring up reinforce
ments, as the further the enemy extended his
right, the greater the distance our reserve
forces had to travel to counteract the move
ment.
This effort to turn our flank was pressed
with great determination for five long, weary
hours, during which the tide of battle ebbed
and flowed along the entire line with alter
nate fortunes. The enemy's column contin-

from Fairfax Court House. by Centreviile, to

of the 7th and Sth regiments, had been put in

EOn Sunday. the 21st day of Jnly. 1861,
this great battle was fought, and great vic
tory won by the Confederate troops Heaven
smiled on our arms, and the God of battles
crowned our banners with lanrels of glory.
Gen Johnston had arrived the preceding
day with about half of the force he had de-
tailed from Winchester, and was the senior
officer in command. He magnanimOusly in
sisted, however, that Gen. Beauregard's pre-
vious plan should be carried out, and he was
guided entirely by the judgment and superior
local knowledge of the latter. While, there
fore. Gen. Johnston was nominally in COM
maud. Bsauregard was really The officer and
hero of the day.
At half-past six in the morning the enemy
opened fire from a battery planted On hill
beyond Bull Run, and nearly opposite the
centre of our lines The battery was intend
ed merely to beat the bush, and 10 occupy
our attention, while he moved heavy col
umn towards the Stone Bridge, over the
same creek, upon our left. At ten O'Clock,
another battery was pushed forward, and
opened fire short distance to the left of the
other, and near the road leading North 20
Centreville. This was battery of riHad
guns, and the object of its fire was the same
as that of the other. They fired promIscu-
ously into the woods and gorges on this, the
Southern, side of Bull Run, seeking to create
the impression thereby that our Centre would
be attacked, and thus prevent Us from send
ing reinforcements to our left. where the real
attack was to be made. Beauregard was not
deceived by the man0uvre.
Il might not be amiss to say that Bull Kun
or creek is North of this place, and runs
nearly due East, eurving around the juno

except at the loss of thousands of prisoners
and all his batteries, while the field would
have been strewn with his dead.
Finding that his orders had in some way
failed to be executed, Gen. Beauregard at
last ordered up portion of the forces which
were intended to cooperate with Gen. Ewell.
It was late, heBsver before these reinforce
ments came up. Only one brigade reached
the field before the battle was won. This
was led by Gen. Z. K. Smith, of Florida, for

from threeidistinet points, was to force back
the enemy, who began to retreat, first in good
order, and finally in much confusion. At
this point, the cavalry were ordered upon the
pursuit. The retreat now became u perfect
rout, and it is reported that the flying le-
