We passed last Thursday in the
schools in this village taught rcspec-
lively by Mr.. Charles A. Slocum, and
Miss Ellen l.. Wilbur. The present
term is the first experience of Mr..
Slocum, and he gives promise of be-
ing a successful teacher; his School
was orderly, and appeared to be
making good progress.
Of Miss Wilbur we need not speak
her well known reputation as COM
petent teacher, makes unnecessary
any encomiums from us.

The President has avowed his pur-
pose to adhere to cautious and pru-
dent policy in relation to foreign
affairs. There need be no apprehen-
sion of the occurrence of hostilities
between England and the United
States. Unless the British Goyern-
ment seek a preteNt for war, there is
no ground for creating serious difficul-
ty. The Government feels no ankle
ty on this subject. believing q Tempe
rate policy will allay excited feelings
and tend to cement the friendly rcla-
tions which have hitherto existed.

WASHINGTON AND VICINITY.

The question of granting clearances to South.

referred to the ecrotary of the Treasury for de-
olson. The President and Secretary Seward
visited the Potomac Flotilla on Saturday and
returned late in the morning.
On Friday a portion of the New Jersey brig
AIDE, under Gen. Franklin, went to Springfield
Station, and one regiment from Gen. llentzel-
mans command proceeded to Barker's Station,
on the Orange g. Alexandria Railroad. The
latter is fourteen miles from Alexandria, and
there was no evidence of the enemy near either
place.

AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 70.
Ben McCuloch with u large force is now en-
camped between Springfield and Lebanon. His
pickets extended on Friday night over space
of Is miles this side of Lebanon. It was ru-
mored in the Federal camp Friday night that
an advance of the rebel army, 500 strong, was
at the Gasconade bridge, about l3 mile west of
Rola. This, however, was not credited.
Gen. Halleck has issued general orders, ma
king the entire affairs of the Western Depart
ment conform strictly with the army regula-
tons, and reducing every thing TO u complete
and easily understood system.
The burning of the principal part Of the
town of Warsaw is confirmed by gentleman
from that vicinity. The main business portion
of the town consisting of one large block and
several smaller ones was in flames when the gen
tleman left the town. Being scattered it is
probable nearly all the residences escaped. The
Quartermastcr and Commissary Departments
were located in the large block, but a great por-
ton of the Government stores were removed.
The troops who were there at the time were
on the march to Sedalia, and left the morning
following the fire. which occurred on Tuesday,
about 6 o'clock p. M. A portion of the COM
uissary stores for which we had the transporta-
ton were burnt, by order of the commanding
officer. 1t is thought by the commanding off.
Ger that the town was fired by the citizens, as IA
man dressed in citizen : clothing was seen COM
ing from the building in which the fire origina-
ted.

MoRE Work FOR THE REHkIs At lIouE

MoRE WORK FOR THE REBELS AT HOME -
Capt, David ID. P,rter Of the Navy, is getting
together the materials for another expedition To
the Southern coast, at New YORK. There are
now about eighty vessels read y, or nearly ready
for s'iling, and others are preparing for service.
The New York Journal Of Commerce says:
:" In I'd iltion to Burnsidos and Buffers expe-
ditions, the Government is now fitting out II

Weatern Virginia.

The campaign in Northwestern Virginia is
virtually at an end. The Wheeling lateNigencer
states that the troops of Gen. Reynolds COM
mand are being divlsloned for active service in
other quarters of the country. Several of the
Ohio regiments are en- ronte for Kentucky, and
others will join Gen. Kelley at Romuey, and IN
connection with the force already there com
mence forward movement in concert with an
expected movement of the grand army of the
Potomac. The advance camp OF Gen. Rey
nolds, now holding the mountain pass, will re-
tain their position, and will make themselves
snug and comfortable and secure in their strong
ly entrenched blockhouses. The rebe who en-
deavored to oppose him, have dwindled away.
Sickness has caused fearful havoc among them
Captured letters represent that out OF thirteen
hundred men in one division not three hundred
were fit for service. Their condition has no
doubt been deplorable, ever sine, they entered
the country They found little sympathy
among the people. The storms and frosts and
chills OF Cheat Mountain were more than their
Southern constitutions could bear, aud their
food was bad and scanty. They fell sick, and
were miserably attended. They died like
Sheep as their d.c,or writes. The MteiH-
genCer says
The failure of rebellion in Western Vir-
gina may be considered complete. Floyd, poor
thief and traitor, has stolen off with most Of
his command, utterly frustrated and crippled.
His course, as also that Of Wise, has been one
of constant humiliation. The campaign in
Western Virginia has been miserable failure.
The leaders 20 home to receive the upbraidinss
and reproaches Of their papers and the people.
Already Wise is sick in bed, sore at heart his
braggadocio all exposed. Fioyd's private char
acter is bitterly aspersed, and even among his
confederates nough5 remains for him but an ig
noninlous remnant of lite,'
The movement Of troops from Indiana, Ohic
and the battle fields of Western Virginia il
now toward kentucky and the army IN Mis-
souri, will probably not long hence be concensra
ted along the river, making combined force
of not less than 100 900 men for grand win
ter movement on Memphis, Nashville and Eas

Jeff. Davis Message.

We call the attention Of our readers to the
Geographic abstract of the message of the Con-
tederate President, to his Congressional Conted-
crates, which we print elsewhere in this paper.
1t is evidently piece Of special pleading
and an attempt to make a bud and unsuccessful
cause appear as we'll is possible. He doesn't
make any mention of the little affair at Por, Roy
al, but dwels at length upon the rebel successes
in Missouri and Kentucky. lie makes the poor
est possible justification of the rebel occupation
of Kentucky and even at that it is false both in
its facts and pretences
But, unless tho telegraph wires have done the
reasoning of the rebel President great injustice,
his exposition of the financial system of the reb-
els shows their finances in diapidated state
Their government, he says, can borrow just as
much money without interest, as it can issue
Treasury notes and the extent to which it can
issue these notes is only limited to the number
0! people that can be made to take them. As
DON as these notes are made legal tender for
debts, JEFF has hopes that the finances of tho
Confcderacy will be all right.
This is of course, but roundabout way Of
saying that the financial resources of rebellion
have come down to shinplasters and Davis
very judiciously refrains from entering into a
discussion of the value Of such u currency
abroad. Bot these shinplasters are perfectly in
keeping with the entire rebellion TINS far They
are lies to be sure promises to pay, which no.
bo1y expects will ever be fuGlled-but so have
been all the rretences and shams upon which
this gigantic treason was built 1t has been one
stupendous lie from first to last, and will con-
tinue to fortify itself behind entrenchments of
falehoods, until the power of the government
shall break through all these shams, and shall
overthrow that wickedest lie OF all, the pretence
that there can b, such a thing as property in
man.
