ApPRorR1ATE.-Great battles and great he
roes often give name to articles of commerce
and domestic utility. Thus we have Raglan
coats, Solferino and Magenta colored silks, rib
boss, &c. Now we respectfully suggest to
some enterprising apothecary to get up some
Beouregard pills. With such a name they
could hardly fail in being powerful eracuators
We charge nothing for the suggestion.

DEPARTURE OF THE STH REGIMENT.-The
9Th Vermont Regiment left this village en- route
Tor the "seat OF war;" on Thursday afternoon
OF last week, at half past one o'clock, in a
special train of twenty-six long cars. They
were glad to get away, for since the news Of
our recent glorious victories they have ached
to be at their proper business-fghting the
rebels. From abundant indications on the
moinng OF their departure they went of if not
in good, Mt least in full spirits-suiIicien we
should judge to last them their entire voyage.
Their spiritual condilisn on numerous occasions
is matter for which but small measure of re-
sponsibility attaches to our village. The men
have been ministered to by numerous agents
and missionaries from establishments beyond
our reach, who have held forth in the woods
and by the way-side Notwithstanding the in
clement season Of the year. But the men are
gone and quiet again REGIS in Brattleboro.

FROM THE POTOnIC.
Leesburg Taken by the Federal Troops.
THE REBELS RETREAT.

Col Geary has taken Leesburg and driven
Gen Hill with his whole commend from the
town and surrounding forts The stars and
stripes now wave over all. Gen Halls army
fell back towards Middleburg Friday night
Col Geary left Lovettsyi.le with his whole com
mand, and marched through Wheatland and
Waterford, ;aking prisoners at both places and
putting the scattered forces of the rebels ,
flight. Shortly after he took possession of
Fort Johnson, which was re-christened by the
officers, Fort Geary. He then entered the town
with flags flying and bayonets fixed. The reb-
el troops, who had thought this one of their
greatest strongholds, could be discovered
through glass retreating. The command took
many prisoners and stores, and are in possess
sion of the bank, post office and public build
ings. Fort Beauregard and Evons were also
taken. This brilliant achievement by well
timed blow and skillfu maneuver is of vast i'm
portdnce. The command is well and in good
spirits. \ detachment of the LIST Michigan
cavalry dill much service under Col Geary in
this movement.
1t is stated that but 400 of the 10Th Missis-
Sippi regiment remained at Leesburg at the
time Of the evacuation. These retrea,ed in the
direction of Manassas Gap.

"ARTEMAs" ComNG-Our readers will see
by notice in another column that Mr.. Chas.
+. Browne, of New York City, gentleman
well known as the most popular humorous
writer of the day, under the non de plume of
"Artemas Ward" has been engaged to deliver
his celebrated lecture entitled "Children in the
Wood" at Town Hall, on Thursday evening
March 9th. Mr.. Browne needs no introduction
from us, as the inimtable letters of "a. Ward"
have been copied into every paper in the
civilized world, and the "Wacks Figgers" of
the "Great American Snowman" are familiar
wherever the English language is known and
and read. "Chldren in the Wood" is a title
skilfully made use of by the lecturer as u me-
dium for giving all the current topics and insti-
tutions of the day some ceJy hdrd hits so that
those who go with the expectation of hearing
the history of those interesting Juveniles re-
hearsed, it is quite needless to say, will proba-
bly, be disappointed, as the "babes" are utterly
tlouted by the lecturer, who, we have under
STOOD proceeds in the coolest manner possible
to treat Of every other known topic.

OUR SCHooLs.-We have received printed
copy OF the Report Of the Superintendent of
Schools of the town of Brattleboro, for the
year ending March 1862. We have examined
1t with care and find therein many important
suggestions in relation to our school houses and
schools which we commend to the consideration
of parents, guardians, and all interested in pub
lie instruction. AS the Report is in the hands
of every family it is not necessary for us to
publish it, either wholly or in part, but we trust
every voter and every parent will give it Il
thorough reading The Superintendent, Mr.
Wilson has brought TO the discharge of his
duties large experience in the management of
schools, and great zeal and enthusiastic devo-
ton to their welfare. If our citizens will sec
ond his efforts we shall have no occasion TO re-
greet the large expenditures of cur town and
village for public instruction.
The winter term of all our village schools
closed last week. From the Report of their
Superintendent and other evidence We believe
that they have been generally successful during
the past year. We understand that the Pru-
dental Committee have not hired the teachers
for the coming school year, as has been the GUS
tom heretofore. They have decided to await
the action of the annual meeting ON the 25th
inst. The whole matter will then be in the
hands of the voters, and we hope they will at
tend the meeting and be prepared to give ex-
preston to their wishes in the matter.

SURRENDER OF THE CONGRESS.

After sinking the Cumberland, the Merrimac
turned her attention to the Congress- and in
less than an hour the white flag was hoisted a.
board the latter. The officers were taken off
by rebel gunboa:, and the crew allowed to
escape. During the evening the Congress was
set on fire and made brilliant spectacle. At
midnight she was blown up, with a tremend-
Gus explosion.
