Owing to the hard times, the faculty de
term'ned, much to the disappointment Of
the students, to postpone the usual semi.
annual exhibition, This proceeding set
several Of the young gentlemen upon
the rampage and they determined to have
an exhibition at any price, and according.
ly the affair came off at Wslleck's thea.
tire, on Tuesday. The house Was crowded,
principally with ladies, and everything
passed of harmoniousiy enough. The fac.

the conduct Of the rebels, however, and it
remains to be sect what action they will
take in the matter to bring them to Justice.

The following is the full text Of the dis
patch regarding the landing of Ranks in
North Carolina. This report has been
neither confirmed nor satisfactorily con-
tradicted as yet:
Special Dspateh to the Philadelphia Pressl
r. WAsHINeTON, Sunday, Dec. IA.
During the day the city was filed with
rumors in regard to Banks expedition
Some reported that it had been landed at
the head Of York river, and all agreed that
it had not gone south Of Hatteras.
have Just received information from
good authority that General Banks has
landed with twenty thousand men at Win
ton, North Carolina, near the headwaters
Of the Chowan river.
General Nathaniel P. Banks has assum-
ed command of the Army of the Blackwa-
ter, consisting Of three corps d armes, form
ing a grand division Of the army.
General Foster will command the left
Wing-three divisions, forming a corps
daTmee.
General Peck will command the right
wing, forming corps fdrnse Of three di-
visions.
General Augur VIII command the center
corps of three divisions.
Gen. EWen will command the reserve
troops, composed of twelve trusty regi-
ments, three batteries of artillery, and two
squadrons Of cavalry. I'D.
Gen. Banks is already advancing, hav-
ing formed junction with our troops at
Suffolk. Gen. Fosters army has Joined
him by this time.
It may be that Weldon will be taken i'm
mediately, but Petersburgh must fall in
q few days, while Burnside is driving Lee
back upon Richmond, to receive the 'qast
toss Of the fork" from Gen. Banks as he en-
deRTors to retreat to Lynchburg or Dan
VILE. l- g-. lt.-E -'7f f-s.H
Gen. Banks has full possession Of the
Seabosrd and Roanoke Railroad, and his
future supplies viii reach him by two 9TH
er routes besides this one.
Thus far the movement may be consid-
cred a great success, and while its demor-
Rizing efoots upon tire enemy VIII be
very great, the effect upon the spirit of the
Northern people viii be most sslutsry.

Mr.. Whitworth, whose shells worked
such havoc in the irOn-plated targets at
shOeburyness, has addressed anOte to the
London Times, in which he sums up the
results of his last astonishing experiments.
He says:
ain these first trials Of the shells with
large guns, I was desirous of using means
already in use as far as I could. The cav
ity ofthe finch shell was therefore filled
with FIVE pounds Of ordinary cannon pow
der. 1t is now evident that greater guam
titles of powder, either alone or combined
with other chemical agents more powerful
still, may be employed as bursting charg-
es, and much greater 'shattering effects
will be produced.
"The simple construction Of shell and
the means Of enclosing the bursting charge
employed by me will, l believe, admit of
such agents being used with much advan-
tage and without danger of premature ex-
plosion. There is another point to be con-
sidered; fat fronted shells are not defect
ed upwards by water, like the round heads.
They will pass through very many feet of
water and then penetrate ships side, or
uhmdg6 ueE TuQQeF or screw, as was SHOWN
by experiments made at Portsmouth. A
shattered hole made in q ships side below
the water line will be plugged, if at all,
with very great difficulty"
1.-THE main point here set forth is the su-
periority Of the fat headed shells over the
kinds formerly employed. They can be
made to pass through the water and strike
vessel below the water line without SEN
sibly diminishing their force while their
artuai shaITer1ng erect upon the side OF a
ship plated even so strongly as the last tar
get used at Shoeburyness, is sufficiently
proved by the results Of the trial in No
vember.
ain the same note, Mr.. Whitworth chal-
lenges Sir William Armstrong to a new
trial of strength; but that distinguished
artillerist seems as much disinclined to re-
enter the lists as the iron men to encounter
a new assault from Mr.. Whitworth's fear
full shells. The controversy which has
made guns and iron broadsides play for
year at the game of shuttlecocks appears
to be decided for the present in favor of
the guns" -r9

Some months ago, lad who was pu-
pill in the Seminary at Williamsport, Penn
sylvania, enlisted and came to the West
with the Anderson Troop. Being under
age, his mother wrote to him to know if he
desired her to commence proceedings with
view to his discharge from the service,
and received his answer, asking her to de-
sist from such undertaking, in these pa
triOtic words;
E's You wish to know IL like the life.
Certainly not. Inever expectedto, but am
much better pleased than I even anticipa-
ted. did not enter the army because 1
thought would like it, but enlisted simply
out Of q sense of duty. ] am Northerner
by birth; all my interests in this world
are there, and was reared and educated
under the American flag, the glorious " old
stars and stripes, and / could not stand
as s casual witness Of the downfall Of
that flag without raising my arm in its de-
Tense; 1 could not see our glorious Union
totter and fall without rushing to its res
cue. You had four sons, and out Of those
four was the only one able to obey my
cOuntry's call, the only one capable Of de-
fsnding the rights Of our Constitution
aud this is the reason entered the army
Sc do not again ask me If like it, or if 1
want to be taken out at your commands"
The Philadelphia Press says this young
dragoon is q native Of Harrisburg, where
srme Of his kindred now reside, whilst
many Of his name sleep in the old church
yard at Paxton, a historic spot three
miles from the capital Of Pennsylvania.

General Burnside Ruined in Business by

General Burnside Ruined in Business by
the HiIluiny of RlOyd---His Honorable
Conduct
The stOry of Burnside's honorable deal
ings with his creditors, showing that the
reliable, ambitious lad was the father of
the honest man, we find thus told in Har-
per's Weekly:
ain SO he resigned his rank in the army
and devoted his time and energy to the
manufacture Of the famous rifle which
bears his name. When Buchanan was
elected to the Presidency, his Secretary Of
War, Floyd, agreed with Burnside to arm
large portion of the army with his rife
and induced him to establish extensive
factories for its manufacture. The works
were no sooner completed than another
gunmaker offered Floyd pecuniary in
ducements to break his contract with
Burnside, who was ruined in consequence.
Assigning all his property to his creditors
Burnside came to this city without dol
lar, sold his sword and uniform in Chat
ham street, and went west in search Of
employment. He found it in the Office of
the Illinois Central, where, as soon as his
energies and capacities became known, he
received q salary Of $1,000 a year. OF
this sum he paid one-half regularly to his
creditors, until, by the help Of timely
legacy, he was enabled to hquidate his
debts in full"

"There is one mill in Cincinnati which

straw, and they can make it at Ia fair profit
for nine cents q pound. We asked
manufacturer why other mills did not 20
into that. His answer was that the art Of
making it was q secret and. patented-that
Il would cost about ten thousand dollars
to put up unnecessary machinery sndfI-
tures for it.; that it would take at least six
months time, and that he hoped by that
time rags would be down to the old price,
when paper could be made IS chsaply from
rags IS from straw. So that pretty sffsc-

A Worthy Example for Young Ladies.

A Worthy Example for Young Ladies.
The Wabash Qndiana) Express says an
old lady Of that city, about seventy years
Of age, besides attending to ell the domes-
tic duties Of her household, bought the
yarn and knit six pairs of excellent socks
and three pairs Of mittens, and sent them
to the relief Office, to be sent to our sol
diers whenever most needed, remarking
that if more yarn was furnished she
would knit more socks and mittens. Such
acts need no comment, further than it re-
minds our young ladies that much time is
spent that might be well employed in knit
ting sock or mitten, which would make
glad many a poor soldier during the win
ter.
