THE WAR.

1t is is rumored at the Brooklyn navy
yard that the sloop-ofwar John adams
is to be raced and turned over to Capt.
Ericsson, to be iron-plated.
Com. Foote'S expedition, consisting of
eight gun-boats and eight mortars, took
possession of Hickman, on Saturday af-
ternoon. The same military necessity
that compelled them to evacuate Colum-
bus, has also operated here, and Commo-
dore Foote found it deserted.
Our success at New Madrid has been
even greater than was first reported
Twenty-Five pieces Of heavy artillery, two
batteries of field artillery, 800 mules and
horses, tents for an army of twelve thous-
and men, and IN immense amount of 9TH
er property.
The battle at Pea Ridge, Arkansas,
was one of the most desperate that has
been fought during the rebellion. The
rebel force is stated at $4,000. AS near
rs could be ascertained our loss is 600
killed and about 1000 wounded. The
rebel surgeons who came TO dress the
wounds of their fallen acknowledge loss
of LOO killed, and 1000 wounded
We took 1900 prisoners and thirteen
pieces of artillery.
Gen. Mcclellan has issued an address
TO his army from his headquarters, at
Fairfax Court House, that has the clear
ring of the short and soul-strring adj
dresses with which Napoleon used to fire
his army. He calls upon his men for
great and heroic exertions, for rapid and
long marches, and desperate combats.-
II is evident from this that the army will
not rest in ignoble case at Manassas, nor
will the rebels be allowed TO erect defen-
ces on the line Of the Rappahanock.

must pay the fiddler. That is all there

to fork over, they, or at least most of
them, will inwardly conclude that they
are paying "too dear for the whistle."
The great injustice of it all is, that those
who have resisted political anti-slavery
with all their power, who have thou
sand times warned the people of the in
evitable result, must bear equal burthens
with the incendiary abolitionist who has
brought this load of debt upon the coun-

political anti-slavery leaders and southern
conspirators could be made TO pay the

Letter from j. M Gregory, superin'
tendent of Public Instruction.

ANN ARBoR, MARCH 10, 1862.
G. B. ALBEE, Esq, DEAR SIR; Yours
of the 5th inst. has been received. Your
School Board have acted clearly within
their legal powers in establishing the reg
ulations, you state, 10 secure punctual
and regular attendance. Regulations of
similar character are in force in a con-
siderable number of our most prominent
districts, and are generally approved as
tie most effective remedy for great and
perniciouS eva.
No man can claim TO exercise his rights
in such way as to impair the value Of
the rights of others; and, certainly, no
one can claim right to so use, or abuse
rather the public school as to greatly less
en- its advantages to others. Yet it is a
notorious and easily proven fact, hardness
and irregularty of attendance retards the
progress and Injuries the interest of the
whole school, of those who are punctual
and regular as well as others. The evil
is of such magnitude and consequence
that the most stringent remedies are not
only allowable but necessary for its abate-
mont. l can not now state precisely the
number of schools in which such rules are
in force, but they are quite common in
union school districts.
AS to the expulsion of pupils, the law
does not prescribe the manner in which
it shall be accomplished. The general
authority is vested in the Board, and they
must exercise their discretion as to meth
DDS of procedure. After service of notice
on the parents of tho pupil expelled, l
suppose he is trespasser if he still in
trudes into the school room. The teacher
should be instructed to receive him with
no classes, nor furnish him any instruc-
ton. If he still persists in coming and
disturbing the school, ! presume the
School Board or the teacher under their
direction may lawfully proceed, without
unnecessary violence, to eject him from
the school room.
Yours respectfully,
J. M. GREGoRY.

ingly taken great pains TO procure the ex-
act truth of the matter. We correct our
former statement. The conversation did
not take place in the cars; but it did take
place in the Michigan Exchange Hotel,
