Hew Richmond h 10 be TIA

The plan for taking Richmond i
again a matter Of discussion in the pa
pcrs. Two days march along the
Fredericksburg aud Richmond rail
road, says one, viii bring our ar
my 10 point where il can obtain sup.
plies on the Ware, York, James aud
Rappahannock rivers. Three or four
days march from fredericksburg will
bring US in front Of Richmond again,
give the army Of the Potomac a rein
foresment Of 10000 men, besides
wooden and iron-elad gunboats in
abundance"
But how easy 10 prophecy and how
hard 10 fulGI. Dor troops no sooner
reach Fredericksburg than they are
met by a strong force from the rebel
army. Our army halis, makes de-
mands for Surrender, Is refused, threat
ened, and must prepare to force its
way by all the power within lis con
trol. Thus from Friday, The 2lst Of
Nov, 70 Monday, the lst Of Decem-
Der, We have waited in daily expecta.
ton Of battle, aud at this Gate We
hear Of no progress by our army.
But all delays have 4 cause some
where, and many are ready With their
explanations for the failures Of the
past, and full Of promises for the fu.
ture.
There is ono thing, however, that
strikes some Of Us with amazemeni !
and that is the amount Of Information
furnished to the rebels by our city
newspapers. Never since this war
began have these papers taken great
or Liberties IN detailing the real or
probable designs Of our army, than
since Gen. Burnside began 10 move.
If what these papers put forth are
the real plans Of the campaign, and
We think many Of them are quite
probable, then the rebel commanders
have got them all, aud in all their
pariicularities. Aud whether the
plans put forth are those really deci-
ded upon BY the Government or not,
yet they mus, be q great aid 10 the
rebel commanders in the way Of sug-
ges,ion, and help them TO look over
the Geld and provide for any of the
movements which they think most
likely 10 be adopted.

Emancipation In Missouru.

There are but two safe roads open
to emancipation in Missouri. Either
the constitution must be changed,
which will require about three years
to accomplish, and the attempt might
be in danger Of defeat by the rebel
bushwhaekers returning home TO vote
against il; or Congress must aid in
the purchase Of the slaves Of Missouri,
according 10 the Presidents offer.
The Missouri Democrat, the organ Of
the emancipationists, makes an earnest
appeal 10 the representatives, the press
and the people Of the northern states
on this last basis. II asks whether such
aid shall be given TO Missoari as the
president has preferred, and claims
that there is At least an implied obi
CATION ia the case, since Missouri IS tie
first state TO respond to the presidents
offer, sanctioned by Congress, and has
responded decisiyely. But the Dem
ocrat argues tina. the purchase Of the
slaves viii be the cheapest mode Of
ending the rebellion in Missouri. il
insists that as long as slavery remains
the rebel element will exist and make
itself felt. and that il sill continue to
star, up again after each successive
campaign. The fact, too, that Nilsson
RI as a slave state stands directly IN
the way Of free emigration westward
is urged with great force. The Dem
oerai estimates the number Of slaves
10 The state Al not over City thousand,
one half Of whom belong TO disloyal
owners, and are therefore entitled to
their freedom under the eonGscation

on the Sabbath are ordinarily to pack

in policing his Company street, and

They crossed the Potomac not long

They doubtless designed TO capture

HOME MATTERS.

BURR & BURTON SEMlNARY.-
1t will be seen by an advertisement in
The present number Of our paper that
the next term Of this Institution will
commence on the 18th Of Dee, inst.
The following communication from a
Trustee accompanied the advertise
ment
Upon the resignation Of the late
Principal Of the Seminary, at the An
nual meeting Of the Trustees in July,
a vote was passed to expend the sum
of -Four Thousand Dollars for inn
proyements and repairs in and around
the Seminary buildings. AS il was
thought the accomplishment Of this
would necessarily obstruet the OPP
erations Of the School for season,
no appointment was made OF sue
cessor when Mr.. WWkham should re-
tire. AT late special meeting of the
Trustees, it was deemed inexpedient
10 proceed at present with the improve
ments contemplated. In the vacancy
Of the office Of Principal, il became
the duty of the Prudential Committee
TO make provision for the continuance
of the School until a Principal should
be appointed, This has been done by
the arrangement advertised.
Mr., Torrey is well remembered in
Manchester as an able and successful
teacher, and his return TO a depart
ment in the Seminary will lie well
coined. OF Miss Wilson, from more
recent experience in her department,
the same may be said.
The term commences one week lat
err than usual, by reason Of the probs-
BILE detention OF Mr., Torrey At Mont
pelier, be being a representative from
Jamaica, the town Of bis residence.
With regard TO the valuable legacy
recently left to the Seminary by the
will Of Miss Margaret Bnrr, the i'm
preston first gathered from a state
ment in the New York OJSercer con-
corning her beneiactions, that an in
come from The gin would be available
for use from the death OF the tesla
trix, is found to have been erroneous.
II is now aseertained that no portion
either Of principal or interest can ac-
erue to the Institution until four years
after The death Of the last Of two sur
wing sisters Moreover, the legacy,
$4,000 like the same sum be-
queathed by the founder Of the Semi
nary, is directed TO be holden as a
permanent fund, and the annual in
terest Of it only TO be applied for cur
rent uses. II can therefore be Of no
avail at present towards erecting in a
different locality an independent bull
ding for the accommodation a the fe-
male department project which, II
means were in hand, it might be de-
sirable TO accomplish. W.
