CHRISTMAS AT Fort WARREN.-Thc
prisoners at Fort Warren were allowed
some extra privileges for the enjoyment
of Christmas. They were well provided
with creature comforts, and made merry
right heartily. Captain Bumpus, Of Com

was nothing like disorder during the day,
ard VIC arc assured thai the rulnored in
science of the prisoners is without foun-
dation in fact. Mr.. Mason walks every
day in the parade ground. Mr.. Slidell is
said to look very untidy about his person

THE GATE CITY,
WEDNESDAY,, -JANL-4RY s.


The Public Schools of this city opened
last Monday without any flourish of trum-
pess,---in very quiet way-in fact SO
quiet that not even all the teachers knew
it. OF course the attendance Of scholars
was slim. As the fact of the opening be-
comes known, the teachers will doubtless
be on hand, and the attendance of schol-
ars will probably increase.
BY the way, can anybody tell what has
become of the School Fund, and whether
the teachers at the last term have been
paid of, and II not, then why not.

Of the opportunity. They represent the Rebels

the Methodist congregation happened to be
blessed with the idea that there existed in Amer

The MARYLAND Episcopal CONVENTION
Animal Meeting Of the Episcopal Convention o
the Diocese Of Maryland commenced yesterd sy
IN Grace Church, Baltimore. Owing to the di.
Nlded sentiment Of the clergy and laity In regard
10 political affairs, and the feeling manifested by

there was much anxiety and curiosity In refer
Snce 20 the meeting Of the Convention. The ses-
sion yesterday, however, passed of without ex.
element. The Bishop, in his address, confined
himself almost entirely to reporting upon his

aiiuson TO the existing troubles were In the fol.
lowing words

RICHMOND, Monday, May s6-All along the right
wing, to-day, the rebels have shown themselves
In strong force. Deserters and contrabands con-
arm the story that Beauregardr is in Richmond,
though none have seen him. The rebels were
cheering loudly over something all this morning;
they are throwing a strong force down to the
river, and are again moving down their army
to the front, a. though they meant to give us
battle.
Three brigades have laid in front of Mechan-
icsville all day, threatening an attack, but we
still hold 1t, though our pckets have been driven
In along the river. We still hold both sides Of
the bridges, and can no doubt hold them. A

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
THE SITUATION.

Up TO noon to-day there was no later news In
Washington from either Union Army than that
published this morning. A dispatch from the
Upper Potomac reached here last night, saying
that there were signs that Jackson's force instead
CT reTeating ont Of the Valley at double quick
time, still fingered in the vicinity Of Charlestown
This cannot possibly be true; As jackson knows
well that TO do so even for forty-eight hours
would inevitably result In the destruction cap
tuTe Of his whole force. The fact that little In
formation Of his movements after fighting Banks
at Winchester has been received here, satisfies us
that he has certainly retrsced his steps almost
precisely as he came east-the route by which
his movements would be least exposed to Union
observation, and least liable to interrogation.
Nevertheless, II Fremont has done his duty, he
must to-day be Intercepted in his retreat, at or
about StanardgyilIe
