Programme Of the Distribution Aca-
deniy O.. ftac Visitation, 4. eoi. "a 1.
Iowa. July Ist, G~G2.

Among the very many pleasant remi-
nesccnces to which in after life the mind
will revert with rapture and delight, will
be He day Of the distribution vi prelnl-
unrS by tie learned and pous sisters oi
the visitation in this eity, on July lst
1869. Such cs.A.btiots are euinently
calculated TO call into activity the warm
est, pufesi and most devotional feelings
of our nature. For, can one witness
a. host OF talented and highly accom-
pllshcd young ladi.s, destined ere long
perchaAce, u become real actresses on
the worlds stage; destined in time to be-
come the mothers Of heroes, statesmen
and patriots; destined 10 giYe6 tone and
character to society, without feeling a
glow Il honest pride, and Without q lhrnh-
bing heart and fearless eye.
The musical performance OF the young
lalies would haze greed any drawing or
concert room, while the poetry by the
Misses Miller, Floyd and Sanford would
have the appreciation of Homer himself.
And now, Nh i nerec war is sweeping
over our fair Republic, are the learned
and self denying ladies Of this institution,
deyotne assiduously all their time, ali
their talents, all their unwearied efforts,
To the highest culture of which they are
susceptible, the minds of our daughters
TO fit them for God and society.

How THE REBEL STEAMER MERRIMAc
IS TO BE SUNK.-In the debate in the
Senate on the Stevens floating battery,
Senator Pomeroy, of Kansas, expressed
his opinion that it will soon be demon
strated that any wooden vessel any
large ocean steamer, for instance, can
run down such a battery as the Virgin
ia and sink her. lie said if ne was
captain Of the Minnesota he would light
en- her, except in the stem, ard put her
at her highest speed, and run her upon
the Virginia and sink her. The Boston
Commercial Bulletin says on the sub
ject:
If the Minnesota or any other vessel
of the same size, should run bows on
with a speed of twelve knots an hour,
striking the Merrimac on her broadside,
she would sink her. AS for instance, in
1889, the ship Columbian, 500 tons, ly-
ing at Damon's wharf, Charleston, part
ed her bow hawser, and swinging with
the tide, run bows on against Charleston
bridge, and cut it through.
In 1871, the ship Eli Whitney, of 400
tons, coming up the harbor with her three
topsails set, run three-quarters of her
length into the end Of Long Wharf In
1880, a ship going up the Docks in Liv-
erpool became eunmanageable and run into
the stones pier headed, moving the stones
some twelve or thirteen feet, and doing
but comparatively little damage to the
ship. We believe there is tact and skill
enongh in our navy 10 di spose of the
Merimac if she ventures out of Norfolk
The Springfield Republican says thes'
sagacious and prophetic hints are getting
common, and, since half the people here
abouts already know what the project t
be tried in Hampton Roads is, and tn,
rebels are unquestionably well informed
on the subject, there can be no harm il
printing the fact that the ocean steamer
Vanderbilt and Arago have been armed
with strong iron prows and arc nov
awaiting the appearance of the Nirginii
to try upon her the experiment suggest
ed. II is also stated that their uppe
works are protected by a covering of cot
ton bales, which are more impervious t
cannon balls than iron The expert
ment will be novel and exciting one
and il ii shall turn out that iron-cla
vessels can thus be destroyed by vessel
of superior speed and momentum, ne,
and important elements will be inhoduc
ed into the calculation of the value {
mailed ships of war, The Virginia
undoubtedly ready to come out, and
she does not soon appear, it will indicat
/ that the rebels have lost confidence i
her impregnability.-Lou, Jour.

in view, and as the star assembled in altis
tude, became still better seen. In point
of brilliancy il does not differ greatly
from the we'll known "sixth star ia the
trapezium" of Orion.
This discovery must be regarded as
one of the very highest interest in side
real astronomy at this time, on account
of the connection il may have with the
phenomenon of Orbital motion of Sirius.
But whether this newly discovered min
ute star is physically connected with
Sirius or whether its proximity to that
star results solely from the small angle
under which il appears, and the smaller
star is far more remote, or even still
much nearer us than Sirius, remains to
be determined. The probabilities are in
favor of its beng physically associated
with the larger star. In case it is physi-
cally connected with Sirius, it is of the
highest astronomical interest to know
whether IL is the non-iuminuus body ;"
which the astronomers have assigned to
Syrius to account for its anomalous
motion.
That the deviatiOns in the proper
motion of Sirius indicate its connection
with some body hitherto undiscovered,
is clear from the independent deduction
of Bessel, Peters, and more recently those
of Mr.. Stafford, of the Cambridge Obser-
yatory. The Two latter astronomers have
concurred in assigning period of fifty
years to Sirius, in which time it performs
a revolution round some object hitherto
undiscovered. 1t is highly improbable
that Sirius revOlves round so small a
body as this little star would seem to be
as centrol attracting mass, but the
laws of syn0mics assure us that two
bodies connected with aud revolving
about each other in space, do revolve
about their common centre Of gravity,
which is situated in line joining them
and nearest the greater mass. This
being so, the larger star would appear TO
describe an orbit round the common
centre of gravity. Further observation
and calculation will be necessary to make
out the true character of this little star.
From so slight an examination of this
great telescopeit would be impossible to
declare its highest capacity, or the limit
beyond which it becomes powerless.
Mr.. Tuttle closed his remarks. saying
that it was matter of just national and
individual pride that our countryman
struggling against adverse circumstances
had at length rivalled the best opticians
abroad, and had succeeded in building
so noblean instrument.

The Secretary of War has, it is stated,
issued an order stopping the release or
parole of prisoners taken at Fort Donel-
son. II is known that an agreement for
the exchange of prisoners was made
some weeks ago, under the direction Of
the Secretary of War, by General Wool
with General Cobb, by which all of our
prisoners were 70 be delivered The next
day under flag of truce. A boat was
sent TO receive them, but no prisoners
were brought down. The same was re-
peated for two days without success.
Explanations were demanded by Gen.
Wool, but none were furnished. Pend
ing this breach of faith by the rebels all
release or exchange will be refused by
our Government.

The SIZE OF Our Notwithstanding an
army of 100000 men formed into a line,
single rank, they will show a front of
twenty-three miles. Should the gener-
alissimo wish to make rapid inspection,
if he had the appliance of a parallel rail-
road track and a fast locomotive, he may
run down in front of the line in a quar-
Ter Of an hour, and make a hasty review.
If mounted on his charger, at a smart
trot it would require over half hour,
The respectable army, formed in hollow
square, in double rank, would be nearly
three miles from side TO side, showing
ON each front a fraction under three
miles. The inclOsure would cOtain abont
$500 acres, an area equal to some inn
mense Indian corn fields in Illinois.
