Gen. ROsserRns VIndIeates HImselG.
General Rosecraus having been assailed
by certain newspaper and Congressional
critics, as indeed nearly all our generals
have been, sends letter Of defense to Adj
jutant General Thomas, in which he says !:
The statements are formed with artful
vagueness, giving neither places, dates, nor
names of authorities. The only thing def :.
mite aud certain appears to me to be the
aHtmus Of the author. But, notwithstaud-

800 miles to guard, aud 10000 TO AZ. 600

etrated by few aud narrow roads. I under-
take TO say that all along that frontier bor-
der, and over all that area, peace and OUT
etpess have prevailed, and, with the excep-
ton Of one incursion of rebel brigands, in
the latter part of December; fewer thefts,
robbeFies and outrRges have been perpetFa-
ted on loyal citizens, than have been com.
mitted during the same period Iof time in
the city of New York.
The brigand incuFsiOn alluded 70. was in
the vicinity of Sutton, and was thoroughIv
punished, and the facts reported to head
quarters by telegram and noted on nv de.

were reports of loyal citizens in Hamp-
shire, Hardy and Pendleton counties being
outraged by guerrillas and horse-thieves
about six weeks ago, and the inhabitants
of Tucker were greatly alarmed about
them. But wish tito be distinctly noted
that those counties were then in the de.

Good News from general Banks, De-
nRFtmanG

We have the following highly agreeable
news, received last night at headquarters,
from General Banks Department
General Banks yesterday drove the en-
envy from. Edinburg to New Market, aud
took many prisoners"
This successful movement brings our
troops under Banks TO the edge of the
Rockingham line, say about ,htrty-ive
miles from stauutou. General HiIrOy's
force is at Monterey, less than thirty FIVE
miles from the same place The rebel
Jackson is slowly falling back on Staun-
ton, ard we are pressing him close all the
time. We presume that he has arrange
ments made with the Gordousville people
TO protect him at staunton and secure his
safe passage By rail to the former place.
The great object Of our Generals seems to
be 10 bring on battle with him before he
can get to staunton, and prevent him
being much help to the rebels elsewhere,
or they 10 him. We expect to hear of a
combined movement upon him by Banks
and Milroy, before many days.

As mas beeu already noticed in our COL

unanimous vote. has determined 70 abolish
the existing tariff, in favor of absolute free
trade with all countries except the United
States. This is, of course, another desper-
ate effort to win the favor OF England and
France. 1t is a plain offer ofthe exclusive
trade of the South TO those countries, pro-
vided they will but oblige poor Davis by
lending him a helping hand. The unmis-
taxable rebuff with which Davis has met
in all his efforts to ensnare foreign powers
into his quarrel, would have taught man
OF more sense and less impotence that fur
Their attempts in that line must prove abor-
tive. The naughty independence and chit

have thought, would have led rebel ennis

The'policy of the rebels towards foreign

reputation forever in history. Their pre-
tensions at foreign courts have belied their
professions at home They affirmed, as
the leading cause of their separation from
the North, that their alliance with us put
slavery in danger they then sent out
Yancey to England to sOlemuly assure
Earl Russell that slavery had nothing to do
with the quarrel, and to quote in proof, the
conservative tone of President Liucolu's
inaugural. They sent Mason to the same
Government with the INDUSTRIOUS falsehood
that three hundred vessels had run the
blockade; and were rebuked in the
British House of Commons by the em-
Phatic declaration of law officer Of
the Crown that two hundred and nine
ty-eight of those cases were bogus. They
started their pasteboard government with
a grand proclamation that its chief cor
ner stone should be slavery-a distinct

other nations as the acme of civilization;

clamation, send their emmissaries to Eng

ABOUT AN EXHIBITION.

We had the pleasure, on the evening of the
anniversary of Washington's birthday, of being
present at a school exhibition, in our neighboring
borough, Bloody Run, with which we were
particularly delighted. 1t was a joint affair,
we believe, between the Sabbath schools and the
day school the whole under the control of
PROF. j. G. CLARKsoN, the excellent teacher
of that place, to whose energy and ability the
performance owed its success. The proceeds of
the exhibition were to be appropriated toll lau-
dable object of procuring a library for the Sab
bath schools of that place.
When we say that we were delighted with
the performances, we but re-echo the sentiment
of every one who was present Such propriety
in selection of pieces such tasteful arrange
ment and consummate skill in performance we
have seldom witnessed on similar occasions.
Among the many pieces, the following were
gems, and elected the appreciation of the au-
dience 'In tie Light In the Light" "Wash-
ington crossing The Dela,oare "DcaM Of PuIas-
Xii" and ".Washngton's Dream Of Liberty" The
personiication of the "Goddess Of Liberty" was
exquisite; and the tableaux made more beauti-
full pictures than artist ever conceived, or could
possibly execute.
We do not, generally speaking, approve of

A CHAPTER ON BOYS.

Boys! What aworld of frizzled heads, dirty
faces, chapped hands, and crooked, toeless boots
thissimple monosyllable suggests Boysi living,
moving institutions of mischief and sport! Crea-
lures, who run, tumble, scratch, bite, scream,
chatter, and hammer their way through the
world with the greatest possible impudence and
nonchalance They are the things which so
worry the dignity Of Old Ferule, who tries to
keep them in rows, but fails, for they are like
crooked pins-can't be kept straight. They
turn the house up side down, keep'a continual
uproar in the streets, batter things every way,
make life misery, and threaten to pull creation,
to pieces. They are all pervading They are
found in the woods in the fields, in the streets,
in the attic, in the cellar, inthe barn, inchurch,
in taverns and saloons, in stores and shops, on
trees, under ground and ever the n,
same noisy jostling, original being, They wat
not upon care, but away they dash upon their
reckless train, apparently needing nothing-lost
in the gddy whirls of their sports--yet not
single move is made, not a word is uttered py
the Old Governor but their ready eye and ear
catches it and lays it up in their storehouse q
incidents for future consideration.

EFFECT OF THE WESTERN SUCCESSES.

The triumph in Kentucky has caused much
dismay among the agitators in Congress and the
personal enemies of Mcclellan. I'll begin to
see that these victories are the effectual jnstif
cation of the generals schemes and their own
condemnation. Roscoe Conkling told the House
a day or two ago that the victories in Kentucky
were in his judgment largely due to the labors
of the committee on the Conduct of the War!
To similar effect is the following from the
Washington correspondent of the New York
EDenmg POST
s'In other words, those members of Congress
who urged speedy action in the field are to be
crushed, if possible, with the very news of VIC
tory which comes from the South and West. It
is but Just to these gentlemen to state. an un-
questioned fact-that the late victories are owing
almost entirely to the immense outside pressure
which has been brought to bear upon some of
our leading generals. 1t is very convenient for
some gentlemen to deny this fact, but the state
ment is susceptible ofproof.'
To prove this it would be necessary to show
that the "outside pressure completed the gun.
boats manned them, brought down the ord
nance from Pittsburg for which they had to
wait, raised the rivers to the proper height, and
thus rendered possible the movement which the
army has been SO long waiting to make.

BORROWING AND LENDING.

There seems to be some infatuation about O.
loan, esecially loan of money. No sooner
does one man manageto extract five dollars from
the pocket of another, and that other a long ac-
auaintance and friend than astrangness seems
to sit on the borrowers part towards the ben
efactor, the one accommodated appears to con-
ceive sudden and unaccountable dislike to the
one who was willing to accommodate him and it
is tento one if theman receiving the five dollars,
does not very shortly, shun the one who loaned
it altogether and even 60 so far as to cut him
dead when he does chance to meet him. There
is a concealed perversity in human nature on
this point, which isnext to impossible to account
for Why it is that man turns on his bene-
factor in this fashion, passes the reach of all or
dinary comprehension. yfa
But not few shrewd and dry individuals
take advantage of this quality in the human
character, to get rid Of disagreeable and impor-
tunate acquaintance entirely. We know q la
dy who said she married her husband at last,
just to get clear of him. He had bothered her
more than half to death, probably, with his at
tentions, and could not, or would not, see that
he was excessively disagreeable to her; and SO
she up and married him, to bring the matter to
an end! 1t is exactly the same with men who
are glad enough to lend others small sums Of
money, feeling pretty certain that they will be
troubled with them no longer. The late Amos
Lawrence, of Boston, once told deserving
young merchant who came to ask for assistance,
that he would gladly give him the aidherequired,
if. when next he saw his benefactor coming
up, OF down the street, the young man; would
not turn suddenly off up by-street! 1t ap-
pears that Mr. Lawrence therefore, understood
the whole mystery Of this business. But sum
it all up, there is no mistake that many man
is cheaply got rid of for an acquaintance, whom
loan of five or ten dollars is sufficient to make
cblivious to ones existence,

All nature has its kindred forms,

The oceans kindred to its storms,
The earth is kindred to each star.
Each flow'r that feels the mornings breeze
Doth mingle fragrance with the air;
The land is kindred TO the seas,
In shapes both hideous and fair.
The hills and valleys are allied
Tho mountains frown on wales below
They lie congenial, side by side,
Beneath the skies that DER them glow.
The brook is kindred to the spring,
The slreamlct TO the rivers flow;
The lakes the oceans dirges sing,
Der each the ships sail to and fro.
The eagle from his lofty flight
Stoops back to earth to rest his wing;
And gazing from his craggy height
Hears little warblers sweetly sing.
The mighty oak, in lofty pride,
Stands monarch of the forest trees;
And vet, the woodbinc by its side
Climbs up the trunk 10 kiss the breeze.
The lion with his kingly strength,
Oft lets his 'vengeful anger calm,
And in the sun doth stretch his length,
Beside the tiger, or the lamb
And thus all nature is allied
In form, in lineament and love;

a benefit, but such as the one to which we al
