The Worlds correspondent ct Wa:rentown
brings ths following to-day:
The advanced forces are now resting on the
kappshannock, our pickets now extending to that
stream. The rail road 10 now in running order to
Cedar Run, within two miles Of Warrsnton june
ton, l3 miles from the Rappah annock river 1t
will take several days to complete the bridge over
Cedar Hun, inasmuch 40 the recent storm has
swollen oil the streams very much Neither Ball
nor Cedar Runs can be torded at present, and no
troops can move except by rail roal.
"The cavalry pickets extend some distance south
east Of Brentsviie. and ekirmshes with the rebel
scouts are Of daily occurrence. As the army pro-
ceeds south the country begins to present fewer Of
the revagss Of the enemy, thosgh in no locality
has there yet beea discovered suficieat supplies
to support either tho laen horses for more th
ono day. Tho reports OF the enemy's position are
uncertain. Contrabands from F.rquier and Cul-
pepper cay that the rebel army has d~indled
upon kichinend ss rapidly possible, leaving no
thing but scouts and guerilla in the TO watch
our movements. It would seem from this tha
the rebels are not reinforcing Mngruder and intend
to make . stand this side Of Richmond"

featuring companies, without resort to
the Legislature.
1t was" says an able writer in the
Nev York Times, during his admins
tration that the Legislature of that State,
passed the celebrated Habeas Corpus Act,
which has been so much more generally
denounced than understood, But this Act
is still among the Statute Laws of the
State, and future age will do justice to
the spirit of the people who passed and
sustained it. Governor Williams made it
the subject of an elaborate vindication in
his last annual Message"
In his annual message to the Legisla-
ture in 1851, he announced that " at the
expiration of the political year, winch has
just commenced, my official relations to
the Legislature and the people will cease,
nor shall l again be candidate for the
office to which / have been elected"
He was in 1927 appointed one of the
State Commissioners for Common Schools
"a board appointed, to select and recon-
mend, suitable text books, for the use of
the common schools, and to have a gen.
eral supervision over the educational af-
fairs of the State.
He was member of the Corporation of
Middlebury College from 1925 to 1S43-
and was honorary Vice President and
Member of several learned, scientific and
historical societies, and at the time of his
death was President of the Society of the
Alumni of Williams College.
He received the degree of Master of
Arts from Middlebury and Williams Col
ieges in 1903, and that of Doctor of Lars
from the former College in 1884.
Governor Williame died very suddenly
at his residence in Rutland, March 9th,
1858, in the list year of his age. APP
proprite notice was taken of his death, by
the Supreme Court of Vermont, then in
session, and by the Bars of Rutland, Ben
nington, Windsor and Washington Coun-
ties.

ANEcDoTE OF SIMON CAMERON

ANECDoTE OF Simon CAMERoN.-A
Pennsylvania, now in the army, relates
to us traditional anecdote of the Secre-
tary of War, which is probably as true as
the posthumous stories of the Juvenile
days of great men generally are; and we
therefore put it on record for the benefit
of his future biographer:
6 1t was the custom aforetime in Penn
sylvania for mothers to place an apple, a
silver dollar and Bible before their chill
dren as soon as they were able to toddle
about, and, with mothers interest and
satisfaction, watch them make their choice.
1t was considered indicative of their more
matured predictions. In accordance
with this custom the mother of the Infan-
tile Simon, as soon as he was able to stand
on his pins, produced the articles and set
them before the child, hoping in her heart
be would select the Bible. But not so
the infant Simon. The future Secretary
of War took somewhat deliberate view,
and with less reverence than King Alfred,
mounted atop the Holy Writ, pocketed
the dollar and commenced munching the
apple. 1t is needless to add that he has
been at that business ever since"
