SUNDAY SCHOOL CoNvENTIoN.-We I'M
derstand arrangements are being taken in
hand for Union Sunday School Conven-
vention, in this place, on Fast Day, with
both afternoon and evening sessions. 1t
is fair to presume, judging from the sun
day School Concerts, letting alone conven-
tions, that there is no church in town
capable of holding all who may wish to
attend, particularly in the evening. ii
is fact, which calls for an extended
plan of demonstration, that the question
of Sunday School instruction, and how
best to promote it, is enlisting the SYM
pathies of the mass of our citizens as it
never has beforc.-Benniagton Banner.

az The center of our army across the Po-
tomac is now at Warrcnton, and is push
ing the enemy gradually backward. The
rebel army is now beyond the Rappahon-
mock at that point having resisted our ad-
vance only by occasional skirmishing, to
cover their retreat The right wing, Gen.
Banks division, is at Strasburg and Jack
sons force is supposed to be at Wood

which went down the Potomac, is suppos-
ed to be in the vicinity of Fortress Mon

u,ovcd as smooth and level surface is
the result to be attained. The object of
dispOsing of the brush wood is to give
free circulation to the sea breeze ever
attendant and full view over the whole
island as precautiou against the landing
of the enemy in small fiat toats upon ell
Their side unless exposed to the Fort Gar
rison or Tower Battery gurs. There is
no danger to be apprehended from heavy
draught vessels, as landing even in high
tide cannot be effected by such, other
than from the south or south west, which
compels them to pass within short dis
lance of the fort. Fort Taylor is large
and strongly built fort, situated near the
south western portion of the island, about
thirty rods from the main land, and built
upon reef Of rocks several feet under
water, which greatly facilitates the recep-
ton of its stores, dispensing with the ne
cessities of carriage from the transports,
which would otherwise exist. Between
the Fort and main land there is now be-
,ns erected a breastwork of large dimen-
sious rendering the fort impregnable by
land as we'll as sea. The Garrison bull
&
lings, several in number, are large and
commodious, constructed of, wood, and
highly finished. situated one mile
from the Fort. one mile west and
oue.half mile north of the inte-
rior of the island, and is used mostly for
hospital purposes. The defences are but
fel pieces, yet ample to meet all demands
which an enemy can impose, having first

can be here inflicted. The Tower now be-
ing built and we'll advanced towards
completion, has fifty feet base, is to be
fifty feet high, in which is to be mounted

south east corner of the island. should an

Whereas, Philip X. Gleed, administrator of
Thomas Gleed, deceased, of Morrisown, has filed
his bill of complaint, stating in substance that
the said J. w. Ryan of the State of Virginia,

chase money of the premises hereinafter des
cribed, specified in four promisory notes, three
for $1,000 each each payable to Thomas Gleed or

GEN. ScuEycK AND THE SLAvE-CArcnRn.

GEN. ScHEycK AND THE vE-CATcHRR.
Gen. Schenck's arrived at Cum
berland, one of his first decisions, says
correspondent Of an Ohio paper, was very
characteristic. A secesh colonel had sold
his negro to the confederate government,
taking pay, of course, in scrip. The ne
gro, employed in Notifications. managed
to escape to Cumberland, where he spread
himself considerably. = A constable, know
ing the circumstance, and wishing to turn
a penny, had the negro thrown into prison
as an escaped Slave. Gen. Schcnck, hear
ing the fact, sent for the parties. "By
what right" he asked of the constable,
"do you hold this man in prison ?" GAS
a fugitive from service" e" Don't you
know that he escaped from service of the
rebels ?" 20 Yes: but we have law in
Maryland that covers the case, General.
And have law upon which 1t can be
decided Col. Porter, set that negro al
large. and put this constable in his place. >
The astonished snapper-up of trifes was
marched off to the cell lately occupied by
his proposed victim. After being detain
ed there precisely the same number Of
days he had imprisoned the poor darkey
he was set at large, fully impressed with
the belief that your grim-visagcd genera
was not to be trifcd with.

Vow the virginia it to be used up.

In the debate in the Senate, on the Ste

Kansas expressed his opinion that it will

vessel. any large ocean steamer, for in

the Virginia and sink her. He said if he
vas captain of the Minnesota he would
tighten her. except in the stem. and put
her at her highest speed, and run her up
on the Virginia and sink her. The Bos-
ton Commercial Bulletin says on the same
sunject--
'If the Minnesota. or any other vessel
of the same size should run bows on with
speed of IL knots an hour, striking the
Merrimac on her broadsidc, she would
sink her. as for instance, in 1889. the
ship Columbian, 500 tons, lying at Da-
mons wharf, Charlestown, parted her bow
hawser, and swinging with the tide run
bows on against Charlestown bridge, and
cut it through. In 1871, the ship Eli
Whitney of 400 tons, coming up the har-
Dor with her three topsails set run three
quarters of her length into the end of
Long wharf In 1850, ship going up
the Docks in Liverpool became unmanage-
able and run into the stone pier-head,
moving the stones some twelve or thirteen
feet, and doing but comparatively little
damage to the ship. We believe there is
tact and skill enough in our navy to dis
pose Of the Merrimac if she ventures out
Of Norfolk. # F8.#s4#
These segacious and prophetic hints are
getting common, and since half the peo-
pie hereabouts already know what the
project to be tried in Hampton Roads is,
and the rebels are unluestionably we'll in
formed on the subject there can be no
harm in printing the fact that the ocean
steamers Vanderbilt and Arago have been
armed with strong iron prows and are
now awaiting the appearance of the Vir-
GINA to try upon her the experiment sus-
gested 1t is stated that their upper
works are protected by a covering of cot.
ton bales. which are more impervious to
cannon balls than iron. The experiment
will be novel and exciting one, and if it
shall turn out that iron clad vessels can
thus be destroyed by vessels Of superior
speed and momentum. new and important
elements will be introduced into the cal
cculation Of the value Of mailed ships of
war. The Virginia is undoubtedly ready
to come out, and il she does not soon APP
