Gen. BuraSile'S Expedition.

This expedition commenced to be
formed six weeks ago, or Immediately
upon the departure Of Gen. Sherman,
for Port Royal, and, as was popularity
understood, was to follow it down the
Southern coast. Whether this origin
al plan has been changed or not does
not appear but it has been limited
that Burnside is to run up the Kappa
hammock river, to some point between
Fredericksburg and Richmond, and
there establish himself in the rear of
the enemy's position at Manassas.
The facts that his naval equipment
partakes largely Of fat.boats, and
vessels of draft suitable to inland
waters, would indicate this. However,
time will show. The expedition con-
sists Of the following troops:

5th r. l. Battery, Lieut.. Geo. G.. Hardness.
The troops form two brgades, Com
manded by Gen. John G.. Foster and
Col. Harland. The naval brigade
marines, etc, is commanded by
Col. VIM. A. Howard. The feet is
commanded by Capt. Samuel +. Haz-
ard, L. S. n. There are thirty ves-
sells in all with countless number of
flat-boats. The expedition is hardly
second in magnitude and Importance
to that Of Sherman and Dupont. We
hope it may prove even better than
that in results.

YOUNG LADIES.

Did you ever think what contrast
there is between the young lady of
to-day and the one of fifty, or even
score of years ago? Then lady was
one who could take care of herself,
could sing in plain musical English,
wash, bake, and cook all kinds of food,
milk a COW if necessary, and make
herself useful generally. If she did
not she was called lazy,-that was all
there was about it. But now we have
no lazy women,--they are all delicate.
The modern young lady is strange
compound of dress and nerves,-by
which we mean those Exquisite sus-
capabilities which cause her to shud-
der when she sees n wash-tub and
scream at the sight of cow. She is
a living image made to be waited up
on. She sings divinely," and plays
the piano "exquisitely," but neither
one of these affects you as much as
the jabbering of a North American
Indian" for it is not half as intclligi-
BILE. She lounges about in the'morn-
ing, crochets or embroiders little,
then dresses herself up, and promen-
AIDES for the benefit of some "genteel
equisite" Thus pass her days. Now
you need not tell me that old bache.
lors are forever harping on women's
faults,-that we do not find any such
ladies,-that they are the same they
always were. 1t is no such thing. 1t
is an uncommon thing to find young
lady nowadays that half pays for the
food she eats. She is nothing but a
bill of expense to her father, and a
larger one to her husband, for he not
only has her to support, but one or
two hired girls to wait upon her also.
My advice to every young man is to
beware Of a fashionable young lady.
Never marry the girl who sits in the
parlor while her mother stands in the
kitchen. 1t won't pay. X.

REcASrArIoN OF JAMES REpPArH.--We
find the following in the last number
of the Pine and Palm, which is edited
by Rcdpath:
Having become sincerely convinced
that many of the political doctrines
which | have advocated in my writ
ings are dangerous and abhorrent to
the higher insight the murderous
policy, for example, of melting the
slaves to insurrection, which have
urged repeatedly. and with terribly
mistaken zeal--I wish to announce
here that shall retire from any par
ticipation in the political management
of this Journal, excepting for the pur-
pose of retractinS past errors, until
such time as | feel that | have attain
ed clearer and more humane and
Christian view Of the duties of the
freeman to the enslaved. Ire
pudiate my war doctrines, utterly and
forever. JAMES REDPArH.

Gen. SchOepf.

This brave soldier, now command
ing a division of the Federal army in
Kentucky, was at one time porter
in New York hotel. He followed
the same vocation in Washington,
when, attracting Mr.. Hollis attention,
the latter gave him a place in the
Patent Office, where for a time he
performed but little more than mcnial
services. When Mr.. Holt was trans
fcrred to the War Department he took
Schoepff with him. An important sur
vey in Virginia chanccd to be needed,
and Schocpf was intrusted with it.
This brought him under the eye of
Gen. Scott and his military education
and requirements were for the first
time brought to light. Thenceforward
his rise was sure. OF course Schoepff'
had secured good military educa-
ton, and seen service in the old coun-
try, he being like so many Of our
brave defenders, an adopted citizen.

The rebels in eastern Missouri,
along the North Missouri Railroad,
have made their work of destruction
complete. The road will be closed for
at least a month, and the damage is
estimated in money at not less than
100000. We have troops in that
quarter, and only hope they may be
able to put some of Gen. Hallcck's Sc

The Board of Education adjourned
on Saturday, 9th ult., without making
any radical change in the present
school system. The independent-dis.
trict system was proposed, and its
merits thoroughly discussed, but it
was thought impracticablc to abolish
the township districts. The Board of
Directors are to elect President and
Treasurer from the district at large,
instead of from their own number !;
a Secretary, also, is to be elected in
like manner, instead of the Township
Clerk being Secretary. Under the
law as amended, it will be the duty of
the Secretary, instead of the sub-direc-
tors, to make list of the names Of the
heads of families and the number of
children between the ages of five and
twenty-one years. The German and
other languages are permitted to be
taught under certain circumstances
1t is made the duty of the County Su-
pcrintendcnt to visit each school in his
county, at least once in each year to
hold public examinations of applicants
for teachers certificates, on the second
Tuesday of April and September of
each year and to grant private cx.
aminations only in certain prescribed
cases. The Faculty of the State Uni
versity is made Board of Examiners,
having authority to grant State Ger
tificates to teachers, which shall be
perpetual. unless revoked for immoral.
ity or other sufficient cause. These
are the principal changes made in the
law there are some minor alterations
which we need not notice. The effect
of the amendments made, VIC think,
cannot fail of improving our schools

to notice hereafter.

Affairs in Georgia and South Carolina:

The Richmond Enquirer of recent date
