Mr.. EDlroR.-Wlth your permission we
wish to say lew words Of the Springfield
Wesleyan Seminary and Female Collegiate
Institute.
The Spring Term closed On Wednesday the
9th inst. The examinations in both depart
ments took place On Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. There wer, public literary ex
ercrses on the eVen,ogs OF al these days, and
a lso on Wednesday afternoon.

all the classes, though we were present at the
exercise of most; others were reported to US.

connected with our colleges and seminaries
to say pleasant and Aatering things. Let it
not be once supposed that we stoop to any,
thing OF the kind.
One or two classes were medium nothing
more though ii we could judge correctly,
the fault was not the teachers. 6lost OF the
classes were extraordinarily good few
we're decidedly brilliant In these last in
stances the praise was due partly to teachers
parity to scholars. 1t might not be udicious
or wise to mention these classes Ivy name
We VIII only say that the classes In Greek
and Latin, under the tutcIage of the new and
young Professor, G. p. Flanders, were with
out fault. We never saw students with the
same amount OF previous drill appear better
The Institution has been exceedingly fortu
nate in the selection of Professor of An
cient Languages.
We had heard the Prcceptress, Miss f. A.
Harrington, unexceptionabIy spoken OF in
terms CT high praise. What VIC saw fully
corroborated these commendatory reports.
The two teachers above mentioned are com.
paratlvely new in the school. For the good
OF the institution, as well as the children OF
our Methodist families in this part OF the
State, We hope that they may long remain.

The House Of Representatives, did severa
good things on Monday the 9th inst, among
which are the following, as the report shows:
|. A resolution repeating previous resolu-
tior to purchase of Gales and Scaton certain
sets OF Annals and Register of Debates which
was adopted by vote Of &c to AS. The reso
luton thus repealed was offered by Mr.. Walton,
the member from this district, as Chairman of
the Printing Committee, and gave nice little
Job to the publishers of the National Intelligent
Ger. The n Y. Tribune sharply pitched into
it, which led to controversy in that paper
with Mr.. Walton, and also led, undoubtedly,
to this action of the House. reversing by very
decided vote its former action
:. A resolution, offered by Mr.. Nixon of New
York, requesting the President to instruct the
officers OF the army, commanding in rebel States,
to issue proclamation that the army be sub
sisted, as far as practicable, upon the property
Of all those III rebellion, and those who give
aid and comfort to the enemies of the United
States, which was passed by IA vote of SO
against 80. In this way rebels may be made to
understand that rebellion is decidedly unproft-
able.
3. A resolution, offered by Mr.. Collax of In.
diana, that the judiciary Committee be in
structed to report bill modifying the fugitive
slave law, 50 as to require jury trial IN all cases
whore the person claimed denies under oath that
he is slave, and also requiring any claimant
under said act, to prove that he had been loyal
to the government during the present rebellion,
which passed by a vote Of II against 33.

The REBEL STRENGTH AT RICHMOND. The
N. Y. Times states that Rev. DR.. Styles, form
erly of the Mercer Street Church, in that city
and who has resided in Richmond for the last
year, states in private letter recently received
by friend in New Haven that the rebel force
in and about Richmond numbers 100000 we'll
disci pllned men, determined to make desperate
fight before yielding the city. There are var-
Gus rumors, Also from other sources, suggesting
the probability that the bes, part of Beaure-
CARDS army has been transferred to Richmond
Both OF these statements may be true, though
we don't believe either one of them. But,
whether true or not, the forces that will attack
the rebels at Richmond when the battle is finally
opened, will be the largest and best appointed
army of modern times. and though the contest
may be bloody we have no fears of the result.
The larger the force of the rebels the more com
pete and overwhelming will be the result of q
defeat to their arms. We are willing they
should risk what is iclt of their Coniederacy up
on the hazard OF single battle, for thus the end
will the sooner be reached.

GEN. FREMo,T's MARCH.-A Western paper
thus speaks of the recent march Of Fremont's
forces over the mountains from franklin to the
Shenandoah Valley:
d" The march Of Fremont from Franklin to
Strasburg and beyond is u most incredible one.
and one that will never be appreciated by those
who have not seen an army Of twenty or twenty
five thousand men on the move. He made over
a hundred miles in less than IA week and that
too, with the most limited transport ton that
was probably ever assigned to a command of the
same size He had to make his march over half
dozen ranges and spurs of mountains. lie had
to cross all the various intersections and comb
nations OF the Shenandoah, with all their noun
tain streams. Yet he came to time. He was
bound to come to time when he left Franklin, if
1t was in the limits of human endurance to do
SO. lie himself led the advance from the start,
and with his maps and guides plotted the way,
.lls march was almost second crossing of the
Alps, and great deal faster time, in proportion
to the facilities at hand was made by him than
was made by Napoleon.

EMANCIPATION. The National Intelhgencer
and the Evening Star at Washington, two pa
pers that circulate quite largely among South
ern people, have taken decided ground in favor
of the Presidents emancipation policy. The
Baltimore American has before taken the same
ground. And the State Convention of MSsou-
ri had better revise its action. 1t is decidedly
behind the sentiments Of the really loyal men
Of the Border STATES, and Is wiltuliy - blind to
the signs Of the times. - However, there is
some consolation in knowing that Slavery must
die in Missouri whether the officials oppose
emancipation or not The people of the State
will soon settle the question for themselves and

ASSUMPTION. H., Feb. II, 1862.
The semi-sccessionists Of the Convention
are playing q smart game. 1t is, to get
people to sign petitions asking them
to pass their Constitution without sub
mission to the people. understand that all
those Of known secession sympathies and ul-
ira pro-slavery sentiments arc signing this
memorial. They hope by the success of this
conspiracy to folst another Lccompton Consti-
tuition upon the people, and to bring into pow
er parcel Of political hacks hostile to the
Government.
II the thing is general, look out Tor forgery
and rascality. It is one Of the Last resorts.
Yet their eloyen foot is plainly seen: They
wish an organization before our gallan1t, sol
dlers return, knowing large majority Of them
are loyal, and would spurn such a 1oathsomc,
semi-secession outrage. hope for tue 1onol
and future happiness Of our State, that it may
not be premeditated arrangement to swlndit
us out OF our rights as freenlen.
Truly yours, &c,

Editors Chicago Tribune:
Let us not forget, in this time Of exultation,
to keep promises 1ate5y made by Us. 4 few
months since, when rcverses and anxieties
clouded our sky, under proclamation Of our
rulers acknowledging God to be the disposer
of all events, We vent to Him, solemn1y be-
secch1ng Elm to give us victory, and pron11s-
ing that to Him should be tue praise. He has
given us Sictory-let us remember our vow.
Let us see to it that we do not permit our
selves, even in the secrecy Of our own hearts,
to whisper, "By the might Of our own right
arms we have gotten us this triumph" The
same jealous God with whom Moses dealt on
Sinai is our God to-day. "He will not suffer
His glory to be given to mother" It is God
who has put courage into the hearts Of our sol
dicrs and brought victory to our banners Let
us humb1y and gratefully, rs nation, and as
| individuals, now acknowledge it.
