More Twaddle from Rebel De

CuLPEPPER Court House, Dec. l3.-
Twelve deserters from the rebel lines state
that large numbers of soldiers will take sd /.
vintage of the amnesty offered in the Presi
dents Proclamation as soon as they can
become acquainten with its provisions 1t
is averred that soldiers would have come
over to US in bodies long since if they could
have been satisfied they would not at ouce
have been impressed in the Union service.
No doubt large majority Of North Caro-
lima and Border State troops are heartily
sick of the war and DESTROYS of returning to
their allegiance.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

DRAWING IN Our ScHooLs.-We hear
much talk on the subject of introducing
systematic instruction in drawing in the
common schools Of our city. This is a good
idea, and We hope to SEQ it adopted. Draw.
ing is by many regarded merely as an &C
complishment We regard this as an error.
Properly understood and taught, drawing
is the development and training of those
faculties which can appreciate and repro,
duce forms Of truth and beauty. The im-
portance of developing those faculties among
people whose onward progress depends so
much on the taste, excellence and beauty
displayed In their arts and manufactures, is
beyond question. We suppose that four
out of FIVE of those to whom we are indebt-
ed for our works of art--from the designs
on a. book cover, to the decorations of the
mansion-recsive their education in the
schools of Europe. In our pioneer strug-
giles we had no place for aught save the
necessary. We have outgrown this stage of
existence and can and ought to pay some
attention to that which is appropriate and
beautiful

! Nrw YORK Dec l4-Goy Letch,r,,

New YORK, Dec. l4.-Gov. Letcher's
message to the rebel Legislature of Virginia
concludes as follows: - 5ci 'va
Look at the picture on all sides and it
presents heartful and encouraging pictures.
If we are only true to ourselves, to the
cause, and to the country, we cannot be
overthrow. Is there man who doubts
the result of the struggle? if there be such
a one he is traitor at heart who deserves
to be anathamatized or cast out from
among US. s-g,.ss. r.t.
No State has been more loyal, more faith
full, more devoted, none has contributed
more literally in means and men, none has
barred their breasts more boldly or defiantly
to the storm, and none has sent her reapers
to the harvest of death with more of the self
sacrificing devotion than the Commonwealth
of Virginia. She enlisted for the war after
full consideration and Just appreciation OF
all the consequences which were to follow
separation, and she will be true TO the end.
She never will sue for peace because she
did not bring on this war. She will never
prepare for compromise for she struggles
only for her rights, for liberty and indie
pendence. She will as becomes the mother
of States, stand up boldly and hurl her
scorn and defiance in the face of her foes
until they come to our terms. She will
never consent to treaty nor will she con-
sent to treaty which does not recognize
fully the Southern Confederacy. She knows
what is due to her own dignity and charac,
ter, and she knows what is due to the Con-
fsderacy, and duly will be performed with
scrupulous fidelity, kneeling around the
altar of their country, her sons will swear
allegiance to her and fidelity to the Con-
federate Government, and other prayers will
ascend to Heaven for blessings on Virginia
and the Southern Confederacy
