On Sunday the Sabbath Schools Of tn.
Methodist, Baptist, and Congregational
churches met in convention at 8 o'clock at
the Congregational church and spent an
hour and a half very probably in singing
and listening to addresses from the Super
intendents and other gentlemen present
There were between four and five hundred
scholars and teachers present, and the sight
was cheering and animating in marked
degree. We do not believe there is town
in the country Of the size Of McGregor
that exceeds us in either shipments of
wheat, and pork, or in the number of bright
Sunday School children. In the Congre.
gational school alone, on Sunday last, as
per report Of the Assistant Superintendent
there were present two hundred and four
officers, teachers and scholars. An Of the
schools seem to be prospecting in an un-
wontcd degree. ....>.a.r,..-r>,y ~.
We understand that the directors Of
this school district had no little trouble in
removing from the upper primary school
those scholars who were sufficiently ad.
vanccd to enter the intermediate. depart
ment. The usual method of separation
failed because the pupils had become so
much attached to their teachers, that they
did not want to 60. Therefore the direct
ors came to make the necessary separation,
and were met by petition from the schol-
ars that they might remain where they
were. This Of course, was out Of the ques.
ton, and was so stated, kindly, yet firmly.
Then came scene. The children broke
out into open lamentations the teachers
caught the infection and wept; the direct
ors found their hearts growing very big,
and getting into their threats, and they, too,
Joined the chorus. Take it all together, it
was scene such as seldom occurs in a
schoolroom, and in the line of emotional
feeling rivalled large Methodist love feast
in olden time. The power of teachers for
good, who have the hearts Of their pupils
in such bonds of affection, rs mark the
relations of Misses Ingersoll and Albright
to the upper primary school, cannot be
computed f; may they long WELD it for good.

Last week We closed our columns for

that ere the TINES should be fairly settled
In the homes of its numerous friends, we
should receive the official intelligence Of the
fall Of Charleston, and the speedy doom OF
the rebellion. We are disappointed.

We had hoped the same old flag, tattercd
and shot-ridden IS it was by rebel balls,
might on the second anniversary Of that
day be again flung to the breeze over the
walls of the old fort, never more to be
hauled down. The reports from the late
attack-which we We publish at some length

Of their time that our iron-clads cannot take
this hot-bed Of treason. The army, per-
haps, may accomplish this result by dc.
tour to the rear of the city; but Of the
success Of this or future attempts no man

We write with sad though not despond-

The Rebel Raid on the Baltimore

The R. bel raid on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, which caused some excitement 10 our
city since Saturday, promises to prove more Of

200 Rebel cavalry, under Col. Mcdonald, ap-
peared at Altmont, II miles west OF Pied mont +,

They comp eled the engineer and fireman to
get up head of steam on the engine and
started it off in the direction ofOakland, with
out seul on board, probably anticipating
that it would run into and destroy train
coming east.
On Sunday afternoon, small bodies of Rebel
cavalry appeared at Cranberry Summit Oak
land and Rowesburg, all about the sa ne time.
At Rowlesburg the enemy made two attacks
on Sunday afternoon, and were both times re-
pulsed.
Despatch q received from Oakland announce
that no Rebels had been seen or heard from in
that vicinity, since Sunday. The bridge be-
tween Altamont and Row lesburg, over the
Youghioghany river is safe.
The attack on Rowlesburg by heenemy was
doubtless TO get possession Of and destroy the

latest accounts, and have been reinforced by
