THE RECENT BATTLES.

There was severe fighting on last
Saturday and Sunday between the
armies of Rosecrans and Bragg.
The first kilograms sent North
stated positively that we had met with
q disastrous reverse; subsequent dis
patches have greatly modified the
impression thus produced, but the
matter is still involved in considera-
bic uncertainty. IL seems certain
however that our forces had to con
tend with greatly superior numbers.
Loss heavy on both sides. 30 lists
of killed or wounded of regiments
from this part Of the country. At
latest advices, Rosecrans maintains
his position, and the army is in ex-
celient condition, all ready for a re-
ncwal OF the fight. Reinforcemcnts
for our army are arriving.
There will probably be another
battle there soon, as the fighting thus
far has not been decisive.
1t IS said the Army Of the Pc
tomac is making an advance.
There is nothingnew at Charles
ton. The stories about Gilmore's
resignation, and Dahlgren's removal,
and Farragut's appointment are de
MED.
The movement Of the Army OF
the Potomac commenced so as Ia
send forward Buford's cavalry
across the Rapidan. The crossing
was effected without opposition. Il
is prophesied that but a feeble
force OF rebels will be found be
tween Meade and Richmond, anC
commanders who have resisted the
accumulated evidence Of heavy de
tachments sent from Lees arm,
southwark, now seem inclined Il
admit the fact, since the news o
the Chattanooga battles has begun
to arrive. Rosecrans is fghtin,
the whole Southern Confederacy.
The Bureau OF Exchange here
received letter a day or two since
from Commissioner Ould at Rich
mond. Informing them that twelv'
thousand prisoners, parolled b,
Gen. Grant, had been returne,

red to the same number OF our pris

CONCERNING THE ACQUISITION
OF KNOWLEDGE.

There is an increasing interest, in
the minds of some of the teachers of
this county, in things pertaining to
their profession and TO education in
general. We see some encouraging
indications around us, and are led to
hope that perhaps the time draws
near when something will be done.
Thus far we have merely been get
ting ready to begin. And we fear
that much even of this preparatory
work remains yet to be done.
There is one great lack among our
teachers; they can never succeed UNI
til this want is supplied. They need
enthusiasm in the pursuit of knowl-
edge. 1t is not enough that they
study carefully the best methods of
Iimparting instruction; they must
have knowledge before they can com
municate it.
Our teachers are influenced too
much 10y a low and unworthy habit
which is universal among people in
this part Of the country, that of es-
timating knowledge according to its
money value. No man will become
truly learned who desires knowledge
chiefly because it will aid him in
business, or in the acquisition OF
wealth. knowledge is desirable for
its own sake. 1t is n good thing, es-
sentially and absolutely; and is to
be sought after because of its inner
ent worth and beauty. No man who
does not seek it with this singlcness
of devotion ever obtains very much
of it.
But most Of our teachers are in
clined to value only such acquisi-
tons n S are supposed to be directly
available in their calling. There is
a general timidity in regard to ut
tempting anything in advance of the
popular demand.
The absence Of any generous and
inspiring enthusiasm among teachers
nourishes II corresponding indiiler
cnce in the pupils. There are very
few of the young people of our coun-
ty who are seeking knowledge will
earnest and persistent effort. We
look around us in vain for manifest
ations of that unconqucrable thirst
for knowledge which creates oppor.
tunities, which upholds the student
in Encouragement. toll and poverty
and ever gravitates resistlcssly to
wards its chosen object.
There is no lack of time or oppor
tunities for young men around us tC
acquire knowledge. Many of then
have abundant leisure. Men have
become eminent for scholarship
whose circumstances were far less
favorable than those which surround
most young men of our acquaint
ance. The time devoted to billiard:
would be sufficient to acquire Ger
man or French, and what is wasted
in lounging ut street-corners, and OF
store boxes, would give one res
pectablc acquaintance with Englisi
literature. 1t is the want of indus
try, of Il worthy aim, and of a higl
and manly spirit, which prevents i'm
provement among our young meu.
There are other aspects of this
subject which we propose to consider
in our paper for next week.
