The intermediate department of our
Union School, under the supervision of
Miss Netlie G. Hubbard, will be trans
ierred to the new school-room, in the base
ment of the Presbyterian Church, on
Monday morning next. The manner in
which this room is finished and furnished
reflects credit, excellent taste and liberal
ity on the part Of those having superin-
tondence of the work. We now have one
public school-room, at least, in our village,
to which we can point with satisfaction
and pride. For this considerable and lib
cral provision, in behalf of the "little
ones," we most heartily thank the school
officers of the district.

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Z, 1863.


The opening of Congress to-day was
largely attended, for at least three hours
before either House met. Their spacious
galleries were filled to overaowing, and
thousands occupied outside halls and cor
ridors. Even the floor of each House
outside of the bar was occupied by dis
tingushed personages. The Russian Of
icers were present. The organization Of
the House passed off without any of those
exciting scenes Anticipated from alleged
disfranchisement Of certain State delega-
tions holding informal certificates of cleo
ton. The House, without debate, decid-
ed not to go behind the broad seal of the
State, and members from all, except
Louisiana, were admitted. The members
from border States, with slight exceptions,
voted for Colfax. lie received all the
vote of the Maryland delegation, but that
of Harris, and those Of Anderson, Smith,
Clay and Randall, of Kentucky. Cox,
of Ohio, did not receive the full democrat
ic vote. The Woods and others concen-
trated on King, of Missouri.
The message will be sent in tomorrow.
1t is still insisted that the President will
submit in it a plan of reunion, embodying
gradual emancipation policy for each
State.
There is great pressure for an inkling
of Secretary Chasc's report, Spectators
are here in great numbers to obtain it in
advance. AT ono time it was determined
to have it put in type at the Treasury
Department. 1t will not be mailed until
tomorrow. 1t is believed that addition
al authority is asked for the issue of more
currency. Notice of a bill of $500 ex-
emption clause was given in the Senate
to-day but Senator Wilson, author Of the
bill, and chairman of the committee, is
aversc to any such legislation.
Mr., Cox will introduce resolution in
few days, urging the President to rake
immediate steps to secure the release of
our prisoners at Richmond.
The military frauds are growing still
larger, and duplicating prominent persons.
Nearly one million of dollars is the amt
now involved.

DIED.


In Crockcry, on the morning of the 3D. inst,
of consumption, Miss JANE BARRINGER,
daughter of Chancellor Barringer, Esq, aged
10 years-tho third member of the family that
has been called away by death within little
over year past In September, 1862, the wife
of his son, Lucius, was instantly killed by fall
ing timbcrs, in an out-door-celar. In the
month of June following his son Charles died of
consumption, and his sister Jane follows him in
the brief period Of six months of tho same dis
ease, leaving only one surviving son. In the
case of Jane is forcibly illustrated tho truthful
adage that Death loves n shining mark" She
was much beloved by her associates for her kind
and amiablc disposition and warm attachment
to her friends, Softly may the winds whisper
and swectly the flowers bloom over her grave,

dwelling formerly owned and occupied
by Capt. Benz. Smith, now of the I'd

extent that the family, consisting of seven

Where Shall I Enlist9

1t is a matter of no little interest to
those DESTROYS to enroll themselves among
the active defenders of the Government
that they shall avail themselves scisely OF
the privilege afforded of selecting the reg
imcnt to which they will attach them
selves. Every branch of the service is
open 10 recruits. The bounty offered by
Government is the same in all branches,
but the monthly pay differs somewhat, as
Cor instance, the regiment of Engineers
and Mechanics, beside receiving the
monthly stipend offered in other branches
of the service, arc recipients of extra pay,
by act of Congress, for each hour oflabor
over certain allotted time. Besides, this
regiment is usually detached from the
main body of the army and is usually
employed in constructing pontoon and
other bridges, or in repairing them, and
in other mechanical operations necessary
in the movements and efficiency of an ar
my. This branch OF the service affords
peculiar inducements to thorough bred
mechanicbs or persons skilled in the use
of tools. Another inducemcnt held out
by tbs regiment is that no picket and but
little guard duty is required to be per-
formed. Next TO the above named regi-
ments, the heavy artillery is favorte
branch with many, from the fact that but
little labor is required, save in the time of
actual engagement with the enemy, when
shot and she'll arc required to be poured
into their ranks, hot, heavy and in rapid
succession. Then work is to be done,
and every man is expected to do his
whole duty.
The light or flying artillery requires
men Of great activity and endurance, as
in time Of engagement they are often re-
quired TO be here, there, ard everywhere,
almost at the same instant, where an as
sault is about being made, or the advance
of the enemy to be checked. No guard
or picket duty is required of an artillery
man and no knapsackS or other burdens
10 be carried.
The services of an infantry man are
well known; except on long marches and
severe picket duty when in close proximi-
ty to an enemy this branch is not without
its peculiar attractions.
The cavalry call for arduous, constant
labor. Scouting and picket duties arc 20
be performed continually, when near an
enemy, and the energies Of both man and
beast are often most severely taxed
Yet tho excitement attending the eyer-ya-
rying scenes. with which the cavalry man
comes III contact, as well as the peculiar
dangers to which he is exposed, render
this to many favorite branch of the SER
vice.
Thus broad field for choice is held
out to volunteers, aud VIC truly hope to
see a general rallying in our own and 9th
or counties Of the State to fill the quota
of each, that we may all get in out of the
draft and preserve our good name and in
fluence among our patriotic sister States.

For the Grand Haven News.
Quota of Spring Lake.

EDITOR OF THE NEWS: There appear
ed in your paper list of the quotas re-
quired of the several towns in Ottawa
county, under the call of tho President
for 100000 more, in January next, and
in that list Spring Lakes quota is four
teen men-being part of sub-dstrict
number twenty.
In consequence of said call there was
a meeting held in this township, Wednes-
day evening, Nov, 25th ult,, and at that
meeting a committee of investigation was
appointed to ascertain if said quota is cor
rect, and if we could raise the number of
volunteers. This committee consisted of
John II. Newcomb, U. B. Eames and j.
V. Hopkins. The committee were re-
quired to take the census of the township,
which they have done and the result is as
follows:
Children under Is years of age, 296
Women over Is years of age, l60
Men over As years of age, 40
Men over / 8 and under As, able
bodied, As
Men over is and under As, dis
abled, 81
Aliens, 80
Making, in all, GOO
We see that the county is divided into
districts, and one district number twenty,
includes Crockery, Spring Lake, Grand
Haven and Robinson. We wish to know
who apportioued the quota to the several
townships. 1t is quite apparent that
Spring Lake is rated too high, as it will
take about one-third of the entire militia
ry force of the town to fill its quota.
We learn by the Detroit papers that
there is to be a list of the names of per-
sons enrolled published for public inspcc-
ton, and that all erroneously enrolled
may be stricken of, and any omitted be
enrolled, to correct the list.
This we would like to see and to know
who 10 apply to, to see if our quota is
right, it being of interest to the whole
town, rs the Board of Supervisors has
raised a bounty of $3.50 for each voun-
teer, and that to be charged to the town
furnishing the volunteer.
Seventy volunteers, as near as can be
ascertained, have already been furnished
by this town, for the suppression of the
rebellion, and this is three-ffhs of the
whole military force of the town. And
we wish to know when and how we must
apply for relief from what we believe to
be manifest injustice. Il you can give
us the information you will greatly oblige
us. Yours, &c,

HOME AFEAIRs.-During the week
We have had only one item of important
news, concerning military operations. \
small party of Confederates left in the
rear of the federal army succeeded in
capturing a train of their supplies at
Brownsville. 1t is said that about forty
wagons were destroyed, and it is spoken
of as heavy blow to the enemy.
Prices army is still at Arkadelphia
The soldiers are spoken Of as being in
good spirits, anxious for fight and
averse to a farther move backwards.
Gen. Holmes has reached Arkadelphia
and assumed command.
There are 40 accounts of the enemy this
side of Benton.
We have seen private letters from Lit.
tie Rock as late as the 2lst. The federal
papers there also contain accounts of a
Confederate feet at sea. From their ae-
counts it is surmised that we will have a
force of 20 vessels by the end of Novem-
Der.
