yesterday. He says the reports that have
reached the public about the late battle
have not exaggerated the rebel Losses
The fight was made to save our trains,
which were of enormous size and value,
filing the road for twelve miles. Il was
not intended to hold Franklin longer than
necessary to get our property out Of the

very hard from Columbia, and at one time
We were in great danger but Hood lost his
opportunity in not attacking in force at

few regiments that recently entered the

B@BAD RoADs-All the country roads
leading from this city are in an almost i'm
passable condition. The road between this
city and Benwood, than which no outlet to
the city is more extensively patroniscd, is
in a horrible condition. The road on the
Ohio side of the river, is if possible worse
than the road to Benwood. They are like
the two roads leading to the village of Ma
poleou, in Arkansas, in regard to which a
native informed belated traveller, that if
he took the right hand road he would wish
he was in hi and if he took the left hand
road be would soon wish he was on the
right hand road again. The Benwood road
is therefore travelled quite as much by the
Ohio people as the road leading from Bell
air to Bridgeport. Although the Beuwood
road is great thoroughfare it has been
much neglected. 1t has not been improv-
ed for long time and the mud is as deep
as horses belly or the hubs of wagon
wheels. The interests of the city demand
that more care and expense should be de-.
voted to the road and we hope some action
will be taken at once TO put the thorough.

~THn WHEELING FEmA1r sRM1NARY

E@THB WHEELING FEMALE SEMINARY
has entered upon the second quarter of the
present session with an increased number
of scholars, and large and superior facul-
ty. Mrs. Hanna has spared neither pains
nor expense to procure the best teachers,
and as result has secured first class in
structors for all the departments of Lam
guages, music and painting. The disci-
pline of the Institution is more like that Of
a we'll regulated christian family than
that of public boarding school. Young
ladies are taught to cultivate the Christian
graces of faith and mercy, and of doing
good to others, as we'll as the ordinary
branches of literature and art. Every effort
is used to secure occasional lectures by
prominent ministers and travellers, and, in
short, all means are used to induce students
to rise to the sublime height of that destiny
which the Creator has stamped upon every
immortal soul.
Perhaps never in the history of the
world was there such field of usefulness
thrown open to ladies as that which our
country presents to-day. The work of
mercy is widening. The army and the
hospital call loudly for the kind word and
delicate attention of refined and educated
ladies. Teachers will be wanted by scores
and hundreds to impart instruction to
those who may have long been in igno-
rance and darkness.

BASK.-On Friday night last an attempt
was made to rob the Jefferson Branch Bank
of steubenville. The parties who made the
attempt bored out a panel in the front
door. They also bored some four or five
auger holes through the outer part of the
door, but were unable to penetrate the in.
side facing, which is of heavy wrought
iron. If the thieves had gotten inside of
the Bank, they would still have had the
most difficult part of their work to per.
form-as the funds of the Bank are in one
of the best vaults in the State, and safe
of the most approved patent in the coun-
try, impervious alike to powder and fles.

clothing and dry goods stores. A suspi-
cious looking character was observed emer-
ging from the cellar of Frohman g. Co.'s
clothing store, corner of Market and Sd
