southern schooI-Books.


School-books adapted to the wants Of
the Southern States from the latest con-
tributions of John Bah for the benefit Of
the rebels. Among the articles discovered
On beard the blocksde-runner Ella, when
she was captured by the gunbOsi HoWquah
were copies of three books published by
Trubnsr & Co, in London, bearing the fol-
lowing dedication;
To His Excsllency, Jefferson Davis, Presi-
dent Of C. s. A, this series Of school
books. selected from the best and most
approved texts G8d authorities Of modern
ussge, and prepared ana adapted to the
wa1ts srd Institutions Of the Southern
States. is respectfully dedicated byyours,
eto., Z. J. Stewart. London, June 10,
1858.
II fair to infer that these school-boOks,
asdapied to the wants and institutions Of
the Southern States" are of the most ele-
mentary character, suited TO the capacity
Of the persons who receive instruction
while sitting on stumps by the wsysiie." !"
The illustrations Of the spelling books
probably also depict the rendition of onesi-
mus to his master, the murder Of Abel, and
other pleasing episodes which are exactly
adapted to the institutions" Of the rebel
States. 1t was great outrage to prevent
the reception Of these instructive volumes
by the persons for whom they were intend
ed-but such is the fate of war and block
sds.ruuning is q risky business.

The RebeICongrcss.

The present session of the rebel Con-
sress terminates on the 18th inst, and by
law does not meet until the lst Monday Of
next December.
The House, in view Of the exigencies of
the coming spring, resolved to meet
again on the first Monday il April. The
resolution, hsEever, was finally referred
to the Judiciary Committee. The Rich
mond Wing in speaking of this, says: ait
seems that this is to be made test ques-
ticn, and there is q pOssibility-we trust
and believe it is nothing mOre-thst the
country may again be called to mourn a
second interregnum, longer and far more
dangerous thsn that which followed the
fall Of Vieksburg and Port Hudson, when
our finances ran to ruin at the rate Of two
or three millions day, our armies dwin-
died away, and he alone who had the
power to call Congress together was deaf
to public entreaty and made no sign"

A Grand Movement against Mobile.

A Grand Movement against Mobile.
For some time past large expedition
has been fitting out at Cairo, which was
to receive accessions from all the military
posts down to Vicksburg. That expedition
eft few days since. It landed and has
already moved on Jackson and in ten days
may be able to come into the rear Of No
bile. Though this movement has not been
agitated by the press it has been well uu-
derstOod. The Mobile Tribune Of
January 18th says of this proposed at
tack:
"Information has been received that
extensive operations are on foot at Ship
Island. Heavy transports have passed
along the Atlantic coast southward for
some destination not stated. The Tribune
appears to be so well satisfied of the inten-
tions Of the enemy, that it assumes it q
duty to give wsrning, and urge the reno
val of non. combatants that the city may
be left ss much as possible to t1e fighting
men. As operations of any magnitude
must necessarily be suspended in Virginia
and Tennessee during the winter months,
the probability is that Mobile is as likely
to bs attacked as any other point on the
coast. The purpose of the enemy is to
again bisect the confederscy, and the pos
| session ofMObile would no doubt be desir-
able as q necessary preliminary and as s
base Of operations for cooperating with
the descending colnmn from Tennessee.
Should these apprehensions be we'll found
ed, the city will very probably be subject
ed to an attack both by sea and land.
Whatever may be the enemy's intentions,
we are pleased to learn that if they are re-
sisted with tolerable spirit no doubt is en-
/ tertained Of their repulse.'
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-02-04
Political.

Governor Gilmore, Of New Hampshire,
accepts the nomination Of the Union Stale
Convention for second term. He de-
clares himself "not only in favor Of war,
but in favor of every effective measure for
crushing out treason, whether it resrs its
head defantly, ss in South Carolina, or
msske its hidcou5 features with hypeositi-
cal smiles in NeW Hampshire"
Aproprs of the prOdigious believing
which the New York Herald has till just
now kept up in urging General Grant for
the next President, the Chicago Tribune
relates the following anecdote at the ex.
pense of George Lew: AIN 1856 the Her
aid brought out George Law for President,
and heralded his fame with the yigor and
noise Of colored waiter on 8 Chinese
gong. People laughed and Law bled like
a sugar tree in spring. As long as he
came down with the dust, old Bennett beat
his gong and sounded the praise of the
great sesdOg. After while Law saw that
be was humbugged and stopped paying.
The Herald ceased pounding its instru-
ment for the navigator, and thereafter
Law padded his own canoe and saved his
money"
