A most daring scheme of villaiuy was
perpretrated on the cars between this city
and Centralia,' night before last. The par
ticulsrs are as follows:
A large number of recruits were on the
train, en- route from Camp Yates to VicksA

siderable amount of money in their pos
session, and it appears that three men, who
had enlisted and started With the rest,
conceived the design of robbiug their COM
rades.
To accomplish this they procured a
quantity Of whisky, which they drugged
! and placed in bottles apd. canteens. Alter
the train had left Ceutrslia these men en-
tered one of the cara, which was filed with
soldiers, and distributed the liquor. The
night being quite cold, the soldiers drank
freely, and it was but short time before
every man Of them, including the guards,
fell into state of ubc0nciousness.
The Villains then extinguisbed the lights,
and proceeded to rob their victims Of all
their money and vaiuables. They took
$50 10 money, a gold watch, and revJlv-
er from enc mar, who died from the effects
Of the drug taken in the liquor. About So, :

The State Teachers Convention recently
held at Springfield contained 50 MANY
members of doubtful loyalty that it was
deemed prudentto call upon Governor
Yates to administer the cath of allegiance
to them.

teachers of young ideas how TO. shoot not
to commit treason, be should also have ad,
ministered Oatbs to them not 10 commit
theft, forgery, pergury. adultery or any
other of the catalogue ofcrimes. If there
is danger of our teachers becoming trail.
tors, surely there lie much more danger of
their committing some of the other crimes
mentioned; and our amiabIe Governor
should adopt precaution against the errine
dispositions of those Instructors of the
youth of our State.

Particulars OF the Change Of Base.
Matters on James River.

NEW YORK, June 14.-The World says that
it is now discovered that the army under
Grant has effected a change of base to the
James River. ,AS
All the movements of that army since the
battle of Friday, the 3rd, have aimed at this
contamination, which was shadowed forth
though not declared in former dispatches''
The city has been filed with rumors TO-DAY
that Fort Darling is largely invested and must

Va, which was readily answered by the gray
backs. The Commodore Perry lay upon the
right bank of the river, above Fort Waltham,
a distance of between three and four miles from
the rebel fort, while the General Putnam, be-
ing lighter draght, ran up the left branch to
within one and half miles of the rebel works
and delivered her fire with such precision as to
cause partial abandonment of their works.
From masked battery to the right of the
main works an incessant fire was kept up on
us until towards noon, when fire from the
gunboats silenced the guns of the main fort,
but it was evident that the rebels did not relish
our mode of doing business, and retired. The
firiEg from the gunboats continued throughout
the day. No damage done to the gunboats en-
gagged. 1t was splendid affair and reflects
great credit on the men and officers of both

FROM BUFFERS ARMY.
Failure Of an Attempt 10 Capture
Petersburg.

New YORK, June 12.-The Tribune cores
against Petersburg: There were 400 picked
cavalry under Kautz and between 5000 or 4, 900
infantry under Gilmore, and all under com
mand of Gilmore. At noon when the infantry
were within mile and a half of Petersburg
Gilmore sent dispatch that he heard Kraft
guns away to the left, but had no communion
ton with him.
Gilmore had intentions to advance On Peters,
burg and engage the enemy. He returned to-
night. 1t was immaterial whether he sue.
ceeded or not. The real object being to divert
attention from KantG who was to dash into
the city from the opposite side, burn Apo
matox bridge, destroy stores, supply depots,
&C., and do all he could to annoy and harrass
the enemy.
A signal glass showed that Kratz was fulfil
ing his mission, as the cavalry were seen at
lacking upon the further SIDE and driving the
enemy before them. This was inside of the
entertainments ON the outskirts.
Availing himself of the second clause of his
instructions, namely to return the same night
word that he had found the works quite form
liable, more so than he had anticipated, and
that he and Gen. Hicks did not deem il prudent
to attack, and therefore retired half mile
where he formed a line of battle. Meanwhile
Kautz had entered the line of entertainments
with his cavalry and was fighting in the city,
expecting the infantry would assist him.
The rebels, seeing Gilmore's force withdraw
ing, turned their attention to Kautz, pressing
him closely and capturing three-inch gun.
At this the cavalry pounced upon twelve
pound brass piece, which they seized and
brought away. Still there was no diversion in
their favor by the infantry. To attempt to &C.
complish the work assigned him was madness.
and Kautz reluctantly withdrew.
The correspondent Of the Herald from But
ler's department gives details of the recent at
tack on Petersburg, showing that Gilmore adj
vanced to within short distance but being
informed by a woman that the rebels were
prepared to receive him, they having received
information OF the movement some days pre-
vious, he decided to return, which he did safe
~ with only twenty-five wounded.
Gen. Kautz, by another road, surprised the
enemy's works by brave dash, capturing sew
eral pieces of artillery and number of prison.

shells into Petersburg during the movement.
