REREL EXHAUSTION.

New York. Sept. 27.-The Tribune's cor
respondent with Gen. Grant says:-By refer
ence to the Richmond paper which mailed
to you last night, you will see that on their
own calculations there remains in the whole
South but 10000 men between the ages of
l6 and So These they style exempts. By
enactment of Congress all residents between
these ages are in their military service. From
these exempts ocly can they recruit their ar
mics, But these $4,000 are all men who
have been detailed for duty considered up to
this time as vitality important as service in
the army, and not all o! them nor any large
portion of them eau be spared from their
present advocatious as overseers of plantations,
as workmeu 10 Confederate arsenals, as mau-
ufacturers of articles which must be obtained
Hence there is no basis of addition to their
armies.

WASHINGTON ON TRAIToTs.-In letter to
Governor Trumbull, of Connecticut, written
during the Revolution, in relation to disafFect-
ed and disoyal persons, he said:
As it is now apparent that we have nothing
to depend upon in the present contest, but our
strength, care, frmness and union, should not
the same measures be adopted in your and
every other government on the continent p
Would it not be prudent to sieze on those
tories who have been, are, and that we know
will be, active against US {? Why should per-
sons who are preying on the vitals Of their
country, be suffered to skulk at large, while
we know they will do US every mischief in
their power? These, sir, are points beg
leave to submit to your serious consideration.

SUMMERS GONE.
BY ANNIE

Summers gone;-she died las night:
Beautiful. bright Summer;
Now this morn all robed in white,
Where the breezes murmur,
Lies she on her Iowly bier,
Strewn with sad eyed flowers:
Whilea funeral dirge SO drear,
Floats from forests bowers.
Underneath the dropping leaves,
Chirps the cricket lonely,
While the Katy Did still grieyeS,
To the pale stars only;
For the moon her soft beams yelled,
As the winds kept signing,
When fair Summers face had paled,
With the pain Of dying.
Summers gone;-the yellow leaves
Soon shall veil her glory;
Sober morns, and solemn ewes,
Tell the mOurnful story:
How she smiled, a thing so fair,
How she grieved by dying;
Weeping DER the lone beu there,
Where her pale form is lying.
Death, it was a cruel blow,
TakiRg sweet life from her:
Laying such a treasure low,
AS the radiant Summer:
Leaving for the joys she gave,
Shadows, seldom lifting;
Wintry wines that shrek and rave,
Chilling snow flakes drifting.
Faded flowers, and withered leaves,
Forests lost in shadows;
Rain-drops moaning from the caves,
Dead grass in the meadows;
Birds, that sit with folded wing,
Brooks that wall and murmur;
These, eacn dawning morn will bring,
Since thou'rt gone, sweet summer
Life's sweet Summer soon will die,
All its bright dreams perishi
And like clouds across the sky,
Drift the hopes we cherish:
Wintry winds will wall and blow
Round the ruins solemn,
Heaping up the cold white snow,
Ger each starry column.
But the Winter III soon depart
Bleak, unwelcome comer@
And will haste to cheer each heart,
Soon as fair as Summer.
So, beyond the graves chill gloom,
In the 'Clty Golden"
Fairer joys for US shall bloom,
Than the joys of Olden.

reached us here that there is rumor
at home, that Lieut.. Watson of Co. l,
of this regiment, abscnted himself from
his regiment, and was voluntarily cap
turcd in one of tho battles of the 9th
OF May. In justice to an absent officer
whose fate is unknown, take the lib
erty of pronouncing the rumor a glar-
ing falsehood, and the author Of it g
base calumniator. l Ihave at the pres
ent tlmo no means Of knowing who
this slandcrer is, but | venture the as
scrtion that if hc belongs to this regi-
ment, he is one Of those abominablc
"bummers' or skulkers, who take
good care never to get into any fights
themselves. Instead of Lieut.. Watson
exhibiting fear or cowardice in any of
the fighting of that day, l know from
personal observation that he not only
commanded his company on that occa-
sion, and did his duty as an officer,
but that he frequently seized gun
and used it whenever an opportunity
presented itself.
l need scarcely add that there isnot
an officer in this regiment but what
always had, apd still has, Gf Licutcn-
Watson is still living) implicit conf
denco in his skill, GOODNESS, and cour-
age, and none but what regard this
mean attack upon his character rs one
of the grossest outragcs.
By giving this place in your col
umns, you will confer favor upon his
numerous friends in the regiment, as
well as upon those of his relatives who
reside in your locality.

Mrs. Hooker, in apparent vigorous
health and in the full enjoyment of a
happy life, fell suddenly in the afternoon
Eof the 14th, and died the morning fol-
lowing. The suddcnncss of the death
and tho. mysterious nature of the
disease with which she died, excited
the earnest sympathy and surprise of
the community, The opinion of the
attending physician, wo understand. is
that her death was caused by sun
stroke. She was an intelligent, active,
vigorous, happy woman, and tho sud-
denness of her death, falls heavily upon
her friends. She leaves q husband and

near Bucna Vista, on tho 18th June.
He was good man, true patriot
and bravo soldier. lie fought for his
country in 8 severe and memorable
conflicts, among them were the battles
of Pea Ridge and the various ones
about Vicksburg. He was taken sick
shortly after, OF about tho time of the
surrender of Viclsburg, and came
home on sick furlough. After partial
ly recovering, and contrary to the ad-
vice of physician and friends, he re-
turned to his Regiment, anxious to con-
tinuc his efforts for the destruction OF
the rebellion. But ho was not able to
resume duty, and was consequently
put in the hospital at st. Louis, where
he remained up to the time of his .Nm-
ing home, which was only a few days
prior to his death. He leaves q wife
and one child and numerous friends to
mourn his loss. Peace to his ashes.

Some of the primary branches of
study are very impcrlcctly taught in
nearly all our common schools. But
the ranks Of our army Of teachers are
mostly recruited from the imperfectIy
taught classes Of those schools. and
thus the evil of imperfect instruction
il perpetuated. Those who enter
academies, seminarics and colleges, are
supposed to have completed the Gle.
mentary branches, and enter at once
upon the higher studies, and are thus
cut Off forever from the means of sup.
plying the defects of their earlier cd.
ucatiOn. ! remember to have heard
a few years ago Of two graduates of
eastern colleges being refused ccrtfi.
Gates as district school teachers by the
examiners Of Hamilton county in this
State. Those graduates might lfavc
been good Latin and Greek scholars,
but they were found not to be proper-
ly qualified to teach the English al.
phabct.
A class of schools called Normal In
stitutcs have, oflate become quite com
mon in different parts Of our State
These schools are held during the
summer vacation, and usually contin-
uc about six weeks. They are design
ed especially for the benefit of those
who wish to qualify themselves to
teach. Attention, in these schools, is
devoted mainly to the branches which
teachers are required by law to under
stand. These schools are the very
thing needed to remedy the evils Of
imperfect instruction. in our common
schools. In six weeks term of one of
these schools. under the charge of
competent instructors, class of teach

kind of instruction required to fit them

LIEUT.. col. II. h. HUNTER PLACED
UNDER OUR GUNS.

Gen. Sam Jones, commanding the
rebel forces in the department Of South
Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, has
informed Gen. Foster, commanding
our forces on the South Carolina Coast
that he has distributed about the city
of Charleston, five general and forty
five field officers Of the United States
Army. He informs General Foster
that they have been placed in parts Of
the city which have been, for many
months, exposed to the fire of our guns
bombarding the city.
In a list Of the officers from the
Charleston Mercury, We notice the
name of Lieut. Col. Hunter of this city.
After suffering year in the loathsome
prisons of Richmond, he has been
dragged to Charleston and placed
within range of our guns. The savage
cruelty of the rebels during the last
year in starving and torturing the
brave men who have fallen into their
hands, is unparalleled in the records
of civilization, and they deserve, as
they are receiving, the scorn and bit
ter condemnation of the world.
Gen. Foster informs Gen. Jones that
this is means of preventing the bonn
bardment of city unknown to honor
able warfare, and that he has request
ed the President to place in his hands
an equal number of prisoners of like
grade to be exposed to the fire of the
rebel guns so long as they leave our
men exposed.
