From Chattanooga.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Private informa-
ton from Chattanooga is to the effect chat
several days ago the main body of the
rebel army was at Rome, Ga, under John
ston. This was accounted for or the ground
that either the enemy were forced TO go TO
Rome for convenience to their supplies or
to prevent desertions, between 5000 and
5000 men having come into our lines since
the battle Of Missionary Ridge. There Is
not much alarm at Chattanooga about the
safety of our troops in the neighborhood o.
Knoxville.

THE "THREE FAST MEN."-On Saturday
morning we published an account of the
arrest of three men in Bellair, charged with
robbing clothing store in GAINESVILLE. 1t
appears there were four men in the gang,
viz: c. II. Archer, c. Bishop, Jos Fitzger.
aid and a man named Davidson. The three
first named left Davidson at GAINESVILLE, and
came to Bellair. Davidson did not like this
treatment, and telegraphed the officer at
Bellair to detain them, as they had stolen
some clothing before leaving Zanesville.-
This was done to detain them in order that
Davidson might catch up with them before
they left Bellair Fearing serious results,
Davidson, upon arriving at Belmont Sta
ton, telegr lphed the officers at beilair
that he had found his clothing, and that the
men could be released. About half an hour
after the release, Davidson arrived in Bel
lair. and the four were soon seated together
in barroom enjoying social glass. Their
festivities we're soon interrupted, however,
by the appearance OF two Federal officers,
(Mr. Perry and MIR. Carter,) who had just
arrived on freight train. The four "fast
men" were apprehended as deserters, and
taken back to GAINESVILLE, from whence they
will be sent to their regiments.

that A. NJ. Adams & Co, do. One of the

AN AMUSING SCENE ABOARD A STEAM
BoAT.-The otaer day a young man in this
city took it into his head to go down to Raw
enswood and attempt to make bis way into
Dixie. He took passage on steamer, and
concluded he was safe enough as he had
made his purpose known to but few i'm
mediate friends. When near Marietta he
overheard passenger talking about young
men attempting to run the blockade and
get into the South. Thinking the passen'
ger was aware of his intentions, our young
friend determined to avoid him A few
hours afterwards the young man observed
the Messenger and two or three men sdvanc
ing towards him, and fearing them he broke
for his state room, opened tho door, ran in,
and bolted the door, he was soon start
led By the screams of the chambermaid,
who was adjusting the bedclothes and
cleaning ND the room. The screams OF the
oirl soon brought number of the passen-
GERS TO the door, Admittance was demand
ed but the young man knew the voices Of
the men, and refused to open the door
The young man declared he did not know
the girl was in the room when he entered
it. and told such forward story that be
was pardoned, and continued on his journey
without molestation. The gentlemen whom
he was endeavoring to elude knew nothing
about his errand.

Irregular Attendance at School.

1t is universally conceded by teach
ers that the evils of inconsistent at
tendence are the most formidable ones
with which they contend. 1t cannot
be denied, that Of all drawbacks upon
common school efficiency, they are the
most serious. Some friend of educa-
ton has furnished the following, to
which very serious attention should be
given.
/. If boy learns to feel that he
may leave his duties as scholar for
trivial causes for causes equally tri-
vial he will forsake his business when
man.
2. The timo of tho teacher and
school is wasted whilo his absence is
being recorded.
3. The teachers tine is wasted in
reading and recording the delinquent's
excuse, when he returns to school
4. He interrupts the exercises of
the teacher, or some part of the school
in finding tho place at which his vari-
Gus lessons commenced, a..t
3. He has lost the lesson recited
yesterday, and does not understand
that portion of to-day's lesson, which
depends upon that of yesterday and
such dependence usually exists.
q. The teachers tina and patience
are taxed in repeating to him tho in
structions of yesterday, which, howev-
er, for want Of study, he does notfully
appreciate, ~ .
Z. The rest of tloIclass are deprived
Of tho instruction Of their teacher,
while he is teaching the delinquent.
(. The progress Of the rest Of the
class is checked, and their ambition
curbed by waiting for the tardy delin-
qucnt.
8. The pride Of the class is wound
cd, and their interest in their studies
abated by tho conduct of the absentee.
10. The reputation of both teacher
and school suffer upon days of public
examination by failures, which are
chargeable TO the absentee and not to
the instruction.
H. Tho means generally provided
for the education OF thedelinquont are
wrongfully wasted. ~ ~.
IL. He sets pernicious example
for the rest Of the school, and usually
does some actual mischief while ho is
absent. ftfN ih ~
