The Holiday Term, in this vicinity
at least, bids fair to be season of JOY
and festivity, moro especially among
the juvenile portion of our population.
On Friday evening, the 2Sd, a Grand
Festival Of the Congregational Church
Sabbath School comes of at Irving
Hall, for which a beautiful and expen-
siye Christmas Tree has been pro-
pared, and arrangements made which
cannot fail to insure splendid season
of pleasure for the misses, lads, and
a" todlin wee things" and their teach
ers and parents who are expected to
DO present; and this reminds that
We met two rosy checked urchins
about knoe-high to burgundy rose,
on the street, the other day, and thus
they chanted in high glee, their original
and honest, if not altogether elegant
Christmas carroll:

A Festival Of st. Pauls Church Sab
bath School, is to be held at Bueno
= "a Hall on Saturday evening, Dec
~, which though not on as extensive a
9ctle as the other, the School being as
yet in its infancy, will doubtless prove
an occasion Of rare interest and pleas
ure to all participants.
There will no doubtbe other arrange
nents among other classes Of oul
population for the further commend
ration Of Christmas, both as religious
and secular festival, and in this re.
spect it is peculiarly pleasing to notice
the increasing interest with which
every recurrence of the Christmas
Holidays is now greeted by the whole
people Of this country.

The Raid on the Montgomery and West
Point Railroad.

The following has been received from Ger.
Rosseau's expedition
MARIETTA, GA. July %, 1854.
To The ASsiSiGh AdjuiGM General, DtEiTict Of Ten.
nsiiee!
We arrived here day before yesterday, and
have been eminently sucCessful, and have exc
cuted the orders of Gen. Sherman to the letter.
Our loss does not exceed twelve In killed and
wounded. | start TO. day for Nashville.
On the 22d, Gen. Sherman announced, In a
cirCi.r! 10 his army, that Gen. Rousseau had
been entirely successful.
The important expedition against the Mont
gomery and West Point Railroad, the success
of which is thus officially announced, was pro-
jected by Gen. RossCau when Gen. shermaL
was preparing to depart on his great raid
through Mississippi, in the early part of this
year, but for various military reasons Its exc
cution was postponed until the present month.
On the Goth ultimo Gen. Sherman revived the
project, as an important auxiliary to his grand
movement upon Atlanta, his object being to
cut the railroad between Columbus, Ga, and
Montgomery, Ala, so eiIsctually as to destroy
permanently the rebel COMMUNICATIONS be-
tween these points. Abundant preparations
were made for the destruction of the ties, rails
bridges, culverts, water tanks, depot buildings,
