From Old Virginia.

FoRTREss MoNRos, Va, !
March lst 1866. !
The sacred soil of old Virginia is still invad
ed and the war is not ended yet.
While every day adds to the number of thos,
who have fallen in defense of their country
others are coming forward to fill their places
and, if necessary, sacrifice their lives on the
battle field, because they know their cause Is
just.
How many thousantls have fallen in Old
Virginia! And yet, she remains unconquered,
but the day is not far distant when the rebels
must either gain, victory or abandon Virginia,
and eventually lose their cause
Great preparations are being made for the
coming campaign in Virginia, and it Is uni
versally believed that il will decide the fate of
tie Southern Confederacy.
The indications are that the campaign will
begin early-as soon as the weather and roads
will permit. Then, the terrible scenes of last
wear will be reenacted; and thousands more
will lose their lives on the field of battle.
The Soldiers all desire peace, but an honora
BILE peace is what they are fighting for, and
will continue to fight for as long as there is
any hope of their obtaining it.
great deal of business is done here how.
A vast amount of supplies are brought here
and sent to their destination. Troops are com
ing and going every day, Uncle Sam finds
something for every one to do, whether citizen
or Soldier.
Fortress Monroe is situated on a point of
land about one mile from the mainland, and is
connected with the mainland by narrow pas
sage about forty feet wide; it is fifteen miles
from Norfolk, and seveh miles from Newport
News, at the mouth Of tile James River. 1t
is very strong work, and has been greatly
strengthened within the last four years.
Larger guns have been mounted, and all
arranged so that their fire can be concentrated
on one object. Several very large guus have
been mounted quite recently.
The Chesapeake Hospital, which is filled
with sick and wounded officers, is two miles
from the Fort Generals Curtis and Pefinypack
er, who were wounded at Fort Fisher are In
this Hospital, and are doing well.
The Hospitals here are under the charge of

His Erceliency Coz. Smith:
ConipraiHt is made to me, by Vermont, that
the assignme mt of her quota for the draft on the
pending call is strictly unjust, and also in bad
faith OF the Governments promise to fairly al
low credits for men previously furnished. To
illustrate, a supposed case is stated, as follows:
| Vermont and New Hampshire must, between
them, furnish 5000 men on the pending call,
and, being equals, each must furnish much as
the other in the long run. But the Govern
ment finds that, on former calls, Vermont fur
nished surplus of 500 and New Hampshire u
surplus of / ,509-these two surpluses, making
1000, are added to the 5000, making 5000 to
be furnished by the two States, or 1900 each,
less by fair credits Then subtract Vermonts
quota on the pending call; and likewise sub
tract New Hampshite's surplus of 1900 from her
1000, leaves $500 as her quota on the pending
call. These $500 make precisely the 5000
which the supposed case requires from the tive
States and it is just, equal, for Vermont to fur
nish 900 more now than New Hampshire, be-
cause New Hampshire has heretofore furnished a
| 900 more than Vermont, which equalizes the
burthens of the two in the long run. And
this result SO far from being bad faith to Yer
mont, is indispensable to keeping good faith
with New Hampshire. BY no other result can
the 5000 men be obtained from the two States,
and at the same time, deal justly and keep
faith with both; and We do not confuse orr
selves in Questioning the process by which the
right result was reached.
The supposed case is perfect as an illustra-
tion. The pending call is not for 100000 men
subject to fair credits, but is for 800 900 remain.
ing after all fair credits have been deducted;
and it is impossible to concede what Vermont
asks without coming out short of the 100000
men, or making other localities pay for the par
tiality shown her.

ISNEGULARITY AT SCHOOL,--It il
universally conceded by teachers that the evils
Of inconstant attendance are the most formida-
BILE ones which they contend 1t cannot be de-
MED, that of all drawbacks upon common school
efficiency, they are the most serious,
Some friend ofe,iucaton has furnished the
following, to which serious attention should be
given:
L. II boy learns to feel that he may leave
his duties as scholar for trivial causes-tor eau
ses equally trigial he will forsake his business
when man.
.. The time ofthe teacher and seholer is was
ted while His alb ence is being recorded.
g. The teachers time is wasted IN reading
and recording the delinquents excuse when he
returns to school.
H. He interrupts the exercises of the. teacher
or some part of the school, in finding the place
at which his various lessons commenced.
s. He has lost the lesson recited yesterday,
and does not understand that portion ofto-day's
lesson, which depends uptn that of yesterday;
and such dependence usually exists.
6. The teachers time and patience are taxed
inropeating to him the instruttions Of ycster
day, which, however, for want of study, he
does not clearly appreciate,
7. The rest of the class are deprived OF the
instruction of their teacher while he is teaching
the delinquent.
s. The progress of the rest of The class is for
the time checked, and the ambitio curbed by
waiting for the tardy delinquent
g. The pride of the class Is wounded and their
interest in their studies abated by the conduct
Of the absentee
TO- The reputation ofb both teacher and school
suffer upon days of public examination by fail
ures, which are chargeable to the absentee and
not to the instruction.
IL. The means generally provided for the
education OF the delinquent are wrongfully
W asted.
10. He sets pernicious example for the rest
Of the school, and usually does some actual mis-
chief while absent.

have respectfully to report as follows:- iii
The call for 100000 men, made by the
President, on the 10Th of December, 664, re-
quires that that number shall be raised.
But the law requires that the number of men
previously furnished by different localities, and
the periods of their service, shall be considered
SO as to equalize the draft.
The number of men liable to military duty is |
to be determined by the enrolment lists.
The number of men which had been furnish
ed bv various localities, and their periods of
service, were ascertaiped, and previous accounts
having been adjusted, the excesses, where they |
existed, were carried forward under the last
draft.
The amount Of service furnished is determin
ed by multiplying the nuimber Of men raised by
the number of years for which they enlisted.
Having thus aseertaned the number of men
ENROLLED on the 3lst day Of December, 1864; the |
number of men furnished up to that date; the
localities from which they come, e the periods
Of their service, it is proposed to distribute the
