Yazoo City baa not yet been taken, the fleet had one day's fight, the result is cot jet known. 210 cavalry crossed the Kappabannock on Tuesdy last-routed the intrenched enemy, and captored 80 prisoners and several horsas. The coppei heads of Noble co. Ohio, have determined to resist the Government. The number of those in armed resistance against the Government is estimated at COO to 1 O0O. Last Sunday afternoon about seven , bandied loldiers arrived in this city, via the Dayton Western R. II. They were prisoners captured by the rebels at Stone River, and paroled, and were on their way to Chicago, where I bey will remain ' til! exchanged. They had traveled all the way from Annapolis, 31 d., without anything' to pat; and the managers of the train, knowing the generosity of the eiliaens of Richmond, determined to afop here til the famished heroes were provided with food. The Orebell were lung and as fast as tbe citizens arrived at the engine booses they were informed of the condition of the poor fellows, and soon the streets leading to tbe depot were thronged with people, carrying baskets of food, and the way the brave lads charged on the fortifications for (he inner man was not slow. Very unexpectedly they bad to remain heie all night, and after partaking of a breakfast provided for them, they left, well pleased with their short visit to the Quaker City. ORDERS NO. 13.

All deserters and absentees from the Armv in either of the three States above , specified are hereby notified that they may . deliver themselves .up agreeably to the Proclamation ot the l'nfiideut at any time . between this date and the 1st of April, subject to no o her punishment than the foifeit- , are of their pay and allowances during the time they may have been absent; those in Indiana to deliver themselves up at Indianapolis or Louisville, Ky.; Those in Ohio at Columbus or Cincinnati : those in Illinois at Chicago, Springfield or Cairo. After delivering themselves up they will be properly eared for and transported to their Regiments free from expense. II. Ample arrangements will be perfected for apprebendiog all those who do not deliver themselves up by that time, and they will be dealt wilh in the meat rigorous manner provided by the law. None netd flatter themselves that they will be protected by secret organizations of armed men. AU such efforts will prove futile. III. AU officers on duty in either of the above States arresting deserters and absen tees will report to these Headquarters by letter on Mondays and Thursdays of each week, giving an account of where they have been and what they have accomplished aince their last report All officers whose reports show a want of vigilance and practical results will be returned to their regiments as soon as that fact becomes manifest; IV. It is hoped that all newspapers that have tbe weltare of the Government at heart will unite iu giving this order as wide circulation as posible, and give it such editorial notice as will encourage all loyal citizens and all civil officers to aid in this work. If all the deserters and absentees from the army can be returned there will be very little danger of a draft or conscription becoming necessary. V. The Commandants of the Posts herein specified, at which deserters and absentees may deliver themselves up, will see that those who do so are properly cared for and returned ta their respective ret(iments, and will report to these Headquarters on Mondays and Thursdays of each week the name, rank ajid regiment of all thus delivering themselves up.

The JeBTereoaian. On Sunday evening last, this office

entered by soldiers, who piled the type on the floor indiscriminately broke tbe presses, ease,, VC entire' mining the establishment.: The job press wit entirely destroyed, whilst the large pressVorrwhich the JefTeisonian was printed, can be repaired at a cost of about $25. Eight hundred or one thousand dollar, will place tbe office in as good a fix, if not better, than it was. These soldiers were fresh from the army of the Cumberland many of whom had becn wounded and taken prisoners at tbe battle of Stone River, and bad endured the privations and cruelty of a Southern prison, and the brutal treatment bestowed bj the rebels on Union soldiers, and had no great love for either them or their Northern copperhead brethtrtn. One of our most respectable citizens sajshe heard a soldier express himself as determined to put a stop to the "fiting-in-the-rear," that they (the soldiers) were experiencing from such papers as the Jiffersonian, if every one had to be destroyed, and the sentiment was echoed by his brother soldiers. He (tbe soldier) said further that Le bad formerly published a democratic paper in Illinois up to the time the war broke out, and supported Stephen A. Doug!as for the Presidency.' f lie had been tn the service for the past two years, and expected to fight traitors wherever he could find them, and he who was not for the vigorous prosecution . of this war np to the good hour when the traitors should un coLditiooally surrender, was his enemy, and tbe enemy of tbe country. He wanted it distinctly understood that no citizen of Rich roond had bad a "fiogtr in the pi" of the Jeflcrionian. in inciting the soldiers or assisting them to destroy it. While we cannot justify this summary way of abating a nuisance, and would prefer hating the constituted authorities to deal wilh every press that aims, like the Jeffersonian has constantly and per.-istently done, to discourage our soldiers, incite them to mutiny and .desertion, acd, by this means break up the army; yet, this demonstration has Vb Iosson, going clearly and unequivocally to show, that the indignant resolutions passed by the Army of the Cumberland, j that were trar emitted to the copperhead Legislature of Indiana, meant something : the soldier despises " a sneaking traitor in the rear more than he does a rebel in front." We are no admirer of the course pursaed by the Jfjertonian, but we deprecate mobs or mob violence, to remedy evils that can be cured by civil or martial law, or by pursuing a "letting , alone" course. The law sometimes has its tedious perplt xttiee, its glorious uncertainties, but where it can be enforced, with a reasonable hope of success ful coirection being administered through its aid, we are always in favor of resorting to it as tbe only remedy. Cases do occur, particularly in these times tj-at "try men's souls," wherein a resort to civil law would be simply foolishness a waste of precious time. When, as in the case of the Jtffersonian, the boasted "liberty of the press" culminated into licentiousness its whole influence was beirg used to disparage all the tJTocta of the General Government to put down this viicked and causeless rebellion its sdvocacy of an armistice and compromise wi'h armed traitors, evidentlyo "aid and comfort" its southern brethies its publication of letters, purporting to have been written by soldiers, full of outrageous lies, calculated to discourage and dishearten soldiers and the friends of soldiers, at home, which were evidently gotten up in this city to order, for the purpose of producing dissatisfaction and desertion when, we say, all this was done, and evil influences, and only evil, was continually dripping from its foul and loathsome pages, then was the time for martial law to lay its restraining hand on the thing and dry it up, until its editor should give forth fruits meet for repentance, for his lory utterances and traitor sympathies. Civil affairs cannot go on as usual in time of war. ' Blackstone, tbe most eminent of commentators on law, fully en dorses the sentiment : . ' Laws are silent amid arms,' : We are fighting for law. If law were undisturbed, and the Constitution not violated by rebels, there would be no occasion for ci vil war. There is a law which, when the existence of a nation is threatened, supercedes all others : it is ths law of self PRFSERVATtow. What would be endured as the croaking of an ultra partizan, and reg.tr JeJ as mere clap-trap to keep a party together, in lime of peace, is' looked on in a different light when the red hand of war is stretched forth to smite down our cherished institutions, and for tho destruetruction of our glorious Union. We btlieve it is the duty of tbe Government to suppress all such sheets as the Jtffjrsooian was ; but if the Government will not act, for the lea son, probably, that it might tend to making its editor a "blesed martyr," and because of his alter insignificance being a mere satelite to other dog-star luminaries of rreater magnitude, then it becomes tie du-1 ; , iii i -.- . i 1 ty of every good and loyal citizen to try - I - j j . j ww i power of Isttimg him alone iu .every social and commercial relation follow stictly the scriptural advice : " Let him be to you as a heathen "treat Liin. with that scorn aad contempt that a tory deserves. One year ago, we gave this advice, and had it been strictly followed, no such a deplorable scene j as took place on Sunday night last would. have occurred. Tho owner of lhat misehe-. vioue sheet would have been made to feel ,v. -, . t,. , , that either the city of Richmond was no uiumg piato mi uiw iya pis, or inai no would have to change his coarse "cease to do evil, aad lean to da wall '' . The woole here have lhat remedv ir, th.;. own hands, and we believa it ca be msde efficacious and this .course cacrot b- tor. i tured tsto ona of intra proscription fori,

opinion's sake; for we hold that no man has ;

a right to remain in a loyal community and,, counsel treason teach opposition to every effort that may be pat forth by the authorities to put down rebellion brought on by traitors, and expect to be treated or counts nanced ara fellow-citizen. A friend of oars, who is a prominent Union Democrat, re - marVost r l.t ,e nnlt TTVo ! to see every man in this city, ranged side-by-side on Main street, and the question distinctly put to each one : Are you in favor of all the measures of tbe Government for a vigorous prosecution of this war to sappress the rebellion, and opposed to an armistice or a compromise with traitors, until they lay down their arms aud submit to the Constitution and laws of the United States.' If so, step two paces in advance. Ton who are opposed to these propositions, will stand still. Then, if there be any of the latter, that they be notified to settle up their business in aa short a time as possible, and convey their carcases where their hearts are to "Dixie's Land ! " The suggestion struck us as a good one n the principle that we would . sooner fight an open enemy than a secret one. We understand that Elder intends to again commence publishing the Jeffersonian as soon as new type, it a., can be procured, j an j if be does, we hope he will pursue a different course one that will reflect credit 'and honor on himself, instead of disgrace ' and infamy. A CSeuerous Donation. From tha Indianapolis Journal, 11th. The following letter from Hon. Schuyler Colfax enclosed a draft on the Assistant Treasurer of the Uoited States at New York, for $029 34, which we are requested to hand over to the Commisoion for the relief of sick and wounded Indiana soldiers. The money is Mr. Colfax's mileage for the last session of Congress. We may premise that the letter wa3 not intended for publica tion, but we prefer to publish it as the best way of informing the publio of the nature of this noble gift of one of onr noblest and truest men : House oj Representatives, Washington City, March 4, 1863 : , " Frisk d Sclgrovb : Will you oblige me by handing the enclosed check for $629 34 to the Indiana Commission for tbe benefit of our sick and wounded soldiers. It is the milwage voted to me for the 37ih Congress, wbic'i closes to day, and which I prefer they should have. ' Yours truly, t Schdvlxr Colfax." SW The Chicago Tribune advocates the appointment of our invalided officers, scarred and maimed honorably in the battles of ten Union, as nt persons to IioM the pesi tions ol Provosi'Marshals under the con scrip tion law. The Kali tor says: They bear about them unmistakable proofs of eminent fitness for a post where loyalty is : the first consideration. They would never have gone into this war had not their hearts been in it. If this test be deemed inclusive, there is the supplementary and finishing one, in the fact ti.at disloyal officers rarely come home from the wars with more wounds than all poor horsemen are exposed to. The wounded officers are tbe men who tried to do their duty in the face of danger, and their loyal swords will prick right sharply the shirks and malcontents who deny the service they owe the State. Stand away gentlemen who have no other claim than what the party owes you, or the fact of influence at court. Room for the veterans of the war of tbe rebellion! Let us have the officers with scars more honorable than knightly decoration placed where they can still serve their country. Indiana Military Aubnct. Gov: Morton has established an agency for purposes of Relief and Information in matters connected with Indiana Regiments serving in the Army of the East Isaac W.

J"At a Union Meeting, held in Wilmington, Ohio, en Tuesday evening, March 10, the following resolution was adopted : Resolved. That we will have no commercial intercourse with any persons who avow their sympathy wilh rebellion." Good ! We commend this wholesome resolution for the adoption of all loyal men, here and elsewhere. We preached thia doetrine one year ago, and have endeavored to practice it ever since, and, as long as our community is cursed with such unprincipled scoundrels, we shall continue steadfast in the faith. ffafCoL Carrington, the able and efficient commander ot the post at Indianapolis, has been confirmed Brigadier General of Volunteers.

From tne 9tb Reft Tocxo's Poist. La, Xlar. 6th, '63. .Eds. Palladicm: Any thing ia the shape of news is very scarce, I assure you, and what we do hear we are afraid to be

lieve, for fear the next bulletin will make it out .such an awful fish story, that we ars ' ashnmed to have ever thought of telling it 1 or Vbe trnth In C0DSqnence thereo'. it has become a crime of the moat criminal character, and punishable to said offender, for such act, with "the drinks all round" for telling anything fearful or desperate. Tbe river still continues to rise with frightful rapidity ; the water has broken through the embatkments at the canal, and is pouring through with a rapid current whether sufficient for passing any of our boats down or not I am not informed, as it just broke through last night. Concerning the fate of the gunboat Indianola, which run the blockade some nights ago, there is a hundred and one rumors. The latest and most reliable is that the engineer of the Indianola has just returned, and reports to Gen. Grant that about ICO mifes below this the boat was attacked by the rebtl gunboat Webb, two transports, and ram Queen of the West, which the rebels now have in their possession. She engaged them for about three hours, making a running fight. The Indianola is a very slow boat, and has but two guns. From tte engineer's statements, it was a very amusing engagement. While the gunboat Webb kept our boat busy, the ram and transports kept constantly bntting her in the rear, till they worried her out. The Indianola sunk the transports, but was forced to surrender ; but before do ing 60, the crew scuttled her and run up the white flag just in time for the crew to get off on the ram, when our boat went down. m. ? 1 .1 ,1 f . t . I. a a ado engineer anu anotner man escapea oy swimminsr to the snore. lie also reports that not more than five minutes after the Indianola sunk, the rebel gunboat went to the bottom, so badly had sLe been used by our boat. He reports further that the Indianola sunk iu 30 feet water, and thinks she can be easily raised when the r'.vtr falls, and that the rebels have not the means of raising ber.

But be- willingly, if possible, than into the body of

fore the 69th has moved their camp, let us take a peep at them and see what the boys are doing. They are in line as if for dressparade ; "but hark I " they are cheering with a will that denotes something new. The Col. is making them a speech. They are giving three times three hearty cheers for tbe ladies of Richmond, while their caps are flying in the air as though a whirlwind had suddenly come among them some are crying while others are laughing they have forgotten all their hardships and piivatioDf, nnd such a glorious good jubilee has not been known to them for many months ; and he who kcows not the thrill of exstacy some little token of remembrance can bring to Lis heart alter months of absence, amid hardships and privations incidental to campaigning, is ignorant of one of the purest sources of happiness of our natura. JJut amidst all our joys there must be intermingled tears of sorrow. There was many lit ' tie delicacies, with names upon them traced in the delicate hand of a mother or sister, and alas, there was none to answer to those names. I wondered within myself whether beside the hearth and board there might not sit some whose thought were wandering far away, calling up some trait of him who was the idol of his home, whose closing lids some fond mother has watched, above whose peaceful slumbers her prayers have fallen, but whose narrow bed was now beneath tbe frowning cliffs of the Chickasaw, or beside the rolling waters of the Mississippi, and his s'eep the sleep that knows no waking. In thanking the ladies for all their good things, I speak but the voice of the entire regiment, and in doing so we feel sensibly tbe inefficiency to call up words or language to express our heartfelt thanks to them. It can but nerve each arm to more noble deeds, and while we feel that we are sustained by the fair hands of the dear ones at home, the gallant 69ih will never turn its back in dishonor to an enemy, so long as there floats a rebel flag. And let each fair donor feel that in return there ascends from each soldier a prayer to tbe throne of eternal God. . We assisted Perry, our gallant Adjutant, in distributing the many nice things, contained in those two boxes, directed to bis care, and "was tired clean out," on not finding any thing marked expressly for Quilp. We did not know we were entirely forgotten, but alas, such are the misfortunes of war. Nevertheless, we seized and possessed ourselves of a can of peaches, donated by Jennie may her shadow never grow less -and when all was satisfactorily dealt out to the boys, we stole silently to the silent precints ot the Adjutant s tent, and there discussed the good qualities Tf the fruit, intermingled with many kind reflections of the Iered ones at home, acd it wculd not have been wholesome for anybody to have said just then that they didn't love the women, or we would have been very unkind to them. The mortality f the regiment ir slowly decreasing. Twenty-five sick and discharged soldier, from the 69th, start for home to-day. There are others who shoild be discharged, and not kept here to die, just because there is power to do so. However this may be, our gallant Co!onel is not to blame.' He is ever watchful for the interests of his men. Tis no wonder the 69th stands as one of if not the best regiment now in this army, noted for its good disc pline, cleanliness of peron and camp, and general good behavior, while under the charge of such officers as Col. Bennett, Perry, Finley, and Chaplain Hobbs. The Parson " does more work than any thirteen Chaplains now in the'service, and if the Government had more such men under eViploy,, our sick lists would not be so large'; and then such officers would not be, as is generally the case, public and intolerable bores. QUILP. P- S. Please send, with your next issue, a faw chunks of ice. It is getting most awful hot down in Dixie. Q. ' A frienl suggests that tbe reason wly the copperhead democracy have adopted the " butternut" as an emblem of the traitorous course they are pursuing towards the Government, instead of ib hickory, is, that the bark of the former, as well as the wood, is brittle, unsound and rotten ; whilst the wood of the latter is sound and endurable, and the bark is so tough, that it can be peeled and made into ropes, strong enough to hang tones with. Whilst they cling to the butternut as characteristic, they dread the avcxoKT as foreshadowing their! fate. '"' - ' v ' " I

CeL WIMer's Brtsraale. The special correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, after speaking of the intention to mount this Brigade, composed of the 17ih, 72d. and 75th InL, 9Sth 11L, and the ISth Ind. Battery, to operate against the enemy as mounted ' infantry, thus speaks of the 17th: . The 17th Indiana recently voted to arm themselves with the celebrated Henry rife, at their own expense. These guns, at wholesale, cost 930 each, without the equipments. When we reflect that this is to be paid out1

of the poor soldier-boy's scanty pittance jf i vI3 per month, which is scarcely sufficient to keep him supplied with such little comforts as every human being ought to have, much less to supply perhaps the wants of his parents or of his children, the heroic patriotism of these noble fellows stands in such bold relief as to challenge the aJmiralion of the nation and of the world. Oh ye of little faith ! ye loyal but doubtful ones at home I do you imagine that the soldiers ye have sent forth are growing tired of the war ? See, then, the nature of their weariness. They are willing to take the I t copper from their pickets and lay it out in the purchase of such weapons as will enable them more effectually to prosecute the sacred strife. Oh ye hissing copperheads 1 did you imsgine that you had so infused your venom into the hearts of the nation'a defenders that they were sick of the service, and anxious at all risks to abandon it ! Did you say to yourselves that your falsehood d treachery had had the desired effect, .Dd that the soldiers of the Union were no longer in earnest! tsenoid their answer, Their blood and toil has secured vou immu- ' a . . . nity and sfety at home, and you make use !0f both in endeavoring to turn them from i . ... their allegiance, and encourage the armed traitors in their front. Uid you think that thus you had discouraged them ? Nay, they are more enlhusiastio to-day than ever before, in prosecuting the war for Liberty and Union. They are willing to forego all the comforts their scanty pittance from the Government might obtain, and devote it all to arming themselvesmore effectually. And It mn uunr vn.i rfthi.- lIhgWn one of John Morgan's bandits. Oh, ye who enjoy ease and luxury in the bosoms of your families, who count your wealth by tens of thousands, and yet prate and whine about tbe expenses of the war look here I Here are six hundred men who have faced the storm and battle for the past two years ; who, month after month have braved the fury of the elements and the assaults of the foe, without shelter from either six hundred men who have subsisted, since the beginning of the war, on the hard bread and bacon six hundred men, not one of whom has a hundred dollars in his pocket, or a second suit of clothes to his back. subscribing more than twenty thousand dollars to carry on the war! Rich men at home! when next a murmur concerning war taxes rises to your lips, think of this, blush for shsme and forbear. The Schools of thx Cocntt. Th inking that a brief notice of the schools of Wayne county might be interesting to the public geLerally, I have concluded to try to prepare such for publication in the various papers ol the county. The new school law prohibits the expending of the revenue in anticipation of its appropriation, and thia being the second year of its operation, all the schools have been open the past winter. Our county contains twenty-two school corporations ; fourteen townships and eight incorporated towns. There are abaut 100 schools in the townships, and about 40 in the towns, counting each teacher employed as having charge of a separate school. The whole number of children in the county between the ages of five and twenty-one, is about 10,500. lhe prices paid to teachers has !iAfn far from uniform. In aorriA of tha nrnnrAtinnft ttiev have rprMved lint 17 i j per month without board the teacher being required to build the fires and clean the school room. In others they have received from 825 to $30 and in one or two, from $30 to 835 per month ; and, very generally speaking, the price is the great desideratum, with too many people. There are exceptions to all general rules, but that "poor pay produces a poor article" is as, true of teaching as of other occupations. I will in this article, notice the schools of the villages in order. In doing so, if I should say something Lot very flattering to oomcbody, I hope L may be excused. CAMBRIDGE. There are about 500 children in this corporation. There are three school-houses occupied by seven teachers. J. C. Stanley U nominally principal, but owing to the; acat'ered situation of the bouses, and the want of system of grading, each teacher is. m a measure, independent of the others. The great benefit of a village corporation is thus lost. The location of the main building is very bad ; being so near the railroad lhat, frequently, during the day, the children and teachers, that ihey may hear each other, are compelled to compete with tbe iwhistliogof a locomotive and the rattling of a iraiu ui can. lira uuiiuiugs are uot iu good repair, but the trustee, E. Raymond, seems to be much interested in the cause, and it ia to he hoped that he will use the power he holds, to improve the school accommodations. I would here remind the teachers that we must show by our works that our schools are profitable places for children, and then the eopIe will do more for them. I was unable to visit two of the rooms iu the town, but of those that I visited I think it nothing but riht to say that tbe order and neatness in Maf ia McClave's room was tbe best. In several of the others, serious defects in these respects existed. In my opinion, the school interests of Cambridge would be much enhanced by securing a good building in a central location, and large enough to accommodate all the pupils. DC BUS, This village contains a boat 400 children. Four teachers are employed. The schools are pretty well graded, and rank among tbe best in the county. The principal, John , Cooper, has no superior among ns as a teacher and disciplinarian. I recommend all teachers, who feel conscious of keeping a noisy schoolroom, to spend an hour or two with riend Cooper, sly word for it, they will try to do better; and try eomes before success.

Such is the fruit. the counseling of coperhead villains, to desert, resist the draft, and other disloyal practices, XdfWe wonder how the Peace Democrats, who favor a Northwestern Confederacy, and "peace upon any terms,1 will relish the following response to their proposals, which we extrsct from an editorial of the Richmond Enquirer: "If they repudiato the debt they have contracted, and abandon the Government they have established, and recant vows, and break pledges, and eat dirt, it is well ; we shall be charmed; the movement will suit us perfectly; and, although we shall not be unwilling to trade with them holding our noses a little not to ahow them all suitable civilities but a proper distance." " Dirt eaters," "contract breakers," "repudiators ! " Appropriate names, truly. Gas Fixtures, See. Messrs.

Death nt Davta Jstlltaa W David J cues Wood d ed at his residence. two miles north of Abington, in this county, on Monday evening, the Zndinsl., of rnsu monia. The deceased had been a resident of Wayne county nearly 47 years, hawing arrived here from Virginia, his native State, in the winter of 1816. He was a soldier in the war between this country and Eng land, at the time peace was made in the Spring of 1815; but had not participated in any engagement. He had been married twice, and was the father of twelve children, all by his first wife. At the time of his emigration to this county he was in possession of very limited means, but by industry, and the strictest integrity, be acquired a competence for himself and family, and has ever been tegarded as one of the most substantial and reliable men of the county. He was never an aspirant to office or public emolument, but ever pursued the quiet occupation of a farmer. and lived in the enjoyment of domestio tranquility, ami reapt abundantly of the rewards of virtaend unostentatious religion. 1 For neatly forty years he was a member of the Baptist Church, and in a full conviction of tbe truth of the doctrines inculcated by that denomination, be passed from time to eternity. His last sickness was of but four days dura-ion, and the greater portion of that time bis suffering was not severe On Monday, tbe 2nd inst., however, the most powerful opiates were required to soothe his paio, which was constant antil within an hour of his death, when all man ifcgtations of suffering disappeared, and as quietly as the sleeping of an infant, and with out the movement ot a muscle or tbe slightest struggle, his life ebbed calmly away. He died in the embrace ot his children, and surrounded by a large circle of sorrowing kindred and friends. Let us treasure the memory of bis virtues and imbibe therefrom the spirit oi justice, moderation, and rectitude, that ever controlled his actions, and marked his intercourse with his fellow-man. tiW We prematurely annoenoed tha decease of Matthew Baskkr, last week ha was then quite low, hence the. report. Ha liogere-l until Tuesday evening last, and was buried ia Eaxlhsm Cemetery, -oa Thursday afternoon. His aga was about seventy ona. C1TIZEITS' BARK. vi ct GOLD t SILVER!
