VERNON REPUBLICAN TIIUHSDAY February 0 For the Itepublicaa, FINE ARTS IN THE S CHOO&ROO AI Two men stood by the brink of the mighiy Niagara. Ore was overwhelmed willi awe and reverence by tho grandeur of the scene before him. The deep tones roinnrr up irora turn awiui abyss, not earth like, thrilling through his whole sou, fill ing it with new proofs of the infinite now er ol the Great Creator. Ho spent hours in contemplniing the beauty and sublimity of thegieat earth-wonder with ever new and increasing duliil.t. The other cast a vacant Btnro upon the rushing, lemming waters, and soon turned away unmoved from the majestio scene, to engage with the idle multitude in the amusements and dissipations of the hour. Whence arose the difference? Was it not owing to, their early culture? Had not their echoolday influences been different? Ahl yes; the I nates of the one had teen cultivated and refined, by the influence of ihe "Fine Arts in the School- rcom;" while those of the other, having Deen Deprived oi in ir elevat ng influence, had become dwarfed and cotrupted. What aro the "Fine Arts in the School room?" Do we rot tee them in Hb pleasaut situation, in tne oeuuiy ot its architecture, Us cheerful character within, its walls hung with drawings and handsome maps, in the happy arrangement of its neat furniture? Do we not there have admirable illustrations of llieir pleasing influence. Gcd made us all lovers of beauty. He placed us in a world of beauty, sea tering along our pathway the lovely i owers in far greater num' er than the thorns. In this chaiming work of beauty, God is the Great Architect, and we are His agents; let us be faithful and aciive agents, ever scattering arouud us the gems of the beautiful. Very much of our happiness depends u on iho nppreciat on ot thu beauties around us. We appreciate the beautiful only as our taste hns be.'n cultivalcd. How necessary then, that it should be cultivated, tin. I that its cultivation should begin with the germ w en i is fresh and cs peeially subject to development, before it shall have be.ome vitiated; when the im- ag nation is void and active; if not then cultivated it never will be. Children are charjicd with everything new and beautiful, and cannot too vividlv express llieir deligh'. Oh! tiien cultivate their tusle and imagination, faculties, which, if ptoperly developed lead to such noble results, opening to view a new world of beauti s, jlevating the aspira tion, ennobling the emotions, Learing the mind aloft from the passions and envvinirs of earth to the imperishable beauties of Heaven, contemplating the unbounded goodnt-ss of the Creator. Children are busy little ere lures, learning lessons from everythini' around Jthem Surely then should their surroundings be of that style which will cultivate a love for the beautilul anil true, to that the germ as it giaduallv developes, may at k-UL'tl) present a beautiful flower, peifect in all its parts. Certainly should the schoolroom, the second home ofchildhood, where so many bright eyed, joyous little ones, all posses sors of immortal souls, meet to receive instruction, where they spend so many hours of their ear v life be one of beauty. Yes, we would make the school house an attractive little temple we would not have those joyous little ones sad and disconsolate in what would too truly seem to (hem a prison house. No, indeed, we would call . to our aid the "Fine Arts," and cast around the school house a c arm which they could not resist. Ihe school room is a great casket of jewels; there aro clustered a group of Jiv ing, active beings; there the verms of Iu ture powjr and greatness. Those same little bare feet that come patting up the walk to-day, may ere long step firmly amid the reverberant ech es in the halls of the stately White House, or perchance with slow and solemn tread, Sabbath af ter Sabbath, pass ud the aisle of the Sane t ary to the sacred desk of the faithful pastor. These little f et now flying over the play ground; in coming years shall leave indelible fool prints on the sands of time marking out a glorious pathway for others. O 1 let this ere at caskjt be a beautiful one; let it ever be bright and shining, that the jewels within, may not tarnish and loose their beauty. Let the Directors of our Common Schools more highly value the elevating influence of (he "fine Arts ol the School room," when se'ecling the situation, let it be a pleasant one, shaded from summer s sun and protected from the cold storms of winter; let it be the home of birds and flowers, ill companions for vouihful minds. In its erection let them study beauty of architecture, and seek for the combination of the ornamental and the useful. In its furni.uro also, we would ask more than the plain b ire forms of convenience; let it be neat and pretiy children will value it much more highly than we think. Let the school nirtpj be handsome, suited to please as well as instruct; those little ones will learn much more and much faster from f ucb than from plain ones. Teachers: you too hve a mission to perform in this work of beauty and art. Let your sketches and drawings grace the walls; let the juvenile artist place hig fetches beside yourd. 'Noble little fel- tow I how much happier he will be, and how much handsomer that school room wiH.. be to him. Let those la eh ins little ij, arown Tour desk with buds and Te with them admire their loveliness, i;wiijf out to'them new beauties. What 1,'Ksnfifl nf fftA Prpfttnr thnsA nliunt minrla maygfusp from that budI or leaf "so won- slovnil.tr rr t i n 1 " iv nil Itlfla lnn ( r n I tufe they will become! How much purer will be their ' imaginative muds, carried away'from the many vices of the world, to the pure land of beauty- and goodnois. Often join with them in happy aonge, often tune those sweet musical voices in hymns of praise to the wonder working God. How much better, how much happier that little schoolband now, which is surrounded by the happy influences of the "Fine Arts" than that one deprived of tbeir gentle teachings; in coming years when those bands shall have been severed, when some of their numbers shall be drifted on one bhore and some on another, then how much happier, how much more useful will be those whose tastes have' been" cultivated ; than those whose tastes' have coriupted by the want of cultivation. Oh! then "Scatter the germs of the beautiful in the lilesBed shrines of school; Let the pure, and the fair, and the graceful here, In loveliest freedom rule. Leave not a trace of defoi mity Iu the temple of the heart; But gather beneath its rouf the gems Of Nature and of Art" Teacher. Martinsburq, January. FROM MARYLAND. For the Republican. Camp Kelly, Mo ,) January 26, 1862.' j Ma. Emtor Dear Sir: .A crowd of other duties has prevented me from ful filling my promise to give you an early account of our removnl from Romney, our destinat on and whereabouts, dec. re haps belter late than never, a ad although a detail of events a fortnight old may be considered stale in this fast age, yet I imagine that any information about the "old Fourth" will not fail to interest many of your readers. Our troops left Romney about eleven o'clock on the n'ght of the 10th inst., and marched eight miles to Springfield, the mud being ankle deep the most ol the way, and carrying our knapsacks, guns and cartridge boxes. We set about to bu Id fires, (sesh rails burn bully) which we laid around until daylight, then resumed our march without any breakfast save some dry fodder which we had in our haversacks. Our destination was Patterson Creek Station, (now called Camp Kelly) on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, eight miles cast of the City ol Cumberland, which place we reached about dark on Saturday night, cold, wet hungry and tired. We pitched our tents in the mud. built fires, carried water to make our customary kettlo of hot coffee, which was drank with a great relish with our good crackers, as we had not had a regular meal for more than twenty-four hours. We then went to carrying rails to floor our tents. Some of us were fortunate enough to capture a bundle of hay to spread our blankets upon. Stretching our blankets-upon them we indulged in the luxury of a relreshmg sleep. No doubt you are curious to know our motives for evacuating Romney. In the first pla'e you must remember that the soldiers are generally as ignorant of the intentions and designs .uf our commander aa other people. It is supposed ihat the railroad here and at Cumberland is ' in danger, as Jackson was advancing bis rtb el for e in this direction. Our force at iIih point was not sufficient to protect the railroad, and as we were the only, troops that were available on short 'notice, we were called to this place, consequently abandoned Romney. Reinforcements continued to con e in for several days after our arrival here. There is now a force at this camp of about twelve thousand, and at Cumberland and vicin ity probably nearly the same number. General Lander now has command of this division. He is in every way well fitted for his position decidedly the right man in the itL'bt place, rerhaps a description of his person w -uld not be uninteresting to those who have not had the pleasure of seeing nim. Me is apparently hlty years of age, about six feet five inches in stature, well proportioned, his head slightly bald, his hair tinged ftilh gray; he has a high projecting forehead, deep set eyes, a Roman cose and a large well formed mouth, indicat'ng decision andtelf-relt-ance. H speaks in a loud, frank tone, with a voice that tells he is a stranger to artifice an 1 deceit. He believes in a vigorous prosecuiioA of the war, and appean impatient at the delay of the Administration. Nothing of import has transpired since I wrote you, in the way of fighting. We still have little'sktrmisbes.or "fide i hows" as i' e call them; the result of which adds to our stock of horses and sesh prisoners, There is a rumor in camp to-day that a Lrce from New Creek had defeated a detachment of rebels at or near Sheata mills about ten miles from r omney this report however needs confirmation. Notwithstanding the stale prediction of a grand advance moveme.it In a few days, i; still seems to be "all quiet on the Potomac." Our regiment is in good condition and fine spirits. Sjme of our boys are on the sick list, but it is mostly bad colds, rheumatisms an.l toie throats, caused from lying on the damp cold ground It has been quite wet and disagreeable (or the last two or tbrje weeks. A few days ago we moved our camp to f lit le rise ol ground about half a mile up the railroa'd toward Cumberland. No doubt the change will prove beneficial to the health of the sold'iLis. Company B is all right. The last three months has made a great enange in our comp ny. J be boys ire better disciplined and belter contented. In perfection of drill we will yield to none other in the regiment. And nons I havi treason to believe atand higher in the estimation of our regimental officers for good order and promptness in the dis charge of duty. The company bas been honored with several promotions. Our First Lieutenant, John re n, baa been promoiea to Adi LLieutcnBnt, A promoted to Adjutant, and our Second Lippitt, has been ap pointed Quartermaster in the p ace of I. Underwood, who I understand has been commissioned as a recruiting officer for the regular officer. Our gallant Captain still aticks to us, as J be promised in the start, and might furnish a profitable ex ample to those Captains who for the sake of a little personal promotion, are willing to forsake the brave boys they promised to "see through," and' accep'ed offices In other regiments and departments. But my paper is most filled, and I must close If anything worthy of note occurs, I will not fail to reDort. We all look forward to the d-iy when we can return in ponce to our homes with the Star Spangled Banner trium phantly waving over our heads, to meet the good people of old Knox. And Ohl to think of the delight; T he thought iilmo.u confounds us, To think that on that bleaaed niirht We'll hug the girls wo-ft behind us. w. u.

Bobel Obituaries of Zoiiiooffar. The Petersburg fVa.) Express tf the 25th says that the tidings of the heavv re verses in Kentucky are gloomy, and bad enough to discourage the South. It adds. to haif a column of general professions of pious resignation, tl:e following candid avowal: We feel unutterable sorrow for the loss of the brave ZallicofTer, who, like the la-mented Garnett, has fallen a martyr to the glorious c use for which he so fearlessly fought, and whose memory will be em balmed in the affections of bis country for generations to come. The Norfolk Day Book says: Gen Zallicoffer was a native of North Carolina, but emigrated when a boy to the State of his adoption. Not only is the death of such a man a serious loss to us at this time, but we fear that the engagement in which he met bis end is the most serious reverse that wj have yet experienced. How shall it be repaired? . Washington, Jan. 29 The President handed, to night, to Champion Vaughan commissions for himself and the following gentlemen, who are to constitute the staff of Joseph H.

Fortsss Monrob , Jan. 27 : The Richmond Dispatch, of Friday, shows that .'he rebels are much perplexed attheir defeat in Kentucky. The Dis patch says; We regret to say that the reporCot the Federal victory in Kentue'-y conveyed to us on Wednesday night from Northern sources, u moro than confirmed by intel ligence received here at the War Depart ment, It appears that our defeat was more decisive than even the northern e. counts had led it to believe. iWBy the very late Southern disnatrhi.. we learn that the rebels aro in tmhU dread of the advance on our rMa in W.i. ern Kentucky, whi h. according to them, nas already commenced.

Secretary Stanton was shown pirate letters to-day from Kentucky, o mtaining important and extraordinary statement regarding the battle at Somerset,. lo wit; That an entire rebel regiment threw dowa their arms in the conflict, and declared Iheirpurpose no longer to fight against thai government. ' This example was followed by eompa nies and indivieuals of othtr regiments and accounts for the complete failure and small slag liter attending a deliberate Con federate attack. ; : ;. -...- General Thomas is not pursuing ZollU coffer's defeated fcrmy, the, rqsds and inadequate transportation not permitting.' He is building a road of thirty miles iu length, to render his advance into Tennessee e. sr and permanent. ' A deserter of otuarl's Virginia Cavalry came into our lines fiis morning, and was brought to Secretary Stanton. He reports that Beauregard has gone to Kentucky with ) 5,000 mei. Gen.

Washington, Jan. 30 Official die- patches from Com. Goldsboro, dated January 26, arrived this morning. Seventeen of the naval vessels were, at that time, in the Sound over and beyond the bulkhead, under immediate command of Com. Rowan in full readiness for operation. Uen. Burnside was preparing his forces to move in connexion v ith t e fleet. ' Com. Goldsboro says thims now loot hopeful, and I si icerely trust we shsll be soon at the enemy. Any deoided approach now to this quarter, on the part of the rebels, with all the force can muster, would certainly result in their speedy capture and destruction. rrpA correspondent of the Louisville Journal nds tbat paper the blatherski- ting proiamation of Ueo. B. Crittenden to the poeple of Kentucky, issued just before, bis defeat and says: lou can scarcely form a conception of the disastrous effects of Gen. Thomas' brilliant victory over the rebels upon them in their precinitate flight. It transcends Bull Run. They fled by every bv-wsv and mountain path the public road being insufficient to admit them in their hurried" flight. Thev threw away their guns. knapsacks, everything. The wagons were left in the road loaded with flour, the teamsters aud others cutting their horses loose and mounting them, olhira seizing all the horses in the country. , Many of the wounded fell by the way, and tbey are strung along from Mill Springs to Sparta, in Tennessee. The most complete consternation existed among them, and after they hid passed the Kentucky 8tate line, in Fentress snd Overton counties, Tennessee, the people partook of the alarm, and-all the rebel aiders and sympathisers, with! their wives snd children, fled in dismay. No army was ever so completely routed and scattered. They never can and never will be gotten together again. Yon can-! not draw to i highly colored a picture of this retreat from Mill Springs, and of its disastrous results. Those who were at Bu'l Run could not conceive of ibis Mtreat before the victorious army of the Union. It is said that George Crittenden got drunk at Monticello, and was bsrely able, to ride off so as to mako his ewcape. He urged the alighted rebels to fly for their lives, telling them that Gen. Thomss, with Wolford's cavalry and 60,000 men, wert a Tier them. The rebels it is sail, denounce in the bitterest terms the rebel Gen, Crit-.enden.Livirpool. January 17. Notwilhstand- ing the rumored sale of tbe Nashville sb continued to fly the Confederate flag. No-sale bas been registered at tbe Admiralty. Mr. Gelpin, of Northi mpton, declared tbat the lack of sympathy with the North was because the North had not identified themselves with tbat first prine;ple of (heir Constitu'ion, whioh declares all men born tree and equal, but be believed the question had now become, slavery or freedom. He called on Englishmen to hesitate before they directly or indirectly sanctioned a premature and unnecessary acknowledge-' ment of the South. , Lord Henly, at a former meetincr tittered similar sentiments. Mr, Br esford Hope took rather onpo site grounds. He believed that if the Southern Confederacy established its in dependence, t would lead to the ameliora tion of tbe condition of the slavr. ' 7 At Norfolk, recently, all Union mca were told that on repor ing themselves to the rebel authorities they would be sent North via Fortress Monroe. A large nam-b r accordingly presented themselves, but were shipped to Richmond fcr safe keeping. , tWK telegraphic dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch, dated Charleston, South Carolina, J.nuary IJ, states Ibat twenty Federal vessels were seen that day off Charleston bar.
