The chief criticism we would make is that some of the pupils ' ppeke in so low a tone as to make it d:l5.:ult or im- j possible for mir.y of the audience to hear.

The Ttmes's Correspondent ; who accompanied Stoneman's raid gives the following : particulais: His whule lurce cross.ed cn the 2'Jth of April, at Kelly's Ford, and moved on to the Orange and Alexandria railroad, where it met two rebel reg iments. After a tkiimish, tne latter retreated to wards Goi lonsiiIe. Gen. liuford'e forces crossed the Rapidan at Mor ton's Ford, cau-ing 1,6;J'J in.'antry to vacare Raccoon Ford. They then crossed the Rappahannock. A few minor captures were made. Uu the 1st May our forces got close ou tiie betid of the rebel forces at Oiaiige Springs, who, to escape, ab.ndoned their wagons and provisions. On the 21 May, Louisa Court House was occupied without opposition. The railroad track towards Gor dons ille was destroyed for 10 miles, and 2 trains of Cars were buried. Soon after, on the same atternoou, a detach wren t destroyed a portion of the road between (Joidsville and Charlotteville. Another detach ment, under Colonel H'j ndLam, proceeded to Colum bia on the James river, and destroyed 5 locks on the canal, 5 bridges, boats and a large quantity of Com missary s'.orts. An attempt to destroy the aqueduct was unsuccessful. Several hundred horses were taken. A part cf tne 5th Cavalry reached the rivei between Columbia and Richmond and destroyed the locks and levees and act on fire the bridge across the Jaioe river. Gen. Gregc's furce proceeded on the Fredericksburg road to Ashlmd and destroyed the depots in the town, the cars, provisions und telegraph; a detach ineut was sent to burn the bridge over the South Anna, but it was found sttongly guardel. A portion of bis force, under Kilpatnck, moved eastward to the Central Railroad and destroyed the bridge ou that road over the South Anna. They captured and destroyed a train of cars, and culverts and t he track for U) miles. They then passed down the Peninsula. Another portion of Gregg's command, under Col. Davis. crosed the road near Richmond, destroying the railroad and bridges over the Riock river and a train of cars. Another detachment burned all broken bridges over he South Anna to prevent the enemy making a fiauk movement. On the 0th a retrcgale movement commenced, and the whole force arrived at Kelly's Fold on the j morning of the Kih. Our whole lo-s was - killed and ab. ut it') wounded ami taken prisoners. Negroes j joined the column in rb-cks. and begged to be taken j away. They everv w here g ne in valuable inturma- I tioti, and acted i.s guides at several points. I Gen. Averill has been relieved of his command for ' not keepn.g open communication with Stoncmm ; and following the orders for bis par; of the cavalry j tX edition. 2t.xr loEK, May 8 A special dispatch to the Tinns says Gen. Sioughton ha arrived from Rich mond. He says that on Monday morning the far mers rushed into the city with the news of Stone man's appearance in the suburbs, and was gobbling up everybody as prisi.,ers. The bells were rang and feartul consternation ensued. Families packed up their goods. The military guard at Libby prison were ordered to fortifications. The fright continued until Tuesday, when it became known that he (Sione mau) was on his way down the Peninsula. Stough ton states that Siotiernau's force went within sight of Richmond, und that four of our men were captured within a mile and a quarter of the city, l'hete were only troops in the city. Nkw Yohk, May 8 The I h rail has a letter from a prisoner, dated Richmond, the 6th, which states that so great was the coristernat i.m felt there that Stonernari's forces could have entered Richmond 011 Moil lay and seized Jetf.

Considerable excitement ex isrs in Dayton in consequence of the arrest of Vallan digham. At dark last night a mob of 5UU or GOO persons gutted the Journal oflice and barued the building.

Tbe Dayton Kmpire (Vallandighaiu's organ) has been suppressed and theVlitor iuipi isoned. Vallan digham is being tried to-day before Military Court. The proceedings are secret. It is understood that he declined plea ling and protested against the proceed ings. He denied the jurisdiction of the Court and H-ked for a continuance, that he might enter a written plea. Ibis was denied. A petitku is in circulation in Cincinnati and other parts of Ohio, representing that the sacred right of , the citizen, as guaranteed by the i institution, has , been violated by the arbitrary ariest, illegal trial 1 and inhuman imprisonment of Yallandigham ; there : fore, they demand of the President of the United ! States bis immediate and unconditional release Cincinnati, May 20. Vallandighaui was last ev ening (d iced ou a gunboat, which is now anchored til the levee. His transfer to the boat was very ; quietly done, and attracted no crowd. Those who : saw him say that he looked sad and much bit ken . down. He certainly goes to Foil Wairen, but by ; which route is not known. ; Cincinnati, May 22 The President ha approved ' cf the tiudincsof the court in the case of Vailandig , ham, an 1 dirocte 1 that he be sent to the South instead of to Fort Warren. He will be sent to Louis ville, and thence through Roseerans's lines to Dixie. ! from New Orleans. I All the cob-red regiments in 15 ink's department, : ha 1 been turned over to Gen.

The Democratic State meeting, yesterday, was very largely atfended. A ! good deal of excitement ptevailed. Daring the day t from 40 to arrests were made fr carrying conceal- ; t l weapons cheering for Jetl Davis, etc. A military guird was plac.d in dif'ertnt parts of tbe city, and a ( patrol in the stteets in the vicinity of the squire j where the meeting was beid, to prevent disturbances, i The speeches c-jnsisred principally in opposition to ' the war measures of the Administration, saving that the Convention assembled f. r the purpose of discuss- ing grievances and petitioning for redress, atiJ pro- j testing in the name of the Democracy, against the . flisrant and wicked abuse which had placed Vallan- j uighaui in rison. At S o'clock iu the afternoon, i resolutions were introduce 1 and hurriedly passed, j amid great confusion. On several of the trains !eav- ; ing the city, last night, the Secessionists commenced firing on the soldiers aid houses on the line of the ; railroad. The military authorities ordered the trains to be stepped ar.d the passengers searched. About j 500 revolvers were taken and numerous arrests were i made. i Tiik Cava Lit t Raid into Georgia. A Baton Rouire letter of the 5th says the importance of Col. Grierson's expedition can hardly be lealized without .some reflectiou on what h.13 been accomplished. In j 17 dys the troops have inarched over S10 miles; trav- j eled through the very heart of the rebel domain, and j fought at every point where they met with opposition, j They killed an 1 wounded a large number of the trie- ' niv ; destroyed over Sl.OW.WO worth of property, I which would have been of immense assistance to the rebels iu the prosecutiou of the war. Ou two im portant railroads they completely cut off all coiatnu ideation with the strongholds cf the enemy, captured u'" .wv yi.souers, t,.w cor.-es, anj at pvnta where they were least expected. An idea of the activ ity of Col. Grierson's command mav be gaiued when the fact is Mated that in hours they marched To miles, fought four battles, skirmished considerably, forded rivers and ail the time neither the men uor hortes Lad anything to eat. The Savannah Republican of the ISth, expresses apprehensions of another invasion of Georgia, and bays : Oar dispatch announces the marching of 7,000 or tf.OW Yankees upon Rome, in this State. No par ticulars given of their whereabouts, and cniy assur ance that preparations were being made to repei them. Arrangements are being perfected to increase our cavalry; and it is asserted that within six months we will have 1UO,0J additional troops of this arm in service. TaisccIIaiitoiis Tclcgrniii. A letter dated from oil Mobile, May 7ih, states that the Anglo-Rebel steamer Kune was captured on the night previous by the gunt.oats CuyUr ai d Kanawha.

Lirant after destroying the State House arid rebel stores in Jacks . n, .Uiss., evacuated that place. IJalumoiu:, May 25. An officer of the flag slpp Iltrtford in a htter dated M iy Utli, says: Not withstanding the reports of the destruction ot the Iltrtford, she Mill is afloat, and maintains her posi tion at the tiiouth of tiie Red river. A Michigan soldier who was accused of stealing i Rebel's goose, said that he found the bird hissing M the American flag, anl arrested it for tieasoii. The gallant Poles are uing wooden guns quakers in their struggle for liberty. Solid logs ot timber are bored and made into guns, which do execution for half a dozen shots. The supply of this artillery is piactically boundless. Mrs. Semrnes, wi:e of the Captain of the pirate .ilaba ma , who has been residing at Cincinnati ail winter, and is violent in her denunciations of our Government and of our caus-.-, has, it is sail, been ordered to prepare heiself to be sent into the rebel l.ties. Gen. Sige! "has resumed the command of his old Corps. The Tribune says that G. n. Stoiighton w as informed by iebel officers who were at Charleston during the light that Fort Sumter was ou the point of surrendering when our Monitors hauled oil. The Tribune's special telegram states that the Provost-Marsh.ils have been directed to draft forth with, but it is duubiful whether any draft can be made before the middle of July. Volunteers may be called for in the meantime. It is reported that the friends of Issac V. Fowler, the defaulting Postm: ster of New Yoik, have been iucct ssiul in arranging bis aflairs at U'ashir gton, and that at no distant day be will again be a resident of New York. Nkw ioik, May 23 The store-ship Carrier brings news of an engagement on the ll;h between a detachment of our forces and about l.UUO rebel soldiers on Morris Island, in which conflict the latter were driven back across the creek. Our loss was one msri wounded It seemed to be the general impres sion that the Monitors would attempt the reduction of the outer forts along the beach, before again attacking Fort Sumter. Mitrimony has proved a good speculation for Torn Thumb and his wife, who have taken on an average SI ,000 per day , for admission to their levees, since their marriage. Capt. Worden of the original Monitor, says iu the most emphatic manner that everything which A J mi ni I Dupont has done in the matter of Charleston and the iron clads, receives his approval. Capt. Worden has been ordered to report, when the condition of bis health permits, to Admiral Gregory, at New York, to assist iu fitting out the iron-clads now constructing. English merchants, Who possess two-thirds of all the foreign trade of Japan, make bitter complaints of the bad faith of the government of that country.

Dr. Adams's church on Madison square, were Gen. McClellan and Mrs. Marcy and dmzhter the latter the General's mother in law and si.-ter-in law, who joined by letter the former by profession. The scene was witnessed by a large and deeply interested congregation. The font au 1 altar were beautifully adorned with Ibwers, it being Easter Sunday, but there was no departure from the usu il observances on such occasions. The New U. S. Postal Law. This law signed by the President on the 3d dny of March, contains several sections which are cf special interest to Caii foniians. It proviJes that from and alter the SOtli day of June. 18f.S. the postage n all domestic letters to any part of the Uniin. not exceeding a half ounce avoirdupois in we'ght. shall be U cents, and f r any additional weight at the rate of 3 cents for every aJ- ditiunal half ounce or fraction thereof, all of which is to be prepaid. The 10 cent postage on letters be- ; tween California and the Eastern States will thus be j abolished after the S':h cf June.

American affairs have received little c-tnajent. The London Tines expatiates on the importance of the capture of Vicksburg anl Port Hudson, and ears that it would open the Mississippi to tbe Northwest, dismiss the growing disaffection there, and enable the federals to claim one more great victory of the war. The news received both from Paris and Mexico t?eem to foieshalow a speedy recall of the French army from Mexico, l he idea of the expedition was originally based upm, and has been supported in French political circles by the assumption that the Lnion and consequent power of th lmfid Srtfs was at an end Europe is abandoning that fallacy now, anj so Louis Napoleon relinquishes his designs , on Mexico. ! The Charleston failure attracts much attention. ! The Tines regards it hs a catastrophe more signal ; than any reverse the North has yet sustained, and draws the moral that forts are still more than a : match for iron dads. The Daily .Yews says that it ' is pueri.e to describe the repulse as a catastrophe and doubts whether many sensible Americaus ever expect ' ed to see Charleston taken by the fleet. The Confed j erate loan had slightly advanced under the news. Bitter Relations of Pki-sia and Austria. The ' relations between the two great powers of Germany ' have for some time past taken a character of bitter j ness and open hostility which seems to portend seri 1 ous conflicts. The disent is sometimes upon material : questions and sometimes upon matters of internal legislation. The Prussian Government, after having ; renounced the important part which placed it at the ; head of political and material progress 111 Germany, ! is embarrassed by the antecedents of the liberal ' policy followed by the men whom it has succeeded. I The popularity of Austria has increased by all that ! Prussia has lost. i 'lhe London Times of April ISth contains an ac ! count of an interview between a deputation of ship j owners and Kirl Russell, the object of which was to j call the attention of the Secretary to the uusatislac i tory state of trade between Rritish ports und those of ! Mexico. Th? speaker of the deputation said that j they were not content with the unfair and illegal j course hi ing pursued by the Federal Government, j who considered themselves entitled to dictate what j trade should be carried on by British vessels, show j inn as evidence a letter from Minister Adams to j Admiral I'upont, giving permits to certain vessels : bound for Matauioras to pass without interference I from the Federal cruisers. This permission had j caused considerable comment in the lioli.-h j oirnals, j and wis the sulj.'ct of debate in both Houses of Par , liament. The vessels with permits were said to have j bid caigoesot arms and ammunition for the Mexi I cans. Both Houses of Parliament were engaged concern ing the seizures of British ships in neutral waters and protection granted by Mr. Adams to Mexican traders. Many speakers urged that such proceedings cannot be permitted. Mr. Roebuck declared himself for war, and to put down the upstart's insolence. The Ministers and their supporters counselled mode ration, and deprecated t he violence of some of the speaker.

Losses i.v the Russian Campaign A writer in the Washington Chronicle contends that Americans know nothing of military disasters," and proceeds to fortify his assertion by a statement of the losses suffered by the French in the fame us Russian cam paign of Napoleon. The grand army of invasiou consisted of 801,'J7o men and 103,bo4 horses. Dur- j ing tbe short campaign of nineteen we. ks anil two i days the losses of the Freuch, purely military, amounted to the enormous number of 247.000 men and U2.000 horses ! These statistics are derived from official statements of the War office of Paris. But other French armies besid s that under the im mediate command of Bonaparte entered Russia, aud took part in and prolonged the campaign. The total force numbered 047,000 men, of whom 000,000 were combatants The number of those who got out of Russia was 85,000. The loss of the French, then, during that brief campaign of twenty-five weeks, was five hundred and sixty-two thousand meu aud nine huudred cannon ! onuii(c Notice J lnii:iii Cwnoiiln tf nt HoNiiLI'Ll-, .lune 1st. 15C3.
