The friends of this intrepid soldier will be glad to hear that his wounds are doing Wall, ?nd that he is already getting about a little on his crutches. Mr. W. S. COVAU, son of our old townsman, Mr. SnKititT Covan, has also just got home from Virginia; ho has boeu brought low by typhoid pneumonia, but "Heme, swoetHouu" has already set him upou his feet. Thou shalt not Croak ! . ?. We manufacture ? now commandment to suit the times. Our country abounds with croakers ; they are as plenty as the frogs that were sent te visit rebellious Pharaoh who reigned over the land of Egypt The record ef these Egyptian croakers however, dees not show that th ay kept up by any means so incessant and discordant a s-ron ?do as our white-livered Confederate perform ers. These latter aro creaking in every style of voice from tho highest iopranodoicn to the luwesi butta pro/undo ; and what is werse, they have been on the cr??e??d?? moli? ever since the fall of Vicksburg. Th.:y see every thiug in a distorted form, and all adverse news is magnified tea fold; the ab sence of news is interpreted by them te indicato fearful disaster and they insist upon drinking the' cup of woe to its vary dregs. They exclaim : I xiii drown, and no man shall save mo. If the army makes a retrograde movement, thoy at once infer disastrous results as haring happened, or about to happen*; if we get no news at all, they are then positive that irretrievable disasters hara befallen us-that the whole Confederacy is aani hilated-that there bas been a general smash-up North, South, East and West If Gen. Lee does not telegraph that he has changed bis shirt, er Gen. JOBXSTOM that he has had hi* buwts cleaned, or'Gel; BKAOO that he has washed bis feet, they at once imagine that the shirt, thc boote and the feet, with their respective owners, have become lawful booty of the Yan? . kees. Our eau; j is not lost nor endangered by the fall of Vicksburg, if the Government and people will now set about hand and "aeart to repair the damage and drive back the invader. If Vicks burg had imrrendored a year age, tho disaster would not Lave been considered half as crushing as either tho fall of Lonelson er New Orleans ; and it is to ba doubted to day, when considered ju any but a maral point of view, in Its effects upon tho enemy and upon our own people, whether the lossof that city is a greater disadvantage io us in a military aspect than many similar discom fitures during this war. We'will continue te have dasbiug leadors on both sides of tho Mississippi, who with halterios and sharpshooters on thc bar.ks of the river, tim auuoy the boats and troops pass ing down, to an ?xtoct which wili render tho trip more precarious tbau profitable. Neither dovsMs bile necessarily fall, from theoapture of Vicksburg. Naturally a defensible position, and difficult of access by laud and water, we do not -iee that with proper rosu'uiiou and preparation un tho part of its citizens and the authorities, why it will not be able to make as successful a resistance as Rich mond or Charleston. Why then cronk ? 'TU true that Gen. LBS has entered Pennsylva nia, and after the severest battle of the war, has ?eon forced to fall back-bas recrossed the Poto mac and is again on the soil ef Virginia. The result so far as we are able' to judge from the lights before us, has not iucroased either our moral or material strength. Our confidence, however, in our great leader and the noble army he commands is unabated, and what has boen done may all be for the best. Vo at least ought to wait and seo-and not croak. Charleston has not Mian, ner lo we beliero it wilt fall. Butif it should, the truo and bravo will seo in such a caiualty, cause for renewed aid increased effort, and will redouble their resolution to drive tho iuvader from tba soil. A blow like that should call into action all the spirit uf the country, and our peoplo should then let it bo seen that they have not yet done all they are capable of doing. Every thing depends now upon the oolerity and rigor of eur movements. If (he people allow themselves to bo frightened oat of their wits into x disgraceful panic, they may be sure the military will partake of their fears, and the whole become i confused and disjointed mass, at the pray of the ?rell organised forces of the enemy ; but if tho ?eople are calm and true, standing firmly by their .uns, and yielding a ready assistance to the au horities, all will come out of the struggle with i glor?oc s consciousness that they have acted as lecome the descendants of th* patriots of '76, and viii deserve the success with which the God of >attles neror yet failed to crown the efforts of a >e?ple who remained faithful to a good cause. In coaclnnion, wo would suggest that the publie rill eave itself much disquietude and discomfort, f it will refuse to believe reports put afloat and :ept in'circnlation by faint-hearted aud white tverod croakers ; and wait the reception of news brough thc regular ohannels.

The his tory of this rcbool for the last four years has been full of anxiety, disappointment and sndnOs. I would not murmur against the Good Being who has ordered it thus. I would rather thank Him for bis graeiou? help, by which I was enabled to. continue the school under many and serious em barrassments. '.? feel deeply indebted to.those patrons and pupils who always git TO their confi dence and hearty co-operation. Kind friends, I thauk you from my heart, for the sjinpathy, goad wishes, and help, which made tho bardon io' much lighter, I am sadly conscious that the hopes which first brightened thc enterprise, ind the plans which aimed at enlarged usoftilne.is, have net been real ized, but we.did all that the strength and resources at command would permit. If Providence had granted the accomplishment of all that was in the heart of tho oat nest laborer, who was willing to enduro and did endure anxiety, toil, and sacrifice io the oausc of oducation, many would have re joiced and bleu ad his natue. Of him I may write with an honest pen, " h? did what ho could." Bul, ?hall tho many unfavorable cirouinstancos of the past, causa us to despair of success 7 Will the friends of this Institution cease to hope that it may yet become what it was designed to be, a blessing and an ornament to the- Village and District ? True, " the workmon die," but, " thc work goes on." Let thii work go on. For my own part, I am more anxious than- ever that this School should do the work that is so muoh needed in EdgeCeld District, and I am even more hopoful than cvor that FI may establish here upon a ?er mattest basis, aa institution-that shall furnish at home evury desirable facility for securing a liber al education.

The wards whore the highest excitement bad prevailed, were lilied with large. bodies of inililury, who patrolled the streets entirely unn>ole-*led by the populace." Mayer Opdj'Jce bad issued a proclamation, in which he fays, the riotous assemblages having beon dispersed, business is running in its u.xual channels. The people aro warned ngainrt unlawful combinations, having for their object the usurpation of thu laws ; io give no heed to persons warning them to de sist from their occupations ; but to arrest such persons for punishment as conspirators.
