School of the Mechanics' Institute. --The closing exercises of this school will be held on Friday night, in the school-room of the Institute. Similar occasions heretofore have been productive of much gratification to large audiences, and doubtless the public still feel an interest in learning the success of the instructors in teaching the young idea how to shoot. This interest will induce a numerous attendance, and as the ladies are especially invited, they will probably honor the school by their presence. The scholars will exhibit their proficiency in declamation, after which addresses will be delivered by Mr. A. M. Bailey, President of the Institute, and Col. Thos. J. Evans.

the necessity of resistance, a poem "The Southland fears no Foe,"a declamation on the glories of the Union, and two comic dialogues admirably rendered. There may have been other performances by the boys, but they are not now called to mind; but it may be truthfully said that all the youngsters acquitted themselves most handsomely, and reflected very great credit upon themselves and upon their instructors. At the conclusion of the exercises, the President introduced to the audience Thomas J. Evans, Esq., who delivered an address to the school. The theme of the discourse was "Obedience," and the basis idea this pregnant sentence. "No man is fit to govern who has not learned to obey." The value of obedience, in the family, in the school-room, and in society, was ably enforced, and much of the disorder, anarchy and confusion of the times in this country was traced to the failure to inculcate the virtue of obedience among those charged with the training of the young Obedience to law

Poolesville, where Brig, General Stone's column is lying, and up to Darnestown, which is the headquarters of Gen. Banks's force. Early yesterday morning, before dawn, a detachment of 400 men, of the 15th Massachusetts Regiment, crossed over and proceeded on the road to Leesburg, without encountering the enemy till they got within a mile or so of the town. At the same time a small force of cavalry marched on their flank towards the left. Both were met at last by the Confed rates, under General Evans, and were driven back to the river, where the infantry made a stand, reinforced by the remaining companies of their regiment, by the 20th Indiana, and apparently by Baker's Californians. As the islands in the river had been occupied by the Federalists, it seems to me as if Gen. Banks had been ordered to advance and occupy Leesburg, in the expectation that it was lightly held, but the Confederates were somewhere in the neighborhood, and, as far as I can make out, they succeeded in fo
