Colonel Thomas.

We are panied to be called on u record the
death of our esteemed fellow.townsman, HEN.
RY THOMAS, who died at his residence on Sat.
urday last ut about o'clock p. M. Col. THoM-
As was long resident Of Burlington, and one OF
our most active, enterpri sing and energetic clt''
zens Although he has been absent during almost
the entire period Of our residence here, we knew
him we'll enough to feel the most affectionate
respect for the generosity, kindness Of t,and
li,eraity, that were marked features Of his char.
acter. Where restitution and poverty implor-
ed for aims, and where sickn ess could be cheer
ed by the good Offices of ready sympathy, Col.
THOMAS was apt to spare neither his purse nor
himself; while he was ever active in those en-
terprises Of public character which promised
to advance the prosperity Of Burlington or con-
tribute to its progress and improvement
The death of Col. THOMAS takes from us
one whose place,in the relations of a citizen q
friend, cannot easily be supplied; while that
narrower circle, which hens in the higher and
dearer social relations which bind the heart &c
earth, (but whose affection is tempered by the
bright remembrance Of his happy departurc,) is
irrcparably broken.

ed respecting the geography of the country lying
west Of the Green Mountains. Our reminis.
cences Of that terrible campaign would furnish
several amusing instances illustrative of this
ignorance, but we prefer to take one furnished
by the intelligent and generally accurate Editor
OF an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Boston Journal
Our readers will notice the lines above that we
have marked by italics. Now we undertake to
say that the editor of the Traveller believes pre-.
cisely what he says. For his information, then,
and that of his readers, if he deems it Of any
consequence to correct the error we observe
that from Boston to Whitehall, "by the way of
Troy and Albany" it is, by railroad routes, TWO
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX MILES while from
Boston to Whitehall, by the way of the Rut-
land Road" it is, one hundred and eighty eight
miles, making difference in favor Of the latter
route Of ss miles If, therefore, when " the
awful railroad from Troy to Saratoga is relaid
with good solid Trail, it will become ia
vorite route (from Boston to Montreal &C."
it must be in conformity with the old adage that
:" the longest way around is the shortest way
home"
Again, as piece Of private information,
which the 7rareler can use exclusively Gas " no
other paperGn Boston)appears to have the news)
we observe that, when the Rutland and White.
hall roads shall be completed, it will be just ten
miles nearer, by that route, from Boston to So
ratoga Springs, "than by the 'cay Of Troy and
Albany"-the latter being 237 and the former
227 miles-besides being through considerably
more picturesque and interesting country!
We ask nothing for this information because
Boston people are under no obligations to know
anything more than they please on such topics.

Magnetic Telegraph through Western Vermont,

in which all classes in the community are more
interested than it may be possible for them to
perceive at once, should possess the sympathy

the man of leisure. Substantial as have been

The Philadelphia News" does us injustice, when it
says that 'blow hot and cold time predicting

The positions are not at all incompatible We do not
look for peace at this moment from Mr. Trst but we
think there prospect of next year, propded we do
our duty and prosecute the war with adequate Wig
or. We always presuppose this condition-that Con-
gress will furnish the supplies; and that defeat
ed as the Mexicans are, and pressed as they ought
to be, they will sue at distant day for peace In
the very article TO which the News refers we call
for more men, and we conclude it by saying, With
the proper degree of energy, shall be able to Sc
cure an honorable peace at no distant day." In sub
sequen article, speaking of the brilliant affairs of Chds
and OF Lane, we say Such blows continued some time
longer and struck with the characteristic energy of the
American character, must us honorable peace
through an honorable war" In another we contend
that nothing can defeat satisfactory peace but the Ian
guage of the opposition and the refusal of necessary sup
plies We might have peace indeed, on Mr. Claws plan
But what sort OF peace peace without indemnity
and with dishonor
But the News" is guilty of that species of garbling
our sentences and misrepresenng our sentiments which
is common to the wing press and which, we are sorry
to say, the Baltimore American is sometimes unable to
escape.
