SIR enclose herewith the findings and sem
tence Of the Court Marshal. convened on the 7tb
instant, for your trial, which imposes upon me
the task of expressing in the form of reprimand
my opinion OF your conduct as proven before
the Court Martial.
However lenient the sentence in your case
may seem to be, l have approved it, as can con-
ceive of no punishment more severe than dis
missal in time OF war from a squadron actively
engaged before the enemy. The sentence, while
it condemns in most signal manner, your
conduct, cuts you off from further association in
this squadron, with men whose patient endur-
ance of the most trying duties, and whose charac-
ter for courage, obedience, and subordinaton,
have won my highest appreciation.
How different he's been your course Scarce
ly day on the station, and you dsobey orders.
arrogate to yourself the duties belonging to a
ommander-in-chief, talking of opening upon
the town, and of ordering the troops to advance
when you had but one gun, and not solitary
soldier, and :" all for the purpose" Gas you saw
" of securing an unmolested entrance of the
squadron into the rivers
1t would be difficult,i not impossible. TO point
to another instance of similar folly; and the most
charitable construction that can be given to il.
is--that in the citation Of first command Won
had truly imagined yourself actually in command
of the naval aud military attachments then an
preaching and within a short distance of the
scene of your exploits.
With due respect,

The Hawkeye declares that we are OF
''.he Ohio school of dsorganizers," a reg
ular barn burner" etc. Such are ,he
weapons with which it seeks to supply the
place Of that "pickied rod" wherewith he
had thought to ann!hilste us; and such are
the arguments with, which he meets our
exposure Of the wicked prohisacy of the
federal majority in The House of Repre-
sentstives, by which many important en-.
actments, includngthe school laws, have
been SO seriously "vitiatsd" as to destroy
their efficacy for year hence; and also, the
daring bardihood of,he federal members in
refusing to resign the power which they
had SO tagrantly abused, as was proposed
to Them by the democratic members.
If by the term "disorganizers," as it is
natural to infer, that sheet intends to indi-
cate those honest advocates Of equal rights
who are found constantly aud fearlessly
striving to disorganize and route the mod
ern wing party and thwart their schemes
offederal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, we plead guilty
10 the charge. So long as democrat calls
down upon himself the inveclives of the
embittered organs of federalism, and is de-
bounced by them as disorganizer, it is
pretty evident that he is doing good service
in the cause of democracy, ami that he is
not disorganizer Of his own psaty; for,
If he were, he would be cordially hailed

far from endeavoribg to destroy his in

him up as perfect pattern of political
virtue and fidelity. The real dis organiz-
ers, the traitors, are always held up by
the federalists as true and genuine demo.
Gratis. Such politicians never close their
democratic caste" with the crafty leaders
Of the federal party.
As regards the spprobrious epithet of
"ba'n burners" applied by those public
swinders who have revealed in wealth
wrung from the hard earnings OF the toll
ing million, under a legaized system Of
pillage and plumber, to that class Of un.
compromising democrats who could never
be frightened, bribed or bulied into tame
submission to The bank aristacracy, we
shall not object to that nor any other term

displeasure, see fit to apply to us. 1t mat

you do not call us iederalist, tory, or a

SLAVERY IN THE CONQUERED TERR1To-
RY. The Evening Post copies the Speech of
Preston King, and, in an editorial reference
to it, says
There is but one way ofsetting the ques-
ton which the people will tolerate The new
acquisition of territory must be exempt from
the curse of Slavery and open to the emigra-
ton Of Free Laborers from the North and
West. 1t will be the wisdom of the South to
consent to this arrangement early, as we be-
lieve most of the Southern Members had made
up their minds to do at the last session. The
determination to insist upon the exclusion Of
Slavery from the domain we may yet acquire
is far more earnest and firm than superficial
politicians at Washington are aware Of
If the Post will only stick to its text, and
not back out, as it virtually did on the Texas
question, we shall be glad We hope it
speaks truly respecting the earnestness and
frmness of the determination to keep Slave
ny out of the conquered territory. On this
question the North ought to present an undi-
vided front without respect to party lines

Trip to Canada in 1914.
BY A VERMONTER.

At Burlington took the steamer Saranac and at
six o'clock next morning found myself in St. Johns,
Canada, Immediately took my baggage to Motifs
hotel, one of the best in that town. St. Johns is
large town, situated at the head of navigation on
Lake Champlain-half French and half American in
its style of building, noticed that the government
had garrison of about five hundred men in this
place. Wishing to proceed to Chambly, was COM
PEELED to hire private conveyanceas no stage went
there that day. accordingly embarked there with
'habatan," as my driver did not speak much En-
glish. Throughout the country the Canadians sa-
luted us with touch of their hats. We proceeded
for about six miles along the banks of the Chambly
canal. This is a well built canal which resembles
very much the Erie or Great Western canal, though
the business done on it is not so large. | saw but
one solitary boat there. The rest of our route lay
along the Sorell river, which is very rapid and in
places shallow, till breaches Chambly. Chamblyis
pleasantly situated on this river at the head ofnav-
igation. A steamboat plies between this place and
Montreal twice week, Chambly is divided into
two villages, which are a mile apart, called the
French and English villages. AS to manufactures,
noticed but two paper mill and wooden factory.
The public buildings are comprised of the Barracks,
where are stationed battalion Of the list Regiment
of Royal Hghlanders, a Methodist chapel and an
English church. These are all situated in the En-
glish village. In the French village there is Cath
Ole church and college. After remaining here
three days set out for the city of Montreal by the
way of Longueil, over plank road, sixteen miles
distant from Chambly.
The St. Lawrence river is three miles wide at
Louguei, and nine at La Frarie which is four miles
