The Ratification Convention.

Glad rs we should have been to have seen the
noble Wings Of Windham County bearing full
share in the deliberations of the State Conyen-
ton, we cannot deplore the misunderstanding
which brought them out on Thursday. The
truth is, the Ratification Meeting, arranged on
the spur of the occasion, was one Of the happi-
est things that could possibly have occurred
With no formahtes and no loss of time in the
routine Of ordinary convention duties, the assem-
bly, repaired to a beautiful grove, in procession,
led by an excellent band of music, and having
been called to order by the Hon. John Dewey,
Chairman of the State Committee, the proceed
ngs and resolutions Of the State Convention
were reported aud unanimously ratified, and
then about four hours were occupied in brief,
pithy and patriotic speeches, unstuded and spon
taneous offerings upon the Wing altar, winch
met cordial response from warm Wing hearts.
Hon. David Crawford ofPutney presided. To
ourself was assigned the duty Of introducing
the business of the day, by reporting the pro-
ceedines and resolutions Of the State Conven.
ton and inviting the concurrence OF the meet
ing. Brief speeches were made BY Messrs
Schouler of Boston, Dewey of Burlington. Kirk.
land of Bruueboro Bradley of Burlington
Stoddard Of Grafton, Clark Of Burlington, Heale
Of Chester, and others, whose names do not oc.
cur to as at the moment.
We hope 10 have full account Of this happ,
meeting. Suffice it to say now that it icas eve.
nv way a happy one.

Discovery IN Eggpt-A most Interesting dis
coyery has been made ia Egypt. It is known
that there exists no Mount Zabgrrah situated ON
an Island in the Red Sea. mine Of emeralds
which was formerly worked by the pachas of
Egypt but abandoned in the last years of the
reign Of Mehemt Ali An English company
have solicited and recently obtained authority to
resume the working of this mine, which is be-
lieved to be stll rich with precious stones Mr.
Allan the engineer of the company, while dircc-
ting some important excavations In this place has
discovered at great depth traces Of am ancient
gallery which evidently must be referred to the
most remote antiquity. Upon removing the rub
hish they hund tools and ancient utensils, and
stone upon which Is engraved a hieroglyphic in
scrption, now partially defaced. Tins circum-
stance proves the truth OF the opinion expressed
by Belzoni on the strength OF other indications,
that this mine was worked in ancient times.
The nature and form of the implements dis
covered and the conhgurahon Of the gallery the
plan Of which has been readily traced, prove
most conclusNey that the ancient Egyptians
were sklliul engineers. 1t seems from examine
ton of the stone which has been discovered that
the first labors IN the mine of Zabarrah were
commenced IN the reign of Sesostris, who accor-
ding the most generally received opinion, liv-
ed about the year 1900 before Christ, and who is
celebrated by his immense conquests, as well as

for the first time on the evening of the 4th

our columns for several days back prevented

The Union Forever. A
Come join us in song, let our voices arise,
And in praise of the Union, ascend to the
skies;
Byour forefathers' blood it was most dearly
won,
Led by our own, our BELOVED WASHING
TON.
Then hurrah for the Union, let our motto
e'er be,
The Union forever--Great Land of the Free
The storm of dissension may. try to assail,
But 'gainst the proud Union cannever pre-
- vail
For ,tis sacred to all, and cherished twill
be,
In the ''fome Of the brave and the land of
the free"
Accused be the traitor whose action or
,eainst the the peace of the Union, be seen or
be heard;
But success unto those who shall always
proclaim
The Unionforever--let it stillbe the same.
The North and the South can in peace
never, rest,
Should they sever their ties with the East
and the Wests
But while they in the Union together shall
cling,
Every valley and hill with the echo viii
ring
Oh, long live the Union! its blessings to
Where the Goddess of Liberty rears her
proud head;
And long may it last, and our children be
.blest,
When. those who now cherish it pass to
their rest.

awakened in our minds as we assemble here 10

ingten! MethinksI see his venerable formnow
before me, as presented in the glorious statue
by Houdon, now inthe Capitol of Virginia.
Tieis dignifed and grave, but concern and anx-
iety seem to soften the lineaments Cf his coun-
tenanee. The Government over which he pre-
sides is vet in the crisis of experiment Not
free from troubles at home, he sees the world
in commotion and arms all around him. He
sees that imposing foreign powers are half
disposed to try the strength of the recently
established American Government. We per-
ceiye that mighty thoughts, mingled with fears
as well 8s hopes, are struggling within him.
He heads short procession over those then
naked fields; he-crosses yonder stream on fal-
len tree; he ascends to the top of this eminence,
whose original oaks OF the forest stand as
thick around him as if the spot had been devo-
ted to druidical worship, and here he per-
forms the appointed duty Of the day.
And now, fellow-citizens, if this vision were
