GENERAL PILLOW is again in tho field
General IIitchcock's letter seems to have
stirred his Ire from the lowest depths. His
second letter, occlsioncd by that Of General
Hitchcock, does not add much to our stock
of knowledge on the secret history Of the
Mexican war, though it does to our know.-
edge of Gen Pillow it being made up Of itera-
tons of what he stated before, and of the
coarsest kind Of abuse Liar, coward, and
such like epithets, intensified by such helps
as the English language affords, are hcapcd
upon General llitchcock-or "lli'chcock,
as for the most part he is called by his
assailant-in the greatest proiuson.
General Pillow seems completely maddened
by passion. Had he waited till General
Scott, Mr.. Trist and such others as were
affected by his statement mad said their say.
he might have been in a cooler mood, and
perhaps have written in a manner worthy Of
more respectful attention than his present
cascade of dirty abuse will receive.
MACHINE MADE DOORS AND BLINDS One Of
the most thriving and busy port ons Of
that stirring part Of Burlington, the Pio-
neer Machine Shop, is the door, sash, and
blind factory Of Mr. f. W. Chase. Mr. c.,
as our readers may remember, was SUIT
ferer to a large amount by the burning Of
the Machine Shop at Winoosk Falls last
Winter. The ashes OF his former establish
ment were little more than cold, before he
was on his way to purchase machinery for
new hctory.-ln due uo,eau he opened
again at the Pioneer Shop, where he has
finely appointed shop. Iii. planners, lathes.
morticing and other machines are all new
and combining the latest improvements ;
and his work, of which ne has turned out
cheap the past summer, finds univcr-
sal favor. The impression which many
have, that machine made doors ard blinds
are inferior to those ordinarily made by
hand, will soon disappear Oh inspection Of his
work. We have noticed a style Of door
cut upon the same pieces which formed the
frame of the door, which for neatness of
style and excellence Of workmanship are sell
dom surpassed by hand or otherwise. lie
manufactures also new style Of sash,
which is a decided improvement The ad-
vantages which such an establishment de-
| rves from its vicinity to such lumber
market as that Of Burlington, are obvious.
We are CAD to note the prosperity %. this
particular one. We trust that the demand
for new houses in Burlington, alone, will
keep at least one such fully busy, AMI That
the increase Of the business may multiply
similar factories al h5itnm.
The Springfield horse show Of last week
is reported to have been very successful -
About 300 fine horses were on exhibition.
and the assembly of visitors was very large

And now, word in regard to the future.
1t Is apparent that the Horse Show is an in.

the,country, and has been successful no.
where, but here. There is a very good reason
for this. Elsewhere they have been largely
originated and managed by sporting men,
who took interest in nothing but racers
Their exhibitions have failed as a matter Of
course. The public had no confidence in
them Here they have been undertaken
by our best and most reliable citizens-men
who have Il stake in the sobriety and the
best progress OF the community, and men
who have no interest in racing stock or
sporting men. In such men stock breedees
have confidence, ond the universal voice
now is in favor Of having these exhibitions
continued at stated periods, for all the tu
ture.
