IMPORTANT ARMY ORDERs.-Wash-
Sept. 3. The War Department has is
sued an order to the following effect:
It being deemed inadvisable to detach
Brevet Brigadier General Harvey from
service in Kansas, Col. A. S. Johnston,
of the Second Cavalry, is assigned to
the command of the Utah expedition,
and will proceed to join the same with
out delay.
As Col. Summer, of the First Caval-
ry, may be daily expected, with his
column of horse and foot, Gen. Harvey
will, in anticipation, dispatch six COM
panies Of the I'd Dragons to escort the
civil officers to Utah on their mission
and remain attached to the command o.
Col. Johnston. The companies so de.
tached will, if possible, be carried to al
least 60 priyates each transfers from the
remaining companies. The Staff De
partment will supply all the wants o
those Dragons, as well as the wants o
other portions of the Utah expedition
that may be remaining behind. Breve
Major Porter, Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral, viii promptly report himself fo1
duty to Col. Johnston before the latte
shall pass fort Leavenworth.
The Free State men of Kansas have
resolved to make one more trial at the
ballot box in October.

60 A child was born in Sing Sing n.
Z. a few days since but died almost i'm
mediately, which had two heads, each
united to the body with its own neck. In
all other respects, its exterior appearance
was perfectly natural. An internal ex-
animation was made which exhibited
most singular arrangement of the organs
contained in the chest and abdomen. Two
perfect and entire spinal columns were
found each had the usual number Of
ribs, viz: tventy-four, making forty-eight
in all. The middle or internal sets of
ribs were united together, so that the en-
tire chests constituted but a single cavity,
containing four lungs, the middle pairs
being united. Two wind pipes led to the
lungs, Oneheart circulated all the blood
to this strange body. Two food pipes
led to single stomach, and except that
it had but one kidney, the right, the alb
dominai viscera were single and natural.

A SENSITIVE VITAL ORGAN.-A
missionary at the Sandwich ISLANDS
writes My observation is ever forcing
upon my mind, with new strength, The
conviction, unwelcome as it is, that the
pocket, even of the multitude of Christ:
disciples, is most sensitive vital organ,
guarded with a jealous vigilance, and de-
Tended with an earnestness of action
that cannot be surpassed, against all ez,
ternal attacks. And when from time
time the blessed Spirit moves, silent!
but powerfully, upon some selfish, ns.
gardly heart of our number, and uDez-
pectedly to me sends him with bis DOL
lar or two as an offering to the mission
airy cause, l feel like going upon my
knees and thanking God, that, at last
there is tangible ground of hope for
that mans salvation. As general rule
| cannot but feel that when the cries Of
perishing men reach the pockets Of any
one Of our people, they have unmistaka'
| bly, touched his heart, just in the right
spot, and furnished him and Others with
cheering evidence that the love Of Christ
is in him. Now, as he has opportunity
and ability, he feeds his Masters sheep
gathered and to be gathered"

TheElection.

The Election.
This State has once more stood out
nobly in the clear sky "the star that
never sets" Although the vote Is small,
yet the Republican majority is large |
enough we should think to satisfy the
slave drivers" that it is useless to try to
make Vermont an ally Of the South IN
their schemes of slave extension. The
Green Mountain Boys now and ever will
bear testimony against all kinds OF des-
potism. Even the liquor bait has failed
to help Democracy, We give elsewhere
n list of Representatives so far as heard
from.
We spoke of the result in this county
last week. Considerable dissatisfaction
existed in certain quarters arising from
the nominations Of the Republican Mass
Convention. 1t was felt that an undue
preponderance was givento those hereto
fore known as Americans, and in conse-
quence some effort was made to fraternize
with the Democrats. Indeed an arrange
ment was entered into, and ticket sent
out, composed in part Of Republicans anc
in part Of Democrats, and that ticket wa.
supported by many Republicans, as toI
example in Coventry, where it received
majority Of votes. We acknowledge t.
sharing in the feeling, and to acting will

Pnsnlts of the Missouri Election.

The St. Louis Democrat -devotes al
oo1.,y,n TO the consideration of the rsszalss .l
Of the late remarkable election in Mis-
souri,. In regard to the fraudulent re-
turns, it says
"If we had any doubts before OF the
GROSS and glaring frauds which have been
nracticed in regard to the making up OF
the returns, ever since eighty counties
were heard from, we have none now
The cheat is patent on the face OF them
and we have entire confidence that 1t
will be made so clear before the meeting
Of the General Assembly by a scrutiny
thorough and yigilant, of the poll books
in each county, as to invalidate the as
sumption that Stewart has been elected
Correctly and truthfully he has been de-
feated by near seven hundred votes OF
ficially he is returned with 334 majority
We shall, however, take another occa.
sion to show the specific instances of fou
play from De Kalb county down to Rip
ley and Reynolds counties it will re
main for the public to right such higl
handed wrong, and afix the stigma where
it justly belonges."
But the editor justly adds g The cleo
ton is our victory. No matter who ma.
eventually get the salary, the mora
triumph belongs to Maj. Rollins. II
has made a name in history, and ha
wrought a revolution in politics that wi
60 down to posterity' as bright example
of a lofty Patriotism, heroic canvas
and a generous responsive support fror
large masses of the people impelled b
no party discipline" Moreover, tn
Democrat contends that it is a permaner
victory, for it will bring in reinforce
ment sufficient to carry forward to con
pletion the movement now begun. {
the uncast vote of the State-seventee
thousand-it claims nine-tenths an
says it was withheld at the last electio
only through timidity and the infuenc
of prejudices, which must now giH
way.
But the Democrat is not obliged
look wholly to the future. 1t says:
Facts have also been achieved-fac
that speak more powerfully than me
words to the reason of all discernil
men. If we take the table Of returns
it stands in another column, with all Il
sinister dealings Of the nullifers credit
to them, it will be seen that we have CO
ried both branches of the General A
sembly, majority of the Judicial C
cults, three congressional districts

ed three others, leaving only one tt

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING On
Saturday evening, September 9th, the
Missisquoi Valley Academy was struck
by lightning, doing considerable damage
to the building. The fluid passed down
the chimney in two currents, one on the
outside the other on the inside. The out
side current made strange havoc on the
outside of the building, SCATTERING the
jet and clapboards on the gable end to
spHnters. The current that passed on
the inside passed down to the stove-pipe
hole in the second story, run along the
stove-pipe and passed off the legs of the
stove down through the second floor, from
thence down apost which supported the
pipe III the lower room till it reached the
pipe, then following the pipe, passed off
the stove as in the upper room through
the floor into the ground. The zinc under
both stoves was melted in part. 1t fol-
lowed on the under side of beam which
supported the second floor from the CHM
ney the entire length Of the building
tearing off the lathing and strewing the
plastering in every direction. The school
is in successful operation, and will still
continue.

years, to Messrs. Pierce and Penn of

There has been a general panic among

said to be in consequence OF
ipeculations in bread stufs, sugar and

Vermont Items.

On Friday last a fire occurred at Brat
tleboro, said to have been the most des-
tructive that ever occurred in Vermont.
Il broke out in the cabinet mandatory
Of Gates, Bliss & Co., and ragged for -four
hours. The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry beyond the presumption that it was
the work fan incendiary. The total loss
is variously estimated at from 100000
to 100000, but as yet the exact or even
approximate amount cannot be ascertain
ed. The Phgair says that more thar
half ofthe mechanical business Of Brat
tIeboro has been swept away and about
100 men thrown out of employ. The
property was largely insured.
