case, and almost every clipper that leaves our
harbor for the East carries more or less of

to be the source of great wealth, and perhaps
of more Importance than the gold product
itself. Yesterday, Messrs. Kohler & Frohl.

which the others do not at all times possess,
and who turn out literary labor much as men

this the case in England, where literature is

where it is followed, in greater degree, as a
regular profession, than it is here Whenev

diminished. He is also in the full vigor of
health. and better qualified, perhaps to sus-
tain the characters in which he has so long
been successful, than at any other period OF
his career Why, therefore, he should retire,
we are at loss to understand 1t is true.

his professional labors, but he should remem.

that he is himself alone as tragedian in his
peculiar line, and that he is not altogether

that at one time, he contemplated the delive

HoosAC TUNNEL.-The contractors for build
ing the Troy g. Greenfield railroad and exca-
waiting the Hoosac Tunnel H. Haupt & Co.,
having complied with the terms precribed by
the Legislature OF Massachusetts, have received
through the company the first instalment of the
tunnel loan. The Governor has delivered over
to the Troy and Greenfield railroad company
bonds to the amount of 100000, of which
amount 100000 can be used by the company,
the remainder being placed to the credit of the
sinking fund.
The seven miles of the road required by the
loan act are completed, with surplus of 1873
feet. On the east side 7SS feet of rock has been
taken out entire, and on the west side 240 feet,
making 1923 feet of tunnelling, surplus of 2S
feet over the amount required to secure the first
instalment of the loan. In addition to this, 1888
feet of heading has been taken out on the east
side, and 70 on the west
1t now seems quite probable that the tunnel
will be carried forward to completion. 1t is a
gigantic undertaking, and the difficulties that
have already been overcome would have dis
couraged less energetic men. Its success will
do much towards developing the resources OF
the northern portion of Massachusetts,, as we'll
as in benefitting the entire State by opening a
nearer and better communication between Bos-
ton and the Western Lakes.

The Election.

Vermont has again reiterated, in language
not to be misunderstood or Inexperienced,
her devotion to Freedom, and to those cardinal
principles upon which this government is based
and upon which it was administered by the Fa-
Their of his country and his immediate success
ors. Once more have her freemen met at the
polls and asserted their belief in the nationality
of Freedom, and their determination to circum-
scribe the limits of Slavery, and to keep its OPP
erations within the area of its present local ex-
istcnce Their confidence in modern democra-
CIV and its present Representatives, may be infer
red from the returns which are published else
where.
1t appears that Hon. Inland HALL has been
elected governor by an increased Republican
majority, although the vote is, as usual, much
smaller in this State according to the popula-
ton, than in any other with which we are ac-
quainted. 1t may be safe to estimate that nine-
tenths of all who RETAINED from appearing at
the polls are Republicans all of whom felt so
certain that the votes would be all right, that
they did not think it necessary to contribute
their influence to make certainty more sure.
The other members of the State ticket are cleo
ted by similar majorities.
From present indications we think the Sen
ate will be unanimously Republican. The
House will probably contain thirty or forty
democrats We notice some of the strongest
Republican towns have through local divisions
elected democratic representatives. Such is thu
case with Rutland, st. Adams, and Nottingham
in this county. AS there is no possible danger
that any influence they will exert in nationa
politics C, !. be detrimental to the Republican ma
iority of this State, their election is a matter o
comparatively little consequence to the domi
nant party. 1t will be better for the Legislature
of this State to have at least a small minorit,
to look after powerful majority.
The present members of Congress are all tri
umphantly reelected The voice of Vernon
cannot be otherwise than unit in the halls O
Our national legislation. 1t has been, is, an,
will long continue to be unanimous against tn
pro-slavery democracy that now rules the coun
try
