To THE EDITORIAL FRArERNITY.-A .Suq-
gestion.-We suggest to the editorial or pub
fishing fraternity of this State, that they make
it point to meet at the State Convention at
Brattleboro, for the purpose of making some
arrangements for mutual protection from ire
sponsible advertisers and dishonorable subscri-
bers. The advance system must sooner or la
ter be adopted for all subscriptions and tran
sent Advertising We should also be pleased
to see some responsible city agent, or agents,
recommended as the only agent for city adver-
Users who do not pay in advance. The custom
Of publishing flaming advertisements of other
journals, at merely nominal price, should be
bandoned.-Freenan
1t will give us great pleasure to meet with
our editorial brethren from all parts of the
State, at the coming Convention. Personal
acquaintance does much to promote good feel
ing, especially among those similarity of
whose tastes and occupations renders such in
tercourse especially inviting. Come then, one
and all, and see our beautiful village and the
warm-hearted Republicans in this corner of
Vermont. The sanctum of THE PHOENIX will
be open for your accommodation.

LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Europa, from Liverpool June
4. arrived at Halifax, Tuesday. Her news is inn
portant as it gives an account of two sanguinary
encounters between the Allies and the Austrians
in both of which the former were victorious.
The Sandman government had issued the fol-
lowing bulletin, dated Turin, May 81:
A fresh victory was gained by our troops at
: O'Clock this morning, $4,000 Austrians en-
deavored to retake Pal.stro. The King COM
mandng the ith Division in person, and Cen
eral Cialdni at the head Of the Sd Regiment of
Zouayes, resisted the attack for considerable
time, and then, after having successfully, assum-
ed the offensive, pursued the enemy, taking
1000 prisoners and capturing eight cannon
FIVE of which were taken By the Zouaves Four
hundred Ausuians were drowned in canal
during the combat at Palestro."
Another fight took place at Con6enza, mine
miles s. S. w. of Novaro), in the province of
Lomellino, in which the enemy were repulsed
by the 10th Division after two hours conflict.
Last night the picket of the enemy endeayored
to pass the Pc at Cervesena, but were repulsed
by the inhabitants. The Austrians have eva
cuated Varso, in the Province of Robbie.
TURIN, JUNE 1.-The victory gained yester-
day has been followed by second victorious
combat, which took place at o'clock this eve
ming at Palestro, which the enemy endeavored
to re-enter ,butwas repulscd again by the Division
of General Cialdini, composed of Zouaves and
Piedmontese cavalry. The King pressed for
ward where the fight was most furious, the
Zouaves ysinly trying to restrain him.
On Tuesday the Austrians attacked the Sar-
dinan vanguard at Sesto Calende Ia village Of
Lombardy, IS miles northwest of Milan, on the
Ticino), and the fight lasted two hours. Our
troops crossed the Ticino in pursuit of the
enemy.
A numerous Austrian corps a. drniee appear
ed before Varese, but Garibaldi ordered the
National Guard not to resist and fell back on
Lago Maggiore.
An attack was attempted by our troops
against Laveno, on the Maggiore, but without
result.
Additional details of the battle of Palestro
state that the Sandman right wing was at one
time oyerflanked by the Austrians, who threat
ened the bridge of boats across the Sesia, over
which Canrohert was TO effect a junction with the
King. AT this juncture the Zouaves came 10
the rescue, and turned the tide against the Aus
TRANS The Zouayes lost one officer, twenty
men killed, and two hundred wounded, inclu-
ding ten officers. The Sardinians are believed
to have been terribly cut up, but their loss is
not mentioned. An Austrian General is repor-
ted killed. Napoleon subsequently visited the
battlefield, and congratulated the Sardinians
on the result.
The Turin dispatch of the I'd says, that the
Austrians on that morning advanced from Rob
bio toward the French outposts, but retired
after short fight. The movement was made
to conceal the retreat of the Austrans who had
begun to evacuate Robbie, carrying with them
about 200 wounded.
On the Sd was telegraphed from Turin that
the Austrians had Withdrawn to the eastern bank

Sixty horses have recently been purchased at

At St Adams 1880 lbs of butter were sent
to Boston in one day, for which was paid from

TIE lEdR " ELROPE

Elsewhere we publish dispatch from Hall
fax, giving in a measure the details Of the hat
ties since the engagement at Montebello. The
war news seems to be favorable to the allies,
although it will be noticed that Austrian adj
vices have not vet been received. The Aus
trians. $4,000 strong, attempted to retake Pales-
tro, an inconsiderabla village near Vercelli, on
the river Scsia, ON the 31st, but were repealed
with heavy losses. The Sardinians were COM
handed by Victor Emmanuel in person. The
allies took one thousand prisoners and eight
guns. The humber of killed and wounded on
either side is not mentioned, but it appears
that four hundred Austrians were drowned in a
canal during the combat. The Austrians made
another attempt to rctakc Palestro on the same
evening, but were repulsed by the Zouaves and
Piedmontese cavalry. Garibaldi appears to
have retired before a superior force OF Aus
trians, falling back to Lake Maggiore, and af-
forwards to have attacked and driven the Aus
TRANS out Of Narese, re-entering Como a forti-
% miles north Of Milan.
The allies have advanced their head quarters
successfully from Allessandria about thirty
miles north west from Genoa, to Casale and
Nerceli, and appear to be moving steadily to-
wards Milan. Gen. Nels division already &C.
cupies Novara, which is close to the boundary
of Lombardy and only thirty miles west of Mi
Ian. The Sandman vanguard has also driven
the Austrians across the Ticino, and defeated
them at Sesto Calande, which is at the southern
extremity of Lake Maggiore The allied forces
are therefore converging towards the capital of
Lombardy where the great Napoleon was
crowned with the iron crown of the Lombards,
in four directions, from Como on the north, Sesto
Calande on the north west, Novar and Vercel-
Ii on the west and Allessandria on the south
west. The Austrians extend in similar curve
from Milan to Piacenza. Within this enclosed
space and probably on the eastern side of the
Pc will be fought decided battle within few
days.
The French have landed troops at Leghorn
and will endeavor to unite Tuscany, Parma and
Modena, on the south of Lombnrdy, to unite
and join the Sandman alliance against the Aus
TRANS. In case they are successful it is likely an
attempt will be made against Piacenza for the
purpose of turning the left wing of the Aus
TRANS. The present attitude cannot long be
maintained, and a great battle at an early day
can only be avoided by the retreat of the Aus
trians.

THE GINSENG BusINEss.-We have mem
toned the discovery of the plant ginseng in
Minnesota, and the rich returns that it is max
ing to those engaged in digging and curing it.
Ginseng is worth, when gathered, 6 to 10 cents
per pound, and in Minnesota, when cured, %
to 80 cents. A Faribault (Minnesota) paper
says that upwards of six tons were brought in
to that town in one week. 1t is estimated that
five hundred tons will be gathered this year,
which will net the diggers about eighty thou
sand dollars
Ginseng was formerly collected in large guam
titles in Vermont, and the late Zebina Curtis of
Windsor made fortune by exporting it. He
had the secret of preparing it after the Chinese
fashion, so as to make it of deep auburn col
or, and somewhat translucent. He sometimes
shipped $4,000 worth from Boston for China
in single year. But others went into the bust
ness and glutted the market until the price did
not pay for collecting the root. In Ohio a
pretty large amount of the root is collected ev-
cry year for expectation. In 1852, there were
exported from the United States 15O,455 lbs,
valued at Sl02,073. The ginseng excitement
in Minnesota is not therefore ridiculous affair,
and is likely to pay quite as well in the average
as gold digging.

June WEATIER-MoRE FRosrs.-The frat half oil
June, 1869, will long be memorable in the amanacs
and the memories Of farmers, for the exceedingly low
temperature Of the weather and the severity Of the
frosts. During six or nights the thermometer
indicated a temperature below 40 deg, and three
nights it fell to nearly the freezing point. The rosts
the night of the 9th inst, operated with peculiar
severity upon all field crops and garden vegetables
exposed to its influence in this vicinity except in the
valley Of the Connecticut River where they were pro-
teccd by the fog, and the highest hills which it
had not quite strength enough to climb.
On Saturday night last 9th inst VIC were Wis ted
by another frost which operated, like the lrishmans
pork in streaks being more in some places and
in others less than its predecessor Tho corn and
potatoes, and particularly the beans have suffered eI-
tensively, whole fields having been cut down, but for
tunatey for the farmer the and potatoes had nd
vanced so little that they will sprout up again. Be-
tween Bnteboro and Springfield the corn and tobac-
co crops have been injured. At the West the second
frost was not so severe as the first
Nota Bene.--In our garden our early beans were
greatly injured by the first frost and finished by the
second.

and when James Buchanan takes snuff, the ar
gus, of course sneezes with yehemence that is
refreshing to witness.
The leading democrats in the State demurred,
in language quite as much noted for it's force as
for its elegance, TO the requirements Of the Dr.
gus that all other democrats should initiate his
example and worship the image he had set up.
They were willing enough that our frisky neigh
Dor should serve the President in his own way
and thus pay for the official patronage-the
bread and butter of his potics-he enjoyed !;
but they have sturdly declined to accept his
tests or to make his measure of obligation the
standard of their fealty.
The truth of the whole matter is this: the
argus is the servile tool of the President, ready
to assume the most contradictory opinions pro-
vided they emanate from the, to him, fountain
of political authority, and willing to go for the
denomination of Buchanan or the selection Of
his administrator in case the old bachelor Pres
ident should "turn up missing" Most of the
other democrats in the State sympathize strong
ly with Douglas, and go for squatter sovereign
ty and intervention as defined by the Gin
cinnati platform. This is the chief ground of
the internecine battle that has ragged so furious
ly during the past few weeks among the demo-
cratic papers in this State, and it was the occa-
sion of all the importance that is attached to
the action of the State Convention at Burling-
ton on Thursday.
The whole matter, with the exception of the
nomination of district delegates to the Charles
ton Convention, is now disposed of and the argus
clan has received sound drubbing. The
"stump tall democracy is laid out cold. So
thoroughly annihilated are they that we shall
be surprised if the Argus does not come out
and with his usual versatility, laud the ticket as
the best that could have been nominated. By
reference to the nominations it will he seen that
an entirely new ticket for State officers is put
in the field, the old set having had enough of
the glory of defeat The following are the
nominations made:
For Governor, JOHN G. SAKE, Burlington;
Lieut.. Governor, STEPHEN THOMAS, West
Fairee;
Treasurer, J. 7. THrRsToN, Montpelier.
Delegates at Large TO the Charleston Con-
vention: Messrs JouN S. ROBINSON, HENRY
KEYEs, Z. VI. Brown, and JASPER RAND.

ton before the readers of your paper, and makes
very trifing accident look almost like crime. The
truth Of the matter is just this Mr. Betterey shot the
hen at the request Of her owner with light charge
Of light shot not in orange norneary Of the child
between whom and both Mr. Botterley and the hen
was highway and two wooden fences One Of the
shot gancng probably from a stone, just grezod the
skin of the chld's hip. The town grand juror, in1u-
enced by false statement Of the affair, instituted
prosecution against Mr. Botcrcy for assault and
battery upon the child which like sensible man, as
he is, he withdrew learning the facts, and the ell
tire community in The vicinity exonerate Mr Better
ley from any wrong intent in the matter.
