.... The more than usual attention
paid to streets and sidewalks for a few
weeks past is to us very gratifying. A
friend from distance, who was in our
sanctum last winter, said that he noticed
in the walk opposite, the same hole that
was there when he was in College, twenty
five years ago. We shall mail marked
copy Of this paper to him, by which he
will learn that said hole is stopped. We
have great confidence that the work of
street improvements is hereafter to be
progressive work, and few years Of
steady progress will bring us on to "equal
terms with the most favored nations" in
this important matter.
.... Mr.. Dana's Lecture on the Sand
witch Islands given in the Lecture Room,
last Wednesday evening, was very great
treat to the people oil Middlebury. His
powers of description are of the highest
order, and his style of writing and speak
ing is truly captivating. To listen to his
observations on those islands and their ill.,
habitants is very like vivid and very
delicious dream. When after an hour he
came to an abrupt close, evidently before
the lecture was completed, we felt like one
awakened too soon.
1t is seldom that witness who has
seen so much Of the worlds variety with
which to compare it,-tor Mr.. Dana has
looked on many lands, appears, as if at
our own home circle, to report upon so
fair portion of it. We were indebted
to the lecturer for reproducing from the
stores of treasured observations, so fine
a sample in so generous cause.
1t will be seen that Sears & Co., great
Eastern Menagerie is to make us visit
on the 9th prox. This Exhibition has the
reputation of being the best of the kind
in the country, and it is observed that the
proprietors have recently added Baby
Lion. To know the value of this addition
it will be necessary to 60 and see it.
.... 1t will be seen from a card in
another place that the places Of business
in this village are to be closed on the
Fourth. This is as it should be. We
hope no one will choose to make an ex-
ception of himself.

past there have been trials Of Mowers in
several of the Lake Towns which were
largely attended.

Foreign.

The news of the great battle Of Magen-
ia, briefly alluded to in our last is fully
confirmed. The Austrians were wholly
routed, and the Allies are in full possess
sion of Milan. Several spirited actions
have since occurred with generally similar
results. l, is now thought that the Aus
trians will make a stand upon the east
bank of tbs AIDA. The campaign thus
far seems to have peen planned by the
Allies with great foresight and conducted
W tn consumate generalship, while on the
other hand the conduct of the Austrians
is severely criticised. There are rumors
that the great neutral powers will soon
move vigorously to stay the hostile pro-
ceedings; but every thing of that kind is
as yet mere conjecture.

General Convention at Vergennes.
The meetings were well attended and
exceedingly interesting. We will not re-
port them in detail, as this may more
properly belong to other papers. But OF
some things we would speak particularly:
The opening sermon was preached from
2 Cor. 10. 4, by Rev. MIR. Ferrin of Hines
burg. His account Of the in6delity ,Ro-
manism and ndifferentism" with which the
gospel must contend in Vermont was sad
indeed, and would have been deeply dis
heartening except to those who may be
mighty through God" 1t was refresh
Ing to hear afterward from Rev. Mr.. Par.
ker, the Corresponding Secretary Whose
report, by the way, was, unusually COM
plete in its statistics) that the Churches of
eUery County mark decided advance in
numbers during the past year, and that
some of them were revived no less re-
markably than in the year previous. The
report Of the Vermont Domestic Miss'ary
Society was also very encouraging. Nor
could any of them be more comforting or
inspiring to those feeble churches which
have suffered the loss of their best men,
bers by emigration, than the eloquent re-
marks Of Dr. Coe, OF the American Home
Missionary Society. We trust that Home
Missionaries will be helped ard cherished
with special care and liberality during the
coming year.
The anniversary of the Education So
ciety must have stirred deep aud tender
interest, How can any of the Pastors or
churches ever overlook the claims of this
noble cause ?
The Sabbath School Anniversary was
crowded. The children we're only too
eager for the lengthy Annual report of
the Secretary to be ended that they might
listen to the remarks which followed. Who
would not be the chldren's minister p
The reports of the Trustees of the Fair
banks Fund for the relief of Ministers, ex-
cited an animated discussion las well it
night in which Rev. Mr. Steele Of Mid

case of the Alton Presbytery, which were
severally adopted Our ministers seem
to be alive to all the "agitated questions"
and ready for action.
We were pleased to hear so many Dele
gates from foreign bodies. Surely it
is not for want of sympathy, co.opera-
tion on the part of the Green Mountain
State, that any are running into an ex-
IRENE denominationalism. Is it not glory
enough for our Congregationallsm that it
raises no barrier between us and other
| Christian denominations ? With the sing.
ing of the choir in the various meetings
we were delighted. One word for the
people of Vergennes. We like them-
we do believe that there are none more
hearty and painstaking in hospitality even
in Burlington or Mddlebury. They seem
to know how to do things up right on
public occasions, For once at least, we
feel strongly, when we say that they de-
serve our sincerest thanks, they and their
excellent Pastor. I

Mr.. Buchanan libels the South American Republics
BY repre.t ntrg their condition as one Of chrenic
revolution and anarchy. The truth is bad enough,
but not so bad as this representation. He there
upon asks Cobgress in effect TO surrender the
wsr.makinc power to the Executive, at les,t so
far as this continent is concerned and to authorize
him to employ the Military and Naval power OF the
country TO reopen aud protect the Pansm,, Mica

those routes obstructed or seriously mensced.
And. not satitfed with this, be demands general
powers TO employ Military force against Mexico,
whenever any of Der factions shall assail what he
may deem the rights Of our citizens resident in that
country. And he tells us that, unless these extra
ordinary powers are granted, the great European
monsrchies will have the advantage Of US in uphold
ing the rights ard redIes.ing the wrongs Of their
respective subjects.
OF course, there is a certain truth in these rep.
resentations. Despotism is fsr simpler and more
flexible form Of Government than Democracy, and
affords obvious facilities for the prompt redress OF
grievances, the instant warding of Of dangers.
Neither julius Caesar nor Augustus would have
hesitated or disputed in Rome, while Hannibal was

olutiopary contest would have had his troops bet

In the SENATE, yesterday, bill was reported
to pay Mr.. Squier, late Charge at Gustemal.,
$4,000 for extra services. Mr.. Hunter endeav-
ored to bring up the Diplomatic Appropriation BILL
but the Senate preferred the Private Calendar,
which was proceeded with for an hour. A mes
sage about Cuba and Annexation was received from
the President. 1t is printed in another column.
Upon motion to refer this message spraas up q
debate upon the Cuban question and the aggressive
policy Of the President generally.
The House went into Committee on the Army
BILL the question being to strike cut the spprOpria
ton for recruiting. After some debate, the amend
ment was rejected, as was also an amendment to
preserve the military reservations from trespass.
Mr.. Faulkner's amendment cuttrg of brevet pay
was rejected, AZ to 30. The Committee rose, and
in the House there was resolution adopted to aP-
point Committee 10 investigate certain charges Of
corruption, and then the Houie adjourned.

uOuEsTEAD EXEMPTION.

The Senator's from the Free States who voted
lin effect) to kill the Homestead bill, BY laying it
aside to take up an Appropriation bill, were
Messrs. Allen Of r. 1. Fitch of Ind.
Bigler of Pa. win of Cal.
Lane of Oregon.
OF these, Messrs. Allen (already superseded BY
a Republican,, Fitch (Squatter) and Bigler are
known to have been decidedly repudiated In the
late elections in their several States. Messrs.
Gwin and Lane represent States where the Public
Lands are freely appropriated to private use with
out paying therefor to the Treasury. In Oregon,
the early settlers received $40 and 800 acres each
merely for being settlers, without paying farthing
therefor. 1t seems hard, indeed, that the repre-
sertatiyes Of two States 50 favored should be
voting against the settlers Of all other new States.
But we must take things as we find them.
