in little over twenty days.
An attempt at revolution in San Salvador

prisoners.
The loss by the earthquake at Quito is
stated at 81, 900, 900, and the loss Of life is by
some authorities stated as high as five thou

age was occasioned in Guayaquil.
Gen. Walker had arrived in California. and.

TIIE SrGAR CROp

In this part Of Vermont has been greater
this year than ever before known. On the
fourth page will be found a statement Of two
cases, one making six pounds, and another
nearly ten pounds, Of sugar to each tree. We
have been told that farmer in Walden has
made G000 pounds from GOO trces-being ex-
actly ten pounds per- beel Never have we
heard of such a yield before, and we should
doubt the story did we not know that Mr..
Pitl>in Of Marshfeld has nearly if not quite
cqualled it. A correspondent of the ".
Chronicle estimates the crop in Cambridge at
1928 lbs. to each replace $4,000 lbs.
for the town of Cambridge, and 900, 900 lbs.
for the County Of Lamoille.

~ An old friend of ours, who is we'll ac-
quainted with the gentleman of whom he
writes, sends us this;
"Dr. NJ. NJ. Marsh, whose advertisement
amongst us with recommendations that make
it certain he will prove a valuable acquisition
to our community. both as physician and as
a citizen. The fact that he was appointed by
the State Medical Society of New York one
of its three delegates TO the National Medical
Society. which holds its annual meeting next
month in Louisville, attests his professional
standing where he has been best known Dr.
Marsh, having cast his lot amongst us, will,
we doubt not, soon enlist the confidence he
deserves"
There is no loss, save perhaps that of a
member Of family, which seems so complete
ly irreparable, as that of the family physician /;
and now, when two of our oldest and most re-
putabe have been taken away by death, and
another by removal, it is fortunate, not to say
Providential, that this community has been
supplied with professional men of high char
acter to take the places of those removed
The three Allopathists removed have been
supplied with an equal number, while there
has also been, within few years, an addition
to the Homeopathic class. The profession
has kept pace with the increase of population

LETTER FROM non. EDWARD BATES.

LETTER FROM HON. EDWARD BATES
The letter from this distinguished gentle
man to the Wing General committee having
been lost on the way. he has sent a copy,
which is published in the New York papers.
1t is a very candid and able document Mr..
Bates declares at the outset that the negro
question is "pestilcnt question: whose ag-
itation has done no good, although it is "a
sensitive question. into whose dangerous vor-
tex it is quito possible for good men to be
drawn unawares." Mr. Bates then proceeds
TO give his views substantially in support of
the old Wing doctrines of the power and du-
~ of the general government to protect our
commerce, inland and foreign and to carry
forward a wise system of internal improve
ments He is decidedly opposed to the mod
crn notions of an indefinite expansion OF ter
ritory. and regards the acquisition of Cuba at
the present time undesirable and ncxpedient.
He is in favor of reasonable protection to our
industry His review of the present Nation
al Administration is reireshngly severe and
just. He says
THE present position of the Administra-
ton is a sorrowful commentary upon tho
broad Democracy of its professions. In
tutNlNs tue NtuNlt nave Tue IlNhb hhh thN
ability to do anything in practice, we are
vcrging rapidly to the One Man power. The
President. the ostcnsiblc head of the National
Democrats, is eagerly striving to concentrate
power in his own hands. and thus to set aside
both the People and their Representatives in
the actual affairs Of government. Having
emptied the Treasury which he found full,
and living prccoriously upon borrowed money,
he now demands of Congress to intrust to
his unchecked direction the War power, the
Purse and the sword
He then briefly takes up the extraordinary
demands contained in the Presidents last
annual message, and treats of them in con-
nection with the disgracoiul fact that, lin
profound peace with foreign nations, and sur
rounded with tho proofs of national growth
and individual prosperity, the Treasury, by
less than two years Of mismanagoment is
made bankrupt, and the Government itself is
living from hand to mouth, on bills of credit
and borrowed money
Mr.. Bates says, in conclusion, that he
speaks for no party, because the only party
he ever belonged to "has ceased to exist as
an organized and militant body, and he fears
that some of his opinions are so Anticipated
and out of fashion as to make it very inn
probable that they will ever again be put to
the test of actual practice. Boston Journal

Among divers abuses for which the press
is responsible, there is one which deserves
grave censure, as the authors Of it appear to
be devoid of conscience, or to have reflected
little upon It's tendency. There is q class Of
small writer's and news-mongers for the pa
pers who take delight in inventing marvellous
DcFoe-like and Poe-like fctions which verge
on the incredible. They might be as harm
less as other novelties, if they protested to
be such, bur they are recorded as facts in the
current history of the time The story of a
man walking through the Niagara Rapids on
stills, which lately went the rounds, and the
narrative of young woman who passed three
years alone, having been shipwrecked. on a
desolatc island of Lake Superior, are cases in
point. So many lies of this kind are circulat-
ed by those who are bound to be the chronic
clcrs of the truth, that when we read Of re-
markable appearances in the heavens obsorv-
cd in certain places. Of showers Of flesh and
blood, or of sea serpents sworn to by many
observers. VIC do not know whether to believe
or not We are inclined to discrcdit much
which may be true and have become SO scep-
teal that when the newspapers favor us with
any thing out of the beaten track, or even
strange, we put it aside as not worth the
trouble of investigation. Any attempt at the
classification of facts from such sources will
hardly be attempted when the first Of A kind
has been fabricated, and the others are a mere
repetition Of the same at intervals, in a some
what different form If this outrage be not
checked, the most valuable phenomena, though
honestly put on record, will avail nothing for
practical ends, for lack of credit

THE SUPREME COURT oN THE SLAVE
TnADE.-We suspect that the Washington
correspondent Of the n. y Courier d En-
quirer was little too fast in foreshadowing
notification of the laws against the slave
trade by the Supreme Court In the Echo
case, g. Co. Judge Wayne, in his charge
to the Jury, demonstrated the constitutional
ty of the act of 1920; while Of the charge
to the grand jury in Mobile Alabama by
Judge Campbell, tits said that it was thorough
and emphatic against the slave trade and fill
busterism. Two of the Federal Judges OF
the South thus appear to be right. The juries
however, convict nobody for slave trading and
fllibustering

BREAKERS AHEAp.-The country is going
with another rush to ruin, unless something
shall occur to check its progress. From Jan
uary LIST to April 9th-abont IA weeks-the
importadons into New York alone amounted
to 65 million dollars while the exports were
but | ) millions An excess of imports over
exports to the amount of 80 millions in about
three months, at one port alone, should be an
admontion to all shat there are "breakcrs
ahead 81 and induce them to caution in as
Stunning obligations that are to be met at a
future day. The country cannot be in con-
dition To bear any great strain of its credit
until the grain-growing States recover from
the paralysis occasioned by the failure Of the
last years crops This great excess of i'm
ports over exports must be paid for in due
time and if we cannot send out the products
of labor, our only alternative must be to send
the specie, or send nothing. The influence
of the expectation Of large amounts of gold
and silver, upon the banks and the currency,
must be pretty well understood at this time,
| by all persons who keep themselves posted
up with the progress Of events. All should
keep themselves well advised in such an emer-
gency as this, and hold their affairs within
their own control.
