A COMPLIMENT FOR yERGoSr.

A COMPLIMENT FOR VERMONT.
4 member Of the House addressed me thus:
" Can 1 buy n huudred-acre farm in Vermont,
divided about equally between wood, pasture and
meadow land? l wish 70 enigrate 20 Vermont.
because she is the only STATE le5ch ths ppe have
ds,9usir1fsd that they have ne Porr Of sey0vsrn-
r7e-t." OF course, the allusi0n was 90 the fact,
that from l777 to l79l, Vermont 'xisted and
fourishei az a free, sovereign, and Independent
State acknowledging allegiance 20 no other power.
Vernon. to-day, am sure, is quite a. able 20 be
free and independent as any other state, She
owes less to the Union, or derives less from Il,
than any other State. She owes less 20 the Union,
or derives less from 1t, than any ether State,
while in proportion 10 her population, she makes
the largest and mos, valuable contributions 10 the
tie Union. Consuming as much, because living rs
well as any ether state, she contributes her full
that she contributes more literally than any otae-
State in the intelligent energetic and virtJous

There seems TO be no bott-m TO the mingled
folly and madness which the rabid southern
politicians are sunk in. We thought the
sending Of circulars to tie Lincoln Electors
in some Of the Free States, urging them to
give their votes fer somebody else than Lin
coin was about Is profound sample Of
| political faulty as We ever heard Of. The
Washington Constituents proposition ito
have Lincoln ald Hamlia dlciRe, after the
election was decided in their favor, was an
other sample Of the same sort. We then
thought the force Of folly could 10 further
90; but here comes the Richmond Enquirer
with the following. After saying that it is
the duty Of every Patriot to embarrass the
new administration at every point" and that
'the Inauguration should be prerentcd By
Maryland, and If necessary Virginia siculd
aid her, - it adds
If the Northern people really desire the
preservation of the Union, let them move in
this matter Of negotiation: let them say 10
Mr.. Lineola, remain aoay from Washington
city; you shall not precipitate civil war, By
presenting yourself to an outraged people ,
remain at home until the States have re-
stored peace by calm negotiation. And if
Mr.. Lincoln should then attempt to be in
augurated, let the consequences b on his
head and these Of his friends who may come
70 witness the scene.
We think We see Mr.. Lincoln remaining
away fromN ashinston.It strikes us that he is
not the man to enact in reality the old Joe
Millerism Of the fellow VINO couldn't tell the
day of his own birth, because lie was not
present on The occasion" When the Republi-
can administration is inaugurated, on the
4th Of March next, Mr.. Lincoln if he is alive
will be thar"

Representatives obtained in this way, is
however always less than 233, and that
number is then made up by assigning to the
States having the largest fractions remain
ing after the division by the ratio, ono adj

The fraction in Vermont this time is less
than $4,000, which we had supposed would

THE DISASTER on THE LAKE.-We have
received from Mr.. S. W Clark, some addi-
tioaal particulars of the sad calamity of Dec.
IS. Mr.. Clark was on board the Daniel
Webster, saw the Sarah Ellen go down, was
the one who seized and saved Laplante, and
was active in the unsuccessful efforts TO save
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayward.
The exact cause OF the laundering Of the
Sarah Ellen is not known. Laplante only
knows that she began to settle down By the
head and sank in ten minutes after. She
was an old vessel, was heavily loaded with
stone, and wind and sea were high. The
starting of plank from her sides, or the
shipping of seas through the fore hatch, is
explanation enough, and one or the other
was doubtless the cause.
II any wonder that all could not have
been saved by the Daniel Webster, they must
remember that the day was cold, the wind
high, the spray dashing over the schooner
and covering her with ice, the ropes all
stifened and unmanageable-and, strange to
say, the yawl left filled nth bid ace 10 ,cithn
inches of the gunwale. That two vessels
loaded with stone, should attempt to cross
| the lake in a gale or to sail al all with moth
ing more serviceable in the way of small
boats, seems incredible. 1t was strange
fatality that an excellent yawl, which Mr..
Clark has always been wont to take with
him, was left behind for this one trip.
Mrs. Hayward was brought up in Burling-
ton, was for while 4 member of the family
of our townsman Mr.. 5. NJ. Pope, and was
known to many Of our citizens by her maiden
name Of Lucy Whitney.
The attempt to recover the bodies of Mr..
and Mrs. II will be made but with small
prospect Of success, as the water is deep,
and the spot where they sank cannot be
very nearly determined

Dispatch to Commercial Advertiser.
WASHINGTON. Dec. q.


The Commissioners from South Carolina
are expected at the federal capital on Monday
next.
The news of South Cardinals secession
creates but little excitement here.
The Mississippi Congressional delegation
say that that state will secede on the 9TH Of
January.
The impression is very generally entertained
here that Florida will also secede at on early
day.
The advocates Of Southern Confederacy
and demonstrating the government are COM
pletely taken aback by movement for form
ing that portion of Northern Virginia West
Of Blue Ridge into a separate State
Mr.. Crittenden s proposition for compro-
mise is gaining ground generally.
There has been no voting yet in the House
committee of thirty-three, but all their dis
cassions have been amicable.
MOBILE, Dec. 2O.-The secession Of South
Carolina was celebrated here this afternoon
by the firing of hundred guns, the cheers
of the people and a military parade. There
is great rejoicing. The bells are now ring
ing merrily, and the people are out in tho
streets by hundreds, testifying their Joy at
the triumph Of secession. Many impromptu
speeches are being made, and the greatest
excitement everYWhere exlsta.

Gen Scott has, US late as Saturday,

he indicated, to prevent the impending dis
grace Of the surrender Of Fort Moultrie to

listen to it. lie Will not even permit the
fort to be ra-taken if captured BY mob.
Cor. Of the F. Y. Tribune
If the South Carolina postmaster5 resign.
as they threaten, after secession, the mails
will be promptly stopped. Mr.. Holt has no
inclination to collide with the conspiracy,
and those engaged in it must take the con-
sequences. In twenty days after the seces-
sion ordinance, if the seceders carry out
their present programme, no mails will be
delivered in South Carolina, and no foreign
or domestic vessel viii enter the port OF
Charleston.
