The house of the celebrated, bold hearted
and outspoken Parson Brownlow, is the only

GEN. MCDowELL.-The Washington cor
respondent of the New York World describes
this officer as follows:
" General Irwin Mcdowell, [. S A, Just
promoted to a brigadiership from a colonelcy =,
receives the command Of all forces in this dis
trict, and thus becomes at once the leader of
cur center. He is noble officer stalwart

act disciphnarian the expert master of all
military tactics, and, in every way, l believe
a match for the rebel General Lee of Virgin

much unnecessary lamentation was made"

RUMoRs.-Rumor has 1t that there ls to
be a Peoples Party formed in this State, and
that Frederick Holbrook Of Bratteboro. and
Stephen Thomas of Orange County, are to
be the candidates for Governor and Lieut..
Governor. Now we are not so selfish as to
desire both nominees to be selected from this
side of the State, though to the men we might
not have an objection. we would therefore
suggest that the Lieut.. Governor be taken
from the East, as he now is, and that Hon
Wyllys Lyman of Burlington be the man.
Beiio'rs Fails ArguS
Stephen Thomas is OF the Douglas wing OF
the democracy, and Wyllys Lyman Of the
Breckenridge wing, so it would seem that il
the Republicans shall attempt to depart from
the usual course of nominating their own
men, they will at once adopt the quarrels OF
the democracy. Better let them alone
Whoever comes to the Republican camp
whether of one stripe or another, let them
stack their arms and come as triends.-JT

The MILITARY GENIUS or PRESIDENT
DAy1s.-The Louisville journal thinks that
Jefferson Davis, as a military leader has
proved failure. The editor says:
Unquestionably jeff. Davis, as the head
of the military operations in the South, has
signally failed to fulfill Southern expectation.
The enthusiastic confidence that was felt in
him is fast dying out. All the glowing pre-
dictions as to what he would do have in
rapid succession been talsified. His late de
votees have been looking daily for great re-
suits from all his military movements. but
they see nothing. This will never do-no,
never. If jeff doesn't startle his Cotton
State friends very soon, perhaps they will
startle him.
He has only signalized himself since the
Cotton States set up for themselves by in
augurating system of wholesale piracy, and
issuing few letters of marque to desperadoes
who have nothing to lose in the enterprise
on which they are about to enter

HONORS TO THE MEMORY OF
HON. 5. \. DOUGLAS.

The intelligence Of the death Of Senator
Dou4la,-though eXpe:ted-has produced
deep feeling in our community. While the
past public positions OF Mr.. Douglas have
not been such as o command, at all times,
The adherence ofthc people Of Vermont to
his political standard, they have always had
a high appreciation of his talents as bold
and fearless debattI as a man OF persistent
energy, and tirelesS gor, and an open adj
vocate of his principles and thus It has
been that while disagreeing with him in many
of his public acts, and political opinions, the
people ofbs native State, and those espe-
ciallv of Rutland County, have ever been
ready to award him all honor as large
hearted and able mana defiant defender of
his views of public policy and distinguished
son Of the Vermont Mountain State.
The bells in this place were tolled Tues
day at noon, and tie flags Of the yillage-and
as we learn throughout the county-were
displayed at half-mast, and many of them
draped with black as 2 testimonial OF re-
spect to the honored departed. We learn
that at Castleton, especially tuis demonstra-
lion was general and that rAe large Union
Flag ofP w. HYDE, a Douglas delegate to
the Charleston Convention was draped in
mourning.
We have no doubt that ike testimonials
have been rendered throughout the State.

CONFEDERATE FINANCEs.-The Mont
gomery correspondent of the Savannah Re-
publican thus discusses the prospect of the
rebel revenues
1T is feared that the blockade of Lincoln

speedily raised and if not, the government
will have to resort to direct taxation, in or
der to provide for its support. The plan
will prove acceptable to the people, and will
be more effective than mere dependence
upon an uncertain income. Some one has
suggested. though not officially. the project
Of levving tax OF four per cent. upon
savcs-but considering the average value
of the slave at present to be four hundred
dollars. the income will Tot exceed thirty
six millions. The Secretary of War alone
estimates for thirty-hve millions, and II Is
probable that at least one hundred will be
needed for disbursement this year. " e~may
therefore expect a system OF direct taxation,
in case any Inconvenience is experienced IN
collections of the customs revenue. The ia
riff will be reduced to an exceedingly low
figure, and will expose by It's action, the
monstrosities Of il colleague, the Morill
tariff

duties Of the confederate tariff are, As the
