baltimore. nov. -
Very gratifying dispatches were received
to-day by Gen Dix from Eastern Va. They
announce the capture Of three confederate
officers, Captain and two Lieutenants. and
also the capture Of seven cannon, all entirely
new and IN good order.
The dispatches state that all traces OF Dis
loyalty seem 10 have disappeared IN both
counties. D-putations come N daily 10 get
copies OF the procl.fDs'ion oflGen. Dix, and
TO ask for the pror-r,,n which il promises
them. They are es.,i~nily anxious TO renew
their Allegiance 10 the federal government.

VThe Courier lis evidently not pleased
with the Representative from Rutland.
1t is generally supposed the editor of the
Courier would have much preferred the
election Of the other candidate last Fall.
1t is singular that the people OF staid old
Rutland will persist in sending such trash
a. VIM. T. Nichols and Horace Allen to
represent them in the Legislature. when
an unseltish, patriotic and intelligent per
son like John Cain is SO willing and anx-
ious to serve them, The latest offence OF
which the Courier holds Mr.. Nichols gull
ty, is his position OF neutrality upon the
Bank question. Now we conceive such
a position honorable to him. II may be
assumed, though we do not kno10 the fact,
that Mr.. Nichols supposed he had pecu-
MARY interest either in the establishment
or defeat Of new Bank. and Ike an in
terested juror, he very properly declined
to sit in judgment upon his own case.

THE NEW BANK

The bill to incorporate the Rutland
County Bank, introduced into the House
Of Representatives on the sixth OF No
vember by Mr.. Nichols, has passed both
branches of the Legislature. The COM
naittees of the two branches, reported the
ksll without any expression OF opinion.
1t passed the Senate by vote OF 20 in
favor to against the bill. The main
argument in favor OF its passage in the
Senate was made by Mr., Woodbridge of
Addison County. He insisted that Rut
land is the hub of Vermont" ifnot of
ago by our Burlington friends. The
usual cIap-trap of monopoly was dwelt
upou, the witnesses for the remonstrants
were called "nabobs Of Rutland. &c,
&c and although it was answered upon
the floor of the Senate by the chairman OF
had wholly failed upon all points to show
the necessity for additional banking cap
Kal, and therefore as we insist, for a new
bank at Rutland. and although it was
conceded by Mr. Woodbridge that the
present Bank had been managed with
singular fidelity to the true interests of the
Town and County of Rutland, and had
met all calls made upon it for discounts
when good paper had been offered, yet the
argument of monopolp" and "nabobs, "
was too much for the sober good judg-
ment of the Senate, and the bill passed.
The action OF the House upon the bill
was anything but fair or intelligent. The
Senate bill was sent to that body just be-
fore its adjournment on Tuesday after
noon. In the evening, on the assembling
of the House. (not much more than halt
the members being in their seats,} the
bill was called up, and read the first and
second times. whereupon Mr.. Gardner OF
Bennington. Bank Commissioner last
wear. who stated in his report that there
was then altogether too much banking
capital in the State.) moved to suspend
the rules. so az TO put the bill at once up
on its passage, which was done, and the
bill passed by q vive voce vote, the oppo-
nents of the measure charged with the du-
ty of active labor being out OF their seats
at the time, including the Bank Committee
q majority of whom were in fact opposed
10 the passage of the bill. The bill, as
soon as passed, was rushed out OF the
House to the Senate, was incontlnentiy
signed by the presiding officers of the two
branches-sent to the Governor, received
his signature, and the announcement CT ex'
ecutive approval was made by his Secre-
tary, before the opponents of the measure
could'possibly take the necessary steps te
get reconsideration of the hasty vote o.
the House. And thus the bill became
law. The House, let it be. borne in mind
passed the bill without knowing anything
whatever of its merits, no statement o.
facts having been made by the commute
on Banks, and none having been called

FROM PORT ROYAL.

Since the Union troops landed on Port
Royal Island, about two weeks ago, large
store houses have been erected, tempo
raoy dock, ami large hospital have been
built,and over two million dollars worth of
stores, camp equipage, ordnance, and am
munition have been landed The militia
~ engineers have made thorough topO-
graphical survey of the Island, with a
view of selecting strategical points On
which to construct Notifications. The re-
suit of these surveys shows that the de-
scent of the Naval Expedition was wholly
unexpected, from the fact that entire
plantations of the rich Sea Island Cotton
remains ungathered, and that which has
been harvested has either been destroyed
by the rebels in their retreat, or remains
ungined, and now IN possession Of our
troops. II Is said there IL cotton enough
there 10 load the clipper ship Great Re-
public, now al the port. The slaves re-
port that there is much scarcity Of salt in
that region, and that the article Is worth
its weight ID silver. Food Is scarce all
over the south The few white resident:
seen by our troops allege in the most EN-
phatic terms that the mass Of the people
of South Carolina are heart-sick Of theil
war folly, and that were it not for the
madness and persistency OF the Pickens
the Rhetts, the Barnwells, and other lead
ers of the rebellion, who have beggard th,
State, that the State would be glad to re
turn TO her allegiance to the Union.

E- The Courier charges that il our
article in yesterdays Herald We abused
the applicants for a new Bank in Rut-
land" The charge is grossly fal-e, and
the Courier knows it. The Courier also
charges that We abused the Republican

needed circulars distributed on then desks
10 inform them how 10 vote. We said
nothing of the kind. II, however, s plain,

We confess TO having abused y the Leg
islature. II 10 state that the House
passed the bill without any information
from the Bank Committee a TO the show
ing made before them. and thus, in igno-
rance Of the facts, amounts TO calling them
an Ignorant rabble.7 then We plead guilty
10 having denounced the members Of that
body a. such, but not otherwise. We
simply say that the bill was acted upon
in defiance to that regard for public dirty
