The Shareholders Rebellion,

Those who have supposed the present
administration was going TO bring order out
of chaos in day, should take drop OF
oil Of patience. The last administration
permitted the rebels of the south to carry
out their schemes, and establish an army
hostile to the United States, without let or
hindrance. If Buchanan had done as he
should have done, last November or Decem-
Der, the country would have been spared
the humiliating spectacle we witness to-day.
The shareholders rebellion should have
been put down then. Now the traitors are
well armed. They have stolen money,
forts, arsenals and arms from the fed
eral government, and large portion Of the
regular U. S. army have deserted to the
enemy. Seven states have left the Union,
and set up a government of their own
This was the condition of things on the 9TH
Of March, Now how can the present ad-
ministration, with bankrupt treasury, no
army, and no authority to raise one, bring
back the government to its former position
The traitors ought to be put down. They
deserve Waterloo thrashing, but what
have we got to do it wilh7 The country
was in ruins when Lincoln took his seat as
president-ruined by permission of the late
democratic administration. Now the oues-
ton is, shall the Union be saved? In the
condition in which it was left by Buchanan,
is it worth saving? Or shall we let the
cotton states slide? If the country is to be
saved it will take time to do it. If the
Union is to be divided, it will take time TO
DO that. The Union ought to be preserved,
and It there is po,oer enough to do it, we
believe il will be. 1t is not possible to build
up in day that, which took Buchanan four
years to destroy.

ES A little sparring on temperance mat
tiers between the Woodstock Standard and
Windsor Journal suggests one thing which
we have always favored. viz: That conven-
tons ought to be held at least as early as
Tuesday in the week, for the accommoda-
ton of the Country papers. Can't "all
hands OF the press agree on this ? BY
holding conventions on Thursday as is often
the case, ii is too late to insert the full pro-
ceedinss that week, and they become old
and stale the next week. Have not the

terest in this, as publishers

IcE.-An esteemed correspondent sends
US the following FRIEND SWAIN: / send
an account taken from the Winsted Conn
Herafd, of novel Ice House belonging to
MIR. Goodwin of New Hartford, Conn. 1t
seems to me particularly adapted to Yer.
mont, as most of our farmers have pure
spring water brought to their houses, and
those who have not, should have. With
running water. any person by the following
method can have pure ice without much ex.
pense and no trouble after once started. Az
ice has become one of the necessities of life
and good housekeeping we recommend all
TO read and profit by the following:
MIR. Goodwin is supplied with excel
lent water from spring at considerable
elevation above his house. Connected with
the pipe which supplies his house is branch
pipe leading to his ice house and across the
same, within the ice house, the pine !,
pierced by 20 or 80 small holes, from which
as many fine jets of water rise to the roof.
falling back in drops over the whole bottom
surface OF the house. These Jets are only
let on when the weather is cold, and the
doors and veniilators being open. the water
freezes as it falls and forms in few weeks
a solid block of pure, transparent ice which
Keeps through the season with much less
waste than If packed in the usual manner.
Saves the cold, hard work of cutting and
drawing ice, and costs nothing"
Try it, ye who can, and report, for the
benefit of others, to the b. F. TINES.

BELLOWS FALLS. MAR. 20, 1861


CT We give but little of the Washing
ton news this week from the fact that in
the first place there is none, and in the Sec
ond place, if there was, no reliance could
be placed upon it. We remember no time
when there has been so much humbuggery
in the news matter from Washington, as
dnring the last four months. Every alter
nate day some important thing is announced,
aud the next day contradicted. Many of
the country papers were last week caught
with the despatch that "Fort Sumter had
been blown up" Of course there was
nothing in it. For fortnight, one day the
(" order to evacuaie Fort Sumter had pos
lively" been sent; the next day it hadn't.
And so on, and thus the whole country is
kept in an uproar, caused, not by the gov
eminent, but by the news mongers and let
ter writers at Washington, who evidently
are not in the councils of the administra-
ton, and whose matter is made up almost |
entirely Of guesswork.

In recent conversation with one Of oui
physicians. we were informed that the sub.
ject of investigation and discussion at the
Society for Medical Improvement, in this
city, last Wednesday evening, was dipihe.
ria. After careful ANALYSIS of the facts
elected, the conclusion was that this was q
very rare and very fatal disease, accompa-
MED with enormous external sw cling of the
neck, face and chest, with but slight pain
and soreness in the throat. And the great
est mental pain and anxiety was disturbing
the public mind, from the false idea that
the disease is very prevalent in this city at
the present time. Comparing all the facts
that could be obtained, the members came
TO the conclusion that there had not been
over five cases in this city during the last
year, and one or two of these were some
what doubtful 1t was also limited that
many of the cases published in the news
papers are spurious, and are unnecessarily
disturbing the public mind. We are glad to
give the above information to our readers
and to correct any errors that may have
grown out of the published reports Wor-
cester Spy.
Similar reports Of the prevalence of the
disease in this city have been circulated, and
upon equally slight foundation. In CONVEX
sation recently with physician having an
extensive practice, he informed us that he
had not yet met with case, although CON-
plants of the throat have been unusually
prevalent this winter. He expressed
doubt whether half dozen well marked
cases of the disease had occurred in the
city. lie had had cases which presented
some OF the symptoms supposed to be char
acteristic of diptheria, but they were cases
of Group, liberated sore throat, OF some
other modification of ordinary throat dis
ease. 1t is worthy of remark that the
weekly reports of mortality in this city
show but three deaths from this disease du-
ring the present year.--Boston Journal.
We believe the same reports have been
circulated in this county during the present
winter on equally poor foundation. Many
families have been kept in state of panic
for weeks, and the physician has been sent
for on the appearance of any soreness about
the throat AMI anxiously interrogated as to
whether the case was one OF the dreadful
diphiheria. AT a late meeting of The Cal.
edonia County Medical Society, all the
members present stated that they had not
seen case of the disease in their own prac-
lice this winter. We believe The doctor
who will assert that he has case of this |
disease, unless he certainly knows it to be
such, is guilty of crime against the peace |
and comfort of commuuity.-.S JohnsJuyy
The above remarks will apply to this

The WAY GOVERNMENT WORK is DONE.
The Washington correspondent of the
Nashville Patriot has been investigating The
mysteries of government contracts, and
gives the following striking illustration of
the subject -
The way the government gets its work
done IS curious. As an illustration. YOU
and your family meet in convention of the
whole, and adopt resolution authorizing
the construction of hen coop in your back
yard. You at once appoint me superinten-
dent OF the work, putting thousand or
two OF dollars in bank for me TO check on.
get you TO appoint my brother-in-law chief
engineer. appoint two of my brothers
assistant superintendent, and my brother
in-law appoints two of his brothers assistant
ehgineers-all at your expense. We buy
US each fast horse and buggy, and ride
around town, drink hot cocktails and NAV
billiards, until the bank deposit gives oui.
when we make out printed report of sew
enty-three pages, furnishing you a complete
Typographical survey of your back yard,
and vast amount of statistical information
with regard to the number of hens you are
likely to have for the next forty years. We
wind up the report with the announcement
that the site Of the hen coop has been Sc
lected, and call for another appropriation
to prosecute the work. which we assure Won
VIII be done with 'yigor' You place an
other thousand or two in bank, and we en-

about three months. In the meantime we
drive around and go on vigorously with the
iiquor and billiards. We then come ND with |
another report, and demand for another
appropriation. With this we get the walls
OF The structure up, and with one or two
more appropriations, and great many more
cocktails and billiards, we get the the thing
covered in, and at the end Of twelve months
winch we very appropriately style our ifs

at Republican meeting in Hartford, the

Julius L. Strong, Esq, who has hitherto
been an active member of the Democratic
party. Letters have been received from
Connecticut by Senators at Washington,
which promise complete Republican vic.

From the Burlington Times.
Don't BE i'm n Hurry.

Few persons win refuse to admit that q
temporizing policy will not do for the pres.
ent administration. The plain issue of de.
termining whether we have a government
at all is presented to it. To temporize and
daily, is as fatal as abject concession to the
demands Of the revolutionists. Anything
short of the firm and decided assertion of
the complete and rightful supremacy of the
federal authority, is shameful and cowardly.
and must be the ruin as well as the disbon.
or OF our country. Public confidence is al.
ready shocked by the unexpected announce
ment OF the foreshadowed evacuation Of
Fort Sumter. The loyal people of the free
States will only give reluctant consent to
It on clear proof that it is an absolute and
imperative necessity. If the administra-
ton determines TO give it up, it must show
this or suffer from loss Of confidence in
its integrity and capacity, in the outset,

MILL BURNFD.-Op Friday night, 22d
inst, the large Steam Mill, situated in the
Southerly part of Troy, N. H., owned by
Simeon Merrifield, Jr., and occupied by
him as Saw Mill, Pail and Tub Shop,
was entirely destroyed by fire, together with
all the machinery aud large lot of ware
finished for market. Probable loss from
six to seven hundred dollars, on which there
was no insurance. 1t is supposed that the
fire is the work of an incendiary. The
loss falls heavily on Mr.. Mortified, who is
an enterprising and industrious young man.
