gentleman Gin the best sense of that best of
titles worn by those of the Anglo Saxon
race" Surrounded by those whom he loved
and aided by those who did the honors of his
household with rare gracefulness, his special
delight was to render his house the home of
genuine hospitality.
Full of honors and years, Mr.. Hodges died
OF paralysis, after an illness of two weeks du-
ration, at his residence in Rutland on the 9Th
August, 1860, IN the 72d year of his age.
His funeral was attended on Saturday af-
ternoon, August 11th, at Trinity Church all
places of business in Rutland were closed
and the funeral ceremonies were performed
by Bishop Hopkins, in the presence of large
concou!se near and remote from Rutland,
who had assembled to pay their last respects
to a faithful friend and true-hearted man.
Such is too brief and imperfect sketch of
the career of one who was, indeed, no ordin-
ary man, and whose loss will be long and
widely deplored. 1t cannot be better closed
than by quoting the language of one OF our
honored associates, who no " occupies seat
in Congress as his successor. The Hon. +.
L. Walton speaks of his deceased friend and
predecessor in these warm and glowing terms:
" Through sound judgment, practical knowl-
edge, thorough business hatits, great energy.

large irfuence in the politics of Vermont, in
all its business circles and in all public enter
prises. Few men have been II ore prominent,
and few so worthy Of confidence and high es-
teem His death is a loss not only to the
town and the county where he has hal so
large interests and influence, but to the whole
State oil Vermont"

VOICE OF THE LOYAL NORTH
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

We sing sour Country's" song to night
With saddened voice aud eye;
Her banner droops in ciouded ljght
Beneath the wintry sky.
Well pledge her onee In golden wine
Before her stars have set;
Though dim one Redeemed orb may shine,
We have country yet.
Twas vain to sigh o'er errors past,
TIE fault of sires or sons:
Our soldier heard the threatening blast
And spiked his useless guns;
he SAW the star-wreatned ensign fall
By mad invaders torn;
But saw it from the FASHIONED wall
That laughed their rage to scorn!
What though their angry cry is flung
Across the howlIug wave
They smite the air with idle tongue
The gathering storm who brave;
Enough OF speech. the trumpet rings;
be silent, patient, calm---
God help tuem IL the tempest swings
The pine against the palm!
Our toilsome years have made US tame;
Our strength has slept untelt;
The furnace Dire Is slow TO fame
That bids the ploug hshares melt
lis hard to lose the bread they win
Ia spite of Natures frowns,-
TO drop-the iron threads we spia
That weave our web of towns.
TO see the rustling turbines stand
BEFORE the empted fumes,
10 fOld the arms that food the land
With rivers from their LOOMS
But harder still for those who learn
The truth forgot so long:
When once the slumbering passions burn,
The peaceful are the strong!
The Lord have mercy on the weak,
AND calm the IIenzied ire,
Ana save our brothers ere tuey shrek
W Z plaNeu with northern lire ~
The eagle holds lis mountain height
The tiger pace his den
Give all their country, each his right
God keep u all Amen

II is evident TO naval people that whatever
course political events NAV take, the home
squadron will be called on Tor an efIicirnt

gate Sabine. There Is also reason TO believe
that the sloOp 81. Louis will come home

gence comes from a naval officer at that
place.

TR1BUNR's DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Cen. Patterson
has called for Court of Inquiry of his
conduct in the campaign of last spring and
summer.
Commander Poor, tried for allowing the
Sumpter to escape from New Orleans, when
he was in command of the Brooklyn block
aiding that port, was acquitted by the Court
and the sentence has been approved by
Secretary Welles.
The high military crime of sleeping on a
post in front of the enemy has brought an
other officer into peril of his life by Court
Martial.
Lieut.. Hart, of the New York 31st, was
brought over to-day and placed in close
confinement, charged with this offence while
on picket duty. Gen. Sedgwick who COM
mands a brigade in Gen. Heintzleman's
Division, marched with infantry, cavalry
and artillery amounting to three or four
regiments as far as Bone Hill on Acontinek
Creek, where three hundred rebel cavalry
have been posted three or four days.
Gen. Hancock, of Gen. Smiths Division,
with three or four regiments marched
toward Fairfax Court House, and then
marched back again. They found indica-
tons that the enemy had been over the road
within "a hours.
