UATTEKAS INLET.

This inlet, the scene OF the late important
victory of the L. S. Naval and Military
forces, is. not marked down on most OF the
maps in common use. 1t lies nearly mid
way between Cape Hatteras and Ocracoke
inlet on the n Carolina c0ast-and is from
twelve to sixteen miles distant from the cape.
Though there are bars mt the approach,
there is clear channel through the inlet ;
aud at least fourteen feet OF water at mean
low tide For long distance each way
from Cape Hatteras, the sea coast Is proven
bially dangerous \ safe inlet like that
through the long range Of narrow ISLANDS
bounding the coast, into the safe naylgable
" 4ters of Pamlic) Sound, Is Of lnestlmable
consequence. Early in the season the rebels
took possession OF it,and fortified 1t with two
forts. the smaller, tort Clark. the larger,
fort Hatteras both mounted with heavy
guns-the object being to defend the entrance
from L. S. vessels and to protect taeir own
pratical operations. The lights OF the light
houses were put cut alons the coast, and the
place became a mere pirates nest
The difference to the rcb els by this traps
fer Of the inlet and its for Is to the possession
Of 5. forces with a fee course Tor L. S
vessels into the sound, is one which they will
feel very deeply.

THE ELECTION.

The GRAND result of the election In YER
mont. Tuesday, is the election OF Tue
R.nubl;can State Ticket by majority or
nav IN round numbers, THIRTY IHoo-
SAND. Four or five thousand votes, one
vav or the other from that figure, will make
no particular difference. The Democratic
ana Tracy, or so-called "Union'' vote,
combined, will probably not reach foe
thousand votes.
In Chittenden County none but the Repub-
lican State and County Tickets were circu
lated, and the vote is all but unanimous
In Rutland County, much the same state OF
things prevailed as to the State ticket, ana
so in some of the other portions OF the State.
OF course there were many sharp contests
in various towns on the Town Representatives
from considerations entirely aside OF State or
National affairs. In some two republicans
were pitted against each other. This was
the case in Essex, in this County, where Mr.
Ferguson was elected over the regular noml-
nee of the caucus, on the second ballot-by
80 majority.
In Rutland, after very spirited canvass,
ir which 1923 votes were polled-much the
largest vote ever cast in that town-John
Cain, the great suggester and leader OF the
"no party" party-after having secured
no party nomination from caucus com
posed like that in Burlington) IN good pro-
portion of Democrats, was defeated, and "
T. Nichols, staunch and working Repub-
lican, was elected by 275 majority.
As to the election in this town we 60 not
know that we need add much to the bare
: announcement. The result speaks pretty well
for itself Several persons "hedrd su'fb'n
drap" between three and four O'Clock IN the
afternoon, but it was not the republican
party of Burlington, or their candidate, Mr.
MOVES The reckless engineers and unscl
entifc stokcrs, who undertook to run The
machine" for the Republicans, found them
selves not quite equal to the task, ant
though shey"fred hard they could not MAKE
time They have, however, the satisfaction
of remembering that they did their prctticst
and though they did not gain the day, they
have gained an important lesson, by whicl
it is to lie hoped they may profit in future
The result of town election in Colchcste
where democrat of, it is said, decided s.
cession tendencies, was elected by the aid y
Republican votes, was simply disgraceful
Colchester could and should have chosen
Republican by 100 majority.

The Tines of Monday morning, took The
ground that all who participated in the
meeting of Friday evening are bound to vote
for Mr.. Blodgett because he received the
most votes at that meeting
We do not think 50.
The call of the meeting, at the out set,
was such as the Republican Town Commit
tee had no night to issue. The authority
only extended to calling a Republican meet
ing. Their call was revolutionary in its
character. All the freemen of the town
were invited to attend, for not man can be
named who will admit that the terms Of the
invitation would exclude him.
But it was to be presumed that Mr.. Noyes
would be nominated, for the reasons that an
overpowering majority Of the voters went for
HIM last year, and that by common usage he
was entitled to u denomination, that his abb
lily and industry in the Legislature last year
were conceded by all and that he had no
toriously rendered most important services
during the summer, in aid of the public
exigences, and because the weighty legisla.
ton of the coming session would need his
experience and ability.
That under the circumstances he would be
showed aside, and man who stood IN NJ
one of these relations to the voters OF thu
town thrust in his place, was not to be ex
pected. If Mr.. Noyes were nominated, NJ
immediate mischief would result from tn
unauthorized action Of the committee, aud
the proceeding could be allowed to pa.
without further disturbance or occasion Il
I special excitement.
For these reasons we contented oursclve
before tie Caucus with urging the full at
tendance, which if given by the Republican
as it was by the Democrats would hay
saved all further trouble.
But the action Of the caucus pllinl
showed combination of Il few persons az
tuated by personal hostility, and those VIII
have heretofore been Mr.. Noyes' politica
opponents, to set up a man for no othC
, reason, than that be has always been
strong Democrat.
Now then, that PARTY committee can ca
, a caucus. not of their PARTY, and then hol

HON. G.. T.. MARSH At TURIN.

y recent Turin letter mentions the fact that
the first formal diplomatic dinner given by
the present Premier Of Italy, VI. RicasoLl,
was IN honor Of the new United States Min
istcr, Mr. Marsh. Ii was happy coinci-
dence for certainly no representative Of any
foreign power will bring a more cordial and
intelligent recognition OF the aims and sue
cesses of the great Italian Revolution than
Mr.. Marsh. And this, not 50 much by reason
Of his strong instructive love Of the liberties
which that revolution represents, as by rea-
son Of his intimate knowledge Of the drift Of
the cultivated minds OF Italy for the ten years
last past, and his CORDIAL sympathy with
them for still longer period. Mr.. Marsh is
no cOurtier. in the ordinary sense of that
term but yet he Is at home on Italian
ground, while his eminent scholarship and
large inform tlon would make him at home
on any European ground bat to the Italian
Court he brings such thorough sympathy
with the Italian cause, and such intimate
acquaintance with the long series of struggles
which have al length made the cause triumph
ant, that We venture to say that no foreign
appointment Of our Government has been
more adroit, more prudent. and none 50 tho
roughly agreeable to any European dynasty.

eggs have served for his meat and drink dur.
Ing this long period, that he has been IL.

formation, with an elevation OF not more
than four OF five feet above the sea. and with
no fresh water Of any kind on it. When
the slOop arrived and her boat landed. the
dog ran to meet and welcome his visitors,
and gave expression to the greatest JOY. tie
Immediately jumped into the boat, deter
mined not to be left behind when it should
again push off, and there secreted himself
Tor long time, or until he found that the
sailors intended staying some time. But
the eagerness with which he watched the
boat every day and stayed by the men showed
that he had great fear of being LETT again
