To Farmers.

The war which is now commenced, and will ,
we hope, be prosecuted until treason and
traitors are exterminated, root and branch, will
we fear, last till after the next harvest
Though many of your sons and brothers have
gone, and are going to the war, and thus it
may seem very nigh to you, it yet will not, in
its horrors and devastation, visit the soil of
Vermont. We shall hear the rumbling of the
distant thunder, but shall not see the destruc-
tive ma rch of the storm. The blessings of
peace will, we believe, rest upon your homes,
and you can now plant and SOW in the full ex-
pectation of quietly getting in your harvest in
The autumn.
But Bread and Beef will bring high prices
in the market as the war progresses. Two hun
dred thousand sodiers,-and we hope the Gov
eminent will call out rs many as that,-wlll
have to be fed. Tho meat and the bread which
they are to subsist upon, you will have to pro-
dnce For it you will get the market price,
whatever that may be: and there is very little
doubt that that price will be higher than for
many years past The war in the Crimea, five
thousand miles away, materially enhanced the
price of farm products in this Country several
years ago, and the present war must much more
affect prices now There is now an opportuni-
ty- such as is seldom offered, for you to coin
money from your farms; and this not by spec
ulating out OF the misfortunes of the Nation.
but by simply attending to the law of supply
and demand.
And now is your time to make ready for
this harvest. Let every farmer raise every
bushel of corn and wheat, and make every
pound of beef and butter and cheese that it ia
in has power to produce. Let every field be
cultivated that can be, and every OK and COW
that can, be fitted for the market.
The Country demands of you that you make
bountifnl preparation to feed those fighting for
.'our liberties, and your interest urges you to
be prepared to supply such demand for the
fruits of your labor as you have never before
known. Farmers, seize upon this golden op-
portunity: plant and SOW with large and lib
eral hand give all the labor and money YOU
can bring to this richly promising investment of
your time and your means; and your faras
will this year return you good measure, pressed
down, shaken together and running over.

Major w. T. Burnham, of this village, has
enlisted a full company of as noble fellows as
can be found in the State. They call themselves
the " Green Mountain Boys" and are making
every effort in their power to get an early oppor-
tunity to serve their Country. Every man of
them will make good soldier. When Vermont
once gets into the field, we think she will make
a good show. We hope to live long enough to
sec this desired result; but at present are not

AN 1NcIDENr,-ln one of our New England
colleges are two students from the sunny South
who recently became so much embarrassed thro
the failure of remittances that they contemplat-
ed returning home. Some Of the citizens Of the
town, learning the facts, determined to coerce
them to remain, and they did it very effectually
by raising a handsome sum and placing 1T in the
handsof the students. Their connection with the
college,t is needless to say, has not been dissol-
ved. That is the way Southerners are treated Al.
the North. Although Northern man, howey.
er well intentioned, could not now travel at the
South without imminent danger, Southern men
are perfectly safe among US.
