THE WORLD has now been in existence for a

For the coming year no labor or expense will be
spared to make The World what it aims to be-the
BEET NEWSPAPER IN AMERICA.

ORLEANS County TEMPERANCE So
CIETY.--The semi-annual meeting of the
Orleans Temperance Society was holden
Mt the church in Troy village on Tues
day, the l 9th day of July, 1861. There
being no officers of the society present,
the meeting was organized by the choice
of Samuel Sumner, Esq, for president
ard W. d. Wilson for secretary. Prayer
was then offered by the Rev. Mr.. Bald
win. The president then briefly sta
ted the object of the meeting, and in
vted all present to participate in the ex-
ercises. The Rev. Pliny III. White was
invited to address the meeting, which be
did in bis usual interesting and eloquent
manner. The audience was much pleas
ed with his remarks and listened with
marked attention, admiring his earnest
ness in the cause Of temperance in which
he seems to be very zealously engaged
The Rev. Mr. Baldwin next occupied the
attention of the audience by relating some
very interesting facts of an carly date,
and very forcibly urging the importance
of being more engaged in the temperance
reformation. The remarks of the Rev.
Mr.. Baldwin were well received. The
president of the meeting made some re-
marks that were interesting. Upon mo-
ton Of Dudley West, Esq, the meeting
adjourned.
Notwithstanding noneof the officers of
the society were present, and the attend
ance was not so large as was expected
yet the meeting passed off very pleasant
ly and satisfactorily to all who had tht
pleasure of attending.

deserved and hattering eulogy; and yet,
the Government which he labored so sue
cessfuly to serve and to save, sends him
home with a blistering censure the War
Department consigns him to retiracy
when his services are more needed than
ever before to save an imperilled Union!
We say to the Administration frankly,
whatever may have been the motive for
this extraordinary act, whether it was
dictated by the revenge of baflled and
disappointed swindIers, as charged in the
Herald correspondence, or resulted from
mistaken policy based upon false repre-
sensations or impressions, the people aOiH
not rest satisfied until the aOrOng IS &C.
knosoledged and justice is rindicated.
Gen. Wool is entitled to the confidence
Of the Government. He was among the
first to raise the tocsin Of alarm when the
traitors began to show their hands and to
develope their policy of rebellion. In
letter to a friend in Washington, Dec. 81,
1860, Gen. Wool said, in reference to
Fort Sumter:
If however, it should be surrendered
to South Carolina, (Which do not apprv-
hend,) the Snaothered indignation of the
Free States i0ould be reused beyond con-
troll In TWENTY DAYS tao hundred
thousand men would be IN readiness to
take vengeance on all a0ho ,oo,Sld Jetray
the Union into the hands Of its enemies.
Be assured that l do not exaggerate the
feeling of the people,
What is here predicted has been full
filled to the letter. The loyalty of the
people of the free States has been de-
monstrated. A more sublime spectacle
the world has never known. Shall it be
overcast even with shade of dishonor
the part of the Government, by the pro-
scription of one its ablest defenders !?
We trust not. Let justice be done though
a Cabinet Minister be expelled. Gen.
Jackson dared to do right; President
Lincoln dares to do right. And we be-
lieye he has the frmness to demonstrate
his power over the Cabinet, or any mem
Der thereof, when duty to the country
and himself demands the exercise of such
power to enforce justice and sustain the
popular patriotism.

Our Michigan Colonel.

The officers Of the Vermont Second
Regiment have requested their Colonel
TO resign, he having exhibited marks OF
cowardice during the late battle.
We clip the above item from the camp
news Of the Boston Journal, and it is am
ply corroborated by many returned Yer
mont volunteers who were in the great
fight at Bull Ron. We commend the
facts to the attention of Gov. Fairbanks
and his pensioned pimps who have been
so lavish Of their praises of Col. Whiting,
the "brave and accomplished" cadet who
came all the way from the aguo swamps
of Michigan to head a Vermont regi-
ment on "the bloody field Of Mars"
The Vermont Second has been dis
graced by a cowardly Colonel, but it is a
great consolation for them to know that
the "gallant" agent for the sale of our
poor Governors excellent scales is not a
Vermonter but Michigander We do
not wish to find fault with the Governor
for having appointed coward to lead
Vermonters in battle, for a man cannot
be known in that particular until the hour
of trial, and a Vermonter may exhibit
the white feather as readily as other men
but it is as safe to trust our own citi-
zens as it is to trust foreigners, while the
people of the state will be much better
satisfied.
