The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-07-04

On the day which has justly been regarded as
the most memorable in the annals of the Republic,
and in the presence of events so remarkable as
those that are hourly Transporting around us. it is
.maniiestly proper that we should say something
apropos to the occasion and to the situation,
The difficulty was to know exactly how to handle
the theme. 1t is by no means a novel one, for in
Vulnerable orators and prose writers, during the
past three quarters Of a century, have pretty much
exhausted every possible sort of trope and figure
in discussing it. Their particular manor has beer
poached upon too severely already, but the felt
of rhyme, besides being more promising, is still
lairiy open to all corners; and as the old music @
Independence has recently been set 10 new apt
strange accompaniments it seemed to demand ,
lyric to match. Such as it is we present it to ou
readers. 1t has one merritt is short May VT
also hope that it will be found-sgni6caut
INDEPENDENCE DAY.
Oh freedom is a blessed thing!
Ana men have marched on stricken fields,
And fought and bled, to noblv grasp
The glorious fruits that Freedom yields.
Then let the banner Hout the air,
The fairest once Of Freedoms typeg;-
The stars are fading one BY one
What matter?-we have still the stripes.
Oh! happy men of Masyland;
Remember! We have still the stripes.
Why heed the cannon in your street;
The bayonets that block your way?
Rejoice! for you were free men once.
And this is-"lndependence Day!"
Then let the banner fout the air
The farest once of Freedoms types
The stars are fading one By one
What matter! We have still the stripes
Oh! happy men ofMaryla land;
Remember! We have still the trjpes.

For the Daily Freeman.
White River Junction ia Ashes.

Mr.. EDITOR This place is the scene of the
most fearful conhagration l ever witnessed.
The alarm of fire was given about half past
eleven this forenoon. The portion of the shop
occupied for manufacturing pegs caught fire
near the roof. An effort to work the stationary
fire engine proved unsuccessful The wind was
blowing strongly frem the SOUTH and soon the
extensive shops formerly occupied BY Latharns
for making cars were all in flames. The force
of the wind carried portions from the burning
buildings, and the conhaeration spread rapidly,
taking in its course the Passumpsic Woodshed,
the Central Engine House, Depot, both freight
and passenger, including Post Office, Telegraph
Office, and other smaller buildings in conncc-
ton, embracing two or.more loaded freight cars
Lyman store house, on the north side of White
River, was consumed.
twas with the utmost difficulty that the
Passumpsic bridge was saved, and the Junction
Hote. The unoccuped shop here has long
been used as general store house, and was full
of machinery and various kinds of valuable
property, only portion of which Was saved
The lire is still raging but we think it Will not
spread farther. The loss of property is i'm.
mense. N. b. Stafford, Esq, who owned the
Latham shops had no insurance 1t must prove
the ruin of the business Of this place
Yours truly, a. WEBSTER.

The Richmond Dispatch is happy to be inform
Ell that among the other dete ices of the Eliza
beth and Nansemond rivers, are those admirable
contrivances for giving an unex pec,ed hoist to
an invading fleet. In one place, we are inform.
ed, the work is Of a character that would dam
age seriously the largest squadron tina, ever
hoated on the waters. 1t is also said that the
same contrlvances either have been or are about
to be arranged at various places along the coast.
The batteries around Norfolk are 10 linton con-
dltlon, and any demonstration upon that point
Will be met In Il manner that will make the eyes
OF the next generation of VIrginans sparkle
with delight when they opan that illumned
page of her history.
The Government is changing as rapidly rs
possible the old muskcts of the troops when
they arrive, and supplying them with Mimic and
oharps rides. They intend to have these old
arms inspected, and such as are Of su(|icjnnt
value are to b rlled and supplied with the best
modern improvements for breech- loadinp and
cap locks. This can be done ut slight Tynrnsn
TO the Government, and make efficient and val.

The CONFLICT BEGUN The cloud which, for
the last fortnight has been ominously lowering
over Washington and the surrounding borders,
now gives unmisakablo token of bursting in a
tempest of war. The war, indeed, has now al
ready been begun in earnest. The eyes of the
whole nation, both among the determined de-
tenders of the Union, and among the savage but
trembling minions of rebellion, arc now, with
intense anxiety, turned to this spot. That God
will favor the right is all The North have to ask,
and all the rebel South have to fear.

Our Duty to our Soldiers.

A soldier, to BE- Efficient, should be well fed,
well clad, aud feel that those for whom he Is
willing to fight arc willing also to sacrifice some
thing of their own ease and comfort to promote
the comfort of those in the Camp Or Field. That
Government which neglects the comfort OF It's
soldiers will find no honors or victories in war,
1t is IA. bet ter that those who say at home
should complain Of extravaganza than those
who are to fight complain Of want.
The Camp should never be forgotten by the
State which sends men to it. Our gallant
State has sent ont one Regiment of her best
citizens, to secure the liberties of those who
stay behind Our generous Legislature has
voted abundant means to make them efficient
and secure their comfort and it is painful to
hear that any of the brave sons of Vermont
who have gone to fight for the freedom OF our
common Country arc in want of the neccssarles
of life. 1t can hardly be expected that the
General Government, with the numerous troops
so fresh upon its hands, will be able to secure
the comfort of ALL The mastering Of our
State Militia into the United States Sc, vice, is
no reason why the State should cease to care
for the wants of her sons. Vernon, is in the
field, and Vermont should see to it that her
brave sons should have no GAUGE of complaint
against our State There is no doubt but ade-
quate power is given to furnish efficient men,
and this can only be done by furnishing the
means to make them so. If provisions or
clothing are needed by our men, provisions and
clothing should at oncc be provided and sent,
let the cost be what it may and this should
not be left to charity but those to whom the
raising and furnishing the Regiments 8 con,
fded should see to it tina, those sent by them to
fight, and die, if need be, for our Country, are
cared for
The First Regiment was sent out with one
suit of clothes. 1t is hoped that no other Reg
iment OF Vermont Militn will be turned out as
collateral security for the permanence of the
Government with but one coat, one vest, one
pair of pants one pair Of shoes, to each man,
and none in reserve
Our men are brave and patriotic. May they
be kept so by the kind treatment of that State
whose honor they are seEt to maintain And
instead Of complaints against the extravaganza
OF the State, there will be but one general shout
of commentator.
