TIE USE .'RED TAPE"

81 Red Tape gets roundiy abused pretty
often, aud sometimes with reason. A Wash
inston correspondent of the n. Y. Commcr-
cidi comes to the rescue, as follows:
Ny experience and observation in camp life
has converted me to a belief in red tape.' l see
that red tape Is nothing more less than a strict
enforcement Of rules made by honest ard wise
officers, on sound principles of action. 1 see that
red tape holds an army from going to pieces, lost
in pathless forest of new particulars. l see
that red tape safely guides each man through a
labyrinth. see that rcd tape ties the hands Of
uncounted numbers who might be tempted TO de-
fraud. l see that red tape checks any who might
feel inclined to exact just little more than is
right. l see that red tape holds back army
from sinking into unexplored depths Of corrup-
ton. Red tape takes great deal Of time, but it
is time worth less than the order it ensures, or the
money it saves. Red tape is annoying to the in
dividusl, but annoyance is more easily endured
than disorder and disgrace. A volunteer who has
always managed his own business at home sue
cesstully, rapidly, and independently, finds it
hard to be brought up shor. at every turn by
little piece of red tape. 1t is hard. He grumblcs
dreadfully, if, indeed he does not indulge in moro
unseemly vituperation. I wish he would picture
to himself an administration without red tape.

The Committee reported the following

For Governor,
PAUL DILLINGHAM;.
FOR Lieut. Governor,
STEPHEN THOMAS
For Treasurer,
J.T. THURSTON.
Mr.. Barlow, of st. Adams, objected to the
adoption Of the report. He said the Conven-

lie moved to substitute the name of Mr..
Holbrook for Governor, in place of Mr.. Dill
liDgham, Mr.. Dillingham; for 1t. Governor
in place of Mr.. Thomas, and Mr.. Page for
Treasurer in place OF Mr.. Thurston.
Ii. B. Smith. of st. Adams, argued that
the Convention was called by the Democratic
State Committee, and was properly L Demo-
cratic Convention. He was in favor of per-,
petuating the Democratic Party as the Party
that had made the Country great. He had |
yet to learn that any thing in Democratic
principles were hostile to patriotic action.
He could be Il patriot and still remain
Democrat.
Mr.. Barlow's motion to substitute was
rejected by an overwhelming majority, and
the State Ticket, as reported, was adopted.

THE SECOND VT. REGIMENT,

THE SECOND VT. REGIMENT.
WV. G.. SHAW, ESQ, who has just return
ed from Washington, furnishes us with inter
esting particulars about the part taken by
the 81 Vermont in the battle on Sunday.
Col. Towards Brigade, in which was the
ID Vermont, was not ordered into the engage
ment till late in the afternoon, and the regi
ment was in actual battle but about half an
hour. The brigade was sent out to cover
the retreat of the army, and fell back slowly
in good order-to Centreville. There halt
was made of two hours. Our regiment called
its roll ana got supper, and many turned in
to sleep, expecting to stay there during the
night. In the evening came orders to retreat
further, however, and the regiment marched
back to Alexandria.
None OF the commissioned officers are Id ss-
ing except Capt. Drew Of Burlington.
He had been sick, and ON the march from
Centrcville to the field. Sunday morn
ing, gave out, and was carried to a wooden
building used as a hospital This building
Is known to have been fired on during the
engagement by the rebels. and some accounts
say 1t was burned after the retreat. 1t is
probable that Capt. Drew was taken prisoner
with the others in the building.
Sergeant Stuart OF the Burlington Com
plny is liz hospital at Washington, wounded,
and the six whose names We gave yesterday
were yet missing when Mr.. Shaw left Wash
ton.
The regiment was somewhat broken up
during the retreat, and q number of the
soldiers went of by themselves. some losing
their way and coming GU, at Fort Corcoran
above Washington. We hope the missing
will yet make their appearance
Capt. Hope of the Castlcton Company re-
ports five killed in his company, Reed, " il
son, Hodges, Bailey and Ward. Captain
Hopes son, who accompanied him is miss
ing.
The Castleton Company were sent out as
skirmshers, and were more exposed therefore
than the rest of the regiment. They were
tho last to leave the field.
Orderly Sergeant Woodbury. of the Fetch
er Company is wounded.
Lieut.. Sharlley. Of the Burlington Com
pany, was thrown down and stunned by
cannon ball that Iloughsd the ground ont
from under his feet, bat was not wounded,
and marched on with the company. Order
ly Sergeant BAN is sad to have shown ,,reat
gallantry.

Reign of Terror.

We learn that few politicians, whose sympa-
thies are with the LINCOLN government in its war
upon the South are endeavoring to mislead those
who have formerly coufi5ed in Them by asserting
that there is a reign of terror in Nashville, and
that man whose sympsthies are not with the
South in this struggle dare publicly address the
citizens of Nashville. We beliYve that no man
could now advocate the policy of LINCOLN and his
hordes without receiving very decided evidences Of
Misrepresentation from bis hearers The day for defend
ing Lpoo has passed The people of Nashville see it
and feel it. The secesSionists have not brought about
this change. In this city and county and through
out Middle Tennessee, they were in wo!ul minor
ity. The developments of the war policy of the
dictator have opened the eyes of devoteC Union
and satisfied them that 10 their strong arms is
the only hope for the safety of their homes from
ravages Of an unnumbered and remorseless horde
from every quarter Of The globe concentrated in
the North The South abhors war,and most earnestly
prayerfully desires peace but they feel that fight
they must if they would be free. Hence they will
no longer patiently listen to one WHO ccunseIs them
to stand still and shout the praises of those whose
keen appetite for lust and spOiis are daily whetted
b, tatulous tabs of the beauty and booty of the
Southern States

Canada Refuses to assi.. Lincoln.

The mad fanatics of the North have been count
ing largely upon aid. in men and munitions of war
from the British Government, and visions of Mimic
Rifles and other arms from Canada, have filed their
eyes. The following from the Montreal Commercial
AdrertiseT Of the oath ult, throws a wet blanket
over these somew hat enthusiastic calculations:
Teegrlphs hve been received IN this city from
the Governor of Massachusetts, and others direct
ing the purchase Of large quantities of arms for
the Northern States. Applications have also been
made from the same quarter for the loan of the
MIME Rifles belonging to the Volunteer Forces.
OF arms for sale there is no 1antity in Canada;
the application for the Volunteer arms is utterly
inadmissible Canada ought not directly nor indi-
recuy to interfere in the war between the North
ern and Southern COnfederacies.
The application comes too with peculiarly i'll
grace from a people who made much fuss
about the CFimean enlistments, and actually re
fused passage through its territory by way of
Portland for the very rifles which it now desires
US to lend them.
The Provincial Government should interfere
promptly to stop the export to either of the bel
Ggerents of articles cOntraband of war. and to
prevent all enlistpleuts other participation in
the contest now going on in the Republic.
