GOVERNlIENT PENSIONS FOR SoT-


The Government, it is said, has already paid
pensions to families of soldiers who fell Mt the
battle of Stone Bridge. The action has been
as prompt and liberal as the law is gracious and
just All particulars viii be furnished on ap-
picator to the Commissioner Of Pensions in
Washington, but in the mean time the follow
ing will he ample fer common cases:
"Under the first section of the act of July 4,
1886, soldiers of the volunteer or militia service
and the widows of soldiers dying in battle or
from injuries or diseases incurred while in ser
vice are entitled TO tGe full benefit Of the invalid
pension laws. Volunteers for more than six
months are especially provided for by an act
passed at the late session Of Congress- similar
in advantages, except om'tting the hundred
dollars bounty upon honorable discharge.
"The invalid pension laws give the wounded
soldier an annual stipend proportional to his
disability, viz. II totally disabled, the pay to
which he is entitled while in the service; il
half disabled, (as certified by the examining
surgeon) then halt-pay, and so on Tor less
debility.
"Widows Of officers or soldiers dying in the
service, or by reason of injury or disease in
cured therein, are entitled TO a pension
amounting to one-half the pay received by
their husbands. Minor children under sixteen
(where there is no widow are entitled to the
pension ito be equally divided If there is more
than one child) until of the age mentioned.
"No bounty land is provided for by law iol
any service whatever subsequent to the passage
of the act of March 3, 1855. For service pre-
vious to that date the soldier can only receive
bounty land when he has been engaged in some
recognized war, or else has actually been II
haiti, in the service of the United states.
"Neither bounty land nor pension VIII o'
granted except upon satisfactory proof Of scr
Nice and identity forwarded to the Pension Of

\ HARD SuoT.-Among the acts Of "this
proscsiptiyc administration which were zeal
culatcd to disgust the democrats" and "to in
augurate party instead of patriotism" was the
removal of Robert G. Scott, Mr.. Buchanans
consul at Rio Janeiro, "who was displaced for
no other reason than because he was a demo-
crat." At the capture of Fort Hatteras pa
per was touad from his prescribed democrat
giving thS names. description, destination and
time Of sailing of American vessels bound from
Rio 10 the United States, SO that the southern
privateers might know when and where to come
for them. Several Of these vessels have been
taken in consequence of this information. The
"peace party should pass a resolution of thanks
to Mr.. Scott, and another rebuking Mr.. Lincoln
for his "proscription' in removing so valuable
an officer.-P Providence J0Nndl.

WHAT CoNNEcrcvr Has DoNE.-With less
than half million of people, Connecticut has
cuuippcd and sent into the field Gnciuding two
now on their way) seven full regiments OF men.
She has also sent forward a squadron of caval-
nv. The mon are enlisted for three more regi-
ments, making ten regiments and a squadron
already accepted; and companies enough for
the Eleventh Regime, are enlisted but it is
not yet decided to organize the Eleventh. Be-
sides this, the State Of Connecticut has fur
uished to the Government, to be used by regi-
ments Of other States, four full batteries of
rihed cannon, completely fitted with all tho
necessary equipments, of the best material.
With these she has sent caissons, forges, am
munilion, James patent cannon balls, sc. She
has also furnished equipments and clothing for
four full Ohio regimtnts-th!s through our
State authorities.
New York, in proportion to hor population,
has done nothing like this. The West has not
come up to it. Massachusetts, with all her
boas,ed cncagy, has not equaled it, Rhode
Island, complimented on all hands, falls short
Of it.-LUlford Times,

The FoRTIFICAuoNs AT BALTMoRE.-In
the Washington correspondence Of the Phila
dclphia h4,,jTer we find the following: 81 mem
toned some days ago, that the Government had
issued orders for the fortifcation Of Federal
lii, Baltimore. Col. Brewerton ofthe corps of
Typographical Engineers, was here last week,
and left on Saturday with the plans for the work.
In its general appearance the work will resem-
bic Fort Ranyon, at the other end of the Long
Bridge 1t VII enclose the greater part Of the
hill The angles Of the hlstions are so arrang-
ed that the guns mounted on them can rake, by
an enGladiug fire, all the streets by which the
hill san he approached. The bastions themselv-
cs will be Of double the usual thickness. The
parapets will be soddcd, anl the outer side
have rather more than the usual slope. The
guns used in mounting the batteries will be of
heavy calibre, and mostly Of short range, no ri
fed cannon having yet been ordered, There
will also be some light howit2ers. It will be
one of the most complete Notifications in the
North.

lead us to carefully endeavor to honorably escape
ii war with England. The British press that
has hitherto been most ~zealously in the interest
of the South is now clamorous for war, and it
is quite safe to believe that the same will be
true in this country. Mr.. Vallandigham, who
is thought by many to be little better than a
traitor at heart, is the very first man in Congress
to bring forward a resolution which would shut
the door to all adjustment though the DISPOSE
ton of that resolution shows plainly that Con-
grcss will let the Cabinet and the President take
care Of the question. These little indications
point very clearly to the interest that is to DO
subserved by a war with England, and ought
certainly to be taken into account in deciding
the mere questions of expcdiency that may arise
pending this controversy. If Capt. Wilkes Is
justified by the law and practice of nations in
the seizure of the traitors Mason and Slidell, of
course the Government should stand by him
with the whole power of the Nation. If he is
not SO Justified, no false pride should be permit
ted to bring upon the Nation any new enemies.

The Late Fire at Charleston.

The recent confagration at Charleston, South
Carolina, partial accounts of which have been
furnished us from rebel sources, was evidently
very extensive and immensely destructive Of
property. The best part of the city must be in
ashes. Whether the fire was set by negroes,
does not appear clearly, though it is apparent,
from such iragmentary accounts as reach us,
that it was supposed to have been the work of
the excited and restless slave population. Ii SO,
it is doubtless one of the fruits Of the expedition
to Port Royal, bringing, as it has dono. to that
disloyal State the news and the hope Of deliy-
erance to the slaves who, notwithstanding their
kind treatment, have yet u desire for freedom,
and possibly an appetite for revenge. We shall
probably hear more from these slaves as the war
progresses. The South, to be sure, has succeeded
by its local laws in making them chattcls, but
it has not been able at the same time to beat
out Of them their human intelligence, and a
desire to right their wrongs when an opportu-
nifty is given. Egypt was sorely punished, and
finally it's armies we're swallowed up in the sea,
because it would not let its slaves 60, and it
may be possible that this " divine institution :"
Of latter days may be bringing similar plaques
upon the people who cling to it.

The VERMONT AID SOCIETY has lately been
organized for the purpose Of finding homes for
homeless orphans, and giving employment for
three hundred lady operatives in making cloth.
ing for the soldiers, snch as the Government
shall order, and in making clothing for the
New England and Canada market. They Will
also find situations for ladies who wish to do
Homework, &c. The net profits Of this Society
are to be used fer benevolent purposes. We
hope this Society will succeed, as it will do
much good. Its officers are gentlemen of known
ability. E. G. WARD, Esq, of Burlington, has
accepted the office of President and General ST.
perintendent of the Society. The Office and
rooms will probably be located at Burlington or
Montpelier. This establishment would be a fine
addition to our village.
