The War.

Just at the present time, there appears to
be lull in the war storm, that has been so
rapidly and frowningly gathering upon our
political horizon. The South has been most
evidently disappointed in the prompt and dc.
6ant attitude of the North. The sympathies
Of Maryland and Virginia are with the South,
but as they see that the scathing thunderbolts
of the thickening contest must fall in fright
full ruin upon themselves, they seem to pause
on the brink Of the gulf that frowns before
them. They now talk about an armed neu-
II alEly, and the mediation Of foreign pow
ers We fear compromise with treason
and Slavery more than the results Of civil
war. II the Border States are for the Gov
ernment let them show it by works that at
test a genuine repentance. Let them join
the Government in vigorous effort to sur
press treason and hang the traitors. We
trust our Government will not forget that the
blood of murdered victims calls for vengeance
on the Rebels. Let there be no compromise
with them until they strike their flag, and
submit to the authority and terms of the
General Government that they have had the
impudence to defy and insult. We are glad
that our Government is developing a strength
that causes the traitors to trcmble and let
them now use this power to purpose, for
forbearance has been exercised towards the
Rebels until it ceases to be virtue.-MeS-
en0cr.

Vermont Conference Reports.
The following reports were adopted at the
recent session OF our Conference:

The following reports were adopted at the
recent session OF our Conference:
RtPoRT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SLAVERY.
ReSolyed That VIC see no cause to recede
from our former position on the Slavery ques-
step, whe her in Church or State, affords ad.
ditional evidence of the truth expressed by
Mr.. Wes'ey, when h. called it " The sum of
all vilainies."
Reso utd, That while we regret the failure
of our General Conference to change the
" General Rule" We heartily approve of the
adoption of the new chapter, which we re-
ceive as on explanation Of the General Rule.
Your Committee having read with care the
the action Of the late General Conference,
have failed to see the force Of its arguments,
or the legitimacy Of is conclusions. Also
having read and considered the request OF
the East Baltimore Conference for the call
of special session of tho Genera! Confer.
ence, do not concur in the call.
M. WHITE, Chairman.
S. GARDNER, Secretary.
Report of the Committee on Temperance.
1t is with feelings Of deep regret, that we
are compelled to acknowledge that the cause
of Temperance in our State, is apparently on
the decline, in view of which, we would call
attention 10 the following facts:
l. Moral suasion is the most efficient
means for checking the progress of intemper-
ance
2. The friends of Temperance do not exert
themselves as earnestly in the use OF moral
suasion, as formerly
3. One great reason for this neglect, is the
delusive idea that prohihitory law, is in it.
self sufficient to accomplish the desired re-
form.
4. Prohibitory law has not accomplished
as much in surpressing iutemperance, as its
friends fondly anticipated.
5; This is not owing so much to detective
ness in the law, as neglect of duty, on the
part of its protessed friends.
In view of these facts, we would recon
mend The passage of the following resou-
tions
ResolUcd, That while we pledge our hearty
support to the present plan of legal suasion,
recorded in our Statutes, we will not cease
our pcrsevering efforts in the line of moral
suasion TO prevent the spread Of intempersnce
Resoloed, That we consider it highly i'm
portant that tie liquors kept by our agents,
Tor the purposes presented by law, should be
unadulterated.

Northern Courage.

A letter from an officer in the Pittsffeld
Company, under Capt Fl. s. Briggsmentions
an incident which illustrates the spirit and
courage which animate the members of that
company. Speaking of the duty assigned to
his company OF taking possession Of the ferry
boat, which it was supposed was in the hands
of the secessionists at Havre de Grace, he
says.
1--WE in fact had pretty fair test of our
pluck, in tho opportunity we had of coo ly
contemplating all the dangers Of an assault
with the bayonet. There never was more
enthusiastic response than in the shout Of as
sent which the men gave WHEN, after fully
stating to them the nature and danger Of the
undertaking, Capt. Briggs asked them if they
would stand by and follow him. One Incl.
dent | must detail. Before reaching the
place, Capt. B. tod the men that he proposed
to lead them, bayonet in hand as did Lieut..
Richardson also and that it would be necessa
ry for them TO take two OF the muskets from
the privates, Of course relieving the privates
thus disarmed firm any participation in the
enterprise. Capt. Brigg asked some one to
hand him a gun-not one was offered. He
turned to a fair faced youth OF 10 and told
him he would take his gun, as it was left for
him to select He withdrew his gun as the
Captain reached for it, and burst into tears,
clingiaag to it with the devotion of Ueteran,
and pleaded with his superior officer not to
deprive him of participating in the SERVICE
His conduct was as noble and heroic as tho
the enterprise had been carried into execution,
and he had met the fate Of forlorn hope
His name is Richard Powers.
We were agreeabIy disappointed in being
allowed to take peaceable possession Of the
steamer, the rebels having retreated.

The following incident in connection with
the removal of U. s. arms and munitions Of
war from the st. Louis Arsenal by Capt.
Stokes, of Chicago, on the steamer City of
Alton is related by the Chicago Tribune:
When the whole were on board, about two
o'clock Friday morning, the order was given
by the captain of the steamer to cast off.
Judge Of the CONSERVATION Of all hands,
when it was found that she would not move.
The arms had been piled in great quantities
around the engines, to protect them against
the battery on the evee, and the great weight
had fastened tue bows firmly on rock,
which was tearing hole through the bottom
at every turn of the wheels. A man Of less
nerve tnan Capt Stokes would have gone
crazy on the spot. He called the arsenal men
on board and then commenced moving the
boxes to the stern. Fortunately when about
two hundred boxes had been shifted, the boat
fell from the Shore and Aoated in deep water.

The Moss Rose.
Ihe Angel who sprinkled the dew Oh the flowers,
Fell asleep ON beautiful morning in June,
Neath the shade OF rose tree SO fragrant and cool
And his sleep was SO quiet he slept until noon.
Awaking, he said, &C Q thou beautiful thing
know not thy name but no flower In our heaven
has an odor more sweet and what e'er thou wilt ask
will give, in return for the joy thou hast givenn
With new grace adorn me !" the blushing rose said
And her petals shook perfume around her in showers
When, 10 without lessening her beauty OF form,
He clothed with soft the bright queen of the flowers

Like the vesture of moss which the angel threw o'er
