\ WORD WITH THE COURIER.

We deprecate more than anything else, a
partizan controversy, at this time 1t is I'M
deniable. as it IS gratifying circumstance,
that the masses Of the people OF the Northern
State, without respect to party, are uniting
upon he measures necessary TO uphold the
authority ofthe Government and to vindicate
the avs, in the unhappy civil conflict which
is now upon us. In the spirit of concession,
and guided as we thought by patriotic i'm
pulses, we said few days ago, in reply to
an article in the Courier, calling upon US to
define our position in regard to the question
OF consolidating parties, in one grand Union
phalanx:
We have tor the time being at least, rolled
I'D and laid away the banners and badges OF
party. and unfurled the Stars and Stripes,
ana are quite ready to meet and Join hands
with all those who will stand with Us under
the folds Of that flag, and give an undivided
and sincere support to the Administration OF
President Lincoln and his Cabinet.
And we further said
We repeat that we would rejoice to see the
Whole ~NoTlheTu peopie uiI'eu' SlouiueI ~
shoulder, upon the common ground of NAM
tainlng the Constitution and the Union, nobly
forgettul of all former party animosities, and
sinking out of sight all minor and partizan
questions, until the great question of whether
our Government shall continue to exist, is
settled.
Now, We could hardly have expected such
a response as the following from the Courier
just as we expected, the editor of the
herald, who, in a speech in Mendon, last
week. said he did not want to hear the word
=. 9ariq used again until the war is over, is
the only Republican editor IN Vermont
except Mr. Benedict Of the Free Press
but who is willing to lay party on the shelf
until the war is over. Woe unto you
scribes, phariSees and hypocrites," you preach

VIRGINIA WEATHER.-From a private
letter from Vermonter at Fortress Monroe
to Gen. Hopkins of this place we extract the
following, by which it would seem that the
weather in that vicinity of country is hardly
less changeable, if any, than the Spring sea-
son in Vermont. The writer says:
The climate here is apparently very
healthy, though the weather is very change
able. We have one day hot ay-making
sun, and perhaps the next so cold and raw
rain, with wind, that we are glad to put on
our overcoats when we 90 out. The day on
which we arrived was clear and hot, and |
burnt the tip of my nose and both ears, in
spite of linen cap with cape which | pur-
chased in New York. We have hardly had
so hot day since. But in the hottest wealth
er there is fresh breeze always from over
the water, for we are on peninsula.
The writer says the country there is per-
fectly flat, and the only trees seem to be the
live-oak, which grows wherever it can find
room

THE LUDLOW COMPANY

The Voice says This Company is still
quartered in he village. The Volunteers
are drilled eight hours per day by Sergeants
Ballou, Chase and White, and are making
decided advancement in the science of war
We are informed that these Sergeants
have been in the United States Army, Bal
lou and White being at Harper's Ferry at
the time John Brown took possession Of the
Arsenal, and frightened all Virginia. They
are efficient dicipIinarians. The Volunteers
are fine body of men, above average size,
vigorous and wide awake for the sternest du-
ties that may be imposed upon them, and
when IN active service will be the first in the
fight and lastto yield to an unequal contest.
They Will prove themselves worthy of their
ancestors. y few have been found physical
inadequate to endure the rigors Of a SOL

BATES AND Bolts.

Two letter Of L. S Attorney General
Bates to John Minor Bolts OF Virginia are
published in reply to the letters of Mr.. Bolts
urging a truce and the calling Of national
convention to devise measures for peace.
Judge Bates makes an impressive statement
Of the outrageous means by which Virginia
has been forced into hostility to the govern
merit without the consent OF her people, and
saws in reply to the statements of Mr. Bolts !:
=. But it ,eetns. now that we differ so widely
in opinion upoh matters of fact. that il is i'm
possible for Us 70 reason upon the same line
Of argument. You think that the Union

ton Of the Union, in the manner aud by the
means already employed j. possible. | be-
lieye that the insane effort at national des-
truction persisted in. will involve a war

an easy death. ! think that nations ike IN
dividuals are under Gods great law Of self

lost all prestige also, and can no longer lead
the people and direct the councils Of other
states. She remembers her patriots and sages

initiate their talents and virtues, but (6y I'M
plIcit iaith) to impu;e to the present genera

In my heart pity her. Already they boast
in the South that they have transferred the
seat of war from their homes to yours. And
soon their devouring legions will be upon YOU,
to eat YOUR substance and DO YOUR voting at
the disunion election. Now mark my proph-
ecy; Unless Virginia, by rapid revolution.

FLAG RAISING Al CLAEENDoN.- \
beautiful American flag was raised at Claren-
don Flats yesterday afternoon. on a pole
which had been previously erected for the
purpose on the common in that village.
The people met at , o'clock, after which a
procession was formed in front Of the old
Brick Tavern, under the direction Of the
Marshal. Mr. 4 Newton, and headed by
band of music, marched around the square
and finally back to the speakers stand, where
the exercises Of the occasion took place.
After a few remarks from the Marshal
explanatory OF the objects of the gath
ering, the flag was raised to halfmast, in
token of sorrow for the death Of Col. Els
worth. An impressive prayer was then Of
fered by Rev. n. Clark of Ira, after which
the flag was raised to masthead by two e.
derby gentlemen-one an old line Democrat,
and the other an old line Wing. Three
hearty cheers were then given for the flag,
followed by music from the Band firing of
cannon, and a song by Glee Club, the mem
bers of which had kindly volunteered their
services for the occasion.
The assemblage was then addressed by
Horace Allen, ESQ, of Rutland, Hon. D. E.
Nicholson Of WalIingford, and Rev. n. Clark
of Ira. The speeches were eloquent and
highly appropriate to the occasion, eliciting
the most enthusiastic applause from those
present. At the close Of the speaking, the
Marshal returned thanks, on behalf of the
meeting, to the speakers, the Band, and the
Glee Club, which was responded to by three
rousing cheers on the part of the people.
Then came more music by the Band, firing
of cannon, songs, &C., the whole concluding

SINGULAR FREAK OF LIGHTNING.-Nr.
E. w. Smith, of Ludlow sends US an ac-
count of a somewhat singular freak of light
ming which "came off" at his residence at
27th. He says : As stood at the sink,
where the water is supplied from a spring by
means of lead pipe, was startled by re-
port like the firing of pistol, accompanied
by a flash which completely filled the room
with sparks, giving the appearance Of fan
tastic shower Of fire. At this instant the room
began to be deluged with water. Upon ex-
animation it appeared, the lightning had ia
ken a fancy to make visit in that direction,
coming in, as IS supposed at the open win
dow. 1t made its first appearance on the
water pipe where it is fastened to the sidk by
a wire, melting hole through the pipe it
followed the wire making a round 3-S inch
hole through an inch board lined with zinc
1t then traversed the length of the sink an!
descended into the waste pipe until it reached
a wire on which a stove-pipe is suspended
from the celling and which happened to be in
contact with the pipe, when the lightning
made another hole through thcpipe melting
off the wire, al nd then left, without further
signs of its presence. 1t is said by person
who happened to be looking at the window
of the room at the time, that the room APP
peared to be full of light blaze. 1t had
no particular effect on me, although within
foot of the explosion.

Will the editor of the Courier tell us what
he would have us do more than we have
proffered in the abova extracts from our ar
ticle one week ago, in sorder to shield our
selves from the anathema, " Woe unto you,
scribes and pharisees," &C.?
In our former article we quoted from
letter of Senator Douglas, in which he indi-
Gates purpose to remain loyal to the " Or
ganization and creed of the Democratic
party, and we respectfully asked the Courier,
if that was to be the programme of the Demo
cratic party of Vermont, or whether eschew-
ing party organization, the Democracy of
Vermont would meet the Republicans upon
/" the common and patriotic ground of main
tanning the Constitution and the Union, molly
forgettul of all former party animosities, and
sinking out of sight all minor and partIzan
questions, until the great question of whether
our Government shall continue to exist, IS
settled" To this question the Courier re-
turns no answer, or at best an eYasive one.
We ask again: will the Courier abandon the
Democratic " organization" for the purpose
of uniting in the ranks of a party which shall
have for its motto, the Constitution, he
Union, aud the enforcement of the laws ?"
