world their capacity for selfgovernment they bold
to "Liberty and Union, and forever, one and in
separable."
Hon. Daniel Needham said he could occunv
but a moment at that late hour. Self-govern-
ment was the prize in the great struggle in
which our fathers took up arms To-day the
effort to preserve IL is the cause Of the great
contest in which our country is engaged. The
question is now whether man is capable of self
government. 1t seems to have been the mis-
fortune Of all nations in past time eventually
to have lost this blessing. 1t seemed at one
time as though we, also, were about to lose il.
But when the bombardment of Sumpter began.
the people awoke, left their trades and their
farms to fight and die for their country. They
have gone forth to vindicatc the great principle
doubted by the European powers-than man
is capable of sefgovernmert. History will
show that the American people have successful
ly maintained this principle. They will sustain
the flag and teach the great lesson that God de-
signed man to be free.
Judge Kellogg of Bratteboro, having taken
the chair in the absence of the Governor, was
called upon to explain story wherein fanati-
cism was charged upon the early inhabitants Of
Westminster, in accommodating an otherwise
orderly church-member, for killing bear on
Sunday. Judge Kellogg explained by saying
that the man referred to was Mr.. Wight,
who was exceedingly annoyed by the visits of
bear to his cornfcld upon Sundays-the brute
having observed the family to be strict church.

til despairing of an opportunity to meet the
thief by other means, he remained at home
from church one Sunday, secreted near the
field. Old Bruin was regular in bis visit, but
"coll lead" was his diet this time. 1t was at
once circulated through the neighborhood that
Wright had shot bear on Sunday. He was
cited to appear before the Church. the regular
steps taken, and it was thought best to excom-
municate him. On the Sabbath, when the SEN
tence of communication was to be read from
the pulpit according to the custom of the

ket and when the clergyman, in reading the
important document, had reached and was
about to pronounce his name, levclcd the piece
at him. The clergyman suspended his reading
and turning to the congregation, bandly said
"Brethren all things may be lawful for me;
but some are not erpediem."
A vote of thanks to the Band, for their ex-

ATTENTION SHARP sHooTERs!-Capt. Stree
ter, under a commission from the War Depart
ment and Governor of Vermont is now enlist
ing a company from this county and vicinity, to
be connected with the I'd Regiment of sharp
shooters under Col. Berdan. To all those who
are fitted for this peculiar seryice-having keen
eyes to detect rebels, and steady nerve where
with to take the rebellion out of them at long
range-the opportunity thus presented for en-
listment is favorable, the matter of pay ra-
tons &C., being as liberal as in any other branch
of the service. A trial of skill will be given to
all who desire, on Friday and Saturday of this
week. Recruits should report themselves at
the Captains office, at the Wesselhgft Water
Cure, where rifles will be furnished for the trial,
and all necessary, information given.

THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS.

While there is no startling or in any way de-
disiye event TO chronicle for the week now past,
feeling of confidence in the manner in which
affairs are being conducted in the various De
partments most nearly connected with the put
ting down of the rebellion, must have found
place in the public mind, from the success which
has attended the National arms in the slight
emergencies which have occurred and more
particularly perhaps from the limitations which
are given of extensive preparations for heavy
blows to be given in the immediate future. A
cautious and well supported advance of our
lines opposite Washington has been made,
meeting only such show Of resistance as has af-
forded our young General a better acquaintance
with the mettle of the troops under him, and
the determination not TO show their backs to
the enemy. In Gen. Fremont's Department a
very satisfactory state of things exists, as at
tested by the Secretary of War himself, he
having visited the Army in Missouri during the
week, with special reference to the charges
made against Fremont and in general to inves-
tigate the condition of affairs. In Western
virginia, III auulllon 10 service OF the most ac-
complished leaders and enegetic troops, the
Union cause is likely TO receive aid from the
irresistible propensity of the opposing Cen
erals to fight amongst themselves Floyd and
Wise are reported as at logger-heads, each with
plenty of faithful adherents. The affair at Pen
sacola in which Wilson's Zouaves were engaged,
is reported to us only through rebel sources;
and from the same, we have accounts Of an at
fair at the mouth of the Mississippi, involving
a disaster to our Navy. We must await official
reports of these latter, with many grains of
allowance for their apparent magnitude; and
meanwhile may reasonably anticipate hearing of
substantial success.at the South when our last
great Naval expedition shall knock at the port
or some of their proud cities, of frosty morn
ing.

COMPANY ca letter has been received
from Corporal Rice, from this place. dated
Richmond Aug. 80 The writer was wounded
and captured at Bulls Run. He describes his
situation at r. is by no means uncomfortable,
and thinks if his friends should see him they
would think he did not take his imprisonment
very hard. A musket-ba caused both wounds,
it passing entirely through the left limb about
four inches above the ankle, breaking one of
the bones, then lodging in the right limb near
the ankle The lesser wound has healed al
ready, but from the effects of the other, though
then doing well, he was obliged to hobble a
little, at the time of writing. lie says, 1--WE are

nurses, and enjoy myself much better than
one could expect to under the circumstances"

aforesaid, for the above SERVICE and has executed
bond with ample surees for the faithful execution Of
the trust -
The importance Of this appointment both IN tho nm,
and men Of the Regiments and TO tho State can
hardly be over estimated. but as It not provdod for
by law, commend It to tho favorable consideration
Of the Legislature.
The multiform and onerous duties RELATING IN tho
raising organizing and furnishing the several Reoi
ments the auditing Of bills and accounts the dsburs
ment of funds &c, imposed upon the Executive by
the acts Of the extra session. rendered it impossible
that should attend to the appointment and corre-
spondence Of Town Agents for the support Of the fam
lilies of citizen soldiers and at my request the Lieut.
Governor kindly consented to take charge of that de-
parment of the public service. BY his report which
Il herewith submitted 1t will be that the amount
drawn from the Treasury prior to October 1st Is 81,
77s22.
submit herewith copy Of Instructions prepared
by me for the observance Of the several town agents
but the experience Of the Lieut.. Governor has shown
the importance Of n more perfect system, and re-
specially commend the suggestions contained IN his
report to the consideration Of the General Assembly.
Under my directions, the Quarter Master General
has sold quantity Of Windsor Rifles belonging to the
State, Mt si3,50 each. These Rifles are n good arm,
but beng without bayonets are not adapted TO the
use of our soldiers, they have long remained practi
caly useless to the State
1t was my purpose to conlne this communication to
the history OF the past earnestly hoping that the Gov
ernor elect who is detained by Illness will, vt an
y day. be able to lay before you the appropriate bust
ness of the session therefore omit to call your at
ention to measures which, under other circumstances
| might deem important.
Gentlemen Of The Senate
and House Of Representatives.:
In retiring from the arduous duties Of the political
year now closing, desire to express through you, to
the citizens of Vermont my high appreciation Of their
confidence and patriotic cooperation, in carving into
execution the important measures required by the act
of the special session. and to You that shall
carry with into private life, sacred devotion to
the interests of the State and to the of
mon country.
YOU gentleman, are called to deliberate upon mea-
sures more important and vital to the interests Of the
State and the country. than any which have ever be-
fore occupied the attention OF the General Assembly;
requiring your patient careful and dspassionate de-
liberation.
May an all-wise Providence guide you; and may
Heavenly Father interpuse to deliver our beloved
country from its present calamity, and from the pcrs
which threaten IT, mud restore to It again the blessings
Of peace, union, and prosperity

A SHORT CRoP IN FRANCE.-The most
painful intelligence from France is the delicien-
cy of the last harvest This deficiency, it is
now ascertained, is much greater than was pre-
yiously supposed. France, it is estimated, will
be compelled to spend forty millions sterling
this year o make up the deficiency The price
of flour is rising throughout France. We
stated recently that large quantities of flour
were being shipped from Liverpool to various
ports IN France, and we now learn that sixty
millions oil francs in gold have been sent to
Russia to purchase grain. This sad disaster
will react upon the English market and will
affect more or less seriously all the grain mar
kets in the world. Happily, plenty of grain
for expectation is to be had in Russia and ON
the western shores of the Atlantic. Both Can
ada and the United States will be importing
largely into France the moment this intelligence
arrives out.-Ewopean Times, Sept. IAN.

Wilmington Fair.

Never since the organization of the Whining

there been more general preparation made, with
such fattering prospects of success as the pres
ent season. Notwithstanding the inclemency
of the weather on the day of the Fair, Tues

animals and articles as well as people there was
respectable showing of Ca tie, Garden yegeta-
bles, Roots and Grain, Household and Fancy

and the remark was often made that day, "if
