"rHBREBY HANGS A TALE"

Mr.. EDIToR Reports say that Gent Pat
tcrson has two sons in the rebel army; and fur-
thor, that Gen. Johnston Of the rebel army is
JIother-inl o,o to Gen. Patterson OF the nation
a. army. Is this trueP Can the above be sub
stantiatedP II so does it not furnish clue to
the late results-so unfortunate to the prestige
of the cause for which Washington offered his
life, his fortunes, and his sacred honorP Can
not social causes be made subordinate to nation
al veal and by proper discipline OF political
rule the true and permanent interest OF the ma
ton securedp NERIrAs.
We are unable to answer the leading inqui-
ries of our well.informed correspondent. Some
of our exchanges have contained statements
which if true would give an affirmative answer
to these questions. But, fortunately for the
cause Gen. Pattersons term of service has ex-
pred and he has received his discharge. So
far as he is concerned these statements are of
little account We trust that the past expert
ence of our army will be sufficient to caus,
hereafter the most rigid scrutiny of the quolifi-
cations and personal relations of every officer
to whom is as igned an important command
If we have not enough competent and reliable
men of our own let us accept the services of
some of tLe able foreign officers who ore not
only willing but DESTROYS of winning fame and
glory in the present war.

Some of our Vermont exchanges are worried
because the Governor purchased the wagons
and ambulances for the 2nd Regiment in Con-
cord y. H., rather than wait for their manu-
facture at home. lie was able, we understand,
to get them there far sooner than they could
have been made at home and he deemed dis
patchin the matter of special importance The
State of Massachusetts, purchased the wagons
used by her troops at Concord, Notwithstanding
there are many and excellent manufactures at
home. in our judgment this is rather of a
small matter to crticise.

TWO MORE REGIMENTS CALLED FOR.
STATE OF VERMONT,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
ST.. JouNSBURY, July 30, 1861.


BY anact oflhe Legislature passed April Goth
1861, the Governor was "authorized and roquir-
ed to raise, organize and muster into service Of
the State without delay, two regiments Of sold
iersi and at such time as in his discretion it may
appear necessary, four other regiments &c.
Under this provision, two regiments, being
the I'd and Sd Vt. Vos.,-haye been raised,
uniformed, armed, equipped and mustered into
the service of the United States for the term Of
three years or during the war.
The LIST Vermont Regin ent having been de
tailed from the companies composing the uni
form militia of the State, were mustered into
the service Of the United States, for three
months service, ON the ID day of May last.
This Regiment, under command of Col. J. w.
Phelps, rendered important service at Newpor,
News, Va, and during their term of enlistment
have uobly sustained the honor of the State and
the country. Their term of service will expire
early in August.
The I'd Regiment having been ordered to
Washington, participated in the disastrous bat
Tie OF the 2lst. The Sd Regiment has been

A coNGREssMAN n PRISONER.

The Hon. Alfred Ely, member Of Congress
from the Goth District, New York, was taken
prisoner by the rebels at the battle at Bulls
Ran. We do not learn that in the usual GUS
toms Of war there is any provision for the eX-
change of such prisoners. Perhaps we can Of
fer Burnett or Vallandigham, yet they will
hardly be acceptable for they are of infinitely
more use to the rebels where they are than they
ians who were at Bulls Run with them with
their eyeglasses, looking on just for the fun of
the thing, were among the first to ''maka
tracks" thus they materially helped to get up
and promote the panic. If these fellows must
be tolerated on the battle field during an en-
gagement we think that our commanding Off
GERS should be empowered to put arms in their
hands and compel them to lead forlorn hope,
A little experience of that kind and they will
keep out Of the way. AS for Congressman
to leave their legislative duties to see fight, we
hope they will get shot or captured They have
no more moral right to leave their posts and go
a sight seeing than our army officers have to
leave their commands in the heat of an engage
ment and go off on frofc or pleasure excur-
sion. When law makers sec such an example
they can hardly with propriety sit as court on
other officials guilty Of similar neglect. Let
Ely remain where he is. The verdict of the
country will be, "served him right"

DEATH OF Mrs. BRowNING.-"Death loves
a shining mark" ELIZABETH BARRETT Brow
MING, the first of living female Poets, died at
Florence on the Doth of June. She had been
an invalid all her life while for the past few
years she was in almost daily expectation of be-
ing summoned hence. She had long resided in
Italy; and while most of the time too i'll to see
company, her house formed the nucleus OF the
worth and culture of Florentnc Society. Her
heart was deeply enlisted in the struggles OF
Italy for Independence and the efforts of that
sunny land to break her formed the themes Of
some Of her noblest lyrics.
AS Poetess, she was unquesionably the first
of her age among females. Sweetness, in en-
ergy, in passionate power, some of her efforts
are unrivalled. She was moreover profound
scholar, and read the classics with almost the
facility of her native tongue. AS 4 woman, she
was beloved for her private virtues and honor
ed for her heroism.

WOODS HAIR RIsToRATIyE.--Amon all
preparations for the hair that have been intro
duced as inlalliLle, none has ever given the sat
i,faction or gained the popularity that Prof.
Woods Hair Restorative now has. His Res
torative has passed the ordeal of i1numerabls
fashionable toilets and the ladies, wherever they
have tested it, pronounce it II peerless article.
They find, where the hair is thinncd, that 1t
creates fresh growth-that it fully restores
the vegetable power Of the roots on the denu-
ded places, and causes the tibers to shoot forth
anew-that it dissolyes and removes daudrult,
prevents grayness, restores the hair to its orig
inal color when grayness has actually super
vened, gives rich lustre, imparts the softness
and reliability OF silk to The hair, and keeps it
always luXuriant, healthy and in full Nisor-N.

PENIrENT PRIsoNERs.-The day after Gen.
Mcclellan released his Secession prisoners at
Beverly, bugler of the Federal camp went out
some distance from his com .alions was fired
upon by two of the released prisoners, and in
stantly killed. One ball took of the poor bu-
gler's chin, and the other passed through his
head. lie was thus murdered by the penitent
prisoners. The military authorities of the Uni
ted States have already too many newspaper
advisers, and we have no disposition to add
ourselves to the list; but we venture to say that
it would be well, at least to tie the prisoners
up to a tree with piece of Irvine until the war
is over. They could be assured that the Irvine
meant no ofIense. A few tracts might he judic-
iously distributed among the more peniten and

SOUTHERN BRUTALITY.

The people of the South have always been
loud and persistent in claiming for themselves
the possession and practice of all that is hon
orablo and gentlemonly in all the relations OF
life. Their honor is always bright their integ
rty unimpeachable, their courteous bearing and
their puhcilious regard for social amenities have
been the staple themes of their discourse. In
contrast with this they have uniformly char
acterized the Northern people "mud-sills,
as men Of low, grovellng, mercenary minds
who would willingly forego the practice of
every virtue in their greed for gain. SO
thoroughly are they saturated with these no.
tons that their President in his messages and
their Generals in their proclamations dwell up
on the propensilies Of our people for murder,
lust and rapne.
If no other evidence to prove the utter
groundlcssness of their claims and pretences
could he obtained, we think the difference be-
tween the conduct of the fedara troops and
those of the rebels at Bulls Run, would be
sufficient to forever set the matter at rest and
convince the most obstinate and unwilling
minds We have no heart to go into the sick.

~ One of the Washington letter writers
makes the following statement:
"a Massachusetts Colonel was met in the re-
treat three miles ahead of his regiment which
he assured an inquirer was cut to peices. No
remonstrances availed to induce him to turn
back, or to wait for his men, Subsequently he
excused himself by saving that he received
un-stroke, the effects of which did not seem
however to have diminished his pace toward
Washington. a Wisconsin Colon,! behaved
but little better"
