Death of Senator Douglas.

Mr.. Douglas died at Chicago on Mon
day last We can but feel sad at the loss Of
man who possessed 50 many good traits of
character and who has in so many ways
shown that Notwithstanding all his ambi-
ton to serve himself, he had q patriots
heart. We copy the following from the
Boston AtIaS s Bee -
Among the statesmen of this country
he took high rank; and as q DICTATOR he
had no superior. His public career was
varied, and he had the good fortune, in the
main, to be successful. He was man Of
excellent natural gifts, though this will
not apply in physical point of view.
Mr.. Douglas was born in Brandon Rut-
land county, Vermont, April 23d, 1918.
He was married, April z, l847, to Miss
Martha d. Martin, daughter of Col Rob
ert Martin of Rockingham county, N. G.,
by whom he had three children, two of
whom are living. She died November
20, 1856. He was again married, Janu-
airy 10, 1859, to Miss Adele Cults, a
daughter of James Madison Cults of
Washington, D. G., Second Controller of
the Treasury. The offices he successfully
held were, Attorney General of Illinois,
at the age of 22, member of the Illinois
Assembly, Register Of the land Office Zap
pointed by President Van BUREN, Secre-
tary of State, Judge Of the Supreme Court,
member of Congress from l843 for two
terms, and United States Senator from
1s47 to the present time.
He lived an active life from boyhood,
and was remarkable for industry, perse-
verance and daring. His nomination for
the Presidency, as it finally turned out
was the great misfortune of his life. Had
he received what was really his deserts at
Charleston it is quite probable that his
life would have been protracted many
years.
The rebellion at the South was source
Of irritation and indignation to Mr..
Douglas, as it is to every lover Of his
country. Like every true man he gave a
ready and ardent support to the present
administration.
Though at one time wealthy, we pre-
sumo that Mr. Douglas died with but lit
tie if any property"

sg The following has been handed to
us as partially disguised statement of
facts, We hope all such characters will
take warning:
Mr.. EDITOR: On Friday afternoon our
town was visited by party of strangers
In the evening the company moved in the
direction of Ms Ferry. There was
considerable reconnoitering, but no Skin
mishing. Saturday night direct attack
was made upon the Ferry, which resulted
in the retreat of the assaulting forces
sustaining the loss of an old harness.
The harness was subsequently retaken
Sunday afternoon the besiegers, rein
forced, returned and recommended the at
tack. TIE enemy retreated first in the
line of Elmore Pond and secondly in the
direction of the Lost Nation" We are
unable to tell how the action ended; prob
ably nobody killed, though much powder
burnt We would say to such, that it
would be much safer for them to put their
horses in the barn at the inn than to leave
them to run at large in our meadow fields.

quick brought them to the spot In short
metre, and the Colonel in the front. The
fire was soon extinguished with but little
damage. The burned portion was soon
bridged over sufficiently to allow the
passage of the troops
We marched over the bridge and pass
ed on into the village, go rods) and
turned around and came back.
We learned afterwards that they had
but few troops there, and they were mere
ly the Home Guard" They had three
cannon with them, one of which they dis
mounted and threw into the river, and
the others they took away with them and
their troops they might have made the
passage over the bridge, which is very
long and narrow, an exceedingly difficult
one
Up to this time we have not heard one
word from Vermont since we left Rutland
and it is with great anxiety, and little
patience that we watch for mail-bags as
the steamers discharge their cargoes.
The communication now between here
and New York, through Baltimore, is per-
feet, and we get mail every day.

LETTER FROM MONTPELIER.


ScIssoRs The great event of the week has
been the Inauguration of new Governor. and,
what is of more interest to PHOENIX readers, a
man from Windham county-the first from that
part of the State upon whom the mantle of
the Executive Office has ever fallen, notwith-
in rolling up large majoritcs on the dominant
side in political divisions.
FREDERICK HoLBRooK is Governor of Yer
mont, as the readers aforesaid would very nat
urally infer from the Message that was last
week laid before them. His administration
opens with the congratulations and most hearty
wishes for its success, from every man here and
from the representatives of every shade of
political belief in the State. He finds friends,
true, hearty, genuine friends on every hand.
But he needs all their friendship and all their
sympathy. Unlike the days when his predeces-
sors for half a century have been inaugurated,
the Office of Executive of this, Or of any State,
is a post of severe and protracted labor, as well
as a post Of high honor. Responsibilities of
the gravest character surround the station, and
devolye upon the man who assumes to fill it.
1t is place in which the best men will commit
mistakes and fall into errors. But the public
when they require much will also forgive much.
We trust and believe that the Gle Sc of Mr..
Holbrooks administration will show a record of
earnest and never ceasng efforts constantly di-
rected to the promotion of the honor, and rem
utation of our beloved State and the interes,s
of all of its inhabitants.
As Gov. Fairbanks retires from Office he
throws off burden that has long ceased to be
pleasant to him. The numerous and exacting
duties he has performed since the Extra Session
seems to have slightly diminished the elasticity
of his step, and the buoyancy of his feelings.
There seems to be full conviction among the
people of his integrity and patriotic endeavors
to serve the State and the country. The In
vestigations proposed are as much TO do justice
to these traits of his administration as TO sat
isfy the demands of the people. Undoubtedly
it will be found that in the required haste his
action was not at all times the most judicous,
and that in the selection of officers he was
sometimes imposed upon. But, on the whole,
he has probably done as well as any other man
in the State would or could do in like circum-
stances. His accounts are all in admirable or
