better or equal hope in this world? In our present differences, is either party without iath of being in the right? If the Almighty ruler of nations, with his eternal truth and justice, be your side of the North, or on yours of the South, that truth and justice will surely prevail by the judgment of this great tribunal, the American people,
 By the form of government under which we live, this same people have wisely given their public servants but httle power for mischief, and have, with equal wisdom, provided for the return of that little to their own hands, very short intervals While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously iniure the government in the short space of four years
 My countrymen, one and all, think calmly and well upon the whole subject; nothing valuable can be lost by taking time. II there be an object to hurry any of you, in hot haste, to step which you would never take deliberately, that object will be frustrated by taking time; but no good object can be frustrated by it. Such of you as are now dis satisfied, still have the old constitution unimpaired, and, on the sensitive point, the laws Of your own framing, under which the new administration will have immediate power, if it should so desire. to change either.
 If it were admitted that you who are dissatisfied held the right side in the dispute, there stl is no slngle good reason for precptate acton. InteliI- gence, paIiotism christianity, and firm reliance on Him who has never yet ,orsaken this favored land are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulties.
 In your hands, my dissatisfied friends and coun- trymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war-the government will not assial you You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have oath registered in heaven to destroy the government, while shall have the most solemn one to preserve, protect and defend it.
 | am 10th to close. We are not enemies, but friends; we must not be enemies; though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds oi affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretch ing from every battle field and patriots grave, tc every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus Of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

EE- The following awful sentiments are published in the Independent Democrat, the organ of Mr. Berry, the republican can date for Governor of New Hampshire;--
 "None are more sensible of the terrible evils of war than ourselves. But war is not the worst of evils. In fact though an evil, it is often the precursor of great bless ings. In the history of the world 1t has so happened that almost all great events from which have dated the progress of the race ham been baptiged in blood. The gigantic crime of human slavery in America may, in the Providence of righteous God, be waiting .for C blood baptism that shall wash it out forever. The cry of mil- lions of men and women going mp, for long years, to the throne of Eternal Justice, may be about to be answered in judgment and retribution. And to this end may madness be sent into the councils of the oppressor."
 Men entertaining such sentiments are we to look to for redress of our wrongs when we turn to the free States. Does any man think we will obtain justice from them?

LAYING OUT THEIR WORK.

The thieves and traitors of the Sunny
South have taken a nice little task on their
strong and stalwart hands,-enough to
keep themselves sufficiently occupied for the
next six months, or so, probably, if they car
ry out the programme of the Charleston
Conrier, which will be found below.
1t is something to know that the rebels
have at leagth found out that they have
much to do" and it would not be at all sur
prising to some people up this way to hear, at
no very remote period, of their willingness to
''let out the job" or such portions of it as
they may find it inconvenient to attend to,
owing to the pressure and hurry of other en-
gagement&. Hear the Courier:
But, in the mean time we have much to
do. We shall be necessitated to tctip them
So,o1dly-to burn a fer Of their to,cnS-to
capture Washington as a city, or enter it as q
heap Of ruin&-,ce wW hare TO cripple their
commerce wUh priud'eerS-Jlnm their fdct0ries
ami REFUGE them to the condition of 5eqqtnq
peace, instead of graciously condescending to
grant us a separate existence with peace, as
we have besought. Everything leads to this
opinion. They are distracted among them
selves. Their resources are crippled-theIr
toiling millions are suffering already-their
sober thinking men acknowledge that mad
ness rules their every movement and none
who view things as they are, can for mo-
ment believe that success will crown their eff
forts"

DEATH OF HON. HE. OTIS.

Hon. HARRIS j. OTIS, Mayor of Topek a,
Kansas, died in that city on the 9Th inst,
caused by fall the day previous in acciden-
tally stepping from a second story floor in, a
passage where flight of stairs had recently
been removed, in Museum Block, iniuring
his brain. A large quantity of blood came
from his ears. He was son OF the late DIR. H.
Otis, of Dandy, and about forty-fye years
Of age. He has filled many important offices
in his native town, and was a member If the
Legislature in 1849 from that town. He re-
moved from this State with his family in the
spring of 1850, and soon took pre-eminent
stand in his adopted State. The Legislature
was in session at Topeka and hearing of his
death, the House and Senate adjourned and
both branches passed resolutions to attend the
funeral on the next day. The National Flag
on the corner of Kansas Avenue ard Sixth
street was displayed at half mast
Mr.. Otis possessed bright intellect, afa-
Bile, and was respected by all who knew HIM.
He leaves many warm friends in this State
who will mourn bis death.

WHAT THE NEGROES ARE THINKING

State comprehend very well the position 0t

A prevalent opinion among them Is, that his
war is a fulflment Of the prophecy recorded
in the eleventh chapter Of Daniel They

and hasten the day of their emancipation

FROM FORT MONROE.
Correspondence of the Rutland Herald.
STEAMER ALABAMA,


STEAMER ALABAMA,
May 10, 10 o'clock, A. NJ.
DEAR HERALD:-We have just arrived
of Fort Monroe, and come to anchor, after
passage from New York of 80 hours. We
are all well and in fine spirits, excepting
few who are getting over their sea-sickness.
About one-third of our men were afflicted
with that "epidemic,', but all are in far
way for recovery.
Our Field and Staff officers have just put
eff in boat for the frigate Cumberland, to
report to the Flag officers. We shall land
in lighters in an hour or so. Every one is
busy preparing his kit.
TWAS acknowledged in New York that we
were the best set of men that had yet been
through the city. No accidents have occurred
thus far. Our fare has been poor, compared
with that we had in Rutland, and the men
long to be in camp once more, so that they
can do their own cooking. The ship is
crowded-two or three hundred lying on the
upper deck each night
The Fort as seen from our ship, is splen-
did work, and locks as if it would stand a
s;en,.. 1t has one tier of guns en- barbette,"
and one n classmates. 1t has earth works
on top, which are covered with green-sward.
In the harbor lie the Cumberland fngate
and the Monticello, with several prizes. We
were overhauled by the gun boat Yankee on
our approach, but being all right, were per-

LETTERS FOR THE VERMONT REGIMENT
In paragraph published a few days since,
we suggested the propriety of sending such
letters as are intended for our volunteers at
Fortress Monroe to the office of Gen. Bax-
ter, who would see them promptly forwarded
TO their destination. Since then, the Post
Master General has directed the Postmaster
at New York city to forward mail direct to
Fortress Monroe BY eoery transport ship which
leaves New York for that post.
Under these circumstances it will probably
be better that letters sent from any town or
part of the State, should be directed simply
L" Fortress Monroe, Virginia. and dropped
into the nearest post office, as other letters.
