Tuesday afternoon and evening, probably

want your hearty cooperation, and must
have it,-so come into our Society, and

or interest in such societies. but be patri-
otto everywhere. One caution, and we
are done,--be very carefuland not forget
your "purses." J.O.T.

dependence is added to that inheritance
from English habits, and is born with
children of both sexes, this liberty has
necessarily degenerated, just as you find
much across the ocean which in England
would press out of the ground like ten

America has shot up wildly and luxuri-
ously into a long, hard stalk, with mul-
titudiuous shoots and seeds. The eman-
cipation of young women in America is
as perfect as it we'll can be; they hardly
allow their parents the right of guardian

are allowed to receive the visits of young
gentlemen, who again introduce other
gentlemen without consultingthe parents.
The young ladies make appointments with
these gentlemen, and ask them to call

papa and mamma not be at home, or hap
pen to be engaged in another part of the
house.

CAMP GRIFFIN, Nov. 4, 1861.

DEAR FRIEND: There has been but little
change in camp for a great while, only
our long spell of nice weather terminated
in good rain-storm of twenty four hours.
The leaves are falling fast, making a
splendid carpet all over camp.
One of the boys of Co. H. died this
morning of typhoid fever; four or five
have died out of the 9TH regiment. The
9TH seems to be in low state of health.

LOOKINGS-ON AT THE WAR.
BY n. p. WILLIS.

Washington, October, 1861.
The impatient lookout for hero, at
the present crisis, doubtless makes our
new Army and its officers more closely
criticised than they would otherwise be; ;
but, while some fine fellows are only thus
more promptly and properly appreciated,
there are others. who, in taking upon
themselves notice and bright buttons
have evidently parted with an insigni6-
cance which it was pity to lose We
have had all Pennsylvania Avenue in a
laugh, to day, at an officer who came in
with one of the new regiments from the
North-a spectacle Of fat that would have
been we'll worth Darnum's while to have
exhibited as natural phenomenon, but
wallowing gravely along, upon a slow
walking horse which his oscilating bal
loon of belly covered from head to tail.
How he ever got on, how he stayed on,
and how he could possibly be got off
without platform and capstan, was the
merry problem of the hero-expectant city,
as he paraded through.
Now how did this Major Dropsy, or
Quartermaster Pursy, or Colonel Jelly
boat. or whatever his name may be, get
his commission % He was doubtless a
political pot-entate in the ncighborhood
he come from, and had influence enough
not only to get appointed but to stay
appointed, thus far-allowed to follow, all
the way to Washington, regiment that
he made ridiculous at every step--au un-
cauteriscd swelling upon a body of men
who are as naturally inclined as others tc
"cut swell'-and, where lies the mys
terry? In what consists, that is to say
the 1mericanism of it-for an American
ism it is-a diseased possibility upon oul
body polite owing to some torpid
nerve or sluggish secretion that is alto
gether republican.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
The following is an extract from an
address at the centennial celebration at
Waits6eld, on the goth of August last, by
Hon. Hampden Cults, of Brattleboro -
St. Regis is catholic village on the st.
Lawrence, in Canada, where as early as
1903, a catholic church had been built,
for which bell had been ordered from
France The vessel in which the bell had
been shipped, was captured at sea by the
English and sent into Salem in Massa-
chusetts. There the bell was sold at auc-
ton, and purchased for church at Deer
field in Massachusetts, In the meantime,
the pious catholics of st, Regis did not
lose sight of their hell, but traced it to
what doubtless seemed to them, its wicked
desccratiou at Decrfeld and the well
known expedition of the French and In
dians against that place was arranged and
directed particularly with view to rcco-
yer that bell.
The priest of St Regis, Father Nicholas
accompanied the expedition, as also did
many of his people for this whole act,
cruel, bloody and objectionable as it seems
to us, was to them religious duty, a
pious crusade in which they felt the deep.
est interest, and were actuated by the
holicst motives. The attacking force
consisted of 500 French and 100 Indians,
and was commanded by Holtel dc Roue-
vile.
This bloody attack and massacre at
DcerGeld, the particulars of which are we'll
known to you, was made in the darkness
of night on the 10Th of March, l7O4.
Our forefathers then resident there, though
taken by surprise, fought with heroic
courage and prowess; but they were over
come by numbers, and liz of them, in
cluding their minister, the Rev. John
Williams, with his wife and children,
we're : carried away into captivity"
In returning to Canada they followed
the Connecticut as far as the mouth of
White River, generally marching on its
frozen surface.
As they followed their cold and blood
stained trail, driving before them or drag
ging after them, their sad, wearied and
suffering prisoners, they also carried with
them, to grace their triumphant return,
that much valued trophy, the church, bell,
whose clear, solemn and piercing, but then
and there unwonted tones, they OCCASION
ally sent ringing through the stiffness of
the virgin forest, to the great delight of
the savage warriors, on whose ears, as on
those hills, that sound was then echoed
for the first time.
From the mouth of White River they
continued their march up that river and
down the Winooski, to what is now called
Burlington.-There they buried the bell
and left it until the opening of spring
when they returned with an ox-team and
took it to its original destination, the
church of St. Regis where it has prob
ably continued through successive gener-
: ations, to perform its sonorous and solemn
duties down to the present day.

To Whom IT MAY CoNCERN.-A gen.
tleman writes from Stanstead, Canada
East, under date Of November 3, that in
July last two men came to that place and
left roam mare about eight years old and
weighing about ten hundred pounds, since
which time they have not been seen nor
heard from. The supposition is that the
horse was stolen. especially as they would
not tell where they came from. This no.
tice is intended to aid the owner Of sto-
len horse answering to the above descrip-
tion in finding his property. The mare
may be found at Beebe Plain, Stanstead,

GENERAL Scott.

The record of Gen. Scott's services is
too fresh in the memory of the people to
make necessary more than the most hasty
recapitulation He was born on the 18th
of June, 1856, near Petersburg, Virginia.
Educated for the law, he remained in that
profession for about two years, and was
then, in 1903, appointed Captain of Ar
tillery in the army; In 1912 he was
made Lieutcnant-C Colonel; Adjutant-
ueneral, with rank of Colonel, in 1878;
Colonel in the same year; Brigadier. Gen.
eral in 1874; Brevet Major.G General, for
gallantry, in 1914; Major General and
General-in-Chicf of the army in lS4l;
Brevet Lieutenant General in 1855. .
His chief battles have been at Queens
town Hights, Fort George, Fort Erie,
Chippewa, Lundy's Lane. various engage
ments in the Black Hawk wars, Vera Cruz,
Cero Gordo, Contrcras San Antonio,
Cherubusco, Molino del Rey, Chepultepec,
Mexico. He was taken prisoner at
Queenstown, and severely wounded at
Lundy's Lane. For his services in this
battle and that of Chippewa he received
from Congress a gold medal. For his
gallantry in Mexico he was rewarded
with the thanks of Congress- especially
for the victories achieved in front Of the
City of Mexico, he received another gold
medal. The crowning honor won by him
from his country was the brevet rank Of
Lieutenant General, which was to date
from the day on which Vera Cruz was
captured.
In 1862, General Scott received the
nomination for President at the Baltimore
Whig Convention. In hrs letter accept
ing this nomination he said; al should
neither countenance nor tolerate any sedi-
ton, disorder faction or resistance to the
laws Of the Union, on any pretext, in any
part of the land and should carry into
the civil administration this one principle
of military conduct---obedience to the leg
islative and judicial department of Gov
ernment, each in its constitutional sphere" :"
He has, though his life, acted in accord
ance with this sentiment, and especially
in his views touching the present rebell-
ion he has been ever consistent. Tribune.
