LETTERS FROM THE CAPITAL
MONTPELIER, October 90, 1861.

The metropolitan village presents an i'm
pressive contrast with the tumultuous hurry
and display which attended the warike prep
aratIons in progress two weeks since. The
streets have resumed their wonted quiet, and,
were it not for the General Assembly, would
be stupidity dull
In the halls of legislation various matters
have, and are to, come before the bodies there
assembled, to exercise the profundity of their
wisdom. Foremost in the van, conducted by
their valiant MARSHAL are petitionins squad
rons of unhappy wights, anxious to change
their names and lineage, accomp panied by
prayers of the true lovers of legitimate sport
in behalf Of the fnny tribe, seeking for them
protection from the vulgar net of the seine-,
and the course brutality of the spear, that
they may be gently and artfully tempted to
bangle on the nicely bated hook of the anna
teur disciple of old heroic Isaac. Mingled with
these are the supplications Of the victims Of
crime. to have effaced the brand of infamy
from their foreheads. There too are the
sore-toed gentry, seeking relief from the
heavy pressure of the laws-what, or how,

What Papers Give Aid and Comfort to
the Kentucky EecessiOnists.

Publicus," a correspondent of the
Commercial, who lately attended the
Bourbon (Ky) Fair, after describing the
state of public feeling in that locality on
the secession question, says:
al CLEANED from several sources the
common information that there has been
great revolution in tho feelings aud
sympathies of Kentuckians, consequent
upon Major General Frcmont's proclama-
ton in Missouri. One company of men,
who had volunteered for the Union, near
Paris, disbanded on hearing Of the proc.
lamation, and over half of them con
nectcd themselves with avowed secession
companies. They affect to believe that
the war is being waged for the sole pur-
pose Of emancipating slavery throughout
the whole of the Southern States. The
more intelligent contraversalists are as
well stocked with extracts from Northern
papers, such as the New York Tribune,
Times, World and independent, which they
offer in justification of their fears. One
even produced copy of the Cincinnati
DAILY Press, which contained piece Of
poetry entitled THE Coming Man. the
tone of which was eulogistic of Fremont,
as being the head and front of the crusade
against slavery"
We copy the above for the purpose of
showing the kind of Northern papers that
the Kentucky secessionists quote for the
purpose of strengthening their cause
Teey are tho New York Tribune, New
York WorH and New York Independent.
Such Journals furnish them the ammuni-
ton they desire to destroy the Union sen
timent with They are all leading Re
publican papers of the Abolition stamp.

A HEAVY LoAp-over fifty million

a HEAVY LoAD.--Over fifty million
feet of lumber, worth on an average IS
per M. feet, must be carried through the
coming winter by parties on the Saginaw
river, owing to the want Of market and
the difficulty Of obtaining freights at
living figures. Thus four hundred thou
sand dollars of the staple article from
which we must realize currency for the
transaction o: business is effectually tied
up for at least six months to come. A
very large proportion of this lumber is
owned by parties here, who have received
no advances upon it, but who are now
necessitated to carry it over to another
seasons operations, be their exigencies
ever SO pressing. The time has been
when such state of facts would have
sent every resident operator on the river
to the wall, but there is goodly amount
of backbone" among the numbering
fraternity mere at present, and there il
every probability that their day Of tribu
lation is drawing to close more rapidly
even, than the most sanguine had hoped
The business has fairly "touchod bottom
this season, and cannot fail to improve il
the future.

citizen by the constitution, must be pre-
served in all its integrity, and any abuse
thereof punished by ''dnc process Of law, ?
and not by mob violence.
9Th. That we look upon the snuncia-
ton Of the doctrine by different ecclesi-
astical bodies as well as by many of the
presses throughout the Northern States,
both religious and political, some of which
receive'large support from the Govern
ment, "tbat the i0ar must be prosecuted until
slaray Is abolished n all tho Soaihera
States" as fraught with incalculable mis-
chief, inasmuch as il must inevitably whore
closely unite the people of the South,
while it moro widely sunders those of the
North.
9th. That we as neighbors and towns
men of Thomas g. Etchels, extend to him
and his family our sympathy in their
present trouble, and while we cheerfully
bear testimony to their good standing as
citizens as well as TO their strict integrity
and kindness of heart, as ncighbors we
give them the assurance that should they
be molested again the "grand hailing
sign of diatross" win be promptly and le-
gally answered.
9TH. That we respectfully call upon the
proper officers of the county to use due
diligence in bringing all concerned in tho
outrage to justice, in order that Others
may be deferred from the commission OF
similar crime, and peace and harmony re-
stored in our community.

EE Some idea, says the Quebec
Chronicle, might DO formed of-the amount
of munitions of war landed from the
city Of Hamilton, John BaN, and other
vessels, by the vast quantities passing
through The streets, from the wharves to
the military stores, every day last week.
Carts heavily laden with guns, gun-car-
riages, shot and shell of all Dimensions,
and other stores, passed repassed from
morning to night, calculated to impress

- Every day we have to record acts
of theft, robbery, and all sorts of depre-
tation, committed by marauding bands
from across the Tennessee line, and by
predatory companies from Bucxner's and
Zollicollers camps, and bysregular and
irregular secession squads organizing
themselves for plumber in different neigh
borhoods.
The case of the sudden incursion Of a
hundred mounted Tennesseans into Al.
bany near the Cumberland river aud the
seizure of the guns, the goods, and the
gold of the quiet citizens, was but spe-
cmen Of what is done daily in scores of
places by bands acting under regular
Confederate authority and led on by Off
GERS with Confederate commissions in
their pockets. Good citizens of all kinds
Of opinions have been accustomed TO
hope, that, if there must be war, it would
at least be conducted upon the high and
honorable principles recognized among
civilized nations. They know, that a

For the lansing State Republican.

Hill, Ingham county, to take into consid.
Grafton the riotous outrage committed in
our midst, the meeting was organized by
electing ii. b. HAwLEY, Esq, Chairman,
and Il. ANGEL, Secretary.
The following preamble and resolu.
tons were offered by,F. S. Fitch, and,
after remarks by different gentlemen
present, were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, On tho night of tho Goth OF
September last, there was committed by
a lawless mob most foul and diabolical
outrage on the person of Thomas G.
Etchels, Esq, of this township, by in.
weighing him from his house at midnight
by pushing him down, choking, kicking,
and otherwise maltrcating him, by put.
ting a rope around his neck and iragging
him thereby for several rods on the
ground, and then hanging him ten OF
twelve times, until all consciousness was
gone, deserves aud elieits our most un-
qualified disapprobation and condemna-
ton; be it therefore
Lto0OtVcU, lSI' Il uhL we, as laW-aOluln z
citizens, will do all in our power to bring
the perpetrators of this unprecedented
breach of law and order 10 public justice
I'd. That we hold that erery citizen is
bound TO support and abide by all the
laws of the land, it is the right of al
under the constitution to to use all lawful
means to work out tho. repeal or modif
cation of any law.

Of tho Legitimate o.springs of the polit
ical immortality and fsnaticism so alarm
ingly prevalent in tho country, and il
ought to unite all conservative men with
out distinction of party in an honest effort
at reformation.
