A NEW STATE ORGANIZATION.

The patriotic citizens of Western Virginia,
determined to have no utilization with those OF
their fellow citizens who have seeded from the
Union and have taken up arms against the fed
eral government, have recently re-organized
the State of Virginia, put in operation State
government, and elected members of both
branches of Congress. The members thus
elected were admitted to seats in the House OF
Representatives. Those elected to the Senate
have not yet presented their credentials, bat it
is believed that their claims will be recognized,
and thus the State of Virginia will have gov
eminent and a representation in sympathywith
the Union and agreeing to the means deemed
necessary to its preservation.
This action of patriotic Virgnians probably
furnishes key to the solution of our present
embarrassment in relation to the seeded and
rebellious states. just so fast and so far as the
rebels are defeated in the several States, with
the possible exception Of South Carolina, there
will be found Union men, whose mouths are
now sealed under mob rule, sufficiently numer-
Gus to assume the control of public affairs

machinery of State government and to put it
in motion. There is no good reason for believ
ing that in any one of these States there is a
majority of secessionists. Had they all been
subjected to discipline like that which has
been in force in Maryland and Missouri seces-
sionism would have been as powerless as it is
in either of those States. With the influence
of the general government in their favor and
full protection TO men who still have faith in
our federal Union it will not be difficult to re-
organize State governments which shall bring
back the recreant citizens to duty and allegi-
ance. The same process that has saved Virgin
ia to the Union will be sufficient for the other
States

CONGRESSIONAL.

Since the appointment OF the Standing Com
mittees the two Houses Of Congress have adj
dressed themselves seriously to the business of
the country. With the exception of few trail
torously disposed democrats in each branch
there is a unanimous disposition and determin-
alton to support the administration in its efforts
to suppress the rebellion, and it is made mani
fest by voting all the men and money called
for, and even more. The House have on their
part authorized the President to call out if nee,
essary 100000 volunteers and to borrow $500
100000. The members will provide all the
ways and means necessary for the purpose in
view and then hold the administration to rig
id responsibility for their proper employment.
Congress is in no disposition for temporizing
In the House, Monday, Benjamin Wood of
New York (senior partner of the well-known
Lottery firm, Wood & Eddy,) offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
ResOiced, That this Congress recommend to the
Governors OF the several States to their leg
islatures for the purpose Of calling election Of two
delegates from each Congressional district to meet in
general Convention ut Louisville on the first Monday
In September next, the purpose of said Convention
being to devise for the restoration of peace
to our country.
This resolution was Immediately tabled, 90
to 81, all the democrats voting in the negative
including many who probably would not have
supported the resolution on its merits. Among
these was John A. McClernand of Illinois, who,
probably not wishing to be misunderstood, of
fered the following which was adopted by a
vote of 12l to 81
Whereas, A portion of the people Of the United
States in violation of theit Constitutional obligations,
have taken up arms against the National Government,
and are striving, by an aggressive and nquitOus
war; to overthrow il and break up the Union; there
fore,
Resolced That this House pledges itself to vote for
any amount Of money aud any number Of men which
may be necessary to insure the speedy and electual
suppression of said Rebellion, and the permanent re-
storiton of the Federal authority everywhere within
the limits and jurisdiction Of the United States.
The Nays were Messrs Burnett and Order,
of Kentucky; Norton and Reid of Missouri !;
and Ben. Wood of the firm Of Wood Eddy,

THE WAR.-The news this week from the
character. The victories gained by Gen. Nc
ClelIan in Western Virginia have cleared that
section of the State from the nests of rebels
that has so long infested it, and have opened
his way to join the federal forces in Eastern
Virginia. The battle fought at Carthage, Mo-,
between Col Siegel and the rebels resulted in
a retreat of the federal forces which in itself
was a victory. From 5000 to 5000 rebels were
engaged by only 1900 of our troops and while
our loss was trihing the rebels confess to losing
700 men. These battles show the great supe-
riorty of regularly educated officers, and they
go far to redeem the blunders at Great Bethel
and Vienna.

choir; Prayer by the Rev. Samuel Fish, Read
ing of the Declaration of Independence by the
Rev. Mr. Emerson Address by the Rev. Am
herst Lamb of Nottingham, which is represen-
ted to have been able and patriotic.
The audience were then escorted to dinner
predared by the ladies Of that town, and the
excellence and abundance of their culinary en-
tertanment may be Judged by the fact that full
1900 people we're amply and satisfactorily fed.
Pithy and sententious toasts were read by DR..
II. Il. Johnson and heartily applauded by the
audience. The Light Guards then went through
with their drill in soldier-like and military
manner. If our government shall need more
troops from Vermont the people of Halifax feel
sure that one good company of able and patri-
otto men can be furnished from their town.

THE Contributing the past two weeks
comet has been visible in the northern part Of
the heavens in the vicinity of the "Grrat Bear"
This celestial visitor came without any letter of
introduction and without sending in the card,
consequently astronomers are all taken aback.
1t is not now known who h is nor where he
came from, nor whether he has ever visited this
country before. A week ago he crossed the
earth's orbit only day in advance of this
planetary body of ours, almost near enough for
brush but he is now retiring from our vision.
A Richmond paper proposes to call this comet
the Southern Confedracy;" whereat the Prov
idence Journal makes the following good hit
"The name might be appropriate to that body
which has the least conceivable head with the
largest conceivable tail, and is running away as
fart as possible"

lottery managers in general. Mr.. Order is the
only hearty Unionst among them, and he was
hampcred by foolish professions and pledges
while candidate.
That preamble and resolve express the deib-
crate conviction of the great body of the Amer
lean people regardless of party. Upon this
conviction they will act and from it they cannot
be driven under the guise or discipline of any
party. The gentlemen who offered it in the
House is and always has been democrat of
the straightest sect. lie has no affection for
nor affinity with Repubcanism, but, like his
gallant leader whose firm disciple he was until
that leaders voice was hushed in death, he is a
patriot.

THE UNIoN-Hon. Jefferson Davis, being
among the passengers on hoard the ship Jo-
seph Whitney, from Baltimore, bound to B st IN,
on the 4th of July, 1913, he was called upon
to make an address and complied. We give
from the report of the harangue the following
extract:
% This great country will continue united.
'rrihing politicians in the south or north or in
the west may continue to talk otherwise but it
will be of no avail. They are like the musqu-
toes around an oX-they annoy, but cannot
wound and never kill There was common
interest which runs through all the diversified
occupations and various products of these SOW
ereign States there was common sentiment
Ct nationality which beat in every bosom
there were common memories sweet to us all
and though clouds had occasionally darker ed
our political sky. The good sense and the good
feeling of the people and thus far averted any
catastrophe destructive of our Constitution and
Union. it was in fraternity and an elevation
of principle which rose superior to sectional or
individual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that the foundations
of our Union were laid and if we the present
were worthy of our ancestry, we shall not only
protect those foundation from destruction but
build higher and wider this temple Of liberty
and nscribe perpetuity upon its tablet"

Celebration at Halifax.

The 4th was duly observed in Halifax. The
citizens generally formed in procession in
front of the residence of Stephen Niles, Esq,
the President of the day, and were escorted by
the Halifax Light Guards now numbering over
one hundred rank and file, to the Congrega-
tional Church where the exercises took place as
follows:

ANOTHER STATE CONVENTION

= Another attempt is to be made to get up a
"no party" convention in this State for the pur-
pose of nominating a State ticket If this sue
ceeds some of our "no party" friends will be
likely to find candidates to their liking and for
whom they can vote without any mental reser-
yations The call for this convention is signed
by "Alfred Keith, George Woshburn, Nelson
Rand. John Cain and II. r. Follansby Dem
ocratic State Committee" These gentlemen
are the committee of that wing of the dem
ocracy known in the last Presidential Campaign
as douglas Democrats" Their call, as pub
lished in the Rutland Courier, is as follows;
"a Convention will be holden at Montpelier,
ON Wednesday the oath day of July, at ii
o'clock A. NJ, to nominate candidates for the
Offices Governor, Lieut.. Governor, and Treas

CAS- the present condition of the country
arising from the existing rebellion IN porton

We wait now with impotence to hear from

lation to this call we shall expect to see another
and perhaps a mo party" call signed by the
Breckenridge Democratic State Committee
Especially proper would it be for them now
in view of Breckinridge's open sympathies with
treason and traitors, to sign themselves as

WILLIS on LINcoLN.--The low ridicule of a
partisan press, during the last campaign, the
scurrilous caricatures in Harper's Weekly, and
the abuse of the southern papers, whose COM
monest name for the President is "the baboon
Lincoln" have given some persons the impress
sion that the President of the United States is
of boorish manners--honcst no boubt, but an
honest clolcn. Those who have met him know
well the contrary, and though lacking the cold
polish of the courts, Mr.. Lincoln has a frank
and simple dignity, thousand times better
He is gentleman, whatever else he may be-
Nobody is better qualified to criticise the man
ners and presence of dignitary, than Mr.. n.
p. Willis. Mr.. Willis writes as follows from
Washington to last weeks Home journal.
"The President of course, is not to be spoken
to except upon urgent business, in these days;
but chance gave me very pleasant exchange
of a few words with him last evening. Passing
across the interior hall of the White House,
toward the drawing-room where Mrs. Lincoln
was to be at home to a few friends without GER
emory, met the chief magistrate on his way
from the tea-room to his office. Evidently
thinking that | was in search of himself he
stopped, shook hands, and looked enquirngly;
upon which introduced myself, apologized for
the interruption, and stood back to let him
pass. But, having thus been made to know
me, he took the occasion to obviate embarrass-
ment by few apt words, and ended by most
courteousy showing me the way to Mrs. Lin
coins reception room.
With my four or five years of "court life" in
Europe, | had never seen that awkward matter
for high functionary an unexpected and brief
interview with stranger, more admirably and
winningly done. 1t twas characteristic, for there
was no ceremony about it; but while it was full
of tact toward me- it was quite as full of simple
dignity to himself. Though not courtly manner
it was what courtly manner tries to imitate-a
mien and presence too absolutely natural and
direct for Brummel to approve, but which
would have been exceedingly admired by
Wellington or a Palmerston. 1t is impossible
to look in Mr.. Lincoln's face, and hear him
speak few words without believing in him.
He looks as honest as he does tall-and he is
taller than most people-while, in the absorbant
openness of his frank eyes, and the ready intel
gence of his features and expression, there is
plenty of promise of capability"

Merrill of Felchville. DIR. Powers, John +.
Deane, A. p. Hunton, Hugh II. Henry and

were adopted with cheers:
Resolced, That the Republicans of Windsor County
reiterate their approval Of the principles adopted by
the Convention at Chicago, which nominoted Abra-
ham Lincoln for the Presidency and Just cause
for shrinking from the policy there adopted.
Rcsoired That the present is no time to sunder
political ties, or to ignore or suspend party platforms,
and that mawkish caution which we so often hear
from tender politicians "dgdHst sowing the seeds of
discord, by resolutely maintaining and icaressy ex-
pressng-as has long been custom ut party gath
crings-our distinctive and well established political
sentiments at the present important crisis in our Ma
tOna affairs is wholly ut variance with sound Re-
publicanis!n, and should meet with no findly res
ponsc from men Of sound political principles.
Rcsoired That as the incalculabc blessings long
afforded to the citizens by the Constitution and the
Laws of the National Government, are alike freely
dispensed to all, regardless of political complexion
they should amt doubtless DW, be held as dear and
maintained as lrfexibly against treason and rebellion
from whatever quarter they may come, as well by
Democrats as by Rcpubcans,-and that too, even
though party platforms are not ignored the coun-
sels of mid politicians are not implicitly obeyed
Rcsolred That we most earnestly exhort the MT
ona administration to vigorous prosecution of the
necessary measures for the speedy suppression of the
present rebellion, and for the restoration of the ma
onnl integrity, ard pledge to it most cordial sup
port
Resolred, That we are opposed TO any and every
comprom Sc with any man or Sc; of men, to propti-
ate traitors terorsts and know no arts of expedi-
cncy which are ever TO supervene between the loyal
and the disoya
Resored, That VIC are unalterabv opposed to the
amendment of the federal constitution recently pro-
posed By the American Congress or to any other al
teraio Of that sacred instrument which shall furnish
further guarantees to that sum IF all riRanies which
has long proved so fruitful Of strife, and which now
forms the very substratum of the present rebellion
