from all who heard it,-closing with dinner,
toasts and speeches, Gov Fairbanks presld-
ing. This was the attraction Of the day.
The formalities which were being perform
ed in inaugurating the General Assembly at
forded little interest, with the exception of
the canvass for secretary and assistant secre-
tary of the senate, which, for time, excited
much interest and continued through the at
ternoon session, resulting in the election of
two new men. Mr. G!eason's friends, it is
said, were disappointed, and feel that his de-
feat was an act Of injustice. "He that hives
by the sword shall die by the sword" Poli,-
ical warfare is more retribu,ive and unrelent-
ing than that Of the sword. One can more
safely trust in princes or horses-partculariy
the latter-than in ballots.
The camp bears the name Of the reputed
leader Of the House, always excepting the
gentleman from West Fairlee, who has a
troop Of friends to listen admiring!y to his
efforts, and to back him at every turn. The
supplies Of the soldiers are ample, and of the
best quality; the outfit is generally pronoun-
ced more perfect and complete than that of
an: previous regiment; and the men are as
fine looking as ever shouldered musket.-
With good officers, discipline and drill, anG
an opportunity, they will win for themselves
laurels. and for the state renown.
Legislation has not fairly commenced
The committees in the Senate were chosen
Saturday afternoon and announced in the
House Monday morning. The governor elect

A TRUE FRIEND OF OUR SOLDIERS.

NoTE.-We would be glad to know that
the picture Of the Vt. Sd was overdrawn
but We have the best assurances that it is too
true We have 10 desire to unnecessarily
harrow up the feelings" of any one; but if
we can do ANYTHING to arouse the people to
the painful fact that our soldiers are now
Tor very soon will be) suffering for some of
the comforts of which we have an abundance
and to spare, We shall do it. 1t is 4 burning
shame that the men of Vermont have appa-
renty so little care for or interest in the SOL
dlers who have gone out from Us. There
are honorable exceptions, OF whom the true
friend of our soldiers" is worthy example.
But the women have taken hold of this
work, of attending to the wants Of the SOL
diers. with will and what they can do will
be done cheertullv. Let the soldiers be
thankful for womtn-God'S best gift.

What Shall We DO with the Slave

The accompanying form of petition has
been prepared by some gentlemen in Boston
for circulation in the loyal states for sigma

goes on the principle that the slaves Of rebel
shareholders are Justly forfeited as the coAse-
Quence OF their reasonable course: while at
the same time it makes provision for the re-
enumeration Of loyal shareholders. We give
the petition below:
