HILLToWN, Friday evening

Mr. G. NJ. FREEMAN, MONTPELIER, VT,
Sir: As general rule, [ do not intend to
have anything to do with witchcraft, or any
thing resembling it; but one cannot help
feeling that it must be exceedingly convent
ent to possess the power which you are said
to have of going thousand ways Il; once and
holding private interviews, simultaneously,
with ever so many different people whom it
would be next to impossible to bring together ;
and do believe that your familiar, by whose
assistance you do such wonder. though he has
been called by SO bad name ever since the days
Of Mr.. Faust, and though the first impression
that he makes is often very dark, is really an
honest and benefcent creature after all, and
worthy of our confidence and gratitude. With
this belief l have less scruple in asking you, if
in passing about the country you meet any
who are interested in the podagogic art and yet
were not present at the last meeting OF the
County Association at Northfeld, to call their
attention to the following questions which were
there discussed " 70 what extent and in what
way, should Physical Exercises be introduced
into cur Schools?" " g Is it expedient for
Washington County to establish the coming
autumn, a Teachers Institute to continue two
weeks, for the purpose of giving our Common
School Teachers q more thorough training in
the art of school teaching?" What stand
ard of qualification should the Superlntendents
of Common Schools, in the examination of
eachers, adopt?"
The first question does not demand attention
so imperatively in Vermont as in the large
cities and villages Of some other States, whose
children are generally I" more refined that
is, less robust (perhaps some of the city editors
would expect me to say robustious) than our
Green Mountain boys and girls: still it excited
considerable interest The discussion was
chiefly upon the system of physical training
advocated by DR.. bio Lewis Of Boston, in his

EXTRACT FROM THE FORTHCOMING NUMBER Oh
! THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.
Our readers will remember that brillian
article in the June number Of the At'antiI
Monthly, describing the march of the N Y
9TH Regiment to Washington Young Win
throp was the author Of it, and he purposcd
continuing his contributions to the atlantic
during the war. He accordingly sent u pa.
per for the July number, full of admirable
descriptions of Our Camp at Washington,
the closing portions Of which have now a
heart t-saddening interest. We anticipate the
publication of the new number of the maya
zine by extracting Il few paragraphs:
The time had come fer myself and regi
ment to leave it by different ways. should
been glad to stay and see my comrades
through to their departure; but there was a
Massachusetts man down at Fortress Monroe,
Butler by name, has any one heard Of him ?
and to this gentleman it chanced that 1 was
to report myself So packed my knapsack,
got my furlough, shook hands with my fel-
lows, said good bye to Camp Cameron, and
was off, two days after our months service
was done.
Under Providence, Washington owes its
safety, 1st to Gen. Butler, whose genius de-
yised the circumvcntion Of Baltimore and it's
rascal crew, and whose utter bravery execu-
ted the plan he is the Grand Yankee of this
little period Of the war. ID. To the other
Most Worshipful Grand Yankees of the Mas
sachusctts regiment who followed their leader,
as he knew they would discovered a forgotten
colony called Annapolis, and dashed in there
asking no questions. Sd. And while glad
ly yield tho first places to this General and
his men, put the Seventh in as last, but not
least, in saving the capital. Character al
ways tells. The Seventh, by good, hard,
faithful work at drill, had established its fame
as the most thorough militia regiment in cx-
istcnce. Its military and moral character
were excellent. The mere name Of the regi-
ment carried weight. 1t took the field as if
the field were ballroom There were myr-
lads eager 10 march but they had not made
ready before hand. Yes, the Seventh had its
important share in the rescue. ithout our
support, whether our leaders rendered it ca
gerly or hesitatingly, Gen. Buffers position at
would have been critical, and his
forced march to the Capital a forlorn hope
heroic, but desperate
so, honor to whom honor is due.
Here | must cut short my sorry. So
good bye to the Seventh, and thanks Tor the
fascinating month / have passed in their scci-
ETY.. In this pause Of the wal our camp life
has been to me as brilliant as a permanent
picnic.
Goodbye to Company l, and all the fine
fellows, rough and smooth, cool cid hands and
recruits verdant but ardent! Goodbye to
our Lieutenants, to whom owe much kind
ness Good-by to the Orderly, so peremptory
on parade, SO irdulgeat off, Good dye, epc-
rybody'

FRANCE AND THE SoUTH-The Western
Christian Adrocate says:
DIR. M'CL1NrocK, now in Paris, transat-
cd the Savannah speech of Vice President
Stephens, in which he argued that slavery
was the normal and safe condition of society,
and had it printed in two Of the papers of
Paris. The editors, in commenting on it,
said that it must be forgery, that no man
in his senses could promulge and defend such
doctrines. The thing was generally hooted
at by the Paris people, and it was not til DR..
M'Clintock produced proof of the genuinencss
of the document that the people sat down to a
sober perusai of the infamous teachings Of he
spoec,. This and kindred events show that
the European people are yet in darkness re-
garding the doctrines Of the Southern Confed-
cracy. When the South comes to be UNDER
stood by the civilized men Of Europe, as we
of the North understand them, there will be a
revulsion of feeling Of the most marvellous
sort

any of them joining the Southern army, like
the patriotic Southern preachers. These pat
riotic Southern preachers, did not it seems,
wait for the commands of their venerable pa
triarch Bishop Soule The Constitution of tho
Confederate States ought to so be amended as
to have an established Church South. 1t is
worthy of such honor, because it has done
more to bring about the Southern rebellion
than any other ono thing. Then, like the
Southern Contederacy, it is founded on sla

EUCHRE-ExIRAoRDINA AND EXCITING
GAME,-The Boston Herald reports that the
following extraordinary and exciting game
of euchre was recently played by old hands
at the cards. There was tremendously
large concourse of people present to witness
the contest, the spectators numbering near
y thirty millions, besides immense num-
bers of outsiders who were less interested
in the result. The stakes to be played for
were the largest ever known to be risked in
this game, and the betting was correspond
ingly heavy-the odds always being large
ly in favor of the ultimate winners:
Programme Of the Game.-South Caro-
lima and James Buchanan against Major An
derson and Gen. Scott. I
South Carolina deals and turns up ten of
spades (niggeis).
General Scott passes.
James Buchanan having the best bower,
assists South Carolina. They play, and
the old General having good hand, draws
Buchanan's best bower. takes three tricks
and thus euchres his opponents.
Major Anderson now deals and turns up
hearts.
James Buchanan passes.
Gen. Scott says he cannot assist the Major.
South Carolina passes.
Major Anderson turn down hearts relue-
family.
James Buchanan passes again.
Gen. Scott passes again.
South Carolina passes.
Major Anderson thereupon makes clubs
trumps and says he soiH play IL alone. Tie
hand is played-the Major makes march.
