private residences in the country and at the
points named. One cause of disease is in
adequate supply of water and very poor
quality.

FROM EUROPE.
B9uBARDMEXT OF GAETA


The Nora Scotia arrived at Portland yes
terday with three days later news from Eu-
rope.
Advices from Italy state that the lombard
ment of Gaeta continued day and night
The Spanish Ambassador left his place at
Gaeta, on account of its being riddled with
bullets Two officers had been struck while
standing near the King The Sandman
batteries can be seen, and are evidently
ready to take part in the bombardment
The commencement of hostile operations
against Gaeta from the seaside is thought to
be at hand, as orders have been sent to the
gunboats at AncOna to- leave Immediately
for Naples, and the ships-oEwar stationed
at Genoa and Spezzia have been sent to the
same destination.
The Italian correspondent of the Times
says that the year 1861 will not perhaps
grow very old, before the French troops are
in possession Of Gaeta, and possibly Naples
itself.
Considerable quantities of provisions were
being despatched from Rome to Gaeta.
The garrison at Gaeta has been diminished
in number by the dismissal Of portion of
the royal guard, whose fidelity was doubt
full. The remaining defenders were in de-
plorable state, but their resistance could be
carried on still further for a considerable
period.
Count Cayour has the intention of reti-
ring, at least Professionally, from the Sar-
dinian Ministry.
At Liverpool the cotton market had con-
tinued advancing, clos, ng firm. and
active at the advance.

EDGAR NASH,
Recording Secretary.

Mr.. LINcoLN's CABNEr.-We have given
very little attention to the constantly shift
ing rumOIs in reference to the composition
of Mr.. Lincolns Cabinet 1t seems to be
generally agreed upon, however, that Mr.
BATES of Missouri has been offered and has
accepted, an appointment, probably to the
Department of the Interior, and that Mr..
SEWARD has been offered the Secretaryship
of State. 1t is asserted also, that Mr.
WELLEs of Connecticut has the offer of the
Postmaster Generalship. Beyond this all
appears to be mere surmise.
Since writing the above we find in the
Albany Erening Journal of last evening, an
announcement of Mr.. Stewards acceptance of
the appointment, and his consequent inten-
ton to resign his seat in the Senate, in which
by the way, doubtless, WM. NJ, EvARrs, of
New York. will be his successor. The
Journal says
There we're many reasons why Mr. Seward did
not desire the position he is to take, some of
which are OF public and some of a personal
character. But they we're over-ruled by a sense
of duty He had contributed to the election of
Mr.. Lincoln, in whose qualities Of head and heart,
and in whose fitness for the high office of President
he has full confidence and reliance. He has been
largely instrumental in bringing about that con-
dition of public affairs which adds to the respons-
bilities of the incoming Administration; and ne
did not feel at liberty to shrink from any post or
share of duty or difficulty that the crisis imposes
And after visiting homo and consulting those on
whose affection and judgment he is accustomed to
RELY, Mr. Seward accepted a trust for which, by
his knowledge, ability, industry and integrity, he
is. happily, well quaifed-a trust which, however
honored and graced by the eminent statesmen who
have preceded him. will lose nothing of its lustrs
under his auspices. And with the remark that on
no former occasion, has a President offered, or a
Secretary accepted, that Department, in a manner
more delicate and respectful to each, or more in
dependent and honorable TO both, we dismiss the
subject, not, however, without putting on record
tho prediction that President ynd Premier will so
discharge their duties amid all the difficulties that
surround them, to preserve the blessings of the
Union, and to deserve and receive the homage of
their Countrymsn.

TERRORISM AT THE sOUTU,

y private letter has been handed US, dated
New Orleans, Jan. l, from which we take
the following
Aou know 1 am abolitionist, neither black
republican. l have always been a democrat-was
Drought up one; but for sH this stand as good
chance as any one TO have outrages committed on
me IN this way: If get the ill-wlI of a south
erner, be would only have to say that he heard me
utter abolition sentiments, and l should have
short notice to leave town, and be lucky if got
of without new suit Of homcspun, made of tar
and feathers. More than this, it is dangerous to
ct the ill-will Of Hlggr, for ali he has TO do is
to say to some resident; % Massa, dat gemmen talk
abolition to me-" His word would be taken before
mine; and, without judge or jury, would have
to leave the country, and mayhap, not get farther
than the first tree at that.
What a state of society is here Moder-
alton crime, and every man at the mercy
of any wretch who may, through wantonness
ormalice, choose to bring him into suspicion.
No protection in law no security in public
opinion. \ veritable reign or terror, as

am not prepared to say but do say that
that law, like every other law in Vermont,
whenever a question arises, will receive a
fair construction. When gentlemen say
that our laws have aided in the escape of
fugitive slaves, | deny it. l do not believe
there has been one there. know that one
fellow claimed to be runaway slaYe; but he
was an impostor, and was not runaway
slave and did not even from extremists get
public sympathy for that, only for short
time. Nor has our law aided in any way
to affect or impair the fugitive slave law Of
Congress. But Mr. President, whether it
has or has not, if our law is in any way in
consistent with the provisions of the United
States Constitution, or the constitutional
laws of Congress, tell you 1t will be set
aside, whenever question arises before
court Of Vermont, as quickly as it would
before a court of the United States. So, too,
if there is anything in it which is at all in
consistent with the Constitution, or the
constitutional laws of Congress, tell you
that our board Of revision will see that it is
not kept on the statute-book- doubt of 1t.

We need add but word to the following
appeal from one of our leading citizens.
individuals and one or two societies in town
have done something this winter for the re-
lief of the starving in Kansas; but more
needs 10 be done and done at once. The gentle
man named as a receiver for contributions is
one in whom all have confidence and mono
need fear that their charities thus directed
will not reach their intended destination.
Editors of the FIRE. Press
Are there not many inGivi-
duals in this community who are willing to make
contributions for the relief of the people Of Kansas
That the settlers in that Territory suffer
ing severely, for want OF food and clothing is true
bey ond any question. Instances have occurred
where teams have travelled hundred and fifty
miles to the depots for the distribution Of provi-
sions, and have waited for weeks the arrival of
food and clothing for their wives and children who
are upon tn, verge of starvation at home.
How few Of appreciate what serious matter
it is for women and children to suffer for the want
of food to eat and clothes to wear To under
stand the force Of the appeal now made to us by
these starving people, let make the case our
own, and consider for moment what the Ian.
guage of our appeal would be, if our wives and
children were suffering those of our neighbors
in Kansas are now 10 my judgment a case is
rarely presented which commends itself to the
notice and favor of every humane person as
strongly as this.
The Western States have already responded as
we'll as they could to this call AMI have sent many
carloads of flour and provisions which the Rail
road Corporations, with commendable spirit,
have transported, either free Of charge or at the
lowest paying rates. The Express Companies will
send sums of money from the East without charge.
and arrangements have been made which will en-
sure judicious and certain distribution of every
thing that may be contributed, among the naked
and the hungry there.
Mr.. SAMUEL HUNTINGTON has been selected by
few gentlemen who have had this subject under
consideration to-day, to receive and forward any
contributions which may be made in this neigbbor-
hood, for the purpose of relieving those suffering
people, and any sums that may be given to him,
he will acknowledge from time to time through
the newspapers. 1 am sure that this notice only
requires to be brought to the attention of the peo
pie OF this community. to receive hearty and
generous response. Contributions from any of
the neighboring towns will also be thankfully re-
ceived trust that every one who believes IT to
be part of his duty out of his abundance to
"feed the hungry and clothc the naked" will not
permit this appeal to pass unheeded. Whatever is
done should be done AT ONCE. The suffering
which now exists there is probably more severe
than it has been at any time before.
