Care for The Vermont Rows.

Mr.. EpIroR From Fort Monroe we
hear constant complaints that the brave
boys who have gone there are not well fed.
Ii this is true, no disgrace attaches to the
Legislature of Vermont, for ample provis-
ions were made for the comfort of our
troops, nor should the people of the State
be censured, for no Vermonter would with
hold a penny necessary for the comfort of
the patriotic youth who have gone there to
do battle for Freedom and Unity"
But ! am fearful that a screw is loose in
the Commissary Department which should
be attended TO. To-day, have just read
an article from w. b. Hatch of The COM
missary department in New York, address
ed TO Henry LOOMS, Esq, of Burlington.
in which he says, "The United States
Quarter Master stationed in New York will
not give me permission TO send such bulky
articles as potatoes, and il he would. do
not believe they would reach Fort Monroe
in good condition" Now Mr.. Editor, /
think here is one sligo of loose screw
Potatoes too bulky to send to our troops
and the idea too, that they would spoil be-
fore reaching therel What viii become Of
the eggs which he speaks of sending !:
and il too bulky why does he send " dried
fruits
Vermoniers are great potatoe eaters, and
they are necessary for the comfort of her
sons now at Fortress Monroe. and if the
government IS not ale tc furnish transport.
for taking them from New York City to tn
Fortress-espeeially when they have beer
donated and sent there free Of charge
would suggest that a part Of the million o
dollars appropriated by our Legislature a

cure their transport. Yours, y. Y. Z.

Mr.. Error The sitti of the May
Term of Windsor County Court, presided
over by Judge Barrett, gives this BEAUTIFUL
' Haze a lively asl ect. From various causes
thi, term will be very brief Not one civil
case has been, or will be t,ied By the jary,
parties, witnesses and lawyers, are of for
the war, and business has become of sec
ondary importance. On "Wednesday last,
nj TWO =. NJ, the court convened, AMI for
the want of business Immediately adjourn
ed over to Monday afternoon, aud then fol-
lowed general stampede of court-!olks "
The III, let of the present war excitement
is noticeable upon the amount of new eases
entered at this Term the number being
hut eighty i've, and these TO be divided
among the 40 members Of this bar, sal ing
nothing about lawyers resident in o;her
counties who do Lusi ass here. THIS num-
Der of new entities seems indeed small, and
to the lawyers mus, be discouraging when
compared to the four or fire hundred new
entries formerly made at each Term of this
County Court. For this remarkable de-
crease in litigation various reasons have
been suggested, and many of them Of much
weight. The delays and co@tlness of a
modern law suit have undoubtedly deferred
many from insttuting suits-the abundance
of money, and deposition TO arhitrate dis
putes, have settled up or otherwise ended
many suits, and ia this county, the death Of
Sol Downer has had no slight influence.
The case of State 4. Walker, an indict-
ment for burning Thos. Greenbank's Fac
tory at Gaysvill', in Summer Of 1860, was
called mp on Tuesday of this week, and was
continued at the instance of the State;
Attorney, for the reason that the attendance
of several important witnesses on the par
of the State. could not be secured at th
Term. 1t will be remembered that Wake

state Convention.

1t will be seen that the Republican State
Committee have called State Convention
to be held at Montpelier on the goth Of
June.
The call is broad, and embraces all who
are in earnest in their support of the adj
ministration in its measures TO put down re-
bellion and treason. We do not see in this
as some do. an abandonment of the repub-
lican party. On the other hand, we think
the call is no broader than similar calls
have been in years past. The Burlington
Free Press intimates that the State COM
mittee design TO sell out and trade off the
Republican party. We are not in any par
ticular secret Of the committee, but are as
sured by at least one of them, that such is
not their purpose. The Republican party
of Vermont are perfect unit in support OF
the government, and ever have been. In
fact they have been the advance guard
against secession, during the last six years,
when others around them have either been
passive or in open cooperation with the
enemies Of our government who to-day
are trying to overthrow it. AS we init
mated last week, we are ready to coop,
crate with all who are earnestly devoted ie
the interest and preservation of our gov.
csnmeni, but il must not be at the expense
of the principles we have advocated all our
life. The democratic papers, we perceive,
do not intend to give up their organization
but are exceedingly anxious that the Re
publicans should, which in this State Ger
tainly is very cool, and like the twelfth ju,
ryman who complained that the other clev
en- wouldn't agree with him.
As TO nominations, there seems to be
pretty general feeling in this latitude in ia
.vor of Hon. Frederick Holbrook of Brat
tleboro, and from our sources of informa
ton, he is more likely TO be the next 20,
ernor of Vermont than any other man
and should he be nominated, we common
him to the democratic papers of the Stat
who will then have an opportunity of pro-
ing the sincerity of some of their profe
sions, by giving him a hearty support.

f9y The violent shreks of mo party
by portion of the democratic press on ev-
cry occasion of the appointment Of some
republican to office, shows the depth, or
rather no dep h, of the patriotic feeling of
the shriekers. The republicans number
two-thirds of the population of Vermont,
and are they not entitled, even under the
mo party" cry of the late office holders, TO
at least their share of the offices If the
administration, elected by the republican
party, would only permit this little shrieking
minority TO hold all the offices, that would
calm their angry passions. at the appoint
menl of a republican to office. OF the
some 100 post offices in this congressional
district, there have been about dozen re-
movals ouly, and yet from the whining and
shrieks around US, one would suppose every
democrat holding federal office had been
swept out.

gSg A writer in the Richmond Eranui-
ner gives most pleasant description of
Hon. Justin S. Morrill,, the distinguished
representative from this as district, follows
''IIe is the very embodiment Of Yankee
character. He looks mean in every fiber
and lineament of his wretched body. Vul-
garity, conceii, cowardice, and rapacity are
stamped Enthusiastically upon his fronli>piece
He looks as if he had been brought up on
Yankee Doodle-a tune which could only
become favorite among mean and sneak
ing people, and which would inevitably
make any race so who were not so before.
In looking at Morrill,, the only matter Of
surprise TO any believer in plysiognomy is,
that he has not been imprisoned for steal
ing sixpences or selling wooden nutmegs,
instead Of being the author of the more
adroit and gigantic robbery of the famous
Morrill, tariff bill"

Siavcry-SeiiIing Itself.

The slavery question, SO far as the war
is concerned, is very manifcstly settling
itself. The decision of Gen. Butler, in re.
spect TO the slaves of the rebel Col Mallo-
ny, is significant. 1t was the same Gen.
Butler who offered TO put dawn slave in
surrection in. MAJ yland. Why does he re-
fuse TO deliver up fugitive slaves in Virgin
ia? The Generals course explains itself.
He drew the line between loyalty and re-
bellion, and OF that settled the question:
If Col. Mallory would take the oath of al
legance, he could have his slaves. If he
remained rebel, he could not have them.
Nay more Gen. Butler would promptly
set them TO work against the secesSionists.
On this rule, then, the rebels have fac
chance to lose all their slaves, precisely SC
far as the army has control over them
This is one great step against slavery; and
it is perfectly legitimate. Gen. Butler is
to do bis best against the enemy; that i.
his duty. He has discovered that capita
way of well-doing is 10 take the slaves, whC
have been helping the enemy, and put then
in way Of helping himself. The slave
who runs away from his work on rebel bat
teries to erect batteries against the rebels, i

Senator Douglas died at Chicago on
Monday, of typhoid fever. His death par
ticuarly at this time, is public calamity.
lie has filed a large space in pubic life
for the last twenty years. Always bold
and vigorous, he was most formidable an
tagonist, and a tower of strength TO lis
friends. But for the desertion of the South
who were bound on crusade of treason,
it is by no means improbable that he would
have been elected President last fall
Among his last acts at Washington, was to
call upon the President and give him his
friendly hand and counsel upon the break
ing out of the war, after the attack upon
Fort Sumter Aud up to the time of his sick
ness he has been most earnest and untir,n.
in his efforts in The present struggle for the
salvation of the country.
Mr.. Douglas was born at Brandon in this
State, and was forty-eight years Of age al
the time of his death. He leaves two chit.
dren borne him by his first wife, who dice
in 1858. In 1856, he married Miss Abel,
Cuts, young lady of much. beauty ana
many accomplishments, whom he now leave;
widow.
He has thus been most unexpectedly Gu
down, little past middle life, and at tim,
when his country seemed to need his ser
vices most.
