JUSTICE AND Equity The Adjutant General
of Vermont will have occasion to modify his last
order published elsewhere, respec ing the quo
tau CT the towns for the regiment OF militia, to
make it conform to the order from the War De-
partment. The State authorities should have
done this at the outset. The equity and fair
ness of the appor'ionment was apparent, besides
the explicit provision of the State law which
requires draft to De Z" so made as to make tho
number of each town, both volunteers and
drafted men, us nearly equal as practicable, in
proportion to the population of the various
towns 1t is quite inccmprchensible why any
State authorities should desire to ignore all th,
past voluntary patriotism of The people OF tb,
towns, and VIC are glad that Secretary Stanton
has, bya general order made it impossible tina
such glaring injustice should be done Hence
forward the towns that have done well may b.
assured that they will have the credit Of it.

What our Sharpshooters have Done.

We have 1t from an officer Of Burdan's regi-
ment Of ShsrpShooters, who has been in nearly
every battle on the Peninsula, that minute
reckoning has been made of sll the rebels slain
by the Sharpshooters thus far, and that the
number so slain has already reached three thou
saed. II has been a rule with those to make a
notch or scratch on some part Of their rifles Tor
every rebel they felt certain they had killed, mot
reckoning the wounded or any cases in which
there was any uncertainty. And hence the ac-
count could be, and was, made up easily and
correctly.
All can thus see how important have been
the services of this noted regiment.

Maple Sugar.

NJ. G.. Cook, Esq. Of Floyd, will
please accept our thanks for sample
of maple sugar, of his own manufac-
turc, which is very white and nice.
Elsewhere in this paper the reader
will find an article from the pen of Mr..
Cook on the subject of sugar making.
His allusion to cold leaky troughs,
and hollow Eastwood logs" will cause
a broad grin upon the faces of our
New England readers who arc accus-
toned to the use of good tight casks,
pine and cedar buckets, and in some
instances nice bright tin vessels, for
holding the sap. Floyd boasts of its
New England settlers, but if that is
their mode of making sugar, they
must have become sadly acesternised.
However, It's a matter of congratu-
lation that SO much sugar has been
made, and it is to be hoped that with
each succeeding year the process will
be improved. We learn that in other
parts of the county large quantities
Of sugar have also been made. Even
on the She'll Rock the people are vie
ing with us on the Cedar in the pro-
duction of this staple commodity. We
hear that Rev. Mr. Inman, of Marble
Rock, has made over 100 pounds, and
others in that part Of the county have
made more or less. The production
of sorghum and maple sweets here at
home is fast rendering our citizens in
dependent of the South and of the
West Indies in the matter of "swcet-
cning," and is a great saving Of mon
ey, which, heretofore, has been sent
abroad for this necessary article.
Probably three times as much sor-
ghum and imphec will be grown in
this county tho coming season as at
any former period.

For the blacks, as we have for the In
dians. 1t is essential still, in order to
abridgc the conflict of arms, and to
fratcrnize the people when that is past,
to follow Mr.. Jcffersons advice.
This most benevolent and sagacious
statesman predicted all the evils which
1T has been our misfortune to witness,
unless we should avert them by this,
the only means which, after the most
anxious thought, he could suggest.
No statesman of our day has given
the subject so much thought as he did
or possess the knowledge to treat it
so wisely. Let us, then, listen to his
counsels. BY doing so we shall es-
tablish fraternity among the work.
ing men of the white race throughout
the Union, which has never existed,
and give real freedom to the black
race, which cannot otherwise exist.
Nor is it necessary to the restoration
of harmony and prosperity to the I'm
ion that this policy should be actually
and completely put in force. 1t is
only necessary that it should be adop-
ted by the Government, and that it be
made known to the people that it is
adopted, to cxtinguish hostility in the
hearts of the masses Of the South to-
ward the people Of the North, and
secure their cooperation inputting an
end to slavery. No greater mistake
was ever made than in supposing that
the masses of the people of the South
favor slavery / have already stated
that they did not take up arms to de-
iend it, and explained the real motives
of their action. The fact that they
oppose emancipation in their midst is
tic only foundation for the contrary
opinion. But the masses of the North
arc equally opposed to it, if the four
millions of slaves are to be transport
cd to their midst. The prohibitory
laws against their coming, existing in
all the States subject to such invasion,
proves this. On the other hand, the
intense hostility which is universally
known to be felt by the non-slavchold-
ers of the South toward all negroes
expresses their real hostility to slave
ry, and it is the natural form Of ex-
preston under the circumstances.
1t needs, therefore, but the assn
rance which would be given by provi-
ding homes elsewhere, that they are
to be regarded as sojourncrs when
emancipated. as in point of fact, they
are and ever will be, to insure the CO.
operation of the non-slavcholders in
their emancipation. Nor would they
require immediate, universal, or invol-
untary transportation, or that any in
Justice whatever be done to the blacks.
The more entcrprising would soon en-
igratc, and multitudes of less energy
would follow, if such success attend
cd the pioneers as the care with the
Government should foster so impor-
1ant an object would doubtless insure );
and with such facilities, it would re-
qnirc but few generations to put the
temperate regions of America in the
exclusive occupation of the white
race, and remove the only obstacle to
u perpetual union Of the States.
With great respect, l am, your obc-
dent servant, Nj. BLAIR.

From the Literary Monitor
Chronicles.

1t came to pass in the city of Charles
on the fifth day of the fourth month,
in the second year of the reign OF
Abraham.
That an aged man whose Christian
name was John, did become very
wroth towards another aged man
whose sir-name was Brown.
Now the said John did think it his
duty to inflict public chastisement up.
on tho person of the said Brown.
Thou shalt not chastisc me Thought
the said Brown, without receiving a
full recompense for thy voluntary ser.
vices.
Now it happened that the said
Brown, who stood very erect la sol.
der, with his arms hanging by his
sides, did show bis earnestness by
the excited manner in which he
chcwed his qnid.
And it came to pass that the said
John spat in the face of the said Brown,
and also raised his boot to give force
to his argument, and to convince the
said Brown of his earnestness.
And as the said John raised his
boot towards Brown, he Brown did
raise and extend his arm towards the
said John.
And it happened that the said John
did receive a smart blow upon the

Birmingham Post.

We are indebted to John Chapman
Esq, of Ulster, for late copy of the
Birmingham (Eng.) Post, in which we
find numerous extracts from Ameri.
can papers relative to the war, and
particularly in reference to President
Lincoln's late emancipation message e.
The editor Of the Post appears to take
a deep interest in American affairs,
and is friendly to the Lincoln admin
istration. In somewhat lengthy ed
itorial the Post says:
"Mr Lincoln has not only dared to
grapple with the question Of slavery !;
but he has done so in a manner which
entirely deprivcs the shareholders of
any ground Of complaint. however
much they may still be disposed to
resistance. His message conta ms no
proposal of coniiscation, or of sudden
or violent emancipation. 1t interferes
in no degree with the sclf-government
of the individual States. 1t contem-
plates no stretch of authority on the
part of the Federal Administration
On the contrary, it proposes scheme
OF gradual emancipation dependent
upon the will of the several States
themselves, and with due provision
for compensation out of the general
taxation of the Federal Union. The
plan itself is remarkable for compre.
hensiveness combined with extreme
simplicity Of statement.
Whatever may be the ultimate fate
of the plan, whether it may be adopt
ed or rejected, it will stand upon rec
ord to the lasting credit Of Mr.. Lin
coin and his advisers. 1t will prove
to Europe that they are equal to the
difficult position in which circumst tan
ces have placed them. 1t will open a
chance of settling a contest which the
whole civilized world views with the
deepest concern. 1t will arouse in
England especially the highest degree
of sympathy with the North for we,
who have made such enormous sacri-
fees to free ourselves from the guilt
OF slavery, cannot witness without
admiration the efforts of a branch of
our own race to emulate our example. !"
