The township of Manchester is situated
in pleasant valley, strongly environed
by the Green Mountains on the east, Equi-
nox on the west, and Dorset Mountain on
the north.
Mount Equinox is one Of the grandest
and most beautiful of the New England
Mountains. Its summit, which lies within
the town, is 1906 feet above tide water,
and 29l5 feet above the village at its
base. II is the highest point in the south
ern part of the State, and has recently
been made accessible by the construction
of carriage road. From its lofty height,
as well as from Dorset Mountain. the
prospect is magnificent. On bright days,
the beholder discerns on the south and
east the monarchs of the vale,' Grey
lock in Massachusetts, Stratton Mountain,
Ascutney, and Monadnock in New Hamp.

About three .iourths OF the township is
used for agricultural purposes, the uncul-

tains. " The soil is various, primitive, di'
luvial and alluvial; the diluvial beds ot

The Huntsville correspondent Of the
Gin. Gazette Of the 18th says:
Col. Turchin. 10th Illinois, is said to
have Internationally resigned, as have
also most OF the officers of his regiment.
The 10Th is apparently too severe upon
rebels, and has too little reverence for the
apeculiar institution"
The whole 9th brigade, comprising the
10th and z4th Illinois, the 18th Ohio and
the 37th Indiana, 10 tinctured, apparently,
with this fatal hsrcsy of hatred to treason
and indifference to the interests OF slave
~ They believe that If rebel citizen
murders Union soldier it is lawful to
destroy his property, or even to deprive
him Of life. They 60 10 far as to prefer
the restoration of the American Union to
the perpetuation Of negro bondage and /
verify believe that they would carry their
insanity TO the extent of refusing to run
down and deliver over to malignant So
cessionist his runaway slave. Surely 80
dangerously unconstitutional a body
should forthwith be modified or snuffed
out.

Stirring speeches were made by Mayor

Hitchcock. DR.. Clarke, Horace Greedy,
and many other noted men; letters read
from President Lincoln, Seward, Gov.

The enthusiasm of the occasion was

Of the glorious Empire State were pledged
to maintain the war until rebellion is
crushed, and its deformed carcass buried
beyond the reach of mortal ken and the
power Of possible resurrection.
The administration of President Lin

There should be no hesitancy, no stint or
men or money, no standing s,illor looking
back until peace is restored to our distracted

victory. As President King said, 1--WE
