FROM MONTPELIER.

MONTPELIER, Oct. II,
A bill Of considerable importance was inroiue-
ed in the Senate to-day. Those who feel even
Der the effort made last year to procure the pas
sage Of bankrupt law in this State. It was not
only urged by members Of the Legislature. but
by many other prominent TIE depressing
effect Of tue existing laws upon the spirit Of en-
terpse in this Statewas clearly set firth in ad
dres., and think in the report of tie Seey Of the
Board Of Education. The Law which gives no
quarter to the insolvent debtor, has long been
felt by many to be blerish upon tie
statute book Of the State. To pass bankrupt law
properly SO called, was thought by the majority
Of the Legislature at that time too great a step
to be taken al once. substitute was therefore
intro iuced, which embodied the provisions Of
sucl law as far relates to the ereditor,-pro-
viding for egual distTi5u Of the debtors
property ong his credi ors in case Of insolvency
and making it competent for his creditors to pro-
cure an order from the court Of chancery, COM
PefiiHg assignment Of his property for distribu-
ton, if be declines negects to make such as
signment for a certain number Of days af,er GER
tain attachments, dc, have been served. THIS bill
or one of the same general tenor, was introduced
to day by Senator Edmunds. It was last
year objected to bee use it afforded no re-
lief to the debtor but only had regard
to the claim Of the creditor. It makes little diff
ference TO the debtor that his property is ,gualy
divided if the law still holds h IN responsible for
the last fArthing Of his debts. That the law no~
proposed may prove step Tat shall lead to
taxing another, is the best that we can hupe tor
it. Taken by itself it has little the appearance
Of double grindstone instead Of the single one
upon which the face Of the debtor in Vermont has
hitherto been ground 1t is, however, perhaps SO
carefully guarded not to prove merely law
/ for driving men, who might otherwise weather a
financial crisis, into insolvency, and bring the
debtor more completely un6er the control Of the
/ creditor. p.

The rebel cavalry leaders are bold set of
fellows-no mistake. Their late dash across
the Potomac on Thursday night, thence out
to Chambersburgh, fifteen miles or so
north of Pennsylvania line the next day and
then their sweep east and south completely
around our armies through Gettysburgh and
New Market, and so back to and across the
Potomac at point fifty miles below where
they crossed the river, and all within forty
eight hours time-Is equal to any thing Of
the sort which has taken place since the war
broke out. 1t is not easy to see what special
object they had in view-unless it were to
start the Union forces away from the yicn-
ity Of the river in pursuit. and thus to facili-
tate some movement of Lee in Virginia. -
No doubt they knew that their intended
route wa. clear, and moving without bag
gage or supply train they might be pretty
sure to keep out of the way Of pursuers. 1t
was none the less daring movement, and
ss such more to their credit than to that of
our generals-who were not wide awake
enough to interfere with its execution.

REsIGNAIIoS OF CAPT DREW We regret
to learn that the continued Ill health Of Capt.
j. T. Drew of the p Vermont Reg't, has LED
to his offering his resignation. When lie
returned to Vermont on a short furlOugb,
after his release from the rebel prisons. it
was with the hope that the journey and the
change of air would bring again healthful
tone to MS digestive 'ys;em-then Sd eniee-
bled that it was with difficulty that he could
retain food enough on bis stomach to sustain
life. Partially recovered, he returned again
to Washington, to be again Frustrated more
severely than before. Finally, under advice
OF DR.. Allen, he went before Board OF Sur
geons, who reported his case as follows:
"ChroDic Dyspepsia, caused by lons inprisou-
meut on unwhoiesome food; time Of recovery
remote and dOuttfai; would improve better in
more northern station; and it is recommended
that be be honorsbly discharged, with permission
to repair at ones to his home"
With no prospect Of being able to do any
active duty. for an indefinite time to come,
Capt Drew felt himself constrained to ask
for a discharge, rather than remain q mere
burthen on the service. A private letter of
Hon. L. E. CHrIrESDEN. Register of the
Treasury, and now at Washington, to
friend here, speaks thus of Capt. Drew's
resignation
"Capt. Drew, acting on the advice Of several
Of our best surgeons, has resigned. His long i'm
prisopment in the South, has broken him down 50

But trust neither his friends bis State will
forget how manfully he bore that imprisonment,

THE sENTINEL'S COMMENTS on
MIR. boutwell,.

THE SENTIN ELS COMMENTS ON
MIR. BOUTWELL,.
The Se,tind treats Is readers to some
comments on Mr.. BIutwell's Washington
speech, from which we gave come extracts
few days ago.
Speaking Of the probable duration of the
war, Mr.. Boutwell, said
81 can tell you what mus, occur before it closes;
the shareholders on this continent must be exter-
minated.
On the 22i 0 this month, the first great step was
taken towards the determination OF the race Of
Shareholders by the declaration of the President Of
the Republic that 10 80 DAYS If the rebellion had
not ceased, slavery H. the seeded -tates should
cease. And when that declaration shall have been
made practical fact, as it will be, then the race
of Shareholders shall have ceased"
Mr. Boutwell, proceeded 10 say that when
slavery was ended in Virginia, within the
next ten years, quarter to halt a million of
men. from the North would pour INTO that
fertile State, who would make it what 1t
never could be "under the power of slavery,
the first State IN all its industrial resources,
not only of this continent, but Of the wor d q"
Now who wouli suppose it possible that
the determination of the race of slauehoid. r,
BY destroying ',GUery Of course when siarery
is dead, there are no Shareholders leftl, could
be taken to mean killing off the people of the
South Yet SO the Sentinel represents it.
It says:
This, then, is the object Of the war not to
subdue rebellion and restore the old Union; but
TO ,Tt'T5Isaie the people against whom are
hghting, and 10 Te-people their country with OF h,
ers who shall be sent from the North"
And it proceeds to ring the changes through
half column, on such choice phrases as
these-''killing Of all the Southern slave
holding race''-"this bloody war Of exter-
minatIOn"-"cLn We blame the people OF
the South thus threatened with eriei nliaation
if they indeed raise the back lag, and with
savage vindIctIyeness resolve to kill every
Northern 50 der who puts foot upon the
Southern soil ?''-"nOw the purpose is bold
iy announced by the party in power. that
the war is not only to su5JIgats the Southern
people, but also to e1ferminafe them ITO
rob then OF their lives''-''give their houses
and lands TO the hordes OF destroyers and
plunderers whom We send down upon
Them &c.
II the S.nfHei had iorborne to quote Mr.
BJutwell's words, and ha simp Y charged
him with devoting all the people Of the Sluth
to the bloody horrors which it imputes to his
language, some Of its most simple readers
might have be lieved it. But it has quoted
enough of Mr.. Boutwell's remarks to show
them that it has attac.ed to them mean 'ug
as different from the real one, as falsehood is
different from the truth. The imposition is
so id that he must be blockhead indeed
VINO does not detect it. We are surprised
that the Sentinel ventured on IT,
