THE CONFLICT.

We are in the midst of gigantic struggle
can irrepressible Conflict" We are contend
ing for the existence of our government the
integrity of the Union and the honor of orr
National flag. We are warning against i'm
placable foes, who are terribly in earnest.
They shrink from no treachery, no cruelty or
barbarity, to accomplish their Infamous pur-
poses. They press all they can into their SER
vice, and they fight like tigers. In most of the
great battles, their forces have greatly out
numbered ours. Those they take prisoners
are often treated with great harshness and
thirty officers, whom they recently captured in
the battle near the Rapidan, they have i'm
prisoned as felons. Richmond their capital, is
not yet ours, as we have been for long time
expecting and they boast of having an over
whelming force to defend it.
The disasters we have met with, the mistakes
we have made, the evident inadequacy of our
army to meet the crisis, have at length aroused
the people and the government to sense of
our danger, and the absolute necessity of more
earnest and enegetic measures. 10 the call for
100000 more men the country is actively re-
spending. One half of these are already en-
listed the rest will soon be forthcoming. And
these are good men and true; men, who know
what they are to fight for, aud who will do their
work thoroughly. The prompt answer TO this
call has infused new ardor and courage into
those already in the service and when our
brave men have been reinforced by these fresh
levies, we shall have million of men in the
field. To give unity to the movements, and
energy to the action OF these. mighty hosts we
have an able Commander at Washington, to
whom we are looking with intense interest, be-
lieyng him TO be a man of large capacity. of
eminent ability, of great energy. and undoubted
loyalty. Under these circumstances we may
not only hope, but firmly trust, that in the flu
ture our army of the Potomac will move for
ward with majestic step to a certain, if not to
speedy triumph. We have willy, watchful,
active foe to contend with, who are familiar
with every locality of the country where both
armies operate; who have plenty of spies and
informers 10 give them notice of every move
ment contemplated by cur leaders, and we must
still expect some reverses before the contest is
ended. But We trust that Gen. Halleck can
keep his own counsel, and that he has sagacity
and ability enough to arrange and direct our
mighty forces in such way, as to overwhelm
and crush the enemy ere many weeks shall
elapse. Let every man now do his duty, and
success is ours.

The DUTIES OF AN EDIToR.-To fully APP
preciate the truth of what follows below, an
editor only need 10 be "under the weather. for
a couple of weeks, and withal striving to please
his readers. 1t is one of the hardships of the
editorial profession, that its working wheels
brains and hearts-are not allowed to flag for
sickness, or stop for calamity or sorrow. The
judge may adjourn his court the school and
workshop may close shutters, the mourner may
veil features and turn friend and stranger from
the door-but the journalist must forget before
to morrow the sorrow of to-day--must write
gaily and freshly as a newsmonger, on the trihe
of the hour, whatever burden has been laid on
that same hour, by Providence, for his heart
and brain as a man. 1t sometimes tries and
mocks-as the world that reads what is thus
written would never dream Of

Ex-Gov. Stewart is the candidate of the
emancipation party for Congress from the 9TH
district of Missouri, and is attending meetings
all over his district. 4 few days since he was
at Fillmore, in the township of Jackson, where
he addressed a large audience. The place was
formerly the hotbed OF treason, upon which
Gov. Stewart dealt his heaviest blows. He
told them if his election depended upon the
vote of single traitor he would not accept the
Certificate of election; that this war. had been
forced upon foyal men, and that loyal men
should not show mercy or clemency to those
who sympathize with treason or aid rebellion.
At the conclusion of the governors speech
karnes Laughlin took the stand, and in a few
patriotic remarks suggested that the vote be
taken on the emancipation question, so that the
sentiments of the crowd be known The vote
demonstrated that four ifths of the people were
IN favor of gradual emancipation, and not a
hand was raised endorsing the negative of the
question. There were, however, a few "neu
trails" in the house, who dill not feel interested
enough TO vote either way.

THE NEWS.

Col Corcoran is at last released. At this all
loyal men, especially Irshmen, greatly rejoice.
lie has been in the hands of the rebels more
than year, and he will have a tale to tell,
which will stir up the northern heart in a Won
derfu manner, and induce hundreds to rush to
the rescue of those who are still in "bonds.'
and help crush out this infamous rebellion as
quickly as possible. He is a noble and brave
man and will yet do good service for his adop-
ted country.
TIE Rebel General, and En- President of the
United States, Breckenridge has made an at
tack on Baton Rouge expecting with the aid of
the Ram, Arkansas, to capture it, but as that
"craft'' persisted before it could come to his re-
lief, the Gen. utterly failed in his attempt and
was repulsed by our gallant troops. The bat
tie was severe and not without loss on our side.
We learn that Gen. Williams was killed. We
are sorry to learn that Col. Roberts of the 7lh
Vt. Regiment lost his life in the encounter.
He was a noble officer and his loss will be
deeplysfelt.
General Butler has made an assessment Of
$4,000 on certain wealthy secesh of New Or
leans for the benefit OF the poor of that city.
Having come in possession of subscription
paper on which a million and a quarter was
raised for the defence Of the city by the Con-
federates, and card of the Cotton Brokers
advertising planters not to send produce to
New Orleans, in order TO induce foreign inter
vention, he assessed these worthless in raising
sums amounting 10 the sum aforesaid. This
will be good lesson for those Gentlemen,
teaching them that "the way of transgressors
is hard" Here too will be a nut for English
men to crack
The hospital transport, George Peabody, was
run into and sunk in the Potomac few days
since, and about eighty sick and wounded SOL
diers of McC.ellan's army were drowned.
Encouraging news come from every quarter
of the readiness of men to volunteer in the.
service of their country. Efforts are being
made in this State, and elsewhere, to enlist the
whole number of soldiers called for without
drafting, and with good prospect of success.
Now that the Government seem to be in earn
est, and determined to put down the rebellion
with a crushing power, our citizens are ready
to go to the scene of action, and do their duty.
Mcclellan has withdrawn all his forces, and
taken all his stores &C., from Harrison Land
ing. He evacuated the place last Saturday,
and about the same time his advance forces ar
rived at Williamsburg. 1t seems to be the
plan for him to join Pope and with their uni
ted forces to grapple with the foe and crush
him in their mighty folds. We trust they will
do it.
Beriah Magofin has resigned the govurnor-
ship of Kentucky This looks well. The
right men, men loyal to the Union will now
have rule in that State, and matters there will
soon be "all right"
We have encouraging news from North Caro-
lima. At the recent State election held there,
Johnson, was beaten by 10000 majority, and

National Freedman's Relief Association.


This Association was formed in the City of
New York last February, for The purpose of
relieving the wants and directing the labor of
the Contrabands that came into our lines when
our Fleet and Army took possession of the
Islands in the neighborhood of Port Royal.
Rev. DR.. Tying was made president of the As
ISOLATION and other officers were appointed to
aid in carrying forward the objects of the So
ciety. During the months of March and April
last seventy four men and nineteen women were
sent to Port Royal as Superintendent and
Teachers. The department of labor was under
the care of Mr.. L. Pierce, Govt Agent; that
of teaching under Rev. Mr. French, commits
stoned by the Association. The blacks were
found eager to learn, and great success atten-
ded the labors of the teachers. For time the
whole charge of the labor and the teaching Of
the negroes devolved on the Association. At
length the Government assumed the control of
the labor department; and that of instruction
alone is now in the hands of the association.
Rev. John Dudley of New Haven CT, agent
of the association, delivered very interesting
address in the Central Church in this village
last Sunday evening, giving a vivid description
of the character, condition, wants. feelings and
wishes Of the Contrabands who are left on the
plantations, and stated the purpose which the
association has in view in regard to them.
The Association now want teachers and the
means of supporting them; Also old cast off
clothes, and books of a simple and primary
character Of every description.
Mr.. Steen of this village has kindly offered
place in his store for Depot to which the
articles desired may be sent. We understand
that arrangements ale making to give the peo-
pie of this village and neighborhood an oppor-
tunity to contribute to this most worthy object,
and we hope a generous and speedy response
will be given.

Parson Brownlow's Book.

Sketches of the Rise, Progress, and Decline
of Secession; with Narritive of personal
adventures among the rebels
This much looked for and eagerly anticipa-

its Author, "The Eccentric Parson," will secure
for it ready and extensive sale. 1t is written
in the rough strong style OF its author, and will
not fail to interest the reader 1t gives an
idea of the inception and progress OF the Re

bly, the crueltes and indignites inflicted on
Union men, especially in Tennesseei and pour
trays feelingly the perils and suflerings of the
Parson himself. We are not little surprised,
after what Mr.. Brownlow has seen and expert

fused ty the spirit of slavery, that he should
still cling to the Institution, and defend it as

AN INGENIOUS INvENTIoN.-On the eve
ming of August llth, we were favored with a
call from Mr.. A. F. French of Franklin, Yer
mont, who was on his way to exhibit to Gov.
Hobrook and the State Officials an invention
of his which he called a Sworded-baH. The
body of this ball is of conical form the larg-
est end having a leaden belt around it similar
to the one around the English and Belgian
rlfied cannon ball. Lead is used as being the
only metal that is sensitive TO the groove in the
cannon. The swords are so fastened to the
ball that when driven home the blades shut up,
and when the ball issues from the cannons
mouth the rotary motion of the ball opens them
as water flies from the grindstone when in rapid
motion. The swords can be made from one to
four feet long,
For this deadly invention, we understand
Mr.. French has been offered by some cunning
southron from the rebel States, seven thousand
dollars which tempting offer Mr.. French was
too loyal to accept--preferring that the Gov
eminent should have the advantage of SO fatal
II missile as the "sword ball."-St. Adams
Messenger.

Mr.. EDITOR: In your issue of June 26th
in relation TO the celebration of the fourth of
July, find the following:
Guilford always celebrates, for that town is
and has been eminenty patriotic ever since the
day when Ethan Allen threatened to make
their land as desolate as "Sodom and Gomor-
rah" if they did not turn to their allegiance of
Vermont.
never acknowledged allegiance to the State of
Vermont nor any other power after the decla-
ration of Independence. Guiliord was organ
lied under its charter, and experienced all the
power of an Independent Republic, and had all
the officers necessary to carry on its govern
ment. Jurisdiction was claimed over the town
by both New Hampshire, and New York, but
neither Province was acknowledged by the
whole inhabitants of the town, majority of
whom favored the forming of a new state in
connection with other towns granted by Ben
ming Wentworth, Esq, the Royal Governor of
the province of New Hampshire. The people
never had assented to the authority of the gov
eminent of Vermont, but the stories" and
"Yorkers" with the assistance of their friends
in the neighboring towns, but principally from
Brattleboro got possession of the records and
proprietors papers belonging to the town and

the wings and new state men from getting pos

Gen. Sherman, in command at Memphis, has
discovered a fraud in the Provost Marshal's
Office consisting in the receipt of a bribe of
one hundred dollars by a clerk for issuing a
passport, and has promulgated an order con-
corning it. The same operation has been going
on since the city has been occupied. Persons
have bought their passports in various ways,
to aviod taking the oath. One very popular
and lucrative way of doing it has been for one
individual to take the oath ten or a dozen
times, and sell his document for Sl2, S25 or
$50, as opportunity offered.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

WAR MEETING IN THIS V1LLAGE.-A large
number of the citizens of Brattleboro assem-
bled at the Town Hall last Saturday, ?. NJ
Hon. d. Kellogg was called to the chair, who
explained the object of the meeting, ard urged
various reasons for making up the full quota of
men called for, by volunteers, rather than by
drafting.
Several other gentlemen addressed the meet
ing, and committee was appointed to solicit
subscriptions for the purpose of offering
bounty to those who should volunteer for nine
months.
