tent of the rebellion and the magnitude of tn,
contest in which we were engaged. Five hun
dred thousand troops to serve three years ol
during the war were then called for, and al
speedily as possible more than that large mum
Der were placed in the field
Subsequent events from the military occupa
ton of Maryland, the defence of Washington
and the unfortunate battle at Bull Run down
TO the re-capture of Fort Pulaski, are all fresh
in the minds of our readers When we con-
sider the state of public opinion one year since
the many ideas concerning the nature and mag
nitude of the rebellion which subseqent events
have shown to be erroneous, the totally unpre-
pared condition Of the country, the extent to
which all the departments Of public service were
filled with traitors and spies, we must all admit
that we have made commcndable progress in
the great work of maintaining the supremacy
of our national government. But much yet
remains to be done. We may yet meet with
reverses that will sorely try our faith and forth
tude, and demand of us the exercise of faith,
patience and watchfulness.
With so much on our hands it seems to us
idle to spend much time now in considering
and discussing what measures shall he taken to
restore the operations Of the general govern
ment in the rebel states when the war shall
have closed, and to dispose of the rebels and
their effects. We know not what changes vet
await us. We cannot yet calculate all the
chances that may happen, or consider all the
progress OF the war. One short year has
changed the whole aspect ofailuirs; another year
may effect still greater transitions. We have
work enough on our hands to suppress the re-
bellion, to conquer the armed opposition to our
government and our laws. Until that is
done it strikes us that the wiscst ard
safest course is to direct all our ener-
gies to this great work now in hand and
leave all questions pertaining to the future
status of the revoltcd states to be settled when
it is determined whether these questions will be
pressed upon our government for decision. An
old cook book, in a recipe for cooking a hare,
says, "First catch youi hare" We commend
this very significant and eminently proper pre-
caution of the instructor in cooking, to the
favorable consideration Of THOSE who seem more
anxious to have a voice in adjusting the ulti-
mate relations which the rebels and thei. inst-
tutions shall sustain to the general government,
than hand in determining how soon, if it all,
the rebellion shall be eradicated and we be in
position to properly consider those great mat
tiers of national concern.

A RETROsPECT-ITs LESSON

The first year of the rebellion expired on
Saturday last, the first return of the day when
treason and rebellion were formally inaugurated
by the overt act of armed resistance to the flag
and forces of our country. This was folowe !
the next day, by the surrender of Fort Sumter,
and by the uprising OF the entire North, almost
as one man, to avenge the insult 10 the symbol
of our Union. In this short year we have lived
as it were ages of history. The character,
strength and tenacity of our free elective gov
ernment were put to the test and the trial is now
progressing, and we can only trust that God
will grant our country good deliverance.
Previous to the opening act of this great
drama, which has since developed itself as a
terrible tragedy, the great question discussed
by our presses and people was whether the
general government has the power to coerce
the seeded states back to their allegiance.
Probably large majority of our people then
believed that coercion would not be necessary,
but that by patient waiting and tender treat,
ment of the iritated sensbilities of our South
ern brethren, then but recently defeated in q
sharply contested patica engagement, We
should win them back to duty and honor. The
democratic presses generally were opposed to
coercion as being both unconstitutional and i'm
polite and while the Republicans as unitedy
maintained the right to resort to it. some OF
them were willing to divide our inheritance and
to consent to final separation. During this
period the administration just come into power,
and hedged about by men in all the various de-
partments of whose opinions and sympathies
nothing definitely was known, wisely remained
reticent Will carefully feeling its way among
the quick sands and breakers.
The assault upon Fort Sumter PARTIAL,
opened the eyes of the North to their grea
danger. The talk against coercion was nearl.
silenced. The time for argument had passed
and the hour for action arrived. The Presi
dent issued his proclamation for 10000 militia
"to suppress combinations too powerful to be
suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings" to serve for three months only.
II was then believed that with but little show
of opposition the rebellion would be "squelched'
nearly as speedily as was the "Whiskey Rebel
lion" in Pennsylvania, and "Shays' Rebellion
in Massachusetts. The call of the President
met with cordial response in every Northern
State, but il was soon found that no Southern
State would furnish her quota. Then was
pressed home to our Northern people the ex-

FORT PULASKI SURRENDERED
Terrible Effects of Our Fire.

REBEL ACCOUNT OF TIE sURRENDLR.
flag Of truce from Craney Island to Fort
rcSs Monroe, on Mon lay, brought Norfolk
papers which were taken to headquarters, and
every effort made to keep the good news of the
fall of Pulaski from the representatives of the
press. The Baltimore American, however, sue
ceeded in cleaning the following-it being sed-
ulously kept from the regular reporter of the
associated press The Savannah Republican
says in substance that it learns with deep regret
that, after gallant defense against superior
guns, Fort Pulaski surrendered at o'clock of
the afternoon of the lin Corporal Law of the
Pulaski Guards, who left Fort Thunderbolt
after Puaski's flag was hauled down, brings
Intelligence of the event. The surrender was
unconditional. Seven large breaches were
made IN the south wall by the federal battery
OF light Parrot guns at Kings Landing. All
the barbette gus on that side were dismount-
ed 4; also three classmates. leaving only one gun
bearing on that point. Three balls entered the
magazine, and clean breach was made in it.
The conical balls of those Parrot guns went
clean through the walls, at nearl every fire.
Col. Olmstead telegraphed the previous eve.
ming that no human being could stand upon the
ramparts single moment, and that thousand
large shells had exploded within the fort. The
RepuJticdn gives no particulars as to the num-
Der men and officers in the fort at the time of
the surrender, but says none were killed and
but four wounded

and for parties litigant--ban TO remove the
Shire of that Coui " to some point upon the
great thoroughlares Of travel. The time is ripe
for such change,--and there is not litigant
in the County of Windham, not even in the
present shire town,-whU would not be pecuni-
arily benefited by it, by reason Of the greater
facility with which legal business could be done
at an accessible point. We can safely say that
nne-tenths of the members of the bar OF the
County and vicinity embracing those who
have occasion to do business in the County Of
Wndham,-would favor the removal of the
Shire either to Brattleboro or Bellows Falls
probably Brattleboro is the more eligible local
ity Tor the County. If the people OF W;udham
county will move in the matter, and indicate
their choice, the rest of the State will undoubt-
eddy be controlled by their wishps-Were it
not that our paper circuIates somewhat extel-
sivey in Windham County. We should regard
IL improper to thus second the suggestion of
PhGnix for removal of the County Buildings
of Wndham County.

For CoNF1sCAT1oN.-Wm II. Polk, brother
OF the late President Polk, is an unconditional
Union man, and earnestly advocates the confis-
cation of the property Of rebels as the only
way to restore Union feeling in Tennessee.
Most of the other prominent Union men in the
Southern States take the same ground. vi
all who adhere to their country these men have
the most lively sense of the length and breadth,
the height and depth of wickcdncss of the re-
bellion. We trust that their suggestions will
be acted upon, at least so far as to include the
property of all the leaders in rebellion AID of
all the officers in their army-the ovails thereof
to go to pay the expenses of the war. The
States themselves may deal with the others and
use their property to compensate loyal men for
their losses by rebel depredations.

EMANCIPATION INAUGURATED.-The Senate
bill emancipating the slaves in the District OF
Columbia has passed the House in concurrence,
by vote of SO yeas to 30 nays. Only two mem
bers from slave states voted for the bill, but OF
the thir,y-nine who voted against it twenty
two were from the free states. including Of
course such representative democrats as Wood
of New York and Valandigham of Ohio. The
bill now needs only the Presidents signature
to become operative
The passage of this bill marks the be ginning
of a new and better era in our National ex-
istence. 1t is the first coward movement" in
the pathway of progress that leads ultimately
to universal Freedom. 1t is within the men,
DRY of even young men that petitions for the
abolition of slavery in the capital of our coun-
try were scornfully kicked under the table
and those who presented were denounced as
vile fanatics, tabooed socially, and threatened
with personal violence. To such an extent did
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1862-04-17

this spirit rage that even so venerable states
man and pure patriot as John Quincy Adams
was not exempt from personal threats and in
dignities for daring to raise his voice in favor
of the sacred right of petition. But the world
moves. Brighter days have dawned at last.
The contamination so long looked and prayed
for has tronspired. The doom of slavery in
the Federal Capital is sealed.

TAX on DoGs.-Congress is doggedly patr-
otto, ard in this particular is far in advance of
the Vermont Legislature. Under the provisions
of the new tax bill dogs are to be taxed one
dollar per head for the benefit Of the Union.--
Patriotism will now be dog cheap" VIVA a
pity our lamented friend Gleed could not have
lived to see this day. His standard desire is
now fulfilled on much broader scale than his
most ardent imagination ever pictured

CONNECTICUT returns from
all parts of the State show that the victory
gained by the supporters OF Mr.. Lincon's ad-
mnistration over the Toucey -secesh democrats,
was more complete and triumphant than was at
first apprehended. Bucknghom's majority for
Governor is 5000 the Senate is unanimously
administration and the House more than three
fourths so. This election is splendid rebuke
to those men who attempt TO justify the rebels
in their treason. Disunionism is not the more
paatable when it is disguised under the name
of democracy.

NORTH CARoL1NA.-lt is quite likely that a
provisional government will he established in
North Carolina very soon. 1t is rumored that
Edward Stanley, now of California but former
ly reputable Member of Congress from North
people of San Francisco, from which place he
is to sail on the 2lst, who have long known
him, consider him the best man that could have
been selected to bring North Carolina back to
her allegiance. Edward Stanley was elected to
Congress with many other young Wings which
the political revolution OF 1910 brought into
notice. and unlike many of the others he won
for himself fame that has never since grown
dim. He is gallant and courageous man.

9TH VT. REGIMENT March 3lst, 1862.


STH VT. REGIMENT March 3lst, 1862. (
10 The Editor of tie PAGnir:
Redeening my promise to write, am able
TO let your readers know the fortunes and
whereabouts of the Sth Reg't. at this time.
Here we are, twenty-one days out of New
York and only so far toward our destined har-
Dor We have had a rough passage indeed
we were first blown off the coast far to the
Eastward Of our course nearly to the Bermuda
Islands, "Ihe ever vexed Bermouthes," and
day after day, head winds and high seas caused
a constant succession OF discomfort and dis
tressing sea sickness. Our company numbers
upward of six hundred souls-The Col, Major,
Chaplain, Quarter Master, Assistant Surgeon,
companies B, c, T., G, II, and X. But, in
spite of the many trials Of ship life in storm,
we have had not one death, nor an alarming
case Of sickness
We have fine large ship, and since the first
day out, comfortable temperature day and
night. Since entering the Gulf of Mexico the
sea has been smooth, and the climate delight
full
The men are in high Spirits having daily
drill and exercise. Yesterday, Sunday, we had
the usual Inspection in the forenoon, and in
the afternoon public worship, conducted by the
Chaplain, at which the most perfect order and
attention ruled.
We go into Key West to-day to get news,
and send letters. Upwards of one thousand
letters will no doubt leave the ship to be scat
tered over our native hills.
How much we long for news especially from
home-for we have not heard a syllable for
three weeks you may perhaps imagine.
Yours for the good Cause,
