70 this Mr. Van Buren, was opposed and the

To this Mr.. Van Buren, was opposed; and the
measure was postponed.
Defeated in the election of 1910, Mr.. Van
Buren, retired to private life. He had purchas-
Cd the property of Mr.. Van Ness, his old tutor
in his native town. to which he gave the name
OF Underwood. Hire he spent the residue Of
bis life.
The majority of the democracy of the Union
were resolved in 1874 TO submit again the
OF the American people. But the Vaccinations
of his adversaries prevailed, and Mr.. Polk was
nominated
In 1913 the divisions of the democracy of
this state resulted in double organization
and the regulars held state convention at
Utica on the 22d Of June OF which Mr.. Van
Buren was placed in nomination as an indie
pendent candidate. Subsequently convention
was held at Buffalo Of wings who were oppos-
ed to General Taylor, radical democrats and
liberty-party men, and Mr.. Van Buren was
again nominated He received more votes in
this state than General Cass but the ant-Tay-
lor wings did not give him a cordial support.
Since that time Mr. Van Buren has acted with
the democratic organization in all its meander-
ings. He supported Mr.. Pierce in 1852, Bu-
chanan in 1856 and Breckinridge in 1860 He
has however, favored vigorous prosecution Of
the present war against the rebellion.
For several years Mr. Van Buren, seldom left
home. The infrmites of age were gathering
upon him, and he had learned TO love quiet.
His days glided on like the full-orbed sun to
its setting. Surrounded by friends, books and
the ease which wealth afforded, he enjoyed with
keen zest the rural pursuits and occupations
which he had adopted.
His private life was without spot. He was a
Gutiful son, faithful husband and a devoted
father. The constancy Of his attachments and
his fidelity to his friends had passed into pro-
verb. He was skilful party manager; he
seldom made mistakes; he was master of the
springs of the human heart. His memory was
remarkable. lfhe once learned a persons fea-
lures he never forgot them. To this he owed
in no small degree his popularity.

TIE EIGHTH VERMONT REGNIENT.-From
all that we can learn some of the prominent
officers of the 9Th Vermont Regiment, at New
Orleans are quite as actively engaged in spec
ulating in sugar and molasses and in other like
transactions as in the legitimate duties of the
army. There is by no means such state of
feeling and discipline as is conducive to the
best interests of the service.
The Colonel of the Regiment has appointed
Assistant Surgeon II. H. Gillett as Surgeon
vice Dr. Gale, resigned and promoted Hospital
Steward S. II. Currier to be Assistant Surgeon.
Sergeant Major George n. Carpenter has been
appointed 1st Lieutenant Co. C, vice T.. b.

The Pacific railroad bill, as it finally passed
both houses of Congress differs materially from
the bill first presented. The list of corporators
has been made twice as large as it was origin
ally, and comprises large number of the most
active and wealthy friends of public improve
ments in the states and territories, comprising
100 names in all. The capital stock of the
company is to consist of 100000 shares Of
$1,000 EACH no individual having the right to
subscribe for more than two hundred. The first
meeting of shareholders is to be held at Chica
go, and call has already been issued for this
purpose.
Wool men estimate the clip of Ohio this year
to be about 100000 pounds, being 2,000-
600 pounds greater than the clip of last year.
OF this probably about three fourths has been
sold at prices avergng As cents leaving the
finer grades unsold. The sales of wool, with
the transportation and incidental charges, will
bring more than S7,0O0,OO0 of good currency
into the state.

DIR. MILLER.-Soon after this noted indi-
vidual left this place it was rumored that he
was arrested at Lancaster for some criminality
perpetrated "down Gelow." As some of our
friends were not a little shocked that we should
in our notice of the doctor intimate that he was
not as he should be. we have taken some pains
to trace him out 1t is due the public that his
rascalily should be more publicly exposed. 1t
appears that while this Miller was at Keene,
n. H., two sisters, young ladies from neigh
boring town, one of whom was somewhat out
of health. visited him for professional advice
He told the young lady that he could restore
her TO health and for this purpose she put
herself under his care for treatment. 1t is
sufficient for the public to know that under the
specious guse OF medical adviser this con-
summate villain accomplished her ruin When
her friends ascertained the facts an officer was
despatched for the perpetrator of this outrage.
He was overaken at Lancaster, and instead Of
spending the remainder OF his natural life in
the state prison, as he should be made to do,
he was let off by paying the sum of five hun
dred ard fifty odd dollars From our infor-
mant who has since visited the town and talk
ed with the neighbors of this greatly wronged
girl, we learn that the family is much respected
and in good standing in that section, and that
the character of the young ladies' was above
suspicion We withhold names out of consid-
Grafton for the injured parties We further
learn that this is not the only known instance
where this scoundrel has used the garb of a
physician to serve the devil in. Other nstan-
ces are coming to light and for the benefit of
those who are seeking him, we will say that
the doctor is in Boston. We think the moral
to the above story is sufficiently obvious to all.

If the soldiers of Fastah's ragged brigade
bore names as inharmonious and unpronounca-
BILE as their personal appearance was uncouth
and outandish, they were about on a par as to
their several patronymcs with some of our
Vermont soldiers. Neither Charles Dickens
nor Sylyanus Cobb, Jr., could in any one noyel
group together so many odd, fanciful and fun
ny names as the following, which we select from
the descriptive rolls of Vermont soldiers al

Send Back the Deserters!

HARRISON LANDING, Va. July 10, 1862.
The shameful deserlon of officers and men
from the ranks of their regiments, which has
been going on since the battle of Williams
burg, and which has more than decimated the
army within the last fortnight, should receive
notice at the hands of the press. The press
can do no better service to the military inter
ests of the nation than to persevere in attacking
men absent under pretense of sickness. Ro-
bust or slightly wounded officers and men are
parading the streets of cities or lettering at
home, who are absent without leave, and who
are needed here. Make it detestable for any
mar able to do duty to be away from the army.
Hold him up to the public view Let him be
shamed TO his duty.
In the recent battles and movements, hordes
of stragglers rushed to the hospital boats and
escaped from the army, while thousands, who
could not get on the hoats were only compelled
to return to the ranks of their regiments by
provost guards and by hunger. Make a resi-
derce a. home dsgraceful TO these deserters
The local police should arrest every man i'm
properly absent from his regiment.
The writer of this cannot give his name-the
communication is anonymous-but the press
can ascertain how far what is here said is true
by looking around and seeing the numbers o
returned officers and soldiers who are in every
city, in every lane, in every village of the North
If every officer and soldier fit for duty woulC
emerge from his hiding place and come to hi'
regiment the army would be much strength
ened, and the cause for which we struggle ma
teraly served.
