DISTRESSING affair a Boy FROZEN TO
DEATH.-A shocking affair occurred in
Enosburg last week. As the story comes to
US, party. mainly composed Of French,
were carousing on New Years night at the
house Of family named Ordway, in a rough
portion Of the Town. The candles giving
ou', little boy of the family about ten
years old, was sent to neIghbOr's three
quarters Of mile distant. to get some more,
and in rider to &c tify him against the gale,
hewas dOsed with half lumber Of whiskey,
before starting. The liquor doubtless stupi-
fed the lad; he wandered from the path,
and persisted in the snow, while the re7elers
kept on their frOlic till morning, when the
disappearance of the boy becoming known
TO the nelghbOrs, search was made end his
body found.

TIE surrender OF Mason and Sliell Is
sore affection to Ssossaa. They counted
upon war between Great Britain and the
United States as a sure thing. and with that
they believed the success Of the rebel cause
certain. Under the disappointment they
console themselves with dilating on the dis
grace which they sly tts United States
government has fall INTO BY the surrender
1t is surprising how sensitive they have
become, all at once, for the honor of the
government they are rebelling against. One
or two extracts will sufise
lFrom the Richmond Examiner Of Jan. Al
The year closed under gloomy ousp,ees
nth check al DrGinSriAe, and rlf7Ored
disaster IN Missouri. The year which YES.
terday began has opened with evil tidinrs.
We fear that there IS no doubt of the fact
that the Northern [ Mon has consented to
the surrender of Mason and Slidell; aud with
that event all hope of an immediate alliance
between the Southern cOniederacy and Great
Britain must cease.
Under other circumstances we might de
rive consolation for the loss by considering
the inefaceable disgrace that falls on the
enemy. Never, since the humiliation of the
DOge and Senate Of Genoa before the foot
stool of Louis XIV, has any nation con-
scented TO a degradation 50 deep. The init
ed States has lost no character by an exhibi-
ton OF poltroonery as vet unknown in the
diplomacy Of other nations. That country
had already sunken beneath the reach Of
iniamy.

EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.

1t has always seemed to us biSnder that
the large number Of rebels taken prispners
early in the war were let 60 On the easy
terms of taking the oath of allegiance
"Swear him and let him 60, was the word
fur every one, with rare exceptions; and none

deepest dyed traitors, multitudes Of whom
we're no sooner released than they betook
themselves TO their former business 81 rot
bing Union men, tearing up railroad tracks,
burning bridges and shooting Union pickets.
The motive for this iDdulgent treatment was
obvious enough. 1t was assumed that these
captured rebels were mostly acting under a
balief thst the Government meant 20 Cypress
them, to exterminate them even, and that
when they were un4eceived by such unlocked
for kind treatment as they net with. not
only would they return to their loyalty, but
their influence would be great to undeceive
Others, and 10 cause them to abandon the
rebel cause without delay. Expectations of
that sort have proved bsseless. The rebel
spirit has been too deeply implanted to be
destroyed in that way. 1t has got to be
torn up by the roots.
Other considerations aside, the military
hlunder Of letting multitudes Of rebel prison.
