WoOL's DEPARTMENT.-The condition
of the negroes, or contrabands," who
have been deserted by their masters and
are now enjoying the refuge of the Union
army at Fortress Monroe, is occupying
the serious attention of Major General
Wool. Over three thousand of these ne
groes are now receiving support, and
their number is increasing every day
The difficulty of taking care of them is
very great, inasmuch as many OF them
are women and children, and reports hav-
ing reached Gen. Wool that these unfor-
Inmates are in some instances a source of
embarrassment to the different military
commanders under whose protection they
they have come, the Major General has

composed OF Col. J. T. Cram, Inspector
General, and Major Legrand B. Cannon,
Aid-de-Camp, to investigate the condition
of the contrabands and provide for their
wants.

SOCIETY.

The twenty sixth annual meeting of
this Society was held in accordance with
a call by the committee at the Brick
Church. in Castleton, on Wednesday,
Feb. 5, 1862.
JAMES BARRETT, ESQ, OF Rutland pre-
sided, and called the meeting to order,
and invited Rev. DR.. Child to offer prayer.
The proceedings of the last annual
meeting were read and approved.
On motion of r. V. Marsh, ESQ, of
Brandon, all gentlemen in attendance
were called upon to participate in the do
ings OF the meeting.
Committee to nominate officers for the
ensuing year-C. Spencer, OF Castleton,

l.. Marsh, of Clarendon. ... s3s
On motion of Hon. Zenni Howe, of
Castleton, a committee composed of one
from each town represented, was raised
to nominate "a candidate for County Com

Messrs Howe of Castleton, Marsh of Clar-
sndon, Ellis of Fairhaven, Sheldon of Rut-
land, Smith of Dandy, Morse of Poultney,
Churchill of Hubardton, Marsh of Bran
don, and Rice of Pawlet. On motion,
the chair appointed Hon, W. G. Kitredge,
Rev. H. o. Highly, and John Howe, Jr.,
the Committee on Resolutions,
The several committees submitted
through the chairman of each their reports
as follows, which were adopted:
On nominations--For President, JAS.
BARRETT, ESQ, of Rutland. Vice Presi-
dents. Hon. A. L. Brown, of Rutland,
John Howe, Jr, of Brandon, Hon. G. M.
Willard, Castleton. Secretary, B. w.
Burt, of Castleton. Executive Commit
tee, L. Sheldon, B. F. Winslew, G.
Spencer.
For County Commissioner-Hon. W.
| G. KITTRIDGE, Of Fairhaven.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following;
RESOLVED, That the cause of Temper
ance needs more popular addresses and
lectures for its promotion and success, as
much at least as it requires vigorous ex-
ecution of temperance laws.
Resolved, That the practice of families
in making domestic wines is dangerous,
as tending to introduce in the young hab-
its of using intoxicating drinks,
Mr.. Howe, of Brandon, offered very
interesting remarks relating to temper
ance in the army. He had recently spent
some ten days among the Vermont troops
on the Potomac--was much surprised to
find so little intoxication among the men
saw only five soldiers under the influence
of liquor during his stay with them--dis-
! covered no appearance of strong drink in
the camps or officers quarters-thought
it difficult 10 obtain rum in or around the
seat of war, and mere troublesome to en-
force the law in New England than
there. Large quantities of liquor of diff
ferent kids had been seized and de-
stroyed. Temperance reading was gen.
orally diffused through tbs regiments, as
far as his knowledge extended.
The statements of Mr.. Howe were
wholly authenticated by Rev. DIR. Child,
who had experienced two weeks life with
the Vermont soldiery now in the field.
After well-timed and effective remarks
by different members of the meeting, for
the good of the cause, and instructing the
Secretary to furnish the minutes to the
papers for publication, it was voted to ad-
journ without day.

THE CONFEDERATES IN EX-
TREMITY.
From the Richmond Enquirer,

Mcclellan is moving his legions, and
probably in earnest. Are we ready p
The war drum should sound throughout
our Confederacy. The war spirit must
be revived. We want war speeches at
our court-houses and crossroads. Our
people should rouse up and organize as
one man, and prepare for the most deter
mined war. See ye not the circles of fire
that is uniting around you? Hear ye not
the tramp of the enemy's advancing lines
and the rush of his coming steps? The
shock of tremendous strife is upon us.
As free and independent people we have
either to conquer or to die, and we are
resolved not to die. The time is come
when every one who has the spirit of a
man must show it.

Signs of the Beginning.

We have plenty Of announcements that
the grand advance was just about to begin.
We have reasons, however, for attaching
more Importance than is usual in such cases
to the following Washington telegram in
Forney's Press of Wednesday:
much excitement was produced this
morning in consequence Of the understand
ing that General of a certain division not
hundred miles from Washington had re-
ceived orders to prepare his command for
marching within ten days, In connection
with this fact, and the sailing Of the Burnside
inc that the Government intends to inaug-
urate very shortly movement on a grand
scale. The interest Of the nation demands
that the facts Of the case should not be pub
lished; but the simple announcement ID
sufficient to awaken the liveliest interest. ~

Important from WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-A report is in
circulation around the Capitol and generally
believed that Mr. Cameron has resigned his
position al Secretary of War, and Edwin Nj.
Stanton will take his place. Cameron will
be appointed Minister to Russia.
Rumors continue to be circulated repre-
senting the condition Of Gen. Mcclellan as
nntavorable, but the truth is he continues
daily to improve and rides out in his car
riage on business.
The President has approved the joint res-
olution. explanatory Of the act to increase
the duties on tea, coffee and sugar.
The Tribune's Washington correspondent
says the weather has so broken up the roads
on the other side Of the Potomac that even
the irrepressible Sigel himself, who always
reaches his destination about the time that
it is announced that he cannot possibly leaye
his place of departure, could scarcely move
division over them. 1t is mud deverywhere,
and deep mud, tho. The President has said
that he will not accept Gen. Sigel's resigna-
tion except as a last resort He accounts
him valuable officer, and will spare no pains
to retain him in the service.
Our present relations with Europe are
deemed highly important and interesting,
and as Russia seems to be strong friendly
power. the President was anxious that some
one should act as minister at the Court Of
st. Petersburg, in whom ne has entire con-
| fdence, who can able and fairly represent
his views aud aid our cause in Europe. Gen.
Cameron accepted the Office of Secretary with
great reluctance, preferring to retain his seat
In the Senate and has always declared hi;
intention to vacate the place when the in.
| terests Of the country would allow, and he

if assessments shall be justly apportioned
among them, all should take delight in con.
tributing their quota. Look well to It, then
that our system OF taxation be just and equal,
80 that each citizen shall pay no more nor
less than hisjust proportion, The burthens
OF our Government, as well as its blessings,
should be shared BY all alike.
The national Government has been obliged
to call upon the loyal States for pecuniary
aid. This call should he responded to prompt.
ly and cheerfully. The extent of the call
cannot, with any degree of certainty, be
stated at this time 1t is believed, however,
that the sum of three millions per aunum for
few years will fully meet all acquisitions
likely to be made upon Ohio lfthis amount
should be added to the large amounts or
dinarily assessed against the people, it could
not fail to prove extremely burthensome J;
hence, they will expect you, while making
provisions for the want ofthe National Gov
ernment, to relieve, if possible, against the
burthcns now resting upon them. The re-
liefis to be maintained mainly by a reduction
of salaries and per diem compensation now
paid, and by the reduction of local taxation
Both OF these measures | urge upon you.
