ARREST or BURGLER.--Last week
Sheriff Gorham received Geographic dis
patch from Albany, n. Y, stating that a
fellow calling himself Fitch, had been ar
rested there on suspicion. He had been
offering articles at UNUSUAL prices, and
finally confessed 10 the police that he had
stolen them in Wardsboro. Sheriff Gorham
Immediately informed States Attorney j. d.
Bridsman Esq, of this place, and re-
QUESTION having been made out, started for
albany, expecting TO find stranger, when
10, Fitch proved to be one Jason Rice, Of
Wardsboro, whom he knew well, and who
was little suspected of being BURGLAR,
He was brought before Justice c. X. Field
at Bratlleboro, and required to give bonds
in the sun of $3.50, FILLING TO do that, he
was sent 10 Jail. 1t appears he committed
the burglary last fall in Wardsbore, when
he stole harness valued at $40, and some
other things which he was offering AT
: greatly reduced prices" at Albany. A
box of his traps, &c, were brought back by
the Sheriff.

Bruce FALL,-The long bridge over
Vaechee river in Bridgewatcr, near Josiah
Jooselyns, fell with crash, smashing it all
up, on the 10Th inst. 1t was built some ff-
teen years ago, and had become oil and de.
cayed. No one was on it when it fell.
though there is usually constant passing,
but a few had narrow escapes. Mr.. Brad
ley Of Plymouth, had just passed over it
with a span of horses and load of wood.
and had only got few rods from Il when
the crash took place. Levi 0rdway OF
Cavendish, passed ii after Mr.. B., and Joel
b. Slack and Levi Slack, ESQ, both Of
Plymouth, had similar escapes, The tray
ell now passes over the river about half a
mile above, on another bridge, making the
distance about mile further than before.

ey BY cur latest news, it will be seen
thai two or three more towns and forts in
Florida, have been captured by our troops,
among which is Jacksonville, where are
many settlers from this State, and whose
friends in Vermont viii wait with much
anxiety TO hear from them.
POSTSCRLPTi-Just as we go to
Press we learn that the rebels before evac-
uating Jacksonville, burnt the Hotel there
some Lumber Mills, and also the house OF
Mr.. Robinson, a Union man." This doubt
less means C. L. Robinson, formerly of
Reading. His house was burnt by or
der of the Rebel General Trapier who
ingloriously fed just before the arrival OF
our troops, and sent back a detachment to
to do this ineendiary work. The quotation
above is from the dispatch of Commodore
Dupont, himself 1t is evident that the
Vermonters there, have been waiting for
the protection of the National flag.

why the Proclamation should have been

We are evidently on the eve of great

their hopes oil incline them to last effort

What Is Thought of the Submission
lnt PROTECT In EnRInnd.


The English journals discuss. with vari-
Gus leanings. but with single interpreta-
ton, the plans and Intentions of the Dem
Ocrstic leaders in placing themselves once
more before the people for their votes. It
is plain that the movement of Seymour,
Fernando Wood and Ben. Wood in New
York, of F. W. Hughes in Pennsylvania,
ValIandigham and Cox 10 Ohio, and their
fellows elsewhere. is Interpreted in London
as 1t is in Richmond, as intended to en-
courage and help the rebels, and perhaps
to place the whole nation at their mercy,
disbonoriug our soldiers and giving victory
to Davis and the rebels. The London Spec
tqtor says:
What can We hope from party that
puts forward such resolutions as these at
such time as the presenter Indeed from
the people among whom that party is re-
gaining the ascendant, If that be really the

more heartily opposed to any life aud soul

would gladly put an evil soul into it,-then
they deserve nothing but contempt, for

SAMUEL GRAMS.

Tar results of the late election in some
quarters are unpleasant enough, 10 all con-
science, as food for reflection, but there is
nothing surprising in them when we con
slider how macy hundred thousand men
who would have voted the o. U. ticket
have gone out of the States in question
and are now in the field, the hospital, or
under the sod. while all the Butteruuts
stuck to home as if they had been glued to
it 1t is not that there are any more tories
in Ohio, for example, than there were two
years ago, but fewer loyal men there. The

ACard from Auditor Crane.
AUDIToR's OFFICE,
WHEELISG, Oct 10Th, 1862.

Editors Intekiigeneer:
The editor of the Wheeling Press, on the
goth inst, reiterates the charge he has here
tofore SO often made against me, viz. that
at Beverly, Randolph county, received his
rebel cohorts with welcome speech, and
fear longe. silence on my part might tend
to give color to the charge.
therefore now declare that the charge
is false, and the author deliberate liar
There does not live the man, whether he
be secesh or Union, whose word would be
received among gentlemen, that would dare
to make the charge. And of this fact am
well satisfied the editors of the Wheeling
Press are well informed. Yet this misera-
ble calumniator of the Wheeling Press pub
fishes day after day. lie after lie, about me,
meanly relying upon his diminutiUe carcass
as protection against personal RESPONSE
bility.
Now dare the lying editor of the Vince.
ling Press 10 make good his charge by men
OF Beverly, whether they be of his own
stripe or Union men. If made that speech
of which he has so often spoken, certain
" there must be some Of the men that
heard it living. Beverly is a small towu,
and speech delivered in town, could be
heard all over the town. There must
therefore, be many in Beverly yet living,
that heard it (if 1t was ever made and the
editor of the Wheeling Pres can easily
bring many to testify in his behalf. Do
this, miserable caluniator, or acknowledge
yourself wilfnl liar and slanderer.
oh, that Public Printing!

that the yellow feverha made its appear
ance in several towns of Texas. At So

been twenty-five deaths from it Most of
the people had fed from the place.
There were fifty.four new cases Of fever

The New state of west virginia.

We would remind our readers who are
friends of the new State measure, that
there are now but six weeks between this
and the next meeting of Congress. Are
you quite ready for that evsnt2 Have you
taken the action deemed essential on your
part to secure the new State an early ad /
mIssion2 Have the memorials for aduis-
sion under the bill of Senator Wiley, as
passed by the Senate, been distributed aud
as numeronsly signed as they should and
may be7 If not, it ought to be attended
to without loss of time There may be a
good 'dealto do, and now the margin of
time has narrowed down to less than a
month aud half. We ought to make good
use of it.
We do not know whether enough forms
of petition have been circulated. If not,
steps should be taken TO ascertain and sup
ply the districts that are without. .i-
Every thoughtful man will see in the re-
suits of the late election, and may not I'M
reasonably anticipate in those to follow
new aud vital reasons for taking such steps
as to secure the passage of the new State
bill through the House CT Representatives
during the approaching session. We be-
lieve hardly a democratic member of those
elected would vote for it; and if it should
by any mishap go over another year the
composition of the House might be SO chan
ged by that time as to insure us nothing
but modification aud defeat, and the total
wreck of ALL hopes for new State.
We sincerely trust that it is to be admit
ted early in the session, and doubt not that
it will be. But it should never be forgot
ten that the Lord helps those who helps
themselves; and we should not permit as
surauce TO make us SO careless as to make
disappointment possible. We ought 10
make assurance doubly sure, as all practi-
cal aud sensible people do when they are
resolutely bent upon thing. Congress
ought to have abundant evidences that the
bill to be brought forward is such one US
this people want: not that the universal
indignation of our people at the treachery
of Mr.. Carlile, or their equally universal
endorsement of the course of Senator viii
ley will be forgotten. Far from it, but this
expression needs to be embodied and
brought before the House in palpable
shape, as twill be 10 the memorial. that
there may be no plea for possible postpone.
,ment or rejection.
tits always dangerous to have meas
ure deferred to the heel of the session, aud
such a contingency should be provided
against by having everything ready at its
opening. In the Congress following this,
NO shall not have Bingham and some 9TH
ers like him to stand up as our advocates
and vote as our friends Let not our in.
terests and hopes be consigned to the ten
der mercies of their successors.
The present is always the moment with
which We have practically to deal, and nO,O
is the time to do what is to be to our advau-
tage in future.
Sow urge you. friends of the new State,
to ill up your memorials and have them
