PROCLAMATION.

People of Vera Cruz-The Spanish trooTt
who now occupy your city come With no mission
of conquest. nor for interested motives. They
are led hither solely by the duty of demanding
satisfaction for the failure Of treaties and for
the violence committed againstour compairiotsI
as well as by the necefsity of obtaining guarsn-
ties against the repetition Of similar outrages.
Coming with these objects, he Spanish army
will, under any eventualities, be able, with les
vigorous discipline, to preserve, at any cost the
public tranquility, give protection TO peaceful
inhabitants, and punish with severity all per-
turbeIs of order, first submitting them TO trial
by q military commission. Vera CruzAns, fear
nothing from the Spanish soldiers. Return tc
your regular svocations, confident that the
greatest satisfaction to the army will be, after
having fulfilled the mission coD6ded to il by The
Queen, TO return TO Its own country, with tue
certainty OF having mefited your affection.

a Sad and Singular Case,

A MISS Emily Scott, aged about I9 years.
daughter of William B. Scott. OF PAini,i
was found dead in her bed on the morDiu, Of
Thursday last, (23d iust.)
She had been hired to work in the family
of Mr.. Thomls Colrser, 10 this VILLAGE
where she had been some two weeks when
the tragic scene occurred. The circamstar.
ces, as we learned them from Mrs. Courg,
were briefly as follows She had been With
them somo two weeks, and had been sppn.
emily contcnted, cheerful, and happy. Just
at night-fall she went to the apothecary's and
obtained vial of liquid strychnine. She
returned and performed her accustomed work
of washing dishes, sc with her usual cheer
fulness, singing occasionally, while about ha
work. She spent the evening with Mr.
Courser, in cheerful conversation, up to
about s o'clock, when she retired 70 lH
room, packed up all her thirgs, changed ha
uudercothes, put everything in order about
ner room, and turned down the light 10 ha
kerosene lamp, aud as is supposed took the
fatal draught and at once laid hersei' in BET
where she was found in tie morning as aso7:
stated. She gave no intimaton in any FORM
nor TO any one, of her intcntion and let
no clue by which her motives can be even
guessed at. 1t is most sad and singular
case. The blow falls with crushing wsga'
upon her family. 1t is but few months
since their eldest son was laid in sodd'
grave, in the land of strife and strangers
And scarcely less severe is the sad event "
the family in which it occurred.

Congressional Districts.

Mr. Walton, in his paper, in discussing the
proposed change in Congressional districts in
the State, starts out with the following propo-
sition
Three things should control this matter a
fair distribution Of population-conve
and sound party policy.
We agree to these " three things placing
the las. where it belongs, subordinate to both
The others. This article admits that the
first of these would be regarded by the proposed
change in the bill already before the Senate,
the population being AS follows:

II however aggues prospectively that the
population will Increase more rapidly in the
present third district, than in the other two, and
his present inequality thus be remedied In
our judgment, however, it would be wiser to
make division that shall be just to-day, than
one that it will require ten years to make right.
OF The conveoien e # the proposed change, the
NatChnan says;
rs to convenience, the proposed first district
will be as inconvcnient Tor " INDIAN as the
pces3nt one is for Washington. The second is
not improved; and the 'hird we think is in
proved. Nevertheless, The matter Of convenience
IS Of less Importance than any other, as it con-
Germs only the gathering Of conventions The
Importance OIL these, and the interest in them.
VII secure representation In any event
We dissent from this entirely. |; is not as
inconyeaient fer Windham County to 60 to Rut-
!and--wherc the Conventions in the proposed
first District woald undoubtedly be held-as it
IS for Washington County to 80 to the same
place or to MiddIebury. The Windham Coanty
people, on the cJatiary, c!n get to Rutland BY
direct railroad COMMUNICATION, and as easily
as they can g to White River junction, where
the Conventions in their district are now held.
Nor do we agree that the importar ce Of Conven-
tons and the interest in them, will secure full
representation in any event. 1t may 80 secure a

or who have personal friendship for and inter

are always on hand at such time, 0. the dele

We thin, these figures sufficient answer to
the argument against the proposed changes
growing out Of the necessity of keeping three
Republican members in Congress and we are
surprised, in view of the politics of this State
for the past six years, that any body should
advance this ghost of the par policy
which ruled in 1850, and which, whether wise
or un~ise, fair or unfair, has no possible force
now against new dIstricting of the State.
We will only add, that while we arc not any
more in favor Of the bill now before the Legls-
lature, than of any other division Of the State
which will do equal justice to the people, we
yet are decidedly in favor of some division
which will better accommodate the voters of
w ashington County. And we believe that, ir-
respective of the aspirations of this or that in
dlvdual who is looking forward to / seat in the
next Congress, the General Assembly would not
hesitate moment in orlecting the injustice
done in 1850 by subordinating all other con-
siderations to the dictates Of party policy" in
districling the State and we trust the Legis-
lature will not perpetuate that wrong on &C
count OF any private interest," or to enable bar
gains aud trades, made in past years. to be more
easily carried out.

DISTURBANCE IN BALTIMoRE,-Some time
since Committee of loyal citizens Of Baltimor-
was appointed to take testimony to lay before
the President, as to alleged charges agains, the
military authorities Of that city. This Com
mittee, while in session Tuesday evening, was
arrested by order Of Gen. Wool, and all the
papers before TIE Commit were carried to
headquarters. Tnis arrest created quite sen
ation in the city, and Gen. Bradford, Judge
Bond, and other citizens took the matter i'll
hand. A Committee was dispatched to Wash
ington to urge the President to release the per-
sens arrested. Gen. Bradford also went to see
the President. Assurances were given that the
prisoners should be speedily released, but this
had not been done at late advices. In the
meantime the people Of Baltimore were getting
quite indignant over the matter.

U1SCuPlum0r10O0 II our army
The Mobile Tribune says that some Of the
soldiers from Gen. Prices division have been
ir that city, on their way to Virginia. It was
interesting to hear these men expressing their
admiration Of their chief The T1bans says:
One of them declared that he would rather
die under his command than fghtpnder any
other. 1t was a little sxtravagaut but evident
y earnest. And yet Gen. Price is As rigid
disciplinarian as any officer in the service.
How is it that he has held ragged and half
starved army in the bleak climate OF Missouri
in so good fighting trim as to win every bat
tie where there was not great disparity of
numbers-holding bis men in his hand to do,
and eagerly desiring to do, whatever they were
ordered9 This is the secret of success, and it
shows that their military knowledge and expe-
rierce are not the complete measure of SOL
dier's fitness for command. Beauregard has q
great deal of this control of his troops. Ma
poleon had it, and every great soldier must
have it. Between martinez and q comman-
der of this kind there is en- infinite difference.
The officer whom his men are attached to can
handle'a brigade with as much effect as one
lacking it can division.
