GaEAT ORGANs.-A correspondent from
Bellows Falls sends us the following facts
about some of the organs in London:
Messrs. Editors In your paper Of We'd
nesday evening, Nov. 18th, you call atten-
ton &c the new Organ of the Unitarian
Church. Burlington, and say "it has 100
pipes, being more than n,ahe great organ
in St. Pauls, London"
The Organ at St. Pauls Cathedral has
never been known as ga great organ" 1t
is SasdU oae when compared with many
others in London. 1t was built by Schmidt
and Cranz in 1904, aud has great age. 1t
has been repaired and altered by several
organ builders during the last one hundred
years. Mr.. Bishop, in 1926, added a
very fine set Of open wood pedal pipes
but the organ now has only thirty stops
while the one at St. Martins, has eighty
t,co. St. Paurs organ is small, when compar,
ed with that at Exter Hall. which has 2lS7
pipes or with that at Chrisi's Church
which has 2124 pipes or with even that al
the Founding Hospital, which has 205i
pipes.-BsrIingtoR Free Press

MARROW ESCAPE FROM BEING BURIED
ALIvE.-The following statement is made
of the narrow escape of wounded soldier
from being buried alive -
After the battle of Newbern, North Car
olina, George W. Green, a volunteer from
Cooperstown, O;sego county, n. Y, was
sent out with others to bury the dead
Among the bodies picked up by Green and
his helpers was that of ore Rufus Petty,
from the same county. The body was
placed on the stretcher and carried to the
grave, and just as it was being lowered into
the grave, Green, who had been familiar
wiih Petty, thought he would search his
pockets TO Tee whether there was anything
that might be sent home to his friends. In
so doing he ran his hand up under his vest
and discovered that hls heaEt was family
beating.
lie announced the fact TO his comrade
who said il couldn't possibly be, as the sur
seon had made thorough investigation o
all on the field, and pronounced Petty among
others, dead. lie was then told to plac,
his iiand over his heart, when he too becam,
satisfied that there was life. Petty wa
subsequently carried TO the hospital, recoE
cred, and returned home-

SEIZURE OF MCsKEYs.-The Rutland
Herald says that two seizures of muskets
are reported to have been made by the rev.
enue officers at Burlington last week. The
number taken was altogether about eight
thousand. They were OF Belgian manu-
tacturr, rihed, with sword 'bayouets and per-
cussion locks, but rudely constructed The
first lot was taken on board the boats, the
second on the cars. The arms were ia The

The LEGISLATURE.

The legislature gets along slowly, but they
are hard at work, and when they shall have
completed their labors, we believe the ver-
dict will be that no legislature for many years
has done so much work. II is no small job
10 60 through with revision of the Stat
Utcs.
Occasionally, however, the monotony is
broken into by some proposed amendments,
and new legislation. On the subject Of
capital punishment, Mr.. Balch of Ludlow,
made an able speech in favor of its abol-
ton, but the House voted it down by a
large majority. On Saturday the Personal
Liberty Laws came up. The Committee
on revision had stricken them out altogeth-
err. Mr.. Royce OF Berkshire, and Mr..
Dennison of Royaltor, opposed this law,
and Messrs. Henry of Chester, Balch Of
Ludlow, Shaw of Burlington, Miller of
Williston, and eastman of Rochester. all
favored them. They believed it was no
time to show the white feather, when the
shareholders were in rebellion, much less
to do anything as though we we're ready
TO get down on our marrow bones and plead
for the privilege of chasing negroes for
class of traitors who now utterly repudiate
our Government and Constitution. AT the
end of the debate, the Liberty Law was re-
stored to the Statutes, by vote of 127 to
~.
The Brandon Bank question has excited
some interest. The old bank asks for re-
charter, which is opposed by N. T. Sprague
and others in that town. The Brandon
Monitor fights for the old bank with pluck
worthy of its namesake,-and Sprague fires
away through the Montpelier papers, as
does also the editor of the Monitor. The
Sprague party want new bank, we be-
lieve. The question is not yet decided in
The House.
On Monday, Mr.. Barrett of Grafton, got
the School law amended so that school dis
tricts may, by vote of majority. pay a
teacher after the superintendent has re-
voked the certificate of teacher. Messrs.
Barrett and HOLSTER supported this an end
ment, and Mr.. Torrey of Jamaica opposed
it, but it was adopted.
It is probable now that the legislature
will adjourn in some less than two weeks.
No militia bill has yet been enacted, but it
is understood that hill drawn by senator
chairman of the Military Com
Inittee ia the Senate, will be brought be-
fore helegislature this week.

Hon. George Lane, who was appointed
U. 5. judge for the northern district of AL
ALBANIA by President Lincoln, is reported to
have said that the emancipation proclama-
ton will do no harm among the Unionists
of his section. For himself, he said, q this
was the FIRST streak of daylight he had SEEN"
lie had two brothers, owned three hundred
slaves, and they intended at once to make
them free, and employ them as hired labor
ers, and he believed that the Shareholders
generally of that region would do the same.
He said he should. as southern man, and
from what he knew Of The feelings of the
people of the section where he resided, as
well as from what the necessities of the
case plainly demanded, urge the President
to stand by the proclamation at all hazards
and execute il to the letter, notwithstanding
the clamors of northern sympa,hisers ana
the threats of southern rebels.

WILL THE NEGROES FIGHT THAT |
question is answered. On the 2Sth Oct.
the first colored regiment of Kansas had |
severe fight with the rebels, losing men
and killing Is of the rebels. The account
says: 1t is useless to talk any more of
negro courage. The men fought like Ii
gers, each and every one of them, and the
main difficulty was TO hold them well in
hand." Fort Curtis, strong work just
finished near Helena, Arkansas, was con-
structed by contrabands under a German
'officer. When negroes can both build forts
and defend them it is madness TO leave them

The SoLpIER's LITTLE Bor.---A
ToUcnING INcIDENT.-From the Norfolk
County Journal we take the following:-
A. the 10th Mass. Battery pissed up
State street, stalwart soldier. in addition
TO his knspsaek and equipments, supported
astr;de his shoulders his little boy, some
three years old. Many fathers eye, as
he behed the sight, filed with tears; for
who could withhold the thought that per-
haps, ere few days had passed. that brave
and manly soldier might fail, and the little
COY thrown upon the world wihoet the kind
protection of his fathers arm.
1t was a beautiful illustration of the spir-
1t with which our brave volunteers go forth
TO the war. As the soldier leaves the Old
Bay State, his last thought is upon his fam
lily at home, and at last as he releases from
around his neck the arms of his son. from
the depth of his heart he exclaims-"Noth-
ing but an undying love for my country
would prompt such sacrifices" ard with a
stout heart calls ior Gods blessing to re-
main with The loved ones at home.
