the colored church at St. Catharines.
No regiment in the service of the United
States is on duty so far from home as the
Sth Vermont. Coming from the northern
extreme of the Union, it now bivouacs in
Algiers on the opposite side of the river

thirty-two miles Texaswards, from that
point.
Hon. Charles j. Ingersoll has been ar
rested for language used at the democratic
meeting in Independence square, Phiadel-
phia, on Saturday night. Mr.. Ingersoll was
arrested by United States Deputy Marshal
Schuyler, and put under bonds to answer
by Alderman Better.
Lewis Tappan of New York, lifelong
abolitionst, has of nephews and sons of
nieces, ten representatives in the army of
the Union. 1t is an every day remark,
made by pro-slayery men, whose sympa-
thies are with the rebels, that the abolition
lists (and in this term they include all anti
slavery men) have done nothing for the war.
John NJ. Bolts, the unyieding Virginia
lnionist, has been sent from Richmond to
Salisbury, N. c., where he is kept under
close surveillance, not exactly as a prisoner,
but not free agent. His son has been
drafted in the rebel army, under the new
rebel conscript law, which takes all that
were exempted under the previous rule =
young Bolts being lame.
The London Daily News has an editorial
on the rapid expansion of the emancipa-
ton scheme" in the prosecution of the
American war. 1t says it was not to be
expected that The northern people would
see at the outset that the extinction of slav-
cry was their main and the only practicable
issue TO put an end to the war. The ex-
tinction of slavery is now undoubtedly be-
coming the master element Of the struggle.
The crisis passing every moment makes new
aboltionists, and when there are enough of
them to support President Lincoln he will
speak the word and make the sign which
will save the republic.

A war meeting was held at Nottingham
Centre, on Saturday, the Esd inst, for max
ing some provision for the soldiers who
should enlist as volunteers to make up the
quota of the 100000 men called for by
War Department TO serve nine months. and
the quota required TO gill up the regiments
now in the field. The meeting was very
fully attended, almost the entire town being
present. DR.. Waters Gillet was chosen
President and L. Brown, Esq. Secretary.
The unanimity of feeling, and interest
to engage heartily in the work of crushing
out every vestige Of rebellion and treason,
by the invincible power of the Free North,
was unprecedented. Political differ ences
were not thought of-all hearts were in the
work. Patriotic and stirring speeches were
made by many of the most prominent citi-
zens but amongst them all, none had a
more salutary effect than that Of a wealthy
old farmer Of rs or 80 years, but yet hale
and vigorous, who took the stand, and b,
his Overlooking feelings Of patriotism, ane
the liberality with which he freely Offered
his means to any required extent, to al,
young men who should enlist in their coun
trys cause at this trying crisis, took tn,
meeting by surprise, and put new life ant
energy into the young men.
The town voted unanimously, with on,
solitary exception,) to pay each voluntee
for nine months 500 bounty, and each vol

be made up in due season to avoid draft

NEGROES FIGHTING FOR THEIR FREE

mish with some thirty armed negroes who
were seeking their freedom. They came
from the plantations of Messers. Morgan
and Walker, about thirty miles down the
coast. They arrived in the city at four in
the morning, and as they were marching up
the levee, when near the French market,
they were ordered by four policemen to
halt, and on refusing to do SO the policemen
attempted TO arrest them and called for aid.
A number of other policemen soon arrived,
and Immediately serious fisht ensued, the
negroes being armed with sugar cane
knives. They were getting the best of the
policemen when four soldiers of the 18th
Maine regiment came to their, aid, when, af-
ter struggle, in which the negroes fought
desperately, the police and soldiers were
victorious.
One negro was killed, nine wounded and
SIX taken prisoners. Five of the police were
pretty badly wounded. The negroes said
they were armed only TO resist any ATTEMPT
on the road to return them to slavery.
There can be no question but that the
policemen did their duty in arresting any
band OF armed men, whether black or white

New York, Aug. 26.
Tribune's Rappahannock correspondent
states the greatest crisis of this war occur
red between Thursday morning and Satur-
day night. 1t is passed and we are safe
Washington is safe--our army is safe---the
nation is safe.
Pope's artillery is now on the line cf the
Rapphannock, and Fiiz John Porter with a
heavy force joined Pope on Friday evening,
and host OF regiments have Joined and are
joining him by way of Alexandria, and now
look for the grand movement of the army
within thirty days. Burnside has massed
large army at Frederick sburg, and Pope
is nearly as strcng as LIE and Jackson
Mcclellan is extricaied from the net which
whether self woven or not, held him in its
meshes on the peninsula.
/ Some stir was caused in Washington
find, by sudden raid of $50 guerrilIas up
on Collects Station under cover of the night
Twenty supply trains were destroyed or
| their contents injured by the rebels. A
hundred prisoners and many horses were
taken. All the private papers and letters
of Gen. Pope, copies of dispatches and re-
ports, memoranda relating 10 the cafnpaign
and to the army, copies of kilograms sent,
all dispatches from the President, Haleck,
and the War Department orders issued TO
Generals of corps and divisions, all maps
and typographical charts containing informa.
ton of the greatest value in word the
whole history and plan of the campaign,
the number and disposition of troops, all
are revealed TO the enemy by this disaster.
Its seriousness can hardly be estimated. 1t
is taking the rebel General into the conf
dence OF Halleck, and may render it neces-
sary to change the whole campaign.

We presume our readers have not for
gotten that our annual State election takes
place on Tuesday of next week. The tick.
ct presented to the freemen of this State
this year, is not party ticket, but Union
ticket composed Of men f both the old par.
ties. |: is the only ticket not hampered and
trammeled by party, and also the only one
which is Internationally loyal.
1t is therefore most emphatcally Union
ticket, and most worthy of the support Of
the freemen Of Vermont. We need hardly
tell the intelligent people of Vermont, the
difference in the candidates for State and
County offices. While Gov. Holbrook and
Hon. Paul Dillingham; are doing all in their
power to strengthen the arm Of the Gov
eminent TO put down traitors, Benz. II.
Smalley, we are informed, even now, daily
breaches treason at his home in Swanton.
Yes, while Mr. Dillingham; works night and
day, canvassing the State for more aid to
the country, Ben Smalley does not say all
he thinks for fear of Fort Warren! And
in order that our readers may have the very
language Of the rebel sympathizer, and thus
Judge for themselves, we give the following
extract from his speech at the secesh State
convention held in this place on the I'd of
July last. Here it is:
"h aeould be very delicate matter, IN The
present state cfa6airs, soiM hampered press
and restricted freedom of speech, to cypress
my opinions. Hmight be TREASON. and
FORT WARREN or FORT LAFAY.
ETIE MIGHT STARE ME IN THE
FACE"
There is no installing the above. 1t is
she language of a sympathizer with South
ern treason, and if he had his just deserts,
he would to-day be in For Warren with
his fellow rebels, instead OF communicating
The atmosphere of Vermont vita his trea-
sonable utterances. He has no sympathy
to express for the administration in its eff
forts to put down the greatest and most I'M
called for and causeless rebellion ever
known. Not word Of rebuke for traitors
anywhere, but utter and wholesale rebuke
md denunciation Of those who are cordial.
" and actively on the side Of the Govern
ment; and his opposition is all the same
whether It is against Union democrats OF
Union republicans. Such is the man which
some thirty men in Wightman's Hall, have
put forth as candidate for governor of this
State
But, thank God, there is more danger Of
bis being struck by lightning than of being
elected governor, and we therefore leave the
subject.
Let all Union men who possibly can, 60 tc
the polls. 1t is important, not on account
Of any danger to our candidates, but tc
SHOW united and strong voice in behalf o.
our country. It's greater honor TO vote
NOV, than when you vote for mere political
party. Go 10 the polls next Tuesday!

ca We understand that measures have
been taken to arrest man in Topsham
who openly and publicly breaches against
enlistments, because the President does not
forthwith declare emancipation. If this
man is correctly reported, he ought to be ar
rested just as much as secessionist. 1t is
every mans duty to support the President,

Az INGENIOUS INvENTIoN.-On the
evening Of August 18th, we were favored
with call from Mr.. A. f. French of Frank
lin, Vermont, who was on his way to ex-
hibit 10 Gov. Holbrook and the State Off
eials an invention of his which he called
.Ssoordsd-JclR. The body of this ball is of
conical form-the largest end having lead
en- belt around It similar to the one around
the English and Belgian rifed cannon BALL
Lead is used as being the emily metal that
Is sensitive to the groove in the cannon.
| The swords are SO fastened to the ball that
when driven home the blades shut up, and
when the ball issues from the cannon's
mouth the rotary motion of the ball opens
them as water flies from the grindstone
when in rapid motion. The sirords can be
made from one 10 four feet long.
For this deadly invention, we understand
Mr.. French has been offered by some cum
ming souihron from the rebel States, seven
thousand dollars, which tempting offer Mr..
/ French was too loyal TO aecept-prefrrring
that the Government should have the ad-
vantage of so fatal missile us the sword

EN-MARsHAL PARrRIpGE.-This noto-
rious secessionist who recently skedaddled
toi Canada, and has be- indicted for trea-
son at Windsor, made his appearance at
Bun lngton on Saturday, and surrendered
himself to the United States authorities, aud
was required by Judge Smalley TO find bail
in the sum of $4,000 for his appearance at
the next term of the court to be held in
Rutland. No man, north or south, has ev-
er been more fully in sympathy with jeff.
Davis, and his fellow traitors, than this
Partridge. While on board a train on one
OF the railroads in this state, the other day,
we were shown letter written by him as
early as December, 1860, to gentleman in
Iowa. We took a copy Of the letter, which
will be found below. How fully he was in,
and understood the traitorous spirit Of the
south, even at that early day--Dec II,
lS60-is very apparent. The following is
the letter: -
NORWICH, VT. Dec. II, 1860.
Secession is all the talk here
Times are looking hard--money scarce, and
growing scarcer. The end is not yet. The
north and the south will separate; it will be
two distinct governments after March 4th.
South Carolina goes out Tomorrow Flori-
da, Alabama, Mississippi, on the 10th of
January; Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas,
by the end of next month; the remaining
southern states before the 4th of March
Ii they are all allowed to 60 out in quiet,
well and good; if not, then we shall see
such war as this country never witnessed,
Every mans hand against his neighbor.
All on account of the miserable negro
Would to God our northern republicans
would mind their own business, and lei the
south alone; then all would be well. Hope
your prospects in the west are better.
Respectfully Yours,
