that she was not being tried by jury. In
view of her evident verdancy she was not SEN
fenced for contempt of Court, but on the COM
plant for larceny she was fined $40 and costs.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER l6, 1862.
Re-clection oS senator Foot.

The Intelligence Of the reelection of Sena-
,,or Foot will be received with universal salts
s,jon throughout the state, as well as among
III loval people throughout the country. The
.tre unanmity which was everywhere felt
rgarding the propriety of again returning him
n the United States Senate; his unanimous
animation in the Legislative caucus, and his
election, without opposition, for third senate
rial term, constitute a merited tribute to his
distinguished ability, his conscientious devotion
10 bis senatorial duties, his state and country;
% his personal integrity and worth, and his
srmmandng position and influence IN the Sen
ate, and with the government.
Senator Foot has already had an unusually
long experience in public life. As early as
1888 he was chosen by the town of Rutland as
is representative in the State Legislature, and
tom that time until lS42, was frequently re-
teted 10 the same position, being for three
rsan the Speaker of the House. In lS42, he
Ess elected a member of the national House
| d representatives, where he served two terns,
nd declining a third reelection, resumed his
rofssional practice in Rutland for some four
Eve years. At the expiration of that time
at took his seat, March 4, 1851, in the United
States Senate, where his eminent career for
NO terms, as Senator, and as presiding officer
fr a considerable portion of the time of that
oov, are well known to the country. Thus the
chef part of his time for the past thirty years
has been devoted to public service, and he has
gathered an experience which, added to his
nnent ability, it would be calamity to the
state and to the country, especially in time
Ike this, to lose.
Its unprecedented, we believe, in the his
tory of this state to return the same person to
the United States Senate for three terms
This third election of Senator Foot is therefore
both marked compliment to him, and is also
Indicative of the good judgment of the people
Of Vermont in waving, with such unanimity,
,- precedents, in the present national emergen-
'y; and considering only the question, who
Fould, by his experience, his influence, ability,
hehty and patriotism, best serve us and the
nperiled country; question happily most
asy answered in this case.
Vermont has gained much credit through
er distinguished and influential representatives
il the United States Senate, and long may she,
and the country at large, continue to enjoy the
! benefit of their counsels.

From NAsHvILLE.-For several davs nre

FROM NAsHvILLE.-For several DAYS pre-
vious to the 9Th instant no mail had been re-
ceived at st. Louis from Nashville, Tennessee.
On that day Mr.. MARYLAND, the mail agent,
arrived overland. He reports that the condi-
ton of things in Nashville is not pleasant to
contemplate. The place is, as it were, shut
out from all communication with the world
South or North, and is prey to all sorts of
rumors of disaster and defeat on both sides.
General Negley is in command with some
twelve thousand men, determined to defend it
to the last Governor johnson expresses his
desire to die rather thai abandon the place.
Provisions are scarce and the garrison deficient
in many necessaries. Foraging parties, with
strong escorts, have to be sent out at frequent
intervals to great distance to procure subsist-
ence, which is growing very scarce in the sur
rounding country. Alarming reports of rebel
successes in all parts ofthe country are brought
in. Breckenridge was reported advancing with
thirty thousand men. Reports that Washing
ton was in possession of Gen. Lee; Memphis
had been re-taken by Price.

Local and state Items.

CHANGE OF TIME.-The Rutland & Bur
lington Railroad Company have made change
in the time of running their trains north, to ac-
commodate the travel to Montpelier during the
session of the Legislature. A morning train
now leaves Rutland at 6.25 A. NJ, stopping at
intermediate stations, and arriving at Burling-
ton at 9.25, connecting with train for Mont
peier, to arrive at the latter place at IL 40 A.
M.
A. train will also leave Montpelier at 7 .35 A.
NJ; arrive at Burlington at 1925, and con-
meet with express train for Rutland, which will
stop at way stations to leave passengers from
Montpelier. On the above trains cars will run
through, both ways, without change between
Montpelier and Rutland. In addition to the
above, passengers for Montpelier, by going to
Burlington on mail train, can leave there at
SIS P. NJ, and arrive at Montpelier at 1895
P. NJ,
Returning, leave Montpelier at 450 P. NJ,
arrive at Burlington at GAS P. NJ, and take
the 9.20 P NJ train for Rutland and interme-
date stations.
ExcURsIoN.-An excursion takes place to-
day, over the Rutland & Burlington Railroad,
to Brattleboro, returning on Friday, the 17th
This will afford all those residing on the line of
the road an opportunity to visit the regiments

THE REBEL TELEGRAPH.-We suspect
that not few of the forewarnings of our own
army movements which the rebels have re-
ceived, are to be accounted for by their being
signalized from house to house or hill to hill,
instead of being communicated by treacherous
emissarles in our own armies. The late re-
connoisance to Ashby's Gap was foiled of its
main object in that way according to the fol-
lowing account:
Col. Price, who made the late reconnois-
ance to Ashby's Gap, found on his way that
every house on the road was telegraph Of
fee. Thus, in three hours after our force left,
it was known in Aide, forty miles distant,
that artillery aud cavalry were advancing, the
rebels signaling with flags by day and lights
by night, and hence the train of wagons
sought to be captured had been removed be-
fore our force got there.
A correspondent at Newbern, n c., who
is in the army there, and who has done a good
deal of scouting and reconnotering, informs us
that it is the invariable custom on the advance
of our troops to any house, for some one to
throw up window, hang out cloth, shout
or some of the family in the field, or perform
some other act which viii signal danger. In
many cases the "signal posts have been de-
stroyed. Women have generally been the OPP
orators.

In 1901, that memorable year when Rome,
Amsterdam. Dantzc, Antwerp, and Paris were
cities of the same proud empire, Napoleon had
brought his young bride to Brussels, and was
received with much enthusiasm and pomp.--
On the morning after his arrival, he reviewed
the troops of the garrison of Al Verte, and as
grenadier who bore the chevrons of a sergeant
major. Tai and erect, his black eyes blazed
like stars from face bronzed by twenty cam
paigns which an enormous moustache rendered
still more formidable or bizorTe When the
lines were reformed, the Emperor rode up to
the regiment of grenadiers and called the ser
geant to the front. The heart of the old SOL
dier beat high and his cheeks glowed.
" | have seen you before" said Napoleon
Your name?"
"Noel, sirem he answered. with faltering
voice
"Were you not in the army of Italy? 2"
"Yes, sire drummer at the Bridge of Ar
COLE" -t
"And you became sergeant major 2"
"At Marengo, sire" ....
"But since 2h ...
"I have takenmy share of all the great bat
ties"
He had been distinguished for his bravery
in several battles, but his modesty had pre-
vented his soliciting advancement, and he had
been overlooked in the promotions.
The Emperor waved his hand, the grena-
adler returned to the ranks, and Napoleon
spoke rapidly to the colonel for a few moments,
the quick glances of his eyes towards Noel
showing that he was talking of him.
The Emperor recalled him to his side.
"You have merited the Cross of the Legion
of Honor" said he giving him one that he
wore.
"You are brave man."
The grenadier, who at that moment stood be-
tween the Emperor and colonel, could not
speak. but his eyes said more than volumes
Napoleon made sign, the drums beat roll,
there was a dead silence, and the colonel,
turning toward the new knight, who with
trembling hands was placing his cross upon his
breast, said, in a loud voice,
" In the name of the Emperor, respect Ser
geant-Major Noel as sub-Lieutenant in your
ranks"
The regiment presented arms. Noel seemed
in dream, and only the immovable features
of the Emperor prevented him from falling up
Ou HIS hHttS. hltOtuti sign NdS UlduC, thO

" In the name of the Emperor, respect Sub

This new thunderstroke nearly overcame the
grenadier his knees trembled his eyes, that
had not been moist for twenty years, were
filled with tears, and he was vainly endeayorng
to stammer his thanks, when he heard third
roll of the drums and the loud voice Of his Co

The Ninth Vermont.

A correspondent Of Walton's journal, VIII
ting under date of October 4, describes a visit
made by him to the ninth Vt. regiment at
Chicago. He says,
Yesterday visited the 9th VI. regiment
now quartered, or more truthfully speaking,
set down in the mud at Chicago. They are
crowded into the sheds and stables on the race
course, with the water and mud ankle deep,
without tents or blankets, and poorly clad
They are in almost a mutinous condition.
The officers and men are very anxious to be
transferred, during their parole, TO their own
State, where they can feel the influence and
the sympathy of home and friends. They
have had hard time since they left the State,
and are entitled 10 the sympathy and protec-
ton of the citizens of Vermont. They feel
that they were basely betrayed and made pris-
oners, but this is no fault of theirs. They
were anxious to fight, and if they had been
permitted, would have done honor to themselves
and the State. The officers are doing all in
their power for the comfort of the men.
hope the Governor will take measures TO obtain
their removal to Vermont.
We are certainly unable to see any good re-
suit to be attained by keeping the regiment so
far from home during the continuance of their
parole; unless it is true that they are intended
as a reserve, to be called out in case of sudden
emergency in the Indian warfare of the North
west There would doubtless be less sickness,
exposure and suffering of the men in their ma
tive state, and among friends who would take
pleasure in caring for them. We suppose that
all kinds of provisions can be had without
going to Chicago, and that it is not even nee
essary to 90 so far to find men who would be
willing to undertake the contract of furnishing
them at reasonable rates.

LoupoN HEIGHTS, Nd. - The following
description of the Union camps on Loudon
Heights, near Harper's Ferry, is taken from
an army letter:
The camps at this place are on the very top
of the mountain. The place is very difficult
of access, and baggage wagons are taken to
the summit with great difficulty. 1t is so
rocky aud uneven up there that it rs almost
impossible to find a place large enough and
smooth enough to lie down upon. 1t is cold
at night and the men have only the very pc or
shelter of what is singularly called the shelter
tent. Water has to be brought up for nearly
a mile, by hand. The prospect is sublime,
grand, and all that; which, to the soldiers, is
not food when hungry, water when thirsty, nor
warmth when the wind blows sharp and cold
and sharp upon them at night. Their health
is stated to be much better, by the inspector,
than would have been expected.

THE YANKEES IN CHINA.-Mr. Ward, the
American who now commands the imperial
army in China, and has met with uniform
good success against the rebels, is true spec
linen of the real live Yankee. He has seen
service in Central and South America and in
the Crimea, and landed in Shanghae few
years since unknown, land with few Mexi-
can dollars in his pocket. The city of Shang-
hae being soon after threatened and pinched
by the native rebels, neither the imperiahsts
nor their allies, the English, could defend it
In this straight Admiral Hope, R. N. proposed
and perfected with him plan by which Mr..
Ward might strike blow at the rebel head
quarters in Soonkong, very well fortified
city on the Woosung river. Ward organized
band, ran up the river, and took the place
by storm, for which service he was paid the
sum of forty thousand silver teels He has
ever since,-athough prosecuted by some few
shallow-pat English cockneys-been re-
garded as power in the empire, and acknowl-
edged as such by the British and French ad-
mirals. He is organizing for new campaign,
and is confident of ultimately quelling the re-
bellion. @

A CoNTENTED PAUPER. - There is at
Wards Island man about fifty years old,
gentlemanly and well educated, who came to
this city from Scotland few years AGO with
fair supply of money. He put up at the As

for time ample remittances from the old
country. After while, however, the remit
tances ceased, and the man, having no trade
or profession, and showing no disposition to
work, gradually fell so low that he was sent to
