From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
The New Ballad Of Lord Lowell.

Lord Lowell he sat in st. Charles, Hotel,
In St. Charles Hotel sat he.
As fine case of a Southern swell
As ever you would wish to see--see-see,
As ever you would wish to see.
Lord Lowell the town had vowed to defend,
As waving his sword on high,
He swore that his last ounce of powder ne d
spend, . .# .
And in the last ditch he Il die
He swore by black and he swore by blue,
He swore by the stars and bars,
That never he d fly from a Yankee crew
While he was son Of Mars.
He had fifty thousand gallant men,
Fifty thousand men had he,
Who all swore with him that they'd never
Surrender to any tarnation Yankee.
He had forts that no Yankee alive could take,
He had iron-clad boats u score,
And batteries all around the Lake,
And along the river shore.
Sir Farragut came with mighty feet,
With a mighty fleet came he,
And Lord Lowell instanter began to retreat,
DeioIe the first boat he could see.
HIS nifty Thousand gallant men
Dwindled down to thousands six
They heard the distant cannon and then
Commenced a cutting their sticks.
"Oh tarry, Lord Lovell- Sir Farragut
cried,
'sOh tarry. Lord Lowell T. said he:
81 rather think not, Lord Lowell replied,
'For am in a great hurry
81 like the drinks at the st. Charles Hotel
But | never could bear strong Porter.
Especially when i'll served on the shell,
Or mixed in an iron mortar
81 reckon you re right" Sir Farragut said
Il reckon you re right, said he,
.For if my Porter should fly at your head
A terrible smash there d be. -
Oh wonder it was to see them run,
wonderful thing to see.
And the Yankees sailed up without shoot
ing a gun,
Aud captured their great city.
Lord Lowell kept running all day and al
night,
Lord Lowell a running kept he,
For he swore he could mt abide the sight
Of the gun of a live Yankee.
When Lord Lovelrs life was brought to
close
by sharp-shooting Yankee gunner,
From his head there sprouted red, red nose
From his fect-a Scarlet Runner.

For the Educational Column Of the IuteIligenccr
VENTILATION,

Why do We have so many dull and
listIess scholars in school, and even
listeners to the Word of God on the
Sabbath The answer is often found
in the close, confined and inn
pure air of the place. Many teach.
ers and preachers never appear to
have made this important discovery.
Every church, school-room, kitchen.
sleeping-room, workshop or manufac-
tory, should have some SYSTEMATIC
plan of ventilation very open struc-
tnres may not require this, but places
as close as most churches, school
houses, and dwellings are, do abso-
lutely require something of this kind.
The best plan in a church or school
house is to have ventilator placed
overhead, and So constructed that it can
be closed in cold weather if desired.
A square or round opening or "scut-
tie" that can be covered with a
board, is easily made, and will an
swer. The next best method is to low
er the upper sash of window, part
or all of the way owing to shrinking
and swelling of the wood, this is not
so easily done. E1~
We desire to call attention to the
subject treated upon by our cores
pondcnt, especially as far as it relates
to school-houses. There has been iu
the past but little attention paid to
this in the erection of our country
school-houscs, many of them being
built with but seven or eight feet "bc.
tween joints and with no provision
either for the ingrcss of pure air or the
egress of impure air. The eensequcr>
ces to scholars, of being compelled
to spend six long hours each day, brea-
thing the pestIlential atmosphere cx-
halcd from q score or two of lungs.
can be readily conceived by all who
have any knowledge of the laws oF
health by which we arc governed anu
we very much question the benefit OF
an education, even if one could be Oh
tainad under such circumstances, pur-
chased, as it would be, at the expense
of health, for we have no doubt thai
many have contracted disease in suci,
buildings, from which they have new
er recovered.
We would urge upon all who have
control of school-houses, the utmost
Importance of providing ample means
of ventilation

BYR.P. WALTON.
MONTPELIER, SEPTEMBER 10, 1862.
HON. J. DORR BRADLEY.

IL is with great sorrow that we record the
death Of this distinguished gentleman, at his
residence in Brsttleboro' on the 9Th instant.
We learn that he was taken severely in with
fever some three weeks since, and that his
disease made rapid progress. until it quenoh-
ed one Of the most cultivated intclects and
genial hearts, that our State has produced.
Mr.. Bradley was eldest son Of the Hon. VIM.
G. Bradley Of Westminster He was we be-
licve, graduate Of Harvard College. He has
been a successful and eminent advocate and
lawyer for more than twenty FIVE years in
Brattleboro'. lie had a discerning, rapid and
comprehensive mind ,--an elegant and varied
culture. He was quick and ardent in his
sympuhies. lover Of truth and justice, and
ieryid hater Of all shams and Hypocrisy
lie was member, for Bratteboro', Of the
House Of Representatives for the two years
in which the State House controversy was
waged, and distinguished himself as the
leader in debate, in that most exalted and
brilliant conflict. If it had not been for tho
indrmity Of his deafness, which prevented
his hearing all the points Of dis ussion, no
man that Vermont has produced would have
surpassed him in the debates Of the halls OF
legislations.
But whatever might have been the quail.
ties that dtted him for a public career, he wa.
most eminent in social and private life. His
rare stores of information aud culture, were
open to his friends, and he had few equals in
the genial exchanges and conversations oi
social life. His reading was extensive and
recharche bis memory was retentiye; his
style Of conversation was playful and capti-
waiting, and always appropriate to his theme
his perceptions were quick and vivid his H.
lustraiions apt and beautiful, and his whole
air and manner, reminded US Of the school OF
the elder times in which he had his training
The death Of such man is public calamity,
and in common with his nearer associates and
neighbors and friends, we would lay small
tribute Of our high appreciation Of his worth,
on his fresh made grave.
