SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO VERMONT SOL
DIERS,

We have seen letter from Capt. H. R.
Stoughton, of Co. i, End Regiment, U. S.
s. S., Augur's Brigade, to the Governor
of Vermont, giving the condition of the
2ud Company Vt, Sharp Shorters, and the
details of a serious accident that befell
some of the men. The letter is dated
Haymarket Va, June 4th, and from it
we make the following extract :--Phsnir.
"We are reduced to small working
numbers by sickness and discharge, SO
much so that of the 81 men / brought
from Vermont, l could only march "a
last Thursday, when we started to the
assistance of Gen. Banks in the Shenan-
doah Valley. We marched Thursday
and Friday distance of 45 miles and on
Saturday took the cars at Catlett's Sta
tion for Front Royal, and proceeded via
Manassas junction, through Thorough
fare Gap, and beyond that point about 10
miles, when train following ours ran
into our train and wounded about % of
my men, rendering them unfit for duty,
at least for a while-seven of whom were
a good deal injured but | think not be-
yond recovery. Both Licutcnants were
slightly injured and do not report for du-
ty for few days. The manner in which
we were injured was as follows: my com.
pany were in box car and another com.
pany on platform Car in our rear when
the train ran into us it drove the platform
car entirely through one car and it is 9
wonder it did not kill any Of the men
One other company suffered in similar
manner only they had one man killed
This reduction leaves only about 80 mel
all told that report for duty. | think il
a few days we shall be able to count on ;
few more, but such an accident as tina
was uses up men more than any one cal
tell. Many of their injuries are internal
rendering medical aid almost of no avail
time only can effect a cure"

large field more fertile.
There are many fields that could be
made more productive by this means, and
water could be carried across some hol-
lows in wooden spouts and then pay.
The drain of barn yards, especially, should
be distributed upon the surface; and not
carried off under ground.
One of my neighbors being influenced
by the cry about draining, cut an open
ditch through piece of wet land, which
so sensibly reduced the yield that he fill
ed it up again.

Answer-0nly all you can to prop up
and strengthen these sentiments -
1st. God and our duty.
I'd. Our Union and it's constitution.
Sd, Death to traitors.
'Tis all, sad, sad, sad, but we must not
weep, but be up and doing.
Question-Do you think Lincoln will
be sufficient for the crisis?
Answer know no man more capable;
would to God he were there now. Firm,
yet just; patriotic, yet moderate; fearless,
yet upright. My motto at this time is,
Art gives us means and God the strength

The southern papers have lately been
publishing a prophetic paper written sew
eral years ago by Prof Baldwin, of the
Soule female college, the substance of
which is that the great battle of Arma-
geddon was to take place between 1862
and 1866, in the valley of the Mississip-
pi. The Mobile Register attaches so
much Importance to the discovery" as
to remark that " the bare fact of such an
Interpretation of prophecy having been
solemnly published with full belief in its
verify by an earnest and intelligent in
quirer, six years before the commencement
of the prevailing war, is, when connected
with the history of the latter, up to the
present time, and the tremendous event
now impending at Corinth, eminently cal
culated to pique our curiosity, if not te
stimulate our faith" The lapse of " six
years" between the discovery" and tn,
prospective fulGllment of the prophecy, il
regarded by the Register as a signifcan
circumstance. But unfortunately Beau
regard has prevented the fulfllment o
that prophecy by running from Corinth

CURIOUS PROPHECIES.

Charles Partridge of New York publishes
in the Tribune a conversation with the
spirit of Andrew Jackson, which he says
occurred on the Oath of January, 1861.
1t is pity it was not made public before
it was half fulfilled. Old Hickory wrote
as follows through medium -
Like sickened snail has our executive
(Buchannan) sat upon his bench, till the
waters of revolution and madness have
nearly drowned our glorious country; and
now what is to be done? Nothing, moth
ing, by the high heavens, but the iron
mouth and the needle points to drive it
back. AS God lives, the very cotton
will be dyed in blood ere its next harvest.
Question-When will blood begin to
flow?
Answer fear before the advent of the
next administration. They are mad
they can't wait; 0 for fifty thousand
halters
Question--Will the South attempt to
take the capitol?
Answer--Not by an organized force.
Lincoln will be peaceably inaugurated at
Washington. Yes, amid general confus-
ion.
Question-Please say how and when
the war will begin?
Answer---Do you mean where? Yes.
The regular contest will begin by 0
righteous effort on the part of the admin
istration to protect its property at Charles
ton; next on the waters of the great Miss
issippi.
Question--How long will the war con
tinue, and what will be the result?
Answer--Eourteen months; a wipinf
out of the slave system.
Question--Do you see anything for M
to do or say in this crisis ?

A STORY OF COUNTERpARTs.


A quiet, uneventful life was mine, un-
til left the shelter of my fathers roof
in Gorham, and accepted the desk of a
book-kceper in the wholesale clothing es-
tablishment of Shears & Prescott, in the
busy little city of Weston.
But there one fine afternoon in October,
just in the midst of an Indian summer,
| invited Lille Prescott, with whom |
was very nearly in love, to walk in the
park with me.
Her little hand in its delicate little
primrose colored glove, rested on my arm,
her black eyes we're lifted to my face.
| felt particularly tender and confden-
tial, and at peace with all mankind. We
were speaking of the gorgeousness of the
distant hills, clothed as they were in
their mantles Of crimson foliage when |

nor agreeable.

thereabout, cffectually blocked up the
sidewalk before us; indeed, her proper

personifcation of indignation, I observed
it in her expressive countenance
"Madam p / exclaimed, rctreating o
little from the battery of flashing gray
eyes which she caused to bear upon me.
"You needn'nt madam me-" she cried,
waxing rcdder. I'll just trouble you
to settle this little bill" And she thrust
an ominous piece of paper before my eyes,
which read, substantially, to wit:

IRRIGATION.

Vermont is land of hills and valleys,
and what is better, of rivulets, brooks
and rivers
There has been SO much written about
draining off the surplus water from our
farms, that farmers are quito contented to
allow water to run down hill by the short
est possible route; being rather afraid to
allow it to remain on their land but the
present spring with its long succession of
dry DAYS, has shown us the value of wa
ter. By its scarcity grass and grain suf-
fer
Now there are many brooks that might
be conducted by small bitches, from their
natural courses, and be made to spread
over acres of tillago land. A few far
mers have thus considesed their interest
One example is on the farm of Mr.. Dam
iel Chandler, of Berlin, VT, where small
brook is diverted from its course, and
carried along the side of the hill, and
over field in bitches, mostly made by
thcplow The result is plainly seen, in
the Ayxuriant groth Of Vegetation. By
allowing the water to run in one main
ditch, it as conducted to his milk house,
where, with 900 oyershot wheel, its power
does his churMag, and turns bis grind
stone. The water Ia not allowed to over
flow the field in the winter or in haying.
The value is estimated by Mr.. G. at five
hundred dollars. Its yearly value, to
the interest of that money.
Another instance is in Hardwick, on
what is called the Dec farm. The water
is from a swamp, where The drain renders

SYMPATHY.


How strong is the sympathetic tie of
friendship. Perhaps no other attribute
possessed by man so fits him to alleviate
the sorrows of brother and to drop
healing balm into the heart of the afiict-
ed as this. 1t proves the sincerity of as
so,ates and friends and clearly distin-
cuishes the true from the false, in the
hour of adversely. AS is the mind, so is
the impression it leaves, and as is the
character of person, such will be the
influence exerted by him ; for it is i'm
possible to assume effectually "a lovely
character and dispotion. The manners
may be bland and graceful, and
the countenance beam with smiles, but
unless the heart is really kind and SYM
pathetic, futile, indeed, will be all at
tempts to favorably impress the mind of
those with whom we associate, There is
no place so vile, no community SO degrad-
ed, that the power of true sympathy will
not elevate and bless. Persons may try
to avoid its power and escape its influence,
but as we'll might they attempt to exist
independent of Divine support as to dwell
in the atmospere of sympathy and not be
influenced by it. Itperemates all life and
with its golden chain binds closely, heart
to heart. And when a person is once
convinced that there is real affection in
the heart of his associates, he feels that
life is not all dreary, but joyous, and he
gives in return, the same sympathetic
feeling; thus laying the foundation Of
true, lasting friendship.
Blot from the heart the feeling of SYM
pathy, and you rob life of much of its
pleasure and the bri ghtest star of exist.
ence is extinguished when this noble at
tribute is destroyed 1t is, then, the du.
ty of all to cultivate this passion, for il
banishes every appearance of jealousy
hatred and malice Such a fascination i:
there in its power, that no one is desir'
Gus of living without it, for it gllds The
cloomiest hours in life and throws around
them halo of joy, as they realize thai
there are those that would gladly share
their sorrows and heighten their pleas
uses. Is It not because the mother ex
poets it that she rctires to some secluded
spot, afar from the cares and anxieties o.
carth as the day god is gradually sink
ing behind the western hills, and earnest
ly solicits Divine sympathy in behalf o
her beloved though erring son? And il
it not because she obtains it, that sh'
rises with heart of hope and seren'
brow; feeling that she has more than hu
man sympathy? Knowing the power o
sympathy to cheer and bless, we shoult
cultivate and extend it to all around us.
