DsaT FI,, Press:
1t begins to look very much like doing bust
ness in the State House to-day. Nearly all the
members elect are in town and have selected their
seats in the Representatives Hall. At this hour
only about twenty-five seats remain to be chosen.
The members are enjoying pleasant day in max
iug acquaintance with one another and with the
state House. There is already beginning to be
heard the talk about short session, and l have
heard it proposed TO limit the Session from the
very outset by resolution compelling adjourn
ment after a couple Of weAks or so. The laws we
now have it is said, are good enough to live under
for awhile until better times. Il can hardly be
that the general sentiment Of the House will agree
with this opinion. The men Of legislative expert
ence have not spoken, and when they do we may
perhaps hear from some Of them a different state
ment.
Just at present the election Of Speaker and Clerk
are topics Of conversation. J. G. Smith Of St
Albans, and E. A. Stewart Of Derby, are promi-
nent candidates, for the respective positions. Mr.
Gardner Of Bennington, is also candidate for the
Speakership, sni several have been proposed for
the Clerkship. Mr. Stewards experience as assist
ant Clerk seems likely to secure for him the p,-

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The Governors Message, deliverd d last
Friday. is plain, straight forward
business document, mainly about matters
which are caused by the war, and calls for
neither exp panatioa or comment from us at
this time. The financial business of the
State Is now heavy one for State like
ours 1t demands care and discretion as well
as patriotism from our legislators. They
must look everything squarely in the face
nothing which they ought to look INTO and
take the responsibility Of, must they shuttle
of on to the shoulders Of somebody who is
to come after them. At best, heavy debt
is upon Us which can not be entirely lifted
for many years to come. The credit OF the
State is good. entirely SO, now; and it can be
kept so only by providing by taxation the
means to pay the interest on the debt pune
tually, aud to reduce the principal somewhat
every year.

REBEL THREATS.

The raviugs in rebeldom, because Of the
Presidents proclamation, are characteristic.
In the rebel Congress they propose to fight
under the black flg-that is, to give no
quarter, and III the Virginia Legislature,
they adopt jointresolution, to exempt from
all trial or imprisonment, any one who shall
Dive out Of the State, no matter by what
means, or even kiH, any one found aiding or
abetting, or in any way giving effect to what
they call 1.-THE llVless and fendish proclana-
ti0n Of President Lincoln to liberate the
slaves"
Who can deny that the direct tendency Of
slavery Is to make those who practise it bar
5lrilrs? OF course, these fsrocious propo-
slt.9ns are intended to frighten the Govern
ment from It's position and Union soldiers
from their duty. It is no new thing for pi.
rates to fight under black hag-the effect
being to make the civilized world so much
the more united and resolute to destroy them
from the face Of the earth.

One man Of the Bradford Company declined to
take the oath, but thought better of it shortly,
and with tears begged the privilege Of taking it,

that the man, was one who served in the First

MONTPELIER, Oct.

Montpelier has been full Of people to day. The
pleasant weather has been favorable to an observ-
ance OF Election Day, a time set part for con-
gregating at the capital feasting upon gingerbread
and aPples, and beholding the wonders Of legis>
lation. I notice that the throngs who visit the
State House pause at the door TO take look at
the Statue Of Ethan Allen. and often N Ike seme
remarks that may be termed criticism. In most
instances, If you pause to listen, you will hear
lauiatory words; and each observer seems to vie
with all the others in finding language to express
his appreciation Of the Statue. In one
instance however, man whom can hardly believe
to have been Vermonter, said to me, referring to
the support Of the statue, which is shaped like
the base Of a tree, "Mr. Allen looks as il he had
just jumped over = stump" It was the only word
Of depreciation had heard.
Among the officers elected to-day you will notice
the name Of Charles Allen Of Burlington, elected
to the Assistant secre,aTyship Of the Senate. OF
posed to him was NJ . R. Tyler, who held the posi-
tion LAST year. Both of these candidates are
gradustes Of Vermont University, aud every way
fitted for tie position they sought. The vote cast
was honorable to both certainly, ly,-fourteen to six
teen.
You have heard before that the candidates
referred to II my last as prominent, were elected

Hon. John Gregory Smith bids fair TO be sue

dress was excellent certainly, and we'll delivered
OF the ability Of the Clerk elect it is perhaps too
soon to speak now; but judging from his success
as assistant he cannot fail to answer the e1pecta
ton OF the Bouse.
There is talk to-day Of lengthy Session; and

fore the Legislature justihe, the prediction that

AFFAIRS IN SAvaNSAH.-The New York
Times publishes a report by Mr.. a. G Spen-
Ger, New Yorker, for two years a resident
in Savannah, who made his escape from
there a week ago last Friday. lie says that
the available rebei troops in and around the
city were not over 5000. Every point was
fortified, however, and it was reported that
10000 troops were to be sent there as garri-
son. The blockade he considers almost per-
feet. Flour wss $40 barrel, with a small
suFQly, as the wheat crop had failed The
corn crop had been good, however, and was
selling at 50 cents per bushel. Tea was
worth SO pound, coffee IS cents, butter

Is great suffering among the poor. The pop
ulation Of the city was reduced more than
ons-third, and business was at a standstill.
The CONSUMPTION has been very thorough and
almost every, man between Is aud 35 years,
is in the reb-l army. There are two floating
batteries, the Georgia and the FIngal, both
heavily armed, hut the former useless for Of
fensive warfare.

The following story Is told OF one of the
late skIrmishes near Iuka
The rebels planted battery under cover
OF the wood and fired one round about five
O'Clock IA the afternoon
Our men were immediately drawn into
line Of battle, and opened responsive five,
which lasted till dusk, when the firing ceas
ed, and on investigation 1t was found that
the rebels must have retreated after their
fret shot, as no killed or wounded were TO
be seen, and the rebels were discovered some
miles below by scouts who had been out and
returned near dusk. They had been firing
into an empty wood at a few spiked guns for
nearly two hours, deceived by the report of
their own noise, no doubt. into the belief
that thty were giving the rebels warm re-
ceptIOn.
: Ansell Fuller, of Island Pond, was az
raigned in the u. s. Circuit Court, on Tues.

sented by the Grand Jury against him, for
procuring soldier to desert from the 10Th

The BATTLE OF ANIIETAH.-The Charles
ton Courier's correspondent, who the Rich
moud Wing says has given the only report
published of the battle near Sharpsburg,
says the Federal force engaged was nearly
200 600. and the rebel force not more than
0,OO0. He claims a victory, which saws
he, 20 600 more men could not under the
circumstances have rendered more complete.
We took few prisoners, not more than SIX or
seven hundred IN all. The Fedeials fought
well and were hardled in a mastery manner
but their losses have been immense. \ gen
tleman who has been an actor in all our bat
ties informed me that be never even upon the
bloody field Of Manassas, saw 50 many dead
men before. The ground was black with
them, and according!to his estimate the Fed
erals had lost eight to our one" " The
great balls and shells OF the enemy have been
thrown with wonderful accuracy. The in
structions of Gen. Lee are thst there shall
be no more artillery duels. Instead, there
fore, of endeavoring TO silence the enemy's
guns, Col. Walton directs his artillery to re-
ceive the FIRE of their antagonists quietly and
direct their own against the Federal infant
". The wisdom OF the order is apparent at
every shot, for with the overwhelming num-
bers of the enemy, they might have defeated
Us at the outset. but for the powerful and
well directed adjuncts we possessed in our
heavy guns"

and that a considerable portion of this bai-
lance will be drawn for by the opening Of
| the Legislature"
The action OF the Legislature Of las, year,
| in providing for the payment Of the extranr-
/ dlnary expenses incurred tor war purposes,
| partly by direct taxation and partly by Is
suing State Bonds appears to have been wise
ia principle. II would seem desirable to
/ place a considerable portion OF the appro-
| priati0ns necessary to Ue made for war ex-
psnses, IN the form of a funded debt. The
people should not now be overburdeaed with
taxation. as, in many ways, they have large
sacrifices TO make for the support of the Gov
ernment AM the defence Of the Country
and our present sacrifices being even
move for p0sterity than for ourselves, we can
not doubt that those who come after Us will
be able and willing t. share with US the pc
cuniary burdens now involved.
