THE MEN OF VERMONT.
G. w. BELDING.
10. SAMUEL G. CRAFTS.


Samuel Chandler Crafts. the tenth Gov
ernor of Vermont, was born in Woodstock,
in the County of Windham and State of
Connecticut, on the 9th day of October
1868, and graduated at Harvard College
Massachusetts,, in 1890.
His father, Col. Ebenezer Crafts, COM
menced the settlement of the town of
Msnden, the name of which was subse-
quently changed to Crattsbury, in honor
of him, in the summer of 1888. During
that summer, In addition to clearing some
ten or twelve acres Of land, he built q
house and saw mill, commenced the erec-
ton of grist mill, and opened road to
Cabot, about eighteen miles distant.
Having everything in readiness for the
reception of his family. he, accompanied
by his son Samuel G. and the remainder
of the family, moved into Vermont in
February, l79l,--the male members,
with snoe-shoes, drawing the females on
hand-selds from Cabot to Craftsbury-the
snow averaging four feet in depth the en-
tire way. ef
The town was organized by the name
of Craftsbury in March, 1871, and Sam
ucl G. Crafts was elected the first town
clerk, which Office he held till March,
lS29--receiving thirty-seven successive
annual elections. He was also, the same
year, elected the FIRST Justice Of the Peace

THE SOLDIERS DEATH.

Wizards to keep me company over my
breakfast, when the boy who was giving
me change sang out, in ragmuffin blurt,
over his shoulder; There comes an am,
bulance, Bob another feller dead!"
And as my eye followed the toss of the
varlet's ragged cap, saw squad of s or
10 soldiers approaching, on the road from
Alexandria, with reversed arms, followed
by one of the two wheeled vehicles which
answer for both litter and hearsc, and the
polite name of which has now become uni.
versal. The moment after, came the.
sound of the muffled drum, the single tap.
marking the. more prolonged measure of
the funeral march, and slowly and thought
fully the little phalanx Of mourners came
along. And so went the dead soldier past,
the crowded hotel, on his way to the cem--
etry beyond-hls feasting and fighting ALI

that thronged thoroughfare, scarce one

A chase after Jefr. Thomnson.

For some time past it has been reported
that JEFF. Thompson was "across The
lake, at POnohatoola, making great pre-
parations to do something dreadful. the
particulars Of which were not clearly
understood. On Saturday, 18th instant,
Major George G. Strong, with a small
force Of infantry--250 men Of the 10Th
Maine--went on board Of the steamer
Ceres, the object Of the expedition being
to capture the formidable JEFF; the New

TO the pass Manshoe. When Mai Strong
reached the mouth OF theTaniipiho. much
to bis regret he found the bar could not
be crossed by the Cerer, and be instantly
conceived The idea of marching ND TO the
town, some ten miles distant. When the
troops had fairly got in motion, the road
being all the way along the railroad
track, they espied an Indian. who imme-
diately turned and fed toward Che town.
thus prostrating all idea of surprise.-
The Major appealed to his men, and thew
with one voice declared their willingness
to proceed. Upon reaching Ponchatoola,
our soldiers found the place strongly
defended by infantry and a couple Of
pieses of artillery, and an action at once
commenced. The engagement was short
for Che enemy, though in superior force,
soon found that he was being outlanked
aud precipitately fed our loss being
twenty killed and wounded, that of the
enemy much greater.
Among the severely but not fatally
wounded, was Capt Thornton. of the
Twelfth Maine regiment Unhappily, A
surprise of the place was frustrated bv
the Indians information; and JEFF
Thompson, it was learned, had been alb
sent some days at Jackson, Miss. Among
the trophies obtained, however, was Jef1s
swords, presented to him by certain pa
triots of Memphis, his spurs and military
saddle. About twenty-five or thirty
railroad cars, loaded with cotton. sugar
and molasses, belonging to the Confed-
crate Government, were set on fire and
destroyed Having accomplished this,
preparations were made to return, when
our troops discovered that the line of
the track was menaced by the enc
my Infantry, and that two pieces of ar
tillery was planted so as to command the
road. Major Strong said a few words of
encouragement to the men, and started
down the railway track, much of it laid
on tressel- work, built over the swamp.
Strange as it may appear, no casualty
occurred, except the necessity of aban-
doning the severely wounded, among
whom was Capt Thornton. With this
exception, the command safely reached
the Ceres and returned to the city. The
intentions of the expedition of the New
London were frustrated by the water be-
ing too low for the vessel to enter the
Pass. understand that this attack upon
Ponchatoola has created great excitement
along the rebel shores of the Lake, and
as far in the interior as jackson, Miss,
for the rebels were unprepared for such
bold invasion of their territory.

Some weeks ago a delegation repre-
sentng the Christians of Chicago, visited
the President to urge the adoption by
him Of the policy of emancipation. A
Washington correspondent of the SPRING
field Republican narrates the following
little episode in their interview:
A good story is told of Mr.. Lincoln in
connection with the visit Of this delega-
ton. Sometime last winter an old clergy
man Of Springfield, ILL.,, friend Of the
President, came on here and was the guest
of Mr.. lincoln. Selling a favorable OPP
portunity, the clergyman asked the Pres
ident "What, sir, is 10 be your policy on
the slavery question ?" The President
was a. little dashed by the suddenness
of the question, but he replied goodna-
turedly, "Well, your question is rather
a cool one, but ] will answer il by telling
you story. You know Father b., the
old Methodist preacher? and you know
Fox river and its freshets. Well, once
in the presence Of Father b., young
Methodist minister was worrying about

the President, +" / am not going 10 worry

liquidation there was a distinguished
Methodist clergyman who had heard the
story just told, and knew Of the appli-
cation made Of IL by the President.-
When he was introduced 10 Mr.. Lincoln,
he simply remarked, Mr. President, |

and laughed very heartily over IL.

Some of the newspapers, contempo-
rary says, are in doubt as to the reasons
for the wonderful hold which Gen. Nc
Clellan has on the soldiers he leads. The
following paragraph from an editorial of
the New York Tribune, August /, 1861,
tells the whole story, and is as true now
as it was then
But the personal qualities Of Gen. Nc
Clellan. and the characteristics of his
mind, perhaps do more TO inspire conf
! dence in him as leader than any posi-
tive reforms be proposes to effect He
| looks TO his army as an army of men,
and of men who have brains and hearts
and organs of digestion. He has an idea
that upon the bodily comfort and mental
cheerfulness of the individuals depends
the trustworthiness of the consolidated
force Acknowledging the truth of the
saying that what one does for himself is
well done, he attends personally to such
of the details of his camps as he can
reach, and examines single examples of
the mass he is not able to cover. He
comes soon to know the faces of many
of his soldiers, and TO be personally
known by all of them. As an effect
of this, they regard him with an en-
thusiasm which will send them with
shouts into the most desperate fight
inspired by a desire TO win his COM
mendatons. All able generals have
declaredby word and act their beliefin
the truth that personal knowledge or and
acquaintance with the soldier, by his
leader are absolutely necessary for the
full development of the former resources
of bravery. The Little COrppral
could not, in the darkest night of re-
veree, make an appeal TO his troops that
would not be answered with death de-
flying cheer, and the warmth of affection
felt for the great Napoleon was born of
his far-sighted care for the individual
soldier, If there have been hungry men
sent into desperate battle-iields; If Colo
nels and quartermasters have combined
to defraud the Government and cheat the
private Of his comfort; if officers have
sought their own pleasure and forgotten
