VERMONT ITEMS.

The Burlington Times says that John
Montbellon, Canadian, who has run wa
ter cart in that village for many years,
few days ago, drove, with his aquiferous We
hicIe, for the purpase Of cleaning it, into the
lake near the passenger depot OF the Rutland
and Burlington Railroad Unfortunately,
be soon got beyond his depth, and his horse
met with watery grave. Montbellon him
self came near being drowned, being in the
water fifteen minutes before he was res
cued by some of the employees of the rail-
road, who were at work near by.

Springfield are without hotels, the landlords
Of those places having " shut up shop" be-

LATE News. - Gen. Butler is pur-
suing strong and decisive course in
New Orleans. He has suppressed the
Delta and the Bee for advocating the de-
struction of produce. He has arrested
several British subjects for giving aid to
the rebels. He has seized a large guam
tity ofspecie belonging to the rebels from
the office of the consul for the Nethheer-
lands has stopped the circulation of Con-
federate paper money, and has distributed
among the suffering poor the provisions
intended tor the support of the rebel SOL
diers. And more; he has taken the wife
Of Gen. Beauregard-who was found to
be in New Orleans-under his care and
protection, just as Gen. Mcclellan has
done the wife of the rebel General Lee,
in the neighborhood of Richmond.
The letter of Jacob Barker, of New
Orleans, takes strong ground against cot
ton burning. He also shows up The trea
son of the Southern members of the last
Congress. This letter is an admirable
preparation of the way for the avowed ex-
preston of Unionism which has been
heretofore compulsorily dormant in Louis
lana and other portions of rebeldom.
| The article from the New Orlans Bee
"a covert justification of the destruction
of eotton-which caused the suppression
Of that paper and the Delta, will also be
found among our New Orleans news
The reader will be fully satisfied of the
| justice of Gen. Buffers course in sup
pressing such journals as the two before
mentioned, after perusing the Bees edi
torial of the 18th.
Our Fortress Monroe correspondent
mentions the fact that Col. j. F. Hanson
of a rebel Kentucky regiment, who was
sent by flag of truce to be exchanged
for the gallant Col. Corcoran, has become
disguised with the rebels and the rebel
lion, and will take the oath of allegiance
He returned to Fortress Monroe whel
the rebels denied an exchange for Col
Corcoran, and was sent to Washington a
his own request, after having been offer
ed his parole, which he has refused. FL
says that he would rather be prisone
among gentlemen than free man anon
villains. s. Exchange.

The FUGITIVE SLAVE LAw.-R

The FUGITIVE SLAVE LAw.-Re-
Gently, John Dean, Esq, presented to
the Circuit Court the petition of Daniel
Breed for writ of habeas corpus to Mar
shall Lamon for the discharge of colored
man, claimed by citizen of Maryland
as his slave, on the ground that said a.
legged fugitive is illegally detained, and the
restraint and imprisonment are not author
lied by the Fugitive Slave law of 1856
in other words that the law does not APP
ply to the District of Columbia. Mr..
Dean to-day continued his argument to
show the writ could not be refused. The
Court had previously minated they
would not grant the prayer, and to-day
said an appeal could be taken to the SUI
preme Court of the United States on the
refusal, just as well as upon the writ.
Further argument will be heard to-mor-
row. The Fugitive Slave law continue:
te be enforced. During this month abou
fifty slaves have been returned to theil
claimants.

EWe do not believe Gen. Butler has
issued the order attributed to him about
the women of New Orleans but if he
has, it is nothing in comparison with the
offences committed by officers in the Sc
cesh army. When the Confederates
evacuated Williamsburg, Gen. Magruder
brought away six women who were sus-
pected Of being friendly to the Union
cause, in order to guard against their CIV
ing information. After being held cap
tives two or three days they we're set at
liberty, and arrived at West Point lately,
where they stated to Gen. Franklin that
their persons had been violated by Gen
Magruder and other officers high in rank

The CASE OF Coz. CoRooRAN.-The
return to Fortress Monroe Of Col. Han
son, Of the Second Kentucky Regiment,
rebel army, who was sent to Gen. Huger'
BY Gen Wool, to be exchanged for Col
Corcoran, and the report that Gen. Huger
declined to effect the exchange, has Gre
ated considerable surprise throughout the
country. Letters from Gen. Wool ex-
plain the matter by giving the reply OF
Gen. Huger, which is, that no more ex-
changes will be made until the privateers-
men in our possession are delivered up
II will be remembered that the rebels
held Coils. Corcoran and Wilcox and
others as hostages to be treated as the
privateersmen were, but it was not sup
pssed that they were to be exchanged
only for those. Nice, however, as is the
requirement Of the rebels, it will probably
be speedily granted. The privateersmer
are already at Fortress Monroe, and Mr.
Odell goes thither tomorrow to see that
they are promptly sent to Gen. Huger
and hoping to return in = few days, bring
ing Coils. Corcoran and Wilcox, and Unier
prisoners to the number Of pirates viii

ablest of Statesmen, the noblest Of Patriots,
the purest ofNen,and the wisest ofhdnag-
ers-has through his exertions effected the
formation of a Statistical B,Teau--of
whice j. A. Wheelock is Commissioner.
Mr.. Wheelock is brilliant writer,--a
laborious student,-of high moral charac-
ter and social position, and will forward to
any one seeking information,-a copy OF
highly interesting book-just published
by the State-entitled: MINNESOTA; ITS
PROGRESS AND CAPABILITIES! Mr..
Wheelock's address is st. Paul, MINI.
What is the population of 81. Paul, and
,ohat are its pecuharitiess
Its population is between 10000 and
10000. Its peculiarities are many! 1t

cation on theMississippi-2l0O miles from
New Orleans. 1t is also just below the
junction of the Mississippi and Minnesota
rivers; is the outlet of all the vast North
west British Possessions; is the Capital Of
the State is the most beautiful city Of its
size in the world /; is abundantly supplied
with the purest of spring water; has the
best of building stone enough within its

There is no place in the known world
where wool-producing can be so success
fully managed. The long pleasant sum-
mers the sweet, nutritious native grass
es; the dry invigorating winters; and the
remarkable purity of the waters-all COM
bined, tend to produce the most oily
the longest, finest and heaviest feeces il
the world,-as is universally testified to
by all wool raisers in the State.
Hon. much later is their spring than IN
Neao England?
1t is earlier Snow first begins to melt
in New England, but when the Minnesota
spring once opens, it has no retarding
chills or frosts; and garden vegetables
are usually found in the market from six
to ten days earlier than in the eastern
states.
Are not the D,nters gerry severe and
gloomy @ srr.s.. .....e.s
1t is the pleasantest part of the year
Snow falls to the depth Of about four
inches,-the latter part of November and
there remains-with the thermometer but
few degrees above zero-for about four
months, the air being dry, pure and invig-
Grating, and offering an almost certain cure
for all lung difficulties. 1t is this dryness
of atmosphere, and ready relief that it af-
lords to all ague and consumptive COM
plants that has given the State the name
of NATURES HosPITAL, by which it is so
extensively known.
Which is the best route TO Minnesota!
For New Englanders, the best route is
by the way of Albany, Rochester, Niagara
Falls and Detroit, and thence by theMich
igan Central road to Chicago; and from
there by the Northwestern road to La
Crosse-where large and splendid boats
are starting on the arrival Of every train
for st. Paul, and usually run the route
in about eighteen hours. The advantages
ofthis route are speed, scenery and free
dom from the annoyances of frequent and
expensive changes. By this route you are
landed in Chicago-at the Union Depot,
and baggage is transported free of charge
Ito the Northwestern road. Another
desirable feature-a ''stop over" check can
be obtained at Niagara Falls-that will
enable the traveller to view to his hearts
content this grandest of Natures flowers
and to examine the world renowned Sus
pension Bridge-which is now universally
acknowledged to be the finest specimen O
human ingenuity and skill on the face o
the globe. "

the Common Council at Memphis met and re-
solved that they would defend the city to the
last. Their bellgerent resolves and flourish Of
words gave the public the impression that
Memphis was the last ditch. Our rams went
down the river, met and demolished the rebel
rams, the city quietly surrendered, and the
