MaHcncster, May 81
The case of the state of Vermont .. Hen
nv E. Miner, editor OF the Manchester Jour
nal tried to-day was one of the most exciting
events which has TRANSFERRED of late in this
locality. The Court House was crowded by
persons from all points in this vicinity The
defence was conducted by E. B. Burton of
this place and D. E. Nicholson of Walling-
ford. 7gA. 1YDw COOS. E.E.Eg !
The facts in the case were these The
person struck, one Marvin Dole, Las been,
since the rebellion broke out, an avowed
sympathizer with the rebels. He has taken
pains to express his infamous sentiments in
! the most offensive manner in the places of
public resort. He had been frequently warn
ed, and once or twice by Miner, to deslst
| from bis blantant treason, or suffer the conse-
quences.
| Making frequent use of such expressions
as the following-'I hope that every Fed.
eral soldier who steps on to the soil of the
South will be shot by the rebels, or struck
with lightning by God Almigh s." When
Ellsworth was murdered he said-"Good-
Jackson is the man for me. He served ELS
worth just right. ! would give five dollars
to build monument for Jackson" r
On the 18th inst. Miner was seated on the
steps of the hotel where he boarded, engaged
in conversation. Dole came up and entered
into the conversation, sustaining the rebe
cause, saying, among other things, in an ex
ultant manner, 3" You id Black Repub

The English .journ ais continue to expatiate
on the retreat from Yorktown and the fall of
New Orleans.
The Times treats the retreat from York
and says if Richmond is captured it will be a
tremendous victory to the tederals. 1t meta
phorically enlargrs on the difficulties that
must arise in governing the south when the
federnls, by continued victories, have brought
the secessionists within their power.
The Daily News says, although the tall OF
New Orleans, in military sense, cannot be
overrated, it is of far greater Importance in
Its social, commercial and political results, as
the possession Of the Mississippi opens the
way for the industrirl energy offreedom, and
altogether destroys the political position and
territorial prestige of the southern confedera-
cy. The great territories of the west are lost
to the slave confederation, and this alone is a
spent in the war 1t is an enormous gain,
not only for the Union but for Europe, for
humanity and civilization.

FINANCE AND BUsNEss.-S Says the
Boston Post Money continues to be I'M
comfortably abundant, and although le-
climate rates cannot be quoted as lower,
capital has been offered and refused at
three per cent. in large sums, with no
prospect of change. OF course the
stock market feels the influence Of such a
state Of things, and sound stocks with
Government securities are we'll sustained.
General business is dull, but hopeful
feeling exists, and the community seems
to be waiting patiently for the close Of the
war, which we have no doubt is uear al
hand. Foreign exchange is firm at ia
to ia IA, and gold has advanced during
the week the shipments to Europe on
Saturday were $569, 900; the North Star
from California on Friday brought about
the same amount. Most of the gold sold
here is sent to New York, and some Of

EyThe alacrity with which Norther

@The alacrity with which Northern
men are leaping to their arms, in re-
spouse to the call of the President is in
most remarkable contrast to the dragging
process with which the rebel ranks have
been lately filled by the most relentless
CONSUMPTION the world ever saw. There
is no discoverable abatement in the readi-
ness of the North to rally again for the
old flag. There is not the slightest doubt
that another army Of six hundred thou
sand volunteers might be raised, were
there need, within as brief a period as
the first. Patriotic determination rules
the day just as universally and supremely
as it did year or six months ago. The
fact manifests itself SO splendidly that the
untoward occasion which has made the
Presidents call necessary may be almos
regarded as veritable advantage.

RADICALISM.

The New York Tribune, in allusion to
the charges of fanaticism made so often by
the "Democracy' against the Republican
Party, and the alleged necessity for a Soon
servative" party to take its place, very Justly
and very properly says:
"We protest, once for all, against the as
sumption that the Republican Party has, in
any offensive sense Of the word, been "radi-
CAL Considering all things, the world has
reason to be astonished at the moderation
which it has displayed. The glib talk about
0fanaticism" had no meaning when it was so
freely INDUCED in BY our opponents during
the Presidential Election-no more that
now when it is quite as freely employed by
some Of eur pretended trends. Its use is a
gratuitous employment of an offensive and
meaningless nickname, quite cut Of place in
discussions SO grave as these are. The Re-
publicans do not profess to love Slavery
nor Shareholders as such they do not pretend
to desire any patched-up treaties or to seek
for hallow truces they would gladly see the
cause Of this wicked rebellion vanish with
the rebellion itself; they desire not only a
present triumph of the laws, but security for
the future loyalty of reckless and desperate
men but, with all their stiffest opinions and
all their most ardent hopes, they have never
dreamed for moment Of transcending Con-
stitutional limits or of indulging in unworthy
revenge. All speculations, therefore, which
presuppose that any considerable body of the
members of our Party can be driven out Of
organization by the performance in It's coun-
ellis of moderate and prudent policy, are
at once absurd and insulting-and, as the
event will prove, came from what quarter
they may, they will certainly be so regarded

Gov. SPRAGUE ELECTED u. 8. SEN
