After which the Convention adjourned
with three cheers for the Union.
Johnson Brass Band attended the Con-
vention, and formed very interesting
feature of the proceedings. This is now
the only band in the county. We hope
it will keep up its organization and con-
tinuc its practice, for there are many oc-
casions in the course of q year when the
music of Brass Band would seem to be
an almost indispensable accompaniment.
People must not forget, however, that
much practice is necessary in order to be
able to play we'll, and that Yankees do
not usually feel inclined to aoaste a great
deal, either of time or labor. Su6Stan-
tial encouragement, therefore, will DOUBT
less be appreciated by the Band.
We would say to the Band, that we

CHANGING to be in this place for short
time, perhaps little something in relation
to matters in this section may not be
amiss.
Farmers in this section have suffered
quite as severely for want of rain as in
Lamoille County. One of them told me
that he should hardly get 10 tons of hay
this year where he got 100 last. Other
crops have not suffered SO badly, though
corn is looking dreadfully thinned and
uneven, and very late.
Recruiting for the new levy seems to be
going on pretty lively, though Vermont
seems to be about days ahead. Every
body, however, is enthusiastic, and fully
determined that the " Union must and
shall be preserved" | do not think so
great a proportion Of the young men of
this section have volunteered as in our
own, "Spunky Lomoille."
There seems to be general satisfaction
in relation to the manner in which the
administration of the general government
is conducted, though many are inclined
to think there must be screw loose some
where, or Mcclellan would have been sup
piled with sufficient force to enable him,
not only to maintain his position, but
to make an advance on Richmond.
Travel in this direction is fully up to
the average. Of the Hotels, we must say
that this house is good place to stop.
Mr.. Tollman, the proprietor, is attentive
and pleasant, the table girls are prompt,
and the coffee is good, and the other fix
ings ditto In short, this is a first class
house. Col. Keller, Of the American,
could hardly furnish more pleasant
place of retreat and all who are acquaint-
ed with his manner of Keeping Hotel
know he is hard to beat. Of the conduct
ors on the Northern N. Y. Railroad, we
can say they are very accommodating good
fellows. Night trains are furnished with
sleeping Accommodations. / did not try
them, however, though l came from Rou-
SEES Point to this place in the night. l
shall try it if have occasion to ride in
the night again, for what is the small
sum of fifty cents in comparison to the
loss of the ability to do business the next
day. S. H. Jr.

message, then but recently sent in docl..
cd with singular unanimity the obiecto 90
the war, and the country instantly bound
ed to your side to assist you in carrvinn
it on. If the spirit Of that resolution b.I
been adhered to, we are confident that ~.
should before now have seen the end 90
this deplorable conflict But what b,vo
we seen? In both houses of Congress ".
have heard doctrines subvcrsive Of tbo
principles of the constitution, and ,aon
measure after measure founded in sinh
stance on those doctrines proposed and
carried through, which can have no Oh
er effect than to distract and divide ,ov.,
men, and exasperate and drive furtbo,
from us and their duty the people of tba
rebellious states. Military officers, toI
lowing these bad examples, have steppea
beyond the just limits of their AUTHORITY
in the same direction, until in several in
stances you have felt the necessity Of in.
terfering to arrest them. And even tba
passage of the resolution to which Won 70
fer has been ostentatiously proclaimed as
the triumph of principle which the peo-
pie of the southern states regard as ruin
Gus to them. The effect of these meas
ures was foretold, and may now be seen
in the indurated state of southern feel.
ing 10 these causes, Mr.. President, and
not to our omission to vote for the resolu
ton recommended by you, we solemnN
believe we are to attribute the terrible
earnestness of those in arms against the
government and the continuance of the
war. Nor do we (permit us to say Mr..
President, with all respect for you,) agree
that the institution of slavery is the
lever of their power but we are of the
opinion that the lever of their power is
the apprehension that the power of com,
mon government, created for common and
equal protection to the interests of all,
will be welded against the institutions of
the southern states"

Mr.. EDITOR Sir; ] saw in your pa
per of the 18th inst, a statement per-
porting to be official, that Irasburgh had
sent but twenty nine men to the war. |
wish to say that that statement is very
far from correct, for this town has sent
over fifty men to the war; and we have
now enlisted in the 10th regiment, seven
out of thirty men enlisted here. ! say
men for such they are, every one of them
who have enlisted in the 10th here.

SOLDIERS REST, WASHINGTON,
ID. c., July Is, 1862.

H. W, oul 10, loo@'
Mr.. EDITOR We have at last arrived
at Washington. We started from Camp
Davis, Tuesday morning, the rain pour
ing in torrents and continuing nearly
through the day. We took the cars at
a. M, surrounded by hundreds of friends,
who babe us God speed and safe return.
Passing down through the beautiful val
of the Connecticut, we were received by
the people with cheers and much enthusi-
assn. At Springfield we were supplied
with dinner provided by the citizens of
that place. A band was at the Depot
! playing sweet strains of music, while a
cannon, manned by the sturdy sons of
Springfield, fired national salute. AT
North Hampton we were all refreshed
with water cooled with ice We arrived
at New Haven at p. m. and went on
board the Steamer Bay State, which start
ed up the Sound. At IL IL p. m. we
anchored for the night. In the morning
we passed up through Hurl Gate, and
landed at pier No. 90 We there formed
in line and marched up 23d street to Mad
ison Square where we arrived at s, a. M,
Wednesday. The sons of Vermont furn-
ished us with good dinner, under the
superintendent of Col Howe The Off
GERS went to the 9Th Avenue Hotel, where
they partook of an excellent collation.,
also furnished by the sons of Vermont.
At 3 p. m, we partook of another excel
lent meal and at p. m, we started on
our line of march once more down Mad
ison Avenue, through some other street
into Broadway, stopping at the Metropol-
itan Hotel, where Mrs. Lincoln was stop
ping, The drum corps gave her a part
ing salute, and then at Col Howe's estab-
lishment we were cheerd and guns were
fired from the roof of his building; flags
were flying from every window, and cheer
after cheer went up from the gathering
multitude. Passing on down Broadway
to the battery we went on board the boat
for Amboy. We were escorted through
the streets of New York by the sons of
Vermont, preceded by squad of police.
Horace Greedy was with the sons of YER
mont acting as color guard suppose, as
he walked the whole length of the line
under the banner, borne by the sons of
Vermont. At the Pier Mr.. Greeley made
as very good parting speech, which was
received with cheers from the soldiers
We next landed at Amboy, took the cars
for Camden, where we arrived at 2 q. M,
on Thursday. Once more we changed
for boat, crossed over to Philadelphia
where we found table bountifully sup
piled with eatables. After we finished
our repast We marched nearly two miles,
to the Baltimore R. r. Depot; took the
cars once more, and started at 6, a. m.
for Baltimore.
We arrived at Midtown, Baltimore
at 2 p M, and partook of an excellent
dinner, and at p. M, took cattle cars for
Washington, where we arrived at 10, p.
m, we'll tired out. Cattle cars are an ex-
cellent institution for tired soldiers, and
especially sick ones.
1t rains beautifully here to-day. We
do not know our destination yet, but we
expect to find it soon. Most of the boys
are we'll yet, but worn out by the journey.
Yours Truly, HORACE.

BRAVE EsOYS ARE TEzEY.
BYH.c. WORK.
Heavily falls the rain,
Wild are the breezes to night;
But beneath the roof the hours as they fly,
Are happy and calm and bright.
Gathering round our fireside,
Though it be summer time,
We sit and talk of brothers abroad;
Forgetting the midnight chime.
CHORUS:
Brave bows are they,
Gone at their cOuntry's call;
And yet, and yet we cannot forget
That many brave boys must fall.
Under the homestead roof,
Nestled so COW ard warm;
While soldiers sleep. with little or naughs
To shelter them from the storm.
Resting Oh grassy couchcs,
Pillow'd on hlllockS damp;
Of martial fare, how little we know,
Till brothers are in the camp.
Thinking no less of them,
Lovirg our country the more,
We sent them forth to fight for the flag
Their fathers before them bore.
Though the great tear drops started,
This was our parting tr;ist:
Col bless YOU, boys. We'll welcome YOU home
When rebels are in the dust.
Nav the bright wings Of love
Guard them wherever they roam;
The time has come when brothers must fight
And sisters must pray at home.
Oh. the dread field OF battle
Soon % be strewn with graves.
If brothers must fall. then bury them where
Our banner i'll triumph waves
