PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The past two weeks have been an eventful
period in the history of this rebellion. From
Wednesday the 25th Of June TO Wednesday the
1st of July, a series of battles were daily fought
by our gallant army before Richmond, all the
time contending against an enemy vastly supe-
rior in numbers. For the first three days the
result looked dubious. Our forces were driven
back and forced to retire from their chosen po-
sitions we lost fields, guns, and supplies and
the lives of thousands of brave soldiers in at
tempting to Withstand the hordes of the rebel
armies that under Johnston and Jackson were
thrown upon US. Our Lrave troops were COM
PEELED to change front directly in the face Of an
en- envy, to establish q new base of operations,
and to remove millions of dollars worth of sup
plies to new and distant depot We accom-
pshed all and with loss much less than that
we inflicted on the rebels. The next three days
fighting materially changed the aspect of affairs.
The rebels made their assaults as usual, but their
assaults we're repused with terrible loss to them
and they forced to retire. Our loss during this
week of fighting will be from 10000 to 10000
men. The rebels themselves acknowledge a
loss of over 80 900, while some of our well in
formed officers estimate it at double that num-
Der. All our troops fought bravely and well.
On Friday last our troops gaided another i'm
portant victory over the rebels near Richmond,
when we took 1000 prisoners and several guns.
The fighting on that day revealed the fact that
the rebels feel that their late victories have been
purchased so dearly that they are equivalent to
severe defeats. They seem to have measurably
lost their inclination for such warm receptions
as we have given them. There is now no
doubt that Gen. Mcclellan stands relatively
stronger than before. We have suffered far
less than the rebels. Our general is again on
the advance to Richmond, and with the reduc-
ton of Fort Darling, on the opposite side of
James River and the consequent cooperation
of our gunboats, and the reinforcements that
are now arriving heis sure of accomplishing his
cherished purpose of conquering the rebel
capital. His address to his soldier shows the
true grit, and reveals better than anything else
the confidence of his well appointed army.
1t appears that Gen. Butler is playing rather
sharp game with the Vicksbnrghers. They
have opposed the progress of the gunboats so
savagely, and in their position had power to
give SO much trouble that he has placed 5000
contrabands at work to- dig canal across the
neck of peninsular, formed by long bend in
the river, and so as to give passage that will
leave Nicksburgh to the quiet work of taking
care OF itself. BY this canal, the channel of the
Mississippi will be changed forever. Vcks,urgh
will be made essentially an inland town, and
our boats, as well as the boats of commerce.
can slip by the bluffs and batteries of Vicks-
burgh without saying-"by your leave"
From other quarters there is no intelligence
of importance.

Showing difference IN the aggregate OF 1867
gain.
In the matter of hardness, the change is still
more gratifying. During the first term of last
year the aggregate amount of hardness was
105S-during the past term 1923, showing gain
of $50! The Register of the High School, for
the Spring term of last year, shows that there
was not single pupil that was not tardy-but
the Register for the term just closed shows that
there were so pupils who had not a single tar q.
dy mark, and that not single member of the
school had over 8 tardinesses.
If this is not progress of most desirable
kind, and in a direction which touches the vital
interests of our schools, then please inform us
what you regard as progress.
But we go still farther. We do not guess or
learn from A. b. and C.-but we know from
actual, personal observation. week after week,
that the schools in this village. from the lowest
grade to the highest are, at least 20 per cent.
in advance of what they were one year ago
not in attendance alone, as we have shown
above but in their order, system. methods and
exercises of the schools sho,c ii, and the late
hurried examinations always the most en-
barrassing and unsatisfactory both to teachers
and pupis) are a standing refutation to every
carping, croaking, whining man woman or
child. Through the earnest efforts of both the
Committee and teachers, we confidently report
marked progress and success, and all who take
the trouble TO visit our schools, to go where
they may see. hear and know for themselves
will be convinced, we are confident, of the
truth of our statements.
We challenge every parent and every one in
terested, to visit schools sufficiently to enable
them to Judge Understandings, and then to
successfully refute, by statement of facts, the
assertion which we reiterate,-that our schools
are 90 per cent. better, all things considered
than they were one year ago. Let no one take
the ipse DIRT of somebody else, who has not
informed himself by actual personal observa-
ton, for though their opinions may be current,
they are not reliable
Neither are the opinions of such parents to
be regarded as of any value, in these matters
who base them wholly upon the complaints and
grumblings of peevish, half-spoiled children
who moan and whine at home because whole
some rules and restraints are introduced into
school. Let parents satisfy themselves by per.
sonal investigation before they give, or are
even suspected of their children of giving, the
least countenanee to any complaints coming to
them through such source, from school,
To do otherwise is not only to injnre the
teacher and damage the school, but to unfit
their children to become loyal subjects under
the proper regulations and restraints of the
very best disciplined school.
Parents will you not visit your schoolsP We
challenge your investigations and criticisms
and we ask for your counsels and cooperation.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

In another column we give condensed re-
port of the doings of tina Democratic State
Convention held at Bellows Falls last week.
But no report however faithful is capable of
giving any adequate idea of the Indignantly
reasonable spirit that actuated those who
managed and shaped the action of that conven-
ton, or Of the obstinate and persistent unani-
nifty with which every just, generous and truly
national sentiment was voted down. twas all
party, party, and the chief end sought was to
perpetuate the miserable remnant of once
powerful organization now de9enerated into the
merest faction, and play an accompaniment to
the pro-slavery and 'anti-wnr address lately put
forth by Vallandigham and Ben Wood. If the
chief managers of that convention had carried
their usually expressed sentiments into practice
they would be found in Dixie" fighting with
Breckenridge and Floyd against the govern
ment Too cowardly to do that, they remain
here at home and vent their impotent spleen
against the government through the admins
traton.
In reviewing The proceedings of this conven-
ton we are no less impressed with the absence
of prominent and influential members of the
democratic party Of other days-men of talent,
character and position both at home and abroad
than with the pauciy Of members in attend
ance. The chief reason for these men refusing
their presence and counsel is to be found in the
narrow and bitterly partizan call of the Com
mittee. Such men as Dillingham; Peck, Lins-
ley Needham, Clark, and scores of others
whose names we could mention, would not, in
this great crisis of our national affairs, counte-
nance any narrow and bigoted partizanship as
they knew must inevitable follow from such n
call They are loyal men and are ready to
sacrihee their iealty to party to the good of
their country and the preservation of its most
cherished institutions. The Star would not
even publish the call for the convention. The
editor of the Sentinel went to the convention
and returned Disguised with its proceedings.
Mr. Stoughton attended for the purpose of in.
huencng the party to take decent, reputable
and patriotic action, and failing in that entered
a manly protest against the whole concern.
Thus was the convention lett in the hands Of a
few unprincped demagogues, the debris Of
their party who had full opportunity to exhibit
their natural proclivites in all their deiormity
and most willingly did they embrace it.
The result of the action of this convention
will he that the great mass of the freemen Of
Vermont, including therein every patriotic man
will rally to the support ois the administration
in its efforts to subdue this wicked rebellion
restore the integrity of the Union, and main
tain the supremacy of the constitution through
out all the land On the other hand, as chat

STATE OF VERMONT.

STATE OF VERMONT.
Executive Department,
Brattleboro', July s, 1862.
To The people Of Termont.--
The President Of The
United States calls into the service of the coun,yv
an additional force Of three hundred thousand mon
and expresses the desire that "they may be en-
rolled without delay, so as to bring this unneces-
sary and injurious civil war to speedy and salts
factory conclusion"
Each citizen should consider this appeal as nd
dressed directly to him, and at once enquire what
he can do for his country, directly, if may be, and
if not, indirectly, by encouraging and assisting
those able and willing to take up arms and advance
to the scenes of conflict. Any see that,
even though our arms are everywhere victorious,
additional troops are needed to garrison and hold
the numerous important points taken and much
more are they needed to prevent or repair revers-
es that may happen.
It cannot be necessary to more than barely remind
the citizens Vermont that the crisis Of the rebellion
has come; and that by hesitation and delay it may
be allowed to nger and invite foreign interference
in its behalf, or by such new, prompt and power
try are abundantly able to make, it can be crushed
and annihilated. The present, then, is no time
for hesitation or delay. Let the response from
Vermont be prompt and patriotic, and in conso-
nance with all her past history. Let no young man,
capable of bearing arms in defence Of his country
and its wise and beneicient government, lngcr at
this important period in the war. Let no one hin

1t is of the last importance that the resources
and strength of our Government should be now in
large measure put forth, and its power and sta
bility fully proved and firmly established. Let the
President of these United States feel the strength
cning influence of our prompt and hearty response
to his late call for additional troops and those brave
men, our fathers, brothers and sons, now in the
field, struggling to the death to uphold cause,
be cheered and encouraged by the intelligence that
many more of the "Green Mountain Boys are
rapidly enrolling for the service of their country,
and will soon advance to its defence. Much more
might he said to you fellow citizens, but a few
words to the brave and patriotic is sufficient. -
Time, now, is everything. Let there he no delay
for more convenient season. Let it be said that
Vermont is one of the first States to respond with
her quota-composed of volunteers, ready for the
service.

The Village Schools.

Another term of school has closed. Another
period of incaculable value to our hundreds of
children, has sent its records into eternity. The
village of Brattleboro has disbursed another
half thousand dollars and upwards to defray
the expenses of its schools. For the past twelve
weeks the whole machinery of our system has
been in operation, and with what results, pro-
pose briefly to show. The closing exercises Of
all the schools, as well as the carefully prepared
Reports of all the teachers TO the Superintend-
ent, are Of the most gratifying character. Those
who attended the late examinations are unani-
nous, so far as we have learned, in their express
sions of pleasure and satisfaction. The schools
without exception. exhibit marked progress,
both in order, system and attendance. Special
care and increasing efforts, the part of teach
ers to raise the standard of their schools, are
everywhere apparent. The counsels and
methods of the Superintendent have been cor
daily adopted and successfully carried out, and
the entire system of the schools show decided
Improvement. few items from the Reports
of the teachers will show beyond all successful
contradiction (for figures cannot lie) that in the
matters of Absence and Hardness marked
and very desirable progress has been secured
During the first term of last year, corresponding
to the one just closed of the present year, the
Registers of the several schools show the num-
