The Government is evidently waking up
T. juster appreciation Of the desperate en-
eIsy Of the rebel chieftains and the immense
~cale on which their operations are conduct

the chief officers Of the Government were
aging behind the sentiment of the people,
anl endangering the success of the rational
case by lukewarmness. or excessive tender
I, for the feelings of the rebels. The de-
H''nd for SO large body OF men will give
tue people fresh heart. they will come to the
work before them with greater spirit than
ever. Besides this effect, the draft will make
IDe people realize as they have not done
hitherto, how great is the pol1sr of their

tlon demands its full exercise. Thus far the
national arm mas been strengthened by vol.
unteer service only, and the alacrity with
which that service has been given is a noble
testimony before the world of the lie-giving
spirit and vigor of our free institutions. But
that alone is not enough. Only when the
people realize that no man in it can stand
back when his Government says he shall
stand forward, will they have just cOncep-
ton of the power of the Government to pro-
tect itself from either internal or external
foes. The nations of the old world will also

they need too-on the resources of the U. S.

THE BAccALAUREATE SERMON

Fifty-eighth Commencement of the Univer-
sity of Vermont, opened Sunday with
The BAccALAUREATE SERMON.
The Graduating Class, with great good
sense and regard for the fitness # things,
had invited Ex-PREsIDESI PEAsE to give the
last parting words of religious counsel to the
Class. which, with the exception of the past
SIX months, had been under his care through
out their college course and it was pleasant
for them, and for all, to see him once more,
though but for day, in the place be has so
often and so well filed.
DR.. Pease took for his text HEBREWS XII, .:
4" Looking unto Jesus lie remarked, in
opening, that great and useful achievements
are accomplished only under the inspiration
of an ideal. God himself is no exception to
this rule. We are told in Genesis that the
Lord God made the Earth and Heavens, and
every plant of the field before At ,Cas in the
Earth and before it gras. The ideal type
antedated the actual existence and constituted
its essential law and reason. And with man,
in order to excellent production, there must
be the working toiUards something. The BIZ
ographies of eminent men are chiefly valua-
bic as revealing the fair ideals, the germs of
excellent works, which throbbing with IN
easy life in the soul. stirred them to heroic
deeds and worthy lives.
Now Christianity does not take from US
any of our natural powers. or add new ones,
it only fills them with new life, and ele-
yates the entire plane of effort. What in the
lower spheres we call aspiration. hope, en-
deavor, under the light OF the christian life
we call faith-and there are no records of
human experience which can compare with
what the author Of the EpIstle to the Hebrews
has left in his grand statement of the triumphs
of faith-a triumphal song surpassed BY no
Pindaric ode in its glow and intensity OF pas
sion, by no Epic verse in the majesty of its
march, by no drama in the greatness of its

The Anniversary of this Society took place
on Sunday evening. After music By the

BURNETT, introduced the chaplain Of the oc.

who offered prayer. The discourse Of the
evening, by REV. c. L. GooDELL, OF New
Britain. Conn, graduate of the University
OF the Glass of '55, followed.
REV. Mr.. GocDELL's DISCOURSE.
Mr. Goodell began his address by abiding
to the state OF the times Great changes, he
said, are sweeping over the earth, and great
conflicts being waged Christianity is the
power which has set them IN motion, and
she can show her divinity better by directing
them than by turning her attention to ex-
planning and trying to harmonic tile past
We have been awak ened from our dream that
the Millennium was coming upon US IN a
smooth and easy progress, and we cannot do
better now than to contemplate topics and
find examples suited to the present time Of
strife Such q. topic 10 to be found in the
struggle for English liberty, such an example
in Oliver Cromwell.
Mr.. Goodell proceeded to give briei
sketch of the family and early history OF
Cromwell. lie also described briefly the state

THE Press AND EXEMPTIONs.- The Con-
federate senate committed, Tuesday,
the extraordinary inconsistency OF ex-
emption from military service the jour
neymen printres of newspapers, and re-
fusing to exempt editors, even voting
down an amendment that was offered
exempting one editor of every paper
If the freedom and influence of the
press are of much Importance, as the
majority conceded, they have taken
a very singular way of proving their
appreciation Of it What is a news
paper without an editor? 1t is the bust
ness of journeymcn printers merely to
put in type what editors put in their
hands, and to refuse exemption to ed
itors is simply to suppress all news
papers. We venture to say that the
press of the south has given an impet-
us to this revolution, in the beginning
and a power in its progress, second on
ly to that achieved by our arms. 1t
has been the very light and life of
of the southern cause, and now the
senate proposes to put out this light
extinguish this life, and leave the peo.
pie in the darkness and silence of tomb.
We hope the house Of representatives
will put veto on this oppressive ac-
ton of the senate, and secure to the
people, by the exemption Of editors,
that powerful palladium Of liberty
and irresistible incentive to patron
ism, free press. Dispatch

ANOTHER CoUNrE 'FET-The editor
of the Augusta Sentinel has seen five
dollar counterfeit Confederate bill of
the green colored issue of sept 2, 1862.
The engraving of the counterfeit is
inferior to the &c" uine-the portrait of
Mr.. Memminger in the center being bad
ly done. All the genuine are lettered Fl
in two places; the counterfeit has the
letter J once. The words s"For Treas'r"
following the signature in the genuine
are omitted in the spurious, and when
ever they do appear in the latter, are
coarser than in the genuine The en-
graver's name does not appear on the
counterfeit.

THE Hospitals From a report pre-.
sented in the Confederate senate, on the
22nd ult., il appears that the whole
number of patients (soldiers) admit
ted into the various hospitals, in and
near Richmond, from the date of their
organisation to the present time, was
9,50S ofwhom 9,774 have been fur,
loughed, and 1903 have died. The
rest, it is presumed, have recovered
and been discharged, except those re-
naming in the hospitals.

Minnesota Matters,

| We find the following letter, datec
st: Paul, September l6, ip the Pittsburg
Dispatch
Major-General Pope, late in command
of the army of Virginia, reached oul
City late last evening. Cannon music
and the usual appendages necessary
to an impromptu ovation heralded his
landing. His suite, consisting of three
colonels, major, several captains, and
last though, not least, a4general, took
lodgings at the International hotel. As
a consequence shoulder straps are
quoted above par to-day.
Almost every body now feels GER
tain that our Indian troubles will be
allayed as by magic. What ex-gov-
ernor Shibley has failed to do, as col
onel and commander in-chief Of he ex
pedition against the Siouxs, Major
General Pope aided by one general
three colonels, one Major, and several
captains, must certainly accomplish,
and |, for one, do not doubt that as
soon as Hole-in-the-Day, the great
Chippewa chief, who is now, as many
of our prominent politicians have been
and still are, on the fence, l. e. either
for or against law and order, will at
once jump down on the side of uncle
Abraham.
Well, | among many others, sim
cerely hope and wish that Major. Gen
neral Pope may have more success
than he obtained in the State that has
produced SO many Presidents, and that
he may capture as many hundreds of
red skin devils an he has been report
ed to have captured thousands of re-
bells. Let us wait and see.
We. of St. Paul, are highly iublant.
We have one Major general, United
States army, another general, three
additional colonels Major, and sew
ersl additional captains, of which last
we possessed an almost fabulous
number. The country is safe.
The late raid up ON our frontier has
been fearful one Not less than six
hundred, and perhaps thousand, lives

tlicted upon persons of all sizes and
sex can only be appreciated by search
ing for and reading similar atrocities
perpetrated almost a century past.
Disemboweling, chopping off of hands,
limbs and heads, mailing infants to
doors and trees, outragng women,
ripping out infants from their mothers
wombs, and casting them away before
the agonized mother, were of frequent
occurrence.
You cannot imagine the desolation
now existing, where, two months ago,
peace, happiness and plenty reigned
Every vacant building IN our midst is
filled with bercaved fathers, mothers
and orphans. Our State officials, cor
porate bodies, and citizens have done,
and are now doing, all that can be
done for the relief of all unfortunates,
but who will compensate the wife for
her husband murdered, the mother for
her butchered children, or the orphan
left alone at tender age.

n1~ We commend the following

n~ We commend the following re-
marks, from the Grenada Appeal, to
the careful perusal of every one
What the people of the South have
to fear, more than the emancipation
proclamation of Lincoln, is the hard.
ships and sufferings our soldiers will
be compelled to undergo during the
winter campaign that is now closing
upon us. We have alluded to this s1b-
.ject so frequently that we might well
abstain from further reference to it,
yet we are so thoroughly convinced of
its Importance that we are willing to
incur the charge of tedious repetition,
if we can, by constant ding dong"
put one idle hand to work, one more
spinning wheel or one more pair of
cards going.
The Northern papers that fall into
our hands, we observe, are themselves
beginning to chuckle over our pending
gloomy prospects in this particular.
They are free to assert, and to do it
with gusto, that the rigors of winter
will carry off more of our soldiers than
the casualties of the battle field The
question is one of such momentous i'm
port as to challenge the serious con-
sidcration and sympathetic regard of
every one who has the good of cur
cause and the welfare of our soldiers
at heart
The proportions of the war are SO
great as to render it impossible, by
reason Of its limited and cramped re.
sources, for the government to make
all the necessary provisions for the
Comfort and welfare of our troops in
the field. A great deal depends upon
individual exertion Every hand should
be busy and every resource exhausted.
What one cannot do another may,
and the exigency of the case demands
the thoughts and labors of all.

pa Brig. Gen. Tuttle, of the Fede
raj forces at Cairo wrote to the Mayor
of hicago few days ago that he had
received many applications from per-
sons in that oity to send them negroes
for servants. He wished the Mayor to
appoint o committee to see that they
were properly set to work, and he
would send them on. The Mayor replied
rather tartly that such proceeding
would be in violation of the laws of
