A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
A part Of the obnoxious features of the per-
sonal liberty bill have been repealed. 1t re-
quired but one or two arguments Of able, con
stitutonal lawyers IN the House ~ show the
unconsutuuonality Of tbat statute so clearly
that the House did not hesitate 90 repeal IL
promptly This demonstrates how readily
the people of Vermont yield their prcjudices
to their sense Of duty as soon as they see that
duty clearly; although they would have pre-
feired at this time more than ever to retain
these section< had the ground oeen teuable
upon discussion. They had but TO see that
they were wrong to forthwith correct their
error
Mr.. Denison of Royalton and Mr., Royce of
Berkshire took hold of the question and
showed its unconstitutonality so forcbly that
their arguments could not be answered We
believe this is the first time since the passage
of the act that any strong arguments have
been attempted against it.
In swing place to the foregoing, we deem
it just to the orginators Of the Personal
Liberty law to say, that they never con-
templated 1.-THE obnoxious features of that
act. Those feature, - we're put on in the
Senate by amendment, on the last night Of
the session, and for the purpose OF killing the
bill. The House. however, took the Senate
at its offer and concurred in the amendments.
That is the history OF "tho obnoxious fea-
lures"

To rHE Folks Ar HoME: Yours was duly
received. 1t found me in general health and
spirits encamped within seven miles of War
renton Junction. We have laid here since
Sunday the 9Th. We are hard up for rations
entirely out of sugar. but little coffee, and
short Of hard crackers. But this is not what
troubles the most. BE not surprised when
tell you that the army Of the } otomac is al
most in a state of mutiny You will ask, how
is this? II you were one Of it's members you
would not wonder.
IL is known to you ere this that our Com
handing General, George b. Mcclellan, has
been superseded by Gen Burnside. This was
done by an abolition, political intrigue at the
North Mcclellan had the confidence Of
every officer and soldier in the Army OF the
Potomac. Burnside is good General and is
liked by the men, but with the present state
OF feeling, ! am fearful for the result. The
North can make up their minds for one thing
that the army has been fooled about as
much as it Gamble by the North.
The nisg men at he North could not be
satisfied by the loss Of forty thousand men
upon the peninsula by frustrating his plans
ana not giving him men enough to hold his
position. We soldiers know and have feel
ing like other hnman beings. They have taken
his command uDon the eve OF fighting the bat
Gle that would heve decided the late of Rich
mond. aud perhaps the war Butas tits now,
the army must necessarily lay still; and 10y so
doing lose the best weather aud time for at
ticking the enemy. If you could have seen
the sad and gloomy faces Of the officers and
sol iers on learning that Little Mac was to be
removed, you would have she'd tears. We
have faced death in every shape and form, en-
dured hardshps and privations of every kind,
but never have seen anything that made the
soldiers feel as if they had lost their only
nope like the removal OF Mcclellan. and !, for
one, don't care but little how the war goes.
just as long as politics have anything to do
with this war, il will never be brought 20 an
end. know one thing, that if the men in
this army ever get home they will have a new
order of things, and the lynch law may be put
in force upon some of the Niger men OF the
North. b.
