The Atlantic Monthly for October contains
the usual ammount of interesting reading mat
ter. The longest article is by DR.. Jarvis OF
Dorchester on "The Sanitary Condition of the
Army" 1t embodies tie results of patient and
thorough investigation, and its suggestions point
to the means by which much of the disease
prevalent among our soldiers might be avoided.
The opening article "Auumnal Tints," one left
by Thorean for publication, is full of beauty
and Hinged not only with the appreciation Of
nature which was its authors characteristics
but with a shade of tender sadness, as if he
too, like the autumn leaves, felt the approach
of decay. House Building" and "The Re.
sources of the South" are interesting articles
and the poem Of the number is "The Battle
Autum Of 90" by Whittier. David Gaunt' i,

PROGRESS.

Will, there are some things discouroging
about the war, there are others OF more
cheering character. We have had defeats and
disasters. plumbers and mistakes. But we have
made progress towards the great end for which
we are contending Union and Freedom, Lib
erty and secure Government, a country free
from slavery with peace on a sur"basis. Wehave
ever been of the opinion that slavery was the
direct or remote cause Of this rebellion, and
that it is necessary to remove the cause in order
to have permanent peace and security. And
while we are preparing TO restore the Union
and TO sustain the honor of our national flag,
we have thought that the overthrow of slavery
must be one of the instruments to accomplish
this object. And we still believe that slavery
and rebellion must go down together. That
things are tending TO this result is patent to
every thinking mind. Towards this end great
progress has been made. Since Fort Sumter
was attacked many significant acts have taken
place. The whole North has united with one
voice 10 put down the rebellion. A mighty
army and powerful navy have been created
for the purpose mary battles have been fought,
and many vic cries won. And now we are
looking for additions TO both the army and the
navy. which will enable us in the future TO con-
tend with greater efficiency and success. Our
officers are gaining wisdom and skill from ex d.
perience, and we are finding out who are COM
petent and who are not. The President and
his Cabinet have also learned something by the
experience and events of the few past months.
They understand better the strength and char
acter of the foe we have 10 contend with, and
know better what weapons and what means are
necessary to cope successfully with that foe.
And hence we look for greater energy and a
more decided policy. We expect now that
blows will he aimed at the most vital and vul-
nerable parts Of the enemy, and that the war
will be carried on in the manner most destruc-
tive to the rebels. And what has already been
done to weaken and destroy slavery gives us
faith in what is 10 come Slavery has been
abolished in the District of Columbia, and
forever excluded from the Territories of the
United States. We have formed a treaty with
England for the more efectual suppression Of
the African slave trade. Liberia and Hayti
have been recognized as Independent govern
ments, and diplomatic relations established with
them. Thousands of Slaves have been made
free by the progress of our armies and in New
Orleans the backs are armed by the order Of
Gen. Butler. And to crown all the President
has issued proclamation declaring that upon
the first day of January next all persons held
as slaves within any state or any designated
part of a state, the people whereof shall then
be in rebellion against the United States, shall
thereafter be forever free. These things Ger.
tainly indicate progress, and are well calculated
10 inspire all loyal people with hope and cour.
age for the future. We will never despair Of
the Republic.

master. This system of labor renders despotc
Government political necessity, and the only
means of preventing It, is to reorgonize these
Africans with view to subordination TO demo-
cratic institutions. In the place of the master,
the overseer and the driver we must substitute
the Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel and Major of a
military organization, appointing men to these
positions Of the highest standing and character
and of the most approved loyalty and patriot
ism. This is the only way that we can reclaim
the slave from his despoic uses and render him
subordinate TO the democratic institutions of
the country. 1t is the only way by which we
can manage him with the least possible loss to
our liberties and the least amount of detrment
to the interests of the master.
| II is now about ten months since ] left the
North to engage in the expedition against New
Orleans, during which time upward OF four
months have been spent in the vicinity of that
city, and yet no progress seems to have been
made in restoring peace or queling the rebel
lion. On the contrary. after perfectly useless
delay, and an immense expenditure OF life and
treasure, the state of things is worse than ever.
Delays are dangerous and never more so than
in military matters. Tiiey tend to compromise
our liberties as well as injure the interests of
the whole Union. Convinced of this, | have
omitted no opportunity or means that my po-
sition has offered, even to the sacrifice of my
President and the country. 10 ignore Slavery
in the present crisis is but little less disastrous
than Slavery itself

THE WAR,

We have no very exciting news from the war
to publish this week. 1t is very evident that
both the great armies that recently fought in
Mary land were too much enfeebled and reduced
to make immediate active monstrations. In
the absence of any official report of the losses
sustained in those battles we are unable TO as
certain what they were. We are however sure
they were very severe and heavy. All accounts
indicate that the loss of the rebels in killed and
wounded was much greater than ours. They
signally failed in their great OBJECT of crossing
into Maryland. Their reception was far diff
ferent from what they anticipated, and they will
not be likely to play that game again. We do
not anticipate any great battles Immediately on
or near the Potomac. Our army needs recruit
ing and reinforcing before it can make aggres-
sive movements. But we hope that reinforce
ments will he sent forward as soon as possible,
and that when our army next moves on the
enemy, it will be like resistless avalanche.
From various sources we learn that our Yer
mont boys did their duty in the late battles
bravely. The 4th Vermont Regiment headed by
Lieut.-Col. STOUGHToN, made bona fde bay
onet charge on the 10Th Virginia Regiment oil
rebels took their Major, their coors, and about
one hundred aud fifteen men. This was in tn,
action of Sept. 18th Our troops were in the
battle of the 18th also and did their duty nobly
he 4th lost but one man killed. Several were
wounded as will be seen by Lieut. Col Slough
tons report in another column.

TO THE LADIES OF VERMONT.

All contributions for the relief of sick and
wounded soldiers should be forwarded to Gen.
G. F. Davis. Bra',eboro, or DR.. S. W. Thayer,
Burlington, free Of charge.
The Ladies of this State have contributed
literally to the Sanitary Commission and "Sol-
dier's Aid Society" as well as TO the relief OF
our own soldiers, hut as the time is near at
hand when in all probability the soldiers of our
State will need all the contributions from the
Ladies Aid Associations, we respectfully sug-
gest that they forward as above directed.
That there may be no misupplication of Ia
Dor or funds, we would further suggest TO the
Ladies: make bed ticks, pillow ticks, sheets
pillow cases, bed shirts and towels--scnd fan
mel sheets and blankets, if old and worn they
serve an excellent purpose in the Hospital
knit wooden socks, old linen will prove of grea
service the comming winter.
