little to bring these several communities to-
gether, or make them acquainted with each
other. What acquaintance have the people of
Essex County, with those of Grand Isle, or
what interest have they, in connection with
each other The same may be said in relation to
Caledonia and Franklin Counties. What
knowledge have the voters of one end OF the
district of a candidate residing in the oppo-
site section, except what they may derive
from kind emisSaries or peas Oned presses
This lack Of acquaintance and intercourse be-
tween the voters In thu different sections OF this
district with each other and wish the candida
tes, depriyes them Of the power of Judging and
selecting from the several candidates proposed.
THIS opens most inviting field for intriguing
politicians to make bargains and arrangements
to suit themselves. Another strong Obj c,ion
to our whole Northern portion being included
in one Congressional district, arises from the
fact of the vast influence which one who can
control the patronage Of the general govern
ment can exercise over the elections in that DIS
trlCI. 1t lS well Known tudO Uul ANOI tlIl
frontier is tbickly strown with custom house
officers who receive large salar les and for years,
ever since the reciprocity treaty, have few or
10 duties - p)rt)rn, This renders their offices
almost siuecures and Of course they are eagerly
sought for. Owing to this patronage the in-
duence of the Federal Government is greater in
this Congressional district than in any other sec
ton of the State. Ii this foul heap Of corrup-
tion must be retained, (.nd probably it must), it
would seem to be a IL alter Of duty and sound
policy at least to cut the rotten band asSunder,
aud weaken the force OF the evil By placing it
in two Congressional Districts instead Of one,
where it must be powerful engine Of c)rnp-
t!on.
Fox these and many other reasons connected
with tie convenient anI intelligent action Of
the freemen, IN selecting their candidates for
Congress, it is to be hoped the Legislature will
make some changes in cur Congressional dis.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS. Oct. 30.
DEAR FATHER II can stop to write but a
few words tonight, have just written letter
home, and was on guard last night, and am
sleepy when | sit down to write.
We have changed our location to-day. Yes

6lty cents, and made floor for our tent and
just as We had finished it, the orders came to BIZ

We started about eight O'Clock this morning,
from Capitol Hill, and marched eight mics TO
this place, which is four miles from the Poto-
mac, and is in sight of Fairfax Seminary. The
whole brigade, or FIVE Vermont regiments are
here. The distance was about as far ~ W.
wanted to march, with all oar traps and one
days rations. good many fell out before We
arrived here, but none from our company IL
stood it first rate. When we arrived here,
dropped down and took u nap, then eat my sup
per, and then walked half u mile to q brook
aud washed, and now feel about as we'll as ever
Our CAPTAIN says We must 20 back to the
place we came from, for grand review next
Saturday, and come back here the same day. 1t
will try the power of endurance of some OF tn.
buys, judging from the effects of to-day's march
upon them. II ls said there is to be- $50 900
troops reviewed at that time.

next day had to 20 back to where we were ant
the next, which was to-day, came here with US

4 Petition to the President.

We very chcerlu.ly comply with I: request to
publish the following petition, intended to be
signed by the loyal women of the Nation, speak
ing 10 Abraham Lincoln The voice not only of
The mothers, wives and daughters Ct tie soldiers
Of tie Republic, but Of all truly loyal hearts
everywhere We wish it might be signed by
every woman in the land.
To the President of he United States:
We the undersigned, women of the United
States, who have given our brothers, sens and
husbands to fight for their country, in this
deadly struggle, and who will seek every oppor.
tunity to AID, cheer and uphold them to the
end-seeing our army, the flower and hope Of
the land, exposed to needless danger and suffer
ings-lo hereby ask Of you, Abraham Lincoln,
that you. as chief ruler of is nation, see to it
that the strength which is needed against the
enemy be not wasted by foe within, and that
you GAUGE all negligent, incompetent, drunken
or knavsh mon, who, in the first bury cf s3lec-
ton, obtained Cor themselves weighty charges
aud poss of responsibility, to be at once sought
out and dismissed. And that you give our
precious soldiers IN keeping to the most honest,
the most capable, the most faithful, truSty and
a'a0us officers, both evil and military, that can
be found in the land, so that we, waiting at
home that issue which the God of battles alone
can give, need ieaI Tor our soldiers no evils but
those lnsoparable from war need fear no in-
ethceut or untguSty Guar ermastcgs, no care
less, ignorant, or drunken officers no unsSillful,
unteellng or drunken Surgeons. We believe
that ust severity 10 such offenders would
greatly increase the efticency Of our army, and
would strengthen the hands of the government
by securing the confidence Of the people II
would be welcome to all those officers and Of
bclals who are now working faithfully. II
would be welcome to every one; for though
men are prone to float on the frail platform OF
whatever is, Is right, they rejoice when some
bold hand breaks it in fragments under them.
We have entrusted 10 you all that we most
value. We believe that you will care for it
tenderly and cupscientiously, remembering that
OF this host when one man suffers many hearts
bleed. We suffer willingly in the cause of civ
ilization and humanity, and to maintain our
national self'respect.- we suffer willingly, but
we look to you, our chosen ruler, that we do
not suffer IN vain.

Congressional Districts.

Mr.. WILLARD Dear Sir was much
pleased to notice In your paper, your remarks
on changing and re-arranging the Congressional
Districts OF this State. IL is measure which
ia much needed, and hope you and other
friends of the measure, will not abate one jot or
little OF your Efforts until this change is effect

rangement. especially for the third or northern
district, could scarcely be imagined, than that
which now exists. Nature has divided our
State into three general divisions or valleys. the
Eastern, the Western, and the middle. Polit-
Cal divisions, to be harmonious, should coincide
with these great lines marked out by the hand
of nature. instead of this, we nave our NORTH

two ranges OF the Green Mountains, and by an

You've SoIDIERs.- The Governor has, it Is said,
concluded to receive into State service company
of youths under the minimum military age. We
refer to the Beaureg gard Cadets, Capt squires,
whose eyolutons on our streets have been SO often
seen and admired, These youths are already well
drilled, but something Of camp life is necessary to
familiarize them with the dnties and exposure Of
soldiers life, and they consequently to be sent
into camp as soon as full. ID s a.ss s a.. .a,slss.
That this is q good as we'll as novel plan, there
can be little question. H'the law recognizesyoung
men of eighteen as capable Of being soldiers, why
are not those Of less age capable Of being apprep
tees to the art. so that by the time they are Of
sufficient age they will be not only soldiers, but
accomplished ones. As school of instruction,
camp life would, doubtless, be advantageous to
thousands of boys who, at present, are living in
idleness, neither going to school nor able to find
employment. It will be bnt q few. months prob
ably at any rate before they will be in the army.
Why not LET them enter upon its peris with the ad
vantage Of a thorough training and familiarity
with its duties2 For this company few more are
needed to fli up, and we commend the subjectt to
the attention Of patriotic parents. = q F'@
