ANOTHER FoRT REPossEssED.-Fort Mar
ion at St. Augustine, Fla, has been ocou-
pied by our forces This is the second OF
the old Forts now re- occupied by U.S.troops,
in pursuance of the plan laid down in the
Presidents Inaugural, a year ago, Fort
Clinch at Fernandlna, being the first. Fort
Marion is the oldest fortifcation in the coun-
try, having been built by the Spanish when
they held Florida. 1t is of considerable size,
but could not be held day against the mis-
siles of modern warfare. The only really
defcnsible part-unless the rebels have ex-
pended good deal Of labor upon it since ta-
ing possession last April-is the battery on
the water side Of the Fort. This was built
by the United States and is capable of mount
Ing eight or ten guns. The rebels, however,
seem not 70 have thought of Offering any re
sIstance, and the inhabitants, many of whom
are of Northern birth, themselves raised the
Federal flag.
There can be no deiensible place left IN
Florida now, we imagine. The little sand
spit which has cost the United States so
many mil lions to purchase and maintain,
must be pretty much under Its control once
more.

BURLINGTON:
FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH %. 1862.

As matters are progressing now, it seems
| likely that the Rebellion will soon be brought
to an end for want of material to carry it on,
on the side Of the rebels. We have taken
from them within two months and a half,
three or four hundred cannon and at least
City thousand stand Of arms. Their facill-
ties for manufacturing more are growing
limited, for the machine shops at Pensacola
are destroyed, the ordnance foundry at Char
lesion was burned IN the great fire, the great
iron works at Clarksville are destroyed, and
their arsenal at Nashville is in our hands.
The f,undries and iron works at Richmond
and Norfolk are out Of coal, it is said. The
importation Of arms from Europe is pretty
much at an end and there can be little
hope Of renewing their stock from that qulr-
ter.
The rebels commenced the war with Il
large supply ofimplements of warrior which
they may thank Floyd, principally-but how
long can they hold out, with such steady
drain as the Federal troops make upon
their stock, and so few facilities for increase -?
We notice already that some of their papers
call for the manufacture of pikes-whether
of the John Brown pattern or not, we do
not know.
When this war is over, the South will be
more bare of arms and munitions than was
the North when it commenced.

KILLED AND WOUNDED IN THE WAR OT
lSl2.-From an article in the New York
Historical Collections, prepared by VIM.
Jay, ESQ.,, mostly from official sources, 1t ap-
pears the whole number of Americans killed
and wounded during the war of 1872, extend
ing from June 1872 to March 1915, was
1888; of these, 2Sl0 were of the number
killed this includes both the naval and
land forces. The largest number IN the
naval forces was at the engagement between
the Chesapeake and Shannon, where the num-
Der of Americans killed and wounded was
l45, and the British S5. At the battle OF
New Orleans there were 50 Americans and
2O74 British killed and wounded. The
Americans appear to have suffered most at
the battle of Bridgewater, where they had
743 killed and wounded, and the Butrish
643. In the various skiamishes among the
Indians the Americans had over HOO killed
and wounded In the engagement between
the Constitution and Java, the Americans
had 81, and the British l6l killed and
wounded During the whole war the whole
number of British killed and wounded is put
down at s774, of which 25G0 were among
the killed.

WV. L. YAScEY.-Mr. Yancey was son
of the late wife of Rev. Dr. Beman, of Troy,
By her first husband. He was wild youth,
and was expelled from Williams College for
divers misdemeanors. Yaneey's first promi-
nent appearance before the public was in
South Carolina, where he shot his uncle
dead, and was punished for the act by fifteen
months imprisonment. He afterwards served
in Congress until he became tired of Con-
gressional life, and resigned. leaving his
place to be struggled for unsuccessfully by
his half brother, young Beman. While IN
Congress he fought duel with Clingman
nobody hurt. He was active among the
rebel conspirators IN the earliest stages of
the rebellion, and in due time was appointed
to be the senior or chief of the commission
of rebels to Europe, and has been in England
and in France in that capacity since May
last. In November last, Alabama elected
Mr.. Yancey to represent her in the rebel
Senate, which was organized on the 18th OF
February last.

The PHYSICAL MKN OF 0HIo.-The Com
missioner Of the State Of Ohio, in his annual
report ,igives the following description of the
physique of the men of Ohio:
"The Commissioner says that Professor Henry
and himself have been several years engaged in
defining the American man, by accurate MEASURE
ments. lie presents only such Of these as GO TO
describe accurately the men Of Ohio.
" For this purpose he gives the measurements OF
300 farmers, miners and laborers in several coun-
ties; of $50 other. in IL villages, and comPa'
nies of Kennett's Cavalry, all native Americans.
The following appears to be the general result of
these measurements: That the man Of Ohio Is ,
feet 81 inches high, and is taller than any Euro
pcan nation of which there arc any Measurements.
"He is taller than the Belgian by several inch
es, taller than the English, and even taller than
the Scotch Highlanders. The Highlanders, how
ever, exceed the American round the chest, aud
are, on the whole the stoutest. In complexion
eyes ard hair, the light predominates over the
dark. The prevailing hair is brown, and the pre-
vailing eyes grey or blue. In one word, the ma
tive American Is the modified German Of the time
of Tacitus, and such he ought TO be- from hi, ante
cedents."

Tur SHAREHOLDERS AND THE President


We stated in our remarks on the Presi
dents message, the other day, that eve bad
reason to believe that Sir. Lincoln had had
assurances Of support from eminent citizens
of ,he border states" The National In!eh
qsneer, of Washington, always well informed,
after quoting the EvzSISO Posi-, adds:
"We suppose ourselves to be violating no
confidence when We say that our contempt
rary has good reason for the belief that the
President. IN the polios he recommends, has
received earnest md numerous assurances Of
support from that class Of persons in the
border slaveholding states who are most in
mediately intereste3 IN the proposition
brought to the notice Of Congress. We al
lude, of course, to Shareholders, and eSpeci-
ally to shareholders residing IN the states OF
Maryland and Delaware, many among the
most influential OF whom have not only sig
niEed their acquiescence IN the project, but
have urged it upon the favorable consideration
Of Mr.. Lincoln.

Gen. Mcclellan, We are assured on all hands,
has now fully entered upon his campaign. We
thought respecting him, as with regard TO the
Secretary of the Navy, that his place could be
filed with more effective man, and as we thought
we spoke in either case. The President Of the
United States has decided against our conviction,
and we bow to his decision.-N. y. Tribune.
The Tribune reminds US of a crazy fellow
whom we knew in Westfeld, Mass, some
years ago He considered himself a sort Of
supervisor general of the whole community,
and as possessed Of dictatorial authority over
all unctiOnaries,-civil, military and reli-
gious; standing trouble with him was
that his orders were so much disregarded.
" Now here (said he one day. is that Parson
Knapp, "a clergyman of the village. | told

,ng-and yet be keeps at it, just as if had

VERMONT AGRICULTURE.-Eerm Is 50
purely agricultural in Its tastes and tenden-
cies, that seyen-tenths of its population are
directly engaged in that business, and most
of the balance are greatly interested in the
products Of its mines, quarries, FORESTS and
springs Notwithstanding that agriculture
is the great speciality of this state, no agri-
cultural paper is published here The state
agricultural society says, after eleven years
existence, that it has never received state pa
tronage to the amount Of a dollar, they have
never issued an annual agricultural report
for want of means, and the laws which once
gave aid to country agricultural societies
have recently been repealed. All this exists
in a state perhaps more dependent upon agri-
culture for wealth and future grea tness than
anv other, and at time when agriculture
especially needs fostering care. Because
this is a period of strife, it does not foil ow
that therefore there should be an abatement
of interest in peaceful agriculture. On the
contrary, there is need Of greater exertion
lest caunt famine follow up the desolations
of war. Nearly ten thousand men have al-
ready left that state by enlistment, or about
one-thirtieth the entire population. OF course
a large proportion of these belong to the
yeomanry. and 1t will take time to fill their
places with other laborers About a
many horses as men have also been taken
away for army purposes. Wool, one OF the
great staples of this state, continues in de-
Irand beyond the supply. Probably one
third more wool, twenty times as many
horses, and five times as many laborers are
worn out and destroyed in war, as in the
peaceful avocatious of life. If this is so,
labor will inevitably be dear. horses scarce,
and wool high for years to come. The re-
suit will be a greater product Of horses and
sheep. LabOr-saying machinery will come
to the farmers aid, and the thousands Of
hills in Vermont will swarm with flocks and
herds. Production viii pay, the public
mind be enlightened, and farming become
profitable Neither agriculture however,
nor any ether business, ever can re ieh its
highest prosperity without educational faci-
ities. The farmers club, the agricultural
society, the newspaper, tie text book. the
college. are but 50 many instruments to be
used in securing the desired end. We are

I The OCCUPATION OF ST. AUCUsTINE.-Capt.
Rodgers report to Com. Dupont Of the oc
cupation of St. Augustine Fla. says that he
went ashore with aaag of truce, and was
taken to the City Hall. lie told the author
ities that the persons and property of all cit
liens who submitted to the authority ofthe
Q. S. would be respected. and that so long
as they respected the authority OF the gov
| ernment we serve, and acted in good faith,
municipal affairs would be left in their own
hands so far as might be consistent with the
exigences of the times. The Mayor and
Council then informed him that the place had
been evacuated the preceding night by two
companies of Florida troops, and they gladly
placed the city in his hands. BY order OF
the Mayor, the national ensign was display
ed from the flagstaff Of the fort. The Mayor
was told that he would be held responsible
for the place until our forces should enter
the harbor. The elergymen Of the city were
called on and requested to reassure their
people, and to confde in our kind intentions
towards them. About fifteen hundred per
sons remain in the place, and nearly all the
men acquiesce in the condition of affairs.
There is much violent and pestilent feeling
among the women. They seem to mistake
treason for courage, and have theatrical
desire to figure as heroines. Their minds
have, doubtless, been filed with the false
hoods 50 industriously circulated in regard
to the last and the hatred Of our troops.
On the night before our arrival party OF
women assembled in front of the barracks
and cut down the flagstaff, in order that it
might not be used to support the old flag.
The men seemed anxious to couciliate in eve
~ way.
There is a great scarcity Of provisions in
the place. There seems to be no money ex
cept the wretched paper currency Of the re-
bellion, and much poverty exists.
In the water battery in the fort are three
fine army thirty-two Founders Of 1000 pounds
and two eight-inch seacoast howitzers of
5000 pounds, with shot and some powder.
There are a number OF very old guns in the
fort useless and not mounted. Several good
guns were taken away some months ago to
arm batteries at other harbors. The garri-
son Of the place went from St. Augustine
at midnight on the 10th for Smyrna, where
are said to be about 500 troops, battery,
the steamer Carolina, and a considerable
quantity OF arms and ammunition.
