To the Editor Of The Caledonian
As the people of northern Vermont are u
sualy much interested in the commencement
exercises of this college, it may interest them
to know what those exercises are to be fer
the coming anniversary. The Germania
Band, consisting Of eighteen pieces, has been
secured for commencement mot the Mendels-
Sohn Quintette Club, as has been stated once
or twice in your paper.) Tuesday, July 30

been selected to perform the various parts
On Wednesday, there will be an Grafton de-
livered by G. W. Curtis, and poem by
Congdon, associate editor of the y. u Tri
bune-5oth of them distinguished and tai
ented men. There will be a concert Wed
nesday evening. On Thursday there will be
the regular graduating exercises. There i.
nothing to prevent the graduating exercises
from being as interesting, or even more so
than they have been in past years. Wha
adds to the interest is the fact that the orator

ton Curtis was the first choice of thu
class. BY competent judges he is said to b'
superior to Everett as an orator. Ten of tn,

REPLY TO A tn HEAT.

Said a we'll known Democrat, one Of
that sort Of Democrats who loves his party
organization more than the honor and unity
Of lis country-in the hearing Of an equally
well known Republican, in this city, on Sat
u1day last: "Let Gov, YATES recommeh.
dation be the rule ofaction, and let negroes
be permitted to take part in this val, and
we shall see deep divisions and at length
civil war right here in the Northl" "Sir,"
was the reply, IT have heard that threat
btfUre, both from Fernando Wood and the
Chicago Times. Now if you and your
friends, in consequence ofany constitutional
act Of the Government, whether in relation
to the employment Of negroes, or anything
else, want to provoke civil war right here

GU never will be stronger and We Of tht
patriotic side shall never be weaker thar
weare to-day. There are loyal men left s.
home to take care Of you. So crack you

The reply was just that which ought Il
have been made; and We hope it may b
passed along from man to man, and every

NEGRO WORSHIpPERS,

The Republicans are sneer1ngly called
by their political opponents, "negro wor-
shippers" This is very silly misnomer,
and as absurd as silly. The controversy is
not about ne9roes-but the political status
oi the negro. One side says that the negro
ought to be free, because he is man, the
otl.ef insists that he ought to be q szape
because he is black Tor yellow, as the case
may be) The Republican argues that the
colorcd man should be paid wages for h1s
work, should be allowed to Own himself
and his family and to acquire property and
enjoy the fruits Of his labor. The dough
face argues that he ought to work for moth
ing, and belong to another man who hap
pens to be shade whiter that he should
be chattel property to .be bought and sold
bartered or beaten like the beasts Of the
field The controversy is therefore about the
relation the colo1ed man sha1l hold in tht
scale Of society Shall he be ranked as
human being or brutef That's the ques
ton. ::

Lieutenant 0. NJ Brown, of the Sd Ohio
cavalry, who vas arrested for preventing
couple Of men from securing fugitive for
q pursuer, has been discharged from custody
without trial or examination. In letter
written by him from Tuscumbia, Ala, to his

REBEL STRENGTH AT RICHMOND
We can not agree with the estimate Of
our Washington correspondent that the
rebel force at Richmond numbered but
$1,000 men. It is true that prisoners have
asserted it, but other prisoners put tile rebel
force as high as 100000, The truth in all
probability is between these extremes, say
100000 men. One rebel prisoner would
feel like undertaking the strength Of his
side in order to magnify their bravery;
while another and shrcwdcr one would
undcrate their numbers for the purpose Of
discouraging our army from attempting to
takc Richmond. The adyantagc the rebels
had was, in selecting their point Of attack,
and falling on wing, or.,division, ofour re-
treating army, in greatly superior strength.
Thus the right wing Of Gen McClellan's
army, consisting Of $4,000 men, was assail-
cd at Gaines Mill by not less than G0,000
Of the enemy. The rebel Gen Lee con.
siantly reinforced lis columns with fresh
troops where fighting was going on, which
was not the case on our side. The fedora
army was Tctrcatiug to new base Of opera
tious, and each corps and division com
mander was left to shift for himself Sum
ner, HinhelmaD, Reyes and Porterrepe}let
the attacks Of the enemyauusupportcd, a
best they could, and the public conced
that they did excellently well under til
circumstances By hard fighting and goo
luck, the army finally reached the 1ive1
with less loss than was atfirst supposed.

It Is probable that Col. Halbert E. Paine, of

Gen. Williams at Baton Rouge for refusing to
drive cotrabands out Of his camp, has been

place the 4th was at the last accounts, bear
his signature, as the commanding officer Of the
