ssT Rev. Mr.. Lord of Montpelier ha

Esy Rev. Mr.. Lord of Montpelier has
recently preached sermon. He talked
upon national affairs, and as is usual with
him, we believe, he spoke in that peculiar
style of conservatism" by which his hear
ers are not certain what he meant, and the
more they try to understand it, the more
they don't find it out. The sermon is pub
lished. The fog rises still thicker. The
Montpelier papers take it up-correspond-
ents pitch n--the Windsor Chronicle enters
the field--olher papers follow, end gener-
al discussion ensues, in which Mr.. Lord
himself freely mixes. Now why is all this !?
There is no man in Vermont more capable
of giving clearer expression to thought than
this same Mr. Lord. 1t is just this: When
a man undertakes to handle the subject of
slavery with gloves and gentilty, and at the
tip ends of his fqgers at that, he is sure to
raise just such an appendix as that now at
tached 10 Mr.. Lords sermon.

The Great Battle of Pitsburg.

At length, we have the official report Of
the killed and wounded, at the Great Bat
tie of Pittsburg Landing. The following
figures are taken from official reports, with
the exception of Premises division, from
which, owing to the capture of the General
commanding, no report has been sent in.
Many of the wounded have died since the
reports were male up, swelling our loss in

g5S' Gen. Pope has the right kind OF
strategy. He is rapidly proving himself
one Of the best generals the war has pro-
duced. His exploits are truly brilliant. In
connection with Commod re Foote, he cap
tured 5000 rebels ut Island No. 10, without
the loss of single man. But just now,
we doubt if there has been any more brill
liant strategy since the war began. than that
by which he has just bagged 1000 rebels
near Corin,h. 1t appears that he placed a
battery in an open field, on purpose for
them 10 take. They took the bait, and
bravely stormed the battery, when 10 they
were suddenly flanked and the whole force
captured on the spot. Their sudden sur
prise must have made picture for both
