inst says, although the fact that the confed.

letter in the Boston Journal of the 24th. in
reply to certain inquiries addressed to him in
relation to the formal proposition" said to

presented as charge, an in.inuation or a

One of the best things Of the past week
has been the removal of Gen Buell. from COM
mand in Kentucky, and the appointment of
Gen Rosecraus to his place. Gen Rosrcrans
has won the name of fighting general, and
at the late battle of Corinth he achieved bril-
liant success. Gen Buell. has won the name
of complete failure and if our administra-
ton will 'releve" all those officers who fail
and promote those who win, the people will
yet have hope Of final success. With the
removal of Buell. comes the oft-repeated re-
port that the administration is determined
that further injurious delays shall no longer
be tolerated, and we hope they will not, Ell
Their in Kentucky or on the Potomac.

been so much talk about the dismissal of

What is Being Done at Montpelier.

Tile event Of the week at the capital was
the speech Of Hon Solomon Foot, who ad-
dressed the joint assembly and large con-
course of citizens in the representatives hall,
on Thursday evening. 1t is far too lengthy
for our paper this week, occupying FIVE OR six
columns of fine type in the Montpelier pa
pers. 1t is spoken of by all as a great
speech, Of bold utterance and burning elo-
quence. Waltons Daily Journal thus refers
to it:
We give our readers this morning verba-
tim report of the address of Hon Solomon
Foot, before the General Assembly. We do
not hesitate to declare the speech, as deliver
ed, one of the finest specimens of finished
rhetoric in composition, and brilliant oratory
III delivery, that ever warmed the hearts of
\ermonters. The force and eloquent power
OF the orators words excited the most enthu-
slastlc applause. The blows which he hurled
at traitors, at home and those in arms, were
thrust with vigor, and seemed to find re-
spouse IN every nearer, and as he closed this
part OF the subject with "a traitor has no
rtyM under the Constitution except the riqht
to be hanged by the neck till he is dead-and
the sooner he is admitted to the full timtion
Of that GRATED pririlege the better for the
country'-the response Of the audience:plain-
ly SAID amen" That the hopes and expec-
tatlons expressed by the eloquent Senator
may be realized, and the doubts and gloom
that under the magic Of his eloquence were

"Fight, or Die"

We would call attention to this forcible ar
ticle which We copy from the financial and
commercial department of the n. Y. indie
pendent. 1t commences on first page.
The impression is gaining ground that the
army of the Potomac isn't goir g to do any
thing. 1t is believed that it is the intention
of the commanding general to 60 into win
ter quarters and let this long beautiful fall
go to waste. 1t may be that the people judge
larshly, as the report continually comes Of
an immediate advance. But there is a gen
eral mistrust Of such reports they fall upon
the ear almost unnoticed, like the voice of
the man in the fable who was continually
crying wolf" "wolt"'
A few weeks ago the President visited the
army of the Potomac and had a secret in
terview with Gen McClellan. When he re-
turned to Washington those who ought to
know said he had arranged an advance of
the Potomac army upon the rebels, and that
within two weeks. The fortnight has pass
ed and the army remains where it was. The
friends Of Mcclellan say that the President
promised him that before the advance was
made the army should be clothed, shod and
armed; yet to this day part of our army
is shoeless and hatless, and many are with
out overcoats, tents or suitable arms. Who
, is to blame9 Some blame the President,
some Gen Mcclellan, and some the army
contractors.
Wherever the blame rests it is a burning
shame that such things exist The best
men of our land have sprung forward to re-
deem our country from the hands of the trai
tors who have risen up against it. They will
inSly offer Up their lives to the great cause
of human liberty ard government but they
ask to lie led against the enemy, not left tc
die in malar;ous swamps or rot in winter
quarters. If any Of US long for a decisive
contest, let US consider with how much great
err longing do our suffering soldiers look fol
battle, or a series of battles, that shall crush
the rebellion and allow those who escape both

They would endure anything if they coult
thereby close up the war.

enemy. If the present golden opportuni:!

THE REBELS ROUTED AND THEIR ARTILLERY
TAKEN
The following dispatch from Gen Curtis in
forms us of decided L MON victory by Gen
Seoted in Arkansas just over the Missouri
line -
ST Louis Mo, Oct %.
10 Major Gen H. W. Haleck: Our ar
mics are entirely successful again in north
west Arkansas. Gen Scofeld finding the en-
envy had encamped at Scaridge, sent Gen
Blunt with the first division westward and
moved towards Evansville with the rest Of
his forces. Gen Blunt, by making a hard
nights march. reached and attacked the re-
bel forces at Maysville, near the northwest
corner of Arkansas, at o'clock on the morn
ing Of the odd inst. The enemy were estima-
ted at from 5000 to 1000 strong.
The engagement lasted about an hour and
resulted in the total rout of the enemy with
loss of all his artillery, battery of g. pound
ers, large number of horses, and portion
of their transportation and garrison equip
ments. Our cavalry and light howitzers
were still in pursuit of their scattered forces
when the messenger left. Our less was
small.
