ORLEANS COUNTY CoURT.-The court

set for the jury, and the term bids fair to
be a long one. The first two days of
court, there were larger number of peo-
pie present than we ever saw together at
any former court. A large number of
railroad cases are to be tried
Upon the first day of the term, Messrs.
L. H. Bisbee, John Y Young, and Geo. d.
Wyman, were admitted to the bar. With
the latter gentleman we have no acquain-
tance, and know nothing of his merits,
but the first two are good fellows, and
men of excellent talents, and will make

with Cleavland. He left the last named
because, as he termes it, things began to
get too heavy even for him he has yet
some "bowels of compassion left. The
careless, frank, western style of manner
and address belong to him. Ready for
fight, fun, or frolic. he is said to have
mingled with his dash and boldness a re-
markable prudence and caution. These
qualities, united to his almost slavish de-
votion to Fremont, make him and his
band invaluable to that commander. His
dress consists of pair Of pantaloons, of
a dark earthern hue, darker than buck
skin. The coat is made Of the dark gray
material of which frontiersman's hunting
shirts are mostly made; it is a loose sack,
trimmed in the cape and sleeves with
fringe, gathered in the back Immediately
under the shoulders, in folds or plaits.
This is bound at the waist with his pistol
belt His only arm Of defense. beside
the six shooter, is breech- loading rife,
weighing about ten pounds, and good for

The Fourth Mt johnson.

The people of johnson intend to pro-
vide for the entertainment of themselves,
and all others who may see 6t to attend,
the material for celebration which shall
be credit to the place, and worthy of
the occasion. At the same time il is the
intention to make the exercises and cere-
monies SO brief and various that none shall
feel that they are tedious. The big gun
which we have seen standing near Good.
rich's Hotel at Stowe Lower Village, has
been procured to speak to the people, and
it will first address them vsry early in
the morning, and afterwards on suitable
occasions during the day. This we know
to be very eloquent orator. Of the 9TH
er speakers we cannot testify, never hav-
ing heard them. Mr.. Dougherty, the
chaplain, we have heard few times, and
always with pleasure.
Two companies of young men and boys,
the boys to represent union soldiers in
the army, and the young men the rebels,
will furnish kind of entertainment
not usual on such occasions They are
being drilled by VIM. F. Merriam, and
will perform various cvolutions, and, if
we are rightly informed, will favor the
public with a sham fight
The ladies' land johnson can show as
many of these as any town in the county,
will, of course, take an active part in the
ceremonies. The States and the District
of Columbia are all to be represented in
the procession, and all the members of
Congress voting for the abolition of
slavery in the District Of Columbia, are
to be either personifed by gentlemen, or
represented by children, bearing the name
Of the member they each represent.
The Perkinsville Brass Band will be
present, and also the fife and drum. The
procession will be made up something in
following order:
LIST, Guards and Band; I'd, Chaplain
and President; Sd, Vice Presidents 18th,
Readers; 5th, Committee 9th, Ladies
Representing the different states; 7fh, La
dies 9Th, Gentlemen.
They are to march to grove near the
village, where will be had the following
exercises:
lst, Prayer by the Chaplain; I'd, Mu-
sic; Sd, Reading of the Declaration of
Independence; 4th, Music; 9TH, Grafton;
9th. Music; 9TH, Reading of Washing
tons Farewell Address; Sth, Toasts and
Music; 9th, Benediction.
The Hotels in the village will provide
for the satisfaction of the inner man, so
that no one need 60 away hungry.

SUICIDE IN pARToN.--A DR.. w. G..
Blood of Wells River, committed suicide
at the house of Luke Carpenter, near the
Bloomington line on Tuesday last, by
cutting his throat. Hewas going to visit
his sister in Morgan. He was found a
few hours before he died, and was able to
talk. He left few lines for his wife,
amounting to but little, however. There
is no question but that the deed had been
long premeditated. His effects were ia
ken possession of by the town authorities
of Bloomington. He was quite rich.
The following lines in pencil were found
in his hat:
II should rather the town authorities
would dispose of me, and pay no more
attention to the matter God have mercy
on my family! Oh, it is trouble God
be merciful to me sinner! Let me say
to every one be careful and not let one
unholy thought enter your brain. If
you do, and nurse it there, it will become
too large for you to control. find it is

Company "H," 9th Vermont Regiment.

The volunteers enlisted by Mr.. Dutton
were organized on Friday last, by Col.
Stannard, who came up for that purpose,
reaching this place in the forenoon of
that day. But little time was taken up
by the work, and the Col. returned early
in the afternoon, A. H. Slayton was
chosen unanimously as captain, as was G.
H. Guyer, lst Lieut.. G. R. Loveland, I'd
Lieut., had but small majority. After
their election they were each greeted with
hearty cheers. The company were then
marched to the Grocery of G. Hyde, and
treated to a glass of beer, at the expense
of J. A. Child, Esq.
1t being decided that the company
should leave for Brattleboro early on Mon
day morning, they were all allowed to 60
home, for last visit to their friends,
with the instruction to be back here by
10 o'clock on Sunday. At about o'clock
Monday morning all were called up, and
at about 2 o'clock all were loaded into 5
wagons and coach, provided by A. Dur
kee, of Stowe, for which place they start
ed, some Of them leaving weeping friends
behind, and reached there about half
past 4, all in good spirits, though some
what chilled by the damp morning air.
In less than an hour, Mr.. Mathews had
treated them all to beef steak, coffee, and
the other fxings, and they were soon
ready to start for Waterbury. Quite a
collection of the people of Stowe came
out to see them, and bid them good bye.
Mr.. Wilkins was called upon to make a
few remarks, but there being no time for
saying much, said he would "only pro-
propose three cheers for the spunky little
county which, after sending out four full
companies of infantry, and half COM
pany Of cavalry, can, on SO short notice
send another company like the one before
u.s." The cheers were given with good
will, for all took them to be for the de-
parting soldiers, as, no doubt, Mr.. Will
kins intended, and not for the county.
Just at this time, when all were ready
to start, D. Goodrich, who, by the way,
in addition to keeping hotel, which we
knov he can do, runs meat cart, and
buys and sends to market great many
calves, came along with load of these
youngsters. upon which James G. Town,
always ready with something to say
remarked, There comes another load
Of soldiers" This set all hands to laugh
ing, and they started off in the best Of
spirits. They reached Waterbury before
it had raincd much, and were soon under
shelter in a car left for their accomoda-
ton.
Mr. Dutton went with them to Brat
tleboro and reports leaving them in good
spirits. The position arranged the CON-
pany in the regiment gives them H, for
their company letter.
This makes the 9Th company now at
Brattleboro. The other two companies,
Washington and Windham County CON-
panies,--are expected to be on the ground
during the week, and the whole regimen,
is expected to be in readiness to leave fol

and will continue to drill them while they

Tn. Grea, Battle Before Richmond.

The great battle of the campaign has
been fought in front of Richmond, and
the result is in doubt. From q confused
mass of dispatches we gather that the
battle commenced on Thursday by an at
tack of the enemy on the right wing of
Gen. McClellan's army, near Mechanics
Vile, and that after two days of the most
desperate fighting, in which both sides
incurred heavy losses, our forces had held
their ground and gained some advantages
over the enemy. On Saturday, however,
part of Stonewall Jackson's army got
in the rear of our right wing. and went
down to the White House landing. But
the army stores had been shipped and
the few troops there had removed, having
been forewa-ned of Jackson's approach.
Telegraphic communication was interrupt
cd by the rebels, and we really know
nothing of what has happened since Sat
urday morning.
Indeed we do not know what Gen. Nc
Clellan's left wing was doing on Thurs
day and Friday. Some letters in an in
tercepted rebel mail say that Lee. with
the main rebel army, was to attack our
front while Stonewal Jackson attacked
and turned the right wing. 1t is proba-
BILE, therefore, that our whole line was en-
gagged on Thursday and Friday. If our
forces were successful on the left they are
now probably in Richmond. If they were
defeated they may be on the retreat to-
wards Yorktown, or may be holding their
original position, after repulsing the enc
my. We are left in painful uncertainty
as to the result 1t seems to be under
stood that it was Gen. McClellan's plan
to withdraw his right wing from Mechan-
icsville, and to advance his left directly
toward James river and Richmond The
attack of the enemy may have disarrang-
ed his plan, or he may have used it to
secure quicker success. There is good
reason to believe that large part Of
Beauregard's army from Corinth had
reached Richmond, and it is certain that
Stonewall Jackson's army of the Shcnan-
doah was there, so that the rebel force
probably largely outnumbered the army
of Mcclellan. If Richmond is taken over
these accumulated difficulties the glory
and satisfaction will be all the greater.
If its capture is delayed Gen. Mcclellan
must have men enough at once to make
sure and speedy work of it. The real
position of things, as we'll as we can make
it out, u.s. that Gen. McClellans right
wing has fallen back, and moved with
the left towards the James river, to make
q junction with the gunboat feet, and ad-
vance directly upon Richmond. If so we
consider the fall of Richmond sure
thing, and it's attack on that side will cut
off the retreat of the rebels southward.-
