p ROSPECTUS
OF THE
RUTLAND HERALD.
VOL. LXVIII.

On the first of January, A. d. 1862, we shall
enter upon the publication of Volume Sirty- Eight
of the RUTLAND HERALD.
The HERALD was established in 1899, and was
the first newspaper, and is the oldest, ever pub
lished in this State. Its progress has been grad
tal and uniform, and, since it passed under its
present Proprietorship, it has been the aim to
keep in the current of Improvement which has
80 signalized the past few years.
We intend to make the HERAL LID a leading YER
MONT NEWSPAPER. Every effort will be made
to increase its Value and Usefulness as Journal
devoted TO LOCAL and STATE AFFAIRS; while a
Comprehensive Summary of AMERICAN and
FOREIGN NEWS will fill its columns from week
10 week.
In Politics, it will be devoted entirely to the
interests of FREEDOM and REPUBLICAN INsTI-
TUTIoNs 1t will defend the Union, and support
the CONSTITUTION as the Palladium of Civil and
Political Freedom in America. 1t will give a
generous and hearty. though not a merely par
tizan support to the Administration of PREsI-
DENT LINCOLN; reserying, however, the liberty
las is the duty of public iourna) to criteise or
dissent from any proposed Measure or Policy
which the HERALD may not deem compatible
with the National Interest
Its Editorials will embrace Discussions and
Comments upon all the diversified and important
Topics of the Age and the Day; and twill be the
aim of the Proprietors to have this Department
OF the HERALD signalized for its Boldness and
Independence; yet at all times subservient to the
ends of Truth and Justice.
Among the interesting features of the HERALD,
for the year to come, will be its ARMY CORES
PoNDENCE. The Publishers are making arrange
ments to increase largely the number of Cores
pondents in the Field of Military Operations
They expect to receive Communications regular
iy from the VERMONT TROOPS on the Potomac,
and from the Regiments about going from this
State to the SOUTHERN COAST.
The SKETCHES OF THE MEN OF VERMONT,
embracing all her Governors Judges, Senators,
and Members of Congress, will appear every
week in the HERALD, during the year. They
are ORIGINAL SKETCHES, written specially for
the HERALD, and will add much to the available
Historical Records ofour State.
The INTERESTS OF LOCAL AGRICULTURE and
MECHANICAL and MANUFACTURING SKILL, will
also receive special attention. and, in short,
whatever relates to the Business and Social
Progress of Rutland County and Western Yer
mont will find space for consideration in the
columns of the HERALD.
ADVERTISING
The HERALD offers increased facilities and
therefore greater inducements to Advertisers than
ever before 1t circulates among all CLASSES OF
PEOPLE, and its SUBSCRIPTION LIST is con-
stsntly augmenting.

and WEEKLY HERALD, and of Advertising, see

were after some delay despatched in search
of the rebel vessel, but it was too late, as
she succeeded in escaping, and carried the
schooner with her to Craney Island.
From Kentucky we learn that Hum
phrey Marshall, at the head of $500 reb-
els, is terrifying Prestonburg, and is ex-
pected to make an attack on Maysville.
General Buell., however, has ordered IA
brigade, under Colonel Garfield, to meet
him and battle is likely soon to take
place at that point, if Mr., Marshall car
ries out his reputed designs. ss#
The news. from the South is interesting
and important. From the statement of
two gentlemen whorecently arrived at
Cairo from the extreme South, we learn
that the sugar and cotton planters have al
ready mortgaged their plantations, in or
der to raise means of subsistence for their
families and slaves Many of the most
intelligent and influential of the cotton
and sugar growers frankly acknowledge
that their. ruin is sealed unless the federal
blockade is raised. In the1 city of New
Orleans large and formidable organiza-
ton of Union men exists, who are ripe
for insurrection against rebel rule when
they shall have been satisfied that the I'm
ion army is in condition to sustain them.
The late military review in New Orleans,
about which the rebel papers give such
glowing accounts, in reality had the APP
pearance of avery large mob. The men
were totally without discipline, and about
one-third OF them even without arms.

THE FOREIGN PRESS ON JEFF

The London Times is quite severe on
Jeff Davis confederate" message. 1t
does not regard his scheme of finance with
much confidence. 1t says of another
part of the message:

tience the hypocritical lamentations of Mr.
Davis, the President of a confeaeracy
which may be said to live, and move, and
having its being under the special patron
age of Judge Lynch, over the violation OF
personal liberty, the suppression of the
freedom of the Press, and the intimida-
ton of the Courts Of Justice, consequent
in the North upon the civil war. These
things, which the South regards with con-
temptuous astonishment, the war has not

nave fallen upon women and children. and
the attempt to raise servile insurrection.
These things were for the consideration Of
those who first Lit the torch of civil dis

imply that by ceasing to grow cotton the
Southern States will bring ruin on all the
interests of foreign countries, dependent
upon that staple, On this point let him
undeceive himself. The failure of the
cotton supply of the Southern States is
like the loss of familiar face, at first
deeply regretted, then occasionally missed,
and then not missed at all. We are learn
ing how well we can do without him, and

The Paris Journal des Debats is not
less severe upon jeff Davis. II alludes
to the fact, that in seeking the friendship
of foreign powers, Davis does not. allude
to slavery. ThesDebats says;
'But what still more astonishes and af-
ficts us, is to,see the President of the
new Confederation, the Chief of these
eight millions OF men who have broken
their bond with their old Government in
order to defend slavery, invoke the great
principles of right, justice, and humani-
ty, and even name Providence in support
of that detestable cause. "Liberty," says
Mr.. Davis in conclusion, sis always won
whereIthere exists the unconquerable will
to be free, and we have reason to know
the strength that is given by conscious
sense not only of the magnitude but of
therrighteousness Of our cause" These
aIF certainly magnificent words, but in the
mouth of President Davis, and applied to
the cause which he represents and defends
they are not only monstrous contradic-
ton and scandal, but blasphemy."
Prince Napoleon, it seems, is friendly
to the North, and his influence, it is ad-
mitted by the Paris correspondent of the
London Times, is considerable" with the
Emperor. There are some signs of I'M
easiness apparent in the spirit of the Eng
fish press, relative to the position of
France, though in the present quarrel it is
assumed Napoleon will observe. strict neu-
trality. On the other hand, England has
reason to feel that Napoleon, wary and
sagacious as he is, only awaits the proper
opportunity to show his love for her in a
way that shall satisfy his ambition.

Slavery in the Territories.
GEO. Z. BRIcHETr,
Surgeon 9th Me. Reg.

The following is Mr.. Lovejoy's bill abol'
ishing slavery in the territories
"Be il enacted. That Slavery or involun'
tary seryitudc, in all cases whatsoever. other
than in punishment of crime whereof thu
party shall have been duly convicted, shall
henceforth cease and be prohibited forever in
all the Territories of the United States now
existing, or hereafter to be formed, or acquir-
cd in any way"
The bill passed the House OF Representa-
tiyes by IS yeas, to so nays-beins nearly
party vote. The passage of this bill by the
Senate will settle the question of slavery in
the territories, so far as legislation is con
cerned, in accordance with the ayowed prin'
ciples of the Republican party, in the last
Presidential election. The prohibition Of
slavery in the territories was the issue dis
tinctly presented by that party-and upon
that issue they elected Mr.. Lincoln. The
District of Columbia is free from slavery and
we have no doubt but the Senate will concur
with the House of Representatives, and then
the territories will also be forever free. No
back steps will be taken.
