Captain Cobnrns Volunteer Company

The organization OF the company Of youn-
teer militia raised in Berlin, East Montpelier
Marshfeld, Cnlais and Worcester, took place
at Hammetts Hall, IN east Montpelier, Friday
the Doth, at . o'clock, 2. NJ. Hon. Addison
Peck presided at the election Of officers with
his accustomed dignity and impartialty. The
following officers were elecled
Captain, LEwis L. CogURN b. Montpelier
First Lieutenant. Gro. 5 ROBINSON, Berlin.
Second Lieutenant, NM. 4. MARTIN, Jr.,
Marshfed.
Captain CoBuRN received tho unanimous vote
Of the Company, and the announcement OF his
election was hailed with the most vocllerous
cheers. In the election Of LIST Lieutenant some
few votes were brown for another man, owing
simply, we believe, to an unfortunate misunder-
standing relative to the position and standing Of
tic two candidates. MIR. Robinson, however
received all but eighteen Of the votes of the
Company, and The enthusiastic cheering of his
friends, both inside and outside OF the Hall,
when the rceult was announced, plainly told
that the hearts Of the assembled multitude were
with Mr. X. For % Lieutenant, there was
quite smart rivalry between the towns Of
Marsbfeld and Worcester. Both candidates
were most worthy young men, and tue Company
Only regretted that both could not have the
place. Tho first ballot showed an equal mum
Der Of votes for each candidate On the second
ballot MIR Martin was elected by fair majority
We doubt not that Worcester will BE- most gen
erousy remembered in the distribution OF non
commissioned officers ; and hat unitedly anC
amicaby the Company will be ever really to dc
its whole duty in the work of suppressng re
bellion.
AT the conclusion Of the election, Mr.. Peck
in few brief but most patriotic and eloquent
remarks, gave the company into the care Of
Capt. Co6urn.
After reading to them the instructions Of tht
Adjutant General, Capt Coburn gave the entire
company furlough till Monday morning
when they are to be inspected by DIR. j. Y
Dewey Of Montpelier.

what the influences Of prosperity never
taught us; what we did not even read in
the first red pages Of this war, that OF al
we have as people, Of life as well as Ii
bersy, "eternal vigilance" is the price.
4 blind devotion, zeal without knowl~
edge is not to be coveted. The people are
not, and can hardly he, educated at West
Point; but even military minds can com
pass and comprehend attained results, as
well as compare them with results coveted.
The people cannot be too watchtul, public
Journals cannot be too jealous for the pub
lie right and safety. The error on the
other side is the easiest. We firmly be-
lieve all our present evils are transient.
Bad leadership may delay, but can
not utterly ruin Treason covert aud

The Fruit Seas0u.

The present is c bountifnl year in the Or
ctards. Pomona has poured her gifts from a
full horn, and the only disaster orchardists
fear is the breaking of boughs bending under
tull truitage. In nc season for many years has
this been so generally true. The older States
of the middle and seaboard sections Of the
country are, by virtue of long years Of culture
and careful training, the recipients Of such
stores Of truit that where the boughs have not
given away, prices have done SO, and there is
literally no market for the luscious apples and
plump pears, which are the staples Of the
summer fruit crop The writer has recently
passed brief period in New England, and
fi1ds this the everywhere noticeable texture.
In central and eastern Massachusetts, the
finest Of Summer apples are rotting upon the
ground for the utter lack of induccmeat to
send them to market. The crop of pears is
marvellous in amount, as all the fruit Of the
pre:ent year is excellent in quality, for per
fec:ion and eoundncs5.
This full year follows one as strongly marked
for the dcarth Of fruit. There are orchard:
that will this year give as many barrels Of no
bic fruit as they yielded in scarcely peck5 1a5
year. The same facts are nearly true Of the
entire country, Everybody but consumer

Wrong.

Several journals Specializing upon the prob
abe capture Of Washington have fallen into an
error as to the position Of foreign ministers
under such q state Of affairs. Foreign minis
ters are accredited By their governments to
tue person Of Abraham Lincoln, Presidcn. of
tile United Statcs, and must follow mis- person.
They caGno, recognize, as these journals stem
to think, as dc tueto government, rebels who
may seize Washington, since it is not the city
OF Washington, but the president to whom
they are accredited. 1t is not likely TINT any
representative Of q foreign power here would
take upon himself the responsibility of recog
nizirg confcderacy as dc Jaeto government
which his own government has thus far re
fused to recognize.

We have shown how Small Is the

Immediate future, the prospect is gloomy in
the extreme. Chief reliance is placed upon
the supply Of surat sorts, but it is not by any
means encouraging to find that the total gu ~

We are highly gra1ited to learn that Cen Q.
B. Wilcox, Of this city, has been assigned q
division in Gen. Burnside'6 army corps, the
location Of which, at this time, we are not per
mitted to state. This circumstance is pecu-
liarly gratifying to Gen. Wilcox, from the fact
that he and Gen. Burnside were class mates at
West Point, and renewed their former intima-
CT, after years Of separation, on the disastrous
field of Bull Run, Of 1861, where, our distin-
puished fellow citizen Was taken prisoner.
No po5jtion in the army could have been more
gratifying to him than he row holds. and We
Congratulate him that matters have shaped

SoRoUM CONVENTION. The Sorghum
Convention which assembled at Columbus
on the 7lh inst. at the Agricultural Hal
Of Messrs. Gill & Son, seems TO have been
success in all important particulars. No
less thau AZ specimens Of syrup were ex.
hibi'ed and 10 specimens OF sugar. Most
certainly this was an encouraging begin.
ming. and shows the promise ofthis branch
Of industry. Specimens Of wine and rum
were also exhibited as the product Of the
cane. Resolutions were adopted commend
ing the matter to the attention Of the State
Board of Agriculture as worthy Of special
attention, aud committee appointed TO
confer with them in regard to the matter.
There no lohger remains a reasonable
doubt but that in the next two or three
years, such progress will be made in the
cultivation and manufacture Of syrup and
sugar in the Northern States, as to 20 far
togards working an entire revolution.
