The PRESIDENT TO GEN ScHoFIELp.
The President has written character
istic letter to Gen. Schofeld, the new COM
mander of the department of the Missou-
ri. He says that he removed Gen. Curtis
because, being considered leader of one
the factions in Missouri politics, and Gov.
Gamble leading the other, he could not
remove the latter, and the removal of
somebody seeming to be the only method
of breaking up the quarrel. He adds
"Now you are in the position, wish
you to undo nothing merely because Gen.
Curtis or Gov Gamble did it, but to ex-
ercise your own judgment and do right for
the public interest. Let your military
measures be strong enough to repel the in
vaders and keep the peace, and not so
strong as to necessarily harrass and per-
secuts the people. 1t is difficult role
and so much greater will be the honor if
you perform 1t well. If both factions, or
neither, abuse, you will probably be about
right. Beware of being assailed by one
and praised by the other"

Revolution. Those whom he addressed
Were the children of those heroes They
sustained the proud honor of preserving
untarRished the memory of their fathers.
That memory should nerve them in
the day of trial-should invigorate them
in the hour of calamity. As You, the men
OF Vermont, said Gen. Cochrane, have
your eyes fixed ON these beautiful hills,
looking for the rising of the sun of liberty,
let II not be sand that by the stay of sin.
gle hand, the quivering of single muscle,
you have contributed even a single cloud
to prevent that early rising. Let it not
be said that Vermont ever consented to be
fought out of the Union II was say
ing of the Romans that while the Collos-
scum stood Rome would stand. 1t may
with much propnety and with truth be
said that while these Green Mountains
stand, the Union will stand. He closed
by saying that as Vermont knew how to
fight her way INTO the Union, she will
know how TO maintain her place in it.
Al this point IN the proceedings Col.
Joyce entered the Hall, and stated that a
dispatch had just come over the lines, an
nouncing that Gen. Meade had defeated
Lee in battle, had driven him six miles
and was pursuing. A scene of excite
ment and enthusiasm followed, which beg
gars description. Senator Foote was
again called up, and in trumpet tones, and
words of unusual power electrified the
audience with one of the most stirring
appeals to patriotism that even ever he
made.
Some volunteer toasts were offered and
remarks were made by several persons,
Deacon Samuel Grggs among others,
which onr space will not permit reporting.
The following toasts received from Spring
field, from veteran of 1912, we make
room for.
l. NRw ENGLAND LEFT ouf IN THE CoLp.-In-
ured to the storms of two hundred and forty win
tiers, she has nothing to fear from the northern
blast, and less to fear from Southern steel than
the continent were upon Rock, and her reliance
upon the Rock Of Ages. True to her prmeval
principles, may she live forever.
g. THE REBEL LEADERS OF THE Souru AND
THE CoPpERHEADs OF THE NoRTH..-Like Mil
toms devils, they prefer to reign in Hell rather
than serve IN Heaven. As they are better fitted
for the former than the latter, let no man stav
them.
teresting and patriotic letters were
read from Gov. Holbrook, Ex-Governor
Fletcher, ,Lieutenant-G Governor Dillingham;
Hon. John w. Stewart, Hon.
e. P. Walton, Hon. G. w. Willard, and
Others 9at
The Troy band was toasted and cheered,
then cheers and tiger were given for
the Orator of the Day, and the meeting
dispersed in the best of spirits at about
the hour of six.
The DINNER.-The dinner on Satur-
day was superintended by P.W. Downing,
the well known New York Caterer, and
we can most cordially recommend him to
all who are in need of similar services. He
was decidedly the "rght man in the right
place"
