executive consist in the danger of COM
initials on points which could be more
safely left to future developments. Care
has been taken TO so shape The document
as to avoid embarrassments from this
source. Saying that, on certain terms,
certain classes will be pardoned, with
rights restored, it is not said that other
classes or other terms will never be in
cluded and saying also that reconstruc-
ton will be accepted If presented in a
specified way, it is not said it will meyer
be accepted in any other way. The
movements by state action for enamel
patton in several OF the States, not inclu
ded in the emancipation proclamation,
are matters of profound graduation, and,
while do not repeat in detail what
have heretofore 50 earnestly urged upon
this subject, my general views and feel
ings remain unchanged, and trust Con
gress will omit no fair opportunity of aid.
ing these important steps to the great
contamination.
IMPORTANCE OF THE WAR POWER.
In the midst Of other cares, however
important, we must not lose sight of the
fact that the war power is still our main
reliance, and to that power alone can we
look yet for a time, to give confidence to
the people in the contested regions that
The insurgent power will not again over
run them. Until that confidence shall
be established, little can be done any
where for what is called reconstruction.
Hence our chiefest care must still be d.
rected TO the army and navy, who have
thus far borne their harder parts so nobly !
and we'll And it may be esteemed for
tunate that in giving the greatest eflicien-
cy TO these indispensable arms, we do al
so honoraby recognize the gallant men,
from commander to sentinel, who COM
pose them, and to when, more than TO
others, the world must stand indebted for
the home of freedom, disenthraled, re-
iuvenated, enlarged and perpetuated.

A DUN.

We this week commence 10 send bills
to those who are indebted to US on sub
scription for the STANDARD, and We
hope for prompt answers TO them in tie
way of money. We hope no one will
take offence, for such things must be
done, especially when one gets in arrears.
Where man owes US few weeks we
have made out his bill for Sl,25 and
where he owes little over a year we
have made it out for $3.50, and so on.
We wish for pay in advance, and if any
man in the county has 81 ,25 about bis
clothes we want he should send it to US,
and if he has not got so much as that
let him borrow it; be might as we'll owe
his neighbor as US.

Recruiting.

Recruiting goes bravely on in this
State, and SO far as we have any knowl-
edge, in most of the others. The offer of
large town bouniies has had the effect TO
bring out the men, and the season of the
year is favorable for enlistments. We
think there will be no draft in this State.
Two hundred dollars is the smallest town
bounty that we hear being offered in tbis
State. Rutland gives $500, Hartland
$500, and several other towns give the
same; Westminster offers 5000, Bethel
$500, and great many other towns Of.
fer $500. The above bounties are to
actual residents.
In this county the work of recruiting
goes on swimmingly. The quotas for the
towns of Albany, Glover, Barton, Gov
entry, and several other towns are now
full. Jay has filled her quota besides
some four or more on the neAs
call, and she is now lending a helping
hand to other towns, helping them to fill
their quotas. Brave, bully, spunky lit
tie Jay !
We see that the selectmen of Iras-
burgh have called town meeting to SEQ
if the town will vote to offer bounies 10
hose who will enlist to make up our de-
ficiency on the draft. We hope to sec
this town show its generosity and sense
IF justice by paying not less than $500
each for those who shall enlist as well as
.he three who have already enlisted IN
Ter the late call, and we think $500 none
90 high. We shall now have an oppor-
unity to see who are the men and who
ire the mice in relation to this matter.

Profitable Investments.

The Philadelphia North American
gives some excellent advice to those who
wish to invest money. 1t is well for all
who are in funds to heed the counsel:
Though money has been mporarily
scarce, capital continues abundant,-and
the recent tumble in the stock market
has brought capitalists to a realizing
sense Of the unreliable character of many
of the securities dealt in. II is greatly
to the credit Of the Government, that its
loans, of all the securities daily dealt in
on the market, have maintained their 10
tegrity of price better than almost any
thing else. Its Five Twenty Years Six
Per Cent Loan, the interest on which is
promptly paid in gold, has been subscri-
bed TO, all through the pressure in the
money market, at an average of more
than two millions per day. And, what
is not the least gratifying fact in connec-
ton with the daily large subscriptions TO
this popular loan, scarcely any of it is
returned tc the market for sale. 1t is
taken for investment, and is held with
un.altering confidence in its reliability.
And why should it not be 1t is seen,
that the Government now,-after two
years Of the most gigantic war that the
world has ever known,-experiences no
difficulty in commanding the necessary
means TO prosecute it, or in paying reg
l'arly The interest in gold as it falls due.
Ii this can be done while the war is be-
ng waged,-who c,n anticipate any diff
:ulty in readily accomplishing it when
he war shall be ended? What better
investment, then, for capital, than the
Five weniy" Government Loan? But
f any doubt. let him refer to the statis-
les furnished by the census>tables of the
various nations of the world. The facts
which they present will prove the most
satisfactory mode of dispeling the pun
'erless gloomy apprehensiens which are
'eing continually conjured up by those
Who are disposed to exaggerate the ex-
ent of the calamity occasioned by our
ebellion. A reference to the state OF
most Of The prosperous nations OF the
Id world clearly disproves such a posi-
ion, and shows that the highest condI-
ion of national advancement have not
'een materially effected by the extended
vars in which those nations have been
engaged, and tina, heavy
ational Indebtedness has not proved an
evil.
"For instance, Great Britain, France
md the Netherlands will undoubtedly be
onceded to represent the highest pros
'erity that has been attained by any OIL
he European nations. And yet no ma
