them again in Morristown, and then they
said they were going to Plattsburgh We
have not particle of sympathy for them
since seeing the old man at Waterville,
for soon after he received the fifty cents
for the plaster we saw him take heavy
horn of spirit. and treat the friend who
was with him to the same, and in little
while he was again quite as thirsty, and
a good deal more generous, so that one was
not sufficient company in the effort to be
happy, and he invited several others.

WAR NEWS.

We have string news this week, and
it is of a character to make us hope
for the best in the future. There can be
but little doubt that Charleston and Fort
Sumpter are now in our hands, and that
this hot-bed of secession will now have
an opportunity to try the benefits of Fed
eral rule.
We have also news of q Cavalry skir-
mish near Drainsville, in which Co. I Of
the Vermont Cavalry suffers severely,
losing its captain, H. G. Flint, and first
Lieut.. Josiah Grout. There is also a re-
port that Lieut.. G. A. Woodbury. is killed,
but we have not seen his name mentioned
in the papers, in connection with the
affair, and We are inclined to hope the re-
port is not true.

FINED FOR SELLING LIoJp

Complaints having been made to Stats's
Attorney, j. Ross, Esq, that Dorm,r
Bridgman, the hotel keeper at South Hard.
wick, was engaged in the unlawful and
nefarious traffic of dealing out damnation
by the pint and single glass to both old
and young of his vicinity, he was brought
before justice Cyrus Underwood, at Eas,
Hardwick, on Tuesday of this week, and
pleading guilty in ten offences was fined
500 and costs, and left with many fai,
promises for the future The law.lovina
and temperance people of Hardwick are
much iDcensed at the manner in which
this man has violated law and decepcv
and feel relieved and rojoioed now that
this sink of pollution is shut up.
On complaint signed by nearly all the
ladies of Stevens Village, (Barnct) the
States Attorney caused VIM. Gleason Of
Barnet, to be arranged before justice Car.
bee, and being convicted of eighteen often.
ces, was fined $3.50 and costs. Gleason
took an appeal, but failing to procure
bonds, mitimus was issued and he was
put in Jail at St. Johnsbury where he re.
manned three weeks. Failing to get release
on writ of habeas corpus he finally got
released on a petition claiming he had
been deprived of his right of appeal and
that he should be permitted to enter his
appeal at the coming term of county court
by giving $500 bonds for the prosecution
of the appeal, &c.
Ifthe liquor sellers of Caledonia county
think they can carry on their nefarious.
business with impunity while the present
States Attorney holds Office, they will
find themselves mistaken. They will get
no mercy at his hands, and the sooner
they shut up their rum holes and sign
the pledge, and try and become respecta-
bic citizens, the safer and better it will
be for them. With such an efficient off,
Ger the temperance men of any town have
it in their power to clear themselves of
the rum traffic, and they are too blame if
they don't do it.

the hill under CALLING fire and hurled
his column upon the enemy. At the same
time Wolford and Col. Garrard, on the

broke in disorder, fed to their horses,
and under cover of the woods pushed on
through Somerset in great disorder. A

ey Mr.. Walton writes from Washing

ey Mr.. Walton writes from Washing
ton on the Sd inst, in relation to the cav
airy fight: The story was that our men
found Mosby's men out of their saddles,
and made charge upon them, expecting
to capture them, as the rebels captured
Woodward and part Of his men under like
circumstances; but it was trick of the
rebels, who were safely hidden behind a
stone wall, and poured in murderous fire
upon our men as they came up"
Mr. Walton thinks there is something
mysterious about the affair, and says:
"Mosby's men are in fact mounted infant
ry, or carbineers. Our officers under
stood that fact, and that Mosby fights on
foot. 1t seems to me therefore unreason-
able to believe that any officer Of our
cavalry would be caught in the manner
described"
1t is reported that Harvey Lilley. of
this town, is wounded, and among the
prisoners.
We learn that the remains of Lieut..
G. A. Woodbury. were expected by his
