HE SOLID MEN or THE HoUsE-There are

a volunteer or drafted man, and takes the
ground that 1t would be as well or better
for the country 70 have the army replenished

all the best men from the country. whereas
the draft takes the men lndiscriminatelv.
MAJOR Rounds from Chester l. PROMPT. and

Rutland, Is one Of the most active and indus
triOus men in the House he speaks well. Is
at the head Of the committee on military af-
fairs, where much labor deyolves upon him
and he sustalns himself well in all positions.
Mr. shaw OF Burlington is Young man Of
much promise he speaks often. and carries
as much influence as any member of this
House. Mr. Dean of Cavendish. is one of
the solid men Of the House, and always speaks
TO edlhcation, and Is quite sure to be right.
Mr.. Wheeler Of Grand Isle, is one Of the
talking men; he talks easy and is always
found on the side Of those he considers op-
pressed. Mr.. White Of Coventry, is one of
some eight or ten members of the House who
are clergymen, and of course at home in pub-
lc speaking they are tenacious Of their or-
inions, and quite sure that their wav is
the rlght way. In discussions thev are gen.
orally on opposite sides, and it is sometimes
amusing on account of the tenacity with
which they hold to their own opinions. Mr..
Smith of St. Albans, is a brother Of the gov

that was upon the bill to authorize towns TO
aid drafted soldiers. 1t was considered by
some the best speech of the session. Mr..

I The CANVASS ~ NEW YoRk.-The political
canvass is very warm IN New York. In no
/ Presidential campaign, probably has more
/ work been done in the s;ime space OF time
I .hsn during the last week in this. The
large public meetings, addressed by eminent
public men, Tor the union cause, will count
up not less than 800 during the present
week, while smaller meetings are held in
almost every school district in the State. In
Clinton County. especially the canvass is
very active-and our townsman j. ). Adams,
Esq., among Others has been doing good ser
vice in rcnsing the people. They had
specially lively time at Rouse's Point on
Friday evening. The Union men and De
mocrats had each called a public meeting at
the same time and place and instead of fight
ing for the posses ion Of the hall eensibly
concluded to hold JOINT meeting Two de
mocratic speakers addressed the crowd and
were followed alternately by Mr.. McMasters
OF Plattsburgh and Mr.. Adams. The dis
cussion was very warm and lively and lasted
far into the night. The Republican speakers
are allowed to have had altogether the best
of the battle both in argument, eloquence
and repartee, and the meeting will doubtless
tell on the result in that quarter next Tues
day.

Atrx,xprR II. SrErHENS.-Among all the
illustri,us Statesmen that the Empire state
of the c,nfcleracy has claimed and does
clam As hers. none has been honored by the
world more for hS virtue, or respected, per-
han a. much for his practical wisdom, as
tbr rrcsent Vice President of this confedera-
cy. He stands justly and deservedly IN the
front rank Of living statesmen. The accura-
cv with which he has again and again lore
told the occurrence of important events JUS
rifles the assertion that we have heard made
yerv frequently about him, to wit That he
;s the wisest man living" When the pro-
yisional government was first organized al
Montgomery, Mr.. Stephens suggested the
immediate investment Of twenty-five million
dollars in iron-clad war steamers to keep
omen our ports and the indifference with
which that sagacious counsel was treated
has cost and will cost our government two
b,lIion five hundred million dollars. Had
the cotton been sent to Europe then, as 1t
might have been sent, and those war steam
ers been brought here, as they might have
been brought, our ports never would nave
been closed, recognition would have been IN
snred long ago, speculation on foreign goods
yvonld have fallen stillborn to the earth. and
extortion upon home products have never
fastened its deadly fangs upon the vitals OF
the land. Cotton would have then beep able
IN wear the crown belonging TO its roya
/ state. and would have been kind indeed
while Confederate scrip would have contlnu'
/ ed to stand 70 this hour where 1t stood then
/ and the voice of distress would have beer
nowhere heard on Confederate soil, save tn'
voice of that distress with which the hearth'
of our homes are overwhelmed when bittel
tidings are flashed upon them from distant
| fields of strife.

The House Bill to provide for soldiers vot-
ing, when cut Of the State. is reported on
by the committee adversely, on the ground
that the Constitution of the State expressly
limits the places where and the time
when votes are to be given for State and
County officers. for Senators and Represent
atiyes. The time is to be at Freemen's
meeting, first Tuesday Of September, and the
places where Freemen's meetings are 10 be
held must be within the limits of the towns
respectively. Moreover the votes are to be
brought an to Freemen's meeting by the
voters in person, and are to be delivered
there to specified officer, the Constable of
the town; and those votes and those only
are to determine who are elected. No DIS
cretion is left to the Legislature on these
points. The constitution settles them defn-
Itely. 1t is therefore out of the power of
the Legislature to provide for votes cast at
any other place than at Freemen's meeting
by the voters in person, or that votes cast
elsewhere and otherwise than by personal
delivery to the constitutional officer, the
Constable, should be taken into account by
the proper caEyassing committees
In every important respect therefore an
act such as proposed in the bill would be
unconstitutional and void. The Committee
refer to acts passed by Ohio, Iowa and Wis
consin, similar to the bill before them but
in those States, there are no such constitu-
tional restrictions as exist here and in some
other States but the whole power to regu-
late such elections i left with the Legisla-
turc

has been going on and increasing in interest
all the while, till now God has honored Us
with gracious revival Of religion among the
soldiery of this command. A few months
ago but two officers In the regiment were
members of the church now but few more
than that number are not professors of reli-
gion. About two hundred have joined the
church, and larger number have been con-
verted and are now happy in the love of
God. IL would do your soul good to visit

and hear the soldiers make the tattered walls
ring with the high praises of the living God.
