The Tr,,c Policy.

Since the commencement of the present
war. the arming af the blacks as policy of
the sGcvernment, has received from Cop
perhead sources, all sorts of ridicule, and ev-
cry opprobrious epthet imaginable has been
heaped upon those who have advocated the
adoption of such a polcy---at least this has
been the case until quite lately--now, how.
ever, When the stern and impartial Con-
scription Act is about to be put in force,
there is observable much greater degree of
willingness than heretofore to have them
employed. 1t has been fairly demonstrated
recently at Port Hudson and elsewhere that
they can fight, and since they are willing
to, we cannot see any reason why they
should not be allowed to.
Probably one million men have already
gone forth for the purpose of putting down
the rebellion,--let the blacks have as fair
-i--ana44aG these have had, and officers to
lead who believe in them and whom they
can trust, and we think they make at least
as good record as our white troops have
made. AT any rate, we believe the true
policy to be 10 receive as many as can be
induced to enter the service, on the same |
footing as to pay and bounty as other vol
unteers, and if they do not, with proper off
GERS, prove worthy oor confidence. we shall
be willing to confess that our belief as to |
the capabilities of their race has been too
great. The least that can be done is to
give them fair trial. ~

" Stand by the Constitutions,

What particularly distresses the peace
men OF the Fernando Wood stamp is, they
say, that the Administration does not adhere
strictly to the spirit and letter of the Con
stitution. They will not admit that any
state of things has yet arisen, or possibly
can arise, in which it is justifiable to diverge
one hairs breadth from the plain require
ments of that sacred Instrument. OF the
ten resolutions adopted by the Peace Con-
vention in New York, no less than eigh,
dwelt upon this topic, charging the Coy
eminent with disregarding and overriding
the Constitution in a great variety Of ways
while they, on the other hand, regard obe-
dience TO the Constitution" as "the only
means for perpetuating the Union, and by
1t The only hope of restoring the same
After this emphatic and rather ingram
NAUTICAL declaration, they come to the only
practical recommendation in all that wild
erness Of words, as follows -
"We recomend, in the name of the peo-
pie, that there be suspension of hostilites
between the contending armies Of the divid-
ed sections OF our country, and that Con-
vention of the States composing the Con-
federate States, and separate Convention
of the States still adhereing TO the Union.
be held to finally settle and determine in
what manner and by what mode the con-
tending sections shall be reconciled."
Now. it surely ought to be the first ques-
ton considered by the originators of this
recommendation. q Is it constitutional % OF
course, any arrangement which is TO set
tie and determine in what manner and by
what mode the con,ending sections shall be
reconciled," must have the force of law,
and so must come lesilimately from some
department of the Government, or else be
engrafted upon the Constitution as a new
amendment. But how can this strange
project of two conventions accomplish such
result II can neither make, expound or
execute laws on the one hand, or amend the
constitution on the other. The constitution
in short, warrants no such proceeding. II
provides for"a convention for proposing
amendments" but has nothing which adj
mits the idea of two conventions, each rem
resenting fraction of the United States.
We see, then, that these men, who are con-
tinually harping upon obedience to the
constitution as the saving. principle of the

state The dispatch from Gen. Pember-
ton to Gen. Johnston, captured on Thurs.
day. read =" Our forage is all gone. The
men are on quarter. rations. The ammuni-
ton is nearly exhausted. We can hold
out ten days." Ii
On Friday Gen. Grant ordered every
gun in position, to throw shell into Vicks-
burg. In one hour 5000 were safely
lodged in the city, but with what result is
not known. The ten days spoken of by
the rebel dispatch .captured, expired on
Sunday last and if there was any truth in
it, decisive result would be arrived at this
week.

Y STATE CoNvENTIoN.-The Copperhead
State Committee, appointed at their Con-
vention in this place last year, have called
a State Convention TO be held at Montpelier
on Friday, the Goth Of June. II is UNDER
otood that few old democrats in the north
part of the State will attend this year, to
make it little more decent if possible, and
not have it SO shameless and aband med as
was the case last year; but they will hardly
succeed.

Rev. Father Cardinal, French Catholic
Priest in Burlington, had providentia es-
cape from drowning on Wednesday of last
week. He was crossing on " the bar" from
Milton to South Hero with horse and cal
riage, when, owing to the violence of the
wind, and force of the waves. his horse lost
his foothold and was pushed into deep wa
ter, and was drowned. Mr.. Cardinal re-
manned in the carriage in the water for an
hour and a half, when he was discovered
and rescued from his uncomfortable position
by parties on the Island, who went to his as
sistance in boat.
REcRUITs.--Sergeant ii. ]. Nichols, re-
cruiting for the list regiment, with his
headquarters in Burlington, sent off last

Tuesday evening, by Rev. Robert w. Lew
is. On Wednesday, the customary open
ing religious services were held, and in the
afternoon there was social gathering at
the residence of Bishop Hopkins, also a
business meeting of the Trustees of the
Vermont Episcopal Institute, in the Insti
tute Library. Wednesday evening in con-
nection with divine service at the church,
a sermon, commerative of the late DIR. Man
ser, of Bennington, was preached by Rev.
Mr.. Bachelor, of Manchester. The con-
vention was wed! attended, delegates from

on Friday morning last, from Washington,
of the death of Capt. l.. II. Bostwick, of
Jericho, 18th regiment. His disease was
typhoid fever. A few days ago be appeared
so well that arrangements were made for
bringing him home, but the spirit has gone
to its final home, and the body only, will
rest under the shadow of Mansfield, in one
of the most beautiful valleys of Vermont.
Capt. Bostwick was an only son, and great
ly endeared TO his family and friends. He

Battle at Port Hudson.

| Gen. Banks has fought a severe battle
with the rebels at Port Hudson, and that
place appears now TO be invested somewhat
after the manner of Vieksburg by General
! Grant.
On Wednesday, May %, the battle COM
menced, and ragged with dreadful fury till
P. NJ, when finding it impossible to carry
the strong works of the rebels, our forces
tell back 10 their original position, and it
was expected when the steamer left that
another attack would be commenced next
day.
The LIST Vermont battery had kept up a
continuous bombardment in concert with
Admiral Farragut's fleet, for several days.
Gems. Sherman, and Neal Dow, were both
wounded. Col. Kingman, of the 18th N.
H., was killed. No loss in the Vermont
9Th was reported when the steamer left.
In this battle the experiment Of negro
soldiers was tried in the most thorough
manner, and we give the result as recorded
by correspondent Of the " Y. Herald.
which paper is opposed to arming the neg
roes, as follows:
CONDUCT OF THE NEGRO TROOPS.
The I'd regiment Louisiana Native
Guard, Col Nelson, were in the CHARGE
upon the enemy's works; they went on in
the advance, and when they came out six
out OF nine hundred could not be accounted
Tor. 1t Is said on every side that they fought
with the desperation Of tigers. One negro
was observed with rebel soldier in his
grasp, tearing the flesh from his face with
ms teeth, other weapons having failed him.
There are other incidents connected with
this regiment that have raised them very
much in my opinion as soldiers After fir
ing one voiley they did not design to load
again, but went in with bayonets, and wher-
ever they had a chance it was all up with
the rebels.
While an occasional shot was being fired
before the battle commenced in its more
deadly fury, speculations were rife as to the
