Mansfield Mountain.

We recently got away from our editorial abors
long enough to spend day on Mansfield Noun
tain. 1t was the 9th Of September and we fear
ed we were too late for the best views. But we
found that we were entirely mistaken. Septem
Der days are among the best on the mountain.
The air was clear, revealing with dlslnelness
almost wonderful, all the infinite variety of land
scape that is unfoded to the eye on the serene
heights Of the grand old mountain. The cult
waited fields and greensward we're less brilliantly
colored than when clothed in the liveler hues Of
their Summer beauty, but the vast reaches of for
est around and beneath us had, in the first fam
ing tnges OF Autumn, richer and more splendid
appareling than their earlier and more uniform
dress.-But we have no purpose OF describing the
matchess scenery that fills the wide horizon, OF
which Mansfield is the centre. 1t has changed
since July, but il it is different it is the more gor-
geous now and each day will add TO the divine
coloring of the forest, making its expanses go-
rious with the purple and gold Of Autumn. 1t
seems to US, fresh from our recent experience,
that those who enjoy mounaia scenery, or who
wou learn to love it, cannot find better time
to visit Mansfield, than in the serene September
weather, which is now clarifying all nature
The travel to the Mountain this year has been
much greater than ever before. Stowe has been
foil and running over, hotels and private houtes.
Mr.. Bingham, we understand, is to build another
and larger hotel at Stowe, which will be opened
in season for next Summers travel and he con.
templates charging the house on the Mountain,
which is now capable of lodging but about seventy
guests. Mansfield has now established its reputa-
ton among Summer tourists, and has become a
permanent attraction, and Mr.. Bingham is deter
mined to make these travellers as comfortable as
possible in their visits to the Mountain and what
he undertakes he accompishes.

We copy from the Poughkeepsie Daily
Eagle the following relative to the Second Yer
mont regiment on duty there during the draft :
The appearance Of the rank and file Of these
war Scared veterans as they marched up the
street with heavy tread in the dead hour OF
night was grand and imposing. Not word
was heard save now and then the usual military
orders. The regular tramp, the close ranks
and the erect position Of their bodies showed
plainly the excellent drill and discipline they
have acquired by over two years service IN the
fed
They have been on duty ia the city Of New
York during the draft in that district and their
presence in that city was marked by their extreme
politeness and orderly conduct. The citizens
among whom they were quartered speak highly
OF their character as a regiment and regret that
they left 80 soon. One thing in connection
with their appearance we forget to mention and
that is their cleanliness Of person. We saw q
number of them around the streets of our city
yesterday with their shoes and boots polished,
their cloths clean and everything appertaining
to their outward tout en- SenDiJLe in perfect
order.
A number of the officers and members taking
advantage of their close proximity to their
native state, have teegraphed to their wives and
families to come to this city. Quite number
have arrived here already, and happiness beams
from the countenancc Of each of them.
As soon as it was nosed among our citizens
that the regiment was out to the barracks the
roads leading to that place suddenly became
lined with pedestrians and vehicles Of every
description on their way to have look at the
. Green Mountain Boys. " We promise them a
cordial greeting from our citizens, and sincerely
trust that their services will not be needed to
put down any riolous assomblages.

policy to unfold our pro ramme too soon, as We
would thus be giving an advantage to the Re

time OF holding the Convention the Republi

We desire TO express a mild doubt of the en-

had not appeared in the Herald we should not
give it the least credit. Major EASTMAN, wheth-

be caught hobnobbing with Breckenridgers.

From the Boston Herald.
The Duty Of the Hour.

1t is no time now for men to be grumbhng
about trhes, and finding fault about this, that and
the other. II is no time for brainess demagogues
to spout their sympathies for Jefferson Davis and
his guerrilla band. 1t is no time for men TO be
elernally finding fault with the Union army and
the way the war is being conducted. 1t is no
time for men to get up conventions TO sympaihAa
with slavery and the slave power for that power
is broken, and broken in consequence Of the folly
Of the slave owners. The people should so vote
to sustain the Union cause, and vote ior that
party or that ticket which will be the most likely
to break down the rebel leaders and their scheme
for Southern Confederacy founded upon Slavery
and military Cespotism. There is no lodging
this question. The last act in this solemn drama
is drawing to q close, and free people must see
to it that they are not cheated out OF the fruits OF
their labor. They have gone into battle and sac
rifced their lives to maintain the integrity Of the
Union and our system Of government Millions
Of treasure have been expended for the same pur-
pose and now that the prize is within our grasp
It is important that the advantages gained should
not be thrown away in consequence OF any aneled
mistakes OF those in power. Let US wait until
the rebellion is over, and until the country is out
OF danger from any interference on the part o.
France CT Great Britain and then if men in high
places have abused their trusts the people car
vote them down. 1t will not answer in this crlsi.
to place men in POWER whore symPathies are with
the rebels. The only hope left TO the rebe lead
ers is, that the North will divide, and that the
peace party at the North may become triumphant
1t IS the duty Of the people in the Free States tC
see to it that the enemy derive no advantages il
this way, by elevating their friends in the Free
States to power, to aid them in their dying strug
giles.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE WAR.-A leading
rtice in the Independent says:
"a journey to Washington has quickenea our
faith in the government Unlike year ago, the
atmosphere Of that city now braces hope and
courage. Men now going there can come away
bringing with them an augmented confidence in
the great resources Of the government, and in
the fidelity with which these are applied to the
uses of the war. All the blunders, all the tardi.
ness, all the red.tape, cannot quench the great
fact that the government has set its heart and
soul upon putting down the rebellion and that
the rebellion will be put down. One cannot talk
an hour with the President without feeling that
whoever else may doubt the issue of the war,
Abraham Lincoln doubts not at all. Not naturally
a sanguine man, he yet believes that be is now
shutting his hand upon the prize of victory. When
sobermnded men feel enthusiasm, and slow.
going men feel that the end is near, and over
cautious men like Mr. Lincoln feel confident moi
only Of to day but Of tomorrow, let the country
at large be doubly confident that the crown Of
triumph is within reach, and that the President,
