The Work to Do.

1t is no time to discuss abstract questions
or to moralize about this or that policy. i,
is altogether too late to augue the moral
right of going to war; We are already in a
gigantic struggle for liberty and life even,
and the only question is how to carry on this
war to a successful termination. We have
left this question for the decision of an able
and We believe honest administration. This
administration has decided that the only way
in which to bring about peace that shall be
enduring is to fill up our armies already in
the field and subdue by force the rebels now
in arms. To this end the President has call
ed for 100000 more men, and he has given
the loyal states their choice, either to fill up
their several quotas by volunteering Or sub
nit to draft. Each town in Vermont knows
what it has got to do, either before the 9th
of January by volunteering or after that by
draft. 1t is useless to say it can't be done
1t is useless to regret what Congress has done
or what our legislature has left undone. The
only question now is, will you fill your town
quotas by volunteering or will You submit tc
draft We believe Vermont will accep,
the first proposition, if large bourties and
hard work will secure the men.

Gen. Burnside was attacked on Saturday
afternoon the 18th, by Longstreet who had
crossed the Tennessee between Knoxville
and Kingston. The rebels being in superior
force, our troops fell back to Lenoir, repuls-
ing three charges of the enemy on Sunday
night. Thursday morning our line of battle
was formed at Campbell's Station, and a
battle came on. The rebels were driven back
to the river at last by the fire of Cur bate
ries, and our troops remained in possession
of the field. The trains being by this time
all safely in retreat, on Tuesday morning Our
troops again retreated to Knoxville having
lost at Campbell's Station over 200 men.
On Tuesday the rebels again attacked Gen.
Burnside's position, driving him back third
of mile, with loss of about 100 men. 1t
was thought a general engagement would
come on Wednesday. Tie position now
held by our troops around Knoxville is said
to be a strong one and we'll fortified, and the
troops are in good spirits and confident of
success.
The latest news from Gen. Burnside is
tina! he was still holding out, and was able
to hold Knoxville

that nation or any nation so conceived and
so dedicated can long endure. We are met
on great battle field of that war! We are
met to dedicate portion of it as the final
resting place of those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. 1t is alto
gether fitting and proper that we should do
this, but in larger sense We cannot dedicate,
we cannot halow this ground. Brave men,
living and dead, who struggled here, have
consecrated it far above our power to add or
detract. (Appause.) 1t is for US, the liv-
ing. rather to he dedicated here to the fin
isbing of the work that they have, SO far,
thus nobly carried on. (Applause.) 1t is
rather for US to be mere dedicated to the
great task remaining before US; that, from
these honored dead, We take increased devo-
ton to that cause for which they here gave
the last full measure of devotion that We
here highly resolve that the dead shall not
have died in vain (applause) ; that the nation
shall, under God, have new birth of free
dom, and that governments of the people by
the people and for the people, shall not per-
ish from yhe earth. Uong continued ap-
plause with cheers for the President and the
governors of the loyal states.)

SOLDIERS PAY.-A Washington dispatch
says bill will be introduced into Congress
early in the session to have the bounty O.
soldiers paid in monthly installment in adj
dition to their monthly pay. This will make
their stated pay $50 per month instead o.
Sl3.
IMPORTANT To PENSION AGENTs.-All per.
sons transacting business with the pension
office will be required to file in that office ev-
idence that they haze taken out the license
required by the excise law. This fact may
be shown by certificate from the collector
from whom their license was obtained, or by
copy of the license duly authenticated.
The identy Of the dead soldier who was
found on the bloody field of Gettysburg
with the picture of his three pretty littl,
children tightly clasped in his hands, has
been sscertained within day or two. The
wide publicity given to the touching circum.
stance through the medium of the press pro-
duced the desired result. The name of the
deceased was Hummerton, and his widow
and three children reside at Portville, Cat
teraugus county, New York.
New buildings are going up very rapidly
in New York, probably four or five hundred
at the present time. Among them are five
Or six hotels, which are greatly needed fol
the accommodation of the public. One OF
these, the St. James, on the corner Of Broad.
way and Twenty-sixth street, will be ready
for occupation in few weeks, and is fully as
nice, thong h lot quite as large as the Fifth
Avenue.

Another Rebel Conspiracy.
VERMONT THREATENED.

The following telegraphic dispatch appear
ed in the Boston Journal of Monday:
BURLINGTON, VI, Nov. % Considerable
excitement was caused yesterday in the vii
lagos of Rouse's Point and ST. Adams. by
reports that body Of secessionists in Mon-
treal had planned t. seize Fort Montgomery
destroy the drawbriige at Rouse's Point and
plumber Plattsburg and Burlington. Infor-
nation of such plot reached Governsr
Smith, and Collector Clapp of this port, OF.
Friday. They immediately took steps to
communicate with the officer in charge OF
Fort Montgomery, who soon had its guns
manned and ready to give the reneSades a
warm reception. This scheme was probably
linked with the Johnson Island project Am
pie preparations nave been made by Cover
nor Smith to repei any attack which may be
made on our border.
Some of the state papers are inclined to
make light of this last rebel raid scare. The
Freeman closes an account of it as follows
AS rapidly as We get reliable information
from this rumored raid we will give it to oul
readers; and if we ascertain that the rebels
have got above Bottoms falls We will prompt
~ issue an extra, with the alarming intelli
gence. In the meantime we suggest thai
preparations for thanksgiving next Thurs
day proceed as usual.

More Horrible Accounts from the Rich.
mOnd Prisons.
PETER I. WAsHBURN,
Adj't and ms. General.

DR.. Walters, an Indiana scout, captured
in Georgia, and just released from Richmond.
says the deaths of our men in the Richmond
hospitals average 43 day, and that most of
them get their death warrants on Belle Is
land. This sandy desert is low, damp, swept
with winds, and wrapped in fogs. Our men
are without blankets, and bu, one-third of
them sheltered under mold-eaten tents. All
the starved sicken instantly, and run down
with frightful rapidity. Four dogs, enticed
to the island during the twenty days that
Walters was confined there, were greedly
cooked and joyfuly eaten. In the hospital
to which he was transferred the sole diet
was corn bread, made up without salt Not
beef animal has come to Richmond in
twelve days. Virginia is swept tor food; so
are the border portions of North Carolina
Tennessee and Kentucky. Five thousand
Union prisoners are now on the way to
Lyncaburg and Danville, for easier access to
such food as can be reached. Walters pic
ture of waste time and cunning in a vain
endeavor to entice the more coniding one of
four fat pups from slut seated outside a
fence, which coops our men on Belle Island
to trot under.it to be eaten up,is one of CHASTITY
humor, and a sure measure OF the misfortune
to which oar friends so speedily succumb in
that Golgotha.

The Army Certainly Moving.
A BATTLE EXPECTED

The army of the Potomac was under or
ders to march at dawn on Monday, with ten
days cooked rations in haversacks and wagons
1t was supposed that the whole army would
be across the Rapidan before noon, unless
the rebels resisted the crossing, in which
case there has been battle. If the crossing
of the RapiGan was not resisted it is evident
Lee is not strong enough to fight outside of
his Notifications, and he will probably fall
back upon Gordonsville and Richmond. Our
officers and men, and animals, are in good
condition. All the sick and disabled have
been sent to the rear. 1t is presumed that
the army will cross the river at Germania
Ford. II is rumored that the main force OF
Lees army is at Hanover Junction, which is
about midway between Fredericksburg and
Richmond.

Why the Russians Came.

AS was saying, the bal! is over, the Rus
sian fever has subsidized, and our pulse is
again calm and quiet. We have shown our
friendly feeling, and if We have met them
with little too much empressemeu," they
have very calmly met our advances. And
now we begin to learn the object of their
visit all very friendly to ourselves, but also
f.: their own convenience to avoid being
frozen in for the winter, and be ready for any

chiefly this is their errand: TO take some

SOFT SODER-A New YANKEE OUTRAGE

SOFT SODER-A New YANKEE OUTRAGE.
The Richmond Wing has found something
worse than insult and starvation in the treat
ment of rebel prisoners in the hands of the
Yankees. 1t is " soft soder."
"To soft solder man means, in plain
English, to cajoe him-the Irish word blar-
ney expresses the same thing-aud this is
precisely what the Yankees are now trying to
do to our prisoners and citizens in exposed
districts. In too many instances, we regret
to say, their soft solder has been successful.
A young lady, writing from Farquier to a
paper in this city, says that Sedgwick's corps
was encamped near Warrenton until Lees
late advance, and that while there the efforts
to win the people over by that most danger
Gus of all representations kindness, were
persistent and unremilting.' She adds that
she trembled when she saw the shadow OF
success which attended these efforts, and
strove both by voice and pen to counterfeit
them. Yankee warfare is merely brutal, but
Yankee kindness is tiendish. 1t is the intent
of the assassin, the climax of hypocrisy, the
source of all crime. 1t is soft soder.'"

The Dedication of Gettysburg Gem.
etery.

Our readers are aware that a part of the
battlefield at Gettysburg has been purchased
as cemetery for the remains Of the brave
Union defenders who fell on that blood,
field. We do not know who first conceive
the idea of national cemetery at Gettys.
burg, but the thought was happy one, anc
its conservation on last Thursday was one O.
the most imposing and touching scenes con
nected with this unholy rebellion. The
President and members of the cabinet were
present, there was an imposing civic anC
military display under command of Gen
Couch, and an address by Edward Everett,
which is unequalled even by the productions
OF that eloquent man. AS matter of his
torical research it will well repay a careful
perusal. We hope to give portion of it in
our next paper.
The closing speech of the occasion was by
President Lincoln, and we append it entire
below. Of this the Springfield Republican
says: Surprisingly fine as Mr.. Everett's
Grafton was in the Gettysburg consecration,t THE
rhetorical honors of the occasion were wos
by President Lincoln. His little speech is &
perfect gem; deep in feeling, compact in
thought and expression, and tasteful and ell
egant in every word and comma. Then ii
has the merit of unexpectedness in its verba
perfection and beauty. We had grown SC
accustomed to homely and imperfect phrase
in his productions that We had come to think
it was the law of his utterance. But this
shows he can talk handsomely as we'll as act
sensibly."
The following is the speech:
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers
fought and brought forth upon this continent
new nation conceived in liberty and dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all men are
created equal. (Applause.) Now, we are
engaged In great civil war testing whether
