Fiacd for Selling Liquor.

Complaints having been made to States
Attorney, j. Ross, Esq, that Dorman Bridg
man, the hotel keeper at South Hardwick,
was engaged in the unlawful and nefarious
trhc Of dealing out damnation by the pint
a d single glass to both old and young of
lis vicinity he was brought before justice
Cyrus Underwood at East Hardwick on
Tuesday of this weeE, and pleading guilty to
ten offences was fined 800 and costs, and
LETT with many fair promises for the future.
The law-lovILg and temperance people Of
llardwick are much incensed at the manner
in which this man has violated law and de-
cency, and feel relieved and rejolced now
that this sink OF pollution is shut up.
Or complaint signed by nearly all the la
dies OF Stevens Village, (BarneO the States
Attorney caused VIM Gleason Of Barnet, to
be arrasned before justice Carbee, and heing
convicted of eighteen offences, was fined $500
and costs. Gleason took an al peal, but fail
ing to procure bonds, a mitimus was issued
and he was put in Jail at St. Johnsbsry where
he remained some three weeks. Failing to
get release on writ of habeas corpus, he
finally got released on petition claiming he
had been deprived of his right of appeal and
that he should be permitted tC enter his APP
peal at the coming term Of county court by
giving 500 bends for the prosecution of the
appeal, &c.
If the liquor sellers of Caledonia county
think they can carry on their nefarious bust
ness with impunity while the present States
Attorney holds office, they will find them
selves mistaken. They will get no mercy at
his hands, ard the sooner they shut up then
rum loes and sign the pledge, and try anc

better il viii be for them. With such az
eiticiert officer the temperance men Of any

The Alabama and the Florida.


Admiral Farragut, at New Orleans has
received letter from the United States
Consul at Kingston, Jamaica, that the
Alabama had landed one hundred and
twenty-five men there, the crew Of the
Hatteras. The letter says that one OF
the first shots from the Alabama's large
Armstrong guns struck the Hatteras at
the water line, and she began to fill very
rapidly. The whole engagement, as
wrote to you from Patridge's account
did not last twenty minutes. The Ala.
bama steamed alongside and took off the
officers and crew of the Hatteras ano
there was no time to remove anything
else, so rapidly was the sinking"
The same advices brings the intelli
gence that the Confederate gunboat Flor
ida DIETER known as the Oreto is inside
the harbor of Kingston, and is watched
by the United States gunboats r. r. Guy
Ter and st. Jago da Cuba, lying outside
The Cuyler chased her from Mobile t,
Kingston. If the Florida could run tn,
entire blockading fleet at Mobile, she vii
probably slip out from Kingston som,
dark night, and she can show the clean
est kind Of heels to any Federal gunboa
in the Gulf squadron. No one Of then
can catch her unless the Florida is frs
disabled.

John Van Buren,.

Prince John, as he used to be called IN
the primrose days of his daddy, Martin
Van-Prince John, Immediately subse-
ouent to the recent Northern elections,
took strong, bitter and hostile ground
against the Lincoln OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
speechcs, and denounced the war IN vlo-
lent and eloquent invective. Having thus
deported himself for ten days and elicit
ed the admiration and applause Of the
anti-war party, John, to display his bold
ness, as he said, put out for Washington,
where he visited the White House, shook
hands with Abe, and hobnobbed over a
glass of pale sherry with the only re-
deeming feature about that palatial domi
ell. Mrs. Lincoln. Since which time a
change appears to have passed over the
spirit of the Princes dream, and, IN
speech delivered in Gotham few days
ago, lie insists that they must have a
vigorous prosecution of the war, and wo
unto the man who will throw himself in
the way of it." What influences were
brought to bear upon the Prince, or what
induced this acrobatic achievement, ap-
pears to be unknown at present, but we
dare say will be made manifest IN due
season. New York politicians have long
l bee1 notorious for the uncertainty oil their
precise whereabouts, and their position oil
to-day is no indication of the ground they
will occupy tomorrow. Like Paddy 5 nea'
when YOU put your finger on them they
amt there. The somersault OF the frlnce
does not seem as yet to have involvod any
bodv else. as is evident from the follow
inp extract from Northern paper
"D. A. Mahoney has an article in the
New York World of the Nth Instant, In
regard to the sp eech of John Van Buren,,
in which he sais if Mr.. Van Buren, rep
resents the Democracy OF New York,
there is a vast chas,n between him and
the Democracy of the Northwest whc
care for vigorous prosecution OF peace.
He further saws, eve Of the Northwest
believe that the war is prosecuted for th'
perpetuation of the existence OF the Abo
ition Republican party, andas one means
for the subjugation of the Southern State
and people" Continuing, he says: ave
of the Northwest are not in favor OF suel
purposes. We, especially of Illinois, In
diana end Iowa, are opposed to iurthel
prosecution of the existing war Some o
us never believed that the object OF The
war was the restoration of the Union. -
And with great force he asks: 'Whl by
should that party become the specia
guardian of that compact which 1t de
nounces as "a league with death and
covenant with hell My object he says
is to produce harmony between the con
seryative element of New York and tn
Northwest" and in concluding he asks
Does Mr.. Van Buren, represent the con
} servative sentiment Of New York by ia
voring vigorous prosecution OF the wa
for purposes indicated by the emancipa
ton proclamation, the act of confiscatlol
and concomitant acts Of plumber .whlcI

Tho North West,

The North w est,
The Richmond Enquirer, and others OF
the leading press, seem determined TO
have.pothing to do with the Northwest
They are unusually bitter on that section,
and are continually saying to those who
are naugurating a revolution there as the
initiatory step to cessation OF hos
tilites, and ultimately to a permanent
and honorable peace, Now, don't do that
we want none of your peace move
ments-and will never consent to treat
with you in any respect until we have
whipped you at the point of the bayonet
and brought You to our feet to beg for
terms" Several years ago party sprang
up in the county, predicated perhaps on
too narrow foundation, but whose sue
cess would have stricken down and para
lyzed that powerful element which alone
enabled the North to override the South
and finally placed the Black Republican
or Abolition party in possession OF the
Federal government and brought the
evils upon the land under which it is now
mourning and suffering. Yet these same
journals and politicians would have moth
ing to do with it, and denounced and
ridiculcd the movement as scheme to
prescribe and destroy the "best friends
Of the South" But they were wrong in
their tactics then, as the result has de-
monstrated, for a large proportion OF
those friends are in the Northern army
and constitute the most brutal and Zero.
ciOus troops that have been sent against
us-and they are gravely, grossly wrong
now. If the Northwest wants to. Ieyolu-
tionizc and Withdraw from the contest, in
the name of all that is sensible and poll
tic, why should the press at the Coniede-
federate seat of Government ridicule their
efforts and daily scout and denounce the
movement? If some of our editorial
brethren, who cgotstically imagine that
they are manufacturing and shaping pub
lie opinion, when. too often they only re-
fleet their own feelings and bitterness,
would occasionally abandon the narrow
and unhealthy exclusiveness of their
sanctums and take an airing among the
people visit the army lines and talk with
the rank and file, it would improve their
digestion and enable them to learn Ger
tain important facts Of which they seem
to be lamentably ignorant at present.
While the people at home, and the peo
pie in the feld-the army-are deter
mined to fight on, fight ever" if neces
sary to the achievement of Southern in
dependence, they are heartily sick &nc
tired of the war, of blood-shedding anC
grave-dgging, and would hail the an
nouncement of an honorable peace with
acclamations and such demonstrations o
Joy as have seldom been witnessed in any
country.

COMPENSATED Emancipation.

The Louisville journal of the 9Th in
slant has the following article in regard to
the Compensated Emancipation Scheme,
which we reprint for the edifcation OF
shareholders in East Tennessee who SYM
pathize with Lincoln's policy:
The policy Of compensated emancipa-
ton, without the assent OF the owners Of
slave property, may oe tested by brief
review Of its operations in the District %
Columbia. The assessed value Of the
slaves there was but little short Of three
millions Of dollars. Congress appropria-
ted one million to pay for them; Commits
sioners were appointed to apportion this
sum among the various claimants, and
the result was they were paid off at the
rate Of S44 on every 500, and thus it
will be seen that the owners did not re-
ceive one.sixth of tho real value Of their
property. Now let us give practical
illustration Of this policy, should It be
directed toward other species Of proper
ty. Let us suppose that Congress should
take n block or two OF real estate in the
Fifth Avenue, New York, or Chestnut
street Philadelphia, valued on the asses
sor's books at three millions; vote one
million for its purchase and then pay for
il nj the diminished sum OF four hundred
and forty thousand dollars-what would
our friends in Gotham or the Quaker
City think of the justice Of tins act, and
would they regard it as an honest com
pensation for their PROPERTY? And yet
who can deny that the principle Of slave
emancipation in Missouri aud the District
OF Columbia involves the same injustice
and dishonesty?
