EDITOR RUTLAND HERALD: Inasmuch
as the magnitude Of the quota of the town
of Rutland under the present call for vol
unteers appears to surprise many, and
there is prevailing feeling that there
must be an error somewhere, permit me
to say that it is reported-and from relia-
BILE authority-that eight men who have
enlisted from this town under a previous
call, and gone to the war, have not been
so reported by the selectmen to the Adju-
tant and Inspector General and that when
the selectmen were advised Of the fact
they did not give it proper attention TIL
too late to rectify the error, and that the
excuse given for not attending to the mat,
ter sooner was "pressure Of business. >
In consequence Of this neglect, the quota
is eight men more than it otherwise woult
have been; and provided our clt'zen
come forward and enlist, it will take Jou'
thousand dollars from the pockets OF tn
tar payers Of the town to pay for the neg
igence of their public functionaries.
Further comments are withheld for tn
purpose of giving the persons interested
chance to be heard, provided they wish +
be.

PEACE MEN AT THE SOUTH. The
Richmond Examiner complains that peace
men exist in North Ca rolina and Georgia.
1t says:-
:. Now we perceive that, Just as Con-
gress is about to meet, certain newspa-
pers of the Confederacy are preparing the
way for discussions in that body about
some other method of obtaining peace. The
other method suggested, IN so far as We
can comprehend it, consists in the several
states Of the Confederacy taking the mat
ter out Of the hands of the Confederate gov
eminent, ignoring the government and the
army. aad all that army has done and suf-
fered for the independence of the Confed-
eracy. and then making peace, each state
for itself, as best it can. There would be
an honorable peace p

The GREAT Victory. Gen. Grant
has 'moved on the enemy's works." and
with his usual glorious success. Such an
army as Grants, with such man at its
head and seconded by such splendid
sighting generals" as Thomas, Hooker,
Sherman, Granger, Howard, Osterhaus,
etc, we believe is invincible. The de-
tails of the fighting Of Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday are already known to
our readers. Mondays battle was fought
by the center Ct the army, under Granger,
Palmer and Howard Tuesdays battle
by the right, under Hooker, Gen. Sher-
man AT the same time operating against
Missionary Ridge and Wednesdays

The results are known and known official
", while the last press dispatches, now
received, represent the enemy in perfect
rout towards Dalton and Atlanta, Geor-
pia, with cur forces close on his heels
Withal, assertions and captures are said
TO be thinning out the demoralized army
of Bragg, in its fight.
How, far these last dispatches may be
confirmed, and if true, whether Grant can
at once follow Bragg till he is forced to
| turn again, for battle, rem aims to be seen
But enough is now officially known

ARKANSAS FOR THE UNION. The.
Memphis Bulletin of the Goth says The
alacrity and earnestness with which the
people of Arkansas are moving for the
restoration of their state to its suspended
powers is no less surprising than crafty
ing. That the feeling is real we have no
room left for doubt. We have conversed
with persons from that state of various
conditions of life from the woodchopper to
the planter. the soldier and the civilian,
unionists and secessionists, natives OF the
state and visitors to it from North and
South, and we find all agree that the PEG
pie Of Arkansas are for the Union. Some
make the acknowledgment with gratiiica-
ton, others with profound indignation, ac-
cording TO their political tendencies.

Prophecies. During the period COM
mencing short time before the outbreak
OF the rebellion and continuing down to
the present, many prophets, false and true,
have lifted up Their voice. We have just
now to do with predictions uttered IN re-
gard to the immediate consequences to the
South Of the war it has precipitated upon
the country. Prophets North and proph-
ets South were not wanting. Alexander
H. Stephens, present Vice President of
the aConfederacy,' in the Georgia Conven-
ron Of January, 1861, where was pending
the question Of the secession of that state,
uttered the prophetic warning copied be-
low. Bot such warnings were powerlesa
% avert the consnmmation Of southern
treason and the Inauguration of their sui
cidal rebellion. This might be wondered
as, did we not remember that certain nor
tbern sympathisng democrats" were al
- filed with the spirit Of prophecy, that
their predictions had gone forth to the
southern leaders IN treason assuring them
that no war would result from secession,
OF. if il did, its locality, bloodshed and des-
clation would be confined within the nor
them states themselves. How have these
northern prophets been COMPOUNDED
We printed the following extract from
STEPHENS speech, made in the Georgia
Convention above mentioned, some time
ago, in answer to the favorlte charge OF
the copperheads that upon the north rests
the responsibility of having caused the
present war. As they are not yet done
reiterating this accusation against northern
loyal men, it may be well to note again
what this now leading rebel said upon
that point. But we reprint the extract
chiefly as a prophetic foreshadowing Of
the desolation and calamity which theii
then contemplated act would BRING upon
themselves, and for which they alone
would be held responsible, that is beng
more literally fulfilled than any other
prediction uttered concerning this grea
rebellion. ,;a /,
