The Spinning Jenny.

James Hargreaves was the inventor Of
the spinning jenny. II is related Of him
that one day, while deeply engrossed with
the idea Of his invention, he suddenly
dropped upon his knees, and rolled on the
stone floor at full length. He lay with his
face toward the floor, and made lines and
circles with the end of a burnt stick. lie
rose and went TO the fire to bum his stick.
He took hold Of his bristly hair with one
hand, and rubbed his forehead and nose with
the other and the bIackened stick. Then
he sat upon chair, aud placed his head be.
tween his hands, his elbows on his knees,
and gazed intently on the floor, then he
sprang to his feet and replied to some feeble
question Of his wife (who had not risen
since the day she had given birth to little

the blankets, the baby IN her arms, he lifted
her out and held her over the black draw

she joined a small, hopeful happy laugh,
with his high-toned assurance that she should
never again toll at the spinning wheel. She
asked some questions, which he answered,
after seating her 10 the armchair, by laying
her spinning wheel on its back, the horizon.

MONTPELIER, SEPT. 2, 1863.

NoRrHEIELD.-We regret, for the good name
Of Mortified, that the town should have prefer
red a Sham Democrat to DR.. Nichols, the Union
candidate, a gentleman widely known and re-
snected in the State. We understand, however,
that the election of Fisk will be contested, the
suspicion of fraudulent voting being very
strong.
By the way, we should like to have the North
field people explain the discrepancy between
their enrolment of able bodied men for the war,
and their vote. If we r~ecollect rightly, there
were less than $50 in the first class on the Mar
sbal's books,-while at this election ttey cast
over 600 votes. Young America can't be very
numerous IN that town. On the whole, we are
inclined to think that the bulk OF those who vo'
ted for Fisk lived in the days of the last war
and then were Blue Light Federalists, as they
now are Blue Light Democrats.

New YORK, Sept. 2. The Departments have
not received anything later from Charleston than
what is pablished. Gen. Gilmore and Dalghren
report everything progressing well. The re.
qulsltons tor men and material are filled. The
siege Is left entirely to their discretion, with
every confidence that they will meet with COM
plete success finally.
Ihe Hera|dS Headquarters Army of the Po-
tomac despatch says deserters from the Army
OF the Potomac now in the North may save
themselves from an lgnominious death by de-
llVerlng themselves over to the nearest military
rendezvous Tor transportation to retHrn to their
regiments.
Rebel deserters are coming into our lines in
large numbers. 1t is estimated that fully 1000
nave been received and sent to Washington since
our army left Maryland. There is a large num-
Der now in the guard house, who leave to-day
tor Washington.
The sickness of the army is increasing, owing
10 the want of water.
1t Is generally conceded by the best military
authorities that Gen. Lee must commenc often
slve operations this month, or disband his army.
1t is believed that to this end he is concentra-
ting another large army for an invasion which
is his only hope, and is to be attempted as last
resort.
Lieut.. Burgess, with 80 mounted rangers,
went on a reconnaissance yesterday, in search of
the camp OF Whites guerrillas which they
found just beyond Leesburg, and camped near
1t last night. This morning the party were
attacked by about 200 rebel cavalry, and forced
to retreat. Imboden's and Whites forces com
bined number about 1000. They were pre-
vented from crossing the river at Edwards Fer
ry by the infantry stationed there. At Point of
Rocks 1t was rumored that 5000 or 5000 rebels
were attempting to cross below.
Several pieces of artillery were sent down to
prevent such an ate 1 pit from being successful.
Tonight there are rumors that there is q large
force of rebels at Great Falls, l5 miles FROM
Washington. Our cavalry have been sent in
pursuit, and can hardly fail to meet the enemy.
Gen. Meggs has been ordered to the army of
the Potomac.
The Heralds dispatch says persons who ar
rived from the front to-day, know nothing of
any rebel force crossing at Port Conway, AMI it
is not credited here. Our gunboats command
all that part of the river.

troops, and earnestly expresses the opinion that
with the latter, great results can be obtained:

New YORK, Sept. l. The Tines Washing
ton dispatch says the best attainable Informa
ton locates Lee in Richmond, and his army
scattered from the line of the Blue Ridge on the
west to Port Royal, Rappahannock river on the
east, and south as far as the line of the Virginia
Central railroad. His troops are so scattered
to facilitate subsistence. Gen. Ewell has the
lett centre lying on the railroad from Culpepper
to Orange Court House, while Longstrest holds
the extreme right, occupying the line of the
Richmond and fredericksburg railroad. A
brigade of North Carolina troops occupy Fred
ericksburg. Jones brigade of cavalry is said
to have gone back to the Shenandoah Valley,
and Robinson to Richmond. Stuart is still in
command, but Is growing more and more un-
popular. 1t is expected that he will be relieved
by Wade Hampton.
The rebel guerrillas continue in our rear. One
of XII patrick's body guard having been killed,
permission was given the guard 30 aunt. They
have been at it three days, with great success.
ReI Ell describes continue to come in in squads,
and are ready to take the oath of allegiance,

sent as substitutes to our army, nine, after
stealing horses and committing other depreda,

Tie Travelling General.
from the Prov LOur.1

Our Twelfth regiment, which was almost
constantly on the 1povc during its nine
months service, used TO be called the "great
class in geography" Gen. Sherman would
be fit teacher for such class. For when
ever amy rnpid movement is to be executed,
whenever pursuit is to be made, General
Grant is sure to send him to the work He
was sent down to Eicksburgh to make the
first attack. He was afterwards sent to the
blntIs on the north side Of that city to make
fcint, and then was ordered to hasten down
to Grand Gulf and to rcjoin the main body of
the army i'll time to take part In the subsc-
qEent operations. No sooner was Vicksburg
taken tG2n be was started of to jackson IN
pursuit Of the foe, and made TINT terrible
march out md i,ack which was 60 trying to
his troops, our Seventh regiment among 9TH
crF. When corps was to be brought up
from The Mississippi to Chattanooga, it was
agnin Sherman's which was selected. Taking
with him large part Of the corps, which was
at Or near Memphis, he workck for weeks
endcavoring to oren the Charleston Railroad
to Bridgeport. Having fought his way to
Tuscumbla, he was recalled to the north side
Of the Tennessee river. He then hurried to
the front aud arrived in time to take part,
Mission Ridge. Fiye-sixths Of The loss In the
battles before Chattanooga was sustained by
his men. But nosooner was the contest end
ed than Sherman was on the road to Ring
gold, where very sharp contest took place
with the rear guard Of Brasg's army. And be-
fore We received the news Of that battle,
Sherman was On the way to Knoxville, more
than q hundred miles distant, and was soon
laundering upon the heels Of Longstrcct.
We think that sher7nan's soldiers ought to
receivt from government an extra allowance
for shoes, If not for other clothing.
Yet this is the Gen. Sherman who was said
to he crazy, because at the beginning of the
campaign In Kentucky, two years ago, he
stated that two hundred thousand men were
needed there for the work.
