L A TASKER takes pleasure in returning his
patronage which has been bestowed upon him in
the several towns of Rutland County, where he
has been engaged in teaching for the past few
months-and having given entire satisfaction as
he believes-he confidently asks for continuation
of the public favor.
AS he designs giving continuous lessons in this
County, and as his whole time will be devoted to
his profession, it will make difference when his
pupils enter into his class, and additions can be
made at any time. A few more scholars would
be gladly received for the fall and winter terms,
and from his experience, and success heretofore he
feels warranted in the belief that he can give full
satisfaction TO pupils and patrons.

The Poor WHITES OF THE SoUTH.-
The position of the poor whites of the
South, in lighting to aid the establishment
Of a Southern arlstocratic or slaveocratic
government, being so directly and obvi-
ously antagonistic to their own interest =
it has been hoped that the TACT would soon
er or later penetrate even their degraded
ignorance and prejudice. AS evidence that
this Is beginning TO take place in some
portions of the "confederacy" a gentle
man sends to the Boston Courier an ex-
tract from letter received by him from
friend, who was lately, like himself, a resi-
dent of Georgia. The extract which is
entitled ''important and valuable" is as
follows;
NEW YORK, July %.
The exodus from the South, you once
predicted, has fairly set in. Every day al
most some new face drops in. They gen
orally come from the upper part OF Geor-
gia and seem glad to get here. | know
of SIX gentlemen who are here from one
place. One of them says the emanclpa-
ton proclamation of Mr.. Lincoln struck
JEFF. Davis the hardest blow he has re-
ceived. He SAYS it has caused large rec
duction in the southern army from deser
ton, more so than the people Of the Norts
have any idea of. He says the poor
white people are determined to fight for
the negroes no longer. They have no
interest in them, and look upon the war as
one brought on by demagogues and slave
holders, to ride over the rights of the poor
white people. He says he has heard re-
peatedlv the soldiers say openly, they
would not any longer fight for the Id
niggers and their masters. The upper
part of Georgia has but few slaves
anyhow, and | suppose the people
there think more OF their own com
fort, and less of the rights of the slave
owners. than the low country. was
surprised, however, to hear from this dsd
Of events, that the proclamation tended to
divide the people of the South rather than
unite them. The effect was doubtless diff
tereat on the seaboard, according to nfor-
nation from as competent judges there,
but Cherokee Georgia like Tennessee has
always been or the Union, and now grows
more and more so, as they suffer from jeff.
