was subsequently ratified by the unanimous &C
ton of the general committee.
MIR n. related that the IIme appolnte for he
examination of sheep by the committee was g
o clock A. NJ , and tuat IN going to the rendez-
yous of the committee at too mlnut es past that
hour he found that every man belonging to the
body had already reported himself, and that the
il v raj sub committees had gone about their re-
bpectve duties.
The twelve American sheep owned by MIR.
mpbell competed against l76l foreign sheep
to of which were Contributed by the Emperor
Of the French and were shown IN separate ana
costly enclosure, apart from the other sheep on
exhibition The circumstances attending the
coming to the German public of the knowledge
that the American sheep were thus highly hon.
ored, was next graphically rehearsed.
SO great was the outburst OF popular disap-
pointment and discontinue at the committee s
award, that remarks began to be freely made in
the papers and in ConYers ton that there was
bribery in the case that the committee (a Of
their own men) had been unduly influenced.
Whereupon Col n. himself proposed to Gov.
Wright of Indiana, the American delegate,
that there should be a new trial of the ques-
ton that grand sweepsta kes purse of 500
should be made, each sheep owner entering to
pay $40, and the sheep being sheared on the
spot and yielding the heaviest fleece to be de-
clared the most meritorious. by a new commit
tee OF Germans The result of this proposal
was that but one person entered for the trial,
and that was Mr.. Campbell, the owner of the
American sheep. This conclusively settled the
business and at the close of the exhibition
Count Sher Thoss' purchased the twelve Ameri-
can sheep for $4,000.
Mr.. N. remarked upon the success Of the
Hamburg Exhibition, and said that every artl-
Gle of American skill and industry exhibited
found ready PURCHASERS, while very many of
the English and other wares remall ed unsold.
The address of Col. Needham occupied about
an hour, and was in all respects most pleasing
and edifying narrative. He was frequently in
terrupted with prolonged applause.

The Vermont Second Brigade.

Major General Doubleday arrived IN town On
Thursday last and is stopping at the Equinox
House. In conversation the General speaks in
the highest terms of the Vermont troops-the
I'd brigade being, as will be remembered, under
his command at Gettysburg lie thinks they
have never had full justice done them for their
achievements ON that day, and 10 willing we
should give our opinion OF their services In re-
peling the enemy and securing the most imlor-
tapt victory. He describes our lines in the sec
ond davis fight as similar in form to horse shoe,
the center being advanced towards Gettysburg,
upon the high hill on which stands the cemete
terv, and the tanks curved to the rear, resting
upon two large hills, the whole ocenpying the
SUBMITS of long range OF hills, OF less height.
Hancock's corr was formed upon the left CEN
ter, and his own upon the left of Hancock. The
remainder of his corps being badly c0t up in the
first DAVIS engagement, General Doubleday was
obliged to put the I'd Vermont Brigade IN an
exposed position, to the front and down the de-
clvity, although he was told they were raw
troops and had never seen battle. In the after
noon the rebels concentrated hundred guns
upon that portion OF the line Failing TO make
any impression they advanced in column across
the PLAIN directly in front of the Vermont troops
but being warmly received, suddenly wheeled
passed down to their right and charged upon
Hancock lines
Gen Doubleday moved to the assistance OF
Hancock and while he was forming in front
of the enemy, Gen. Stannard, whom he charac-
terzes as an officer of quick eye on the battle
field without waiting for orders. hurled his brig
ade upon the flank and rear of the attacking
column. They broke and fed in great disorder,
To this prompt action on the part OF Gen. Stan
nard and the vigorous charge of the Vermont
bows, Gen. Doubleday attributes the victory,
for if it had not been for that he thinks the
rebels would have completely broken our lines
and compelled the Abandonment of the position
This compliment from so distinguished an officer,
and one SO closely connected with the Vermont
troops on the battlefield, will be extremely
gratifying to the many who think that the troops
from this State have not had the praise their
conduct has merited. -Manchester Journal.

Wool Growers Convention

We 6nI in the Boston Journal the following
sketch of the remarks made by Col. Needham,
at the Wool Growers Convention at Rutland
Col. Needham took the stand, and was re-
ceived with applause. He thanked his auditors
for the hattering reception rendered him, ana
entered upon description OF his journey to Flu
rome and what be saw and did there. 1t required
a considerable stock of presumption and comb
dence to sally out from Green Moutain home
to compete with sheep from the pastures OF YER
mont against those of the imperial hocks In
France and the German States; and their lore
holdings were not rendered less unpleasant, when,
ON the outward passage, they were informed by
intellia ent German connoaSSeurS that for Tue
Americans to enter into such competition
would be smp for them to roll IN the mud,
az a premium for their twelve little sheep would
be entirely out of the question. However they
hoped. And their most enthusiastic and san
guine hope was hat the American sheep might
peradyenture receive one first premium
The arrival, and subsequent proceedings o.
Mr.. N. and bis companion, Mr.. Campbell, the
owner of the American sheep were narrated
very Interestingly The committee OF award con
sisted of eighteen gentlemen, most OF them no
blemen, and al educated and thoroughly compe
tent judges. Despite the attempt of the German
press to forestall public sentiment against tn
American sheep, the subcommittee of this bod
agreed upon bestowiDg two first premiums am

A PROPHETIC STRAIN-One Rev. DR.. Stiles
preached discourse at Richmond on jeff DAVIS
recent fast day, which said discourse has been
printed. The Reverend Doctor thus among 9TH
er things, comforts his hearers
"Why, let the North march out her millions
of men on the left, and array upon the right all
the veteran troops in England, France, Russia
and Austria and bring up the very gates OF
hell in all their strength to compose the centre OF
her grand invading army. What then ? Why,
everything in God and from God assures US that
these Confederate States would hear voice from
heaven The battle is not yours, but mine.
Stand We still and see the salvation OF the Lord
II they dared TO advance one step, righteous
and an angry God would fire off upon the aliens
terrible thunders that angels never heard, and
shoot out upon them vengeiul fires and lShnngs
that cherubc vision never saw, and fling down
upon them cataracts of angry power that hell
herself never felt and, if necessary to our dehv-
erance, shake the very earth from under their
feet"
Such is the stuff with which rebel clergymen
comfort rebellion based upon slavery, and now
staggering to its downfall.

The Second Vermont.

We copy from the Poughkeepsie Daily
Eagle the following relative to the Second Yer
mont regiment on duty there during the draft
The appearance of the rank and file of these
war SCARED veterans as they marched up the
street with heavy tread in the dead hour Of
night was grand and imposing. Not a word
was heard save now and then the usual military
orders. The regular tramp, the close ranks
and the erect position of their bodies showed
plainly the excellent drill and discipline they
have acquired by over two years service In the
fed.
They have been on duty il the city of New
York during the draft in that district and their
presence 10 that city was marked by their extreme
polteness and orderly conduct. The citizens
among whom they were quartersd speak highly
of their character as reg lment and regret that
they left 80 soon One thing in connection
with their appearance we forget to mention and
that is their cleanliness of person. We saw q
number of them around the streets of our city
Yesterday with their shoes and boots polished
their cloths clean and everything appertaining
to their outward tsut en- senmble in perfect
order.
A number of the officers and members taking
advantage of their close proximity to their
native state, have telegraphed to their wives and
families to come to this city. Quite d number
have arrived here already. and happiness beams
from the countenance of each of them.
As, soon as it was noised among our citizens
that the regiment was out to the barracks the
roads leading to that place suddenly became
lined with pedestrians and vehicles of every
description Ca their way to have look at the
" Green Mountain Boys. We promise them q
cordial greeting from our citizens, and sincerely
trust that their services will not be needed to
put down aLy riotous assemblages.

The MORRIS ISLAND VICTORY. The N. Y Ea-
press remarks that to estimate the Importance
of the evacuation of Morris Island by the enemy,
1t ought to be borne in mind that Fort Wagner
was one of the strongest works ever constructed
by the rebels. Thousands of slaves are said to
have labored for months upon it, until the thick
ness of its walls seemed to bid defiance to any
ordnance which we could bring to bear against
it. The bombproof Of the fort was building
CT very heavy timber, covered by an immense
mound of earth and sandbags. Upon either end
an entrance and zigzag passages led through and
through the struture, and every avenue of ap-
proach was swept by guns of the heaviest cali
bre. The dry harsh which hanked it on the
left was known to be filled with torpedoes Of
the most destructive character.

a Marvellous Escape.

Rev. H. d. Fisher, of the Kansas Con-
ference, and chaplain of the 9th Kansas had
a most marvellous escape from guerrllas In
their late attack upon Lawrence. He was
sick in his house when the hends came after
him. He escaped into a hole in the cellar and
was passed by when the assassins went down
there to find him. A ter they went up stairs
and set fire to the house his wife got permits
sion to take the carpet out. Mr.. Fisher was
informed of it, and while his wife and another
lady we're dragging the carpet out, he got
through trap door in the floor and went out
under the carpet, the rebels in the meantime
continuing the search. The carpet was SO
thrown down in the yard as to conceal him, and
be remained uoder it while the use burned
down. There are many similar instances in
which the women OF Lawrence exhibited
courage and devotion as great as history has
ever recorded. Stout men relate these deeds
with tears of joy and pride filling their eyes.
