WEBsTER.-The Times reports an attempted
suicide in that village. A daughter of Mr.. Da-
RUS X. Stockwe who has lately resided with
her father in Putnam, Conn, but for short time
past has been stopping in Webster swallowed
one day last week tablespoonful Of muriatic
acid. The acute and burning pain that followed
caused her to cry out for help, and powerful
emeric was given, but the girl still lies in criti
cal condition. The Times says it is not aware
hOw much reliance can be placed upon current
reports of this affair; but if The it hears is
correct, its saddest and most cruel features yet
remain unwritten. The girls character and life
are said to be iaultleSs, but it would seem that
her existence has been by unnatural causes made
burdensome beyond her wish to endure. 1t is
really pitiahle case

THE BOSTON FAIR.

The Great Fair of the Sanitary Commits
sion opens at Boston on Monday evening
next. with Grand Concert Contributions
of all kinds from $1,000 piano to a child's
doll are flowing in and there is little doubt
that the results will fairly rival those of the
Gre>t Chicago Fair. We fear, however,
from all we learn, that Vermont will have
hardly as creditable share in that result,
as she should have The ladies Of Burlrng-
ton have exefted themselves with their usual
energy, and have sent on q collection Of ar
ticles which will realize a handsome sum ;
but apparently little is doing elsewhere in
that line. nor are the contributions Of home
products, butter and cheese, &c, forthcoming
from the people at large, to anything like
the extent that was confidently anticipated.
The time is now very short but if forward
ed at once, such contributions will still be
in season, and be most acceptable. They
may be sent to the care of j. W. Andrews,

The Worlds Washington special despatch
dated last evening says The movement Of
tine Army of the Potomac has been aband-
oned. The retrograde movement was COM
menced yesterday and tonight some of our
forces re-occupied the same points held
before the advance.
The military critics now essay 10 call the
whole movement only an armed reconnOis-
anee but it is nevertheless known that Gen.
Meade started out with well conceived and
matured plans for an advance on Richmond.
His failure 10 carry them out involves
without doubt loss of his position as COM
mander OF the Army of the Potomac.
Among the most prominent reasons given
for the abandonment of the campaign are
that Gen. Lees 20 retreated and entrenched
himself as to delay any rapid advance on our
part, and at the same time prevent any ge-
neral attack that finally the question Of
supplies alone required the withdrawal TO
Gen Meade's old base
The Army fell back in a safe and orderly
manner, the enemy not diyining the move
ment
There has been but little diminishing for
two days past. Gen. Sedgwick and Hooker
are prominently named for Gen. Meade s
successor.
Gen. Granger must have reached Knox
vile before this time. Longstreet must
march l30 miles before he can be supplied
by rail.

success Of the movement, and nearly all an
earnest desire for the nomination of Mai

The Convention adopted and reafirmed the
Kentucky platform of 1868, and suggested
that the committee take action accordingly.

The Trlbuie's special Washington despatch
says At a council Of war held on Monday
night IT was concluded that a return TO the
old camp ground was dictated by every as
pect of the case. The main reasons for this
course are these Short rations and difficulty
Of bringing up more the enemy strongly
entrenched in position which could not be
carried without great loss; very cold wealth
er making it certain that our wounded IN
case of battle would suffer and die by hun
dreds before they could be cared for. Those
facts led TO the order for a retreat. There
was no fighting not even a skirmish and the
entire army recrossed the river with all It's
trains intact.
The entire loss of the campaign is 600
killed wounded and missing, 20 Of whom
were killed.

Of Mustang Island near Corpus Christi ar,
OF interest.
The fleet left Brazos Santiago Pass on the
evening Of Nov. 18th. The following even
ing several regiments were landed on Mus
tang Island and marched nearly all night
reaching the vicinity Of the rebel works
about daylight. Slight skirinishing took
place between our advance which was thrown
across the island that No one might escape,
while the gunboat MoDOngahela threw a
number OF l l inch shells among the rebels
who Immediately caused panic.
Half an hour later when Gen Ransom
came up with two regiments IN line Of hat

All our available forces left the Gap to-

Burnside is closely pushing the enemy's
rear. Decisive results are anticipated.
An official courier has Just arrived here

The rebels succeeded in throwing a pom
tOon across the river on sunday but were
prevented from crossing by our batteries
commanding that point. This brought on
general engagement resulting in the rout Of

Longstreet is in tight place and may be
headed of by Gen. Foster.
