THE WAYS AND MEANS BILL.-The
Senate acted on three Of the most i'm
poriant measures Of the session during
last week. to wit the national banking
system, the emancipation movement in
Missouri. and granting of a credit to
the Government to the amount of nine
hundred million dollars for its support to
the close Of the next fiscal year, or until
July 1st, 1864, The first goes to the
House as aboriginal bill; the others re-
turn to it with amendments, and its &C
ton on them all will be watched with in
terest. The principal amendments of
the Senate to the credit, or ways and
means bill, are those which cut down
the further issue of the legal-teuder cur
rency notes from three hundred TO one
hundred and fifty millions, and estab-
lish a tax on all bank circulation of one
per cent. year for the next two years,
and two per cent. thereafter. The re-
duction of the currency notes is because
the country has already more than it
can BEAUTIFULLY digest, and because the
Secretary of the Treasury believes he
will need no more to carry on the war,
if, as the Senate also proposes, the ma
tional banking scheme shall be set in op-
GRAFTON as soon as possible. And the tax
on bank circulation is extended over its
whole amount, and increased at the end
of two years, instead of laid upon its ex-
cess over certain proportion of its
banking capital, as was proposed by the
House, in order to render its issue un-
profitable, and gradually cause it to be
retired, and make way for the new cir
culation under the national banking sys-
TEN. These propositions are in the in
terest ofa sounder currency system than
our present one will tend, if successful,
to repress the specializing mania by lin
ting its fuel, and will strengthen the
by scattering new motives
for its perpetuity and integrity among
he States and the people. And so, we
pray the concurrence of the House.

DROPPED DEAD.-Mr. Harvey Lee
died at Peacham Feb 8, aged 43 years.
Mr.. Lee left in the morning as well as
usual, for the woods, and had drawn one
load of wood to his touse, went back for
another, and after loading it, started to
return. He was seen to fall and not rise
again by men working near, who upon
calling received no answer. They ran
to his assistance-raised him up-when
gasping once CT twice, life was extinct,
dying as was supposed from an affection
of the heart Cdledoniaa.

OF CRAFTsBURY

THE SEVENTH REGIMENT.-Therc
have been, mp to Dee. 3lst, three hun.
dred and three deaths in this regiment,
from diseases and wounds, or were killed
in action. This ont of one thousand men
shows terrible mortality, being nearly
every third man-dead. The sick and
wounded must be far greater than the
number dead, which would reduce the
number of effective men to a mere hand
full. So terrible is war. OF the number
dead we find the names of the following
Orleans county boys:
Albert Gle, Craftsbury,
Seth L. Alger, Lowell,
Horace Hubbard, Glover,
Edmund Boynton, Charleston,
James Il. Davis, Derby Line,
Caleb Flanders, Glover,

Common School Celebration.

Agreeably to previous notice the sew
eral common schools in Troy and West
field met at South Troy on Saturday,
Jan. oath, and organised by choosing the
following officers: DR.. L. c. Moore, pre-
sident; VIM. r. Rowell, secretary.
On motion of john Young Esq, OF
Troy, DR.. l.. G. Moore, Rev. A. Coburn,
John Young Esq, c. D. r. Meacham,
and Samuel johnson were appointed n
committee on resolutions, by whom the
following resolutions we're reported and
adopted after being ably discussed by DR..
L. c. Moore, Rev. A. Coburn, John
Young Esq, w. D. Wilson Esq, James
Adams Esq, and c. D. r. Meacham.
Resolved,-That the subject of educa-
ton as connected with our common
schools receives quite too little attention
in proportion to its importance by pa
rents especially, and citizens generally.
Resolved, That the frequent assoca-
ton as well in, as out, of the school room,
and intimate acquaintance of the parents,
teachers, and pupils, are essential to
arouse and sustain the proper interest in
the subject Of common school education
throughout the state of Vermont.
Whereas, the permanency Of our gov
eminent, and the prosperity of our ma
ton depends upon the general intelli-
gence Of our citizens, therefore
ResolOed, That it is obligatory upon
parents teachers, and pupils, to encour-
age every thing that tends to promote
the interests Of our common schools.
Resolved,-That corporal punishment
as final resort, is necessary to success
full school government, and the idea Of
moral suasion being the only allowable
system of government is false in theory
and fatal in practice.
Whereas the teachers are the servants
of the people, therefore
Resolved-Tbat it is their duty to
visit them in their schools, and thus
that interest in tie education
and culture of the young mind which it
is the duty of every parent to feel, and |
thus encourage their children md |
strengthen the hands of their teachers.
On motion Of Rev. A. Coburn, voted
% adjourn to meet at North Troy on the
18th of February.

dopted NJ. F. Varney, Esq, D. NJ
camp. ID, 0. S. Dorman, Esq, W. D.
frame, ESD, and DR.. l.. Z. Moore.
Resolved-That school without good
lealihful government is like ship with
,dt rudder, and he or she who has not
he faculty TO govern, are unworthy Of
he name Of teachers, and their most
itting place is the field, or the spinning
Wheel.
Whereas the future usefulness of the
Dung depends upon the moral culture of

Resolved-That it is the duty of all I
hose whose business It is to procure
aachers to engage those only whose mo-
al characters are above reproacb

Mr. Cradlebaugh then gave his expe.
rience as one of the former associate
justices of Utah. While sitting as a
committing magistrate, complaint after
complaint was made before him of muir
ders and robberies, of which he mention.
ed as particularly shocking the murder
of Forbes, the assassinatons of Par
rishes and Potter, of Jones and his mo-
Their, ofthe Aiken party, &c in all,) and
the cold blooded cowardly massacre and
robbery Of the Mountain Meadows. AT
that time still lay all ghastly under the
sun of Utah, the unburied skeletons of
1l9 men, women and children, the hap
less, hopeless victims of the Mormon
creed. Time would not now allow that
be should read the afiidavits taken. He
should publish portion of them as an
appendix to these remarks, that it might
be seen that be was justified in charging
that the Mormons are guilty-aye, that
the Mormon church is guilty of the
crimes of murder and robbery, as taught
in their books of faith. The motives the
Mormons had in the massacre was in
seeking revenge for the killing Of Pear
ly Pratt, leading Mormon, while in the
act of running off with another mans
wife and children through Arkansas to
Utah. He was overtaken by the out
ragged husband, and slain-the Arkansas
courts refusing to punish the perpetrator.
Vengeance was visited on the heads of
these poor emigrants by the Mormons,
who, in addition no doubt were also ac-
tuated by the great amount Of stock and
property Of the emigrants, supposed to
be worth sixty or seventy thousand dol
lars. This was emphalically getting the
Lords hospitality as Heber Kimball
expresses il, without getting in debt to
he Lords enemies a great portion OF
he property was taken to Cedar City,
deposited in the tithing office, and then

pom the condition of affairs in our
oontry . Mormonism revelng upon the
polls obtained by murder, @biie II or
han children are turned penniless upon
he world. After allading to olhor out
ages, Mr. Cradlebaugh said the weak,
mid, temporizing policy which ever had
cen pursued towards Utah by the Fed
raj Government only led to disorgari-
alton and anarchy, and open violation of
he most sacred rights; and has exhibit
j Utah before The world as the gloomy
leatro where murder and robbery al
.nately shift the scene.

Mr.. EARLE II will at least thank

the request to write with anything like

defensive works are now being greatly
strengthened, thus supplying US with ia
tigue duty. We will not, however, COM
plain Of this since it is certain that the
national capital ought to be in the very
best state of defense. The better those
Notifications are the more troops can be

From mingling considerably with the
members Of the regiment, l judge that
they are generally suited with soldiers

fault-fnders. A few Of the soldiers (0

about our defeats, for it is very easy to
find fault, while it requires more thought
to comprehend the real progress than is
being made.
Some Of that progress may be seen in
the fact, as general rule, that when
our arms are victorious, there is a gain
in the conquest, while a defeat simply
holds us where we we're before. Scarce
