have been dong little business hitherto this

gone to work with vengeance. Early yes

| RUTLAND FARMERS CLUB.-It was the
ory of the late Judge Jesse Buell. formerly of
Rutland, and of the Albany Cultlvator, that the
undue preponderance of the legal profession was
serious damage to this country, and especially
to the agricultural interest This theory was
gently exemplifed at the meeting of the Club
last Monday eve. A few itinerant Justices
were about to alight in judicial if not Judcious
confab upon the town of Rutland, and 10!
mine host of the Franklin de 2rades the club
1 room into an eating room, and generously
throws open his dancing hall for the use of the
Club, and thither about thirty of our citizens
most noted for courage and death-defying val
or, resort, and shivering around a stove in the
north east corner of this enclosed prairie, lis
ten with dismal resignation to the reading of
the previous meetings doings, some resolutions,
and the essay, after which ensues a desultory
conversation on agricultural fertilizers, subject
deemed so important as to be- made the sub
ject of discussion at the next meeting, with
the same speakers, Messrs. L. Daniels and
Alonzo Smith, and an essay on rotation OF
crops, by Mr.. Horace h. Dyer; and the sub
ject of an oyster supper having been agltated
it was adjourned to the next meeting, to be held
at the Franklin House on next Monday eve,
at O'clock when it is hoped all friends Of
farming and oysters will be present to nvestl-
ga tie and decide upon both subjects
PART1NGToNIAN - There is lieutenant,
says the Burlington Times, in the volunteer
service of the United States, who thinks thai
the only way to end the rebellion is to aDtjci-
nate the slaves. He is also of the opinion that
the paroEng of prisoners is all humbug.-
The only run across the lines, he says, ane
consscrote. When the companies of regl-
ment are not full he is convinced that the
miaimuS companies should be taken and con
sodeyated. The mails used to arrive with very
respectable regularity at his regiment, but they
were not always dissipa,ed promptly. These
are almost equal to the remark Of another NAL
prop who spoke of taking the wounded of
the field of battle in an aUalaache!
