than those too often uttered by the more learned
and highly favored Christians of the North.-Our
Sabbath Schools are not like those in Vermont,
where trybody can read, of course, but they are
at least interesting and profitable. Our greatest
lack is for teachers. We have to use for teach
ers what we can get. 1t would amuse Vermont
er to look in and see what some of our Sabbath
School teachers are. Here, perhaps, is young

herself. Next is a little curly headed boy, hardly

or ten all older and larger than himself, listen
ing while he puts forth his best efforts to help
them out with the meaning of three or four verses
of scripture, previously assigned by the Supern-
tendent as the lesson of the day-On the whole,
our people are improving; aud many, those who
have had an opportunity, are getting the start OF
the world and are in way to live and thrive.
But many very many are poor, miseraby poor,
and must remain SO fer the present. They do
need and must have help. They will suffer great

people of tie North. Will they not SEND us,

Who are the Despots in America ?

There has been great cry about despotism
among US within the last few months. We
have taken occasion more than once to show
that SO far as it is directed against the Gen
eral Government, there is no reason for it
whatever. The danger is not from that quar-
ter, and never has been. And no persons
have known it better than the very ones who
have made the loudcst noise. 1t has been no
part of their purpose to guard against the real
evil to be apprehended. They have meant
rather to cover up with false alarms, and with
pretense of zeal for liberty. The mischief has
all the while been very near themselves, and
very much of their own begetting. With our
popular institutions, and with people proud
active, and restless, the danger to freedom,
it can not be too often repeated, is not on the
side of law, but on that of lawlessness, We
may be sure enough that the first serious ap-
proaches of tyranny will be from that direc-
ton. The passions of the multitude will be
stirred up; law will be denounced and Knocked
at; the fierce spirits of icenced riot will be
evoked desperate and reckless men will be
pushed forward to resist the Government
cowardly men. made selfish, and wicked, and
more crafty, will lie back and urge them on

The contributions FROM Vermont, received by
this Association In Boston during the month Of
August, were from the following towns -
Brattleboro, Bradford, Rochester, East Burke,
East Dover, Waterbury, Proctorsville, Fayette-
vile, Hardwck, Post Mills, GaysvIlle, Cam
bridge, Middlebury, Castleton Wilmington
Tunbridge, Saxton's River, Shoreham, Char
lotte, Montpelier.
Besides these, at different times, were two
boxes, one halt-barrel, and key, OF which all
that is known Is, they were forwarded by the
Quarter Master General from Brattleboro.
There was no name of place upon them, or let
ter concerning them.
Mark the name Of the town upon the outside,
place in the box an invoice of the contents, and
send letter By mail to n. 4. w A. A., %
Summer st , Boston, announcing the contribu-
ton as on the way. Address the box according
to the cards of address distributed to the Aid
Societies. This is all that is necessary to in
sure the safe transit, and an acknowledged
of the receipt OF the box.
We are asked to continue the prompt for
wardng of hospital stores through the autumn.
Many army expeditions, to be fitted out at once,
will make heavy demand upon the Commission
for the necessary hospital supplies, and our New
England brothers, perhaps the men who went
out from our very hearthstones, will accompany
those expeditions.
1t would crafty the women of Vermont to
know how important their contributions have
become in making up the aggregate of the New
England supplies. Only those who visit the
Rooms of the Association III Boston, will fully
und' rs.and what the benevolent work of Yer
mont women is.
The Agent would be glad to heal from every

The REBELS KNOW THEIR FRIENDs.-The Rich
mond Enquirer, in estimating the good results
to be realized by the Confederacy out of the 1e-
cent success of Bragg in Georgia, says
Shoul1 Bragg win decided victory, driving
Rosecrans back upon Nashville, and pressing
forward upon him, Tennessee will be reclaimed
and all the gloom that lately overspread the
cause be dispelled. The most important results
hang upon the impending battle the enemy are
nowhere else able to take the field. Charleston
and Chattanooga are he only points where the
enemy present the least appearance OF fight.
Defeated at Chattanooga and driven back upon
Nashville, the Vallandigham men in Ohio would
carry the election next month with little diff
Guilty; the peace men In the United States
would once more assert their manhood, and
speak out as they did before the late disasters
had choked their utterances.
An agent of the Valandigham Democracy of
OLio, who recently visited Rosecrans army to
difuse L" sound political information there,
when pressed by the question admitted that
victory Of Rosecrans would seriously injure Val
landighams prospects in Ohio, while a defeat
would improve them. Thus we see that the
traitors and the copperheads are alike affected
by the results of bates. A defeat of the rebel
army weakens, demoralizes, disheartens the
traitors in the insurgent States, and weakens,
disheartens and demoralizes the Vallandigham
Copperhead Democrats of the loyal States. A
rebel victory strengthens cheers and encourages
the traitors South and the Vallandg CLEANERS
North These copperheads and the traitors are
so entirely in sympathy that, like the Samese
twins whatever affects one, similarly affects the
other Can party which is strengthened by a
defeat of the Federal arms be loyal Union

TYLER House, S ept. 22d, 1856;


DEAR FREEMAN Our Contraband Mission
yet lives and prospers, though not all is being
accomplished among the people of color that their
friends could wish. The cause of general educa-
ton is advancing. The schools at the Tyler House
and Newtovn, and the two schools in Hampton,
are doing well. We lack not so much for scho-
ars as for rooms in which to hold schools for
them. Many more could be gathered in if the
places in which our schools are held were rot
already quite too full. We have at Hampton,
and at the Tyler House, Evening schools for the
accommodation of those who cannot attend in the
day time. In all these schools there must be some
500 or 600, old and young, most of whom are ad-
vancing as rapidly, and some of them more rapid
y than do the majority of persons of the same
ages in our schools at the North. If nothing un-
foreseen occurs to interrupt, but few years will
have elapsed before very large proportion of the
ex slaves of South. eastern Virginia will be able to
read, write and transact business, with as much
ease and facility as the maj ority of the good peo-
pie of New England. Some of them, it is true
are dull, some are lazy, but many are bright,
quick to apprehend, acquire easily, and are at the
same time full of ambition, energy and enterprise.
Should the war continue many years,some Of them
may be Brigadier, if not Major-Generals. And
woe to the rebels when colored Generals head
colored divisions, brigades and regiments against
them. Who knows but God means to protract
this war till armies of ex-slaves shall themselves
inaict summary punishment upon the hosts OF
their oppressors?
Our religious institutions are not without their
uses here. Upon the regular Sabbath service
mutitudes attend, and in the exercises many seem
deeply interested. Our prayer meetings are filled
to overlooking. And such prayer meetings. They
are prayer meetings indeed. The exhortations Of
the colcred brethren, though made up of broken
and almost murdered English, are nevertheless
often interesting, affecting and instructive. And
their prayers are for the most part simple, ferven
and earnest, more like what prayers should be
