what would follow McCiciian's
Election.

The Springfield Republican says that
Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, states
it Is . It of ALLY known at the State
Department tna' ne European govern
Il. ats have deter.n.aed 20 recognize the
Independence Of the coniederacy at once,
If Mcclellan is elected
The election nj Mcclellan would
amount to Iormal u. basement blythe
American people of the declaration Of
the Chicago platform that the attempt
to restore the Union by war is a fail
ure," and as enemies of democratic gov
eminent and of the overshadowing
growth OF our people the European gov
ernments would seize upon 1t with
avidity as good ground for recognition
of the confederacy and for active inter-
vention in its behalf. In the event of
NcClellan's election, therefore, the only
alternative presented him will be to let
the South go or to fight Europe and the
rebels together. He would of course
let the South go, and the result would
be breaking to pieces of the Union az
ter all the tremendous sacrifices made
by the people to prevent it.
10 such pretext for recognition and
interv ntion will occur if Mr.. Lincoln
is reelected, and the European govern
ments will perforce maintain the same
neutrality that has so far existed. All
we shall have to do will be to finish the
work, already nearly completed, of
crushing the rebellion, and peace, per-
manent Union and prosperity are Sc
cured.

Biils lost TO pay bounty to veteran troops
By Mr. Waite, for com. on ways and
means against bill providing to pay
certain soldiers (those volunteering
early in the wary as the state cannot
now afford to pay pensions.
| Mr. Wheeler of South Hero spoke at
length and forcibly in support of the
bill
Mr. Waite of Brattleboro, said the cues
ton was simply one as to the proper
| policy for the state to pursue in the
present condition of financial affairs and
with the prospect of expenses in the fu-
ture. The state had to choose among
the many things to be done and differ
ent classes of soldiers and soldiers fam
lilies to be rewarded or cared for.
Mr. Nicholson of Walllngford, though
yielding to no one in patriotic feeling or
sentiments OF gratitude to the veteran
! soldiers, still believed that in the pres
ent crisis of the country, it was the first
duty of the state to provide for bringing
the present struggle in which the coun-
try is involved to successful termina-
ton.
Mr. Webster of Charleston spoke brief
| ly against passing bill of the charac-
ter Of the one under consideration at the

! On the question or passing the bill
Mr. Wheeler called for the yeas and nays.

ny MRS. JULIA G. R. DoRR,
How beautiful was earth that day
The far blue ky had not a cloud
The river rippled on its way,
Singing sweet songs aloud.
The delicate beauty OF the spring
Pervaded all the murmuring air
II touched with grace the meanest thing
And made it very fair
The blithe birds darted 10 and fro,
The bees were humming round the hive,
So happy in that radiant glovl
SO glad to be alive
And II NV heart was calmly blest
knew afar the war-oloud rolled
Lurid and DARK, in fierce unrest,
Laden with woes untold.
But on that dlv my fears were s,illed;
The very air breathed was joy
The rest and peace my soul that filled
Had nothing Of alloy.
As round our humble cottage home
moved, on household tasks intent,
Glad thoughts ofdays when he should come
To bless me, with me went.
OuT hltIc Ril Cuiiie tate from scnOOl
Laden with buds and blossoms sweet,
That, nesting in the forest cool,
Had thither lured her feet.
took the flower he loved the best
The Arbutus-fairest child of May
And with its perfume half oppressed,
Twined many lovely spray
About his picture on the wall
His eyes were on me all the while,
And when / had arranged them all
thought he seemed to smile.
o Christ, be pitiful That hour
Saw him fall bleeding on the sod;
And while toyed with leaf and flower
His soul went up to God!
For him one pang-and then a crown;
For him the laurels heroes wear
For him name whose long renown
Ages shall onward bear.
For me the cross without the crown;
For me the drear and lonely life
0G0d My sun, not his, went down.
On that red field of strife
