Saa.rhman & STATE JgurnaI.
BYB.P. WALTON
MONTPELIER. DEC. l6. 1854.
FROM WASHINGTON.

Dec. 8, in the Senate the standing commit
tees were appointed. Senator Sherman Of
Ohio takes the place of Mr.. Fessenden as
chairman Of the committee on finance. SEN
ator Collamer is on the committees on post
Offices and post roads, the library and the
Pacific acknowledging chairman Of the first
two. Senator Foot is on the committees on
public buildings and grounds, pensions, judi
ciary, and public hnds-being chairman of
the drst Senator Morgan presented petit
ton asking for the establishment Of nation
al home for persons totally disabled in the
army or navy; referred to committee on mill
tary affairs.
In the house the ways and means commit
tee reported bill explanatory Of the laws
taxing cigars postponed to Monday. The
/ President by message recommended resolu-
lions # thanks to Capt. winslow and Lieut.
Gushing of the navy for gallant services
The ways and means committee was instruct
ed to inquire into the expediency Of dis
pensing with commercial agents in insurrec-
tionary states and the Judiciary committee
as to the expediency of denitionslizing all
persons who leave the country to escape the
draft or military service. Both Houses ad-
journed to Monday.
In the Senate, Dec. II, Mr.. Davis of Ky.
amused himself by series Of resolution for
a convention of states to talk about peace,
and for various changes in the Constitution.
He proposes to unite the small states so as to
make large ones-to give the President and
Vice President alternately to the free and
slave states, changing every four years--and
to provide that no negro shall ever be a cit
izen of the United States. That is enough
for our readers to laugh at until Mr.. Davis
does some other stupid hing.
In the House, Mr.. Fenton Of N. Y. resign
ed to take the Governorship Of New York.
The bankrupt bill was amended so as to take
effect June list, 1865. and was then passed
by 20 major;ty-76 to So. Its fate in the
Senate is doubtful

The MYSTICAL Rose: or, Mary Of Naz ar
eth, the Lily of the House of David. BY
Marie Josephine. New York, d. Appleton
81 Co.. 1865. 900 pages,
Through the hands Of Mrs. Brigham, we
have received copy Of this elegant and
charming book in advance OF the date Of pub
LEGATION. Translating the title page into sober
prose, we describe the bobk as the Life Of the
Virgin Mary, by Abby Marie Hemen way. We
have known Miss Hemenway to be lady Of
good taste and literary powers-an enthusiast
in Vermont history, who has gathered from
every known source the leaves Of her poets !;
and yet this volume is surprze to us. We
surprised to find an elaborate dramatic
poem, in seven books, we'll sustained through
out, and Astounding in beautiful things. Mice
h. has availed herself Of everything in sscreu
history, and everything in tradition, Christian
or Pagan, and out of these has drawn vivid
picture Of the Holy Family. The publishers
have framed it elegantly, so that, every way i,
the book is eminently worthy OF place in
every family. Geo. W. Wilder has a few
copies for sale.
WINFIELD THE LAWYERS Son, and how he
became Major General. BY Major PEN
niman, author of The Tanner Boy Phil
adelphia, Ashmead d Evans. 1923 pages
illustrated. Price $3.50.
An elegant volume, in all the glory of good
paper, new type and neat printing. One might
reasonably guess, from the title, that it is a
holiday book for the boys, and in truth it is
capital book for such purpose but it is
more than this-a record Of the life and ser
vices of Major General Winfield Scott Han
cock. The author is eloquent and enthusiast
tic in praise Of this distinguished officer. who
at the age of forty was considered fit for the
command of the U. S. Army, and probably
would have had that post instead of Maj
Gen. Meade, had not Hancock himself pre-
ferred Meade. The only ba tle-scene in the
illustrations of this volume is that Of the
charge of the 9th Vermont at Gettysburgh
and that brilliant affair is of course describ-
ed. Col. Randall! will certainly be amused
when he finds himself recorded as "a gentle
man somewhat advanced in years." rushing
with his regimen, to the attack with "his few
remaining locks streaming in the wind" The
Colonel will doubtless confess TO the stream
ing hair, and the gallant advance upon the
enemy, but not to the advanced years.

The skedsdders from Calais, met with a
little bad luck, three of them being arrested
by the guard at lrasburgh. They had to
show that they were citizens Of Calais before
they could get a discharge. Moreover we
learn that these men took their families with
them, and left their property to be disposed
of for what it would ietcn. 1t is the absurd
est case of panic we ever heard of.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l7.-When the news
of Gen. Thomas first days attack on
Hood was telegraphed to Washington,
the President sent congrntulatory dis.
patch to him, thanking him and his army
for the glorious success which he had
achieved.
The Secretary of War sent u similar
dispatch, as did also General Grant, who
was at that time in Washington. This
accounts for General Thomas addressing
his detailed account Of his victory to all
of these gentlemen.
To-day salute of two hundred guns
was fired here ia honor of the triumph
over Hood, and the flags of the several
Departments were flying at full mast.
Yesterday nearly all the rebel prisoners
were removed from the Old Capitol and
sent North Most of these were men
disabled by sickness and wounds, and
who have been collecting here for some
time from the several hospitals
Since Wednesday morning 5000 of our
exchanged prisoners have arrived ut An.
napolis, 1900 Of whom reached there last
evening from Charleston.
1t is said here that the rebel Brigadier
General Granbury, who was killed at the
battle at Franklin, was formerly pastor
Of Methodist Episcopal Church in this
city.
He was afterwards appointed to the
College at Charlottesville, where he was
officiating as chaplain when the rebellion
commenced.
