polished manners and address. When the
war broke out, Gen. Wadsworth entered the

and fought at fredericksburg, Chancellors-
vile, and through the Maryland campaign,
commanding at the battle Of Gettysburg the

preliminary to the present campaign, he was
placed in command of the second brigade,

We hardly need add TO what We have al
ready said on tire subject ofthc State Con-
veuton TO he held here or Tuesday next.
We hope the Convention viii be a large ono,
well representing all parts of the State. Men
whose hearts are warm with love tor their
country e cause, who are ready to spend time
and money. and If need be their own blood
for It's support, men WHO abhor all injustice,
and dish5nor, who hate slavery and rebellion
in particular with a perfect hatred, men who
intend % support their own government
against all the foes. domestic OF foreign that
rise up against ~ or reek the nati-n's hurt,
ought to be present in large numbers, and to
give utterance to their feelings and deter
mination in r%csolIte and hearty words. The
men who may be selected by the convention
to represent the State Of Vermont in the
National Convention ought TO b- such as
will truly represent the sentiment and charac-
ter Of the State, men wbasc personal charac-
ter and abilities and whose p %litical senti-
ments are wei known and are such a. to
command the respect Of all who meet them
in Convention or elsewhere.
There is no uncertainty a. to tho standing
of VERMONT before the Nation. and the gen.
cral sentiment Of her people, and there ought
to he no uncertainty as to the men who are
to represent her in that Convention.

NEwsPAPoRrAL.-We notice that the Bur
ington Daily Free Press has completed tel
egraphic arrangements by which it will
hereafter give It's readers every evening the
best part Of the special dispatches from Wash
ington, published in the Boston Adrernser
and Springfield Republican. TheseIdespatch-
es contain frequently much later and fuller
news than the news reports OF the Associated
Press, or even the special reports of the New
York papers, and are ALWAYS of great inter
est and Importance, especially to New Eng
land readers.
This arrangement must he attended with
considerable expense, hut is only what would
be expected Of an establishment which snares
no pains to give Its readers as good a parer
as can be made in the country. And iust
now, when the people are anxiousIv looking
every moment for the most important news
from the Union armies, this new feature in
the Free Press Is one which will be pecu-
liarly appreciated by its readers. and will
undoubtedly Increase its deservedly large
circulation-Greu Mountain Freemar.

on Sunday at sp0tsylvania Court House, 20
miles south.
The battle Of Friday was a very severe one,
even surprising, it is said. that Of Gettys-
burg. 1t was an infantry fight, altogether.
The rebels BY their furious charges repeated
ly drove back our lines first one side and then
the other but the lines were as often re-
established, and the enemy could obtain no
permanent advantage.
The President issues a bulletin, recon-
mending Thanksgiving and prayer, in which
all hearts viii d@evOutly join. We have, in
deed, won a great victory.

PRANG's ALBuN PrcTUREs.-These are ex-
quisite little pictures, Of the Carte-de-visite
style, Autographed in eolors which represent
summer and winter landscapes, flowers,
American birds, autumn leaves, butterflies,
moths, sea-weed, &c. We have never seen
anything of the kind superior to them, in
beauty Of color. accuracy of design and
truthfulness to nature. Take some Of the
sea-weed, for instance a lady of our ac-
quaintance who has prepared a good deal of
sea-weed for herbarIums, verify thought the
pictures were weed itself, glued on the card,
and could hardly be persuaded otherwise.
The demand for these beautiful pictures is
rapidly increasing. Messrs L. Prang & Co.,
OF Boston, who introduced them, are getting
up new series from time, and are receiving
large orders for them, even from abroad
