Irasburgh Express have located in Chi

Col. Barney of the Sixth Vermont had
participated in fourteen battles. One of
the most severe conflicts in which he
ever engaged was that Of Fredericks-
burgh, May, 1868, On this day the Sixth
captured some three or four hundred
prisoners, including two colonies, one
major and several other officers. The
sword of Col. Lewis of the Seventh Lou
isiana was surrendered to Col. Barney
and sent home as trophy.
In the last letter addressed to his wife
previous to going into battle) he says ;
my hope and trust are firm in my Sa-
viour, and feel strong to 60 forth this
time. 1t may be my lot to fall in this
campaign; but thank God that Christ
died for me, and if am never again
permitted to return TO my home and
those / love, believe we shall meet in
that bright world above"

Vicious HoRsE.-While young lady
of this village was walking on Mer-
chants Row, yesterday, horse hitched
by long halter to an iron railing at the
edge of the sidewalk, suddenly reached
out his head, seized her arm in his mouth
and very severely bit it. Sheriff
Field, the young lady's father, on hear
ing of it made diligent inquiry for the
owner OF the horse, but we believe did
not succeed in finding him. Owners of
vicious horses should know better than
to leave them in such places.

Co. H, I'd Vermont regiment, resident
of Middlebury, has been promoted to be
Major of the regiment, and is now at
home in Middlebury on a brief furlough,
while recovering from an injury received
by being thrown from his horse. He is
rapidly improving, and the recent death
of the Colonel and Lieut. Colonel of his

be called to the command of the regi-

THE GOLD SPECULAToRs.-Peo are
wondering why gold continues to ad-
vance when everything looks so favor
able for ultimate success in the field
We find in the New York papers two
both. Says the Express:
"There is a clique in Wall and Will
liam streets and elsewhere striving to
run up gold to 200, expecting then to
sell out at a large profit. Some of the
SPECTATORS have also made large bets
that gold will reach this price, and are
ready to sacrifice good deal to win
their bets, even though they lose money
upon the speculation for time. The
souls of the SPECTATORS must be good
deal harder than the metal in which
they deal and they seem to care but little
what becomes of the country or its PEG.
pie so that they profit by the war"
Says the New York Herald
"Wall street is in measure in the
hands of rebel sympathizers and direct
rebel agents, who create a fictitious
price for the purpose of showing the en-
barrassed condition of affairs at the
North, to dispirit our people and give
comfort to the enemy and his agents.
There is nothing substantial in the
way these gentry carry on their pro-
ceedings except the success which at
tends them. A rebel agent nominally
buys or sells with another with whom
he is in COLLISION, at a high rate neither
of them having dollar with which to
operate and this quotation is i'm
mediately blazoned abroad as the price
of gold, whereas there is really no gold
at all represented in the transaction"
That jeff Davis has agents operating
to break down our finances has been
proved by intercepted correspondence.
And in one sense every Spectator in
gold who operates for a rise is an agent
of JEFF Davis. The moral oblipuity of
these gold spectators is only equaled
by their lack of patriotism. --Boston Jour.
A BAFFLRp FREScHMAN.--A French
man, resolved to get rid of life, went
little before high tide to a post set by
the sea side. He provided himself with
a ladder, a rope, pistol, bundle of
matches, and VOL of poison. Ascend
ing the ladder he tied one end of the
rope to the post and the other end
around his neck, then took the poison,
set his clothes on fire, put the pistol to
his head and kicked away the ladder.
In kicking away the ladder he snapped
the pistol, SO that the ball missed his
head and cut the rope by which he was
suspended he fell into the sea, thus ex-
tinguishing the flames of his clothes,
and the sea water which he inyoiuntari-
| ~ swallowed, counteracted the poison,
| and a wave washed him ashore; thus,
in spite of his precautions, he remained
unhanged, unshot. imprisoned, uaburn-
] ed and undrowned

VETERAN RESERVE CoRPs.-The vet
eran reserve corps have had orders to
equip themselves in every particular for
the field, and expect to go to the base of
supplies of the army of the Potomac to
do guard duty The prospect of a change
from the present monotony to more &C
tive service is very agreeable to the off,
GERS and men of the corps.

complished is an excellent one, May

A PROPER REBUKE.-On Friday morn
ing last, as David Paul Brown, Esq
rose to address the jury on behalf Of the
defendant, in the case of the Common
wealth .. Kerscher, charged with muir
der, he perceived that two of the jury
men had their legs stretched out some
what higher than their bodies, with
their dirty boots resting upon the
railing that separated the jury box
from the bar Mr. Brown, before COM
mencing his speech, addressing these two
jurymen, said, Take down your feet,
sirs; came here to speak to mems
heads or their hearts, and not to their
feet; and will submit to no such indig-
nifty in court of justice, when the life
of an individual is at stake, for decency
is part of the law" The feet of course
dropped at once, and an apology was
made. This was merited rebuke from
the counsel, and bold one too, as it was
directed to two of the very body who
were to decide the prisoners fate.

The DIFPERENCE.-At the recent meet
ing of the New England Anti Slavery
Society held at Boston, President Lin.
coin was discussed by Phillips and Gar
rison. Mr.. Garrison thought that Mr..
Lincoln had done as well as could have
been reasonably expected, seeing that he
was hampered by his oath to support
the constitution, and Mr.. Phillips did
not believe in taking or keeping any
such oath. This, the Springfield Repub-
lican thinks, is precisely the difference
between the radicals and constitutional
Union men, and really the only ground
of complaint against Mr.. Lincoln, when
you go to the root of the matter.

CONDITION OF RIcHMoND.-The follow
ing graphic description of the condition
of Richmond is from the Examiner of
May 26th: "Grand, gloomy, peculiar,
and unruffled as the bosom Of Sahara,
after simeon, the city continued on
yesterday to demonstrate its placidity
under the difficulties inflicted on it's pa
thence by the powers that be. The stores
remained shut up. Male and female in
stitutions of learning, whose tutors
could bear muskets, remained closed.
The families Of poor militia men con-
tinued to mingle anathemas and tears
with their borrowed crusts. The mar
kets presented miserable array of
something to eat, and the extortioners
out OF the service, continued to swell
their profits, and bless the wisdom of
those in authority. Vicksburg, bonn
barded in front and rear, cut OF from all
the world, and languishing under her
severest trials, presented no such sepul-
chred appearance as Richmond does to-
day. The people have grown sick of
the wrongs inflicted upon them within
the brief space of few weeks. and be
sure that they will treasure them up"
