the language OF deliberation, as is shown by
the unvarying course of Mr.. johnson ever since.
During the last spring he addressed his old
neighbors of East Tennessee in a speech from
which we take the following extracts:
1.-THE time has arrived when treason must be
made odious, when traitors must be punished
impoverished their property taken from them
whether it he their horses, their lands or their
negroes, and given TO the innocent, the honest,
the loyal, upon whom the calami,ies of this un-
provoked and wicked rebellion have fallen with
such crushing weight.
"What has brought this war upon us! Let
me answer in one word let me speak it so loud
the deafest man in this multitude can hear me
Slavery! Hundreds OF voices That's
so, that's Gods truth.D Men talk about the
Constitution and State rights. They sneer at
the Emancipation Proclamation, and call il a
tyrannicol assumption of authority despotic
usurpa,ion of power. Listen to what | now
say all such talk is the language of treason"

gloom but when remember that there is q

Gus as ought to be, sometimes walk by faith

The Army and Navy Journal calls attention
to the fact that Gen. Meade is still commander
of the army of the Potomac. He gets ignored
in the newspapers, which speak Of Gen. Grant
as the commander, but the Journal says the
orders of Gen. Grant to Gen. Meade are of the
most general character, the manner of execu.
ting them being left to the judgment and skill
of the latter, who stands in the same relation
to his army that Gen. Sherman does to his ex.
cept that Grant, is with the former.
Gen. Grant has made important changes il
the organization Of the artillery of the army d
the Potomac, with the view Of increasing il,
mobility and its efficiency. The old organiza
ton of batteries of six pieces of like caliber-
light twelves, or en-pounder Parrots-is bro
ken up, and the number of pieces in each bat
terry is reduced to four. With view of adap
ting the battery to the varying conditions of al
engagement, the caliber OF the pieces is mixed
two light twelves and two ten-pounders
The four guns are accompanied by six Gals
sons, the intention being to provide q large
supply of ammunition.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1864-06-17
THE SITUATION.

The news from Gen. Sturgis, at the West, is
disastrous He has met with sad defeat and
serious loss, by which it is feared the enemy
may trouble Gen. Sherman in the rear.
All accounts from Gen. Sherman show that
thus far he has been successful in his advance
towards Atlanta, and also show that he is TO
have a very severe struggle before he occupies
that place. Much depends upon his success.
Gen. Hunter in the valley of the Shenandoah
has had glorious success, having handsomely
whipped the enemy, killed many of their num-
ber taken large number of prisoners, seized
valuable stores and inflicted much injury on the
rebels. Stanton is in his possession, and his
forces have formed a junction with those Of
Gems. Averill and Crook. 1t is expected tina,
they will SON take possession Of Gordonsvle
and Lynchbsrg, thus commanding important
positions by which we can cut off Lees com.
munications from the southwestern part of Vir.
ginia and East Tennessee.
OF the precise movements of Gen. Grant we
are not definitely informed, but from all we can
gather we conclude his aim is to get his army
across the James river and make that his base
for supplies Join his forces with those of Gen
Butler, call in the aid of the gunboats, and
draw nearer and nearer TO Richmond by Greg
ular approaches" using all his forces by land
and water 10 reduce that heart of the rebellion.
1t will take considerable time great deal oil
hard and dangerous work, and the sacrifice Of
a great many noble lives. But Grant is deter
mined that it shall be done, and we all bid him
God speed in the grand enterprise. Let him
have men, guns, ammunition, and everything
he needs, and he will conquer.

DEATH OF LIEUT.. A. X. PARsoNs.-'This
town was thrown into deep sorrow on Monday
by the telegraph announcing that Lieut. A. X.
Parsons of this town, had fallen in The battle
of Friday last. Lieut.. Parsons entered the ar
my nearly three years ago. enlisting in Co. A,
4h VT. regiment, and by whom lie was elected
LIST Lieutenant. He served in his company
something over year, when he was called to
position on the staff OF Major Gen. Brooks

that of Antielam, where he distinguished him
self by his GOODNESS and bravery. Soon after
Gen. Brooks was stationed at Pittsburg, with n
sufficient force TO guard the State of Pennsyl-
vania against invasion by the rebels, where 1t.
Parsons has been stationed until short time
since, when he was transferred TO the staff of
Major Gen. Smith and il was while aiding his
commander in the late battles near Richmond,
that he fell. When the first onslaught was
made on the rebel works, our front line sus-
tanned heavy and destructive fire, and one Of
the regiments broke and fell back in confusion.
Gen. Smith came up as they were retiring and
drove them TO the front, amid fire of shot,
shell and bullets that made the preservation of
human life a matter of exceeding difficulty. 1t

Parsons received his death wound. He was a
brave and able officer, good citizen, beloved
and respected by all who had-the pleasure of
his acquaintance, who cannot withhold the sym
pathizing tear at the sudden stroke which re.
moved him from earthly scenes. His term Of

The temptation for those fraudulently disposed
and for those who are careless, in these days Of
scarcity in coin, TO pass for cents, tokens re.
sembling cents, is great. Such persons vii
do well to read the following section of Law
of Congress passed April %, 1864;
Ind be il further enacted, That il any per.
son or persons shall make, issue, or pass, o.
cause to be made, issued, or passed, any coin
card, token, or device whatsoever, in metal o,
its compounds, intended TO pass or he passet
as money for a one cent piece or a two cent
piece, such person or persons shall he deemed
guilty of misdemtanor and shall on eonvie
ton thereof be punished by q fne not exceed
ing one thousand dollars, and by imprisonment
for term not exceeding five years.

TIE NOMINATIONS.

The nomination of Abraham Lincoln for
President, and of Andrew Johnson for Vice
President, seem 10 give universal satisfaction
to all but "secesh" and "copperheads." And
ii is good omen that these dislike it almost
conclusive evidence that they are nominations
emnently eft" 10 he made. The platform on
which they stand is also generally approved,
and it is as far as it goes excellent. We should
have preferred one other resolution in addition
to those adopted For ourselves we wish to
have all races and all colors placed on the same
political footing; that black men shall not only
be free, but have guaranteed TO them all rights
granted to the whites. But all this, we trust,
will come in due time. The work on hand is
TO put down the rebellion, ard in putting that
down, to put an end to slavery at the same
time In selecting Lincoln and Johnson for
our leaders we understand what course is TO be
pursued, and what ends are to be accomplished.
The war is to be prosecuted till there is an un-
conditional surrender Of the rebel insurgents.
No compromise is 10 be made with traitors
They are to be subdued, a1d made to submit
to lawful authority, or, else eXterminated or
driven from the country. There must be left
no vestige of slavery or the slave power after
this war has closed. There must be freedom
and free institutions wherever the flag of the
Union is unfurled And from the Baltimore
resolutions, and the candidates there put in
nomination, we have the assurance that this i,
the result TO be sought and accomplished, let il
cost what it may. The integrity, the earnest
ness, the loyalty and the patriotism of the can
didates, with their ability and experience il
public affairs, inspire the people with confidence
that they will do their best 10 bring us out o
darkness into light, to end the war, and to es
tablish peace on the foundation of justice, lib
erty and right. And we shall be greatly dis
appointed il these men do not have an over
whelming majority at the ensuing election
With these men at the head of the government
and Gen. Grant at the head of the army, an,
with the blessing of God on righteous cause
we cannot fail we must succeed.

WHAT SORT OF A MAN ANDY JOHNSON Is.
If any one has any doubt or this subject, in
view of the responsible position to which Mr..
Johnson is evidently destined, he has but TO
turn to any part of the noble Tennesseean's re-
cord since the outbreak of the rebellion. In
his famous reply to Senator Lane of Oregon in
the first debates on the subject, when asked
what he would do were he the President of the
United States, he said
"The distinguished Senator from Oregon
asks me what would do.wi,h the rebels. we're

have them arrested, could hare them tried
and Il found guilty. by the ETERNAL GoD
