CAMP GRIFFIN" Anti-rebel," cores
pondent of the Montpelier Freeman thus
describes a visit to Camp Griffin
Our route lay through Drainsville,
and Louisville to Chain Bridge ground
made familiar to us during our first
winter in the Notwithstanding away
from the ranks visited the location of
our first winter quarters in the war at
Camp Griffin. Time has modified the
appearance of the Old camp ground since
we left it, and marred its beauty some
what, but otherwise 1t was just the
same as when we bid it adieu, the 10th
of March, 1862, and started out to cap
ture Richmond and destroy the rebellion.
No hand appeared to have meddled with
anything, but everything had been left
undisturbed. Large weeds We're grow
ing rank all over the camp. Chestnut
stumps had taken new life and sent up
its brood of young shoots, some of which
had already grown dozen feet high,
and some had grown still higher. The
leg and earthwork basement of our tents
were still traceable, scarcely different
from what they were two and half
NttIs dSo. IL was lHtS1tStibS " StaHo
on the ground where my tent was
pitched that winter and notice all thesur-
roundiags with whichis associated all my
first experience in soldiers life. There
was the same excavation that we had
made for the floor of our tent, the same
FIRE place and chimney and the same log
basement. There was my old bedstead
made of barrel slaves nailed to two
poles, and there was my old stool, which
remember used always to be in the
other boys way and which was always
reproach upon my woful lack of in
genuity. I found, too, the identical cup
which had served me with coffee many
times-a good one once, but now rusty
and half filled with dirt; and there
were many other things that saw
around that little spot, uninteresting to
others though quite interesting to me.
Back Of the colonel's tent, and around
the old hospital, somebody had had en-
terprise enough to NOW among the
weeds and gather up small stack of
hay. Our parade and grill ground was
covered with low blackberry vines bear

WHAT BECOMES OF ALL THB CENTS q
There were coined at the United States
Mint in Philadelphia during the month
of July, 100000 cents, and 2,2I0,00O
two cent pieces. When it is remembered
that the cent coinage at the mint has
averaged about half million per month
for the last two years, and knowing as
we do that there is not one quarter
enough in circulation for change of even
the small fractional paper currency, the
question may well be put, what be-
comes of all the cents Z"
One cause for the scarcity of cents,
and perhaps the only one, is the premium,
giren By sto,ekepers in large cities ten or
twelve per cent. is the ruling rate In
many country towns, milkmen, bakers,
and small storekeepers, as we'll as mar
ket men generally, hoard up cents and
sell them at premium of six to eight
per cent. All these are drawn from the
currency of large cities, and sold to
brokers in those cities, who again sell
them at ten or twelve per cent. to ba
again withdrawn and boarded for pre-
MUM.
Now the only remedy seems to be to
atop paying the press'sr., and instead o.
buying cents, let every person using
them deposit with James Pollock, ESQ.
Director of the U. 8. Mint, Philadelphia
| greenbacks In sums not less than SIS
1 and the cents will be sent, free of al
ehosga, in the course Of q few weeks
II this plan be generally adopted cent.

5<g There is sound, practical wisdom
in these suggestions of an eminent citi-
zen of Massachusetts, in private note
to the Springfield Republican Il hope
that you give no cOuntenance to the dis
sensions among those who have acted
together in support of the government,
but who are rendering it possible, by at
tacks upon the administration, for the
democrats to achieve success. There is
sin enough to be atoned for, but there
is only one course that can be pursued
with safety. We must support the ad-
ministration and the nominations made
at Baltimore. 1t is too late to change
front. The enemy are upon us. We
must suffer defeat or gain victory
under our present leaders. The nomi-
ration of Lincoln may have been mis-
take; an attempt to substitute any 9th
er person would now be greater mis-
take. What w need, and all we need,
is courage. Private disappointments,
personal griefs, must be dsregarded -
The issue is between Mr.. Lincoln and
the nominee of the Chicago convention.
Whoever the latter may be, and what
ever the platform, the policy will be the
same-peace upon terms satisfactory to
the South. The terms may easily be
foreseen. Mr.. Lincoln is for the Union.
The traitors South and their sympathiz-
ers North are against him. They will
unite in favor of the nominee of the
Chicago convention"

The HARMONIOUS DENocRAcY.-A Ne,

THB HARMONIOUS DEMoCRAcY.-AN New
York city paper says that if Mcclellan
is not nominated he will be run by the
people," On the other hand, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer responds "the people of
the West are not to be dragooned in that
way" "they have been the tail to the
New York kite too long already" and
Sam Medary. who always used to be con-
sidered the Democratic oracle of Ohio,
says:
The idea of peace men being for Nc
Clellan is too ridiculous to talk about.
1t is a trick and deception, intended
as such and nothing else. Had Mr.. Lin
coin given Mcclellan more men on the
Chickahominy, Mcclellan to day would
have been one of Lincoln's most subSer-
Went Instruments. This is true by his
own report, and if that is false, then
Mcclellan is unworthy of any party's
support"

THE PEACE RuMoRs.-The New York
Times Washington correspondent says
In regard to the sensation "peace" dis
patches, that there has been nobody at
Niagara representing the government,
or in any way expressing its opinions,
concerned in any negotiations or CONVEX
sations with the rebel emissaries on the
subject of peace. The government has
not entertained or discussed the project
Of proposing an armistice with the reb-
els nor has it any intention of sending
commissioners to Richmond for the pur-
pose of ofering or soliciting terms of
peace, or of negotiating with the rebel
authorities on that or any other subject
Its sole and undivided purpose is to pros
ecute the war until the rebellion is quel-
led. But if anybody doubts its willing
ness to make peace whenever the rebels
will lay down their arms and return to
the Union, let him produce any PROPOSE
ton from the rebel authorities to that
effect, or any evidence that they are de-
sirous of ending the war on those terms,
and he will then be in condition to test
the purpose and disposition Of the gov
&nment on that point.

THE REBEL. RAM TESNRssEB.-Private
letters received in Washington from ma

of Mobile, say that the captured, rebel
ram Tennessee, in invulnerability and
power, is vastly superior to any iron
clad vessel excepting perhaps the New
Ironsides") in our navy. She had but
enc defect in her construction, and that
was the exposure of her rudder chains,
which were above deck instead of be-
low, only partially protected by thin
coating OF iron. Only two shot, out OF
more than two hundred which struck
her. penetrated her sheeting, and only
enc Ia fifteen-inch solid shot) went
through her wood work The Tennessee

Dew slight repairs which can be com.
pleted in a few days, will become most
valuable adjunct to our navy. She cost

half Of dollars.

New STYLE Of BALLoT-Box.- Mr.. A. ].
Mcpherson, of the Fifth ward, exhibited
to the Board of Supervisors on Satur-
day new ballot-box invented by him,
for which q patent has been applied. 1t
is intended to guard against fraud in
receiving the little pieces of paper,
'tThat execute the fraemans viii,
AS lightning los the Will OF Jove."
The important feature of the box is q
glass mouth into which the ballot is
placed, but from which it cannot be
pulled back. Each vote remains sus-
pended in sight until pushed down by
the succeeding ballot, and even then it
does not enter the tin box below until a
spring, with a little alarm bell is ruDg
The advantages are, that no one can de-
posit more than one ballOt-fOr the
stufiing" is seen through the glass.
Then again it is often the case that after
Il mas has deposited his ballot, it is dis
covered tat the vote is Illegal. In the
case Of an ordinary box, this discovery
is too late with Mr.. McPhersons plan,
the top Of the glass mouth can be un-
fastened, and the bogus ballot returned
As the apparatus is cheap and simple
we should think it would come into
general use in county given, like ours,
to frequent and closely contested cleo
tions.-Troy Tames. ...........
