Sayings and DOings at Montpelier.

AS the time FOR adjournment draws
near, the men most noted for wisdom
and virtue, seem to be more diligent
in the transaction of legislative bust
ness. Senator Wood reported in ia
yor of House Bill authorizing towns to
raise money to pay substitutes for
drafted men. Mr. Barlow, of st. Al
bans, introduced bill providing for
the assumption by the State of losses
suffered by the banks by the raid on
st, Adams, October 10th, 1864.
a communication was received from
the Governor, stating that his infor-
nation in regard to a possible hostile
invasion from Canada, had been re-
ceiyed from official sources aud was
of confidential character, and could
not be made public without detriment
to the public interest.
This information, however, was OF
such character as to render efficient
Legislation for defense, desirable at as
early day as practicable.
Speeches upon the militia Bill were
made by Messrs. Wheeler, of South
Hero, Stewart, Nicholson, Cushing,
Keith, and Wilson of bakersfield, but
no vote was had. Mr.. Stewards Agri.
cultural Bill was read the third time
and passed.
Senator Chapman, for Finance Com
mittee, reported blA to pay Quarter
Master General $4,000, and Henri,
Clark 500, forcompiling parliamen

present form, thinking it might work
injustice.
Mr.. Cushman thought that every
one knew all about the late raid at st.
Adams, and therefore is looking out
for these bills, so that the act can work
injustice to no one.
Mr.. Henry said the directors cannot
be released from their bonds by the
Legislature.
Mr.. Reed said that if the Legisla-
ture has no power to give mp the bonds
of the directors, this bill can do no in
Justice; but he thought that every bill
holder of that bank already knows all
about this robbery, and will take care
to present the bills in season for re-
demption.
The bill was further supported by
Senators Smith and Clark, and ordered
to a third reading
The bill to prevent raids passed the
Senate and is now law. Another de-
bate arose in regard to equalizing
town bounties. A bill to incorporate
city of Burlington was passed.
The Governor re-nominated the old
Board of Education to the Senate, and
it is reported that the body, with but
one dissenting voice, rejected the nom
nation of Hon. T. 2. Redfeld; where
upon Hon. Merritt Clark was nominal

to this matter again when we have

1t was this mysterious presence of n
force felt but not seen, that so awed
the Southern rebels in New York that,
to use the language of the General
himself in answer to question as to
future disturbance, "Thuth crushed
to earth may rise again, but they never
will" The troops maintained their
stations until Friday night, when they
all returned to their camps on Staten
Island, and yesterday the last company
of them left the harbor Of New York
on their way to the James, and thus
ended the movement on the part OF
the Government for the protection of
New York from the horrors of riot and
bloodshed

A Remarkable Episode.

The most Important part of Gen.
Buffers speech at New York, Noyem-
Der 18th, 1864, will be found in this
issue Of the VERMONT TRANscRIpr. 1t
was delivered at the close of short,
important and yet uneventful cam
paign in New York The Secretary
of War was notified of n secret organ
ization in New York city which had
purchased fire arms and were secretly
drilling, Inasmuch as there were
not less than fifteen thousand South
ern rebels in the city, too cowardly to
fight in the field, but, like the 81. Al
bans raiders, reyengeful and vindictive
enough to play the assassin. 1t will
be remembered that the opposition
press ascribed the July riots to the
absence of all military force from the
city. That riot cost New York twelve
hundred lives, according to the New
York Times, and millions of dollars.
The U. S. Government determined to
apply the ounce of prevention, and
accordingly sent thither Gen. b. f.
Butler The N y Times says;
On the Sd of November, Gen. Butler
received an order directing him to
proceed to New York and take com
mand of such troops as might be or
dered to report to him there. In
twelve hours the General was here
and had established his headquarters
at the Hoffman House. In fortv-ei ht
hours a proyisoned army corps was
transferred from the banks of the
James to the Hudson 1t was an or
gained army in every respect, com
plete with the proper proportion OF
cavalry and artillery, and composed Of
veteran troops selected for special SER
vice. That portion intended for ser.
vice in the city. has temporarily en-
camped on Staten Island and Fort
Hamilton.
Gen Butler then devoted the day
intervening before election to making
himself acquainted with the city, with
its police arrangements and with Tho
means Mt hand to preserve order
Maps We're studied, the Superintend
ent and Commissioners of police wer,
consulted, and plans perfected. Tele
graphic communication was estab
lished between his headquarters anc
every part of the city. Trustworth,
commissioned officers were detailed Il
remain at each police station hous,
and a special bureau of information
organized. An engineer department
was created, and system of barricad
agreed upon by which riot might b,
confined to the part of the city in whicl
it first broke out But one chief poin
was never lost sight Of 1t was neces
sary that no excuse should be offere,
to the enemies of the Government 70
raising the cry of earned interference
with the freedom of the ballot box.
This part of the movement was execut
ed in signally successful manner.
On the morning of the Sth of Nov
. ember the City Of New York was sun
rounded by q Gordon of soldiers i
arms, yet not an armed man was Wis
= bic. Horses were harnessed to til
guns, and flying artillery could hay
been whirled through the streets [

The Presidential Proclamation which
stands at the head Of our editorial col
nmns to-day, recommending Thursday
Nov. Gath, 1864, az day for public
Thanksgiving and praise, will be read
with pleasure, not simply for the beau
ty Of its style, but for the Importance
of the different recommendation
which it contains.
!, 1t recommends humility. In this re-
spect, perhaps, no nation has been
more wanting than ours. Our great
prosperity in the various departments
of human industry--our unparalleled
success in commerce throughout the
civilized world--our territorial expan-
sion and discovery of rich mines on
the Pacific and in the North West, and
petroleum wells in the East and West,
which add so immensely to national
wealth-these and many more causes
which need not now be enumerated,
have stimulated our nation to gross
pride and vanity, which extravaganza
OF dress, equipage, and all manner OF
luxury, seem to have made inordinate
and intolerable in the sight of high
Heaven. Such pride and vanity need
ed the humbling which recent bloody
events and wide spread sorrow, conse-
r quent upon fratricidal warfare, must
q OF necessity insure. The nation, in
its pride and vanity, was forgetting
Him who holdeth all worlds and PEG
pie in the hollow Of his hand. Right
proper then is it for us TO humble our
selves reverently in the dust, in view
of our great pride and sinfulness as
nation.
2, The recommendation OF peniten
and fervent prayer and supplication t.
the Great Disposer Of events, follow
upon that of humility. The need o
the establishment of an altar of praye
and Of recognition Of christian
religion, have been forced upon tn,
attention of thoughtful men pendins
the national crisis. II may be tina
