AN ENCOURAGING PRrDrcTIoY.

AN ENCOURAGING PREDICTION. -
enator Trumbull of Illinois, the person
al and political friend of President Lin
coin, in introducing the proposed cousti
tutonal amendment abolishing slavery
and removing that question from our ma
tional politics, said
Instead OF looking back and mourn
ing over the past, let Us remember them
only for the lessons they teach for the
future. Forgetting the things which are
past, let US press forward to the accom-.
plshment of what is before. We have
al last placed at the head of our armies
a man in whom the country has conf
drnce, man who has won victories
wherever he has been, and | trust that
his mind is TO be permitted uninterlered
with to unite our forces, never before so
formidable as tod day, in one or two grand
armies aud hurl them upon the rebel
force. Let him put to flight the main
rebel army which has threatened the
capital for the last three years, and the
small rebel armies will quickly succumb.
| look for that result during the cam>
paign, and with that result, if we civil
lans do our duty, we shall have The au-
thority OF the Constitution vindicaled,
constitutional liberty re-establiShed, the
Union restored, and freedom everywhere

GEN. BUTLER IN THE MELTING
MooD.-Gen. Butler has RENTED the
punishment of Rev. Mr.. Wingfeld, an
Episcopal clergyman of Portsmouth, Va,
sentenced to work on the street for his
disloyalty. The General says: His
punishment is RENTED, not from respect
for the man or MS acts, or because it is
unjust, but because its nature may be
supposed to reflect upon the Christian
church, which by bis connection with 1t
has already been too much disgraced."
AT the requst of Gen. Butler, Presi-
dent Lincoln has granted free and full
pardon to Cincinnsius w. Newton Of
Norfolk. one of the electors from Viz
GINA, who voted in the rebel electoral
college for JEFF. Davis for president Of
the southern confed-racy. He is brother
of Major Gen. Newton of our army.

BOLD SPEECH OF A KENTUCKY

BOLD SPEECH OF A KENTUCKY
.CoNGKEssMAN.-Gen. Clay Smith, mrm
Der of Congress from kentucky, made a
speech to his constituents at Lexington,
Ky, on the 28th ult., in which he took
bold ground. Mr.. Smith said he had
pledged himself to vote men and money
to put down the rebellion. Unlike bis
opponent, he had kept his pledge as a
necessary means to prosecute the war.
The enrolment law had been passed by
Congress. He had voted for the amend
fmeni to pay loyal owners for their slaves
who were conscripted.-The negro was
no better worth saving from the rebel
bullet than white man. A necfo could
dig bitches or drive teams as well as his
son or brother, drafted to do the servile
work OF the army. Not less than one
hundred and fifty thousand negroes were
even now employed by the government
for army purposes, as laborers or SOL
diers. II the negro is too good for such
work. then one hundred and fifty thou
sand white men must be drafted to Gil
their places He uttered a whitening
d-nunciation of the congressman from
Kentucky, why had condemned the peace
party OF the North when candidates, and
now sought to transfer the loyal party of
Kentucky bodily to that delestable
clique. His defense of his votes in Con
gress was complete, and called forth the
most hearty endorsement of the audience
In reference 10 the Presidential election
he stated that he did not know vino the
Union candidate would be, but he would
be elected. He should attend the Bal
rimore convention himself, and would
stand by its nominee.

1t would be but reasonable to suppose
that treatment, founded on principle,

of other chronic diseases, could be pow.
erfully tfticacious. Such il has proved
in the cure of numerous stubborn com

ANAsA BARTLETT.-We regret TO
announce the death Of Major Amasa
Bartlett. of the 9th Regiment, which
took place on March 10Th, near New
bern. N. c. His last illness WAS short
but severe. He was able 10 do duty TIL
the 18th. when he was taken with BRAN
fever and commissions, and lived only
two days.
Maj. Bartlett was too well known IN
this county to need anything like elabo-
rate eulogy from US. He was a native
of Brownington, but in early childhood
removed with his parents TO Coventry
where he was brought up. He studied
law with ]. L. Edwards, t. P. Redfeld
and Jesse Cooper, and soon after his adj
mission to the bar, went to Kansas to
take part in the struggles for freedom IN
that then infant State. There he held
the Office of States Attorney and kep-
resentative in the Legislature. In l859
he returned to Vermont, and commenced
the practice of his profession in Iras-
bureh, in company first with Jesse Coop
or and afterwards with Leavitt Bartlett,
his brother. About the LIST OF June 1862
he obtained permission to recruit com
many. which he did in the remarkably
short time Of nine days. He was chos-
en- captain, and his company became 20.
Z, of the 9th regiment
He shared the varying fortunes of the
regiment, was with it at the siege oil Sui
folk. was under heavy fire at HarperS
Ferry, endured the wearsome months at
Chicago, where the regiment was IN
camp as parolled prisoners, and reIolced
to be exchanged and 60 into active ser
vice in North Carolina. When the late
Major Jarvis was killed, Capt. Bartlett
came 10 vermont WIN h'o AS''S' $3.50
returned to Newbern as his successor IN
the office. The increase OF responslbill-
ties and anxieties perhaps il was that
the sickness of which he died.
When he was in Vermont few weeks
AGO he seemed the picture OF perfect
health, and his sudden death must have
,een shock Of intense severity TO his
riends. His remains were buried at
Coventry, on the 27lh of March, thu
unera being attended by a great con
course from that town, Newport, Derby
md Irasburgh. The discourse by Mr..
White was on Christian Patriotism.
Capls. Oakes and Wright of Coventry,
md Chllds OF Derby, with Lieuts. Kim
,all, Bisbee, Roundy and Sheriff. and
Serg,. Parker, acted as bearers.
Mai Bartlett was an upright man,
aithful friend, capable lawyer, sttr-
ing patriot, and consistent Christian
