Will anybody read a short paragraph
on so common subject as SPRING. How
can we turn aside from the all engross-
ing topics Of war and business to con-
template the beauties of nature? We
are so absorbed In the stern realities of
the hour that we can scarcely spend
time, even If we had the inclination, to
look upon the smiling landscape, or lis
ten TO the song of the robin, the oriole,
and the bob-o-l link. But these too are
realities, not stern and hardening
like war and money-getting, but
peaceful and pleasant to the soul. Never
did the grass look greener, the flow
ers bloom with more charming frag-
rance, or the thrush whistle more sweet
ly on the spray. Vermont, the switzer-
land of America, is now in her glory
Notwithstanding her sons are pouring
out their life-blood by thousands, she
refuses not to appear in her customary
spring attire. Why should she2 When

nation into hcrrid war don the sackcloth
and disfgure and lacerate their features
as they may and must, but let Vermont,

her freshest and richest green. Let the

e The fighting which has already
ta.ken place in Virginia has settled three
things that many croakers have doubted
l. That Gen. Grant is match for Lee
in strategy; 2. That our men will fight
as hravely and impetuously as the rebels /;
s. That our cavalry is superior to that
boosted arm of the rebel service. From
these ascertained facts we may reason
ably deduce the conclusion that Grant
will out-general Lee that our army
with the tide of battle in its favor will
fight with more persistency and deter
alton than the rebels and that General
Sheridan will again be heard from, do
ing efficient service in gripping Lees
army. The prospect of full and final
triumph was never better.

REMARKS,

We publish the above from an ano,ay-
nous correspondent, not because we ap
prove of its sentiments or spirit, but be
cause we suppose it may be well enough
for our readers to see little of botf
sides, and all sides. Our own views can.
not be better expressed than in the fol
lowing language which we find in thu
Burlington Free Press of yesterday:
Honest, able and experienced ABRA
HAM LINCOLN is the safest and best maj
the PEOPLE have to accomplish the work
in hand. His election will be perfectly
sure if he is nominated"
The simple fact that anybody would
please the rebels better than the present
incumbent would seem to be sufficient
to convince all those who love their
country, that he ought to be the next
president. The prospects of the rebels
are SO dubious under the present admin.
istration, that they sigh and groan for a
change. We on the contrary are doing
well, and we ought to be willing to let
well enough alone. As to Mr.. Seward,
let him stand on his own pegs. We do
not believe he has struggled far behind in
the onward movement which he himself
inaugurated when he announced the ir-
repressible conflict between freedom and
slavery. Ifhe gets drunk we hope he
will be removed forthwith, for in our
humble opinion it ought to be as impos-
sible for drunkard to occupy respon-
sible place in our government, as it is
for one to enter the kingdom of heaven.
With regard to General Fremont, we
have heard some of his warmest admi-
rers say that, while from personal consi-
derations they wish he could be presi-
dent still in the present state of our
country they would prefer Chase, for
they fear that Fremont has hardly got
brains enough for the emergency.
There can be little doubt as to the SEN
timent of the great masses of the people
both East and West, and we agree with
our correspondent that it will not be
safe for the politicians 'in" or cont to
disregard this sentiment.

FROM CHARLESTON.
An Engagement Going On
lr0nclads and Batteries Engaged
New YORK, Nav II.

New YORK, May II.
The steamship Fulton reports that
while passing Charleston Bar. 18th. a
general engagement was going on be-
tween our fleet under Admiral Dahlgreen
and the rebel forts and batteries on
James and Sullivan Islands. All the
monitors appeared to be engaged, as al
so the New Ironsides. Fort Putnam on
Gregg's Point, seemsd to direct her fire
principally on Sumter, which was re-
piled to by Fort Moultrie on Sullivan's
Island, and Battery Simpkins, on James
Island. The contest was spirited and
seemed as general as any that has trans
pired since last autumn.
The Fulton chased a blockade runner
bound out from Wilmington, on the
morning of the 18th, for 5 IL hours,
and then abandoned it.

VERMONT BRIGADE.-Col. Fish, of the
Fifth regiment, passed through st. Al
bans on his way to his home in Sheldon
on Saturday evening. His wound is
from musket ball in the foot and
though exceedingly painful, is not
thought dangerous. Capt. Hurlburt's
wound is very severe, and it is feared
his leg will have to be amputated. Fish
reports the Vermont brigade terribly cut
up, but still in high spirits, and that the
whole army is even lively-that the
least occasion will call out a cheer, and
that one would hardly think it possible,
from their manners, that such terrible
work lay behind, before, and on every
side of them.

the purchase Of all imported dress goods,
and as far as possible of all importa-
lions of every kind. There is simple
sense and propriety in the idea that
carries conviction and resolution with
it wherever it is once seriously consid-
cred. We have no doubt the introduc-
ton and discussion of the matter, and

CHARACTERISTIC ANEoDoTE OF GENERAL
GRANT.-After the battle of Pittsburg
Landing and Gen. Grants complete VIC
tory at that point, General Buell., a
thorough soldier, began criticising in a
friendly way the impolicy of his having
fought battle with the Tennessee river
behind his men. "Where if beaten,
could you have retreated general ~
asked Buell.. I didn't mean to be beat
en- was Grants sententious reply. ".But
suppose you had been defeated despite
all your exertions ?" "Well, there were
the transports to carry the remains of
the command across the river" q But,
general" urged Buell., " Your whole
transports could not contain over ten
thousand men; and it would be impos-
sible for them to make more than one
trip in the face of the enemy" "Wen,
if L had been beaten" said Cen Grant.
pausing to light another cigar as he
spoke, " transportation for ten thousand
men would have been abundant for all
that would be left of us" This anec
dOte is eminently characteristic the da-
ia for the proper appreciation of it be-
ing, that Grant had about fifty thousand
men over the river.

We invite the earnest attention Of our
readers to the following appeal which
we have just received from Brattleboro.
"There is great heed of flannel shirts
and drawers, socks, slippers,-in short,
everything Of use on the battlefield. Old
linen and cotton is wanted in quantities.
Maple sugar and dried fruit, also.
We shall need, this week, everything
the country can furnish, besides all we
can buy, and all the government can
furnish-the latter doing what no gov
eminent ever thought of doing for the
sufferers in battle before. There is no
Emii to what we can do if the women
will send us their supplies. win not the
women Of the towns leave all other
work, and prepare these supplies abund-
antly till this campaign is over Z"
Everything for the emergency should
be sent to Brattleboro by express, to be
paid there, and it will be forwarded di.
rectly to Boston.
