CAsTLEToN IrEMs,-Mr. George Hight
of Castleton, picked from one of his to-
bacco plants last Saturday leaf that
measured "a inches in length and II
inches in width, the largest specimen of
tobacco growing in this vicinity, that
we have seen or read of as yet In his
little piece of few rods there is any
quantity of leaves that measure about
10 inches in width by 30 inches in
length.
In the west part of the county there
is something being done in the way of
raising soldiers under the last call. In
Poultney several have enlisted for
bounties from five to fifteen hundred
dollars. In Fairhaven q number have
been raised at one thousand dollars
bounty. In Castleton no men have been
secured yet, but the selectmen have de-
posted three thousand dollars in the
state treasury for the purpose of re-
cruiting colored men. The selectmen
have been instructed to pay liberal
bounties, but no men are forthcoming
as yet. The town is ID in excess leav-
ing II men to be recruited to
fill up the quota under the call. The
town has always come to time hereto
fore and we believe it will now. Let
every man and every woman do their
duty and there will be no lack of volun-
teers. ..
One man in Castleton paid another
man three hundred dollars to insure
him from a draft for three years, or in
other words, the latter gave bonds to
the amount that he would take his place
provided he was drafted. This transac-
ton took place between two men amply
able to pay hundreds or even thousands
of dollars for a substitute, but the first
wanted the responsibility and trouble
off from his mind, and the other was
willing to run the risk for the sake of
making the little three hundred.

AN INTERVIEW WITH GEN. GRANT,
The New York Evening Post has let
ter which relates to a conversation
recently occurred between Gen. Grant
and gentleman charged with mes
sage to him. In reply to remark made
by the visitor, Gen. Grant said
"There is no danger of permanent
repulse." he answered. Though SEEM
ingly we are taking great deal of time,
yet we are using up the rebel army fast
er than it can be replenished 1t will
take more time, but am fully confident
of the result"
General" / remarked, "the people of
New York must now feel that there is
one at the head of our armies in whom
they can repose the fullest confidence"
eyes" he interrupted, s"there is a man
in the West in whom they can repose
the utmost confidence, Gen. Sherman
He is an able, upright, honorable, unam-
bilious man. We lost another one of
like character few days ago, Gen. Nc
Pherson."
The position of our army before Pc
tersburg is one which gives us the ad-
vantage. Heretofore the enemy could
have had the inside, and been enabled
to manage troops SO as to secure all the
facilities which that position Affords
Gen. Grant has now got that interior
line, and can throw troops from one
point to another, mass them, and en-
ploy them to the best advantage; and
the rebel General cannot prevent him.
Gen. Lee has found his master.
The attack on Petersburg last week,
though failing to insure a triumph, was
by no means a serious disaster. The
plans of the General commanding were
such as to avert the possibility of any
enfllading fire but some of the subordi
nate generals failed TO carry out their
part of the programme. But for this
omission on their part, Petersburg, it is
safe to declare, would have been ours
1t will be yet, but at a sacrifice of more
time.
There is every reason for confidence in
the operations of our army in Virginia.
Tn. listing the enemy, a.,s.--
tanning their own ground, and encroach-
ing on their adversaries. Their com
mander too, is an earnest man, and be-
lieves in the work in which he is en-
gagged.

NEW YoRK, Aug. 6.
The Tribuae's New Orleans CORES
pendent says.
The horrible condition of our returned
prisoner from Tyler, Texas, has in
duced Gen. Candy to waive some points
of difference, and order an exchange of
ali the rebels held, some $500 in mum
Der.
This correspondent contradicts all ru-
mors of heavy fighting at Morganzia.
There is daily skirmishing there, but
Gen. Ullman holds the place so strong
that the rebels will not attempt to
take it.
He also doubts the reported capture
of Fort Morgan, at the entrance Of Mo-
bile bay.
The Eeralds New Orleans letter of
the 30th says
All able bodied, registered enemies,
pending present military movements,
will be kept as prisoners, they having
avowed the intention of joining the rebel
army
All negroes in the streetsare now con-
fiscated.
Gen. Ullman had met and defeated the
rebels near the Atchafalaya on the
28th.
1t is reported Dick Taylor has crossed
in the neighborhood Of Plaquemine.
New YORK, Aug. 7.
The steamship Matanzas which left
New Orleans the 31st had arrived.
The Merrimaek had arrived at New
Orleans on the 31st, and the Evening
Star, Creole and Mississippi passed in
the Mississippi river bound up.
The Matanzas brought up a good
many exchanged prisoners.
There is very little business doing here
at present.
Gen. Canby's orders for the enroll
ment OF the militia created intense ex-
citement in secession circles, but there
is no escape for them.
Since the firing above Vicksburg upon
the Clara Bell, by which three men were
killed and nine wounded, everything
has been quiet on the Mississippi as far
as heard from.
Several schooners and luggers are re-
ported to be cruising in Lake PontchaH
train, capturing and burning fishing
slOops.
An attack on the defences of Mobile
is daily expected and probab.y has al
ready commenced.
There is no movement in this depart
ment sufficiently advanced to bear men,

The Maryland KaSsf-

BAGTIkoR1s, Aug. 3.
The american learns from gentle.
man who arrived this morning. from the
Upper PotomBc that the entire rebel
force yesterday evacuated the Maryland
side of the Potomac, moving off in great
hast. The rear guard crossed at Shep-
ardstown at II o'cloek yesterday morn
ing, the balance Of the invaders crossed
at Hancock about tine same time. Pre-
viOus 10 leaving, they sent a cavalry
force back to HagerstoWn yesterday
and arrested and carried off four prom
inent Union citizens as hostages for reb-
ell citizens of that town arrested by or
der Of Gen. Hunter.
From the south side of the Potomac
we learn that Early had been moving
up the valley towards Winchester with
his harvest train, during all last week,
and securing the country for conscripts
consequently were making but slow pro-
gress.
The information received here week
since that the rebels would make feint
movement on Maryland merely to cover
his return trains, has been verified to
the fullest extent, and they are now all
moving off towards Staunton. That
they will make their escape, however,
without Interruptions we de not be
lieve.
WASHINGTON, Aug s.
The Star says From gentleman
who arrived here on Saturday from
Hagerstown where he had been living
two weeks past we get some interesting
particulars of the doings of the rebels
in that vicinity. When the rebels took
possession of the town they proceeded
to institute thorough search of all the
stores of the merchants, but they had
not replenished their stock since their
former visit. The rebels got but little,
except small quantity of shoes and
hats. At the grocery stores they filled
their baversacks with sugar and their
canteens with molasses. At one or two
stores they turned the molasses into the
streets. Seeing many citizens were
frightened and anxious to get away the
rebels told them to remain and they
would not be molested. They did not
keep their promise however, and among
other acts of robbery compelled several
gentlemen to take off their boots and
hats and give them up. Jared Ford,
printer of this city, who was in Hagers-
town at the time, had hat taken from
his head while standing on the street.
The rebel sympathisers Jared worse than
Union men. Joseph Winters, a colifec-
tioner, who refused to open his store
had his doors broken in and most of the
fixtures destroyed. Rev. Dabney Ball
at one time pastor of the Wesleyan
Church in this city was with this ma
rauding party.

IL IL not supposed OF course that any
estimate can give the eraei number of
men capable of bearing arms, now re-
naming under rebel control. Concede
that the above estimate may be ten
thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred
thousand, or If you please even more,
wide of the truth yet the indisputable
basis of the census remains, from which
and the known losses of the war, as well
as from the merciless conscriptions that
have taken place South, and other indi-
cations some of which are above refer
red to, 1t is certain LIST, that no sufficient
material can remain out of which any
considerable rebel armies can be raised,
and I'd, that their forces now in the
field are being reduced at such a rate
that, with proper perseverance and ef-
fort on our part, the rebellion must ere
long collapse for want of soldiers to sus-
tain 1T, even If no decisive victory on
our part or submission on theirs inter-
venes to put still earlier end to it,
The situation is such that even reverses
to our arms, If they come, can but tenn
porarily delay the issue. Success is abb
solutely sure, and that at no distant
day, if we but persevere.

la" The Richmond Examiner of the
30th ult., tells the following wholesome
truths, which ought to fsd appreciation
here:
eve of the Confederacy cannot but
look on at this Yankee Presidential cam
paign with the strongest interest. We
have no politics at home, no parties, no
elections worth talking of We have, in
progress on our own account, no Presi-
dental campaign whereby we could
hope to influence either the duration
or the conduct of our sole and absorb
ing public business, the war. And even
if we had such an election in our own
country this same year, it would matter
little; because we have no peace party
here These states could but elect an
other war president, more sternly reso-
Lutte to carry the war right through to
independence or determination, than the
present functionary.n
