Vattel on Neutrality.

The following extract from this celebrated
writer on International Law will be read with
some interest at this time by our people IS
well as Queen Victoria's subjects on tie
other side OF the line. No doubt the Cana
dian government will do all it can to prevent
southern rebels from making Canada base of
war operations against the United States, al
though some Canadians may secretly rejoice
over rebel raids into our territory. But such
prejudiced souls deeply tinctured with the
spirit of Old Toryism, we are happy to believe,
do not control Canadian affairs. The Cana
dams must be, with few exceptions, opposed
to making their territory the theatre of war;
COZ uaIury wouId De, II they permitted
southern rebels who are fighting against our
government to remain on their soil and make
it base of warlike operations against us. If
they do permit such rebel demonstration,
and 90 not order such rascals from their
country, our right will be clear to enter
Canada in pursuit of them. We trust and be-
lieve the Government of Canada will not thus
make their soil camping ground for rebels and
traitors and their country open to all COM
ers."
ION the other hand, it is certain that if my
neighbor affords retreat to my enemies when
defeated and too much weakened to escape
me, and allow them time to recover, and
watch favorable opportunity of making /.
second attack on my territories, this conduct,
so prejudicial to my interests, wonld be in
compatible with neutrality. If therefore, my
enemies, on suffering a. discontinue, retreat
into his country, although charity will not al
low him to refuse them permission to pass in
security, he is bound to make them continue
their march beyond his frontiers as soon as
possible, and not suffer them to remain in his
territories on the watch for convenient op-
portunity to attack the enemy; otherwise he
gives me right to enter his country in pur-
suit of them. Such treatment is often expe-
rienced by nations that are unable to com
mand respect. Their territory soon becomes
the theatre of war; armies march, encamp
and fight in it, as in a country open to all
comers." f 0a sUf~

| Memoirs OF LIEUT-G ScoTT, L. D., written
by himself. In two volumes. 12mo, PIP. 9S4.
New York: Sheldon & Co., 1864. N
The name Of WINFIELD ScoTT is as familiar as
household words to every American. His his
tory is to large extent the history of his coun-
try; at any rate. it cannot be separated from it
without leaving a void which no other individual
history can fill. The volumes before us are
printed on good paper, put up in good style,
embellished with two steel-plate likenesses of
the General-taken at different ages and the
price-very low at these times is "a for the
set No patriot can afford to be without them;
no student of American history will be without
them.
Gen. Scott has been engaged since his retire.
ment from active military life, in preparing
these volumes. No man could do it SO well, or
in fact, at all; for much Of the material was gar
nered up in the storehouse of his own unimpair-
ed memory, from which no other person could
draw it. Few men have, while living, attained
so wide popularity, and been so firmly en-
shrined in the hearts of all their countrymen,
without distinction of party, as General
Scott. e0s e,a. IS sas ssss9
Gen. Scott was born June 10, 1856, in Vir-
ginia, about fourteen miles from Petersburg
He is now, therefore, in his 10th year, full of
honors, and respected and remembered with
affection by grateful nation. Referring to
him the Evening Post very justly says:
1t is difficult to feel that one whom we see
among us to-day, and whom we have been wont
to consider one of our contemporaries, was
really living, and most prominent actor in
the early days of the republic. General Scott
was a distinguished and successful general
(holding major generals commission) at the
early age of twenty eight, while most of the
leading men of the revolution were still in active
life; and, of course, Scott's position as the hero
Of the war of 1912, threw him into intimate re-
lations with those revolutionary fathers; and
now, in our days of adversely, like q voice from
the tombs, comes to us, transmitted through
this great hero, the sdmonitions and example of
those who laid the foundations Of this great re-
public, and cemented them with their blood
1t is difficult to conceive of Memoir-an
Autobiography--of more thrilling interest, or
which the youth Of America can study with more
profit. slissBs

SLAVERY IN MARYLAND.-A Baltimore
correspondent of the New York Post saws
Gen. Wallace's order for the protection OF
the freedmen is working wonders. In several
of the eastern shore counties, where the ha-
tiers of the negro freedom had seized upon
the freed children and youths, and got them
bound out to them under the vagrant act by
the rebel sympathizing Orphans Courts, the
new masters have come forward, brought
.neir intended victims into court. and had the
inoentures cancelled. In one case at Charles
Town. a notorious rebel seized upon two Young
'nen ABOUT the age of eighteen each, forced
tnenl in'o Inc Orphans Court, got them
oounu out 10 him, and before the ink was
dry upon tne lndentures, he hired one Of them
out for $3.50, and the other for 800 year.

The Ninth Maine Regiment.
SIX MILES FROM RICHMOND, /
Nov. 9. 1854.

Nov. 9. 1884.
To the Editor Of the Press: T.
The result of the election in this regiment
yesterday, was as follows: Lincoln 293. Nc
Clellan On. The effieor1- having the manage
ment of the polling labored indefatigably in
the preparation of the lists, and found the
machinery Of the new law somewhat cum
brous. The 9th is the largest regiment in
this Corps. All the other regiments had I'm
ished voting early in the afternoon. At 2
o'clock, while the voting in our regiment was
In progress, Col. Bell, Of the 4th NH, COM
manding the Brigade, issued orders for brig
ade drill. Col. Granger protesteda against the
order, urging that it would be impossible to
get through with taking the vote of the regi-
ment If they now abandoned the ballot-box
for drill. Col. Bell declined to pay any atten-
ton to the remonstrance and the regiment
had to go on drill. Had the law been so
framed as to require the voting to take place
between sunrise and sunset, this freak of Col
Bell would have DISTINGUISHED the regiment,
and our majority for the Union ticket reduced
by nearly $50 votes. There was no absolute
necessity for the drill, and much indignation
was felt and expresshd at the conduct of the
brigade commander, who may find himself the
subject of censure from the General COM
handing this Department. In the evening
the voting was resumed and finished up at
midnight. All the recent conscripts In the
regiment voted for Mcclellan under the i'm
preston that his election would stop the
war" The veterans of the regiment, officers
and soldiers, went in 3 solid phalanx for "Old
Abe and Andy" Several companies voted
the same ticket entire. One soldier who vot-
ed for the ''little" candidate, on assertaining
that all the rest of his company had voted
Union, felt ashamed of what he had done and
wanted to withdraw his ballot When the
result of the vote was announced to the reg
iment this morning, they gave three rousing
cheers for sold Abe, the choice OF the soldier
and the choice of the nation. J.S.H.

says:
.or,e IN hand by telegraph from the several
States. IL is probable that Abraham Lincoln
has been reelected President. It cannot be
said that Mr.. Lincoln will be President vi the
United States, since by his unconstitutional
and unstatesmanlike policy he has sown tne
seeds of disunion, and aided the rebels IN tnela
secession schemes, until the States OF cur one
glorious Republic are hopelessly disuni1eu anu

NJ Lincoln has sown the seeds of disunion,
h.a hoo This is the usual copperhead style

Mr.. Lincoln was inaugurated his first act was

having Democratic Cabinet to advise him, a
Democratic Congress to back him and Dem
ocratic Supreme Court to endorse him, be-
queathed to Mr.. Lincoln legacy which, as an
honest Executive officer, he could not blink
out of sight, or refuse to receive. And what
was this legacy? We answer. 1t was,
1. A divided country.
2. Eight states formally seeded and SET
up on their own hook.
8. A rival empire established, and in full
blast within the very jurisdiction in which he
was sworn to uphold the constitution and law
of the and. aaaia
4. JEFF Davis and Alexander q. Stephen

sway over a portion of the country he wa

has created considerable talk. We think that
the man who wrote the letter must have been
crazy, for he did not make a statement that
was true. He said that on the 9Th of Novem-
Der we should show our friends at home that
there is something In our battery besides Lin
coln men. II there were any other ones they
did not show themselves, for every man voted
for Lincoln. Not Mcclellan vote was
thrown, yet there were plenty Of them here,
SO that If any man wanted to vote for Nc
Clellan he had no excuse for not doing So
