Letter ON Extravagance.

A letter of franklin to his daughter,
written in 1871, rebuking her expressed
desire for French fnery," might furnish
a good text for our present Importation
leagues:
When l began to read your account of
the high prices of goods-"a pair of
gloves seven dollars, yard of common
gauze twenty-four dollars, and that it is
now required a fortune to maintain
family in a very plain way" I ex-
pected you would conclude by telling
me that everybody, as well as yourself
was grown frugal and Industrious;
and l could scarcely believe my eyes,
in reading forward, that "there never
was so much pleasure and dressing going
on" and that you yourself wanted back
pins and feathers from France, to appear,
I suppose in the mode! This leads me
to imagine that, perhaps, it is not so much
that the goods are grown dear as that the
money has grown cheap, as everything else
will do when excessively plenty, ard that
people are still as easy, nearly, in their cir
olmstances as when pair of gloves might
be had for half crown. The war, indeed,
may in some degree raise the prices of
goods, and the high taxes which are nee
essary to support the war may make our
frugality necessary; and, as I am always
preaching that doctrine, cannot in con-
science or in decency encourage the con-
trary, by my example, in furnishing my
children with foolish modes and luxuries.
I therefore send all the articles you desire
that are useful and necessary, and omit the
rest; for, as you say you should shave
great pride in wearing anything 1 send, and
it as your fathers taste, must
avoid giving you an opportunity OF doing
that with either lace or feathers. If you
wear your cambria ruffles as do, and take
care not to mend the holes, they will come
in time to be lace; and feathers, my dear
girl, may be had in America from every
cocks tail.

Vermont Election.
UIion Gains from Last Year.

MooTpELIRE, Sept. $50, P. NJ.
The annual election of State officers
took place to day
The Gubernatorial candidates were the
same as last year. Gov. Smith being run
by the Republicans and Unionists, and
Timothy L. Redlield by the Democrats.
The vote is light, though somewhat larg-
er than last year. Only partial returns are
received, yet enough is known to indicate
the election of the Union candidates by
considerably larger majorities than last
year
We have the representative vote from 40
toWns--all MON men but two.
The vote for Gov. is about one-seventll
of the State as follows: Smith, Union.
5935; Rcdiield, Democrat, 1915. Last
year Smith i654. Redfield, l55l. A cor
responding increase throughout the State
will swell Smiths majority to 5000 more
than it was last year Three Union Re
publican Congressman are elected by in
creased majorities, and probably all the
Union nominees for County senators and
other County officers.
The Union men of the State are jubilaut
over their achievements to day.

But the public ought not to suppose that
a body Of men made up of ,ioicm ptacc

real Quaker kind. then they could not fight
on principle, but the half and half war

i" Hancock

We publish a communication under the
Signature of Hancock" commenting
rather freely upon the treatment mcted
out to General Fremont, The writer is
quite an aged gentleman Of much reading
and observation, aud has no earthly mo-
tive for dissenting from the conduct of the
Administration, except that he thinks it
wrong in this particular. If we did not
know that "IIaucoet' is above suspicion
we should hesitate to publish his commu-
nicatiou, even if we think precisely as he
docs. We must all lay aside our private
feelings a: time Ike this, and do our
best to rc-cleet Abraham Lincoln. He
may not have been a perfect man,-he
NAV not have the best of advisers. but he
intends to save the nation from the trcach
cry Of rebels and Heaven helping U.S.
we must pardon some things and overlook
more. remembering all the while that we
may be the ones that do not judge correct
ly,-and 70 to work and do all we can to
rc-ccct Abraham Lincoln. Votes given
for General Fremont will do him, nor the
cause any good.
We cannot refrain from saving, that we
are often reminded of tine old saw, when
hearing General Fremont tradnced by
former friends, that it is "a dirty bird that
fouls it. own nest"

Notice.,

BY the order Of the Navy Department
only fifteen per cent of landsmen will be
enlisted after this date; that is fifteen
landsmen to every eighty-five seamen and
ordinary eanlen, AS most of the men
whe ar, down on tie Sabine's books for
entry during the coming two months, are
landsnen, they are hereby informed that
it will not be possible 10 enlist them all.
except as above, Information is again
given to all agents enlisting for the navy
or to persons DESTROYS of enlisting in the
navy, that it is needless for them to pay
any money to any one, ashore or afloat, to
help them through this vessel. Most ex-
act justice and impartiality will be shown
to all, aud any one on shore or elsewhere,
who offers to get men through this vessel
out OF their turns, does so without author
ity and has no chance of success. All ad.
yertisements or piacardz, ia regard to the
Sabine. not stoned by me are unauti,oriz
ed, and any man paying money to such
advertiser. does so at his own risk. The
State Of Maine has appointed clerks to
make out State papers. who will be found
on board the Sabine from A. NJ. until 5
P. NJ.
Papers throughout the State please

thoroughly. There was an entire absence of
anything bordering on clap-trap, or of

be paid to an audience, than TO leave such
to those who succeed in efforts Of the kind,
and to aim to convince by Argument
There are no political addresses that in the
end do SO much good, as those of intcll-
