New COPPER MINES Several new cop
per mines have been discovered in East
ern Vermont during the past winter, one
of the most promising of which is that
located about one half mile northwest
of Norwich village, upon elevated ground
on the Goodall farm, and called the
Windsor Nine. The openings made
upon the property disclose large veins
of the rich suIphuret of copper-and
give unmistakable evidence of extensive
deposits of that valuable metal.

FANTASTIC IN LINBo.--A Washington
correspondent says
Some months ago negro servant IN
New Orleans was charged by paymaster
II. X. Lawrence of Wisconsin with rob-
bing him of 100000 The negro was
first numerically fiogged and subse-
quently sentenced to hard labor at the
Dry Portugas for life. Facts which
have recently come to the knowledge OF
the War Department fix the guilt upon
Lawrence himself. Secretary Stanton
arrested him at Washington a few days
ago, aud put him in the old capitol
prison. Twenty thousand dollars have
been recovered, and papers were found
on him duplicating New York con-
tractor, Peck. He was also brought to
the old capitol prison to await trial by
a military commission. Orders have
been sent to Tortugas to release the ne

This effort to reinforce the Western
ArpJ Immediately and the gigantic
preparations now making both in the
East and the West, may indicate a
attack in both depart
ments, thing which has not been un-
dertaken and successfully accomplish
cd during the war. The rebels have
always had the advantage of being at
the hub from which they could radiate
and concentrate, while the Federal
Army has been disposed around the
circumference of the wheel. What
ever Temporary success they have gain
ed, or wherever they have successfully
resisted the advance Of our army, it
has been done by drawing troops from
one point and concentrating them rap,
idly at another. 1t is likely that in
the battles now imminent they will
find enough employment at all points
to keep them divided, and enable thu
Government to overthrow and virtual
ly destroy their main armies. What
ever the plan of operations may be
we look forward with considerable con
fidence to decisive results, and tn
most signal success Of our arms.

Thursday, may 18th. The 18th bears
the reputation of being the strongest
COpperhoad District in the State, and
the people anticipate most exciting
and hOtly-contested campaign. The
contest win be close and stubborn, and
the issue will depend to a great extent
upon the personal popularity and pres
tige of the standard bearer. 1t is
therefore important that the people
should look in time for some ono
worthy of the honor and capable of
leading thcm to victory.
Fairfield county will present to the
Convention the name of Colonel JoHE
n. CoSEELL, as n man possessing the
highest qualifications and the most
certain elements Of success. A distin-
guisbed soldier, a popular orator, a
first class lawyer, essentially a man
Of the people, and an unconditional
and unco mpromising Union man,
Col. CoNNELL possesses all the ele-
ments necessary to secure the signal
and triumphant success Of the Union
cause. Besides, COL CoNNELL is per,
sOnally very popular in his own coun.
ty, and as the principal fight will bt
made in this stronghold Of the enemy
his name will perhaps do more thar

intendent, Henry Harris and John
Huber, but as grave charges Of cor
ruption have been made, which, iftrue
would implicate us as being in COM
plicity with said Harris TO deffaud the
county, and as the accusations are not
true justice to ourselves, and duty to
the public demand refutation at our
hands.
And for the correctness of our state
ment we refer such as feel sufficiently
interested to make the examination to
the vouchers on file in the Auditors
office, for the month of June 1859 and
1860. NtFs
The error into which Mr., Huber has
fallen arises from the fact that the
sled item is aggregated iii the pub
lished report OF the Directors with
other charges. This, however, was ex-
planned to the friends of Huber some
time since, and had he desired it, could
have been enlightened by calling on
either of the Directors.
The charge against Harris is, that
he bought a sled of Huber for five dol
lars and turned it over to the county
for $3.50. =
This is not the fact, and to satisfy
the public we submit herewith state
ment of the items which make up the

was compelled to decide that there was
no conflict before he could make the
appointments. This decision and these
appointments he has made, with the
law and also the expressed will of the
electors against him.
If the Auditor felt it his duty to act,
he might have satisfied the require

pointing the persons who were elect

Assessors elected were appointed be-
cause they belonged to the same party

G6r READ the vigorous and charact-
Cristic letter from Major STINcHcoMB
to the Circlevil-e Union, printed else
where. We hope the Convention will
heed the suggestion not to nominate
any "old, worn.out candidate" or
"new convert" for Congress, but take
some fresh and vigorous man who has
been with theUnion organization from
the first In this county we would
prefer some one who has served in the
army and who is personally popular
with the people. We have a large
majority to overcome, and it cannot be
done with an ordinary candidate and
by ordinary means. Nevertheless we
shah cheerfully acquiesce in the dcci
sion of the Convention.
"Let US beat Fnck' is the motto o
the soldiers, says tho Major. They
will not support the man who is oppo

who is afraid to condemn the utteranc,
