who, while contending equally agains

have planned serious revolt in case
Mr.. Lincoln Is reelected. Mr.. Holt con-
cludes his review of these extraordinary |
developments with these reflections.
"In the presence Of the rebellion and
this secret order-which is but its ,
echo and faithful ally-we cannot but
be amazed at the utter and widespread |
profilgacy, personal and political, which
these movements against the govern
ment disclose, The guilty men engag-
ed in them, after casting aside their
allegiance, seem TO have trodden under
foot every sentiment of honor and every
restraint of law, human and divine.
Judea produced but one Judas lscariot,
and Rome, from the sinks of her demon
alization, produced but one Catalina,
and yet, as events prove, there has arisen
together in our land an entire brood of
| such traitors, all animated by the same
| paricidal spirit, and all struggling
| with the same relentless malignity for
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF our Union. or
this extraordinary phenomenon-not
paralleled it is believed, in the worlds
history-thefe can b. but one explana-
ton, and all these blackened and fetid
streams of crime may well be traced to
the same common fountain. So fercely
intolerant and imperious was the tenn
per engendered by slavery, that when
the southern people, after having con-
trolled the national councils for half a
century, were beaten at an election,
their leaders turned upon the govern
ment with the insolent fury with which
they would have drawn their revolvers
on rebellious slave in one OF their ne
gro quarters; and they have continued
since to prosecute their warfare, amid
all the barbarisms and atrocities natu-
rally and necessarily inspired by the in
fernal institution in whose interests
they are sacrificing alike themselves and
their country. Many of these conspira-
tors, as is well known We're fed, cloth
ed and educated at the expense of the
nation, and were loaded with its honorS
at the very moment they struck at its
life with the horrible criminality of 6
sen stabhing the bosom of his owl
mother, while impressing kisses on he
cheeks The leaders of the traitors IL

whose Vaccinations are now unmasked

tration to prosecute and punish, as it i
its duty to subjugate the rebels Wit

it is entitled TO expect, and will doubt

Preservation of the Fish.

Editor Rutland Herald Please excuse
me for troubling you again but it oc-
ours to me that now that our legisla-
ture is in session, we might get the
fishing law amended, If the citizens Of
the state will take it in hand. Will you
submit the lenclosed petition and form
of amendment to the people who are in
terested, through the medium Of your
paper:
To- Representative to the Leg
islature of Vermont now in session, from
-: Sir, westhe undersigned do res
pectfully request you to use your utmost
efforts to secure the following or some
similar amendment to the fishing law
to be passed at this session of the legis-
lature;
Chap. l03, section 9, General Statues.
"Any person or persons who shall take,
kill or destroy, or cause any other per-
son to take, kill or destroy any trout,
0swego bass, pickerel or muskelonge in
any lake, pond or stream of water in
this state, in any other way or by any
means than hook and line at any sea-
son of the year; and any person or per
sons who shall take or cause to be taken
any trout by any method between the
lst day of September and the LIST day of
December of any year, and any person
or persons who shall take or cause to be
taken by line set through holes cut
in the ice, during she winter, any Of the
aforesaid fish, shall l,Crfeit and pay to
the treasury Of the state, the sum OF
one dollar for each and even hsh SO
caught, killed or destroyed, one h. If the
fine to be paid to the state, the OF er
half to be paid to the informant to be
recovered in prosecution in behalf of
the state, founded upon this chapter to-
gether with the costs of each suit And
if the defendant agaist such prosecu-
ton shall be unable or unwilling to pay
the said fine and costs then he shall be
imprisoned in the county Jail, at the
cost of the state, for the first offence for
not less than ten and not more than thir-
ty days; for the second offence net less
than thirty and not more than ninety
days; and for the third and every sub
sequent offence, not less than ninety and
not more than one hundred and twenty
days, at the discretion of the court"
Some such law as this will bring the
evil to an immediate close. Those who
have the money will not risk the fine
and costs, and those who have not will
not risk going to Jail for the profit they
can get in Illicit fishing. If the fine and
costs are credited and charged the state
the selectmen of the respective towns
where the wrong is pra cticed cannot lie,
the nom paying dlinquent out of Jail lest
his confinement may be cost to the
town. .
+ Within a few years after the passage
and enforcement Of such law, fishing
with hook and line would become again
a pleasure and profit to the citizens o
the state. / am yours respectfully,
ROBERT MORRIS COPELAND.

Western Vermont Musical Conven.
tiOn.

At the request of many Of the citizens
OF Wallingford, the Fourteenth Conven-
ton Of the Western Vt Musical Asso-
citation was held in that village, COM
mencing Oct. 18th, and continuing four
days, closing on Friday evening, Oct.
14th, with grand public concert.
The musical exercises of the conven-
ton were conducted by B. +. Baker Of
Boston, assisted by Mrs. Minnie Little.
The convention was called to order at 2
O'Clock P. M, Oct. 18th, by DIR. V. Ross
of Brandon, president of the association.
DIR. Ross entertained the members of the
association for few moments with some
very appropriate remarks upon the sub
ject for which they had assembled, after
which Mr.. Baker took charge OF the
convention and entered at once with
seemingly more than usual energy upon
the discharge of his duties He present
ed from time to time many excellent
suggestions upon the nature OF style
and expression in music, and dwelt at
length upon the necessity Of distinct ut
terance and correct pronunciation, and
upon the proper management OF the
voice in securing purity and Ife-like
quality of tone, He insisted that music
should be rendered with clear and in
telligent understanding of its nature
and meaning, and that living thought
should accompany the rendering of all
music. l1
Mr.. Moore of Burlington, and Miss
Howard of Rutland. presided at the
piano.

an appreclative audience but smaller
one than it should have been. Under
this disadvantage of small audience,
Miss W. sustained herself finely, and
justified all that has been said OF her
prepossessing appearance, excellent cul

ing was good, her recitation Of Barbara

and hardly to be surpassed Miss Win

tanning a very prominent position in her
difficult profession.

Hon. EDWIN N. STANTON,
WAR DEPARTMENT.

Washington City, Sept. IA, 1864.
SIR In reply to your note of this
date, in respect to furnishing arms and
accoutrements for the Militia of your
State, / have the honor to inform you
that, in the event of the Vermont LegiS-
lature passing law for the organization
Of the militia of that State this Depart
ment will on your requisition furnish
Immediately fifteen thousand stand OF
arms with accoutrements complete, the
arms to be the first quality of Spling-
field rifled muskets. The necessary sup
plies of ordnance stores will also be fur
nished.
If it will not be deemed improper,
beg leave to say that in my view it is
the duty Of every State to organize and
arm it's militia promptly, and by suitable
drill and instruction prepare them for
their duty as soldiers, to protect their
homes and maintain the Government of
their choice. Until the present rebellion
was of those who hoped there could be
war no more, and that mankind had be-
come wise enough under our government
to live at peace. But when l saw the
Shareholders Of the South and the cor
rupt politicians of the North plotting
together to overthrow the government
of the United States, and establish for
themselves perpetual dominion, North
and South, my mistake was revealed,
and the full force of the maxim, that
eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty,
came home to me. | am now in favor
of arming every free man. but arms
without organization is of little account.
am therefore, in favor of organizing
freemen as soldiers, and when this is
done, rebels and traitors will not be apt
TO repeat their crimes. The Militia of
every State should be organized, trained
and instructed in the use of arms, if they
wish to live in peace.
Yours truly,
t EDWIN VI. STANTON,
Sec'y of War.

LossBs OF LEES ARMY BY DISCRETION.
The correspondent of the new FORK
herald with Gen. Buffers column says
Tie loyalty of the new levies swept into
Lees ranks by the indiscriminate con-
scription of the Richmond traitors Is of
NE loosest possible description
nBut one idea seems to animate them,
and that is to get inside of our lines as
soon as possible. The bounty jumpers
who desert from us, if they are in other
respects worthless, at least do US this
much goOd--they advise every man in
the ranks of the enemy with whom they
come in contact to desert to us, assuring
them that they will be well treated, and
will be able to obtain what is to them
fabulous wages in the North. 1t may
be safely estimated that every bounty
lmper who leaves us induces at least
one rebel soldier to come over.
The numbers opposed to us are rapid
IL and surely decreasing. In spite OF ey-
ery precaution, and the most excessive
and barbarous punishments inflicted on
those detected in the act of deserving,
this cause alone is seriously thinning
ont the enemy. Desertion from them is
largely on the increase. Combined with
this, the excessive fatigue in marching
and digging, on the usual short rations
they supply their men, is filing up theil
hospitals and depicting their ranks daily
II no further fighting took place thif
fall and winter, tn ese causes, now silent
~ at work, would scarcely leave the
Confederacy an army to open the spring
campaign.
The rebel General is constantly on The
move. He evidently feels that the crisif
is at length at hand, and the last ditcf
soon to be reached. We hear of him al
over. To-day he may make his appear
