About Gen. Sherman.
New YORK, Dec. 3.

New York, Dec. 3.
Gold, 1929.
The Richmond Examiner Of the
30th says: Part of Sherman's cay
airy seue in the direction Of the sea
coast struck the railroad between
Savannah and Augusta, and is sale
to have plundered train yesterday
(29th.) 1t was reported that they
were intercepted, part Of them capt
ured and the rest driven back on the
main body, The object Of the move.
ment was to carry information Of
Sherman's position and condition to
his government by way of Beaufort
The Richmond Wing of the 30th
says;
From Southern papers ofthe 25th
we CLEAN little news which it is
prudent to publish.
The Augusta Constituencies is
in high spirits.
The Richmond Sentinel urges the
people to throw themselves upon
Sherman with a courage that will dc
themselves honor. There is a capita
difference between his situation and
that of Hoods He is in an enemy
country, while Hood is amone
friends.
The Richmond Wing, after stating
that it is strictly prohibited from pub
fishing information concerning Gen
Sherman, says; From all we car
see, either in New York papers OIL
those of the South, we are clearly Of
the opinion that Sherman is making
as fast as he can for Beaufort and
that his Interior design is to unite
his forces with those of Gen. Grant
in his enterprise against this city.
1t is impossible to say whether
our forces will be able to stop him
We do not fear that he will take
either Savannah, Charleston or Au-
gusta.
If he takes even Macon, it would
be more than we believe he can do
nor do we think he can do any per.
manent injury to our communications
or that his present object is to at
tempt it. We rather believe that
he will strain every nerve to reach
Beaufort. He will probably destroy
the railroad between Savannah and
Charleston, as effectualiyas possible,
but it can soon be restored.
The Wing then proceeds to rake
JEFF. Davis for sending Hood into
Tennessee.

e7s- The Remarkable Properties Of
Browns Bronchial Troches have been
thoroughly tested since first introduced.
Tie demand for them has steadily ip-
creased, and purely upon their own mer'
its,they have found favor with those, who
from Pulmonary, Bronchial, or Astbmat-
ic complaints require them. For
Coughs, Colds Bronchitis, Asthma, sno
Influenza, they are entirely eficaciou''
removing all distractions, and increasing
at once the power and 6exibility OF the

THE OLD FOLKS CoNcERT.-The
Old Folks Concert at Barton Landing
on Tuesday evening Of last week, was as
we'll attended as the bad state of the
weather would admit Of. The novel ap.
pearance of the singers in ancient cos
tune tended TO remind one of days that
are past, when crinolne was among the
things that were not and man possessed
not only love Of country, but love OF
God. The dust was fairly shaken from
"Heavenly Vision" "Odc on Science"
and other selections of this class also
various modern songs were introduced
during the evening. The voices were
well sustained with instrumental music
by II. E. Miller, leader, c. r. Daley and
Miss Jennie Mussey.
After the concert there was a good at
tendance at the oyster supper at the
house OF Mr.. A. G. Parker, where all
had coed time generally, at the conclu
sion of which vote of thanks was tens
dered to the ladies of Barton Landing
for the bountiful supply of edbles fur
nished by them, 10 connection with the
oysters so well served up by Mr.. D. Ro
gers, for the occasion.

ARREST AND SUICIDE.-A rough
looking individual was arrested on
Sunday, near Ferrisburgh, for putting
Instructions on the track of the Rut-
land and Burlington Railroad. He
was taken to Middlebury and lodged
in Jail, and there put an end to his
operations, and himself out Of the
world, by a selfimposed hanging
He was seen in Middlebury Saturday
and exhibited symptoms of insanity.
He also appeared to be insane when
lodged in the Middlebury jail. He
gave his name as Francis OHarane ;
said he was from Canada ; that he was
one of the st. Adams raiders; that
he caused the railroad accident of
Thursday morning between Plttsford
and Brandon, and that he was acting
under Confederate authority" No
papers were found upon him. 1t is
generally believed that he was crazy.
Forty ONE BATTLEs.-T h e 1st
regiment U. S Sharpshooters (part-
" made up of Vermont soldiers, has
been engaged in forty-one different
battles and skirmishes. Thirty-seven
of these are inscribed on their battle
flag.
Town B0UNTIEs. A HEAVY BILL
The select committee Of the House
on town bounties, reported that the
aggregate amount Of money which
has been raised and expended by the
several towns in Vermont in bounties
for volunteers, is nearly t0ar millions
of dollars ($3,S76,19l,33). 1t is a
matter Of regret that some measures
for equaliling bounties and prevent
ing for the future the bidding Of towns
against each other, which has run up
bounties to such height, should not
have been passed by the Legislature.
The bill for that purpose failed
through irreconcilable disagreement
between the two houses.
STATE PAY OF VERMONT SOLDIERS.
The Inspector of Finance reports
the following sum paid to each Regi-
ment for the extra pay Of seven dol
lars per month for the past year.

S5l,55O

The people of the whole county I'M
doubtedly hold 100000, perhaps $780,.
900 Of these notes. If the state through
out has done as well, Vermont has taken
full her proportion of the whole amount
of the notes proposed to be issued, taxing
wealth or population as the basis of cal
culation.

THIEvING.-Some scamp went into

FRoM Our PRIsoNERs.-A note re-
ceived from Samuel Mackey of Co.
A, 18th VT, gives the grateful intelli-
gence that he is exchanged but he
writes not a word about the other
four hundred Vermont boys who
were taken prisoners at the same time
only that the hardships and sufferings
that they have endured are beyond
his power to describe. He says
very many have died, he thinks the
most of Co. A have been released
from suffering by death. He wasex-
changed being quite i'll of scurvy.-
The well prisoners are not exchang-
ed. Mackey was taken prisoner, to-
gether with about sixty others of Co.

while guarding the Weldon railroad.
