NEW YoRK, Oct. 2S.-Gen. Dix has issued
an order stating that satisfactory information
had reached him that rebel agents In Canada
design sending into the United States large
numbers of refugees and deserters, enemies OF
the Government, to vote at the Presidential
election.
1t is not unlikely they will subsequently be
organized to shoot respectable citizens and
plunder public property. He says that such
persons are liable TO punishment, and that no
effort will be spared TO arrest them. All pro-
Vost marshRls and deputies are charged TO de-
tect such persons, and Electors are recon-
mended TO take measures for their own secu-
rity and aid the authorities in bringing such
rebel emissarlts to punishment.
Effective measures will be taken to prevent
return into Canada. All persons from the
rebel States are required tJ report to the mill.

THr TEMPERANCE MovEMENr.-The
Rutland Herald OF late date says
that the recent efforts made in
that village for the enforcement Of the
prohibitory liquor law, have resulted
in the closing up of the principal hq-
nor selling shops, AND the general
stoppage OF drum selling in the 9TH
ers. A case of drunkenness is rarity.
We learn also that in Montpelier and
Burlington and other towns IN the
State. the leading and influential citi-
zens have taken hold of the matter in
earnest, determined, rs far as possible,
to put u stop to the Illegal sale of ar
dent spirits.
In this village we have had liquor
selling and lquor-drinking to such an
extent that we have won an nnenvia-
BILE distinction in that line. Our au-
thcrities. ii is true, have been on the
alert, and have done something to-
wards the suppression of the sale of
liquor by the prosecution of such cases
as have come to their notice. How
over faithfully they may discharge
their duty in this respect, that alone
will not cure the evil. Efiectually to
abate the nuisance there must be
united and earnest effort of the lead
ing influential citizens of the place.
/ And it would seem that there are rea-
sons and motives enough to prompt
them TO such IN, action. Is it not
enough to point to those who have gone
TO unhonored graves in consequence OF
incompetence? Is it not enough to
refer to the scenes of drunkenness that
we had i'll our streets, and the noise
and disturbances that have arisen
therefrom Is it not enough that one
wretched man should lose his life IN
the lookup III consequence OF the hq-
uor that he drank? Shall more VIC
TINS be sacrificed? More lives lost q?
Shall this beautiful village be longer
desecrated by the demon of intempef-
ance? Shall we continue to bear the
reproach which is cast upon us on ac-
count of this alarming evil? Is 1t not
time that our ministers of the Gospel,
whose duty it is to preach temper
ance' as well as Judgment to come );
and our physicians, whose office 1t is
to care for the health of the people,
and our lawyers, who should labor
for obedience to the laws, and our
merchants and mechanics who desire
the prosperity and value the good
name of the village, is itnot time for all
these to unite as one man is concerted,
and earnest and persistent efforts to
rid this place of the curse, the misery,
and the reproach of rum-selling and
rum-drinking? Is there not pride
enough among us for the reputation
of our village to stir us to action Is
not the desire of our business men for
prosperity of the place sufficient to in
duce them to act in concert is not
the love of good morals among our
preachers and religious men strong
enough 10 move them to ssnd concen-
trate their energies to save us from the
sin and shame of the drinking and
selling of that which bring misery and
ruin? But we have said enough. We
will say no more now. We could not
say less and do our duty ms the con-
duetor of a public Journal Vermont
