Mr.. Oramer, Of the Milwaukee Wis.

Beauregsrd, at New Orleans, in CON-
pany with . gentleman Of extensive &C.
qusiutance in New Orleans. and Of in
tense Southern sympathies, who poin-
ted out the notabilities. Mr.C. writes:
When the coffin was placed on the
magnificent funeral ear, the procession
was formed Of women. It wss q mile
Ione.-nct carriage was allowed, and
the first ladies Of New Orleans walked
in the procession. NV friend said that
they were tie very elite Of the city
dressed with elegance, but mostly in
yestures Of mourning. There were
some gay dresses cmong the eleven
hundred women, who followed the re-
mains to the boat. There was scarcely
. man in the procession-thcre were
many present but they walked apart.
I noticed in the procession tue British
and French officers Of the two war ships
in the stream. They were sandwiched
among tho women. To, me it was an
interesting sight to witness procession
eomposeAo Of ladies only, and all Of the
best society. As my friend was known
70 be IN intense rebel, I was consider
el the same, and 90. when I passed
through the throng, I was as it were,
kindly greeted. had thus a better
opportunity to see the old residents Of
New Orleans than if ! had attended
twenty parties or twenty operas. ,y

SCALES OF LOYALTY.
In 1861, the 'secesh' said that Abra-
ham Lincoln and his party intended tc
destroy the institution Of slavery in the
States. Lincoln and his party denied
1t and gave the most emphatic assursa'
ces that the charge was false. Indeed,
it was evidence Of fdisloyalty in Kentuc'
Ky TO male su,h charge. -rq +
. The friends ofthe Union, in the press
AMI IN the stump, d;scredited the chargs
aud showed that the President and his
party denied it. ..a. ...e .ar@
In this way the contest went on in
ali parts OF Kentucky-the friends Of
the Union defending the President and
his party from this charge. 1t was
clear proof that man WAS rebe! ifhe
proclaimed and undertook 10 shcw that
the war would bc ore on slavery.
Now how is it? Honest Old Abra :.
ham has proved that what the rebels
said was true, and that what the friends
Of the Uaion said was false lie has
given the lie to what tho friends Of the
government sail and confirmed what
his enemies said. He cannot escape

"DEspoTIo PsovosT." - Under this
heading the Burlington Times of
Wednesday contained singular story
concerning the experience of one Mr.
Walker of Burlington, while on visit
to this place in the capacity of a substi-
tute broker. The Times article en-
braces an assault upon Capt. Crane,
provost marshal of this district, upon
Mr.. N. p. Slmonds of this village and
upon the selectmen of this town. We
believe these are all. Now regarding
the facts of Capt. Cranes treatment of
Mr. Walker, we have no more personal
knowledge than had the Times itself,
but are entirely satisfied from such in
formation as we have been able to gath
er from authentic sources, since the ap-
pearance of the Times article, that the
truthful version of the affair is entirely
at variance from the one given by that
paper. 1t is sufficient to say now that Mr.
Walker was acting at the time as sub
stitute broker; that we are credibly in
formed it is not the first time by any
means he has acted in that capacity (;
that though he has other business in
Burlington, he is ready to attend to this
whenever opportunity occurs, and that
Capt. Cranes course towards him, en-
tirely misrepresented in the Times, is
approved by all, so far as we know OF
have heard, who are conversant with
the facts. Capt. Crane is officially and
positively instructed, as we understand
it, to have nothing to do with substi-
tute brokers, further than to see that
the substitutes brought to his Office are
not defrauded by those dismterested indi-
viduais. He, at least, fearlessly dis
charges his duty in the premises, as we
have every reason to believe, and his
zeal against the substitute brokerage
business, which as carried on generally
is simply internal, is commendable.
So far as the selectmen and Mr.. 81.
monds are concerned, the charges do moi
come in connection to entitle them to
credit, and we have no doubt they are
entirely without foundation. Mr.. Walk.
er may be very prominent man of Bur.
lington, but he is hardly competent tc
the task of blackening the characters o
all the officers, civil and military, be
longing to or residing in Rutland. ANT
the Times should not be led astray b.
him.

Circular from Adit. Gen. washburn,
STATE OF VERMONT,


ADJUTANr AND Inspector GENKRAL's oFHoE,
WOODSTOCK, Aug, lS, 1864,
The reports from the recruiting agents
from this Safe in Southern States are
very unfavorable, and indicate, that but
few recruits will be obtained from that
source. But two enlistments have yet
been reported although the reports
show that the agents have worked faith
fully aud laboriously to secure better
results. The towns cannot rely, with
any safety, upon obtaining aid from that
source towards avoiding draft but
must exert their utmost efforts in filling
their whole quotas at home. The re-
ports from the several superintendents
of recruiting within the State show
clearly, that the best recruiting ground
for any town is its own territory. And
whenever selsctmen have realized this,
and are acting faithfully in the effort to
I fill their quota from their own citizens,
the results are most encouraging The
indications now are, that no town will
be drafted, where the selectmen have ap-
pealed earnestly to their own townsmen,
and are striving in good faith to fill
their quota from that source. With the
large credit which the State had to-
wards its quota under the present call,
there should be no draft in any town
and the reports Of superintendents show
clearly, that there need be none, if the
selectmeu will devote their whole ener-
gy to the performance of their duty as
recruiting officers.
The declaration printed on the back of
enlistment contracts must is al cases be
filed out by the recruiting officer and
signed by the recruit. The attention OF
selectmen is particularly directed to this
| requirement.
1t is of no avail to enlist boys under
eighteen, or men over forty-fve years of
age. They will be rejected, if the true
! age is discovered, And if the discovery
is not made until after the recruit has
been mustered and sent forward, there
is still liability that the recruit will be
sent home and the town credit can
celled.
Communication certificates are to be
executed in duplicate, not in trlp!icats.
By order of the Governor.
