committee of ways and means for equal
izng town bounties, and providing for
their ultimate payment by the State,
was discussed at length. Various
amendments were offered and voted
down, and the question being taken by
yeas and nays on passing it to a third
reading, was decided In the affirmative
by very decided vote. This bill au-
thorizes the towns to pay bounties not
exceeding $500 to three years volunteers,
and not exceeding $500 to drafted men
for the same length of time; and in the
payment of State taxes 1t allows the
towns to deduct therefrom the amount
of bounties so paid. There is pros
pect of another fight on the final pas
sage of the bill. Mr.. Nicholson has an
amendment to offer providing that if
the towns pay more than the specified
amount they shall not be allowed the
excess in taxes.
Mr.. Dorr thought this proposition
very remarkable one, for it defeated the
main object of the bill, which was to
equalise the bounties. By the system
which has been in vogue the 240 towns
in Vermont have been thrown into CON-
petition with each other. He alluded to
the town meeting at Rutland, mot soon
to be forgotten by those who attended
it); at time when the surrounding
towns were raising men with bounties
of $500 and $780, this town, which had
a large number of men to raise, voted to
pay $500 bounty, and the result was
that recruiting in the smaller towns was
Immediately stopped. .
A bill has been introduced by Mr..
Barlow for the State to assume the loss
es sustained by the banks of St Adams.
In order that the committee of ways
and means might have ample opportu-
nifty to examine this bill, and also on
account of the reception given to Gen.
Stannard, this evenings session was dis
pensed with. Mr.. Hoyt of St. Albans
related to the committee conversation
which he had with two of the raiders
who were arrested at Stanbridge, 81
and % years old, genteel and well bred,
who repelled the soft Impeachment of
being robbers. They were, to be sure,
confederate soldiers detailed for the ser
vice of burning St. Albans. The rob-
! bing of the banks was mere incident.
| They could not control their men. One
of them requested Mr.. Hoyt to tell the
| hotel keeper in st. Adams that he left
so suddenly that he did not pay his bill,
but that he would pay it when he came
again.
| Mr.. Tracy appears before the commit
tee as counsel for the banks, and the
cashier or cashiers are expected to give
evidence as to the amount that was
lost.
The question of the States paying
these losses is said to be new one in
Vermont, and will probably meet with a
good deal of opposition.
This evening also is the time appoint
ed for the Reunion of the Heroes,
which, in the absence of personal knowl-
edge, may yet be presumed to have been
a success, a good time, and memorable
occasion. ..... .s...

RUTLAND AND CAsTLEToN RAILROAD.
with reference to the Rutland and
Csstleton railroad, Mr. willard addressed
the committee in behalf of the appli-
cants. and Mr.. Woodbridge for the op-
position on Monday evening in the
representatives Hall. This evening
Tuesday, Mr.. Phelps of Burlington,
and Mr.. Peck of Montpelier addressed
the committee in the same place.
Previous to the commencement of Mr..
Phelps argument Mr.. Tracy came for
ward in behalf of the Rutland and Bur-
lington railroad, and remarked that they
desired an eastern and western commu-
munication more than they did nor
thern and southern one. He therefore
presented bill not essentially different
from that of the petitioners-equally
satisfactory to them-less Objectionable
to the R. and B. R. r, and not more so
to the opponents Of the proposed meas
ure. One difference consists in the SUBJ
stitution of different persons as commits
sioners, (Messrs. Prout and Page among
others) and another in giving the new
road the use OF the depots in Castleton
and Rutland on such terms as can be
agreed upon by the parties. Mr.. Wood
bridge remarked that he saw little
more light in this bill than in the other.
If either must pass (Which he prayed
might not be- he preferred Mr.. Tracy's
bill. If he must die, he would prefer this
mode of departure.
Mr.. Park, late from San Francisco,
and understood to be the principal own
er of the Western Vermont, appeared in
behalf of that road only. He addressed
the committee in opposition to the pro
posed charter, and was followed on the
same side by Mr.. Phelps, who appeared
for the Rutland and Washington road
and by Mr.. Peck on the other side.

Gen. Barry, Sherman's chief Of artille-
ry, arrived here yesterday, seriously i'll.
He left Gen. Sherman at Kingston, Ga,
at a. m, on the 10Th. Barry says
Sherman has all the infantry, cavalry
and artillery he wants. The men have
received eight months pay. Their out
fit has been especially adapted to hard
and rapid Winters campaign, and the
Ssorale of the troops is unequaled. Hhe
efficiency and vigor Of Sherman will car
ry the army triumphantly through the
swork it has to do. On Monday night
last, Hoods entire force, including For
rests cavalry, were in the immediate
neighborhood Of Tuscumbia and Flor
ence, Ala, watched by troops under
Thomas, ofsuch strength as will render
an invasion Of Tennessee impossible,
and even the withdrawal of Hood for
service elsewhere, an operation Of ex-
treme delicacy. ~

RUTLAND AND CAsrLEToN RAILROAD
1t will be seen by the proceedings of the

the bill granting charter for a railroad
from Rutland to Castleton has passed
the House, the committee having re-
ported unanimously in its favor. We
understand that it has since also passed
the Senate.

MONTPELIER, Nov. II, 1854.

The House occupied considerable
portion of this forenoon in committee
of the whole on the militia bill. There
Is difference Of opinion with regard to
the necessity or propriety of the States
providing coats and caps for the new
regiments. - "
Mr.. Stewart read an extract from
letter from Mr.. Edmunds of Burlington,
dated at Montreal, to the effect that he
had positive information that arrange
ments and plans were being made in va
rious places for raids into the States.
Vermonters must look out. If we are
prepared for the raiders they win not
come near, for they are in the main as
cowardly as they are cruel. 49,.
The Governor also, in reply to re-
quest from the House, sent a communi-
cation stating that he had good reason
for urging upon the legislature the i'm
portance of making preparation for de-
fence and protection, though he did not
deem it prudent to disclose particulars.
The committee rose just before IL
o'clock, reported progress and asked
leave to sit again.
The bill to equalize taxation was also
debated, the question being on substi-
tuting Mr.. Pratt's amendment. The
difference between the amendment and
the bill is essentially this: that the bill
requires men to make out written
statement of their personal property,
their notes and debts, to be sworn to-
in word, disclosing their whole situa-
ton. The amendment provides that
when person requires deductions to be
made on account Of Indebtedness, he
shall make oath to the amount, and
state to whomhe is indebted; and, in
cases where the creditors live in anoth-
er town, the listers Of that town shall
be informed of the amount thus declared
to be due them.
Mr.. Wheeler Of South Hero is the
father and champion Of the bill. He
has deep gushing sympathy for the
poor farmers, and thinks that the hold
ers Of personal estate are gradually
withdrawing their effects from taxation
In his zeal to make out a case he de-
clared that from actual examination he
had ascertained that the grand list for
THIS year was considerably less than
that OF last year. Whereupon grand
list clerk who happened to be present
produced the books OF last year and this
which showed that the list this wear ex,
ceeds that of last by $4,000.
His "pheelinks" probably underwear,
a slight revulsion. He simply remarked
however, that probably he must hav,
made mistake in adding, and "pro
ceeded to 60 on" as eloquently as ever.
The question lies over for the presel !
This afternoon the bill reported byt
