The two foundations upon which the
Confederacy rears the chances or proba-

simply the hoped for defeat Of Grant,

as much, il, indeed, not more, bravado
and "chilvalrous' audaciousness against
the Yankees is found than anywhere
else, has its entire future locked up in
these two points, either of which is Just
about as improbable as that the sun will
commence to revolve around the earth.
Surely, cause which hangs on SO slen-

from perfect ruin, and the blackness Of
despair. Gen. Grant will see to it that
the first Of these solacing hopes is turn
ed into the bitterness Of gall when he
moves on with leglons, and as to Presi-

A Temperance Revival.

There seems TO be quite revolution
going on in the state in reference to TEN
perance. Those men who make any pre-
tensions to temperance principles at al
are bestirring themselves in the work ant
taking measures to restrict the sale o.
liquors in their immediate locality. The
prohibitory law of this state which has
been so nearly dead letter for many
years is now being enforced over nearly
the whole state. In the larger towns
particularly, where the evil il the most
fragrant and unblushing where the rum,
nv is seen in all bis hideous deformites,
the law is being enforced with a rigidity
that is anything but pleasing to bin, and
the indications of temperance revival
are bright and cheering. We hope they
may not prove delusive.
While many towns have dlne nobly in
their efforts to execute the law, Montpe-
iier has excellcd them all. The state
capital has of late made a gigantic stride
in the right direction. A temperance
league--compos Of the best and most
influential citizens of the town--has been
formed, which is pledged to take every
means to stop the traffic and rid the town
o. that great curse. Acting upon this
pledge committee visited the groceries
of the place in cumberland
in a very gentIemanly manner requested
them to stop the sale of liquor. The
most Of them did so, and what is more
Voluntarily signed the pledge themselves.
The hotels still persist in selling. One
OF these was burned on last Saturday
morning, and if the rest do not stop the
sale 1t is to be hoped that they will share
the same fate. This is great thing for
Montpelier, and one which if persisted
in will prove of far more lasting import
ance in a pecunialy view, to say nothing
OF the higher question Of morality, than
the possession of dozen capitols. We
are pleased 10 see the temperance move
nent anywhere in our state, but we are +.
specially pleased to see il springing up
it has in Montpelier, place for which !
'e have ever entertained peculiar re- ;,
