We had thought to explain to-day some
of the positive advantages Of a city orgonlEa-
tion but perhaps our space Will be as well
occupied in considering the objections OF our
correspondent. Let us take them in their
order
/ "Union is mistaken. Ii is not
prjyate but a pubic cnterprize. The charter
was granted upon the petition Of large
number Of cur citizens, hundreds, OF all
classes. uniting in the request. There was
no need Of a vote of the town, at that stage,
since the whole matter is referred 70 the
town for adoption or rejection, by vote 1t
is no more a scheme of the few to tax the
many than our State Legislature is. The
CITY council will be in fact the servant Of the
citizens. who select them, and their power
to Law taxes is erpresIiy limited in the char
ter. No oatlay beyond fifty cents on the
dollar on the Grand list. can be made Tor
any purpose, except by express authority OF
the voters of the city assembled in general
meeting. Nor can the credit Of the city he
pledged except in the same way, by vote OF
the majority. This dispOses of the charge
that it is a plan to burden the place with
water debt There will be no more power
To create such debt under the charter than
there is now.
>. We think it is necessary to the pest
prosperitv of the place II We increase the
novers of our town officers to the needed ez-
tent, it will be equivalent to city orEaniza-
ton, and we may as well have the name
with the gain.
3. Thistle srpenss-is the main ohgec-
t;on 10 the charter. and is, in our humble he
lief. a wholly fallaeiOu. one. South Bur
linoton will not need much in the way OF
puhlic buildings and will at any rate be
mite willing to take the burden. such as it
is The inhabitants of South Burlington
have heretofore petItioned for division OF
the town. The c,ty can be run, il the peu-
ple desire, as cheapiy as 'he fotrn is now
and more efficiently. If more expense Is IN
Cured it will be by the deliberate choice o.

While neighboring towns have been scared
and excited By actual or threatened invasion,
and some have seen robbers in rocks, or imag-
ined the kneI Of their peace in the report Of
hunters gun, we have followed our industrious
and peaceful ways with none to molest or make
US afraid. So secure has every one felt. that an
attempt to organize home guard by some over
timid souls, died out so quick that few knew It
had been started. Il looks even as il the new
organrzation Of the militia under State law may
only be effected BY drafting. Our streets are
quiet BY day and night There are no sounds
Of fife or drum to announce raid coming. or to
stir Up the people either to make one or to re-
pei one. Even the parsonage IS free from all
suspicion Of surprising raids. Its doors are un-
locked and its inmates are in 10 danger Of per-
sonal arrest, or of having their domicile rum
maged from cellar to garret. Parishioners and
itizens come and 90 freely and in the utmost
quiet, one by one. leaving their pledges Of good
will. and their appreciation Of what these times

erous agent. The amount Of these gifts during
the last few weeks is one hundred and seventy

IHE CAPTURE OF THE BLOCKADE RUNNER
vixen The steamer Vixen, recently cap
turcd ly the Rhode Island, while attempt
Ing 20 run the blockade off Wilmington, had
on board a valuable cargo of small arms,
drug and blankets. She is new steamer,
on her first voyage, English built, OF fault
less mudcl, to attain high rate Of speed,
and equipped with two splendid horizontal
ensin.- Previous to her coming in con-
tact with the Rhode Island she bad been
un'ueo-s,fully chased by TWO of our block
allng -Jeamers, and outran both Of them.
Ihe parsuit by the Rhode Island was an
exciting one Valuable cases Of rifles were
broken cut OF the hold, hoisted on deck, and
thrown overheard to Tighten her and attain, if
possible. a greater speed. She was driven to
her utmost, the buckets in her wheels be-
came lOo-ened, from the tremendous velocity
Of their revolutions. and went crashing
through the top OF the paddle oxes- Thus
went bucket after bucket" until her
powerful engines drove the bare arms of the
wheels-mere oars with the blades broken
of In this condition she was when the
Rhode Island came alOngsii,, and took her
in tow, she being literally without motive
power. The Vixen had a crew numbering
iorty men, and her captain is an ex-oficer

We are informed that, on Saturday last, a
stranger stopped at the hrickyard about a
mile from East Highgate. to feed jaded

sation excited 50 much suspicion that a boy
was sent to notify the authorities OF the vii

stranger, and finally started out to meet him
They soon discovered his horse. down by the
roadside completely exhausted. but the rider
had disappeared. Yesterday morning. a Mr.

a rough looking fellow, seated near a stump,

ter the woods, evidently steering for Canada,
and though the neighborhood and party
from Franklin, turned out for his capture,
they were unsuccessful. A telegram from
