Hon Il. p. WALTON, Dear Sir Par
don me for urging upon you the duty of CALI
ing the attention OF the Legislature through
your Daily journal to the necessity of enar-
ging the salaries of the Justices Of the Su-
preme Court Of our State.
lucrative practice was abandoned by that
noble class OF men for the small salary now
allowed them by law, which, in view Of the
high prices Of the necessaries oflife, is wholly
inadequate for their support. And it would
be an absolute disgrace to the State of Ver-
mont 20 have another year pass without
the interposition Of the Legislature in their
behalf. Your obedient servant, W.
Mr. EDITOR -I have been thinking for
some time that it might be good thing to
get up associations in each County OF the
State, the object Of which shall be to hand
down to posterily the doings and sayings of
the more prominent coppetheads in the va
rious counties. A true record of such a char
acter will hereafter be Of great value. If none
is kept, il will be but short time belor they
will come out and claim to have been first
class Union men, and with their usual effron-
terry, will be able to make their grandchil-
dren (their children they cannot) believe their
record clean The doings of such societies
should be, by copy, transmitted TO the anti
quarian society to kept for all future time,

ADDRESS oE Hon. GEo. THoMPsoN.-The
address Of Hon. Geo. Thompson before the
Legislature last evening in the Represents

the fortune of our citizens to hear. The Hall
was densely crowded, and the orator held the
attention of his audience very closely for two
hours, discussing the questions Of our national
policy with great eloquence and effect. We
learn that the address will be published in
pamphlet form. Members Of the Legislature
are subscribing literally. Mr.. Thompson has

VERMONT COLONIZATION SOCIETY.
Owing to the inclemency Of the weather,
add TO the address Of the Hon, Geo. Thomp-
son, another friend Of the slave, at the State
House, the audience at the anniversary Of
be Vermont Colonization Society, which took
1lace las Thursday evening, was not SO large
As was desired, oT as the noble object Of the
society should have obtained.
But, although the audience was small, the
xercses Of the evening were none the less
interesting, and we can assure those who fall
I'd to attend, that they missed very rare
4sat.
lheteports of the Secretary and Treasurer
aud the address we're each very interesting
and the music by the choir was excellent
The meeting was presided over by the
President. Hon Daniel Baldwin of Montpe-
ier.
After singing the I'd psalm was read and
prayer was offered by the Rev Mr.. Byngton
Of Windsor.
After voluntary by the choir and the re-
ports Of the Secretary and Treasurer, Rev.
Mr., Lord of Montpelier introduced, in a very
handsome speech, Henry w johnson Esq. a
coIored lawyer from N. Y, but native of
Vermont.
Mr.. Johnson commenced an interesting
and instructive address by saying that if there
was anything of which he was justly proud
it was that be was born in Vermont, that
,he bones Of his ancestors for one hundred
years, lay buried in the state which had never
had a single slave upon its soil
He acknowledged that great change bad
taken place in his views quite recently that
although formerly very much opposed to it,
he was now greatly in favor Of colonization,
believing that there is no bright future, as he
used fondly to hope, N store for the colOred
race in this country.
Owing to circumstances entirely beyond
their contro., there is no advantage to the
negro in struggling to rise, as people are de-
termiued to keep him down.

DR.. HUNTINGToN' DISCOURSE. an
nual discourse before the Vermont Bible So
eiety, was delivered in the Brick Church last
evening by Rev. DR.. Huntington of Boston
Notwithstanding the rain and excitement oc-
casioned by the reception Of news OF a start
ling character, large audience was present
Dr.. Huntington, basing his discourse upon a
text Of scripture, spoke Of the Bible, its rela-
tons to man and adaptation to human nature,
and its unity or inward agreements. The
discourse was more clear and definite in its
division and statements than are some Of the
discourses from the same able rem It was
also eminently characterized by that learning
and eloquence, never wanting in the writings
and discourses of Dr.. Huntington,
Quartermaster Blunt of St. Johnsbury, VT,
who has been on duty at Bermuda Hundred
for some time past, has been ordered to Nor

Union Deserters among Rebel Pris-
Oners.

There were several hundred prisoners who
arrived here on the 22d inst Among them was
a man who gave his name as John Moore, and
as belonging to the cath Georgia Regiment He
belonged to New York State and was granted
furlough to return home, he remained in the
State after his leave of absence expired. He was
taken by detective in New York city and sent
on to City Point, Va On his arrival there he
was confined in the same building with the rebels
and they provided him with some of their own
clothing SO as to pass him off for rebel prison
er, and thus enable him to escape the certain
punishment of desertion. He was unsuccessful
in Disgusting himself as to escape the vigilance
of Major Brady, the Provost Marshal. He was
detected and has been forwarded under guard
to his regiment. He originally belonged to the
I'd New Hampshire Cavalry. number Of
prisoners also arrived here on the cath inst
Among them was one who said that his name
George Ridgey, and that his regiment was
the 6Ist Va, (rebel.) On examination it was
discovered that he had forged Il descriptive list,
vainly hoping thus to secure himself from arrest.
He had altered descriptive list belonging to
rebel soldier by erasng the name and inserting
his own. The Provost Marshal subjected him to
a searching examination and finally confessed
that he had enlisted in the Union navy, and had
deserted, and that his real name was Allen
Hammond. He was conveyed to the Provost
guard house where he awaits his sentence,

Rebels Getting Scared.

From the tone of the rebel journals at Rich
mond it is evident that they are apprehensive
Of final and complete defeat. They speak of the
reports which rapidly succeed one another of
armistices about to be proposed to the South,
and rumors of peace conventions at the North as
unreliable and unworthy of confidence. They
are not so ready to give credence to the reports
that the 4" imbecile at Washington" is about
''to be dethroned' as they were week or two
ago They most earnestly demonstrate against
relaxing any efforts to secure the triumph oftheir
armies. If the government at Washington is
about to take the initiative in peace negotiations
still the terms of peace will depend upon the
suits of the operations of the armies in the field.
These are very correct conclusions, and if we are
to heed that old maxim sit is right to be taught
by the enemy" let us make practical use of
these suggestions and give hearty cooperation
in reinforcing our armies, and in promoting the
comfort, and consequently increasing the efici-
ency Of our soldiers. Every one who has the
welfare of this country at heart can do some
thing in his sphere, however lowly and humble
that may be, to consummate the desirable re-
subtitle overthrow of the rebel armies. This
is the only way 10 secure an honorable and
lasting peace. The exercise of true wisdom and
sound discretion will teach us that the vigorous
prosecution of the war until its termination in
the submission of the rebels will be the most
benefcent in its results, while the miserable
peace propositions and armistces will only pro-
long the conflict and augment our miseries.
The enemy realize that the crisis is upon them,
and that that their cause is in peril. Let US
come up to the conRict united with long
pull, a strong pull and pull altogether, and
soon peace will gladden. every patriotic heart.
