ALARM AT HOME.

The people of this Village were thrown into
a state of excitement on Wednesday p. m. by a
telegram from Montpelier stating that there
was raid upon St. Adams, that the raiders
had robbed the banks, and wounded several
citizens. The bells we're rung, the people col.
lecied, and in short space of time about 100
men volunteered their services to go to the
scene of action, and fight the raiders. Major
Austine started with company of invalids for
the scene of action on the first train. AT
Montpelier on the receipt of the news by tele-
graph Gov. Smith gave orders for the company
of Invalid Corps at that place to proceed at
once to St. Adams, telegraphed to Burlington
TO have company Of the Invalid Corps there
do the same, and gave orders by telegraph 10
have arms at Vergennes Immediately forward
ed for use. A volunteer company was also
soon raised of about 100 men to be ready for
duty. The Legislature which had adjourned,
came together, appointed a committee 10 con-
fer with the Governor, but as no action from
them was necessary, the Governor having al
ready taken the necessary steps for the emer-
gency, they adjourned. The raiders were about
20 or 30 desperadoes probably from Canada
whose object was plumber. They robbed three
OF the Banks of about $4,000, wounded SOW
eral men who resisted them, stole about 80
horses, and took .hasty leave, going north
Pursuit was seon made of the rascals and we
hear that six of them have been captured and
$4,000 recovered. Bailif Hunt was killed and
Mr.. Morey, expressman, was bounded III tax
ing them.
This little scare we hope will spur up the leg
isature to enacting an efficient military law
without delay.

field His last words heard by his men were "Save
the colors, boys"
The following estimate Of the deceased is extracted
from a letter addressed to his wife by one who had
the longest acquaintance with him.
81 cannot yet realize that he Is taken away. The
strong staff is broken. He was my companion in the
family being the nearest me In age As the elder
brother he the leader. Ever impusive, his i'm
pulses were usually Of a generous nature. Cited
with versatile genius, he trained his mind and hand
to II large variety of objects and it may be said he
touched nothing which he did no, adorn.
As n journalist he however probably exerted the
widest influence. Through the columns Of the Brat
teboo Eagle and Phoenix by selected articles of rare
excellence, well by editorials of marked beauty
and power he aided in the diffusion Of knowledge and
in the formation of correct literary taste and what is
Of higher Importance he contributed to the defense Of
those principles of civil liberty which underlie our in
stituticns nation and which, Mt first assailed by
pen and voice, assaulted by physical force"
A few days after the soldiers Of Lt.-Col. Cummings
retook the ground on which he fell and found there
grave with his name rudely inscribed upon head
board. 1t is the grave of brave, energetic loyal
soldier.
