head of one horse TO tie tai Of the other,

even then there must be an agreement TO

and announced in the cars that there would be
a meeting that night at Library Hall "for the
preservation of tie Union" Stragbiway vr-
ulent copperhead jumpedup and fercey accos-
ted the Union man saying "Sir, what do you
mean by thisp 1t is an insult to Gen. McClel-
Ian. who is now in this car. 1t shall not be put
up with sir, and | shall challenge you unless
you apologize" OF course our Union friend
was somewhat taken aback by this unexpected
and remarkable attack but before he could
frame an answer lady in the cars, the wife of
one Of the most esteemed citszens of Orange,
and herself one of the ornaments of the village
for virtue and intelligence, sprang to her feet,
while her husband stood by her side. "Ac-
cept il, sir" she said, with the fire of patriot
flashing from her eyes accept ii, sir, and
uiH stand your second" The effect was cleo
trio. The car rang with cheers for the lady and
the Union cause, and that night at the meet
ing, we are informed that the incident was re-
lated and greeted with renewed cheers for the
loyal woman. When meeting for the "pres-
ervation Of The Union" cannot be named in the
presence of Gen. Mcclellan, without his friends
regarding it as an "iGsult" to him, the sooner
the people know it the better.

Who speaks of an armistce? Who talks Of pence2
What traitorous, cOwardly murmurs are these2
With rebels and traitors what peace can there be
But the peace which results from submission2
shall we,
Just victory would crown us retire from the field
And all we have battled for savishly yield2
Make peace with rattlesnake coed for the spring7
Oher terms to the lasso Just poised for the swing
In the hand Of a !e2 What madness is this2
Have we fought three long years to be duped by kiss
Have we borne hardship, grief and bereavement for
naught?
Have martyrs died vany our hosts vanly fought?
1t cannot be so! Every dear one we mourn
Would seem to be speaking, in accents OF scorn,
From the green sod that him. Bate-helds, red
With the blood of our martyred and glorious dead,
And our brave, crippled heroes, their wounds yet un-
healed
Cry shame on the bastard who offers to yield!
We are fighting for Principle Freedom and Right;
God gives us resources, and clothes us with might
Were almost exhausted, we dare not give up
How, then, while we pour from still brimmng cup
Shall we shrink from the conflict to which we are
called,
And throw down the burden God gives u.s. appalled,
Shamel shame on the craven who crouches so low
As to seek to submit to Il half-beaten foe!
Who welcomeGdishonor with cowarly cry,
Asking "peace," with our glorious triumph so high
If aught on Gods earth is too mean to be free,
Such creatures as this it most surely must be.
We cannot give back to their thraldom again
The freedmen from whom God has riven the chain;
| We cannot again share the Shareholders guilt
| We cannot make vain nil the precious blood split!
| We must fight it out till the last slave is free,
| That peril like ours in the future may be.
| o God Of our fathers to thee we appeal
| We must battle for Freedom, come come veal
| Defeat thou the counsels of all who oppose;
Send dssension and fear through tile ranks Of foes.
| Give courage and wisdom to all who love Right;
Give us victory, o Father! we trust in Thy might.

HOosAc TUASEL MATTERs-A horse and
cart fell twenty feet down an embankment at
the Hoosac tunnel but the clay was moist
where they struck and no damage was done.
The foundry and machine company at Taun-
ton have just completed large friction der
rick, having two six-inch drums, so arranged
that one will hoist while the other lowers, to be
used for sinking two shafts at the -Hoosac tur.
mel. AT present only two gangs of aborers
can work at a time, one at each end Of the tun-
mel but it is proposed TO sink two shafts at
points intermediate between these termini so
that the tunnel will be divided into three short
sections instead OF one long one, and these sec
tions be all excavated at once until they meet
in one.
The west shaft of the Hoosac tunnel is now
sunk about 230 feet, and the temperature al
the bottom during the warmest day is thirty
FIVE degrees. The depth of water in the noun
tain is nine feet, and the engine employed al
the shafts removes twenty-five gallons at each
revolution. The engine also works a fan b,
which the men are supplied with air.-Th,
number of men employed on the west side o
the mountain is $50.

EDUCATION. To educate man is to unfold
MS faculties, to give him the free and full use
Of his powers, and especially his best powers.
It is first to train the intellect, to give him a
love of truth, and to instruct him in the process
by which it may be acquired. 1t is to train
him to soun lnes' of judgment, to teach him
to weigh evidence, and to guard against the
common sources of error. 1t is to give him a
thirst for knowledge, which will keep his facul.
ties in action through life 1t is to aid him in
the study of the outward world, to initiate him
into the physical sciences, so that he will un.
derstand the principles of his trade or business
md will he able to comprehend the phenomena
which are continually passing before his eyes
Ii is TO make him acquainted with his own ma
ture, TO give him that most important mean,
Of improvement, self.comprehension.

CABBAGE.-The hest method Of preserving
rabbages in the winter is to gather them early,
say about the first of November, when they are
perfectly free from moisture, and hang them
up in cool, dry cellar The great secret lies
in their being kept dry until needed for use.
Another excellent way is to chop them fine, ad-
ding salt and pepper TO suit the taste, and as
good sugar as you can afford. II you put into
this preparation little bruised horse radish
root it will keep sweet and good.-Genesec

After year of many mercies and great pros
perity as we meet to perform the duties i'm
posed upon US by the Constitution Of The State,
would earnestly invite you 10 join with me in
rendering to Almighty God the honor and
praise that is Ills due, and to seek His favor
and blessing upon the deliberations for WHICH
we are now assembled.
respectfully submit the following statement
Of the transactions Of the State for the year,
with such recommendations as seem to require
your consideration.
FINANCES.
The detailed report of the Treasurer which
transmit with this, will clearly exhibit to you
the financial condition OF the State.
From this it appears that the total receipts into the
Treasury, from all sources, have been S2,327,527 66
Balance Sept lst, 1sG3 122,433 "a

The amount of current liabilities, 644,9s2 10
The amount Of current resources, 42953s AZ
Excess of current liabilities, s2l6443 II
The current expenses for the year are
approximately estimated as follows:
Extra pay of 81 90 per month, 775'0Oo 90
Ordinary State expenses, $4,000 90
Interest on loans and funded debt, 10000 20
sl,26O,44S II

This account may be increased TO the extent
of whatever expenses may be incurred in rais-
ing additional troops
The balance due from the United States for
raising and furnishing troops as reported in my
last communication is about S60,000. This
amount still remains unpaid. Efforts have been
made to procure an adjustment of the accounts
but causes beyond my control have thus far
prevented. The accounts against the United
States for the current year also remain unliqui-
dated. These will amount to about the sum ot
100000. / hope soon TO be able TO effect a
full settlement of all these accounts.

urer to Sept. lst, amounting TO S63,6l1 AZ,
