The news from Maryland. as found in
the Chronicle Of the 18th, gave much dis
appointment to the sanguine portion OF
the community. However great the dis
appointment may be, yet inuch has al
ready been, and much more will be aecnm-
plished by these army corps now, "a we
believe, still north Of the Potomac. PaDn-
sylvania lies before those corps, and invites
foraging on the largest scale. A raid by
forty odd thousand men, sweeping through
that State, destroying railroads, seizing
horses and cattle, and carrying retaliation
tothe very hearthst0nes Of the people of
Pennsy ylyania, would cultivate into a most
fruitful harvest the already sown seeds of
peace We know nothing Of the orders
under which that army is acting, and the
secrecy observed among our people, which
has denied TO all the least knowledge of
the expedition, cannot be too highly com
mended; but it would be particularly grat-
flying to our injured end plundered peo.

warfare had been carried to their doors.

some Of the injuries they have inflicted up

out by the armies of the United States. -

GENERAL ITEMS.

The railroad shops of which we have
spoken are not inferior to any in the South.
The occupation of the roads north and
west Of Atlanta, drove large number of
locomotives and cars to that point and

The Mansfield Herald Of the 20th says:
We have observed on our passage to and
from Ashland, many grainfelds cut and
shocked. While the shocks appeared to
be standing ordinarily dense, in some fields
many others are miserably empty, by all
appearance not producing as much as the
seed sown on them. However with all the
failure Of the winter crops, the summer
crops look tolerably. promising, so that
with good weather and proper attendance,
there will be no famine, az some Of our

1t will be seen, in addition to its impor-
lance as a key to the network of railroads
extending to all portions Of the Gulf
States, that Atlanta has had greater val
ne on account of its manufactures. The
very existence of the Southern !nrmies, as
such, has been largely dependent upon its
products of the machine shops, foundries
and laboratories of Atlanta. If when the
opportunity formerly offered, strong col
umn had been pushed through this coun-
try, as is now being done, and Atlanta had

ing of the Temperance League" was
fully attended at the Baptist Church
Friday evening. Hon. Daniel Roberts
presided. Henry Rolfe, Samuel Hun
tington and Henry Ballard were appoint
ed committee to appoint forty dele
gates to the Williston Convention.
Hon. Milo l.. Bennett introduced the
following resolutions:
Resolced, That there is moral poser
enough in Burlington, to insure whole
some observance of our Prohibitory law,
if properly called into action; and that
every reasonable effort should be made
to attain that object.
Resoieed, That we believe in the power
of neral saasio," as applied to the
drunkard; and as applied TO the man
that makes him drunk, we would super
add to it the poscer of legal saasion;"
which after several animated and inter
esting speeches by the Chairman, Rev.
DIR. Foster, Rev. Mr.. Mix, and Messrs.
Adams and Huntington. were adopted,
The speeches of Messrs. Adams and
Huntington are reported to us as being
exceedingly rich and forcible, especially
that of the former gentleman, who urg-
ed that the members of the League
should be on hand early March meeting,
and that they must see that only those
representing the views of the league
should be elected to the offices of Select
men and Town Grand Jurors. In this
connection Mr.. Adams named Judge
Bennett as a fit candidate for Grand
Juror Both gentlemen gave Mr.. Ell
Chittenden, the present town agent

sold drink" illegally. Mr.. Chittenden'
who is member of the League, made
g nary response to these charges.--B~-

I ours truly,
l.. B. HAMMOND"

GRoLoeY.-Professor Denton, in his
lecture last Saturday evening, stated
that the first remains Of man were found
in caves in England. DR.. auckland
made discoveries of this kind as early as
1920; Catholic Priest by the name OF
Henry, made similar discoveries in 1890
Subsequently discoveries were also made
in France, which led Sir Charles Lyell
DR.. Rigolet, and others to conclude that
a rude and savage race of men must
have existed at or before the time that
extinct species of animals existed that
is anterior to the Historic Period"
The facts, in brief, are that on the
bottom of caves beneath deep beds Of
stalagmites, have been found-innu-
merable bones of animals totally differ
ent from any that are now known to ex-
list. Fifteen or twenty feet below these
bones, have been found flint knives
flint axes, and other implements to the
number Of hundreds, If not thousands
The conclusion is that man must have
existed when the mammoth existed
and that this must have been considera-
bly, more than 5000 years ago.
In relation to which we have only to
say that 5000 years, or 5000 years is q
long time, humanity speaking. 1t is suf-
ficient for cities to become buried hun
dreds of feet below the surface-for,
trees to grow over them to great size
and for man to settle upon the
land again and again. Whoever be-
lieves that the ancient city of Nineveh
has been brought to light within few
years, ought to have little difficulty in
believing that these flint knives were in
use not very far from the time when
Julius Caesar invaded Britain, say a
hundred years before the Christian era.

day last ~
AT ten O'Clock the Governor accom-
panied by his stan, Adj Gen. washburn
and Quartermaster Gen. Davis, arrived
ON the grounds. When the regiment
had passed in review His Excellency
addressed Lieut., Col. Lewis and his re
giment In a feeling and eloquent man.
ner reviewing their gallant exploits at
Fredericksburg, Antietam, Savage Sta.
ton, ON the Peninsula and many other
well contested fields.
{" To you,n said Gov, Smith, "nov
belongs the proud distinction of having
as a regiment been the first to re-enlist
In your country's service for another
period OF the war-The Fifth Vermont
the First Veteran Regiment"
Allow me, Colonel, in the name OF
the State TO present You with this new
standard of colors. Your regiment has
fought nobly under the old-its pierced
and tattered folds will ever witness 10
the bravery and fidelity of your troops.
MAY this new standard be held sacred
by you with IL l entrust 10 your care
and keeping the honor and fair fame OF
the State Of Vermont, The past history
of your regiment is the surest guaranty
that they are safely entrusted, and viii
be sacresly guarded"
Col. Lewis received the beautiful col.
ors-a blue silk flag, bound with gold,
bearing the State coat of arms, and re-
piled TO the Governors speech In fe-
licitous and appropriate manner.
The regiment then went through the
evolutions of battalion drill which,
considering the snow and consequent
unevenness of the ground, and the fact
that the regiment was somewhat out OF
practice, were admirably gone through
with, and gave much satisfaction to the
large number present. In the afternoon
the officers of the Fifth, their wives, and
a number OF our Burlington ladies, en-
joyed n pleasant sleigh-ride to Essex
junction, took supper at Taylor's, and
returned at an early hour in the evening.
The veterans leave at o'clock this
morning for the front ria the Vermont
Central They carry with them the
blessings and prayers of every Yer
monter. May they again return to us
in the day ofpeace, unframed and with
new laurels on their brows.

CONFEDERATE BrBLEs.-On board the
prize steamer Minna, the cargo of which
was sold in this city within few days,
was an immense invoice of Bibles and
Testaments of almost every sort, size and
description, from Testament at twenty
five cents to quarto Bible worth TWEEN
ty-flve dollars. AS we looked over the
stock yesterday, which occupies every
available space in the bookstore Of w.
III. Piper & Co., we almost felt regret
that people who have forgotten their
allegiance to God and man, and who for
a long time have evidently been. out of
Bibles, should be prevented from receiv-
ing what they so much need, and that
the rebel army, for whom a portion of
the books were evidently intended.
should not have had their passions
modified, at least by the opportunity
which would have been afforded to that
portion of them who are able to read,
once more to peruse the Word of God;
but there was satisfaction in the
thought that the firm who now own
them, will soon, ut the prices asked,
clear their shelves, and that the Bibles,
instead of being desecrated by the
bloody hands of traitors, will many Of
them find their way into the possession
of our soldiers-that glorious band Of
