Armed Defence of the Frontier.

The Governor upon receiving reli-
able tidings Of the doings of the brig
ands at st. Adams, took immediate
measures for the protection of the
frontier. He empowered Lieut.. Col.
Reuben C. Benton, of Hydepark, late
of the 18th Vermont, who was COM
missioned as captain of company ID,
9TH Vermont regiment, Sept. 3, 1861,
to organize Provisional Home Guards
at different points on the frontier ox-
posed TO the predatory incursions of
the freebooters from Canada. Col.
Benton was made Colonel Of the Pro-
visional Forces, and aided by Major
John j.. Barstow the member from
Shelburne by the way, Immediately or
gained provisional home companies
in Franklin county-doing this impor-
tant work with rare dispatch, pru.
dence, and to universal satisfaction
Col. Benton proceeded with an OLD
friend to East Alburgh and Alburgl
Springs to organize company there
but the action of the citizens Of Al
burgh on Friday, October Dist, else

his visit. Col Benton thought it un

Death Of Chief Justice Taney.

Chief Justice Roger Brooke fancy

October II, 1864, in the 6sth year Of
his age. Aside from the prejudice
which the bred Scott decision has en-
gendered in the public mind at the
North, and especially in New England,
this announcement Of his death, in
the words Of the National Hteligencer,
will carry sorrow to the hearts of the
people among all who held him
in reverence for the high qualities he

Eleven Days More.

On Tuesday, November 8th, 1861
eleven days from date hereof, the pres
idential election will be held On that
day will the great question involving
the perpetuity of free government and
free institutions be decided The
Republic cannot survive dishonorable
peace. This Republic, with peace at
any terms, would be q byo-word and a
hiss the world over. What will you
do, frpemen Of Vermont? You will
rally from the hills, the valleys, and
The mountain tops, and vote for the
Union candidates Not freeman will
stay at home; not one we trust The
man who loves his business or his ease
more than his country's cause, IS but a
fractional part Of a freeman. Arouse,
then, friends of right. Organize. Can
vass every school district Bring eve
ry citizen out to the polls Let Vcr-
mont show clean and noble record.
Only eleven days are left in which to
work and arouse the freemen Of this
commonwealth, preparatory to the
grand struggle on the Sth Of Novem-
Der Let no man say that he will stay
at home, buy and sell and get gain on
election day, because the State Of Yer
mont is safe for Lincoln aud Johnson
That is only poor excuse for laziness
Indifference, or a want Of zeal for tho
Union cause.
In the days left remember Their,
are only eleven, and their sands vii
soon run out--organize. BE up anC
doing. By earnest zeal and well di
rected effort, relying upon the noble
ness of the cause, press on. Lookinl
upward, press on prayerfully and man
fully to a glorious political victory.
And beside all this, the duty of civ
ing to the administration the mora
support Of an overwhelming maiorit
is obvious. The value of our politicl
success is doubled, if it appears tina
the opposition, rallied on the Chicag
platform, is not only in a minority bu
also weak one, and that the admins
tration, in its military measures, ha
the hearts of the people to back i
We trust our people will let it apes
plainly that they are resolute, conf
dent, and devoted to the support of II
Government. That assurance viii,
an overwhelming majority for Abr
ham Lincoln and Andrew johnson S
cures will be damper upon the hop
OF those who have taken up arm
against the best form of governme
extant
Eleven days more in which to woi
out our political salvation Elev,
days more in which to put down fo
ever the idea that the people of Anne

selves. Eleven days more are left

is short. Let us press onward al

early and reliable particulars to the

and facts which form tolerably an

receiving visitors Mt his room on the
sly and again October 18th. He ap-
peared like n gentleman in his man

to his companions in his room, one
evening, so loud as to attract the no
tice of a lady boarder in the house
The lady was quite sure that such civ
