THE SPIRIT OF THE ARMY.-The fol-
lowing''is an extract fromEa private letter
from the army of Virginia: -
PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 10.

from the army OF virginia: ~
PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 10.
I regret that you did not carry out your
projected trip to Richmond, and visit to me,
knowing that you would have been much
interested in an examination of affairs here.
You would have seen entrenehed, from the
north of Richmond to the south Of this
point; the finest army in The sOorld-men
who have braved every danger and hard
ship since the war commenced, and who
will cheerfully offer their lives and services
for four years more, orlonger, if necessary,
not for reconstruction, not for peace negoti-
ations, but for kberety.
Mr.. Boyoe's letter has filed every South
Carolinian here with shame and indigna-
ton. The army looks for our Legislature
to prove, by some determined action, some
of the strongest kind of resolutions, that
Mr.. Boyce has expressed only his own SEN
timents, and that our once pure and glori-
Gus little State is animated by no pusillani-
nous spirit Of submission. -
All resolutions asking for peace negotia-
tions are submission sentiments.
Abe Lincoln has said that he would not
negotiate except for unconditional submis.
sion, and we must accept the alternative
fight or submit. Virginia says, fight =
Georgia says, fight! What does South
Carolina say Mr., Boyce alone has spo-
ken. We await the action of the, Legisla-
ture With confidence

A "TERRIBIE Collision. "A cores
pendent of the New York Evening Post
gives the particulars Of terrible col
lision," as follows:
"The ship General Mcclellan. Of Chi
cago, under command of one ens,,no,,,,
came into coliisi"" with the ship Gene
raj Sherman. of the United States, com
manded by Abraham Lincoln, at or near
Atlanta, Georgia. The General Sher-
man was not injured at all, but the Gen.
Mcclellan had one of her principal
planks knocked out Of her platform,
completely shiveripg the whole struc-
ture. She had on board at the time CT
the collision large and sanguine party
of war men, peace men and copperheads
who were thrown into the greatest con-
stemation. and great fault is found with
the commander of tn General Sherman
for not having avoided the collision I'M
til the the Gen Mcclellan had got past
Cape Second Monday in November, when
she could have dispensed with her plat
form and would not have been liable to
such serious injury. The party on board
the General Sherman are truly thankful
that the strength of their ship has saved
them from disaster. We do not learn
that there was any INSURANCE. on the
General Mcclellan"

MCCLELLAN AND JEFF. DAvIs.--Ac,,

thus set forth by Col. Metcalf of Ken
Sucky:
81 got my eyes opened on that young
Napoleon in the spring of 1861. | went
to see Gen. Mcclellan, and in the course
of the conversation said to him that
JEFF. Davis was scoundrel and a repu-
diator. He (McClellan) Strengthened
himself up quickly, and said: 81 do as
sure you, sir, that you are Mistaken
Jeff. Davis ia perfect gentleman, and
will not do anything unbecoming a gen.

THE CONDITION OF THE ENGLISH PEAS
ANTRY.-The neglect of the peaSantry
of England by the government is having
Il sad effect in increasing restitution
and crime in the rural districts. The
returns show the peasautry to be more
vicious, degraded and immoral than the
manufacturing operatives or even the
population of seaport towns, Other
countries are labOring to eXalt this class.
Russia emancipates her sertS and puts
homestead within the reach OF average
industry. Prussia compels her chill
dren TO 20 to school. France is owned
by the small farmers, and her rulers ap-
peal TO them for financial aid ; and in
ordering the small subscriptions to her
great loan 10 be filled, she shows how
wisely she protects and cherishes indi-
vidual prosperity as source of public
wealth. But IN England Capitalization
is always going ON. In ITO there were
100000 freehold estates, owned by as
many different families. In 1915, after
the long continental wars, the whole
lands of England were found to have
been concentrated into the hands OF on
ly $4,000 proprietorS, and at present the
number Of landholders is even smaller.
In this way the yeOmanry of the c0un-
try, the bone and sinew of every Coun-
try, become mere tenants at will of the
heartless landlords. In l848 the public
boards of guardians were called upon to
relieve l .676,54l paupers, one-eighth Of
the whole population.

Yesterday was proud day for Rut-
land. The Unien-loying people turned
out in way worthy of the occasion,
worthy of the great and vital interests
at stake i'm this the first election or

and for all time the permanency OF the
American Union. Our citizens gave
such blow % the cowardly Union

Democracy, Us it will be likely to re-
member to It's dying day-to wit the
9th day OF next November. The Copper
head faction had organized, and labored
with the desperation OF last hope.
They had boosted of the victory they
were to win in this town until they
seemed tohave convinced themselves of
coming grand success. Their candidate
for To wn Representative they especially
lahore ID to elect and were especially sure
ofele,sting. Behold the result, as CON-
pared with last year:
Union majority on state ticket in
1863, two hundred and eighty-nine in
1864, three hundred and sixty-eight.
Union majority for Town Representa-
tive in 1868, one hundred and seventy
eight i'm 1864, two hundred and fifty
four.
The Union men OF Rutland have nobl
done tlieir share towards opening I'll
peliticstl campaign Of the Fall in maj
mex woi.thy of the old Green Mountal
State. We hope every other town hi
doae as well. Now lei the people
