Opinions of the New York Tribune.

Maj. Gen. George Crook and Brig
Gen. B, f. Kelly, commanding in the de
partment of West Virginia, were lately
surprised in their beds at Cumberland
Md, the headquarters of their depart
ment by band Of sixty or seventy reb-
els who came some forty or fifty miles
through Union territory, surprised and
captured first a cavalry picket, then an
infantry post then dashed across the
Potomac into the city, woke up the two
Generals, together with KeIly's adju-
tant, made them dress in a hurry, and
mounted them on fresh horses, when,
after supplying themselves with other
such they made their way back into
Dixie, unCaught and unframed. If they
had only returned on their own j3ded
animals, we should consider the Confed-
eracy's loss in horsehe~h considerably
more than the Unions in two Generals
who would allow themselves to be thus
carried off
Major Gibson, of the 14th Pennsyl-

killed or wounded, but two-thirds of
them captured The rebels took about
twice their own number prisoners. The
excuse made for the towards is that they
were armed only with carbines, while
the rebels were armed with revolvers,
and that the road was so narrow and
bad where the encounter occurred that
two hOrsemen could hardly ride abreast.
He must be fool who don't know that
the narrowness of the pass was an adj

fensive, and that carhines would there

The Annual March Meetings ana
Town Officers.

Editor Rutland Herald The time Is AT
hand when the people of the several
towns will be called upon to elect their
town officers for the ensuing year, ING
war has brought great responsibilities
upon our towns. The financial question
has become a matter of great magni-
tude, All our towns, by paying large
bounties to volunteers, have become
more or less embarrassed with debts
and 1t needs the very best financial abil-
ity to manage these matters successful
ly. The principal reason why some
towns are in so much better condition
than Others as to their town quotas
and their monetary affairs, is because
they have honest, patriotic, far seeing
town officers to look after their inter
ests. In selecting town officers for the
coming year these things should be
considered. The best men should be
elected. Above all things elect the r0g
best men. You have right to demand
of your most prominent business and
financial men to manage your local af
fairs in this crisis of our country, and
if you ask it you will receive their ser
vices, for their loyalty and patriotism
will teach them to promote the public
welfare. Although they may be en-
crossed in business, yet you ought to
ask them to make a sacrifice in behalf
Of the community in which they have
their residence. If any person has any
doubt about the policy and the econe-
my Of securing for town officers the
very best business talent, let them but
look at some of the towns in our own
county that have been nearly bankrupt
ed by inefficient and unqualified town
officers. Some towns that have en-
ployed the very best business men to
manage their affairs have raised their
quotas easily, promptly and cconomi-
Cally, while others have struggled hard.
always behind, and have had to pay the
highest prices to fill their quotas, on &C
count of the inefliciency, stubbornness
and disqualifcations of their officers.
The best men go at once to work and
do the business Of the town as they
would if it were their own. While 9TH
ers, from various causes, are timid,
afraid, jealous, and are fearful some
body will find fault. Such men are
good for nothing for the town. and only
bring shame upon those they represent
To accomplish the selection of desira-
BILE, efficient business men, all should
throw away selishness, forget, for the
time being, private griefs and local di-
visions; united, stand shoulder to shout
der with their neighbors, and all 90 to-
gether for the best men.
The Office of Lister or Assessor, is Of
more importance to the several towns
the coming year, than ever before in the
history of our Commonwealth, as it is
the year for assessment of real estate,
and those towns which do not elect the
very best men to fill this Office will
probably have great cause to regret it
before many years have passed.

MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY.-A Ken
lucky paper says that Coulter, the noted
guerrilla, who was killed two weeks
ago, some time since entered the village
of Hawtsvile and compelled the clerk
of the County Court to give him H.
cense to unite him in marriage to the
young wife of a Union soldier at the
time in Louisville Having obtained
the license by force of arms, Coulter
next sought clergyman, whom, with
threats of death he compelled to go
with him to the house and perform the
ceremony. Having lived with the
doubly- married woman three or four
days, the desperate gave her five hun
dred dollars in gold and set off again in
search of adventures Whether the lady
was constrained by force by gold or by
romantic affection to submit to the mar
riage Is not known. but as soon as her
new husband departed she set off for
Louisville to join the old one.

HABEAs CoHPUs.-Some months ago a
young man by the name OF Albert
Archer, of Ludlow was enlisted by the
selcctmln of that town to help fill up
their quota. Subsequently he went TO
WalGngtord, where he had formerly lived
for a short time and the selectmen of
that town enlisted him there. The au-
thorities of Ludlow, after Iaboring with
those of WalHngfsrd to no purpose, ap-
piled through their counsel Col. Proctor
to Judge Kellogg, for writ of habeas
corpus, on the ground that the young
man was a minor, and had never re
ceived the consent or his mother, who
was his legal guardian. The case came
up for hearing yesterday, Mr. Dunton
acting as counsel for the selectmen of
Walingford.
An effort was made on the part Of
Wallingford to show by Archer's own
representations, and those of his mother
that he was "his own man" One or
two ladies also testified quite positively
that they knee that he was twenty-One.
On the other hand it was shown by Mrs.
Archer's own testimony, by that of Mrs.
Bixby and Mrs Lawrence, Of Ludlow,
who knew the boys age as well as they
did that of their own children, also by
the record in the old bible that Albert
Archer was born in the month of Au-
gust, 1916, and consequently he would
be in his twentieth year at the present
time.
The case was submitted to the court
without argument Judge Kellogg re-
marked that if the boy had been actu-
ally mustered into the United States ser
vice, the proclamation Of the President
suspending the writ of habeas corpus
would have removed the case from his
jurisdiction, In summing up the evil
dence pro and con he thought the pre-
Ponderance was in favor of the boys mi
nority, and he consequently discharged
him from the custody of the Seectmen
Of WallingfOrd 1t is presumed that lie
will now enlist on the quota of Ludlow,
and that his bounty money will he taken
care Of for the support OF. his mother,
who is in needy circumstances

COMMERCIAL COLLEGE LECTURR.-Prof
Kellogg, of Middlebury College deliv-
cred at the Town Hall last evening a
lecture on the contrasts between English
and American literature. 1t was an ell
egant and scholarly production, grace
fully delivered, and deserved a much
larger audience to hear it than was pres
ent. 1t happened unfortunately that
the Sons of Temperance had their an
nual festival at the same time, otherwise
We presume many more would have at
tended the lecture.

Il have attended many councils where

vital TO his congregation. They ask
him all about original sin, and the fall
OF Adam, and the superlapsus aud the
sublapsus, and test him as to whether
he believes in natural grace or acquired
grace, whether man is wholly depraved
or only in part, and If the latter, where
the depravity stops and what relation il
bears TO the restOf his nature but they
never, never suggest a question which

Is Perley," writing from Washing
ton to the Boston Journal, says:
There is the best reason for hpIiev-
ing that Gen. Sherman hasa large army
OF veteran troops in the field. Very few
were left at Savannah because there, as
at Charleston and Wilmington. the gun
boats can hold any force at bay. Sher-
man has left no troops to maintain a
line of communication, for he has de-
stroyed the railroads on this road. If
he does not feel strong enough to whip
Beauregard, wherever he may make a
stand, he will march upon Wilmington.
where he gets good base upon the At
lantic, and with it the 10000 men of
SChOtield'S command.
That the rebels contemplate a retreat
to Lynchburg and on to ward Tennessee,
into Alabama and Georgia, when worst
comes to worst, there is no doubt, but
they will probably seek to retrieve their
fortunes in the CarOlinas before taking
that last resort. 1t may be that Lee is
acting upon the idea that one man be-
hiDd the breastworks at Richmond Will
be good against any four that shall At
