Editor Rutland Herald Having re-

How ONE OF THE ST. ALBANs RAIDERS
WAS IDENTIFIEp.-One of the alleged
raiders, named Geo. B. Paine, was ar
rested at Detroit and subsequently taken
to St. Albans. A curious incident re-
garding his identity is related. 1t ap-
pears that the first intimation the viii
layers Of st. Adams had of the raid was
the appearance in their midst of several
men galloping about on horses and dis
charging firearms indiscdminately about
the streets. This created the utmost
excitement, in which the raiders them
selves seemed to participate. 1t is said
of Paine that he lost his hat, and, see
ing man standing in front of the
American House, he galloped up, and,
drawing his pistol, cried out, "Give me
your hat" The man he accosted was
a stranger in the village, having come
from New Hampshire that day on busi-
ness. He looked Paine full in the face,
and replied very coolly, II don't see it 7"
Don't see it," thundered the latter !;
"give me your hat or I'll blow your
brains OUT" The New Hampshire man
looked him straight in the eye, thrust
his hands into his pockets, and said,
"You blow and be damned !" Paine
wheeled on his horse and rode Off
When he was captured his photograph
was taken, and placed in the hands of
the Postmaster of the town to which our
New Hampshire friend belonged, with
instructions to let the latter see it In
some casual manner, and thus identify
the original. When he came in the
Postmaster was turning the pictures
over carelessly in his hands. "What
have you there !" said he. The Post
master handed them over. He looked
at them moment, rubbed his eyes as
If to. make certain that he was right,
and exclaimed, "Why that's the son of a
b-h that wanted my hat at st. Albans
the day the raid was
The next day he was taken to st. AL
bans, and picked out the prisoner from
a number of other persons among whom
he was sitting. When he saw the pris-
oner in the Sheriff's Office he walked
towards him and merely said, "Well,
you didn't get that hat of mine, did
you ~ 1t was considered clear case of
identity.

ADJurANr AND INSPECTOR GRsxRAL's

ADJuTANT AND INSPECTOR GBSRRALs
REPoRT,--We have received copy of
this valuable report for 1854. 1t is a
book of nearly q thousand pages, filled
with most valuable matter. The great
er part Of the book is taken up with
list of all soldiers who have entered the
service from Vermont from the COM
mencement of the war TO the date Of the
report, with the age, date of enlistment
and muster, and brief statement of
facts regarding each one. Besides this
is a list of town credits, giving the
names, regiment and company OF men
enlisted from each town to its credit
under the various calls of the President
for volunteers. Again, we have copies
of all the orders issued during the year
from the Adjutant and Inspector Gener-
ais office, containing in themselves a
history of the doings Of the State in
filling its quotas, &c. copies of all re-
ports of officers of Vermont troops, Civ
ing in brief the history Of each regi-
ment or independent company and also
copies of the official reports of all the
officers commanding organizations from
this State during the years 1861 and
1862.
The book has evidently been compiled
with great care and labor, and its his
torical value to the State cannot be over
estimated.

ANOTHER SLAP AT DAvIs.-A report
was made in the Confederate House,
similar to that of the Senate, in reply to
Davis scolding message, but no action
was taken upon it. 1t says that appro-
priations have been made for an army
half million strong, which should be
enough, and that the conscription is al
ready so sweeping as to impair the pro-
ductive power of the country and injure
the public service in other respects, with
no compensating advantage. In fact,
like the Senate document, it tells Davis
in substance that the Congress and the
country have done all they can, and if
ne cannot now conquer peace, there is
no use in trying to do it.

CALIFORNIA PETRoLEUM.-The Spring
field Republican says:

CALIFORNIA PETRoLEUM-TheS Spring
field Republican says:
There is quite an agitation in Bos-
ton among the holders of stocks in Cal
ifornia petroleum companies, owing to
statements made by Prof. Whitney,
State geologist of California, and by
Prof. Brewer of Yale College, who as
sisted Prof. Whitney in the explora ton
of that State. They agree in the posi-
tive statement that there is absolutely
no evidence of the existence of petrole-
um in southern California, the region
covered by Prof. Sillimans reports.
There is asphaltum enough, but they
say that petroleum is never found in
connection with asphaltum, and that
the small amount of Oil which can be
obtained from asphaltum is useless
either for illumination or lubrcating
purposes. This is a pretty broad diff
ference, both in fact and opinion, be-
tween the distinguished savans."
The San Francisco Mercury and Sci
entifC Press has something to say upon
this subject, as follows:
The latest scheme of this descrip-
tion bogus mining projects J was
brought to our notice by exchanges re
ceived by the last steamer, and is based

mia, about three hundred and twenty

supply Californians who know that
there has never been even four barrels
of oil refined in this entire State, will
read the above with surprise, which
will in no wise be abated when they
read the following extract from Prof.
Silliman's report of the locality which
accompanies the account. The Profes-
sor says:

QUO acres in one body, on which are at

GEN. LEES TESTIMONY.

A Committee Of the rebel Senate was
engaged early in the present year in an
inquiry into the condition of the Con-
federacy. Among the witnesses sum
moned before them was Gen Lee, and
the following are extracts from his tes-
timony, on the oath January, 1865:
Question bV Senator Hunter. What is
your opinion as to evacuating Rich
mond, and withdrawing the army to
North Carolina
Answer.-In my opinion it would be a
bad movement. The Virginia troops
would not 90 to North Carolina they
would go home.
Question. - Do you think we have
troops enough for the next campaign?
Aaace.-I do not. We cannot last till
midsummer.
QuesttOn.-What do you think Of the
policy of arming 20O00O negroes
HnSWer.-lf we are to carry on the
War, that is the least of evils but in
such an event the negroes must have
their liberty.
Question.-Do you think we could sue
ceed by putting the negroes into the
field.
AnsVer-That would depend on cir
cumstances. We could at least carry on
the war for another year.
Question By Senator HW-What is the
sentiment of the army in relation to
peace
Ats,0e"--It is almost unanimous for
peace. The men will fight longer If nee
essary, but they believe we cannot con-
tinue the war through another cam
paign.
Question By Senator Gral.am.-What is
your Individual opinion on the subject
of peace?
Ans0er.-I think the best policy is 10
make peace on the plan proposed by Mr..
Stephens. The people and the country
ought to be saved further sacrifices.
Question By Senator Walker.-If peace be
not made before Spring, will YOU con-
sent to take command of all the armies
of the Cenfederacy, with unlimited
powers
A,tStOer.-I will take any position to
which my country assigns me and do
the best L can, but do not think | can
save the cause now. No human power
can save it. Had 1 been assigned such
a place one year ago, l think | could
have made our condition better than it
now is.
Question 5y Senator OJr.-You think
then, General, that the best solution of
our difficulties is to make peace on the
Stephens plan
4,'Swer.-Yes, that is the best policy.
think the army and the people ought
10 be saved if all else is lost.
