SMUGGLING.-On Friday last, two respect
able looking men Of Windsor, came from the
north into Lyndon village, with two loads
of oats and grass seed. There was nothing
singular in that. But they had not fairly got
unhirched at Darliing's Hotel, before one X.
Nj. Kimball, Custom House Officer at Bar
ton, appeared with pitchfork in hand and be-
gan to stab the bags. That was singular
and impressed the people Of our quiet village
with the idea that the life and times of Don
Quixotte were suddenly resurrected. A few
violent strokes into the bags and the enrag ed
officer struck ile." Encouraged by this he
removed the bags, explored their contents
and in the operation raised such an odor OF
Canada whisky that the good judges Of that
article collected in large numbers, and their
vrtuous indignation at the violation of the
custom laws being fully aroused, they gener-
ously offered their services in disposing Of the
contIaband article Much to their dis4ppoint
ment the officer refused all proiFers Of assist
ance, and loading the whiskey (sixty odd gall
lons) into his sleigh, drove to Barton Re-
turning the n, xt day, he settled up with the
Windsor gentlemen in the following manner
They gave the officer their receipts for four
horses with harnesses, two sleds, a quantity
of bags, &c Said property to be returned to
the officer, or the money for it, in case the
court, after trial, should so order. The men
camed to have bought the whiskey this side
Of the line and in good faith They seemed
to feel badly, but whether it was for being
suspected Of violating the law, or for losing
the whisky, We did not learn Union.

The spectacle Of the disbandink Of
our armies and disappearance Of its 81
ements in the bosom Of the people is q
granaer one than any victory we have
achieved in this war. It is unexsm-
pied. In all parallel cases the
army has been the powerful instrument
that has raised to supreme power some
military favcsite, Who, usurping author
ty, has handed down peoples hber-
ties as the inheritance of line af prin-
ces. It remained for the American pee.
! pie, in infancy and in the vigor Of man
hood, to contradict this rule, and to
show bright example Of patriotism
in her citizen solGery. The immense
army, aud what was to be done With it
when this cruel war was over has been
a questionthat agitated the minds Of
many by no means superficial students
of past historic examples. It was stp.
posed that forei gn war woala be nec-
essary, if for no other purpose than TO
employ in distant expeditions this dam
gerous material left on ocr hands, and
a collision with Mexico was looked up.
on as not only commendable, bat neces-
sary for domestic causes.
The fact that our soldiers were anx-
ious to be allowed to return to their
homes and exchange the Z word for the
sickle, was, to many, as unexpected as
gratifying.
It believed that the soldier had
become so welded to his profession as
to be unwilling to exchange it for any
to be more igucble. That the Govern
ment has disbanded them, and that
they have accepted it as debt duo to
them, isa grander achi evement than
sammoning them toge ther in the cause
of Their country.
