TO THE PUBLIC.

In view of the Card published in the. last
issue of the Cumberland Union, it is proper
that should make statement. 1t is known
to many of the military and citizens ii this
place that ON the Minister who married the
parties referred to in that card 1t rs true
that those who published it did not inculpate
me in their statement. But as some persons
may suppose that l knew the circumstances
which occurred previous to the marriage, it
is due myself to state, that was totally ig-
norant of them. When I appeared at the
house referred to, all was quiet Nothing
TRANSFERRED before the marriage while was
there, nor during the ceremony, which could
lead me to suspect that anything was wrong.

tory to the Uniou men Of Allegany is possible.
We are not about to take upon ourselves the

coin has entered the rebel capital whence tho
so-callcd Confederate President and Cabinet
have fed. And thanks be to GOD, WHO

giving Of every patriotic soul. The victory"
over rebellion; the victory which shall eman-
cipate what loyal men and women there are
in the South from the thraldom of military
despotism, from the blackness and darkness
OF political error, from the hurricane of pas
sion which has swept over and nearly crushed
them. For this victory all should bend the
knee and offer humble praise to the Good and
Great Givcr. We thank COP that our flag,
which is the symbol of union, of law, and of
order-Nhich is the sign Of hope to all man
kind, everywhere, who are struggling to as
sert mans right to free government, and to
such position as his abilities and efforts may
enable him to achieve, unfcttercd by the caste
forged by mere privilsgc-we thank God that
this flag ia "still full high advanced" Any
banner upheld by our people that symbolizes
other principles than these, so far from being
worth greeting, can carry beneath its folds
only terror and confusion. The idea embodied
in the American Constitution is the highest
point which Freedom has achieved during her
long and bloody struggles with arbitrary
power. May mcrciful Providen CO vouch-
safe to sustain this sacred banner, forward and
onward, as high above such mean passions as
revenge. and the lust for power, and greed,
as the heavens arc above the earth! This
victorious flag which waves over Richmond
does not owe its honors to blood, but to the
benefcence and grandeur of freedom, union
and law, which have cemented, the most fay
ored people know to history. We have only
to be true to the inspirations which breathe
from the short record of our nations life, and
We shall soon be one people, nobler, wiser,
better more humble, more fraternal, more
respected and feared than ever before.

Mr.. EDITOR ALLOW me through the
columns ofyour paper to call the attention
of the sheep and horse breeders of Yer
mont to the International Exhibition to
be held at Stettin, in the kingdom of
Prussia, in the months of May and June
next.
Most particularly are the sheep breed
ers Of Vermont interested in this exhibit
ton. The enyiable reputation gained by
Vermont, at the exhibition of 1868, has
awakened an interest in her sheep through
out the civilized world, aud another dem
onstration, which could not fail to be
successful, would open for Vermont a
great foreign trade, and bring to her pco-
pie large sums of foreign money. The
sheep left in Europe and sold to Count
sherr Thors, in 1868, have proved re-
markably well, and during the last year
many inquiries have been made from
abroad, with the view of purchasing
American sheep.
Any letter directed to me will receive
prompt attention. DANIEL NEepmAM.
