F-1LL or COLE.NBI.i.

It's our painful duty to announce this;
morning the fall Of the capital Of our
State,-CoLuMHIA.
A gentleman well known to us, in
forms lis that our proud city had 70 sue.
cumb to- a superior force Of the enemy,
abour | o'clock yesterday. AS usual,
there were great many rumors in re.
gard to this sad affair, and even yet 1t is
di'licn, to get correct statement.
There are, also, great many r,mors
in regard to tho routo taken by the enc,
my, and, when we attempt to trace up
these rumors, We find they lack i, lom.
tain head. Some say the enemy has
stakcn the old State road TO our town,
whilst others insist that they have gone
u" Camden, making more direct route
to Greensboro, n. &. We hope the lat.
ter may be correct, aud that our little
town may not be entered by the forces OF
thc'encmy. Should, however, they come
this way, wo admonish all who intend
staying to keep perfectly quiet. A word
out of place may cause some very IN.
pleasant suffering. BE calm, be quiet,
be not excited, lest, in your excitement
you cause yourself and others to suffer.

at Burlington, Feb. 18th, under the au-

The Burlington Free Press alludes to
her reading as IAN entertainment of

lady is not a stagc-struck school girl

past reputation on the boards. She
is a refined md talented Boston lady,
whose remarkable talent as reader
attracted notice in the cultivated So

who, at the solicitation Of hor friends,

The news given elsewhere in re-
gard to the conference at Fortress
Monroe between President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward, and Mcssrs.
Stevens, Hunter and Campbell, Rebel
Commissioners, will occasion some de-
gree Of disappointment in the minds
Of those who INDUCED the hope that
it would be prelude to n cessation of
further hostilities. The conference
took the country by surprise. This
fact indicates that, in tho Judgment of
most men, the time was not yet ripe
for il.
The recent peace movements" end
ed undoubtedly in smoke. The coun-
ry must, therefore, continue its appeal
to the dread nrbitrament Of war salts
fed that mere diplomacy can be no
substitute for the bayonet and the
sword. The success at tho port of
Wilmington, the advance of Gen.
Sherman and the threatened invest
mcnt at Mobile have cheered the
hearts Of the loyal people Of the North
while they have made the winter one
OF darkness and gloom in the rebel
States
looking ut the matter practically,
the great duty now is to "close up the
ranks" The government must be
supported with men and money and
with moral influence. The Southern
people must be convinced beyond all
doubt that tho restoration of the
Union is the only condition of peace.
with this certainty established in the
minds Of the masses" says an ex-
change, and with "such military sue
cesses as we have right to look for,
the coming summer may bring lis
peace negotiations Of different and
morepromising sort-negotiations, not
with the leaders Of the rebellion, either
in their official capacity or otherwise,
but with the masses of deceived and
outraged people, misled by these lead
ers to the brink of ruin, and reused by
impending destruction to escape from
the thraldom which ambitious treason
is still able to maintain"

The Income Tax.

We publish in this issue the names
Of the taxpayers in tho county of
Franklin under the United States In
como Act, rs derived from official
sources. It will be read with interest.
To BIO properly understood, it must be
borne in mind that the amount set OPP
posite each name represents the in
come Of tho taxpayer for the year
1863, after deducting therefrom six
hundred dollars, all taxes of every
kind and house-rent actually paid
A slight reflection will satisfy any
enquirer that the figures embraced in
these lists give an imperfect criterion
Of the actual monetary worth of our
citizens. A possessor of a large real
or personal estate may some years de-
rive but slender income from it, while
another business man with little or no
capital may receive large profits from
his years business, and have a large
income upon which tax is to be lev
led.
The total amount Of special incomes
in Franklin County amount to $11O,-
2O8, Of which st. Adams pays over one
hall, to wit: $59,S93.
The tax levied on special incomes in
this the third congressional district is
reported as follows: In Chittenden
County. 18,S6S.22; Franklin County
$5,1l050; Lamoille County, 81, 065O Oh
Grand Isle County, $307,25; Orleans
County, 1851, 80, and Essex County
1912, 20.
We shall publish in our next the
names OF the taxpayers in Grand Isle

The PAPER MoNopoLY.-P Printers are
receiving to- day the following telegram
from New York
"The agitation of the repeal of the
duty on paper has created a panic in
the market. Prices have been fall
ing since it commenced, until to-day,
when contracts were offered by max
ers at Is and 10 cents--a decline of
some s cents per pound within a
month"
This is n new dodge to escape the
action of Congress on the tariff. Since
it leaked out that there are members
of Congress who are heavily interested
in manufacture Of paper, and of course
IN keeping up the monopoly, they fine
their influence gone, and storm o
contempt gathering about them, anc
