ance stalk around in her midst, leaving
death and desolation in its track. If the
war had not affixed very high price up
on the various liquors, more drunkenness
would prevail to-day than ever before.
We have law, and it ought to be en-
forced Why is it, that the people of
Vermont will allow their Statutes to be
continually insulted from day to day, and
from year to year by the open violation
of itslaws 2
Every one now looks forward to the
speedy close of the war. The knowing
ones prophecy that the aspects give assur-
ance of the beginning of the end
The constitutional amendment abolish
ing slavery will be ratified by the states
of the Union, and soon slavery will cease
to exist. Our country is being made pur-
er, nobler and will stand higher in the
estimation of her sister nationalities
War will not always last, and slavery
has its limits, but who can say when the
evil of intcmperance Will cease to exist {?
If this war would eradicate this mons
trous evil as it is doing with slavery,
what great object would be gained
Let the question be agitated.- let war
for the eradication of this evil be imme-
diately commenced and prosecuted till
the banner of temperance shall wave tri
umphantly over every part Of the land.
The cause is just one. and Divine aid
will not be withheld. Then, ard not till
then will right condition of our coun-
try be attained.

remarkable self possession throughput the

tasted heartily and with evident relish.
He then passed some time in writing and
all the while seemed in excellent spirits,
unaffected by the terrible prospect before
him. Beal said he belong d to the Epis-
copal Church, prayed fervently, and twice
partook of the sacrament at the hands of
Rev. Dr. Weston, said that be experienced no
regret for what he had done, and that if
he died on the scaffold he would die the
death of martyr: At his own request
his photograph was taken during the
morning. At one o'clock the officers who
had charge of the execution entered his
cell, When he promptly arose and said he
was at their service He added thathe
knew their errand, and said he wished
the work to be done quickly. A moment
afterward he remarked : alt is only a
question of muscular power - think |

He marched to the gallows with firm
step, and smiled when he came in sight
of it. Looking upward. he remarked
that the day was pleasant one. lmmc-

most instantly. The remains will be given

From Grant.
The Richmond Express of Tuesday
says: - ..... ....
1.-The enemy are throwing up heavy
works on the Brunswick stage road be-
tween Ream's station and Moncksneck
bride, two miles below the latter place.
Heavy cannonading was heard in the di-
rection of Dutch Gap Monday"
The Examiner reports furious shell
ling by the federals on Monday in front
of Petersburg, caused by the appearance
of confederate working party. Several
shells, exploded in Petersburg, and num-
besr in Blandford. Grant is extending his
line of railway to new position on Hatch
er's Run.
There is strong probability that if
Lee is compelled to reinquish Richmond
he will fall bac6 on Lynch burg, and then
make his way through the mountains to
East Tennessee or Kentucky Efforts are
now making to repair the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad to Bristol. 1t was ru-
mored at Knoxville last week that one
division of Lees army had already ap-
peared in East Tennessee The federal
expedition now moving from Knoxville
is to defeat this movement, and by again
destroying the railroad, render the trans
fer of Lees army west of the mountains
impossible.

ca The few intimations as to Gen.
Sherman's progress given by the Rich
mond papers make it evident that he
crossed the North Carolina line early last
week, and it is believed he is by this
time at Charlotte, whence there is a d.
rect railroad to Wilmington as well as to
Richmond. Gen. Grant said in a private
letter, on Friday. that if Sherman's sue
cessess continued few days longer the
country might safely indulge in exulta-
ton, 1t is evident that Beadregard must
fight Sherman soon if at all. Gen. Sco-
field, having taken Wilmington can make
a junction with Sherman and either Will.
mington or Newborn may be made the
base of the movement upon Richmond
or against whatever army the rebels shall
be able to plant upon the coast. There
are indications Of important movements in
Lees army, but their character or pur.
pose are as yet matters of conjecture only
The unexpected recall of some of Gen
Meade's officers before the expiration o.
their furloughs shows the expectation Of
important work at hand. The determin
alton Of the rebels to arm two hundred
thousand negroes is wrung from them BY
the conviction Of its necessity. Gen. lie,
has published letter saying that tn
white population can no longer supply
the men needed. The experiment is
desperate one, since it seriously dis
affects large part of the white popula
tion, while it is yet to be proved that tn
negroes will fight for their masters. Tn
less sherman is soon defeated the expert
ment Is too late to save the rebellion. =
