shows any of them TO be wong, let
them be set right. | think l can per-
ceive in the freedom of trade which Mr..
Durant urges, that he would relieve
both friends and enemies from the pres
sure of the blockade. By this he would
serve the enemy more effectively than
the enemy is able to serve himself.
do not say or believe that to serve
the enemy is the purpose of Mr.. Du-
rant, or that he is conscious of any pur-
pose other than national and patriotic
ones. Still, if there were class of men,
who, having no choice of sides in the
contest, were anxious only to have quiet
and comfort for themselves while it
RACES, and to fall in with the victorious
side at the end of 1t, without loss to them
selves, their advice as to the mode Of
conducting the contest would be pre-
cisely such as his.
He speaks of no duty, apparently
thinks of none, resting upon the Union
men. He even thinks it injurious to the
Union cause that they should be re-
strained in trade and passage without
taking sides. They are to touch neither
sail nor pump-live merely passen-
gers {" dead heads" at thaO to be car
red Throughout the storm, and safely
landed right side up. Nay, more-eyen
mutineer is to go untouched, lest these
sacred passengers receive an accidental
wound.
OF course, the Rebellion will never be
suppressed in Louisiana, If the pro-
| fessed Union men will neither help to do
it, nor permit the Government to do it
without their help.
Now | think the true remedy is very
Htt.;-rnt rrcnt from Sst is suggested by Mr..
| Durant. 1t does not lie in rounding the
rough angles of the war, but in remov-
ing the necessity for the war. The peo-
| Pile of Louisiana who wish protection to
person and property, have but to reach
! forth their hands and take it. Let them
in good faith re-inaugurate the National
authority, and set up State govern
ment conforming thereto under the Con-
stitution. They know how to do it, and
can have the protection Of the army
while doing it. The army will be with
drawn so soon as such governments can
dispense with its presence, and the peo-
pie of the State can then, upon the old
terms govern themselves to their own
| IlhInS. IHlS is very slLuple anu easy.
If they will not do this-if they prefer to
hazard all for the sake of destroying the
Government-it is for them to consider
whether it is probable l will surrender
the Government to save them from los
ing all If they decline what suggest,
you scarcely need to ask what / will
do.
What would you do in my position :
Would you drop the war where it is
or would you prosecute it in future with
elderstalk squirts, charged with rose
water? Would you deaf lighter blows
rather than heavier ones Would you
give up the contest, leaving every avail
able means unapplied ? n
am in no boastful mood. shall
not do more than can, but shall do all
/ can to save the Government which Is
my sworn duty, as well as my personal
inclination. shall do nothing in mai
ice. What deal with is too vast fel
malicious dealing. ,~

A lester from President Lincoln
Hitherto Unpublished.
GUTBERTH BUIL1TT, ESQ, Ne'o Orleans,
L0uiSiQHG'

GUTBERTH BULL1TT, ESQ, Neso Orleans,
Louisiana.
SIR: The copy of letter addressed
to yourself by Mr.. Thomas j. Durant
has been shown to me. The writer ap.
pears to be an able, dispassiOnate, and
an entirely sincere man. The first part
Of the letter is devoted to an effort to
show that the secession ordinance of
Louisiana was adopted against the will
of majority of the people. This is
probably true, and in that fact may be
found some instruction. Why did they
allow the ordinance to go into effect !?
Why did they not exert themselves
Why stand passive and allow them
selves to be trodden down by minori-
ty Why did they not hold popular
meetings, and have convention of
their own to express and enforce the
true sentiments of the State If pre-
organization was against them, then
why not do this, now that the United
States army is present to protect them
The paralyzer-the dead palsy of the
Government in the whole struggle is,
that this class of men will do nothing
for the GoVernment-nothing for them
selves-except that the Government
shall not strike its enemies, less they
should be struck by accident.
Mr.. Durant complains that in various
ways, the relation of master and slave
is disturbed by the presence of our army;
and he considers it particularly vexa-
tiDus that this, in part, is done under
cover Of an act of Congress, while con-
stitutional guarantees are suspended on
the plea OF military necessity. The
truth is, that what is done and omitted
about slaves is done and omitted on the
same military necessity. 1t is militia
~ necessity to have men and money;
and we cannot get either in sufficient
numbers or amounts, if we keep from or
drive from our lines slaves coming to
them.
Mr.. Durant cannot be ignorant Of the
pressure in this direction, nor of my eff
forts to hold it within bounds, till he,
and such as he, shall have time to help
themselves.
l am not posted to speak understand
ingly on the public relations of which
Mr.. Durant complains. If experience

AssAULT.-Mr. Daniel Whitcomb Of
this village was assaulted upon the
street near his place of business on Sat
urday evening and severely injured, be-
ing struck in the face with heavy iron
weight by William Valiquett returned
soldier. Valiquett, we understand, had
applied for ale at one of the saloons, and
being under the influence of liquor, was
refused. This considerably insensed
him and he left. Shortly afterwards,
meeting Mr.. Whitcomb on the street
who was quietly passing, he made the
above unprOvoked assault. He was
promptly arrested and is now in Rut-
land Jail awaiting trial.

readers of the "U. s. Journal" have
seen it's columns, copied from 'sThe New
York Daily Era" paid flying visit to
our city few days since, whether from
inclination, for business, or pleasure, or
from motives embracing of all three, Is
not our province TO know, or the rerd-
ers prerogative to inquire. We say,
paid flying visit" for the Doctor hon.
ored our sanctum with his presence but
for moment, and was gone in twink
ling. We could hope, however, that
one object of his visit was, to glance at
the prospect of establishing branch of
his Hospital, on the French system in
Philadelphia.
DIR. Teller's Medical Institution is To-
Gated at the city Of Albany, ~ Y,
where, as we have seen it stated in pa
pers of high standing, 10000 patients
are successfully treated annually. The
Doctor has two medical professors con-
stantly employed to assist him in his
practice at his hospital at Albany.
In conclusion, we must in justice be
permitted to say, that the portrait drawn
by the New York Daily Era," of the
personal appearance, character, stand
ing, talents and high medical attain
ments of Dr. Teller, is not fattered. ALI
that is said of him by that popular
jurnal, is literally true, as will at once
appear palpable even to the most SUPER
ficial observer, who has paid proper at
tention to physical and mental phrenol-
ogy, and has mixed considerably In So
ciety.
Liberal to q fault, of graceful and
pleasing manners, handsome person, of
refined and cultivated intellect, of q
social and kind disposition, and pos
sessed of magnanimity that overlooks
the peccadillos Of frail humanity-James
Teller, NJ. D., of the Albany Hospital, it
may be truthfully said, is the very i'm
personification of the accomplished gen.
tlemen. By pursuing a humane and
strictly honorable course, with ceaseless
industry, Dr. Teller has been enabled to
amass an ample fortune and we do most
cordially, as we can most conscientious
ly, commend him to the attention of all
those who may require the service of q
physician, in desperate chronic cases, as
an excellent doctor and kind friend

Doctor Teller has an advertisement in
our paper to which we call the atten.
ton of our readers.

SABBATH SCHOOL CoNoBRT.-The after
noon and evening Of yesterday, being
the second Sunday in the month, was
the regular time for what is called the
Sabbath School Concert. This was OBJ
served in the Baptist and Congregation
al churches and probably others in the
place. The meetings were very fully
attended, ana were interesting and prof
liable. The school of the Congrega-
tional Society was addressed in very
acceptable manner by Rev. Mr.. Williams,
of Massachusetts, who we understand
is nephew of DR.. Aiken.
We take this opportunity to remark
that the term Sabbath School Concert"
is hardly applicable to these meetings
as at present conducted. Originally
seasons of prayer for sabbath schools,
they now might be appropriately called
Sabbath School Scholars Meetings, ,"
the most interesting part of the exer-
cises being generally the singing and
the recitations of the scholars them
selves.

WHAT Is TO BECOME OF THE NEGRO p
Fred. Douglass answers the question by
saying, give him freedom and he will
take care Of himself. Heretofore he has
had to support his master, too; but now
he is relieved of that burden, he Ger
tainly ought to be able to gain liveli-
hood for himself Give him chance to
work for wages, and he will get along
well enough. II, however, he will not
work, he has the privilege of starving,
"a condition that neither white or
black men are supposed especially to
banker after" We imagine there will
be far less trouble with the negro in
freedom than there was with him when
held as q slave.

CHANGE OF TIME.-By referring to the
change of time of arrival and departure
of trains, it will be seen that passen-

connecting with the Day Express Of the
Vermont Central Road at Burlington, or
by Lake Champlain steamers from Bur-
lington to Rouse's Point, thence con-
Meeting with a train to Montreal the
same evening.
1t is refreshing to think of the de-
lightful sail through the Lake, and one
Of Capt. Flagg's suppers.

his misery by being shot.

Mrs. PERRINEs COURT MARTIAL.--A
further hearing in the Perrine case was
held Thursday before the military COM
mission. Additional testimony was Of
fered on the part of the government,
but disclosed no new facts in the case,
On the part of the defense several wit
nesses were introduced to show that
Mrs. Perrine's temperament was Of a
highly eXcitable, nervous character, and
that she had been seriously i'll for some
time, and was so affected by the shock
produced by her mothers sudden death,
which was instantaneous, and occurred
whilst she was attending a funeral a
short time prey Gus to the capture OF
the train by tiEe rebels, that the accused
was, as one of the witnesses expressed
it, completely unhinged; that what was
taken by strangers to be eXhilaratiOn at
the time or ner capture, was hrr usual
department, and that her apparent plea
sure at meeting the rebel officers was
quite natural, as they were acquaint-
ances, members of the first families of
Baltimore, whom she had known before
the rebellion. Her counsel, Hon. Thorn
as Corwin, filed two pleas one to the
jurisdiction of the court and the other
to former hearing before Gen. Dix. 1t
is proven that the defendant reported or
gave herself up to Gen. Dix, who exam
ined her under oath, examined afiidavits,
and discharged her Upon the first
plea, the defendant claims that there is
no legal authority for q military COM
mission, and that the otfense, if any has
been committed, is punishable under the
act of Congress Of 1861, upon trial and
conviction to civil court. Mrs. Per-
rine is daughter of the late Judge
Collins Lee, at one time United States
District Attorney for Maryland, and
prior to his death Judge of the Supreme
Court Of Baltimore, The hearing of the
case was resumed Saturday.
WARDsBoRo. Our correspondent at
Wardsboro in a communication dated
May 1st, says that a contagious disease
has been prevailing in that town for the
past six or eight weeks, which for time
put the attending physicians at fault.
Two, at first, pronounced it chicken poX,
but afterwards called it the impedigo.
Two other physicians from neighboring
towns called it the variOlOid and small
pOX. The disease continuing to spread
and the citizens not agreeing better than
the physicians as to its character, some
of them We're quite impatient at hear
ing it called the smallpox. Finally the
selectmen sent for DR.. Ketchum of Brat
tleboro, who, after an examination of
some Of the patients, pronounced the
disease to be the varioloid and smallpox
in mild form Since, the town au-
thorities have employed physician
to vaccinate the inhabitants at the
towns expense, and set up notices at
the corners of the highways to inform
travellers Of the existence Of the disease.
Public worship has been suspended for
time both in the north and south vii
lagos of the town, and people are tax
ing great pains to arrest the progress of
the disease, and it will doubtless soon
disappear. There is no occasion for un-
due alarm; but those who are sick will
do well to stay at home until they have
ecovered.-Phentr.
