FArLUREs OF BLOCKADE RuNNERs,-

FAILURES OF BLOCKADE RUNNRRs.- !
Two heavy failures in England, caused |
"by losses in blockadc-ruaning. are an
nounced. Thomas Sterling Begbee,
owner of the blockade-runner Gertrude
and charterer of the noted vessel Spring
box, goes under for half million dol
lars or thereabouts, and Mr., ZaCharlah
G. Pearson, Mayor of Hull, suffers in Ike
manner from too much tightness about
Wilmington, Charleston, &c Others
are expected to follow, The closing of
Wilmington has operated as disastrous
ly to rebel-sympathizing John Bull as
to rebel JeG. Davis-two birds killed
with one stone.
SUCCESS or THE 7-30 LoAN.-Our read
ers will notice that subscriptions to the
popular 7-3O Loan are still continued in
the most liberal manner, TO the Old
World the success of these Peoples
Loans is one of the wonders of a Repub-
lie. The Government does not seek to
borrow in foreign markets; it offers no
premiums to bankers, but appeals di-
rectly to the people, and with what sue
cess is sufficiently shown by the fact
that during forty-bIree days they sub
scribed and paid the cash down for one
htVsdrcd Sv'a si1ty-One million dollars of the
7-3O Loan. There can be no stronger
evidence of public confidence in Govern
ment securities While nearly all other
stocks have gone down from twenty to
fifty, and even greater per cent. within
few weeks, all forms of U. S. bonds
and stocks have remained firm, except
the slight fluctuations that are incident
to all rapid changes in the money mar
ket. Our readers will remember that
| the subscribers to the 7-30 loan receive
semi annual interest at the rate of seven
| and three tenths per cent. per annum in
currency, and at the end of three years
from June 10Th, 1865, they will have the
option of receiving payment in full or
converting their notes into $40 six per
cent. gold interest bond. The late great
decline in the premium on gold makes
these notes more desirable than ever as
IN investment, and their exemption
from state or municipal taxation adds
largely to their value. There is no in
terruption in the receipt of subscrip-
tions or the delivery Of the notes. All
banks, bankers, and others acting as
Loan Agents, will pay subscribers the
interest in advance from the day of sub
scriptiOn until June 10th

Exemption from Militia Service.
BRANDON, March 20, 1865.

BRANDON, March 20, 1865.
Editor Rutland Herald Enclosed with
this you will find letter from Adjltant
General Washburn which explains it
self, and which we think would be of
general interest if published, especially
to town authorities entrusted with the
duty of drafting under the provisions Of
our present militia act.
In some localities a different construc-
tlon has been given TO the clause of ex-
emption, on account Of sersise, and there
by those who should have been held to
service have been discharged and con
sequently others sworn and held who
should not have been.
But hereafter it surely seems that
there need be no further misunderstand-
ing in regard to the matter, for the re-
marks of Gen. Washburn are able and
convincing.

IMPORTANT ARREsT-BURaLARY AND
CHLoRoFoRM.-On Tuesday night, dar-
ing burglary was perpetrated at State
Line, Columbia County, on the Western
Railroad. The house Of Geo. Wilcox
was entered by burglars; the family
stupehed by chloroform and trunk con-
tanning S,2500 in valuables CARRIED off.
Suspicion was directed to parties in Troy
and Wilcox came to this city. The case
was well followed up by Detectives
Kipp, Hurlbut and Squire; and at IL
o'clock this morning young man whose
name proved to be James Sheldon was
arrested in Fulton street. Just as he
passed Dougrey's stable the officers
pounced ON him. A search of his room
showed quantity of gold, silver and
bills-some of which Mr.. Wilcox is pos
tive were stolen from him. The sum
thus recovered is between $500 and $500.

Troops FURNISHED BY VERMONT
From the report OF the Adjptant and
Inspector General it appears that up to
Sept. 80, 1864, the number of troops fur
nished by the State Of Vermont was
32,710. Since that time recruiting has
been constantly going on, so that at the
present date the number furnished by
the State must be in the neighborhood
of $4,000.

The PEOPLES LoAN.-At the begin
ming of the fifth year of this great war
for the Union, the people of the loyal
states subscribe to the National loans in
a manner which does not indicate very
great want Of confidence in the triumph
Of the Union cause, the stability of our
government or its ability to pay the ma
sonal debt. And this is as true of the
men of comparatively small means-the
laboring people-as Of any other class.
Witness this remarkable fact i'm the
sWo months of February and March
last, the whole number of fiftv and
one hundred dollar subscribers to the
seVen-thirty loan was one hundred and
sixteen thousand four hundred and nine
ty-three.

THE GRIT OF GRANT.-A peculiar kind
of grit, not falling under any Of the
special expressions | have noted, yet
partaking in some degree of all, is illus
trated in the character of Lieut., Gen.
Grant. Without an atom of pretension
or rhetoric, with none of the external
signs of energy and intrepidity, making
no parade of the immovable purpose,
iron nerve, and silent, penetrating intel
ligence God has put into him, his tran
quill greatness is hidden from superficial
scrutiny behind cigar, as President
Lincoln's is behind joke. When any
body tries to coax, calOle, overawe,
browbeat, or deceiveA lincoln, the presi-
dent nurses his leg, ard is reminded of
a story when anybody tries the same
game with Grant, the general listens
and-smokes If you try to wheedle
out of him his plans for campaign, he
stolidly smokes if you call him an
imbecile and blunderer, he blandly
lights another cigar if you praise him
as the greatest general living, he placid
ly returns the puff from his regalia and
if you tell him he should run for the
presidency, it does not disturb the equa-
'nimity with which he inhales and ex-
hales the unsubstantial vapor which
typiies the politicians promises. While
you are wondering what kind of man
this creature without tongue is, you
are suddenly electrified with the news
of some splendid victory, proving that
behind the cigar, and behind the face
discharged of all tell-tale expression, is
the best brain to plan and the strongest
heart to dare among the generals of the
Republic.-B. P. Hhipple, in "Alantir. y

GEN. GRANT ON THE "SITUATIoN. In
a recent letter to his father at Coving-
ton, KY, Gen, Grant says:
"We are now having warm weather,
aud think will be able to wind up mat
ters about Richmond soon. l am anX-
ious to have Lee hold on where he is
short time longer, so that can get him
into a position where he must lose a
great portion of his army. The rebel
lion has lost its vitality, and if am not
mistaken there will be no rebel army of
any great dimensions few weeks
hence. Any great catastrophe to any
of our armies would, Of course, revive
the enemy for a short time, but l expect
no such thing to happen"

Developments.
We have already published an account
of the appearance in q London court OF
Miss Constance Kent, TO confess to having
murdered her half brother five years sgo.
The following additional facts in relation
to the fearful tragedy and singular con-
fession we take from the London Star OF
the 5th;
Yesterday Miss Constance Kent was
brought before the magistrates at Trow-
bridge, and an extraordinary scene took
place. The evidence given at the previ-
Gus investigation was sgain gone into so
far as it related TO Miss Kent and the mis-
ing of her nightdress. Miss Cream and
and the Rev. Mr.. Wagner, were then
called. The former, st the commencement
of her examination, hoped the bench would
not press her to divulge private matters
which had been confded to her in the
capacity of a mother acting conhdentially
to 8 daughter and the Rev. Mr.. Wagner,
when called, positively refused TO make
known Whist had been conaded to him In
confession. The questions Of the msgis-
trsies however elected these facts: Miss
Kent TIRES weeks ago, confessed 70 Mr..
| Wagner that shehsd murdered her brother.
Miss Cream having heard of this, sent for
her, and pointed out to her the sin Of
which che had been guilty. Miss Kent
then confessed to her that she took htI
brother from his cot, while he was sleeping,
carried him out of the house by the draw
ing room window, and murdered him in
the water closet. The deed was committed
with 3 razor which she had stolen from
her fathers dressing case She Vas in her
night dress and admitted that she after
wards stole one of the night-dresses from
the dirty clothes basket as limited at in the
evidence. Further details we're, Of course
prevented from being made public by the
resolution 10 which Miss Cream and Mr.
Wagner had arrived. The bench, however
committed the prisoner for trial at the rex
Wiltshire sssizss, which will be held q
Salisbury. The calm demesnor Of thu
prisoner never once gave way du, ing th'
whole of the protrscted investigation
though the greatest excitement prevailed
in Court.
