THASKsoIvIse-DAY was very quiet here,
and observed by appropriate services in all
the churches but one, and attended by audi
ences unusually large for such day. We
can speak only Of the services in the Congre-
gationsl Church, which we're made exceed
ingiy interesting by selections Of music ad-
mirably adapted to the occasion and pesuii-
fully performed, and by one of the most brill
liant and eloquent discourses ever delivered
by Mr.. Lord. From Isaiah S2:lS as his
text, after 6ty alluding to the motives for
universal thanksgiving furnished by the ces-
sation ofcivil war and the restoration Of peace,
he considered our peculiar motives for thanks
giving as Vermonters. VERMONT was Of
course his theme, and never was that theme
so splendidly handled. To use the phrase
Of stranger, man of high culture and unu'
sual powers OF eloquence, " it was grand. y
Mr.. Lord will do good service to the State il
he will either give this discourse to the press,
or deliver it as lecture in different portions
Of the State. We venture to say that no
lecture equal to it, for both interest and VAL
ue, will be delivered in any Of the courses
during the winter.

A letter from Agusta, Ga, in the Chicago
Tribune. says;
The people of this city and vicinity are
usually exercised about the pardon of JEFF,
Davis. There are two classes. A young
man, representative of one class, who had
been major in the rebel service, said to me
last evening 1 believe President Davis and
Gen. Lee the two greatest men of the present
generation, and feel like fighting every time
think how Mr.. Davis is kept shut up in
Fortress Monroe, and every time hear the
great and good Lee maligued by the Yankees.
An elderly gentleman who lives few miles
below the city, and who was delegate in
the late convention. said the other day, in q
stage wherein | was a passenger: Mr.. Da-
Wis ought to be hung, but not by theYankees; !;
he was the Marplot of our cause, and he ought
20 be hung not for treason, but for his cursed
naismang gsment IN the Presidential office IN the
Confederaey; we should have succeeded but
for his obstinacy; and his favoritism toward
every man we distrusted and every man who
proved himself incompetent did US more harm
than Yankee guns ever did, This gentleman
represents tbe second class, which is Just as
anxious for Mr.. Davis pardon as the first
named"

Repeating the old Statement that the South
beliered that if the Republicans obtained con-

power would be used to extirpate slavery, be
says:
'It was not difficult, under such state Of
circumstances as this, for the Confederate lead
ers 10 prevail upon the Southern people to secede
and to declare themselves independent Of the
North. And this task was rendered still easier
by the iniudicious course pursued by Mr.. Lincoln
and his Administration from December, 1900.
t. May, 1861 Ten words from Mr.. lincoln in
December or January, would have prevented
secession. They were not spoken. A single
paragraph from his pen before March, would
have aveIted the war. Il was not written. II
was in his power, in his inaugural address, TO
have COMPOUNDED the Confederate leaders, and to
have rendered them powerless for mischief, by
removing from the minds Of the Southern peo-
ple.the conviction that their dearest rights were
in danger. He did not embrace that opPor-
tunity.'
What were the plans of the rebel leaders
when they broke up the Charleston Demo
cratic Convention, and what their conduct
afterwards. and also what Mr. Lincoln did
say in his inaugural, are matters Of history,
and they furnish no basis for "Druid's" ar

BURNING OF TRANSPORT STEANER-FIvE
HUNDRED LIVES LOsT.-On the 3lst ult., the
United States transport, Gen Lyon. with
troops and refugees on board, to the number
of $50, took fire of Cape Hatteras, and was
consumed with nearly all on board
The FIRE broke out at about ten O'Clock on
FRIDAY morning from light coming in con-
tact with barrel of kerosene in tina porter's
room, and, spreading with great rapidity,
within half an hour, the vessel was com
pletely in flames. All the efforts Of the
mate and few Of the crew, to extinguish
the FIRE, were rendered ubortiye by the af-
frighted passengers. men and women. who
ran about the deck. and thus prevented
timely application Of the means Of safety
till all means were too late to be ofany avail.
The captain erred, The ship is gone-lower

lowed
Besides the first boat lowered thlre were
two others got clear of the steamer, contain

were all that escaped. There We're about
fifty women and children on board, refugees
coming North, bat not one was saved, One
boat was launched by the captain Of the
Gen Lyon. assisted by some soldier. hut
was instantly stove, the captain being killed.
Others succeeded in getting over a metallic
life boat, into which they and two or three
others got. The boat, however, was in
stantly upset, they beng unable TO detach
the painter from the burning steamer, and
all on board but one were drowned Great

HELP FOR THE WOUNDED.

No victory of our armies, however elo-
nous, but brings sorrow to many. This
thought should stimulate all to greater ex-
ertions in helping on those marvels Of syste-
matte benehcenee, the Sanitary and Christian
Commissions In no way can relief be so
quickly and well sent to the thousands Of
wounded soldiers who within week have
found themselves in hospitals, as through
these agencies. 1t ought to be, that the
foresight and sympathy of the people should
keep their stOrehOuses full, so that as soon
as battle commences ample means Of relief
may be at their disposal. But alas, it is too
often not till after the battle, that we begin
to think of the wounded Let the more dill
igence be used now. The Christian Com
mission needs help at once, the stores of the
Sanitary Commission are rapidly being er-
hausted.
We desire also to call the attention of the
public to the need of supplying funds for the
New England Rooms, at New York, of which
Col. Frank E. Howe is Superintendent The
amount of good done by this Association has
been very large, and the amount TO be done
is no less. Contributions may be sent TO the
Treasurer OF the Association. S. E. Low, 81

upon as a proper rate

In connection with the above. we will call
the attention of the people generally, to the
Act of the last annual session of the Legisla-
ture, which materially amends the General
Statute relating TO the duty Of listers and
taxpayers. The old statute required the
listers, in case they assessed taxes upon any
person, to leave notice at their abode or usu-
al place of business, where appeals would
be head but this clause is now repealed.
and the listers are only required 10 post
public notice of such hearing and leave a
copy of the same with the town clerk. An
other section Of the new law Is ss foliows.

THE WEEKLY FREE PRES :


Richmond Is taken and the Flag Of our

four years of war. after fighting over ne,rly
all the State Of Virginia, the Army of the
Potomac has reached the point so long stri-

For the last year Gen. Grant has been

the Sd Of Nav 1864 the army commenced TO

from the Wilderness TO Richmond. On the

slowly stretched out bis army around the
city, gaining step by step until the Success

Grants operations are not confined to the
armies around Richmond. Gen. Stoneman
is coming into southwestern Virginia from
Knoxville. The Lynchburg Firginian of
March 29th, said that ''the enemy-we sup
pose Stoncman's cavalry-have fanked Bris-
tol, leaving it to the left, and are passing by
way Of Taylorsville il the direction of Glade
Spring.
"TaylOrsville is in johnson county, Tenn.
In the extreme northeastern corner of the
State. of course this movement will COM
pei the evacuation Of Bristol -
Later advices report Stoneman at Boone.
n c., last week Monday. Boone is in
Wautauga county, in the northwest part Of
the State, west of the Blue Ridge. From
thence he may have moved either east TO-
wards Greensboro or Danville, or northeast
towards Lynchburg, II either case seriously
obstructing the flying army of Gen. Lee.
