THE TRANSCRIPT,
Friday, July ~, 1866.
University OF Vermont and State
Agricultural College.

The graduates and friends of the
University of Vermont will learn with
unfeigned pleasure that the corpora
ton have unanimously elected Prof
James b. Angel, of Providence, II. l.,
President, and that Mr.. Angel will
accept the position and enter on its
duties ut the commencement OF the
fall term. Mr.. Angel is young man
of fine scholarly attainments and cul-
ture, acquired in this country and Eu-
rope. For several years past he has
been connected with Brown UNIVERSE
ty, aa institution which for high schol-
arship takes front rank among the col
leges of the country Nor is he lack
ing in that which is so necessary for a
college president to possess-a tho
rough acquaintance with men and af
fairs outside of college walls He has
been editor Of the Providence Journal
for several years past, and those who
are accustomed to read that paper
know that it is one of the very best
published in the country. Gle is one, q"
to use the words of the Free Press,
"who, while in full sympathy with the
past spirit and proud traditions of the
University, appreciates also, most fully,
the demands presented by the new re-
lations of the institution, and the grow
ing call for increased attention to the
practical sciences.
We do not see why the University of
Vermont and State Agricultural Col
lege is not in fair way TO be placed
on firm footing. We 60 not see why
it cannot hold out inducements sufii-
cient to prevent our young men from
leaving the State to obtain a liberal
sodncation. And ii can be done. All
fhat is needed is proper management
on the part of those who have charge
of it. There is an impression quite
prevalent among young men seeking
collegiate education, that no feeling of
sympathy exists between the faculty
and students of the University of Yer
mont; and that they are treated, how
ever well they may conduct themselves,
eoldly and distantly, OF late years
the University has been running down
Its graduates, for some reason, take
but little interest in its prosperity, and
comparatively few take the time, how
ever much they have at their disposal
to visit their Alma Mater at com
mencement, which draws large gath
ering at other colleges. But let us
hope that the dark days of the U. V.
NJ are over. Let us hope that its
union VITA the State Agricultural Col
lege will infuse new life into it, and
that its faculty may be composed OF
wide-awake, practical scholars, and
christian gentlemen.
The corporation have already estab-
lished three new professorships: one q
professorship of Modern Languages
another of Analytical and Agriculture
Chemistry, third of Mineralogy, Gle
ography and Mining. Provision, it i
also announced, will be made for a
extended course of instruction in tn
several kinds of Drawing The corpo
ration seem to be taking hold of th
matter in earnest; and the best wishe
Of every graduate Of the "Old Brio
Mill will accompany them in thei
praiseworthy work.

INSULTING THE FLAe,-The Nashville
Press, in describing the insult to The
Union flag at Gallatin, on the Fourth
of July, by the inhabitants says.
The flag was not only torn down
but the disappearing and sacrilegions
Union haters actually tied one end q
il to the tail Of a COW and tie Other
end to the tail Of a dog, and then
drove them pellmell through the
streets, while the sacred symbol Of the
country was dragged through the dilt
and trodden under foot.

What Caused the Conversion ?

Editor Of ~ Transcript
Can you tell me why the Messenger
so suddenly deserted Mr.. Poland and
is now such friend Of Mr. Morrill, ?
What were the influences or induce
ments that were brought to bear on
the veteran publisher Of that paper.
OF course il could not be money, for
Mr.. Whiting is too Conscientious to re-
ceiye it for such Sc ryice. What then
is it A FRIEND OF juror POLAND.
Our correspondent asks us questions
that we are unable to answer. We
respectfully refer him to the veteran
publisher himself, who will, perhaps,
give him the desired information.

vanced here than with you. Apples
are ripe; green corn is ready for the
table; blackberries ARE abundant on
the street; tomatoes are ripening, &c,

but the nights are cool, and the ali
dry.

But the we'll considered and explicit terms
Of the Presidents talk TO the Montana delega-
ZION would seem TO exclude the idea of any COM
promise whereby the policy OF restoring the
Government TO its original principles Will be
ignored. No one will pretend that these bills

the President, and which, as he says, he can
afford 10 stand by.

The Franco Mexican. American imbroglio is
apparently settled. This will greatly help TO
r-stcrr financial confidence. To the practical
wisdom and craftsmanship of Presiden, john
son and Mr. Seward we owe this favorable
Jesuit. The United States are bound by every

ration - adhere strictly to our professed neu-
.yehty in regard to the internal conflict in
