train the next day after the Convention.
Now that the fog has cleared away, we find
that no nomination was formally made, the
Convention having adjourned without the
nominating Committees having made re-
port. There was much excitement and con-
siderable confusion at the Convention. which
the friends of Mr.. Hoyt seem to have taken
advantage of, and so moved and carried the
motion for an adjournment As the case
now stands both Hoyt and Baxter are in the
field, and the decision will be made at the
polls who wins.
Most of the papers of the State that have
spoken on the subject are opposed to Mr..
Baxter, very few being found willing to sup
port man who is openly charged with such
unlawful and corrupt practices. We hope
the day is distant when the press of Yer
mont will be found so venal as to support
unprinciplcd men for public trusts. We UNI
derstand that Mr.. Hoyt is a man Of fair
ability, and is an honest man. If he is SO.
let him be chosen. 1t is, however, due in
justice to Mr.. Baxter, and to his wife also
to say, that they were exceedingly kind, at
tentive and generous to the soldiers during
the war, and that very many have cause to
remember them with affection and grati-

VoYngc OF The Yacht Alice.

A letter from southampton, England,
gives the following account Of the voyage
Of the Alice, a yacht owned by Mr. t, ID
Appleton of this city, and commanded by
Captain Arthur II. Clark, which left Ma
hant on the 18th of July and arrived at
Cowcs on the Both ult., making the remark
able passage across the Atlantic Ill nine
teen days six hours and twenty minutes.
For three days, of the banks of New
loundland. she encountered heavy gales,
and found that she was in company with
LARGE vessels under reefs during the storm,
nossinp them with double reeied mainsail
and bonnet on thejib. The remainder of
the passage the Alice had favorable winds
with only two days calm weather. The
wind was generally from the southwest and
northwest. The Alice is the only yacht
that has crossed the Atlantic with her rae
ing sails. This is said to be the quickest
passage on record, The Alice was built in
Boston, and is the smallest yacht belonging
TO the New York squadron that has ever
crossed the Atlantic. She is twenty-seven
tons American measurement, illty-three
feet long, seventeen feet six inches beam,
and draws six feet two inches of water.
She spreads 1900 yards of canvas. AT the
recent race in Boston she came in n good
second, being beaten by only four minutes
by a much larger boat, The Edwin Forrest,
pilot boat. 1t is expected that the Alice
will contend in some Of the rcgattas with
the English yachts in this country.
When only n short distance from the
American coast, inward bound steamers,
vessels and pilot boats hailed The Alice
supposing she had been blown ont TO sea,
and We're greatly surprised when they
learned she was bound on a voyage across
the Atlantic. When about half way across

Expenses.

Though the country abounds with the
necessaries of life; though business is pros
porous and money plenty; though labor is
in demand and wages are high, yet many
find it difficult to make both. ends of the year
meet. All kinds of provision and clothing
bear high price, taxes are heavy, and the
various expenses incident to the present
modes of living and the extravagant GUS
toms Of society, swell the amount of ones
yearly expenses to an alarming.sdegree
During the war almost every fanny con-
tributed largely to its expenses in various
ways, giving time, money, clothing, &C., for
the benefit of our soldiers, and as cloth of
every description was very dear, many neg
lected to purchase so as to keep up a full
supply for personal and family use. And
now that the war is over and those extra
labors and OUTLAWS are not needed, many find
it no small burden to furnish themselves and
families with those articles of apparel and
domestcuse necessary to supply their wants.
These things taken into consideration econ
omy in expenses becomes an urgent duty.
We should take upon ourselves no needless
burdens. We should impress upon the minds
of our legislators the necessity of economy
Outlays not essential to the public welfare
should be discountenanced. Men of pru.
dence, of discretion of habits of economy
should be called to fill public offices, so that
we shall be in no danger of being drawn in
to any measures ofextravagant outlay, much
less into speculative schemes for the benefit
of men who would shape legislative meas
ures to further private ends. And so when
any measure is brought before our State
Legislature or our National Congress re-
quirng an outlay that would add to the bur
dens of the people, the questions this ex-
pense necessary? should have its due weight
in settling the question. Economy econo-
nv! should be the watchword

TURNER'S FALLS WATER-PowER Com
PANY.-As our readers are aware. n com
pany has purchased the water-power and
adjoining land at Turner's Falls. in Monto-
que, on the Connecticut river, and are buiid-
ing dam across the river near the plnco oe
the old one, and making preparations 70
build up large manufacturing town The
building of the dam is rapidly approaching
completion. One hundred and thirty-two
men are employed upon the work. The dam
IS built in two parts, one part extending from
the Gill shore, in n southwestcrly direction
to the rocky island in the centre Of the river.
and the other part from the rocky island.
which is several feet above the level of the
top of the dam, to the Montague shore. near
the head of the old canal. The Gill portion
of the dam is nearly completed. and one set
of hands are now at work building n Golfer
dam for the purpose of turning the water
on to the Gill side, so that the Montague end
of the dam can be built. Another set of
hands are engaged in blasting out the ledge
at the head of the old canal for bukhcad.
and another set in dressing stone for the
bulkhead. 1t is intended TO have the dam
completed this fall, and when it is done the
water-powcr will be the cheapest and best
upon the Connecticut river. Everything
about the dam and bullhcad is being done
III inc most substantial manner The dam
is 10 feet in height, 100 feet long, and built
of heavy timber and plank, filled in with
stone and on a rocky foundation. Over / :
100000 feet Of timber will be used in build
ing it. The bulkhcad is to be 80 feet wide
and 10 feet deep, and built of Mortified
granite dressed. The company own 700
acres Of land, beautifully located for build
ing purposes. The entire fall of water is 70
feet The cost,of the lands, water privilege
and dam TO the company will be about $780,
QUO, which is not one-quarter what the Ho-
yoke water-power and land cost, and will
enable the company to sell power and land
to manufacturers, who desire q good head
and never falling supply of water, at lower
rates than can be purchased elsewhere in
New England. The drouth of the past few
years has admonished manufacturers that if
they desire constant supply of water, that
they must locate on large streams, like the
Connecticut, and we look for rapid sale of
the water-power at Turner's Falls as soon
as the dam and canal are completed.
The work at the Falls is under the charge
of c. w. Francis of Lowell, as engineer;
George w. Potter Of Greenfield, as general
agent, and Thomas J. Emory Of Maine, as
foroman.-GreeHfeh Gazette.

PERsONAL.-We have roceiy cd n long
communication from our esteemed CORES
pondent at New Orleans, relating to DR.. p.
b. Randolph, who is understood to be sta
toned now at Bennington, VT, soliciting
funds to establish school at New Orleans.
The writer intimatcs that Mr.. Randolph
is not the person to whom any funds for the
purposes of education in that city should be
entrusted, and says: "Such moneys, if con-
tributcd, should either be sent to the Gencr-
al Superintendent Of Education, or TO the
Assistant Commissioner of the Frcedmcn's
Bureau Department" There is pamphlet
in circulation headed, "a Sud CaseW "a
Great Wrong" in which Mr.. Randolph is
endorsed by large number of prominent
men, and is highly recommended. We think
it well, however, for persons applied TO to
furnish him funds, to satisfy themselves
thoroughly of his responsibility, before Civ
ing him any considerable amount. We must
keep sharp lookout these days lest we get
humbuggcd.

EDITORS, like other shrcwd men. must
live with their eyes and ears open. The fol-
lowing is told of one who started a paper
in western town. The town was Infested
by gamblers, whose presence was asource of
annoyance to the citizens, who told the editor
that ifhe did not come out against them they
would not patronize his paper. lie replied
that he would give them a'smasher'' next
day Sure enough, his next issue contained
the promised "smashcr - and On the follow.
ing morning the redoubtable editor, with
scissors in hand, was seated in his sanctnm,
when in walked large man. with Il horse
whip in hand. who demanded to know if the
editor was in. "No SIR was the reply. she
he has stepped out Take a seat, and read
the papcrs-hc will return in a minute"
ownset the indignant man Ofcards, crossed
his legs with his whip between them, and
commenced reading the paper In the
meantime the editor quietly slid down stairs,
and at the landing he met another man with
a cudgel in his hand who asked if the editor
was in? Yes sir'was the quick response;
''you will find him seated up stairs, reading
anewspaper." The latter on entering the
room, with Il furious oath. commenced Vi
olcnt assault upon the former which was re-
sisted with equal fcrocity. The fight was
continued till they had both rolled TO the
foot ofthe stairs, and had pounded each other
to their hearts content.

County BIsilNimgs.

1t will be seen by an advertisement in
our paper TO day that Il proposition is to be
brought before the legislature at the com
ing session to remove the County buildings
from Ncwfane to Brattlcboro. This pro-
position we suppose to be a countcr-blast
to that of forming new County, taking
towns from tbs northern part of Windham
and the southern part of Windsor County.
We presume that none of the towns in this
county, unless it be those which it is pro-
posed to add to the new county, will be in
favor of the formation of another county,
and we do not think that all of these will
favor it. 1t seems to us unnecessary and
unwisc at this time to disturb the present
limits of Windsor and Windham counties.
1t is a good practical maxim "to let well
enough alone" Should the project of for
ming new county fail we presume nothing
will be done in regard to the removal of the
county buildings.
However, it may be well for the several
towns in the county TO consider both these
proposals, and to be ready to act in the
premises understandingly. We are glad
that notice is given thus early of these in
tended proposals. so that the several towns
may be prepared to choose representatives
to the legislature, who will do justice to the
subjects good and strong men, who will
act efficiently and in the right direction. In
the location of public buildings the public,
the great mass of the people who have bust
ness to transact, should be accommodated,
and not simply one individual town, or one
class or set of men.

and whereas. the United States, in accor-
dance with their settled habits and policy
are neutral power in regard to the war
which thus afllicts the republic of Mexico
and whereas, it has become known that one
of the belligerents in said war, namely, the
Prince Maximiliam, who asserts himself to

co, which decree is in the following words
THE port of Matamoras, and all those OF
the northern frontier which have withdrawn
from their obedience to the government, are
closed to foreign and coasting traffic during
such time as the empire shall not be therein
reinstated. Merchandise proceeding from
said ports, or arriving at any other where
the excise OF the empire is collected, shall
pay the duties on importation, introduction

of contravcntion shall be irremissably con-
fiscated. Our minister of the treasury is
charged with the punctual execution of this
decree. Given at Mexico, the 9th day OF

Now, therefore, |, Andrew johnson
president of the United States, do hereby

ARM In ARAI.-Tho dispatches from
Philadelphia tell us that the delegates IRON
Massachusetts and South Carolina entered
the wigwam yesterday farm in arm so
thoroughly is the reconciliation and amity
cemented by the new movement This is
the state of feeling between the sections for
which we have long been anXiously wishing.
and we welcome any sign of it-provided it
means anything.
But some things induce us 10 think that the
millennium has not come yet, in spite of the
lion and the lamb lying down together.
For eXample-there was in this city yester-
day refugee from New Orleans, a peace
able business man, who with several others
has Just been warned to leave the city for
the offence of being union man, One of
these persons, whose lives are not safe I'M
der the Stars and Stripes, had been resi-
dent of New Orleans for twenty years OF
more. When we find that men who love
their country are not threatened with lynch-
inc therefor in Southern cities. we snail
think much more of that as aprooi OF recon-

and GOV. Perry, or Mr.. Spoiiord and Gen.
