application for pardon by the rebel general
Lee was made some months ago, but an ex-
animation ofthe records of ATTORNEY General S
office proves that no such application has yet
been filed. All the manifestation ofeoutrition
that General Lee has exhibited has been the
signing of an amnesty oath prior TO entering
upon the duties ofPresident Of the Washington

house about twelve hundred bushels of good
corn in the ear, and in addition to the pro-
duets Of the farm they have six barns full of
tobacco. The government, it is stated, pro-

LADIES' FURs-The New York Journal Of
Commerce estimates the entire fur business in
that city al not far from 81, 600, 900 per an
mum. in observing the fashions for 1866, it
rcmarks
" Furs are used extensively in ladies' APP
parel, more especially for trimming. In mode
garments the Eugenic collar takes the
lead as the regniDg style. 1t has taps in front,
and is deeper than former patterns. Cuffs are
little worn, owing to the close fitting sleeve
now in vogue. For youths the Siberian SPUR
rel is used extensively. Ermine is now only
a trife more expensive than the American
mink, which has come into high favor as a
rival to the foreign, full capes selling for $3.50
or $500, which before the war would not have
brought more than $500.

OPENING OF COLLEGES AT THE SouTH. 1t Ore
Of the pleasant signs Of the times at the close
of the year, and in the greatest possible con-
trast with the events which distinguished the
holidays year since, is the opening of so
many colleges and Institutions Of learning al
the South. Grand success is attending the
institution over which General Lee presides
at Lexington, Va. The Universit. - G.prgia,
located at Athens, will also> en
the 3rd day Of January, with the Dcst O Us
poets Of future usefulness. 1t need not take
long for wise men to prove that the pen is
mghtier than the sword, that institutions of
instruction are great improvements upon mar
tial law and fields of blood. One of the great
est colleges in the world-that at Leyden,
grew out of the terrible war in the Neither
lands, three hundred years since and the best
monuments that can now possibly be erected
by us are those, not for preserving old flags
and other trophies Of a divided people, but
monuments OF charity, affection, learning,
good will and noble brotherhood. We hail,
therefore, every school-house, seminary and
college at the Southas evidence that the sword
has done its work, and that hereafter science
art, agriculture, and every kind of moral and
mental Improvement, will be so cultivated as
to secure the common good of the whole
American people.-Phil. Ledger

support? The remark was made upon hear
ing Of its inception, by one Of our wlsest
and most esteemed citizens, that " il was the
most hopeful thing attempted in this place
Tor twenty years." Let us all labor and
pray for it: and most extensive and lasting
shall be the success Of this eminently hope
full enterprise.
After Prof. Buckham's exceedingly inter
esting but too brief address was finished short
and pertinent speeches were made by seyera
gentlemen present, Rev. Messrs. Worcester
Parker of Waterbury, and Goodrich, J. W.
Hickok, S. Huntington, Mai Davis, T. A
Fuller, and Pres. Angel of the U. V. NJ
the latter giving a very interesting ac-
count OF good accomplished within his OBJ
seryation By similar associations, and urging
upon the young men to avoid the only
danger which seems to threaten them, and
while not neglecting the inside work, earn
estly to extend the outside work which prop
" falls within the sphere of such an organ
izatiOn.
The exercises were enliyened by the sing
ing of several hymns, and were exceedingly
interesting. At the close, Mr.. Davis. the
President, rcmarking that the Union had
grown from fourteen members to more than
seventy, which had rendered necessary the
removal to larger quarters, said that in the
fitting up Of the Rooms now occupied they
had incurred debt of about $3.50; this
they trusted their christian friends would
assist them to pay, that no young man might
be deferred from joining them for fear Of
assessments he was not able to meet. Al
though called the Young Mems Christian
Union, because commenced and managed by
the young men. they would be glad to nun.
Der among them all the Christians Of the
city and desired at any rate the prayers
and active sympathy of each ore.
The Union we understand desires to raise
a fund Of 500 or $500 to pay debts already
incurred and to further fit up their rooms
and adapt them to their purposes. We have
no doubt they will raise it eIsily for no clear
headed person can fail to see how much good
will be accomplished by the outlay. Very
large sums have been subscribed and judi
eiously expended by such associations in
other cities; in Chicago no less than SIPS, 0O9
was raised in one month, and IN another city

the exception Of serenly-fre. This, when all
the imperfection Of regimental records, duplica-
ton Of some names and loss Of others, and all
the various chances for errors are considered,
is certainly doing astonishingly well, and the
fact speaks volumes for the precision and care
with which this important Office has been ad-
ministered under General WashbuTn.
The Legislature has gwen the use Of the ke-
representatives. Hall to the Congregational church
and Society here, Mr.. Lords, for Sabbath wor-
ship. The House, it will be remembered, while
the State House was in process Of reconstruc-
ton, had the free use Of the old brick Church,
for its sessions. Since the church was torn
down the congregation has used the " image
Hall" This, however, is small and ineommo-
dious, and moreover has been secured for good
part Of the session by a theatrical company
The resolution introduced by Senator BarstoW
Of Chittenden County, granting the use of the
Representatives Hall to the church, was there
fore thoughtful and proper proceeding and
its adoption was a matter Of course
The attention of the citizens Of the capital
il directed to Church construction, 10 re-
marsahle extent. The Universalists have Ilst
complete. neat and tasteful wooden edlhce--
The foundations are rising for Mr.. Loris ne"
church-whieh Will be the most expensive
church edifce in Vermont, with the exception
Of the new Catholic Cathedral in Burlington,
The plan is a very striking one-to say the
least. As to the good taste Of some Of its Iea-
lures, such as the placing of the high tower AZ
the rear Of the Church the vestry at right
angles with the main building and facing the
main street, while the Church proper faces on
q side street, &c, opinions differ widely. II
will be a very fine building, anyhow, built o.
the red stone from the Burlington quarries'
with trimmings Of the Isle IA Mott blue stone,
snd will cost, presume, at least serenity hous-
and dollars, completed
The Episcopalians also have broken ground
for new church building and strange to say,
leave the very pleasant and suitable site occu-
pied by their present church opposite the State
House grounds, for a crampel and awkward To-
cation among the stores on State street near the
bridge They build OF blue stone | believe.
The Baptists also are moving IN the matter or
the permanent establishment ola church here
1t has been often n matter ofsurprise and re-
mark that SO large and influential a denomiua-
ton should have no church At the Capital Of
the State. Various attempts 20 establish one on
a firm footing, hereto ore, have, however. failed
OF late a small congregation has been gathered,
who have met for Sabbath services in tie Court
House, and have secured the services Of Rev.
y. p. Foster, formerly cf Burlington.
The Baptist State Convention has this week
made an Appropriation Of $500. for sustaining
the Society, which will ensure the support Of
worship for the year, and the society are talk
ing Of raising the funds for the erection Of "a
church.

The BARTON STANDARD AND THE CONCREs-
SIGNAL QUEsTIoN.-The Barton Standard has
again changed owners, having been pur-
chased by its former proprietor Mr.. a, y.
EARLE, who has been desirous of returning
to Orleans County, and secured from it, late
owners an offer which he accepted. The
Standard will, unque.tonably still be
as outspoken and fearless an opponent Of
political corruption and q the ring" as it
has been under Gen and Mai Grout In
bis yaledictory Maj. Grout says;
To our mind the canvass growing out Of this
question has involved much more of principle
than the people have, thus far, been willing to
acknowledge. To us, it has not seemed to be
matter Of no consequence that a man has arisen
in our midst, to the enjoyment Of our confidence
and OF hOnors, ours 10 bestow, who gathers
about hima set Of office holders. to do he bid
ding and maneuver for his continuance in office
beyond all precedent, and against the protest of
large numbers Of his constituents. To cur mind
/; is no small matter that our Representative in
Congress is confronted by three respectable citi
zens of the District who give the particulars Of
"A NfAuctCllNu u WHICH mas ut0u Ge
clared by Congress to be punishable by fine and
Imprisonment in the States Prison. No; Gll
these things to our mind have been matters Of
some moral consequence; and we have felt that
no people having a spark of pride about
the reputation of their Representative in Con-
gress would consent to return such an one; nor
would they consent TO return a man who like
sucking clings to the office after Il is high time
he was weaned We felt it to be our duty
to protest against this monopoly OF Offices
and their honOrs; and against this political and
official corruption. And we have protested. If
any feel disturbed on account Of the course we
have taken, it is certainly bad for them; but
before they pronounce judgment against US, we
recommend to them examination OF the
course they are pursuing, and ask them to salts
fly themselves, that they are not upholding in
the most public manner, in their very midst,
official rottenness of the most putrescent kind
But enough; we leave this question to time,
which is a great leyeler. and shall be disap-
pointed if public sentiment does not yet pre-
ponderate in Orleans Co, which shall pronounce
the course the press has pursued in this Con
gressional quarrel, the true one. We will say,
however, in this connection, that Mr. Earle is
an anti-B Baxter man, an older and stronger one
than we are, or ever expect to be; because an
older and stronger man. Had not this been so,
We should not have sold at this particular time,
40 matter how good terms we could have made. |
