GES. LEE As A COLLEGE PREsDENT.-
4 correspondent of the Richmond
Times, writing from Lexington, Va,
gives an inside view Of the life and
daily routine Of Gen. Lee, the college
president When the position was
first offered to him, he declined it;
but after Judge Brockenbrough had
visited him, and explained the wishes
of the faculty, he accepted it in good
faith, and has since made himself re-
markably popular with the students.
Although his salary is small, he ie-
ceives a great many presents from I'M
known parties, consisting Of almost
every imaginable article, from books
and pictures, to clothing and proyi-
sions In society he is not at oil un
social, yet very cautious in converse
ton, and seldom expresses his opin-
ions on national topics. He Is very
much annoyed by artists requesting
him to sit for his picture or bust, and
on one occasion he was heard to de-
clare that he had rather stand the fire
of half dozen of the best marksmen
in the Army OF Northern Virginia than
be vexed by the continued solicitations
of this class of people He is busy in
collecting materials for history of
his campaigns, and the fact that a
New York publisher visited him few
days since is regarded as proof that
the work is now in process of compile
ton. His habits are said to be very
industrious. AS early as six o'clock
in the morning he may be seen walk
ing into town to get his letters and pa
pers; the remainder of the day is de-
voted to his manifold duties, and in
the evening he rides into the country
on his white horse, not unfrequently
stopping to converse with the farmers
and the country gentlemen, with
whom he chances to meet, about crops
and such matters,

Centennial Celebration at Middle.
bury,

The Centennial Celebration on the
farm of Jonathan Seeley, Esq. four
miles south of the village of Middle
bury, where the first clearing in Mid
dlebury was made by John Chapman
in the summer of 1866, was held July
ith, in a beautiful grove In the alb
sence of the Hon. Samuel Swift, Presi-
dent of the Day, by reason of debility,
Hon John w. Stewart presided. A
salute of 3G guns was fired at sunrise
on Chipman's Hill, under the direction
of Col A. S. Tracey, and Fairs band
furnished excellent instrumental music
during the exercises, and Mr.. T.. =.
Philips, of st. Adams, sang an appro-
pirate solo, and Mr. Higley, of Castle
ton, played the accompaniment. After
pray er, by Rev CeDhas II. Kent OF
Riptou, an deliberately prepared adj
dress was pronounced by Prof Brain
erd Kellogg of Middlebury College
A highly finished and appropriate
poem by Mrs. Seneca NJ. Dorr, OF
Rutland. was read, which was cordially
welcomed by the large audience Of
nearly two thousand persons in atten-
dance A picnic in the grove then
followed, after which, sentiments pre-
pared by the committee, through it;
chairman, p. Battell, Esq, were re
sponded to by Messrs. Henry Clark
of Poultney, and George f. Houghton
of ST. Adams The exercises were al
this stage beautifully diversified by {
series Of showers which scattered tho
large auditory.
The steamer Valley Queen conveyed
passengers to and from Middlebury
village through the day.
On the whole, this cntennial cele-
bration was a decided success. The
address and poem, with the other ex-
ercisos OF the occasion, will nndoubt-
edly be published at an early day.

Mr.. M0rrill's Speech.

The recent speech Of Mr.. Morrill,,
chairman Of the Committee of Ways
and' Means, in the House, on the tariff
bill, has produced deep impression
The New York Tribune says;
We most earnestly commend to gen
eral attention the speech of Mr.. Nor
rill on the tariff, which will be found
in full in our congressional report.
There have been speeches delivered in
the House more ornate and rhetorical
than this, but seldom a speech of
sounder practical wisdom, more crowd
ed with information, more instructive
in its statements. We should like to
ask the free traders to forego for once
their habitual abuse and invective, and
to make an effort to answer honestly
this impregnable array of facts and ar
guments demonstrating the necessity
of protective policy for the develop
ment of American industry, and the
promotion of national prosperity
They must either try to do this, or
they must suppress this speech, and
we are compelled to suppose they will
choose the latter alternative. What
can be said in reply to the exhibition
of our losses by war, requiring to be
supplied by encouragement Of domes-
tic manufacture; to the forcible pre-
sentation of the evils of an inflated
currency which amounts to more than
900,000,000 of dollars upon which our
importers grow rich at the expense OF
our artisans and laborers The nation
struggles under the burden which is
laid on it, and which free-trade poll
cy would perpetuate. Our country
formerly one of the cheapest, is be-
come one of the dearest places to live
in. Once it was the paradise of hon
est labor to-day it is the paradise o
dishonest speculation, and Mr.. Morril
shows us how necessarily the contrac
ton of distended currency and the
adoption of a protective tariff go hanC
in hand, and are each essential to tn,
other, and both to the future welfare
of the country. Mr.. Morrills speech
is not less instructive in respect to tbs
details of the bill than in respect K
the principles upon which it is found
Cd, and while we may differ with hin
in some particulars, we agree mos
heartily that the tariff bill will be
blessing if adopted substantially as re
ported from committee, and that Their
is most urgent need of speedy actor
upon ii ia both houses

We do not see that there is anything
very dscouraging in the defeat of the
Italian army in front of Verona The
Italians fought against great odds, the
Austrians having altogether the adj
vantage of position but all accounts
agree that they fought bravely and
well. One corps-the frst--did all the
fighting; the other two, for some rea-
son, being unable to render it any aid.
Overcome by superior numbers, after
fighting an entire day, the Italian com
mander found it necessary to withdraw
his troops across the Mincio. The
war correspondent of the London
Times regards the undertaking of the
Italians as foolhardy. 1t says, "The
Italians, we are assured, behaved with
great heroism, and no doubt, although
they lost the day, they came off with
out loss of honor. An advance across
the Mincio, right into the heart of the
Quadrilateral, is an enterprise which
no other European army, under such
circumstances, have ventured upon;
but frenzy to do something seems to
have possessed the whole Italian ma
ton, and the men in command could
think of nothing better than dashing
their heads against those formidable
stone walls" At any rate, the Italians
have shown admirable fighting quail
ties, and their temporary reverse will,
we believe, result in a glorious victory
to them.

Political Conventions.

The Union Republican voters Of the
First Congressional District of the
State meet in mass convention at
Middlebury on the 18th of August, for
the purpose of nominating q candi-
date to represent said District in the
next Congress. 1t is thought that
the Hon. L, f. Woodbridge will be re-
nominated, although, for some reason,
considerable opposition has sprang up
against him.
The Republicans of Addison county
held their convention ut AIiddlebury
on the 29th ult., and nominated Lu-
cius f. Smith, of Monkton, and Mar
Gus O. Porter, of Cornwall, for Sena-
tors. The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted;
Resolved. That the thanks of the
people of the State of Vermont and
the whole Union, are due to the Hon.
Justin S. Morrill,, for his long-con-
tinued and arduous services as a rep
resentative in Congress; Therefore
Resolved, That our County Senators
be, and they are hereby instructed to
use their influence to elect Justin S.
Morrill, to represent the State of YER
mont in the Senate OF the United
States.
On motion Of the Hon. James NJ
Slade, the convention instructed the
Senators to vote for the Hon. George
Il. Edmunds as Mr.. Foot's successor
in the United States Senate
No preference for senator's was ex
pressed by the Bennington County
Convention. The senatorial nominee,
are Ira Cochrane, of Dorset, and II
G.. Root, of Bennington, the latter o
whom is well known to be an earnes
advocate of Mr. Morrill,
Notwithstanding all that has beel
said to the contrary, there was
strong Morrill, feeling manifested b,
the Republicans Of Rutland county a
{ their convention. A resolution severed,
( cehsuring the Herald for its course
; was very properly voted down.
The Republicans of Essex count
held their convention on the Goth ult
, and put in nomination for Senate
George n. Dale.

Bay- With what exultation and pride
the Mason tells you of the mighty
growth of his order, of thousands of
lodges and hundreds and thousands of
members, spread everywhere over the
worlds broad area. Nor does he ex-
agerate. In this world of ours, in this
year of grace 1866, there are at q
rough calculation, over 100000. OF
this number 100000 are in Europe;
10000 in Asia; $4,000 in Africa; 600,-
600 in North and South America, and
in these United States about 100000.
Illinois has $4,000, divided into about
500 lodges.

Gen. Sweeny His Address.

Gen. Swecny still has his "head
quarters" at the Weldon House. The
statement so freely circulated that
Commissioner Hoyt has refused to re-
ceive bail IL his case is not true The
fact is, Gen Sweeny refuses to be
bailed unless his companions are re-
leased at the same time, and as no bail
has been offered for them, the Com
missioner cannot Of course comply
with the request.
Gen Sweeny publishes an address
to the members of the Fenian Brother
hood in America, dated St Adams,
July 4th, 1866, in which he defends his
course. He says: Tomorrow we've
! in position to move again, to none
would ! ontrust, and on mono would |
depend more for the faithful and eff
cient protection of my plans than on
the American born citizens on the
frontier; and in connection with the
above / now, on behalf Of myself and
the Brotherhood, return them all col
lectively and individually my sincere
thanks for their manly and indepen-
dent efforts in support of republican
ism and the disenthralment OF an en-
shaved people We quote further:
Brothers, beware of the trickster
the politician and the charlatau. ON
organization is an organization of pro
gross. 1t is not the NJ C.'s who will
effect any good for Ireland; no, it is
the soldier, the hardy laborer, the
mechanic. and the advance Of public
opinion opposed to slavery and in fa-
vor of universal liberty. In all ouI
relations with men who may differ
with you in opinion on the subject Al
issue, never forget that you are patriots
AND gentlemen. 1t is only in the alb
sence of proof, reason and logic tina
the bigot and would be despot has t.
descend to personalities, elimination!
and vtuperations, No gentleman vii
use these cowardly weapons which
only make an impression on the ig
norant, the. weak, the useless and th'
selfish. The bearing of the soldier o
, the !. r. A. should be lofty and indie
pendent; his race is inferior to none
his mission is us grand, as Legitimate
and as holy as was ever blessed by til,

matters not their position if they ar'

VERMONT. - Our Representatives in
Congress were all invited to attend the
celebration of the Fourth in Rutland.
We clip the following truthful tribute
to Vermont from Senator Edmunds
reply, which is published, with other
letters, by the Rutland Herald
The near approach of an adjourn
ment, and the pressure of business
consequent thereon, will prevent my
having the pleasure of accepting your
kind invitation. The principles Of lib
erfy and equality enunciated on that
day are soon, trust, to be applied II,
all their Jreadth, to the whole people of
this country, as they have been from
the beginning, in our Green Mountain
State. Her statute books have never
been blotted with any law infringing
the rights of man. And SO. as the
growth and harvest follow the seed
time, she has come by steady progress
to her present high estate; her people
more generally educated, property
more equally distributed, industry and
prosperity more thoroughly practiced
and enjoyed, vice and pauperism and
vagrancy more rare, than in almost
(if not quite any other State or coup-
try, and her politics, founded upon the
truths Of that great day, more true and
steadiast than the needle to the pole
star.

NrwspArrRrA1.- The cnterprising
proprietor of the Burlington Daily
Times has found it necessary to en-
large his paper in order to meeS the
increasing demand for advertising
space. The Times is conducted with
ability and tact, and we are certainly
glad TO see the evidence OF prosperity
which the enlargement SO clearly evin-
cos Burlington can boast of two ex-
ccllent dailies, and the one being a
morning and the other an evening
paper, we do not see why the pros
perity of the one should necessarily
interfere with-that Of the other.
The Rutland County Independent is
the name of new paper to be started
at Rutland on the 14th inst, by Messrs.
Mclean e Robbins. The specimen
copy" before us is very handsomely
printed, and contains goodly amount
of reading matter. The publishers
thus define their politics: Whenever
we venture with our craft into the sea
of politics, it will be in defence o.
those principles which now and evei
have honored and distinguished Yer.
mont as the home OF true aud honest
freemen, and made the name of the
Green Mountain State the synonym
/ of Liberty"

Sc. Adams Public Library.

A meeting of the Trustees of the st.
Adams Public Library, first estab-
lished upon the liberal bequest of the
late Henry j. Hunt, Esq, of Chelsea,
Mass. was holden at the Library
Room on the evening of June Goth,
1866. Mossrs. Hiram Bellows, Vic
tor Atwood, James SAKE, John W.
Hobart, Matthew G.. Elliott, George
Il. Houghton, and j. S. ID. Taylor,
present, and adopted code of by
laws which, together with copy of
Mr.. Hunts will, are hereafter to be
published and distributed, with an Off
cial catalogue of the books of the Ii
brary.
The following officers were then
elected:
Victor Atwood, President; John S.
ID. Taylor, Secretary; Hiram Bellows,
Treasurer
Mr. Cassius ID. Farar was then APP
pointed Librarian for the year ending
on the first Tuesday of March, 1867.
The following committees were du-
ly elected:
Book Committee. George f. Hough-
ton, John w. Hobart and Worthing-
ton G. Smith.

Mathew G. Elliott and Joseph d.
Soule.
The duty of the Book Committee,
defined by the bylaws, is "to select

they think suitable to be added to the
library, or removed therefrom, or re-
paired; and by vote of the Board
of Trustees, procure, remove or re-
pair the same, solicit and receive dona-
tons, and generally to see that the
provisions of the viii of Henry j.
Hunt, Esq, the founder of the Public
Library, be fulfilled
The business of the Library Com.
mittee is to procure suitable rooms and
furniture for the library, keep the
same in good repair, fix upon the days
for the opening of the library to the
public, determine how long the books
may be retained, and assess fines for
damages done to books, and generally
by frequent inspection, to see that the
/ bylaws and regulations governing tho
use of said library be duly observed.
1t was resolved that the library be
closed during the months of July anc
August for the purpose of having al
books returned, and the making o
such repairs and additions as may b,
deemed advisable

ing spectacle was presented at the
Grand Trunk Depot in India street.
At least 5000 homeless women and
children were weeping bitterly at their
desperate condition. Many were but
half clothed and had lost their all.
People are living in tents on Nun
Joy Hill in large numbers, with hoop
skirts, chairs, stoves, bcdstends, and
all descriptions of household parapha-
MALTA, bundled together promiscuous-
ly. Near by are camp-fres in plenty.
The suffering of those thus turned
out of doors is increased by the fact
that for long time houses have not
been in proportion with the popula-
ton of the city, and hundreds of fam
lilies cannot by any possibility be shell
tered. Nearly all the provision stores
were destroyed, and this renders it
very difficult to procure the necessa-
ries of life.
One Irish child was burned to death
in house near the water.

A man died from exhaustion.
These are all the authentic accidents
reported.
The fremen were almost poworless.
While they were gallantly fighting it
in one direction it held almost un dis
puted swayin others. Buildings were
torn down and blown up far in adj
vance of the fire, but the flames would
overlap the chasms thus made and &C
on to further conquest.
The Methodist Church, on Chestnut
street the most valuable in the city
was saved by the iron shutters to the
windows, which it is said many of the
Society opposed when the church was
erected. 1t is worth about $4,000
BY the destruction of the Natural His
tory Building that corporation 'wil
