And still more you, parents and idows,
brothers and sisters, who wear the weeds of
mourning, and wear IN your bosoms broken
aud bruised hearts that time cannct heal, for
the valiant son, husband, or brother,
whose lie went out in the noble defence :;
you, say, can feel, If not tell, something of
the fearful dep'h of meaning which those

none but traitors ever did deny. To fail in
this duty would be depth OF degradation to
which loyalty could not descend. TO fail in

In the Declaration of Independence the
fathers planted themselves upon two funda-
mental principles first, the equality of man

circumstances to cast off their allegiance to
their government. A revolution based upon
these principles resulted in success From

The EXTRA PAY.-Some Congressman, and
conspicuous among them is Gen. Banks, have
apologized for going for the extra congressional
pay voted last session, by declaring that it vas
only an Equalization of the pay and mile
sge," cutting down the mi!esge, which, in case
of the members from the Pacific slope of the
Rocky Mountains was enormous, and giving it
the shape Of additional salaries. to the At.
lantic members While this is not true in
fact so far as the present Congress is concern
ed, that body taking very good care to leave
tn miiog unchanged, until next March, it
would, If it we're true, be a very poor argument;
and it is happily hit off in the following verse

IMPROVEMENTS IN DENTISTRY.

DR.. J. M. Comegys, the wide awake and enter
prising Dentist of Montpelier, has recently intro
duced several improvements in Dentistry, an i'm.
portant one being In rubber work. Hitherto
rubber plates for artificial teeth have been of
sight. This objection DR.. Comegys has overcome
having in use discovery whereby the rubber Is
given flesh color. the difference between that
and the natural gums being difficult to discover
while ut the same time strength is added by the
process OF coloring. Another improvement Is
the discarding OF air chamber In the plates which
are sure to eventually cause maliormation of the
roof OF the mouth. and the attainment of the
object Of air chambers through far preferable
method. Persons desiring Dental aid will find
DR.. Comegys the right man TO patronize. his
work being No. l. and his prices very reasonable.

By military order, quarantine was establish
ed below the city on last Saturday, yet, it Is
feared, and on good grounds too, thatit is
but poor guarantees against the dreadful
malady which it is intended to prevent from
gaining Judgement In the over stocked ten
ements Of New Orleans. All vessels that
touch at points where the cholera is raging,
are detained at the quarantine grounds be-
low the city FOR the space of ten days, which,
pointedly speaking, amounts TO nothing for
it is well known fact that in many cases
cholera viii not develop itself in less than
fifteen or twenty days As the disease is
raging at Havana, and vessels are eontinu-
ally arriving from that place, great anxiety
is manifested on the part Of prudential citi-
zens, as it is notorious fact that at least
two-thirds Of the present population of New
Orleans is composed Of unacclimated per-
sons, and the city is only in q moderate state
of cleanliness, while around the suburbs an
intolerable stencil prevails. Ten cases Of
cholera in New Orleans would be the signal
for a general stampede, the like Of which
was never seen.
While passing through Mississippi, we
conversed freely with gentlemen from al
most every part Of the State and from the
information received, are of the opinion that
not one half Of the amount of land will be
planted in cotton this year that was antici-
pated would be done. But little cotton will
be raised in Louisiana or Texas, and it is
conceded that the supply from this years
crop will fall far short Of what was brought
to market as last years growth. In some
localities the negroes seem to be doing well,
| in others but very poorly, and, to take the
freedmen Of Mississippi as class, they are
an Improbable set, from what we could
learn, and hard to manage.
On our way home, we fell in with Capt.
Frost, Supt. Of the NJ. c. R. R., who told us
that in a few days he would have ten more
new passenger cars and three sleeping cars
on the road for the accommodation of those
passing over the road. Both the n. O., J. &
G. n and NJ c. railroads are in fine order
from Bolivar to New Orleans. In about one
month the break in the road from here to
jackson, Tenn, will be repaired, and then
through business will commence. We hope
the officers of the above roads viii act con
jointly in their efforts to secure and promote
a healthy growth to astrictly Southern trade
