ing. 1t was fortunate thing for the
New York mob that it avoided II ronnict
with the New Englaad troops at that
time.
Upon the return of the brigade to the
field they quietly held 10 their old routine
of life and maintained to the close Of tile
war the splendid reputation they had wen
from the very outset.
There were many regiments equal to
the Vermont regiments in actual battle,
and some that, like the 9th New York
Vols, not only cqualcd them in fighting
qualities, but greatly surpassed them IN
drill, discipline and appearance on parade.
As brigade, however they We're I'M
douhtedly the best brigade in the Army
of the Potomac, for they not only fought
rs well as it was possible to fight, but they
conld outnarch with the utmost ease any
other organization in the army.
1t was the intention Of the writer only
TO refer 10 this brigade as furnishing the
best type of the American soldier, but
this article has gone beyond its intended
limit, and we have therefore net thespacc
to examine into the causes OF this superi-
ority Two, however, may he briefly
stated. First, that the regiments FROM
Vermont were brigaded together This
rule, strange TO say, seemed TO work w9l
only in regard to the smaller States, like
Vermont and New Jersey. Second, tile
fact that Vermont during the first yc;u' bl
the war recruited, for her regiments aHd
kept them full. Regimental and company
officers, knowing that their ranks would
he would be filled up, discharged mdn
freely, and thus managed to get rid Qt
their weak and worthless soldiers. Fa'
these reasons the Nermunters were GOOD
men. They were fortunate, moreover id
having such commanders as Gen. W. +.
Smith, and Gen. w. ! II. Brooks. IT
naturally resulted from this combination
Of circumstances that they became great
power in Battle, and earned a reputation

fore feel no hesitation in pronouncing the
action Of the Pope mistimed or misapplied.
To endeavor to discontinue an Order tha,
has stood for centuries and which num-
bered in its ranks the greatest and best of
every age, is an act Of folly and injustice
which can only rcdound to the honor of
the Masons and the discontinue of his
Holiness and the Church. -Palalelplta

a great speech against the constitutional
amendment which passed the House and
Mr.. Fessenden followed with an able ar
gument in its favor. 1t will probably
pass however. There is little or no pros
pect that the reciprocity treaty will be
renewed. The Senate was not in session,
Saturday, and the House, as usual, de-
voted the day to speech-mnking. Messrs
Ward of New York, Stevens and Will

ey We have reason to suppose that
there is misrepresentation as TO the real
difference of opinion between Hon. f. f.
Woodbridge and his colleagues upon a
vote recently taken in the House of Rep
resentatives, and we take pleasure in en-
deavoring to correct the error.
Mr.. Williams Of Pa, introduced a res
olution declaring in substance that it was
the sense of Congress that the President
should not withdraw the national
troops from the South until Congress
should deem it advisable. Mr. Wood
bridge voted against the resolution not
because he was in favor of Withdrawing
the troops from the South but because he
doubted the propriety of acts of legislation
directing the President to refrain from
doing what nobody thought he would do
without such legislation. We cannot hold
Mr.. Woodbridge censurable for such a
view Of the subject although we have no
doubt those who sustained the resolution
were equally innocent of desire to CEN
sure the President.

ly great inclination to be humbugged, no
matter how transparent the deception Or
how gross the imposition. A man has
been going through the state for some
time, offering greenbacks for less than
their value, and distributing money graf
utously to the gaping crowds, until he
thought them sufficiently batcd, when he
commenced disposing of his pseudo gold

tnued until satisfied that it was time for
him to be off. The Burlington Free

Had the mighty battery of ecclesiastical

Grafton That such song as the one at
which PITS is indignant should be sung
IN Germany, at a festival, and that II
large number OF Masons should be present,

cause of surprise. The spirit of ration
allsm is almost a national fault in that
land, and that it should embrace among
its supporters a number of MasonS is only
natural, but that the whole Order should
be pronounced intidel, its existence dis
countenanced, anathemas OF the Church
hurled upon it, because Il number Of chill
