The BENNINGTON Posr OFPIoR.-We
find the following in last weeks Mont
pelIer Argus & Patriot:

HEAD ORR. I. G. Cook, q radical of the
first water, has been removed from the Post
Inastership at Bennington, and John Sibley,
veteran Democrat, and lifelong Union man OF
the true sort has been appointed to the posi-.
:.on.
When Atkins, In the above, charges
the senior Editor of this paper with be-
ing a radical Of the first water" we
suppose he is about right; but the re-
mainder of his text is an absolute false
hood. There has been no change in the
Bennington Post Office. Mr.. Cook has
rot been removed, neither has "John
Sibley, veteran democrat, and life
long Union man Of the true Sort" been
ushered into the position he has so long
been an unsuccessful aspirant for. The
Central organ" of the Vermont democ-
racy has FLUSHED in the pan" this time
to certainty. There is no doubt but
Atkins supposed the thing was all fixed
when he penned the above flaming pro-
nunciamento; but it is rumored there is
trouble of some kind, whereof we wot
not, at Washington, and that Sibley's
papers have run smack against a snag,
whereat Atkins, Cain & Co., are becom-
ing alarmed, on account of the "bread
and butter" they themselves had counted
on so confidently. Itwould be quite too
bad if, after all the very pretty plans
of these oleaginous gentry they "came to
grief"
While we are on this subject we may
as well just add few lines as to the
strategic status of this affair of the Ben
nington Post Office. 1t is understood
that Sibley's papers bear the signatures
! Of all the Vermont delegates of the first
Philadelphia Convention, the leader Of
whom promised him on his word of pc.
litical honor (2) that he should certainly
have the Office. On the other hand it is
equally well understood that certain
Conservative Republican" influence, re.
siding out of the State, but concerned in
business here, declares stoutly that Sib.
ley shall not be appointed, on the ground
that he is incompetent. The democratic
managers - Davenport, Cain, Atkins
Smith g. Co., just as determinedly swear
he shall be appointed. They say thei
word is passed, and that they will no
have it impeached by renegade Re
| publican" while they have bore tn
cheat and burden of the day" in at
tempts to keep alive the starvelins
democratic party in Vermont. 1t il
understood strong remonstranc
against Sibley has gone on to Washing
ton, and it is said Sibley is getting scared
which latter fact is very bad road tt
success.
Thus the matter stands at present,ant
the result is sweet fight between out
and-out democratic and renegade Repuh
lican influence.
Meantime J. I. G. Cook is Postmaste
Of Bennington, and Atkins is guilty of
gross falsehood to his readers and tn
public. viii he correct, or remain gull

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.-The London
Shipping Gazette urges the Atlantic Ca
BILE Company to reduce their telegraph
rates at least fifty per cent, as the pres
ent charges make the cable impractic-
able for tse purposes OF politics, COM
merce or Scseral news, and, until re-
duction takes place, the cable for bust
ness purposes will be comparatively
useless. Even with the reduction, the
Gazette says, the expense Of telegraphing
with the American ports will be greater
than any trade can support as matter
Of constant recurrence.

FALSE TEETH LOST IN BREAKts.-A
lady at Hampton Beach, last week,
while bathing, was struck in the face by
large breaker, the shock of which
caused her to lose both sets of false
teeth in the briny deep. After great and
unavailing efforts to find them, she re-
turned to her boarding house rather in
clined to gum it. Three days afterward
a farmer gathering seaweed found the
teeth in a pile of it, and had the pleasure

SOUTHERN Fermentation. A. H. H
Stuart of Virginia, sort of Union man
whom nobody could tell from a seces-
sionist during the rebellion, predicts the
following terrible results of the failure
Of the Democratic Johnson party:
Society will be uprooted, and the
worst elements brought to the surface !;
all the securities for life, liberty and
property will be overthrow, and fero-
cious spirit of Jacobinism, which has had
no parallel since the worst days of the
French Revolution, will be rampant
throughout the country"
Yes, we suppose there will be the old
"bread riots" and grass growing in the
streets of the North" trampled upon on
ly by the fighting hosts once foretold to
JEFF. Davis by Frank Pierce. There never
was people so overthrown and ground
to powder by indignant party prophets
as the people of the North. Yet they
suppressed the most gigantic of rebel
lions, and kept all their wheels of indus
try a-going, educated their children, and
brought the whole civil community safe
ly through without strain or a jar.
What then, are they going through a
Jacobinical furnace and all that for now2
Mr.. Stuart hasn't the least idea OF what
he is talking about. We are simply 60
ing to apply down South, where it is
sadly needed, something of the good
order, respect for human rights and ODE
dience to law which prevail here-that's
all. Perhaps we ought to have done it
before, but better late than never. If
MIR. Stuart lives five years, he will be as
whist about his raging Jacobinical pro-
phecies as he and his associates now are
about their predicted "bread riots" of
five years ago.

crop. Thatit is cut rory far short Of what

farmer has given us even IN estimate Of
his turn. out. We have heard reports that
some crops would not make 10 bushels to

any one give them to us, or do the farmers
imagine that we can circulate the informa.
tion by the word Of mouth?
Since tho above was in type, farmer
living about 8 miles east Of town, has given
us n statement Of his crop. Out of his en-
lire crop of about 100 acres, which he has
just thresh d ont, the yield was an average
of almost l6 bushels TO the acre. The above
crop is considered equal If not superior to
any in the ncighborhood, and tho owner
expected, month ago, to average at least
% bushels to the acre, and the prospect was
favorable for it. .,.... ..
