 The rousing victory in Vermont last week, the first battle of the great fall campaign in. dicated that the Union organization had lost none of it's strength. Encour aging, however as her largely increased majority was, we did not wish to be prematurely elated b, success in 20 thorough Union precinct. But when the news comes this week of 8 majority of S0,- 900 in Maine, 1000 increase on last years vote, it reminds one of Phil Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley, rather than any ordinary political contest If this is decentralization we can bear it; and if the Coalition think they can stand before the Union party with it's prestige renewed, and exhibiting all the energy of old times, they are welcome to make the experiment. .4 ..,...... g..,s....s.5.

The entire espi- tal of sloooo has heeu subscribed and prspat. ations are ip progrsss for opening .be school about tbesmiddle of octohsf. We srs ,assarsd 1 bg those whe have the management of the mat : fter, that neither labor or money will be spar. ed to secure such corps of teachers as will make it thelead.ng institution 4of. the kind in the State. F,om the known character of the Directors flor energy and determipaton i've have every reason to believe that Litcb6sld will finally have school worthy of the place. For several years past we have had no institu tion of this kind, and for a long time before. although several schools were started, none of them were, for various reaaons. permanently successful. The great difficulty has always been limited means while want of general support, throughout a community which is hardly large enough to sustain more than one good school. has often proved great draw back. The means at command of the new As sociation are certainly ample; and efeel con- 6dent that the best chance We have ever had for supplying the greatest want of our village, will not be lost for want of proper support.

q eese were British vessels. The Fredonia,
however, was bound to New York w!!th her pas
sengers, and yet in Boston people contributed
thus literally to reward the British captain
while In the case Of the wreck of the Boardman
in the waters Of New York harbor, the extent
of the contribution to the two pilots who risked
tleir lives to save the sufferers, who must have
Inevitably persisted but for their gallantry, is
one dollar head, which has been sent to us
about six cents for the life Of every person
saved.
We observe that some members of the New
York Chamber of Commerce who visited Pre-
sident johnson last week, represented them
selves as worth seventeen millions Of dollars;
and we do not perceive that either the Cham
Der or the Board of Underwriters, or any other
body representing the commercial interests of
this community, has done anything towards re-
warding these two brave New York pilots for
the fearful risk they ran in the cause of hui
manity. They ought to get ten thousand dol
lars apiece, and they have received only one
dollar. We boast great deal about our su-
premacy as commercial metropolis; but here
is case in which our merchants leave them
selves open to the charge Of positive mean
ness. They faunt before the world their
wealth as counted by millions, and yet they
take no notice Of these brave fellows who ex-
posed their lives to rescue the crew and pas
sengers Of ship almost within sight of the
metropolis itself We hope that this stigma
q
ton of our representative commercial bodies,
but that something will be done to mark the
appreciation in which the disinterested ser
vices of the New York pilots in this case are
held.
