ashore and dashed in pieces
The steamship London from Plymouth Tor

VERMONT PoLIrIos-C oRREcTIoN.-lt any

Revenue for the lst District, was the otheiai

statements of the Springfield Republicans

Mr.. Poland had been recently through
Rutland County on official duty, and though
we really consider him altogether too sensi-
be man to originate report that any

Mr.. SEAvER' S LEcTuRE,-ln spite of the
severity Of the evening both inside and out
Of the Hall, the lecture by Rev.NormanCeav-
er Of Rutland, Tuesday evening, attracted an
audience respectable in numbers and of high
intelligence. Mr.. Scaver's subject was ''self
rule, or our duty as a people to restrain
the indulgence of certain dangerous infu-
ences which especially beset us. These are
Eirst-The Spirit of Ssciionalism. Against
this Washington gave us his solemn warn
ing. 1t began Its dangerous work with the
first existence of the nation, eliminated in
the late rebellion, and is still IN our midst,
representing our late victory as one of sec
ton over section. Of rounihcad over cavalier.
Against this fell spirit it Is our duty to pro.
test and strive.
SeocRd-The SPIRIT of Constitutional En-
crOaohment. Now that the hour of gloom
is past We should Ieturn, if We cannot to
the Union as it was, at least to the Consti-
tuition as 1t is. Under this head the lecturer
gave an eloquent apostrophe to the Consti-
tuition. which he said ought to be known
and loved by every American citizen next to
his Bible, andwhich it is perjury and dis
grace for President or people to disobey.
Third,-The sYirit Of bigoted patriotism
Under this head Mr.. Scaver showed I'D
- KnownOthingism," paid a feeling tribute
to the services of our foreign element in the
war, and declared the true Americans to be
those who from their veins have paid the
piice of the country's preserva ton.
F0rtk-The spiIt Of Retribut,On.
deep, natural and just as it is, is to
be controlled if we would win the greatest
Tictory. 1t may be right to punish but he
,rgued. or rather asserted, rather inconclu-
lively, if We punish we must punish all.
The victims must be counted not by tens
mt by tens Of Thousands and a frightful
,icture was drawn Of the South, bristling

WAYS ornamented with blackening heads;
her air tainted with the odor of decapitated
and deeaying rebels; Washington filed with
gibbets, and the Potonac running led to the
sea with the blood of executed traitors.
This, he said, very, truly We canno; do. Our
government can still pardon traitors and
live. If one must suffer, as the chief and
incarnation of rebellion, let US be glad that
1t was in no spirit Of revenge, and leave Te-
tributicn to Him who has said - Vengeance
is mine" Ia such sell-eontrol, rising at
times to seli-sacrifce, shall we exemplify the
nationality OF American Patriotism.
Mr. Scaver is Aorid rhetorician
and an extremely fluent and at
times eloquent speaker. His discourse,
as our imperfect abstract indicates,
was quite conservative" az well as patri-
otto in its tone. Ga some points pgobibly
he did not fully carry his audience with
him on others he was literally applauded,
and be held the attention and interest Of his
audience throughout.

c. ". Sanford, Chittcndsn County boy
who left Willision nine years ago to seek his
foi tunc in the west, j. low. though still a
young man, one Of the biggest manuiaetur-
ers in his line in the country, if not in the
world We have before us a late number
of the Chicago Tribune describing his i'm
mense establishment in that city. His line
is Candy, and it is no boys play making
candy on the scale cn which he works. What
do our readers think Of a candy factory
which turns out three tons d candy day?
But that is only the average rate Of Mr..
SanfoId's factory. His tax for November
and December last, was $50 300, on the
30 tons OF candy which was the two months
production Of his establishment. 1t Is
great Eve story building on Randolph street;
its machinery is driven by a % horse power
engine It employs constantly 20 men and
women and turns out al kinds Of candies,
Of remarkable excellence, from common
stick candy to the finest bonb)ns, to the
amount Of hall miiion dollars worth a
years. Mr.. Sanford has from small begin
nIngs built up this immense business, and
his case is certainly remarkable instance OF
the reward Of enterprise and integrity by
success.

The New York Citizen Of last Saturday
contains the following sketch of the First
Vermont Brigade, by some who did not be-
long to it, aud who never was in Vermont, :"
and who the editor Of the Ciii.ea saws is g
Major General in the Army Of the Potomac
Who this may be we know not but be
evidently has no intention of fattering the
Eermonters, while yet he accoIds them the
highest praise for some of their qualities as
soldiers for what higher can there be, in the
respects mentioned, than to say that they
were '.the best brigade in the Army Of the
Potomac :" that "they fought as ,reH as II
ras possible 10 f,h;;" and that they could
Out-march with ease any organization in the
Army" Some Of lis unfav0rabe adjectiycs
are doubtless just, and others not 80. The
boys of the old Brigade were doubtless
familiar with their officers; but they were
not incJrrigible or disobedlcnt. II was BE-
cause they could always be relied on to obey
orders that discipline was often relaxed
among them. and was ar a whole less strict
than in many other less trusted regiments
Their cficcrs knew that they could safely
allow them liberties, which would have
been the ruin Of all efficiency in some troors.
Nor were they generally demoralIzed by the
service-the way in which they have return I
ed TO their homes and settled down into CT 1
derby and law-abiding citizens is evidence |
enough Of that. Ii is also Incorrect that
the ooniuct Of the brigade in holding a /
skirmish line against line of battle, after
the battle Of Gettysburgh, has never appear
ed IN print. That remarkable performance
was mentioned in the official reports at the
time, and is fully described in Adjutant Gen.
sral washburn's published report. With
.hese exceptions this Major General gives
truthful and at all eyents very lively and
eadable account Of the Old Vermont Brig

man sixty-seven years old, whose intellect
