They occupied the public squares here
for some time, enjoyed themselves not
wisely, nor yet virtuously; and re-
turned to the Army of the Potomac
sadly demoralized in all but the two
great essential qualities of fighting
and marching. 1t was a fortunate
thing for the New York mob that it
avoided conflict with the New Eng
land troops at that time.
Upon the return of the brigade to
the field they held on to their old rou-
tine of life and maintained to the
close of the war the splendid reputa-
ton they had won at the very outset.
There were many regiments equal
to the Vermont regiments in actual
battle, and some that, like the 5th n.
Y Vols, not only equaled them in
fighting qualities, but greatly surpass-
ed them in drill, discipline and an
pearance on parade. As brigade,
however, they were undoubtedly the
best brigade in the Army of the Po-
tomac, for they not only fought as well
as it was possible to fight, but they
could outmarch with the utmost ease
any other rgaanization in the army.
/ 1t was the intention of the writer
only to refer to this brigade as fur
nishlng the best type Of the American
soldier, but this article has grown be-
yond its intended limit, and we have
therefore not the space to examine in
to the causes Of this superiority. Two,
however may be briefly stated. First,
that the regiments from Vermont were
brigaded together. This rule, strange
to say, seemed to work we'll only in
regard to the smaller States, like Yer
mont and New jersey. Second, the
fact that Vermont during the first
year of the war recruited her regi-
ments and kept them full. Regimen,
tai and company officers, knowing
that thcir ranks would be filled up
discharged men freely, aad thus man
aged to get rid of their weak and
worthless soldiers. For these rea-
sons the Vermonters were good men
They we're fortunate, moreover, in
having such commanders as Gen. w
/ F. Smith, and Gen. W. 7. H. Brooks
1t naturally resulted from this combi
nation of circumstances that they be
came a great power in hattie, anc
earned a reputation of which every
t man and woman in Vermont may vel
be proud"

GreeIey's Secession Pledges,

[From tho New York Tribune, November g. 1860
If the cotton States shall become satisfied that
they can do better out Of the Union than in it, we
insist on letting them 60 in peace. The right to
secede may be revolutionary one, but it exists
nevertheless.
We must ever resist the right of any State to
remain in the Union and nutliiy or deny the laws
thereof To withdraw from the Union ia duito
another matter. Whenever considerable sec.
ton OF the Union shall deliberately resolve to 90
out we shall resist all coerciye measures designed
to keep 1t in. We hope never to live in a re.
public whereof one section is pinned to another
by bayonets.
lFrom the Tribune Nov &C. 1901
Ii the cotton States unitedly and earnestly wish
70 .WltadraW peacefully from the Union, we think
they should and would be allowed to do so. Any
attempt to compel them by force to remain would
pc contrary to the principles enunciated in the
immortal Declaration of Independence-co contrary
TO the fundamental ideas Oh which human liberty
is based.
from the Tribune, Dec. IT. 1860
Ii 1t (the Declaration Of Iudependpnce) justified
the secession from the British empire of three
millions OF colonsts in l776, we do not see why it
you'd not justify the secession of five millions OF
Southions from The Union in 1861
tFrom the Tribune Feb %, 1862
Whenever it shall be clear that the great body
OF the Southern people have become cOuclusively
alienated from the Union, and anxious to escape
from it, we will do our best to forward their
views.

veraI,a New opern. ppn rnrlna.

Tie Paris theatrical and musical papers and pc
nOdlCafS are much taken up with tue new opera
by the composer Of Ernani, II Trovatore, and La
IraVlata, winch IS now in active rehearsal, and
Will be brought out at the Academic Imperial de
Musique this winter, with splendor ia dresses and
scenery never before attempted on any stage.
Public attention is now being called to the hero
OF the new opera, an historical parsonage who has
been represented in different ways by different au
thors. Schiller in his Don Carlos, depicts his hero
in most favorable colors, yet his history tells us
pretty plainly that he was by no means pleasant
gentleman, and was far from being the generous,
noble-sprited character that the German poet has
made of him. In a work published by q Spanish
author some years ago, we are told that his boot
maker having made him pair of boots which
gave him great dissatisfaction, the noble prince
forced the knight of the awl to cut the cltauSSure
up into small pieces and eat them in his presence.
He was, however, deVout and superstiti0us, though
cruel and vindicted.
Monsieur Chadeuil, in an interesting work on
princes of royal houses also tells us that Don Car
los, when mere youth, fell i'll OF the ague, and
medical men were Immediately called in. When
they came the prince exclaimed, :" want no
doctor l would rather have Saint Dedacius bring
him to me instantly" To comply with the re-
quest of the prince the body of the deceased saint
was brought to him, Though not yet canonized
The priests, who found the saint no light weight
were very glad to deposit him at the bedside of
the shivering prince. They asked his highncss
what his pleasure was respecting the dear de-
parted. The prince, with much difficulty, arose
from his pillow, and ordered them to put the saint
into his bed to cover him over with a sheet and
then to leave him in tete-a-tete with the body
The priests rather reluctantly did as they were
bid, for, knowing the odd whims of the prince,
they were afraid that some harm might happen to
the precious goods left in his charge. 1t must be
supposed, however, that the iciness Of Saint De-
dacious must have had beneficial effect on the
feyerishness of his hghness, for when the priests
returned, after few hours, they found Don Car
los just awakening from most refreshing sleep,
the fever having entirely left him.
OF course it was universally believed that mira
Gle had been performed, and the king applied for
immediate canOnization of the saint, a request
readily complied with. 1t was the least that could
be done for such very excellent substitute for
unnine.

THE IScREAsE IN VALUE OF BUILDING MATE.
RIALs.-The Philadelphia Ledger, an excellent
authority, says: Building materials increased in
price during the war at slower rate than other
articles for the reason that there were large
stocks of them on hand. AS these stocks were re-
duced however, their value enhanced, and this in
crease has been going on, with but few excep-
lions, steadily since the war closed In one or
two cases there has been small decline in the
prices of building materials, but it has been made
up by subsequent advances. The New York
Commercial and Financial Chronicle gives an in
teresting statement of the prices of building ma
terials at present. as compared with the prices for
l860. Thus, in 1860, Scotch pig iron was $22 so
ton, and it is now S48 glass; which was then 81
box, is now s. so; nails, costing then fraction
over three cents a pound, now cost over seven
cents; paints have risen from seven cents to six
teen cents pound bricks from S. to $l1 so and
timber, which then varied from $I4 to $36, costs
now from SCI to $50. The average increased
price of building material is 50 Is per cent over
the rate OF 1861 and of the unfortunate results
OF this increase is that poor materials are now put
into buildings in order to save expense. The
scarcity OF good workmen has also led to the en-
poyment of inferior mechanics These facts show
that the increased price of materials and the
scarcity Of labor caused by the war interfere
greatly with the comfort and welfare of the com
Inunity. A decline in the price of building ma.
terials, and also of other necessaries of life, is
anxiously hoped for by all classes of people.
