Convention of Vermont soldiers.

The Convention of Vermont State SOL
diers assembled at the court house in
Burlington, Monday evening, and, &C
cording to the Times, was spirited and
enthusiastic gathering. The number
present was quite large, and every regi-
ment detachment or organization that
was ever in the United States service
from Vermont was well represented.
The speeches were excellent, the reso-
buttons capital, and the delegates APP
pointed to the Pittsburg Convention
true representatives of the feelings of
the soldiers of Vermont upon the mo-
mentous issues of the hour.
The convention was called to order by
Col. Redfleld Proctor, of Rutland, who
nominated as Chairman Major William
Rounds, Of Chester. Major Rounds was
unanimously elected, and upon his CON-
ing forward was received with cheers.
He spoke briefly, returning his thanks
for the honor conferred upon him. The
object Of the convention, he said, appears
from the call. No one questions the right
of the soldiers to hold this convention.
We are assembled at a time quite as
critical as any during the war. Then
the only controversy was how the blows
could be struck hardest and thickest.
Now there was an inclination to COM
promise; an effort to bring the country
over to "my policy" The soldiers, how
ever, had no idea of yielding the control
of the government to those whom they
had lately met on so many hard fought
battle fields. After again thanking the
convention, Major Rounds took his seat
amidst great applause.
Sergt. Joseph G. Perkins, OF Castleton,
and Sergt.- Maj, George Church, Of Bur-
ington, were then elected Secretaries Of
the convention.
The following Vice-Presidents were
also elected: Sergt. Thomas 7. sanborn
Of Strafford; Sergt. E. M. Sherman, Of
Castleton; Private spafford Wright, and
Capt. John Lonergan, of Burlington.
On motion ofCol. WIG. veazey, of Rut-
land, the Chair appointed the. following

Capt. Lonergan entered at this time
aud took his seat as one Of the Vice-Pres-
idents. His appearance was the signal
for long continued applause. He thanked
the convention for the honor, and hu-
morously said that when they attended
a Fenian mass meeting, as he knew they
would, he would have them elected Vice
Presidents. After fighting our 'brothers"
for four years, he saw no reason why the
soldiers of the Union, among whom he
was proud to number himself should be
unwilling to fight our cousins across
the ocean. (Applause.)
Hon. Rufus f. Andrews, of New York,
being present, was loudly called for, and
came forward amidst loud applause.
He spoke as follows:
SPEECH OF HON. R. +. ANDREWS.
Mr.. Andrews said he was present &C.
cidentally, and had not expected to
make q speech. He remembered that he
was present two years ago at conven-
ton held in this city to nominate Presi-
Dental electors. The enthusiasm as
usual in Vermont was great. He felt the
necessity of again electing Abraham Lin
coin President. That great and good
man was triumphantly elected second
time. He (Mr. Andrews) then thought
the work was nearly done. The soldiers
had the enemy at bay before Richmond
and in North Carolina, and were only
waiting to know that they were to be
sustained at home before striking the
final blow. The election of Mr.. Lincoln
was an assurance that they would be sup
ported by the North. They had not
thought that any other would be Presi-
dent and knew that should he be elected
they would be sustained. The soldiers
struck the final blow and in the moment
of victory the assassin laid our President
low. 1t was his fortune to be present at
at his dying bedside. There was sad
ness upon his heart. The country was
in mourning. As soon as We saw our
new President, Andrew Johnson, we felt,
Union men felt, that he could be trusted
after the declarations he had made.
Everywhere there was q unanimity Of
sentiment to support him. He told US
that "treason was q crime, and should
be punished" He pledged himself to
follow the policy Of the party which elect
ed him. But We have lost confidence
in Andrew Johnson. We have found
that he cannot be trusted. He stands as
Q constitutional President. We. wish
him no harm; no, God forbid. We want

THE GREAT DOG FIGHT AT CHICAGO.
Chicago, on Wednesday last, was the
centre of attraction for the members OF
the sporting world, who assembled there
from every direction to witness fight
which has been for some time ON the
tapis, between a Chicago dog and one
from the modern Athens. This brutal
canine struggle for superiority took place
Mt the Ten-Mile House, distant that
number of miles from the CITY, and
lasted two hours. and half, at the end
clared the victor He; however, was not
long permitted to enjoy the laureIs Of
his triumph, or the other to endure the
disgrace of defeat, for both animals died
soon after. Twenty thousand dollars are
said to have changed hands among the
sporting fraternity who were present at
this beastly exhibition.

Coryatt mentions the Ave Maria. with
verses, as the sign of an alehouse abroad,
and street where all the signs on one
side were of birds. The Swan with Two
Nicks, or Necks, as 1t is commonly call
ed, was so termed from the two hicks or
marks, to make known that it was a
swan of the Winners Company; the
swans of that company having two semi
pieces cut from the upper mand-
ible of theswan, one on each side, which
are called hicks. The origin of the Bolt
in-Tun is thus explained. The bolt was
the arrow shot from a cross-bow, and the
tun or barrel was used as the target, and
in this device the bolt is painted stick
ing in the bung-hole. It appears not
to conclude, that hitting
the bung was as great an object In cross
bow shooting as 1t Is to a member Of q
Club to strike the target in
the bulls eye. The sign of the Three
