The New County Project.

An adjourned meeting of the friends OF
the new county was held at Chester on
the 9Th inst, and was called to order by
the President, Gen. Davis of Cavendish.
The former secretary being absent Col.
Seaver of Cavendish, was chosen secreta-
ry pro tenn. The remainder Of the pro-
ceedings we copy from report in the
Rutland Herald:
Maj. Rounds of Chester, in behalf of u
committee appointed at the former meet
ing, read report containing the popula-
ton, valuation and the distance Of each of
the towns in the proposed new county from
Chester and from Woodstock. BY SUBJ
ed that the committee prepare phamt hlets
.embodying the facts contained in the re-
port in season for the March meetings of
the towns interested. AT present that the
town of Weston which is about forty miles
from Woodstock, is about ten miles from
Chester, and the average distance of the
several towns would be only nine miles
from the proposed shire town. 1t was
thought that all necessary and suitable
buildings could be 5uilt for $4,000, of
which Chester might be expected to fur
nish $4,000, besides her proportion on
the grand list, which would amount TO
$1,000 more. Mr.. Henry and others
went into certain calculations going TO
show that the time and money spent in at
tending court at Woodstock amounted to
more in two or three years than would be
expended by each citizen in erecting the
new buildings in Cavendish or Chester.
Mr.. Henry finally moved an amendment
TO the report to the effect that the commit
tee prepare careful estimate of the
probable cost of the necessary buildings,
which was adopted, and as thus amended
the report was adopted.
Mr.. Henry of Chester, Judge Wilder
of Weston, Judge Arnold of Londonderry.
Mr. Daniels of Grafton, Mr.. Chapman of
Proc,orsyille, Mr.. Walker of Ludlow, and
others addressed the meeting. Most Of
the speakers were in favor of new coun-
ty; whatever difference of opinion there
was appeared to be one of time.
Mr.. Henry said that he had no doubt
that when the people saw the matter in
its true light, they would all be in favor Of
the proposed change. He felt confident
also that other changes would be made in
the dfffsrcnt counties of the State. 1t
would not answer to hurry this thing bun
see 10 il that The people had all the facts.
The Committee were instructed to call
a future merfinS 1T such time and place
as they might see Git, and the convention
adjourned sine die. N. B.

THE VIRTUE OF THE BALLoT.-An
English shipbuilder recently had con-
tract offered him which he found he could
take provided his workmen would submit
TO small reduction from the Trades I'm
ion standard. He called them together
and stated the case. 1t was a perfectly
fair one. He could save himself and they
could have work. " You who are willing
to 60 TO work at the proposed rates, hold
up your hands" The men looked at each
other, bat not hand was held up. al
am afraid said the master, that you
have not understood the question but
that there may be no mistake, let us vote
by ballot" Papers were distributed, for
every man to write Yes" or " no" on his
ballot, and they were collected. On their
being examined. every man had voted
"yes," and the contract was taken. Thus
it appears that these bold Britons, who
defy all the rest of the world, are just a
little afraid of each other.

Westminster Farmers Club.

Feb. lS.-The resolution relating to the
contracting OF the currency, and returning
TO specie basis, drew out one of the lar
gest attendance of the season, and was
ably discussed by Willard and Davis
Messrs. Kimball, Titcomb, Grout and
Goodrich participated, after which the fol-
loving preamble aud resolution was intro
duced by Mr.. Goodrich and passed with
out dissenting vote:
Whereas. That at meeting of the Far
mers' Club, Westminster, VT, Dec. "a,
1866, The subject of the different
breeds Of cattle best adapted for certain
purposes" was discussed and subsequently
reported in The BELLOWS FALLS TINES
over the signature of the Secretary of
said club as follows, to witt
The Aldeineys somewhat extensively
introduced into Westminster the past year,
were regardtd as a homely, ill favored
breed, OF feeble constitution. ragged, un-
uncouth animals, whose little tendency to
fatten would not interfere injurously with
the small quantity of milk which they ield
often in an inverse ratio 10 the luxuriance
of their Keeping"
rejecting very enormously upon the
Attorneys lately introduced into West
minister, antagonistical TO the feeling and
sentiment of the "club," tending PERM
ciousy to the future welfare of expert
mental stock breeding in this locality, and
feeling that the secretary of Feb. 9Th and
18th did not SO corr ect the error Of his re-
port of Dec. "a, as directed by vote of
| said club and believing that it is due the
club, vicinity, and stock breeders in gene
raj, that the true sentiment of the club
should be expressed freely and fully With
out sinister views, or personal pique,
Therefore, Resolved, That We as mem
bers of the Farmers Club believe that the
Attorneys introduced into Westminster the
past year, to be a superior class of animals
pure in blood, perfect in symmetry, hardy
in constitution, easily fat,ened, and from
the limited progeny now extant, we most
cheerfully commend them as worthy the
patronage of all lovers Of good stock
breeding.
Voted to adjourn one week. Subject of
next meeting " The Horse"-best breed,
manner of breeding, rearing, driving, &c.

IMPROVE YOUR SToCK.-The farmers
OF Westminster to the number of about
twenty five, formed an association at the
beginning of last year for the purpose of
introducing the Alderney breed of cattle
into Westminster and vicinity, and were
fortunate in purchasing pure and thor
ough bred bull of that breed, of beautiful
symmetry and fine points. AT meeting of
the association held last Saturday evening
it was unanimously voted to keep him for
use another season. The few calves already
produced here, of his stock and had been
viewed by Mr.. /. N. Farr and Mr.. A.
Goodrich, were enthusiastically spoken of
by them as beautiful specimens of fancy
stock, and not likely to detract, but add to
the reputation of the sire.

THE New TAX BILI..-Mr. Morrill, of

accompanied the report with avery able
speech, which the Boston Advertiser says
was an important one and will add TO the
high reputation which MIR. Morrll's efforts
at this session particularly have won for
him." Mr. Morrill, holds that the income
tax, like the internal tax on manufactures
must be retained only so long as absolute
necessity requires. In short, that the
country must get rid of Of them at the
earliest opportunity, a view which all tax
payers will receive with special satisfac-
ton.

Important Statement.

Southern correspondent Of the Rut-
land Herald, writing from Mobile, Alaba-
ma, makes an important statement by
which it would seem that the South are
tolerably well prepared for another rebel
lion, and if they can but have encourage
ment and aid from northern copperheads,
will again light the torch of secession;
and there are doubtless thousands of reb-
els in the South who still hope something
may turn up by which their " lost cause
may yet be saved. ID. w. Voorhees,, the
notorious copperhead Of Indiana, during
the war, has been down TO New Orleans
where he addressed his " friends" and ex-
horted the South never to yield 10 the
domination of the "radicals," in other
words to the constitutional majority OF the
loyal states. This class Of men are now
preaching TO the South and urging them
on as they did in 1860 when Frank Pierce
wrote letter Of sympathy to JEFF. Davis,
and when o;her New Hampshire demo-
Gratis declared that TO troops could leave
that State to put down the rebellion till
they had first marched over the dead
bodies of the 10000 democrats" of that
commonw ealth. Such is the spirit of nor
thern apprehension to-day, and every
man of whatever political party. who
means TO be loyal citizen and support
our government, should see that he in no
manner gives his aid to that spirit.
From the letter above alluded to We
make the following extract -
!" Politically, have little to say, except
if by impeaching the President another
struggle ensues, you of the North may
rest assured that what is left of the South,
will be placed to the credit OF Mr.. john
son, to fight again for the " lost cause for
there is great hatred towards the North,
and the fiDst bugle note will call to arms
what is left of the South; and may here
add what perhaps you do not appreciate
at the North, viz: That all the arsenals
of the South are burdened with munitions
Of war, and virtually no force to protect
them. Mt. Vernon arsenal alone, forty
miles from this city, will completely arm
and equip with small arms and artillery,
twenty thousand veteran confederate SOL
diers. | will personally vouch for this
statement, SO that while you think the
South powerless they feel that they are
not, with Northern aid. Again the
press of the South is universally engaged
in the work of belieing the Government
and the North, and studiously impressing
into the minds of the masses disloyalty
and discomfort, and open war the moment
the opportunity presents itself, instead of
using It's influence for forgetfulness of
the past, and the reconstruction of COM
mon country and government so that
Northern and Union men, can but feel an
uncertainty and uneasiness as to the very
unsettled state of the country, and TO a
just settlement of difficulties earnestly
