ScHooL BooKs.-The Vermont Board
OF Education last year adopted Mitchelrs
Geography for the use of schools in this
State. The publishers, E. II. Butler e.
Co, Philadelphia, sent us some weeks
since. the series, First Lessons, Primary.
and intermediate, which we have not had
time to examine until now, and after ex-
animation we have no hesitation in cordi-
ally commencing it to our schools, and
would therefore refer our readers to the
advertisement of the publishers in another
column. In the intermediate series is a
spt clal edition for Vermont, and besides
containing most excellent system of
learning the geography of our own country
and the whole world-with most excellent
pictorial wood ensravngs, contains
special geography of Vermont by Pliny
Ii. White, a member OF the Board of Ed.
ucation of this State, which will be found
very useful. The maps of this geography
are all copper plate, and any change which
may occur here after, can also be made in
any future editions.

The Legislature.

The Legislative proceedings during the
past week have not been of much practi.
cal interest. A large number of private
or corporate bills have been presented
but large share of the time is occupied
in the Burden Railroad case in Benning-
ton County, which we have before men
toned. L. w. Park and his friends OF
course oppose it, and the Burdens and the
Troy and Boston railroad favor it.
On Saturday Mr. Dennisun of Royal
ton presented the petition of nj. G. Gage
and 40 others, and Daniel Woodward and
Az others, citizens of Royalton for new
county. A bill passed the House on
Tuesday protecting fish in Cold Spring

TIE WESTERN SOLDIERS INTEREST IN
GOV. ANDREW.


On one occasion at the Chestnut Hill
hospital, Philadelphia, We were in one OF
the wards telling stories and singing songs
when one of the boys cried out, "Tell us
about Governor Andrew ?" We related
several incidents of his care for our SOL
dlers, when man from a cot at the further
end OF the room cried out, ave boys from
Indiana think Gov. Morton is bully fel-
low, but swear believe he will have to
take off his hat to Gov. Andrew"
HIS INDEPENDENCE.
Ga the occasion when Gov. Andrew
called the militia Of the state to Boston
common, in anticipation of service at the
capital against the rush of Stonewal Jack
sons successful forces down the Shenan-
doah valley. and then summarily dismissed
them TO their homes without the expected
service, there was much sensitiveness in his
military family" at the criticisms and
ridicule of the press in regard to the affair
One after another of the members of his
staff suggested 10 him various methods of
explanation 10 allay the discussion of the
matter. The governor said No !" to them
all. At last, one OF more authority
than the Others veniured to say that moth
ing but card in the newspapers explain.
Ing that the troops were called out at the
request of Secretary Stanton would salts
iy the public. Jumping from the lounge
on which he was lying, seeking a little
needed rest, and raising his arm in en-
phalic gesture, while every feature showed
the intensity of his feeling, the governor
Numbered out. No. sir if the people

The 0Losr CAusrrTbe q

The LOST CAUSE.-THE alost
cause " has very naturally taken great
courage in the late elections. The unex-
pected resurrection of Northern copper
headism, has put new life into the I" South
ern heart and they are not without hope
that what they lost by the bullet may be
gained by the ballot. Our readers will
remember the La Crosse Democrat, of
Wisconsin, a leading copperhead and dem
ocra'ic paper Of the West, and which is
also largely taken by Eastern democrats.
This paper virtually demanded and pre-
dicted the assassination of President Lin
coin long before it was done, and still ex
ultsover that fiendish crime, and day by day
denounccs The debt made to pay Union
soldiers, as an atrocious swindle, TO be re-
pudIated as soon as the democrats come
into power. This paper is applauded and
supported by democrats throughout the
country, as an exponent of their princi-
pies and feelings. and here is morsel
from . late number:
Rebellion crime. Liar in your
throat Phil Sheridan! Every hour justi-
fies the acts Of those who, from Bull Run
to Richmond, through four years of battle
and blood, sacrifices and struggles, labored,
suffered, fought, died for the cause Of civ
j freedom. Every passing day proves
the soundness Of their judgment, the wis
dom Of those who strove for independence.
Every revolving year makes the 8 lost
cause more sacred TO the lovers of liberty,
dearer to the hearts of those who were
faithful to, it from its inception to its tenn
porary fall"

November Elections.

The democratic majority in New York
has gons up to about 10000, and they car
~ the lower branch of the legislature, and
inc union party the Senate. The demo-
cratic majorities in the two cities of New
FORK and Brooklyn is $4,000! And that
accounts for the milk in the cocoanut."
but the most remarkable feature of this
election is that, though the vote in the
cities is full, in the country where the
republican strength lays, the vote was FAR
from full, and notwithstanding the heavy
vote OF the cities, the aggregate in the
ota'e VIII be nearly one hundred thousand
less than last year!
In Massachusetts the Union State tick.
cts elected by larger majority than first
reports, reaching $4,000. The legislature
is Overwhelmingly Union republican, and
two-thirds in favor of license.
The Western states stand by their IJn-
ion faith. Wisconsin elects the Union
ticket BY some 60oo majority, as reported
last week, but there is no u. S. Senator
to be chosen this year as we stated last
week, as Mr.. Dooli,tle's time does not ex.
pire till 1869.
MINNESOTA is the banner Union State
this year. The Union majority is some
5000. She has not only elected the Union
State ticket by an increased majority over
l065-her last gubnatorial election-but
also voted for impartial suffrage by strik-
ing from her constitution all tests on &C.
count of color. Honor to Minnesota
In the Southwest although Kansas goes
Union, it is by a greatly reduced majority,
partly on account of the effort to carry
Woman's Rights" or proposition to
give the right of suffrage to women-a
matter which might reasonably have been
postponed at least till after reconstruction
is settled.
