a.. SOLUBLE
(CAPITAL, 1000, 0O0.)
PACIFIC GUANO.

THE VALUE OF THIS GUANO is now
l. so nell kno,on and appreciated, that it does
not require further commentator from US.
The Company oaons the Guano Islands, and
other sources Of supply from which its raw
material is drawn. Hence, this Guano, pos
sessing such high excellence, can be brought
into market at price not exceeding that OF
the ordinary Super-Phosphates of Lime.
The large capital invested by this Company
affords the surest guarantee of the continued
excellence of their fertilizer, as the safety OF
their capital depends upon continued and
permanent business.
Experience has shown that this Guano rip
ems the Wheat crop from 5foe to sic days ear
lier than the Super Phosphates.
1t is the policy and purpose of the Company
to furnish the best fertilizer that enterprise
and capital aided by the best scientific abili-
ty, can bring into market, at the Lowest pos
sible cost to consumers.

- HARM DONE.

Private advices from our most siren
uous friends at the North request that
we should protest against the imprudent
expressions that have escaped some
Southern speakers since the adjournment
of the National Democratic Convention.
1t is represented to US that great injury
is accruing to the cause from such impru-
dence. We therefore shall make no
apologies for asking the attention of our
public speakers to the fact. We are all
DESTROYS of pushing on the good work to
success, and no one would voluntarily
impede its course who was aware of the
fact. Whilst no man in the South
should be, and no true man is, ashamed
of our great lost cause, and whilst, when
we speak of the past, we should speak
like true men, it is questionable whether
at this time anything is to be gained by
too much reference to things that Jar on
peoples nerves. What we want lust
now is, to win. Let us keep our powder
for that purpose. Too much is at stake
to waste it now in teur de jOie. Let us
have our pyrotechnics next March. In
the mean time, friends, let us, without
abating one sentiment that is true, be
cool and steady, and give the enemy no
advantage. We have a strong foe to en-
counter. We can't afford to give him
all the advantage of position. Let us
guard onr tanks, make secure our lines,
and when the time comes next Novem-
Der let us down on him like an avail
anche, and double him up like Il grub
worm, and then scatter him to the winds.
We have the power. Do not let us I'M
necessarily fritter it away in unavailing
diminishing and needless, thoughtless.
scattered assaults. Let us work, and
speak, to win"
But the above is too late. The rebels
have already openly avowed their trail
torous designs, and the loyal people of
the North fully understand the whole
case. .- .

LIFE OF CoLFAx.-We are in recent
of handsome volume from the United
States Publishing Co., All Broome St..
New York, entitled The Life and Pub
lie Services of Schuyler Colfax," by Ed
ward Winslow Martin, the publication
OF which We announced in our journal
some time ago. After a careful and crit
ical review of this book, we feel safe in
pronouncing it work of rare historical
interest and great political value. As a
republican textbook it is both inyalua-
bic and indispensable at this time, Civ
ing, as it does, with singular clearness
and vigor, complete digest of the va
rlous public issues that have agitated the
country for fifteen years. As truthful
biography of one of Americas greatest
statesmen, it is a peerless contribution to
the nations literature, and we cheerfullv
and heartily commend it to our readers
as the right book at the right time. In
mechanical execution and general ap-
pearance it is all that could be desired
and it is embellished with magnificent
steel portrait of Mr.. Colfax, by Buttre.
We believe the publishers are in want of
agents, and we advise canyassers to ap-
ply at once and secure choice of terri
tory for this highly popular and valua-
BILE work.

by the death of the late Hon. Solomon
Foot, and has not only ably and most
faithfully served his state, but has been
an untiring worker, truly representing

and found true, and his reelection will
be mutual honor to him and our State,
and not more to him than his merits ful-
ly deserve.

was introduced by the Rev. DIR. Doug
lass, of Windsor, who read some propos-
ed Memorials thereon to the General
Convention, and the State Legislature.
These well-digested papers were cordial
ly Endorsed by the Convocation; but, to
the great regret of all, want OF time for
the due consideration Of the whole sub
ieot prevented final action upon them
This matter will, however, BIO brought
before the next General Convention, and
probably before State Legislatures, by
the action Of other Dioceses.
The Jealous Rector of the important
and thriving parish at Bellows Falls has
lately opened a church school for young
ladies, bearing the name of St. Agnes
Hall. A commodious building, pleas
antly located near the Church, has been
secured for its use as boarding school,
which, under competent teachers and an
experienced matron, will soon, we hope
be filled with happy pupils.
The untiring and systematic efforts Of
the Rector, and the hospitality of his
people, have succeeded in making thi;
occasion one of rare interest, ald also
we trust, of much spiritual profit.
The next meeting of Convocation is t.
be held, God willing, in January, in st
PauPs Church, Burlington.

We can't say that we blame the demo-
Gratis much for going back few years
and picking out such figures to compare
with the late election returns as will look
most favorable for them, for those of this
year and last year don't compare at all
for them. But suppose the republicans
should do the same. Take Maine for in
stance in 1914. The democrats carried
that State by 1000 majority for Polk.
As compared with this year the gain
against them will amount to some forty
thousand.

The Legislature.

The Vermont legislature will meet this
year on Thursday the Sth of October, OF
in little more than two weeks. At pres
ent we see not why the legislature can
not meet for q brief business session, and
adjourn soon enough to help Tighten the
burden of expenses to the Slate. 1t is
true that notices of number of projects
have been given, but few of them, we APP
prehend, are expected to occupy much
time in the Legislature
As to the organization of the House,
we observe in several parts of the State
expressions in favor of the election of the
Hon. Gro. w. GRANDEY of Vergennes,
as speaker. We heartily endorse this
suggestion. We endorse it for the rea-
son of the peculiar fitness of Mr.. Gran
dy for that position. He has formerly
been the presiding officer of the House,
and as such always performed the duties
with ability, faithfulness and Dispatch
An early and strong opponent of the old
fugitive slave law and slavery, in slave
times, we should be glad to see the House
honor both him and itself by his election
as speaker. As no other gentleman has
yet been named for that place, it is not
impossible that he will prove to be the
unanimous choice of the House for that
position. ...
For Clerk of the House we have
heard no other name mentioned in this
section except thatof j. III. FLAGG, Esq,
of Bennington, the efficient clerk for the
past few years; and the fact of his ex-
perience is much more of reason for
his reelection now than any which ex-
listed when he was first chosen. Efficient
officers of the House will materially aid
the progress of the business of the ses-
sion, and with the election of such men
as Messrs. GRANDEY and FLAGG as the
first officers of the House, we shall be
sure of one step in the right direction for
q short session.
In the Senate the presiding officer, 1t.
Gov. THOMAS, has already been chosen
by the people, and no doubt, HENRY
CLARKE, Esq, of Rutland, will be re-
elected Secretary.
And now, gentlemen Of the Vermont
legislature for 1868: you have been
elected by confding constituency al
one of the most important elections evel
held in this State. You all have thun
dering majorities for support so far a.
national affairs are concerned, and W,
pray you to give US an example of GOOD
economy, 1--WE don't wish you to be par
simonious of course and as brief a ses
sion as consistent with the true Interests
of the State. BY so doing, you vii
justly earn the appellation, at the hand.

Personal HISTORY OF U. S. GRANT:
by Albert d. Richardson. American
Publishing Co. Hartford, Ct,
OF the numerous biographies of Grant
issued this year, none will surpass this
one in lively interest, and we doubt if
any come up to it. The author will of
course at once be recognized as the able
"war correspondent" during therebellion,
and needs no recommendation. He has
peculiar qualifications for the task and
it is needless to sayit has been well done.
He has known Grant personally in the
field, has travelled over the path of most
of his victories as an army correspondent,
and he had acquired great skill in max
ing books for popular reading. He has
investigated his subject with such success
as to bring many facts and documents of
great interest, bearing on the character
or achievements of Grant, which has es-
capped previous writers; while in all that
relates to personal qualities, the progress
in character, if we may so speak, of his
hero, Mr.. Richardson has given us the
lifeof Grant for general circulation. We
learn more about the man, in distinction
from the officer-in his whole career from
boyhood up to the present time-from
these pages than we can obtain from all
other sources.
The book is published at Hartford
by the American Publishing Company
and it is sold only by subscription. II
is handsome volume of $50 pages, with
clear paper and good type 1t abound:
in illustrations, which, for the most part
are excellent. Besides the portrait OF
the General, there are portraits Of hi:

cravings of his birthplace, of his father.

TENNEssEE.-Mr. Arnell, republican
candidate for Congress in Tennessee, late
~ appointed meeting at Columbia,
furious rebel town. The Ku-Klux warn
ed him that he must not speak. An au-
dience of 1000 people awaited his APP
pearance, out Of whom there were not
probably dozen Union men. Mr.. Ar
nell, without a friend, without a guard,
mounted the stand, and commenced to
tell the rebels some plain truths. He
was frequently interrupted, sometimes by
900 voices. A dozen times they tried to
make rush at him, and pistols were
drawn. But in spite of all this Mr.. Ar
nell stuck to his work, and for two hours
he patiently, calmly, but pointedly I'M
folded the errors Of the democratic par
ty, and the essential justice of the re-
publican cause, Such courage attracts
the brave. When the mob attempted a
final rush at Mr.. Arnell, group of ex-
rebel soldiers gathered around him, drew
their pistols, and swore that he should
not be harmed, and that he should be
allowed to finish his speech, which he
did. The democratic agents of the as
ISOLATED press throughout the South send
US plenty of details abont democratic
barbecues, &c. They never send us ac-
counts of such scenes as this.
