The Year 1865.

The last hours of another year are at
hand year whose events have been to
Americans as interesting as almost any since
the foundation of the Republic. 1t has
brought about the final settlement of ques-
lions that have threatened our peace for
many a day the last tribunal, the people,
has been appealed to, and its answer is not
to be mistaken. On the whole, this year
has been one of commercial prosperity the
business of mercantile and manufacturing
communities, has sometimes been healthier,
but the true foundation of prosperity con-
sists in the success of the farmers, and this
has been marked. Good crops are the rule
all over the country. The large production
and high price of cotton is doing marvels tor
the people of the South, and will materially
aid reconstruction and free labor.
The year began at home with a resolution
in Congress condemning the removal by the
President. of Gen. Sheridan, from his COM
mand at New Orleans. The cmbittered tx
e~cutive, sought comfort by stirring up the
famous War-D Department imbroglio, but was
bafled by the courage of Stanton, and the

Whereas, The President of the United
States has heretofore set forth several proc
lamations, offered amnesty and pardon To
persons who had been or were concerned in
the late rebellion against the lawful authority
of the United States, which p~roclamatious
were severally issued on the Sth day of De
cember, 1868, on the Goth day of March,
1864, on the Doth day of March, 1865, on
the 9TH day Of September, 1867, and on the
4th day of July, in the present year and
Whereas, The authority of the Federal
Government having been re-established in
all the States and Territories within the ju-
risdiction of the United States, it is be-
Iieved that such prudential reservations and
exceptions as, at the dates of said several
p~roclamations, were deemed necessary and
proper may now be wisely and justly re-
linquished, and that a universal amnesty and
pardon for participation in said rebellion, ex-
tended to all who have borne any part there
in, will tend to secure permanent peace,
order and prosperity throughout the land,
and to renew and fully restore confidence and
fraternal feeling among the whole people,
and their respect for and attachment to the
National Government designed by its patri-
otto founders for the general good,
Now, therefore, be it known that |, An

the name Of the sovereign people of the
United States, do hereby proclaim and de-
clare Internationally and without rescrva-
ton, to all and to every person who directly
or Indirectly participated in the late insur-
r~ection or rebellion a full pardon and amnes-

Mr.. EDITOR Several of your correspon
dents, very old and respectable no doubt. seem
to be wonderfully exercised as to the origin
of our PLANTATION BIrrERs. So long as
these Bitters are all that we represent them
to be, we do not know that it makes any
difference from whom they come, or from
whence they originated but for the inior-
nation of the public generally, and old CdPi;
Vents in particular, We will say that he tolg
the truth. and that these Bittors originates
in the West India Islands-that many OF tie
ingredients have been favorably used for over
a century, but our combination of Calisays3
is Ell tirely new, and our own. The rum anu
other materials are the same, and as your
correspondent says, a better Bitters and Ionic
is not made. We recommend them particu-
larly for d~yspeptics, fever and sguc, debility
loss of appetite, and in all cases where q
tonic and stimulant is required.

The Montpelier and Wells River
Railroad.

We give elsewhere in this paper. in the
action of the people of Montpelier in town
meeting, what may fairly be regarded as a
very promising beginning of the work of
building a railroad from Montpelier to Wells
River. The people of the town are so en-
tirely agreed upon, and SO completely alive
to the Importance of this projected road, that
it would have been easy to have voted two
hundred thousand dollars in aid of the en-
tcrprise, if the law allowed it.. AS it was,
the vote was unanimous, in q meeting fairly
representing the various interests of the
town, in favor of raising the full amount

DEATH OF GEN. SToUGHToN.-We regret to
learn of the death IN Friday last, in Boston,
of Gen. Edward II. Stoughton, eldest son of
Hon. Ii E. %Stoughton of Bellows Falls. Gen.
%Stoughton had good natural abilities and re-
ceived a West Point education, graduating
in 1859. He served in the regular army as
a Lieutenant of infantry for two years, being
stationed for the most part in New Mexico.
He resigned early in 1861, and in August of
that year received the appointment from
Gov. Fairbanks of Colonel of the Fourth
Vermont Volunteer Regiment. He served
throughout the Pcninsular campaign and
did brave and excellent service in the field.
Ia November, 1862, he was nominated by
President Lincoln as Brigadier-General and
at once assigned to the Second Vermont
Brigade, which had just entered the service.
He remained with his command, having
headquarters at Fairfax e. H, until the
memorable raid of the guerrilla Moshy in
March, 1868, when he was captured and
taken as a prisoner to RichIEond. Here he
was detained some weeks until his release
was effected by the personal exertions of his
friend and classmate, F%itzhugh Lee. Gen
~Stoughton then left the army and assiduous-
" applied himself TO the study Of the law,
and in due time became associated in the
practice of his profession with his Uncle.
Edwin w. Stoughton, a brilliant advocate
and jurist of New York city. Some months
since symptoms of lung disease became ap-
parent, and in spite Of the skill of the best
physicians of New York and Boston, Gen.
~>toughton has, in the prime of life, passed
away. As a soldier he had fine presence,
was an excellent tactician, and popular with
his command. His bravery was never
doubted. Socially he was brilliant, and his
agreeable company was ever eagerly sought
for in all circles of society. lie leaves a
host Of sorrowful friends, not only in his
native State but wherever he was
