The TeI.I,,O,,t Brigade.

Have the boys Of the brigade ever
heard Of "Three Years in the Sixth
Corps" by Surgeon Stevens of the 18th
n. Y. Volunteers? Here is specimen
briek-Of both the book and the brigade:
1" In marching from BOOnsbOrO to-
wards FunkstOwn, the Vermont brigade
in advance of the corps, the little stream,
Beaver Creek, was passed, and General
Howe found Buford's cavalry in his adj
vance holding q strong position against
the skirmishers of the rebel Infantry,
At General BufOrd's request, Gen. Howe
sought and obtained permission 10 send
the Vermont Brigade TO relieve the cav
airy Col. Lewis with his Filth Yer
mont and part OF the Second, and Col
Barney with the Sixth regiment, al
once depIoyed a. skirmishers, forming
their lines two miles long. The Third
and Fourth regiments were supporting
battery, and the balance OF the Sc
cOnd was held in reserve. They saw
the rebel infantry approach strip OF
woods in front Of them, and at once adj
vanced and occupied it themselves.
Against this long, thin line of skirm-
ishers the relels opened severe fire OF
artillery and musketry, and advanced
to drive the skirmishers from their pO-
sition; but the brave mOuntaineers new
er dreaming that Sixth Corps skirm-
ish line could not hold rebel line OF
battle, resOlutely refused to leave, and
sent the presumptuOus line OF battle to
the rearin confusion not, however, un~
til Col. StouChton with the Fourth and
Col. Seaver with the Third came for
ward to the support of the Fifth and
Sixth. Again, the rebels, disguised at
being repulsed by skirmish line, came
up in several lines of battle and charged
upon the VermOnters, and they again
went to the rear in confusion. A third
charge was made against the obstinate
skirmish line, and third time the at
tack was broken. Meanwhile a strong
force attempting to cross the Antietam
and come in on the flank was repealed
by the Second Vermont
The gallant brigade had repealed An
dersOn's brigade ofseven large regiments
from its front and another from its flank
An instance of skirmish line a mile
and half from any support, resisting
troops in line of battle, is rarely found
in the history of armies,
The men used from sixty to eighty
rounds of cartridge, and when the first
supply was exhausted fresh one was
brought 10 the front on stretchers.
The victory cost the brigade loss OF
nine men killed and fifty-nine wound
ed, while the enemy lost more than two
hundred men,

THE PATRIARCH AND His SoNs.-A
meeting of the five sons of the Rev.
Ammi Nichols took place recently in
their native town in Braintree, at the
home of their venerable father. The oc-
casiOn was one of deep interest, for such
a meeting had not occurred before for
thirty years and it was brought about
by the statement which went the rounds
of the papers some weeks ago, that Faith
er Nichols is the patriarch of Vermont
ministers. A copy of that statement
strayed into the hands of one of the sons
resident in Illinois, who, feeling that he
must see that patriarch before he died,
sent to his brothers in Wisconsin and
Minnesota, and all came together to the
old home in Vermont, still the home of
of one of the sons. A photograph Of the
group-the father and five sons-was TIA
ken; and while conversing together of
the need of parsonage on Braintree
Hill, and the improbability of the feeble
church and society being able to build
one alone, it was proposed that mas
much as the family's circle of friends is
large, the picture be advertised for sale
each copy being sold for two dollars,
at a profit of one dollar and half, which
shall go towards the parsonage fund for
Braintree. Notice is hereby given to
this effect, and all persons desiring to
obtain family picture of rare interest,
as well as to aid the feeble church in
Braintree, are requested to address by
letter, Miss A. H. Nichols, West Ran
dolph, Vermont Vermont Chronicle.

PREVIOUS CASES OF IMPEACHMENT
The Rochester Democrat says the fol-
lowing cases of the impeachment Of pub
lie officers have already occurred in the
history of the United States. In 1897,
William BlOunt, Senator from Ten
nessee, was impeached for having in
trigued to transfer New Orleans to Great
Britain; in 1903, John Pickering, Jus.
sice of the District Court of the District
of New Hampshire, was impeacEed on
four ch argos; one Of which alleged that
he was man of loose morals and intern
perate habits. In 1905, the impeach-
ment of Samuel Chase, as Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States, was the cause of great pubic eX-
element. In 1880, James III. Peck,
Judge for the District OF Missouri, was
impeached of high misdemeanors. The
latest cases are those of Judge Watrous.
of Texas, who was impeached in 1857.
and of Judge West III. Humphreys. of
Tennessee, who in 1862 was fmpeached
for completely in the gebellipn.

Having had some little experience IN
caucuses during late years, we desire to
make some practical suggestions upon
the manner in which they should he
conducted We trust that these sugges-
tions viii be the more appreciated just
at this time, from the fact that delegates
are being appointed from the several
towns in this District to the State and
District Conventions.
While it is generally conceded that
Gen. Grant win be nominated for the
Presidency, it is all important that The
primary proceedings should be hmkQ-
tory, and that as few people as possible
should have voice in the meeting-.
Only few votes viii be required TO elect
him. and the disfranchised people viii
be pleased TO be lef. outside Ia the first
place moderator of the right stamp
should be selected to preside over the
meeting-an old stager-one who has
had experience in the business. In this,
IL to be found a lone hand in euchre.
Those who would win, should be on
hand promptly at the appointed mo-
ment, and carry the elections with a
dash. Committees on nominations
should not be appointed, as this viii
consume too much time, and by it the
people might suppose they had some
voice in the elections.
The names Of the delegates should al
be written plainly upon single slip OF
paper, TO insure correct record by the
Secretary; should be presented by one
man, and be elected by acclamation.
Every one viii readily see the propriety
in this, a. some mistakes might be made
ly reclamation, Were everybody to nom
mate. If any objections are made 10
this method ofgrinding wheat, rye, oats
and potatoes at the same grist, they
should be overruled. The wheat should
be used TO put the potatoes through the
mill.
Not more than one officer or soldier in
the late war should be intrusted with an
election for delegate, and he should be a
man who has no sympathy with his late
comrades. II would he well to have a
list of alternates also, written out upon a
piece Of paper in the same manner for
contingencies. But if this is overlooked,
and it is proposed 10 elect alternates, OBJ
jections should be promptly raised.
some unworthy men might be elected
by acciamatiop; anybody can be elected
byacclamation, and the town committee
should be empowered to fill all vacan-
eies. BY these means time could be OBJ
tanned TO fill the vacancies with the right
men, in case any vacancies should hap
pen. When the business is accomplish
ed as pre-arranged, you should publish
20 the world that the people of the party
have had a caucus. BY mentioning, the
people, it viii give the whole thing
character
Disinterested people viii always adj
nire this manner Of proceeding. and YOU
will be as sure TO obtain their votes as a
piek-pocket is to Toe applauded by the
bye-standers.

MINUTE.

The committee appointed with re-
ference to the removal of the late Bishop
Of this Diocese-the President of this
ConVocation-bcg leave TO report the fol-
lowing minute:
Our meeting a. Il Convention, at the
present time, is rendered sad by the alb
-ence OF one xhO has long been accust-
omed to lead our deVotiOns and preside
over our devotiOnS and preside over our
deliberations. Il has pleased our Iicav-
enly Father to take out of this life the
soul Of our beloved Bishop, Right Rec.
John HWcy Hopkins, ID, LTD,
D.CL. Or0H. We bow with iilial sub
mission, but deepest sorrow 10 this dis
pensation We rememberwith chasten-
ca pleasure the scenes of our late meet
ing al Windsor, when We expressed our
gratitude for his safe return from Eng
land, and our hope for many years of
service in the church of Christ, under
his wise and mild direction. His place,
however, at the altar and in our cOun-
ellis il now vacant. tnderthese circum-
stances, it is at once a pleasure and a
filial duty TO recall TO our minds his no.
BILE presence and Christian courtesy
During Nirty-fCc gears he did faithful
" the high and sacred dutits of a bishop.
His great learning ana singular accomp-
lishments were most freely used for the
advantage and honor of the church.
With paternal tenderness he was ever
ready to sympathize with the sorrowful
and guide the erring. In the fullness OF
ge, he has passed on to higher and
more perfect state of being. For him
we do not weep. He is at rest. We are
thankful for his good example. And
we do devoutly hope that we may so
follow him, that when the Master shall
call Us from our work. We may be found,
rs he was, watchful and duigent.-
While we cherish for ourselves these
sentiments, we remember with profound
regard and sympathy his faithful and
afiectionate wife; and we do pray our
dear Lord Christ to give her, in her Wild
owhood, the support and sweetest COM
forts of religion.
