plighted faith to every citizen who has
foresworn and renounced all allegiance
and fidelity to foreign powers, and to
protect him equally with the native
born citizen, by the strength of its right
arm, in the pursuits of life, whether at
home or abroad.
Resolved, That on every battlefield
from Lexington to Petersburgh, citizens
of the United states, of foreign BIRTH
have freely shed their blood in behalf of
their adopted country, and attested the
sincerity of their love of liberty and
equal rights, the only boon of freemen;
and that we pledge ourselves to agitate
this subject until all monarchial govern
ments have learned and are forced to adj
NIT that person once admitted to the
rights and privileges of citizen of the
United States is no longer called upon to
submit to their tyrannical power, and
till such governments do not question
his nationality
Resolved, That the honor and dignity
of this great Republic requires, in order
to sustain it's sacred pledge to the natur-
allied citizen, the recognition by the
world of the principle that 'once natur-
allied. forever absOlved from all foreign
aIlegiance,n and that no power shall
maintain doctrines at variance there

OUR Barton contemporary is response
BILE for the following:
Glover has a smart old woman of 81,
who had an offer of marriage the other
day, from a man SIS years old, and how
TOLD MIN she could take care of herself.
She works out for wages and can do as
much as many young women. But it Is
nothing for Glover to have smart old
women or young ones either; 1t has any
number of them.
Miss Elnora Blanchard-a lpdy of
twenty summers-took rife with II
inch barrel, few days since, and fired
at a hen thirty rods distant, and broke
its leg at the first fire. She then fired
at another one. and put bullet plump
through its body. Two birds at two
shots at thirty rods is good shooting for
a lady or gentleman either. Col. Eaton
shouid make her acquaintance at once.

Sequel to the 6aftIe OF Faisciew.

The account of the battle of Fairyiew,
which appears on ourfirst page, reminds
US of another matter that associates the
18th New jersey regiment with the Old
Vermont Brigade. The Jerseys in ques-
ton were nine months regiment, and
upon their reaching the Army of the
Potomac Were brigaded in the Old Vt.
Brigade, in the Autumn Of 1862, at Hag-
erstown. This was the only regiment
during the war that formed with the
Nermonters any part of the I'd Brigade,
I'd Division of the6th Corps. Upon their
accession to the Brigade, the old troops
had already become experienced and
masters of the art of war;" in-so-much
as ii was necessary for them to acquire
the knowledge of the ways to subsist
themselves, and yet there was sense of
honor which forbade them at all times
In pillaging from each other. These
things, which the soldiers were slow to
learn at the outset, became easier under
stood as the war progressed. The Jer-
sey boys profiting by the experience of
their older associates, soon were their
equals, If they did not surpass them in
the aght.fngered exercise,
From time to time, articles were mis-
SEQ from the Subsistence Locker of the
vermont troops. 1t was evident that
'e jersey boys had their winning ways
or ways to win. This was not in ac-
oruance with the old adage that there

TAXING SHARES OF NATIONAL BANKS.
The following is the text of the bill
originally introduced by Representative
Blaine, OF Maine, in regard to taxing
shares of National Banks. 1t passed
both branches. Itnow goes to the Presi-
dent for his approval, and there seems
to be no doubt that he will sign it:
"Be 1t enacted, etc, That the words
place where the bank is located and not
elsewhere in section Il of the 'act to
provide for a national currency APP
proved June 3, 1864, shall be construed
and held TO mean the State within which
the bank is located, and the legislature
of each State may determine and direct
the manner and place of taxing all the
shares Of national banks located within
said States, subject 10 the restriction
that the taxation shall not be at great
errate than is assessed upon monied capt.
al in the hands of individual citizens of
such State, and providing always that
the shares of any national bank owned
by non residents OF any State shall be
taxed in the city and town where said
bank is located and not elsewhere"
