"Winning Losers"
BRANDON, Oct. goth, Is

BRANDON, Oct. goth, 1870.
Editor Rutland HeyaM Your leading
article, winning LOSERS" in yesterdays
HERALD, seems to have the ring of the
true metal. Northern papers and north
ern people are too much inclined to con-
ciliatory course towards our enemies of
the South. How ridiculous that the
whole country should go into mourning
over the death of Lee. One northern pa
per regrets his early death "for brave, and
true, and noble men like Gen. Lee are too
rare in these times" What are we COM
ing to p? Who ever heard of a rebel who
was brave, or true, or noble Their whole
course during the war showed them to be
towards, never attacking the boys in blue
unless they outnumbered us three to one,
aud even then they were always whipped.
You truly say our triumph twas not
the triumph of arms" The South had
every advantage of u.s. Outnumb boring us
with fearful odds, they had all the world
flying to their standard. While in arms
and army supplies they had all they could
wish and yet with all these advantages
they never gained victory, and our
brave but half starved boys in blue
whipped them out in the short space of
four years
And why? Because, as you truly say,
"au the right was on one side and all the
wrong on the other" It was indeed So
war of IDEAS" and their ideas were all
wrong. They had been educated to be-
lieve that slavery was right because the
virtuous descendants of the Puritans held
slaves as long as they could make them
profitable and then sold them to the
South because northern men and north
ern ships had brought the slaves from
Africa; because the Bible sanctioned
slavery because the Constitution recog-
nized them as right And yet after being
told by the pious people of New England
that the institution was wrong, and that
they must give up their slaves, they were
still obstinate enough to fight for their
property and their old fogy notions of
right, but as they had no rights recog-
missed by the progressive Yankee, they
were deservedly whipped and their pro-
perty taken from them. They mot only
deserved defeat in arms, but the hearty
condemnation of all just, and truly and
wholly civilized people"
Since the war they have sho Rn them
selves totally unworthy of the respect and
sympathy of this progressive age, in their
unwillingness to acknowledge the great
superiority of the noble negro over the
white. Because they pay the taxes they
complain that the government does not
allow them to vote. What presumption.

alone should be allowed to vote and hold

From the Montpelier Journal.
The Modern Hall,

The severest commentary that has been
made upon the Jail system of New Eug-
land was the murder of the warden of the
Connecticut State Prison at Weathers-
field. The incidents of the trial which
followed the murder were quite note
worthy. At the opening of the trial the
counsel for the defence left his place and
gave notice to the Court that the prisoner
desired to conduct his own case. One of
the deputy wardens testified that the
prisoner was confined in the dark cell for
forty-eight hours previous TO his assault
upon the warden. The Court refused to
allow the prisoner to ask further ques-
tions in respect to the discipline and
punishment of the prison, which he de-
sired to propose, aud consequently we
have no other revelations about the prison
treatment which excited him to the MUIR
der and which justified him, to his own
mind, in committing it
At the close of the trial, when asked
what he had to say why sentence of death
should not be pronounced upon him, he
replied, 81 have only 10 say that | do not
feel that have been tried. | am perfect.
ly satisfied with the result. To be hanged
will be au act of supreme mercy compared
with living in the Connecticut State
Prison, as | have BEEN" He was sentenced
to execution, the sentence to be carried
into effect in twelve months. Upon being
remanded to his cell he attempted TO starve
himself to death, and for nine days not
particle of food or drink passed his lips );
but in the physical prostration and weak
ness caused by this process he naturally
and necessarily lost his self-control and
partook at last of the food that was
brought to him. 1t is evident however
that when in possession of all his facul.
ties he preferred death by starvation to
the twelve months imprisonment, as he
nad chosen the scsffold before rather than
i've within the prison walls.
we nave no knowledge of the character
OF this man We may believe that be was
obstinate, brutal, cruel and extremely
wicked, that he was wholly wrong in his
attempt to escape. But it does not take
away the force of commentary MON tbe
management of the prison, nor lead us 70

THE IRON CLAD CAPTAIN.-The latest
foreign journals give in detail the finding
of the court-martial on the loss of the
iron-clad Captain. The Court says that
the vessel was capeized by the pressure OF
sail, assisted by the heave of the sea, and
that the amount Of sail carried at the
time of the loss was insufficient to have
endangered ship endowed with proper
amount of stability. The Court also
found that the Captain was built in OPP
position to the views of the English Navy
Department, but in Difference to public
opinion, as expressed in Parliament and
through other channels.
