The BATTLE OF GETTYsBURGH.-T
few who enjoyed the rare feast of seeing
and examining the picture of the battle
of Gettysburgh which increases with new
beauty each time one views it, and listen
ing to the delineations and story from bis
lips will be grateful to Col. Batchelder
for coming to Rutland, although it has
proved disaster to him financially. Hun.
dreds in our ton who have missed the
best opportunity they will ever have of
seeing this great work of art, will in years
to come travel hundreds of miles to get a
view of the painting which they have
failed to appreciate now. We regret, on
his account and the credit of the town.
that the picture was exhibited in Rutland,
for the reason that it indicates so little
love or appreciation of high art. The
small audiences have been sad commen.
tary on the culture and taste Of our citi-
zens. We presume the exhibition of q
panorama of the grotesque and ridiculous,
would draw crowded house. He goes
from here to Bennington. So great has
been the desire Of the citizens of that
town to see the painting that they have
rendered him stated sum of money in
advance to secure its exhibition there.
Col. Batchelder leaves for Esrope soon, to
place the painting on exhibition in some
OF the larger cities Of the old world.

PUBLIC OPINION IN PARIs.-A friend
writing from Paris says that public opin-
ion in Paris may be divided into three
classes: First, there are the property
holders, who in their hearts will hail the
Prussians as deliverers from the uneer-
tain mercies of the popular crowds; but
who, when three of them get together,
rival each other in loud pretestations and
determinations to spend the last franc and
shed the last drop of blood rather than
surrender. Then, second, are the work.
ing people, who are so totally impover-
ished that they have nothing to lose, and
who hail every change in the wild hope
of lettering their condition. Lastly, land
this is the smallest class come the patriots
and the fanatics, who are in earnest in
their desire to save France. What will be
the end of it all2 When the Prussians
come, as they must sooner or later, the
mob will murmur until they discover that
the Germans are not cannibals. The
property holders will hail the 100000 in
vaders as SO many protectors from the
fury of the starving populace. They will
pretend to look sad, no doubt; and those
of their daughters who have becoming
compilations will put on mourning, while
the fathers hurry away to count over in
the secrecy of their vaults the money
that they have been able to keep out of
the public treasury The mob will retire
to it's haunts and impatiently wait for the
day when they can again emerge to
carnival of disorder, and heot themselves
into notoriety.

LEGIsLATING FOR THE PUBLIC COOP,
Nor FOR CLIQUEs.-On the occasion of
the organization of the North Carolina
House of Representatives, few days

legislate for party or clique, tut for
the people Of the whole State. Every

guished or humble, must be made to feel

EXPENSES DECREAsING.-It is said
that the department estimates for neces'

year are, for the most part, lower than
those submitted last year, but many OF
them are larger than they would have
been had not Congress enacted at its last
session that all unexpended balance at the
close of the fiscal year shall be conveyed
into the Treasury. This will leave every
account on the national ledgers without g
dime to its credit ON the first of July
1871, and the appropriations must be suf
ficiently large to meet all demands from
them until the 30th of June, 1872.

TRANSPORTATION OF IMroRTED GOODS.
1t is said that Congress will be asked by
the leading railroads to modify the pro-
visions of the act authorizing the trans
porta.ion of imported goods from the sea
coast to the interior, and the Western
members will urge the desired modifi-
cations. The features to which the most
objection is made is the compulsory ap-
pointment of special inspectors on the
railroad routes. to be paid by transporting
companies, and the prohibition against
carrying any goods not bonded in oars de-
voted to that service, which are to be run,
whether full or empty. On the other
hand, it is agreed that unless there are
very stringent regulations this transport

difficulty Of freezing fish. The salt her
ring fishery at the Bay of Islands proved
profitable the Magdalen Islands herring
fishery was total failure; the Bank fish
cries have been successful /; the Bay of St..
