to US from . neighboiing state, but in ira
Yelling so far does not seem to have lost
any Of its freshness OF originality;
"The bride was arranged in white
stockings and CATERS, surmounted by q
blue silk dress trimmed with white. From
the shoulders to the elbows hung d fake

hnem, they were, around her neck and

fashioned for stars and other heavenly

with a bunch of white flowers over the
left ear. The groom, arranged in black,
with long square-tocd boots, white kid
gloves, standing collar with u shoe string
around it, was the pattern Of matrimonial
~meckness. They stood in a corner like a
pillar of salt in a COW yard both looking as
though they had been well licked, while

be introduced to them. The bride stand

"Mr. B.-Mrs. A" A right angle was

mentioned Strengthened out 7-S of an

Agitation.

Was there ever anything desirable or
valuable in the history of legislation Sc.
cured without the measure being first ag-
itatcd by what the conservative element
denominates "crazy enthusiastic dis
turbers Of the public peace with their
hair-brained theories" and echo answers
was there ever?
Was there cver anything in the true
interests of humanity attained without
long continued, persistent agitation?
Were the eloquent warnings and plead
ings of a Wherefore, Charming, Fox, or
a Brougham, at first needed or even pa
tiently listened to by the English nation ?
Or was it after the unwearied, persist
ent agitation of years that the public
conscience became aroused and the Brit
ish people arose in their might, broke the
shackles of the bondmen and bid the
slave 60 free
What has destroyed the slave power in
these States?

tradiction, hat it was agitation and moth.
ing else, for such spirits as a Washington,
a Jefferson, a Whitefeld, a Lovejoy, a
Sumner, and last but not least, our hon.
ored nations Martyr, ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
gave the subject no rest, but faithful to
the trusts to them committed, agitated
and re-agitated the question until the
whole North was ready for the "irre.
pressible conflict" which only ended wher
the glorious Starry Flag foated only over
"The land of the free and the home O
the brave.'' until from the burning lane
of the sun, to the icebcrgs of the frozer
pole, freemen alone dwelt in free, happy
America.
Agitation has also won noble, glorious
victims on other fields of strife than those
of the warrior who only counts his TIL
umph by the extent Of the woe and desc
lation he has caused it has assisted and
been the harbinger of success to TIT
champions of the Temperance movement
What gave the great Irish apostle
Father Mathew the position of peer il
his crusade against King Alcohol?
What strengthened the arms and hearts
of our own Dow, and a thousand others
We have just suffered a defeat No,
that is not the word, a reverse, in the re,
lection by the Legislature Of our State, o.
a bill that proposed to put a partial STOP
to this food of rum.selling that We have
been so much cursed Without, shall We
surrender our vested rights thus tamely,
traitorously?
No, NEVER! Aslong as we have the
right to free speech and a free press,
ought we to lay down our arms to our
enemies, and the foes of true reform?
Again say, NO! But do say agi-
tate this question thoroughly, firmly, in
our pulpits, at the legal bar, sin season
and put of season." and the time will
surely come, that as Glorious, Free YER
mont led the armies of Freedom in the
struggle with slavery, so will she lead the
Cohorts of Temperance.

Congress.

Congress met on Monday, and eonsid-
cred the Presidents Message, and trans
acted some routine business preparatory
to the work Of the session.
On Tuesday, perhaps, the most impor-
tant business before the House was the
consideration of the land grant bill which
after some discussion, Mr.. Ella moved to
lay it on the table, which motion was
agreed to by Il vote Of SO to so. This
vote at this early day is considered indi-
cative of the purpose of Congress to do
BATTLE against the system of giving away
all the lands to railroad companies.
In the Senate, Friday, Mr.. Simmer Of
fered a e solution asking for the CORES
pcndencc and all instructions to Consuls
and naval officers, relating to the pro-
posed annexation of San Domingo, and
for information regarding the relations Of
San Domingo with Hayti, France and
other European Powers. 1t was laid
over temporarily, and ordered to be print
ed. Mr.. Casscrly offered a resolution
asking for minute information as to when
and where, and at whose request the ar
my and navy were employed to aid the
civil power, State or Federal, either by
enforcing the Revenue laws, or assisting
in any manner at the State or Federal
elections, or contests arising out Of the
same, or preserving the public peace, ex-
cept in Indian disturbances, or in any
way other than guarding and preserving
the forts, posts, and places and property
of the United States. 1t was so ordered.
Among the bills introduced was one to
discontinue the ranks of Admiral and
Vicc-Admiral in the navy after vacan-
cies occur. in the same, and to reduce the
number of Rear. Admirals to three, and
of Commodores to six by omission to fill
vacancies hereafter occurring. A bill
was also introduced to regulate rank in
the navy, which provides for a Surgeon
General and Paymaster- General and
Engincer-i n Chief, to rank with Commo-
dores and for other grades relatively, to-
gcther with the order of precedence in all
grades in the line and staff. Adverse re-
port was made no the bill giving State
Courts concurrent jurisdiction with Dis
trict Courts of the United States in cases
of maritime contracts on rivers and waters
above the ebb and flow of the tide The
Senate, about ! p. m, went into Execu-
tive Session, and an hour afterward ad-
journed until Monday. The House was
not in session.
On Wednesday,, both Houses went
quietly Mt their work. n few bills were
introduced. The House considered Il bill
to revise and consolidate the statutes re,
lating to the Post-ofice Department. The
Judiciary Committee of the Senate will
report in favor of the abolition Of the
eight hour law. Representative Hill, Of
New Jersey will introduce a bill in a few
days providing for the introduction of
postal card letters, which have been used
for several years in Germany, but have
but recently been introduced in Great
Britain.
On Thursday it was announced thai
Gen. Butler will call up his Amnesty
bill on Tuesday. lie has informed sew
eral gentlemen that he will leave it oper
for amendment, and will not attempt tt
press it to a vote under the operation o
a previous question.

The LATE BArrLEs-INTEREsrING DETAILS.
London, Dec. I. A correspondent at
the headquarters Of the Saxon army, at
Champs, tclegraphs that the whole Saxon
forces engaged in recent operations were
but 10000 men. They occupied positions
at Noisey lie Grand, Coumay, and Will
ers, and in their vicinity was a division Of
Wurtemburgers, commanded by General
Won Obewct2, II Prussian officer. The
Wurtemburgcrs occupied positions at Or
mosson, Chenevieres and Noisson, and in
their vicinity was a brigade of the Second
Corps. This force was made up Of con-
tributions from various other portions of
the same corps, and was commanded by
%rection of all the operations, supervised,
however, as regarded the Saxons, by
Prince George, in person, whose needless
ness Of danger must have sorely tired the
nerves of his staff. The contingent force
was supported by Wurtemburgers. The
Saxons had no backing but their own val
or.
In all, the German troops engaged and
Immediately supporting amounted to d..
900 men. This force had been detailed
for an offensive movement, and the pro-
grammc was greatly complicated by an
unexpected counter-offensivc movement by
the French against Villiers, and with the
hope of ultimately breaking through the
Gordon surrounding them. 1t thus hap
pened hat as the Germans were pressing
in to drive the French out of Brie and
Cbampigny, the French were simultane-
ously pouring out to take Villiers. The
battle ragged fiercely over broken country
to the southwest of Champs.
1t was in and around these villages
Brie, Villiers and Champigny-that the
bloody drama was enacted the day before
yesterday. The Saxons stood fast in Viii
liers in spite of all the French troops and
forts could do to dislodge them. Brie and
Champingny, lying close under the guns
of Fort Nugend, and the strongly armed
earthworks at Raisontrie, on the verge of
the forest of Vi%ncennes, overhanging St.
Maur, remain in the hands of the French.
Tours, Dec. 8. Montargis, in the De-
partment Of the Loire, has been evacuat-
ed by the Germans
The Army of the Loire has again start
ed on a forward movement.
Advices from Paris have been received
by balloon. The situation was satisfacto-
ry. The Prussians were actually at work
constructing defensive works in the rear Of
the lines from which the French recently
drove them. A large number Of prisoners
had arrived at Paris, captured in the bat

more than acceptable. The children
have come to the conclusion that Middle

necessary consequence all Of them wish
to go to Middlebury to live. Perhaps
they think that Thanksgiving lasts all the
year round in Middlcbury. va r
| cannot adequately express our graft
tude to the citizens Of M%iddlebury and
adjoining towns for their liberality in
sending such an abundant supply OF
potatoes and other vegetables for the
comfort Of the family at the "Ilomc."
Since the institution was first opened,
its winter stores have never been Sc
bountiful as at the present time for which
we are indebted to Middlebury more than
amy other place. We heartily thank you
for your bounty and pray that each in
dividual donor, may find in his own cx-
