The First Train over the Addison
Railroad.
AN EXCURSION FROM PORT HENRY.

The first train, consisting of engine.
baggage and one passenger coach filled
with excursionists, left Port Henry at 8
o'clock on Wednesday, passing over the
Addison Railroad to Whiting and from
thence to Rutland. The people of Port
Henry. who came on the excursion, were
in high glee over the fact that they could
come to Rutland by railroad, gain access
to the outer world, and that they will not
be compelled to hibernate as they have
been compelled to do in the past. They
spent several hours looking over the town
and shopping, and returned to their
homes in the afternoon by special train.
They were escorted to Rutland by Super
intendent Burditt.
Our Port Henry friends came and went
80 quickly that our people hardly knew
OF their presence in town. They had not
been duly heralded as they ought to have
been, for it was the intention of our citi-
zens at the opening of the road to have
given them q cordial and rousing well
come and banquet, but our friends over
the lake were altogether too modest in
not giving an intimation, even of their
coming. We have lost this opportunity
of making their acquaintance, and giving
them such cordial welcome as is due to
those who are now our neighbors, and they
lost good banquet. But there are other
days coming when Rutland will be on
hand with her banners flying.
Rutland congratulates the people over
the lake and all along the line of the Ad.
iisen on the early opening of this import
ant thoroughfare, which has in store such
blessings for them and our own town
We are now neighbors and let our inter
change of visits, commodities, business
relations be frequent as we have every
reason to believe they will be reciprocal
aud pleasant. This road is of great i'm
6 o ,tance in a business point of view to
he people along the line. and no less i'm
portaut to the business of Rutland, and
we assure our friends that Rutland bids
them most cordial welcome.

Governor of Virginia's Messa ge.
RICHMOND, Va, Dsc.l6.


RICHMOND, Va, Dsc.l6.
The legislature organized to-day.
Gov. Walkers message speaks of uni
versal suffrage and equal rights before the
law as having been conducive to t he good
and stable rebuilding of government
under it. Virginia enjoyed degree OF
peace and good order and obedience to
law excelled by none of her sister States.
He favors immigration, recommends
equalization of taxation, eulogizes school
system which is successful beyond the ex-
pectstion of it's warmest friends and ap-
proves the system for funding the public
debt adopted by the last legislature.
He recommends an amendment to the
constitution for holding all State elections
on the same day every two years and on
different day from the federal elections
He thinks this change necessary in con-
sequence of the passage of an act by Con-
gress which, under the guiss of regulat-
ing the election of Congressman seeks to
control the affairs of the States.
The Governor recapitulates the arbi-
tary acts of Congress and the President
and denounces these encroschments on
the rights of the people and particularly
the recent suspension of the habeas corpus
in South Carolina.
He says that we have passed through a
terrible ordeal of secession but the recoil
has carried Us to the other extreme, and
the dangers which menaced us in 1861
are finding parallel in 1871. 1t is time
that an alarm bell was sounded and the
people awakened to a sense of the danger
impending. They alone can apply the
correction. They have the means in their
own hands, let them insist that the doc
trine of the indestruotibility of the
Union as our fathers framed it
shall be recognized and the original and
inherent sovereignty by the States, and
strict administration of the powers grant
ed BY them TO the Union again be ao-
knowleged. Let them demand the in
of the hsbeas corpus. The
of the military to the civil
authority, the inviolability of the public
faith and in State and national uutarnish- !
ed honesty in the administration of public |
affairs. The publication and reduction
of the tariff and taxation to the lowest
degree consistent with the maintenance
Of public credit, free education for all.
A fostering care and encour agement of
labor and finally and permanently uni
Versal amnesty and impartial suffrage.
Not until people rise in their msiority
and reasse rt their liberties now trampled
on; not until kindness has superseded |
hate, and not until patriotism has super
seded partisan selfshness, may we look
for inauguration of an era of good feeling.
Let Us hope that patriots and statesmen,
good men and christians everywhere |
the land, regardless OF past |
or affiliations, will unite in |
honest and earnest efferts to redeem the |
nation from this unnatural and dangerous
condition of affairs, to the end that peace
and harmony be again restored among the ,
people. so that the nation, united, puritle a
and harmonized, may march onward. 10

The New York Tribune says "In pre-
pairing the history of the Prussian War

author of this volume has not limited
himself to a compilation of events from
different authorities, but has aimed at re-
producing the abundant matter furnished
by eye witnesses at the scene of action in
compact and we'll digested narrative
He has made careful study of the
movements of the two great armies and
their positions in the principal battles of
the war, and has succeeded IN giving con.
siderable vitality to his description of the
details. A good deal of valuable infor-
nation is given in the preliminary chap
ters, which are devoted to an explanation
of the causes of the war. to the military,
naval and financial positions of the two
countries. and to Biographical sketches of
the prominent military men and civilians
who have figured in the progress of the
contest. No single volume has been is

its practical utility, are increased by the
copious appropriate illustrations which
serve not merely for establishment but
for information"

homo from a visit to distant part of the

some seventy five in all, making free With

and very happy. They had got out the
long extension table, stretched it to its
greatest length, and loaded it with all the
good things that could be thought of, evil

the contrary, they all seemed very much
pleased at their coming, greeted them
cordially, and treated them kindly as
could we'll be imagined, feasting them to

the night that Mr.. and Mrs. Stone again

the very best intentions, on account of
which they have reason TO be grateful
rather than otherwise.

New YORK, Dec. 6.
The following official letter explains the
position of the Western Union Telegraph
Company in relation to the postal tele-
praph scheme:
New YORK, Dec. 6.
Hon. JAMES B. BECK, NJ. c., Washing
ton:
You are reported in the morning papers
as having stated in the House yesterday
that whereas the Western Union Tele-
graph had opposed the assumption of the
telegraph by the government before the
last Congress, you understood it to have
changed its position and to be now anxious
for it. Permit me to assure you that you
have been misinformed. The Western
Union Company is inhexibly opposed to
any interference of the government with
their business.
A meeting of the board of directors was
held this morning, which was largely at
tended, and resolution was unanimously
passed protesting against the right and the
policy of any acquisition of their property
and rights by the government. A commit
tee consisting of Hon. Horace F. Clark,
Hon. A. B. Cornell, Hon. Edwin D. Nor
gan, Moses Taylor and myself, was ap-
pointed to prepare and send to Washing
ton protest against the suggested action
of the government, and to claim its pro-
lection against interference and against
the policy of the establishment by the gov
eminent of a competitive enterprise.
