The Legislature Of Vermont, at its last
session, authorized the Governor and Ad

engraved testimonial to be presented tc
every honorably discharged soldier Of
Volunteers of the State of Vermont, as a
token of appreciation of his services on the
part of the State, or to the widow or mex
of kin of such as have died. This duty
has been performed, and the testimonials
are now ready for distribution. The en-
craving is printed on sheet 10 by p
inches. The design is reasonably tasteful
and appropriate. In Ia medallion at the
top is the portrait Of the late General and
Governor Peter 7. Washburn, the faith.

Vermont Volunteers himself under whom
every quota of the State was filed, with

for enduring memory. The medallion is
surrounded by flags and bayouets, while

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. II

The result of the recent State elections
are, exceedingly satisfactory to the people
residing here from the different parts of
the country save in the State of Virginia,
where, had the Republicans been properly
organized, it is well understood, the De-
mocracy or so called CONSERVATIVES would
have met with a most signal defeat. While
Governor Walker ostensibly Union man

action. Virginia has been temporarily lost
to the Union.
On the SD inst the election in the Dis.
trict Of Columbia will be held. Nightly
meetings are being held in the different
legislative districts, and the result of the
recent elections afford fame to the ardor
of the Republican speakers. So great
has been the success of the Republican
party this year that the Republicans have
no fear of the result in the election here.
The "four million loan" will be carried
overwhelmingly, and we are safe in pre-
dieting that with its judicious expenditure
in improvements the National Capital will
be made the most beautiful city in the
Union. Most of the Cabinet officers and
heads of bureaus under them are now bus
lily engaged in preparing their reports for
Congress. Some have them already con-
cluded and are in the printers hands. and
from those already submitted, one would
judge that they will be satisfactory.

The perils of whale-fishing have been
fully demonstrated in the experience OF
the Attic Fleet this season. This feet
was caught in the ice, and thirty three of
the vessels were either crushed or aban-
doned During the entire season the feet
met with great difficulty from the ice
foes, and on the thirteenth Of September
the captains of the feet hemmed in be.
tween Point 8elcher and Wainwright in
let, held meeting, aud resolved to aban-
don the vessels in order to save the lives
of the crews. This was done, and 1900
sailors took refuge on board the Remain
der, one of the feet which had been
fortunate enough to escape outside before
the ice closed in the vessels. All the
abandoned vessels, it is believed, will be
total loss, as there is little chaice of
saving even the cargoes in the spring.
The Captain of the Florida arrived at
San Francisco by the Moses Taylor. The
news created the greatest excitement at
Honolulu and in San Francisco.
Nearly 600 of the wrecked sailors were
Kanakas, and as many more are left
there. Many of them arc unprovided
for. The officers think that a naval yes.
sci should be sent to bring them away.
The whole 1900 we're brought from the
Artic sea in six whalers, in addition to
their crews and cargoes. The loss by the
destruction Of the feet is about 81 800,
900.

The NEW YORK OBSERVER enters upon its
Fiftieth Year on LIST of January next Its Ca
reer has been one of the most successful in the
history of American journalism. Every de-
partment is conducted with ability. Its for
eign correspondence is unriyalled, and its indie
pendence in commenting upon political corrup-
tons is in the highest degree praseworthy.
We notice that it appears in a ".Nel0 Dress
and also announces that the success of its Year
Book for 1871 will result in Volume No for
1872, which will still be more complete in its sta
tistical and other tables of information, and in
its general arrangement.
Such enterprise deserves success, and We adj
wise our readers to send for a specimen copy of
the paper. New Subscribers receive the paper
free until January LIST.
