The Messenger, in speakingof Col

was an officer of the Sd Vermont,
and a member Of the court martial
which tried him, and was therefore
in u situation To know the facts
With the most graceful delicacy he
brushed away the web of fancy
woven by the poet Janyier around
the incident, and while he would not
say that President Lincoln did not
drive in hot haste to the scene of
execution. he said that he, though
present, did not see anything OF
the kind, and on the contrary told
how the whole plan of the appar'
emily impending execution but Sc
cretly designed pardon was made
and executed by 'NermOnt's great
est soldier Gen. Wm. L. Daddy
Smith. The paper was admirably
prepared, and was listened to with
the most rapt attention.

In the case of the village OF West
Concord in Essex county, there is Il
good illustration OF what a railroad
will do toward building up a town.
The immense forests north and east
of the village are being dotted with
mills, each supplied with an efficient
force Of lumberman aud transfers.
There are sixteen Of these mills
pouring their business into the vii
lage. the largest turning out two
million feet a year, and the whole
giving employment to about two
hundred men and a large number
of horses and oxen. The market
created by this immense business is
OF incalculable benefit to the pro
ducers of the region.
