William PiT kciioggA Pen Pic-
surc,

The following is a sketch of William
Pitt Kellogg of Louisiana, from the pen
of New Crieanf correspondent. Gov
ernor Kellogg is son of Rev. sherman
kellogg, for many years pestor of the Con-
gregational church in Orwell, also in Mont
pcner. He is Il native of Montpelier.
Perhaps the parents of VIM. Pitt KEEL
logg thought 10y his name to foreshadow
his future greatness, but to the eye of the
stranger there is not much of that quality
disccrinblc in him.
Slcnderly built, thin blooded, mild man
nered. rather hesitating in his speech and
nervous in his movements, with smallish
head, sloplny forehead, thin lips and color
less complcyon-that is about the general
appearance Of the man whom fate has
made such . conspicuous figure in such
stormy scenes. lie is person OF gentle
manly appearance and pleasant manners,
but looks more like the teacher of a girls
school, or the pastor of village church,
than like a statesman or natural leader of
men. In fact, he is neither do no. say
that he is bad man, for ! do not know
that he is, and nothing in his appearance
would justify such a suspicion; but he is
certainly not great man. is utterly lack
ing in personal magnetism, IN the qualities
of leadership, in anything like aggressive
ness either for good or evil. In his position
man of true ability and true greatness of
character. showing personal characteristics
and Saco6' .fHre, could have worked out
needed reforms IN this state, could have
placed the republican party on higher and
frmer basis, and could have done much to-
ward allaying the bitter prejudces OF the
whites and laying the foundation for new
order of things.
He is not the man to do anything of the
| sort, and therefore it is unfortunate tor the
state, for the republican party and for the
public at large, that events should placed
him where he is. But, | repeat. he has
not the appearance of bad man. am
told that he is man of very correct morals
and nnexceptionable private life. as his
appearance would indicate. Kellogg's
strength as a politician lies in his cunning,
his talent for trading, and his steady devo-
ton to his own interests. Circumstances
having placed him temporarily at the head
of the republican party in this state, he is
recognized and supported as such by the
republicans of this city, among whom are
some able and heightened gentlemen. But
personally kellogg is neither greatly re-
spected nor greatly beloved, and promi-
nent republicans would gladly follow a
| better leader.

But while the committee are busy at the
different pieces of "patch-work" that have
been offered to be incorporated into our
school system, there is yet in embyro bill
to repeal the law providing for board of
education. There is no Disgusting the fact

1t is admitted that our schools require some

the place whose labor seems to have been
chiefly the advancement of his own private
interests, is not SO readily admitted by
many of our best educators. The board
education, including the secretary's salary,
and institute expenses, costs the state of
Vermont about $4,000 annually. Add to
that the nearly $4,000 paid to town super

for our money than through the present I'M

The salary Of the presen, secretary Of the
board is only 81 200 per aunum but the
matter of his expenses, and the amounts

teachers institutes, it is said, is not without

secretary is receiving royalty on the new
arithmetcs that have been recommended
by the board, and are being introduced in
the schools of the state, does not add TO the

The Will River valley.

II was stated at the time of tho Mill
river food, and has been since mentioned,
that Hayden, Gere & Co. had in their vaults
four boxes OF silver plate belonging to the
heirs of the late Joel Hayden, valuable in
itself but chiefly as keepsakes and heir
looms, These were among the toys of the
torrent, and were swept far down the
stream, the boxes burst open and the prec-
ious contents scattered along the valley
AS yet only very small amount of the sill
yer has been returned, and it is positively
known that much of it has been picked up
and kept as 'relics" by curious visitors to
the valley. We are authorized to say that
if those who have anything of this kind
will send it to Hayden, Gere e. Co., at
Haydenvllle the firm will pay all expenses,
and be very much Obliged to them besides.
The road leading from williamsburg
Center to the broken reservoir has just
been completed, and was accepted on Sat
urday by the commissioners, and opened tc
the public. The opening of this road af
fords fine opportunity to those who have
never seen this valley of desolalion, t.

Portland and the Grand trunk
ksOnG.

The question whether the city of Port
land shall aid the Grand Trunk railroad in
supplying terminal facilities in that town
promises to be a pretty important one soon.
Portland people have hitherto been dis
posed to find fault with the management
of the road, and with pretty good reason,
but il now seems TO have taken new start
and is making high bid for the goodwill
of the Forest city. The corporation has

THE BATTLE OF CEDAR CREEK

The eye takes in at glance the general
idea and effect OF painting however large
and is able soon to become acquainted
with its details, but description Of its
meaning in written language is very diff
cult, while an Ineligible account of its
minor particulars is almost impossible. We
venture, however, to attempt to explain
the leading points in Julian SCOTS new
picture, hoping to be able to present the
more prominent features and general in
tention in such manner as to somewhat as
sist the observer, and to convey some idea
of its subject to those who are unable to

camps in the early morning. had rcOrgan-

more took place, which was severe and
holly contested. The country is striped
by series of stone walls, behind which
successfully the rebels took their stand
pouring deadly fire upon their assailants
being again and again crowded from poin
to point, in different parts of the field a
different times, until some two miles o.
territory had been gradually fought over
and the rebels now stood in the opei
ground near the entertainments captured
by them at daybreak, facing to the north
with abundant artillery, there making thei
last stand to cover the passage of the roar
ing stream far behind them, far below.
The lines of the Union army ha
meanwhile become very much disorganize

picture represents. The general directio
