The Governors staff.

The general order Of the Governor and Com
mander-n-Chief Of the state which we publish
elsewhere, announces the composition Of ha per-
sonal staff Governor Fairbanks has, we think,
in the appointment Of his aids made unusually
good selections Two Of the appointeos Captains
Sheldon and Estey, are esteemed members Of
the legislature and arc not noviccs In military
service, the former having an euyiable record as
an officer Of the Tenth Vermont and the latter
as one Of the best aud most panstaking militia
officers in the state. Colonel Hubbe Is Of rovo-
luionary stock his grandfather having been
participant In the Battle Of Bennington while
Colonel Hastings Of 81. Johnsbury Is an excellent
representative Of the sober and patriotic civilians
Of Vermont, who prefer the quiet pursuits Of
peace TO the mimicry Of war lie is n popular
young citizen Of It Johnsbury who holds the
responsible position Of TREASURER Of the Portland
and Ogdeusburg Railroad II is 10 be hoped that
the duties Of these staff officers may like their
more immediate predecessors be Of the ornamen-
tai character, but should the turn u events un-
happily bring about national troubles, We con-
fdenty predict that they will not be found lack
ing In either energy, discretion or bravery
