The Bloody Shirt.

A Washington dispatch to the Boston
Herald says Some days ago General
Sheridan went down into Louisiana to in
vesiigate the cases of the two colored post
masters who complained that they could
not stay there because the citizens had
threatened them. Sheridan reported
against the colored men. Pitkin had Just
been in conference with General Ben But
Ter. He brought up to Butler the identical
miniature coffin that was sent as reminder
to the colored postmaster at Bayan Lara.
1t is covered with sealing wax, to represent
blood, and flied with bullets. 1t was &C
companied with note, stating that the
postma Ter would have Till Juae to clear

Brains Will Rule.

they are sure to rule, and no force can pre-

may want TO aid the cause. The people
will not sustain US in it. The republican

The Indian Famine.

The government Of India is spending enor-
nous sums to relieve the restitution, but the
insuperable difficulty in the way of complete
relief is the want Of means of transportation
in the afflicted districts. To feed two and
one-half millions of people, as the govern
ment is now doing in Madras and Mysore
alone, requires not only vast amount OF
grain, but large means of transportation
The population living near the railroads and
great thoroughfares can be supplied without
great difficulty, but there are many thickly
populated places remote from highways and
not easily accessible. With every effort
possible the destitution in such districts can
only be imperfectly relieved When the
people were under their native rulers famine
visited them at intervals, as 1t does now,
but then there was no systematic attempt to
alleviate its horrors. Those who could get
food for themselves lived those who could
not died by millions, until the population of
large districts was reduced by one.fourth or
even one-third. The British rule in India
is more humane as well as more powerful
than that which preceded it. The surplus
crops of more favored countries are at its
command, and it has taken reasonably
prompt and effective measures to bring them
within the reach of the starving people of
the Madras presidency but TO feed twenty
five million people, a population equal to
that of Great Britain, is beyond its power.
1t will save some millions who would have
persisted without its help, but other millions
apparently are beyond the reach of succor

The Battle Of Antietam.


The War Department has recently called
upon all living officers who were known to
have anticipated in particular battles Of the
late war, but whose reports of them are not
on file, to forward such reports without
delay. And one of the most important
fruits Of this sensible order-an order even
more in the interest of the historian of the
future than of the War Departments a
report from General Hooker on the bloody
battle Of Antietam. We find that it has
three special points of interest-frst, its es-
Inmates of success which attended our arms
at Antietam second, its criticism of Gen
eral Mcclellan, and third, its comments
upon General Burnside's delay in attacking
the enemy. As to the first point, it is evil
dent that General Hooker does not agree
with the common report of the battle, which
characterizes it as substantial triumph for
the Union forces. He reminds himself, at
the conclusion of the report, that =" This
battle has been called victory for our
arms" only to add, but whether rightly
or not, the country, after reading my re-
port, will be able to form an enlightened
judgment on the subject, and If they should
not confirm the judgment of some of our
authors, will understand the reason Of
failure" He finds the reason of failure
in the neglect to make battle with the en-
tire force that was available at Antietam, at
one and the same time. He complains that
the attack was made feebly aud by corps"
and that eat least one corps was nowhere
engaged" OF course, this criticism is a
sharp reflection upon General Mcclellan,
and it will be interesting to see what an
swer, if any, he will make to it. 1t will also
be interesting to learn if General Burnside
was acting under McClellan's orders in his
choice of place for crossing the Antietam
river. For Hooker pronounces the point
selected the worst one that could possibly
have been chosen, and because it was diff
fcult and insurmountable is able to un-
derstand why Burnside did not commence
his movement until ten o'clock in the even
ing of the day following his own attack. 1t
will be seen from this that General Burn.
side as well as Mcclellan may have good ex-
cuse for speedily appearing in print.

The Floating University.

For students who can afford the expenses,
and for gentlemen of leisure, the proposed
scientific expedition around the world offers
many advantages. Leaving New York the
first of next month on staunch steamship,
it proposes to occupy two years in circum-
navigating the globe, studying physical geog-
raphy, natural and national history, geol-
ogy, architecture, and, in short, picking up
all sorts of useful knowledge both by land
and sea. The general route will be from
New York around Cape Horn to Australia,
then to China, Japan, India and Arabia;
through the Suez canal to the Nile region,
thence through the Mediterranean sea 10
Italy, France, Spain, and up the Atlantic
coast to England and then home. There
will be numerous stops on the journey, one
at every available port along the direct line,
and time will be allowed for observations &C.
cordng to the interest of the place. A year
will be occupied in reaching China, and Cal
cutta is put down for February 1879. The
places on the direct line and few others,
as the Nile and Jerusalem, are to be visited
at the expense of the management, but
many of the most interesting points are put
under the head of " contiguous places which
may be visited at the expense of the excur-
sionists.' Among these are Buenos Ayres,
Pekin, and the Great Chinese wall, Porcelain
tower and the tombs of the Ming dynasty,
Babylon and Nineveh Plains of Marathon,
Pompeii, Vesuvius, Rome, Florence, and
other European cities, the British Isles, etc.
This is an important point for students to
take into consideration, in order to avoid
running short of funds at distance from
home. Naturally person going on such an
expedition will desire to improve every OPP
portunity for seeing as much as possible,
knowing that he will probably never have
another such chance. The regular charges
for the whole two years are only two thou
sand and five hundred dollars for each pas
senger. But to visit the points of interest
which are not included in this charge will
require half as much more, taking into &C.
count travelling fares, hotel bills, and the
inevitable purchase of photographs and SOU
venirs. Considering the character and length
of the excursion, this is not an extravagant
cost, and to the student who improves his
opportunities it will be money well expended,
giving him more complete education than
course of four years at the average Amer
lean college

The Bethel Fair.

The fair Of the White River Valley Agricultural
Society was held on the grounds Of the associa-
ton on Tuesday and Wednesday Of last week.
The weather was the finest imaginable, the en-
tries in all classes numerous and excellent, and
the attendance large and orderly The exhi-
bition and all ts accessories was complete sue
cess and reflects much credit upon the officers
OF the society.
During the year past the association has been
at considerable expense in fitting upthe grounds
in manner worthy Of their object, and they have
succeeded admirably.
Tuesday was mainly occupied In completing ell
tries and attending to the thousand-and-one things
which go to make up a successful and profitable
meeting.

what 1t lacked In quantity some of the finest
sheep and most desirable cattle we have ever

The absence Of Mr.. Moulton's fine horses was
noticeable; one always likes TO see and admire
them. We understood that they had gone to st.
Adams to attend the state fair. The number OF
entries in this class was quite meagre but in
cluded some good animals
But the exhibition of farm products, and ar
ticles manufactured by the deft fingers of the
ladies, was superb. We only regret that we have
not space to particularze more fully.

NIfa
gladly avail ourselves of the brief one from the
Herald and Ne,os: Senator Edmunds took for
his subject the Labor Question and, for a sub
ject that has been so thoroughly handled of late
gave very interesting talk He began by stat
ing the proposition that the right Of personal lib
erty is the substratum upon which society in Am
erica is founded, and that 1t is the duty of gov
eminent to protect this liberty lie claimed for
the laborer the right to dispose of his labor at his
own price, and as well the right of the employer
to say how much he will pay. He spoke of the
union Of labor and capital and truthfuly declared
capital to be only accumulated labor After a
few remarks upon the nature Of communism, the
Senator spoke of the causes that have led TO the
want and suffering now in the country; first of
| which he named the over production which the
war stimulated. He then spoke hopefully Of the
future, and mentioned prudence and more strict
economy as the means that must aft ect the change
| in affairs Mr.. Edmunds is pleasant, easy
speaker, and his illustrations were pointed and
forcible. He held the attention of the crowd,
which seemed well satisfied with this part of
| the fair"
| All in ALL we regard this as one of the most en-
joyable and profitable fairs have ever attended,
and we feel like congatulating the parties inter
ested that such was the fact

Security for Savings.

After the recent sad experiences of the
country in relation to life insurance com
panies aud savings banks, the practical ques-
ton arises, where can surplus funds Of small
amounts be invested in perfect security
Government bonds are not issued in denom-
nations less than fifty dollars. Municipal
bonds are not more available to the poor
yet both of these might be made medium
Of investment for current savings. In
England the government provides place Of
Investment for small earnings. Aperson can
deposit at any post-office sum not exceed
ing twenty-five pounds, and bearing interest
at low rate. Such an institution would be
decidedly beneficial here. In certain sense
every post-ofhce would become savings
bank, and it would be very convenient for
the laborer in going there to deposit his
dollar, whereas to take that dollar to the
savings bank in neighboring town, with
the consequent expense, would hardly pay.
The postofIice is designed to be central in
every town, and is of convenient access, and
small sums would be oftentimes deposited
there which would otherwise be spent I'M
wisely or crimnally foolishly. Such a place
of deposit would answer the conditions of
security and accessibility better than any
existing institution. As, however, the gov
ernment has provided no such means of
saving the small earnings for the poorer
classes, they will have to look to the banks
for the present. 1t is true that the failure
of few has cast feeling of uncertainty
upon them all, yet it is feeling that should
not be harbored, for to the thoughtful and
candid person it is unjust. Let the people
put their money in the savings institutions
and the chances are legion to one that it
will be received again with interest.
