LEES ADMIRABLE GENERALsHIP.

Lees management Of the battle against
vastly superior forces was wonderfully sue
cessful. His retreat afterwards was as
wise and necessary as 1t was admirably
conducted. 1t is only for schOol-boys that
retreat under such circumstances can be
said TO take anything from the prestige of
men like Lee. He was soon to show against
generals who, rs Mcclellan put II, acted
before they were ready" how brilliantly
he could deal with the opportunities VIC
tory gave him, rs well as with circum-
stances which. as in this instance, made
it necessary to prepare the way for re-

gathering under Pope. he had, in cOnse-
quence of the insuihciency of his force. to
remain inactive from July 18th TO August
3, 1862. These arc just the times when
every newspaper in demoCratically gov

cloth and inactivity Of a general. Nor viii

constantly and freely preferred against
the Duke OF Wellington IN the Penincula
during his most wise and necessary pauses
in that long contest, end after sone Of lns
most brilliant victories had shown the
world of what stuff he was made, and had
shown England how entirely she could
trust him. Jackson, however, was strictly
adhering 10 his own principle. Never
fight against heavy odds. II By any posi-
be manUuyring you can hurl your own
force on only part, aud that the weakest
part Of your enemy, and crush it," For
The latter purpose Il is often necessary 10
bide ones time, and 10 have patience ia

this instance the time was entirely
independent of anything that Jack

Mcclellan rendered IL inexpedient 20 rem

To the credit Of France, be it said, that

Have you had anything in the shape Of
thorough rest this year We do not mean
have You shut off work at dark, to resume
1t at daylight, or have you taken "A half day
off to leave the farm for the purpose Of at
tending to some outside business Not mt
all. We mean, have YOU turned your back
on your work for short season, and given
yourself wholly up to enjoyment and rerre-
alton If not, you have not had the luxury
of perfect rest
There is no humbug about this Look
here minute Do you know that there
are thousands Of people in our cities whose
health, from the oldest to the youngest
member of the individual family, is better
than that of the reader Of this page And
do you know that some of the finest sppci-
mems Of physical manhood to be found -
people who hardly know what it is to feel
an ache or pain-come out of neighhor
hoods in which for "A good part of the year
it seems almost impossible 10 get breath
OF fresh air: Well, they do come out of
! just such places
And for this seeming anomaly there are
the best of reasons They work through
the greater part of the year to their fullest
capacity, perhaps; but they know they
must provide for seasons of rest if they
would keep up their strength, and. recng
| nlzlng this necessity, they govern them
selves accordingly They arrange for a
| period of utter cessation of labor and
change of scene. 1t may be n short vaca
ton, and it may he a cheap journey but
they enter into the change with a zest
which gives it a relish from first to last, and
return to their desks and workshops with Il
new lease of life
1t is not every reader Of the Stockmau
who can do just this, but nearly all can in
some way secure something Of the rest
which nature demands for all busy people

The Moultou Brothers of West Randolph,
farm. were awarded "A gold medal for their
show of butter at the Paris exposition The
award is one in which the whole state will
feel pride, and it leads the Rutland Her
aid to remark as follows:
"When it is remembered that the compe-
tition of this exposition is open to the world,
the honor is seen to be significant and this
award should do much to encourage Yer
mont farmers to improve to their fullest
extent the opportunities and advantages
which the peculiarites of climate and soil
in this state offer 1t has already been
demonstrated that in stock raising and dai-
~ products lie two of the most promising
features of Nermont's industrial future I;
and when she is accorded prominence in
this field in a competition open to the world,
the hint to her people is one that is not like
ly to be allowed To pass unheeded.
Upon the same general subject we find the
following paragraph in the Watchman

James Cheeseman's interesting paper at the
Vermont Dairymen's meeting last winter.

massachusetts is watching u.

The people of western Massachusetts, evil
IDENTITY feel practical interest in our Yer
mont colonization scheme. The Northamp-
ton Gazette, in abiding to the subject when
Mr. Valentines proposition was first made,
said there was plenty of abandoned farms
in the hill towns thereabouts and in its is
sue of last week it SAYS
"Since the Gazette printed a piece about
the empty farm houses in eastern Hamp-
shire, we have received a number Of in.
quirics from men in the west who would
like to come back All united in saying
that they preferred the east to the west, and
only went for a chance To get farm cheap
If this state should establish an immigration
bureau and make an effort, it could un-
duubtedly re people many of its waste places
VIII some one tell us where else the farmer
can do better: 1t would he a good thing
for our legislature to appoint commission,
to see what can be done toward attracting
immigrants to our abandoned farms
The Greenfield Gazette thinks that other
states than Vermont will profit by our pro-
posed experiment:
"The attempt in an organized way to col
onile the Vermont hill farms with Swedish
immigrants seems like an altogether practi-
cal scheme. \ showing is made of large mum
beers of reasonably productive homesteads
that can be bought for nominal figures such
as three and five dollars per acre, and on
these it is expected to settle the sturdy and
industrious Scandinavians Upon the sue
cess or failure of the plan, whether the
people so procured prove desirable and per
manent, and whether the problem of hill
repopuation meets here its satisfactory so.

of other states than Vermont
