A Progressive and Growing Man.

Col. Fuller's friends consider that one
of his best qualifications for the guberna-
torial nomination lies in the fact that he
is not only man of excellent ability, but
that he is a progressive and growing man,
anxious to be well informed on all cur
rent topics, and to acquit himself credit
ably of every duty required OF him. In
every position, public or private, which
he has ever filled, he has manifested this
quality, and shown himself equal to all
the demands made upon him. That he
would prove himself thus welli equipped,
a man Of broad ideas, and capable both to
organize and to lead and direct, should
he be elected this year to fill the chair of
the Vermont governorship, is fact well
assured in advance. No man in Vermont
is more thoroughly identified with the
industrial interests of the state, or more
in sympathy with her people. No man
could do more toward the proper repre-
sentation of Vermont's resources at the
great worlds fair in Chicago, and none
would command for the state greater re-
spect and confidence both at home and
abroad. Brattleboro Phoenix.

Mr.. Noyes' gallantry consisted in his bold
ly standing on the breastworks and draw
ing bead upon large number of con-

him their loaded guns. The number of
shots by Mr.. Noyes, while thus exposed to
the enemy's fire, is estimated at between
10 and 30, and considering his age-he was
then scarcely 17-renders it one of the
most daring acts OF the rebellion.

Col. Thomas o. SeaVer Receives Med
al of Honor for Gallantry.

The adjutant-general's office has receiv-
ed information that medal of honor has
been awarded. Col. Thomas O. Seaver, Sd
Vermont volunteers, for distinguishei
gallantry in action near Spottsylvania
Court House, Virginia, May 10, 1864.
No soldier from Vermont deserves this
distinguished honor more than Col. Sea-
yer, and he will be congratulated by all
his friends on this acknowledgment of
his gallantry. In the many battles of the
old Vermont brigade, Thomas o. Seaver
bore prominent part, aud in the official
reports of the Union and Confederate ar
mics, issued by the war department, he is
often and favorably noticed. 1t would be
hard to mention any battle in which he
was a participant, where he did not per-
form some personal act of bravery. The
action Of the 10th of May, 1864, for which
he received this medal was one OF the most
severe in which the LIST Vermont brigade
was ever engaged. This is most graphical
ly described in volume ! OF Vermont in
the Civil War.
A storming party, consisting of IL pick
ed regiments, three of which were taken
from the first Vermont brigade, the Sec
ond regiment commanded by Lieut.. Col.
Hale, all under the command of Thomas
o. Seaver OF the third regiment.
1t is said that although the Vermonters
were in the third line at the start, when
the troops arrived at the enemy's breast
works, they had rushed up to the front or
first line. Col. Seaver in this action was
everywhere and urging his men to deeds
of valor and heroism.
