Wool GRowING-The Secretary of the
Vermont State Agricultural Society,
Daniel Deedhan, in his annual report,
has the following remarks upon the i'm
portant subject Of wool growing


The price Of wool for the next few
years, reasoning from analogy, must be
high. The cotton crop Will not be plant
ed extensively at the South as it has been
in years past and if the blockade is not
raised by the first Of April next, in many
States it viii not be planted at all. Should
the rebellion not be suppressed within
another year, as very likely it may not
be, very little OF the cotton crop Of lS6l
will find its way to market for the next
eighteen months; and when we consider
that the people must be clothed that the
use Of wooden fabrics during the present
high price of cotton goods is much more
economical that the million OF men i'll
the field wear and destroy, in weight, Il
third more of clothing than in the peace
tul ayocations of life; that at the South
all the carpets have been cut u into blank
cts and that very little of the worn out
stock will be supplied until peace is res
torcd-from the fact that the South has
not even the raw material to replenish
with--the whole seeding States not pro-
ducing as much wool as the State of Ohio
alone it can be seen, that not only dur
ING the war, but at its close, when the
million of men in the army return to
their military clothing, and dress as they
were wont in broadcloth and doeskins
the price of wool must continue above
the average price for the last FIVE years
Year: 1862

In time of war, the quality of wool is a
matter of no small consequence. Yer
mont has limited herself to the produc-
ton of the finest woods. But the wool
most in demand now, and bringing the
highest prices, is a coarser grade. The
query may well be made. whether it will
not be equally profitable for US to turn
our attention to the production of some
what coarser staple and at the same time
furnish richer aAd higher priced mutton
for the market"

BUsINEss.-Within- our recollection, we
have never before seen business more
lively in the city than it has been for the
past month. The merchants and trades
men are busy from morning till night,
packing and shipping, and the streets are
literally jammed all day long with teams
discharging produce and receiving merchan-
disc to be carried abroad. The farmers
are bringing in their surplus produce,
which at present commands a very high
price. Mechanics and laborers can scarcely
be obtained for any wages offered, and upon
the whole every thing has the appearance
of lively and prosperous winter.

A SCARED REBEL Lone day this week Fed
eral soldier, recently discharged from the service
for disability, stopped q few minutes on business
at one of the Offices in town. While there q
starched Tory of severe aspect, who was stran.
ger in these parts, stepped up to the soldier and
made some insulting remarks concerning blue
uniforms and Black Aboitionists. The soldier
kept silent, and the Tory, convinced that the
subject of his abuse had but little resistance in
his composition, proceeded to touch on the usual
topics Of abolition Fanaticsm," 'Constitu-
tiona Rights of the South, and concluded by a
home thrust at the alleged frauds and forgeres
in our Regimental elections. At this point the
soldier who had been passive hearer of this IT,
rade, rose from his seat and confronted the Tory.
With eyes flashing fire, he said:


You have said enough, Sir 1t is through
such scoundrels as you that the war is still on
our hands While thousands of our soldiers are
laying down their lives in defense of Govern
ment which has protected you from your birth,
you and the rest of your villainous crew are
stopping in the North to labor in your cowarily
way for the success of the Rebellion. tell you
here, Sir, that Iowa soldiers know how to read
and to vote. Their votes for the Union against
all such Tories as yourself, are neither bought
nor compelled. When you want to look around
for frauds, vilainies, forgeries, robberies, mur-
der and Treason. hunt up your own record and
the record of your fellow scoundrels in Toryism!
There is q mark on your forehead now which
procaime you coward and rebel"


Here the soldier drew out little pocket knife
and opened it, He then continued


"Ihsve killed men thousand time better than
you are. and -"


The sentence was cut short by rapid move
ment of the Tory. That gentleman, sghast with
terror. and believing that the knife, which was
not formidable enough to abrade the nose of .
pie, was already feeling for his heart, turned
round ON bis heel, ran frantically to the door,
opened it, rushed into the street, and made the
fastest time on record from the scene Of danger,
with the skirt of bis coat extending horizontally
in rearxard direction. Our private opinion is
that this Tory win not be in hurry hereafter to
arouse the lion in Federal soldier A horror Of
blue uniforms and small knives, like water to q
rabid dog, will haunt him through the rest Of his
mortal pilgrimsge!-[Des Noines Register.

IL any truth is to be placed in the declarations
OF Northern journals, il would seem impossible
that the people Of that section csn ever Be made
70 learn the folly Of attempting to subduc the
South Among the extracts we publish this
morning from the Northern press, is one from
the Herald, the most enlightened and shrewd Of
al its cOtemporaries, and we find in it the fol
lowing most absurd declaration, as Teassn
why Burnside should st once advance and crush
the rebellion:


aWith the loss Of this (Les's) army, the suf-
fering and exhausted people Of the Tebelh0us
South, viii themselves come to the rescue They
viii recognize in the results Of the late New
York and other elections Of the Northern States,
guarsuiee Of security in the Union and they
viii adopt the seeming alternative Of submis-
sion"


Such are the declarations of a paper which we
believe las better knowledge Of Southern SEN
time7t snd character than any Northern journal
The Herald, however, is q very corrupt and IN
principled paper, and we cannot help thinking
that such declarations as those which it repeats
from time TO time. are suggested by selfish and
interested considerations. But if as enlightened
a paper IS the Herald reslly believes what it
says, then it must be confessed that it is the
most remarkable instance Of selfdelusion on
record, and can only be accounted for upon the
old maxim which tells ne that " whom the Gods
intend to destroy, they first make mad" II
seems waste Of time to argue proposition Of
such cOmplete aOsurGitY-


There is scarcely q maC, woman or child
in the ConfedsTaey whs would not Indignantly
ssurn proposition for reunion with ths North
on any terms, IS in the highest degree dish0nor-
able and ruinous. They would prefer, every
one Of them, to be driven exiles from their
hsmcs, to ses their property destroyed, their
fields desolatsd, and themselves snnihilated
rather than submit their necks to yoke 50 gall
ing as q Northern government Of any sort They
feel and know that they compromised much Of
selfrespect snd no little Of character, by con-
senting 10 8 union with such race of scOun-
drels in the first instance, and bai it not been
for the peculiar pressure of cireums tsnces which
then surrounded the colonies, such a union
would never have been formed. Il is now
broken forever. and every days experience and
observation only confirms our people in the con-
viction that the separation ought to be eternal
and complete.


There Is another portion Of the HeTatd'S ar
ticle however, which contains more sense, and
Is suggestive Of more consideration 1t tells
very plainly that the condition Of Northern
finances and credit are such that unless short
work be made Of the rebellion, the whole
scheme of subjugstien must speedily fail
Winter quarters We are told, will be fatal TO the
Yankee cause. The army Of Burnside must
advance regardless Of wind Or westher. These
confessions show very clearly that the North is
getting very tired Of the struggle, that it cannot
maintain il Inuchlonger, and that very soon the
whole Northern government and people will

MoNEY-How TO KEEP 1.-THE way
to keep money is to earn it fairly and hon.
esily. Money so obtained is pretty certain
to abide with its possessor. But money that
is inherited, or that in any way comes with.
out fair and just equivalent, is almost oar
tain to go as it came. The young man who
begins by saving few shillings, and thriff-
lily increases his store-every coin being
representative Of good, solid work, honestly
and manfully done--stands better chance
TO spend the last half of bis life in a1luence
and comfort than be who. in his haste to be.
come rich, obtains money by dashing spec
ulaiions, or the devious means which abound
in the foggy region lying between fair deal
ing and actual fraud. Among the wisest
and most thrifty men Of wealth, the current
proverb is, money goes as it comes -
Let the young make note Of this, and SEQ
that their money comes fairly, that i may
