A correspondent OF the Cleveland
Herald furnishes that paper with the
following anecdotes of Gen. Terry, the
hero Of Fort Fisher, the writer narrat-
ing incidents of which he was person
ally witness


Terry was resident of a small
town in Connecticut, where he formerly
owned foundry. One day, six or sew
en- years ago, he was preparing to cast
some large piece of machinery. After
the iron was melted and everything in
readiness to begin the operation, the
workmen, lsome twenty in number,
headed by big, stout fellow,) struck
and declared they would not pour the
metal. The moment was critical one.
No time was to be lest. Terry instant
ly grasped stout wooden cudgel which
lay near, and advancing to the leader
felled him with blow. The next one
shared his fate, and third and fourth
also bit the dust. The rest Immediately
bolted for the open air, thinking, doubt
less, that prudence counselled retreat.
By this time the leader regaining his
feet, Terry settled him again. Proceeding
to the next one, he accosted him thus
Now, will you help pour that iron? Il? If
not, down you go again The man
concluded to go to work The next two
followed his example. BY this time the
first man had again recovered d perpen-
dicular, and exclaimed - T. -T-Terry,
you've hurt me- We'll, sir, meant to
hurt you. Now will you help pour that
iron or take another blow? 'W-w-well,
L guess III PIP pour He Immediately
took his place in the ranks. Those who
had sought safety by flight returned,
and the piece was finished in good time
and shape. After it was done he took
them to hotel and ordered splendid
supper, at the same time saying he ought
to have killed every one Of them. This
illustrates the manner in which he
quelled a rebellion in a foundry.


again, during the exciting period
which preceded, and Immediately fol-
lowed the reduction of Fort Sumter, a
mass meeting was held near Terryville.
The Colonel was on hand with rousing
load he brought with his own team, a
splendid pair of greys. Soon a delega-
tion was noticed approaching the place,
headed by load bearing a large white
flag, with seven stars on it, or as they
termed it, peace banner Terry knew
that II the flag was permitted to enter
the town trouble would ensue, and then
he could not stand the sight of rebel
flag in Connecticut. Mounting horse
he galloped to the head of the column,
and thundered 'Haltr The order was
obeyed, Now said Terry, pull down
that flag or suffer the consequences
Instantly two or three muskets were
levelled at him, for every man and boy
in this peace delegation came. armed
with musket, club or other weapon.
The pointed muskets looked dangerous,
but Terry, perfectly unmoved, told them
if they dared to shoot, every man of
them should die. The ruff1ans, awed by
his tone and appearance, laid down their
arms. The flag was hauled down out of
sight, and the delegation entered the
town In silence"

Mr.. ABBoTT's LEcTURR.-Ba,toy Rpt-
land Herald Il observe in your valuable
paper of to-day, a communication frem
one auditor" relating to Mr.. Abbott's
recent lecture. Some of Auditors" re-
marks are quite wise and some are other
s0iss. For example among the former we
heartily endorse those pertaining to the
Town Han, for it was patent to every
person present that the one available
stove, though red-hot was quite insult
ficient to comfortably warm the hall,
while the gas seemed to "waver between
Two opinions" whether to be brilliant or
dim. The man who usually attends to
such business was engaged to warm and
light the Hall, but discovered late in the
evening leak in the gas pipe, so that
some of the stage burners could not be
used.


Secondly we agree with Auditor"
that all lecturers should be met at the
cars and comfortably provided for dur
ing their stay in town, but Auditors
remarks can have but little force while
he significantly omits to state the cause
of this omission in the case in question.


We would say that Mr.. Abbott was
engaged some time previous to the lee
ture and the arrangement was made
with his agent, who gave us not the
slightest intimation as to when or how
Mr., A. would arrive in Rutland, or from
what direction, and we were entirely
ignorant of his arrival at all till late in
the evening, when accidentally learning
of his whereabouts, gentleman mot a
small boy as stated by Auditory was
dispatched to find and escort Mr.. A. to
the Town Hall. If ''small boy" an
neunced to the lecturer "they want you"
as is stated, it was at attacAe of the hotel
who used that style of notifying Mr.. A.
that a gentleman desired to see him.


AS Mr.. Abbott left the hall in COM
pany with a friend and acquaintance
and during conversation of half an
hour with the undersigned on the fol-
lowing day made no mention Of tum-
bling into snow drift, it is pretty evil
dent that Auditor" drew mere upon
his imagination than on his memory for
the balance of his communication.


IF "Auditor" was aware of the diff
Guilty we experience in getting good
lecturers in Rutland, and if he is friend
to education, we think he would turn
his pen to the aid of lecture getters and
not to their embarrassment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The opinion of
the Solicitor of the War Department
published last evening, is semi officially
reproduced as applied TO the present en-
roilment and quota of 100000 men, TO
supply the deficiency under former calls.
In that opinion the Solicitor said if the
number of men were taken into consider
alton and their service, it is clear that
gross inequality would exist in the re.
spective contribution in the different
districts TO the aggregate military ser
vice ofthe country, and at each successive
call all accounts of service preceding
that call are made up, and the call for
quotas should be such as shall equalize
the amount of service required from each
district in proportion to the persons there
in liable to military service.


That district which, III tho present
draft, furnishes one year men, cuts up its
burden into three parts, and shoulders
only one part the present year, and leaves

That district which furnishes three years
men now, gains at once in its account
with the Provost Marshal, the same ben
eft on the quota of the next draft, as
though il had furnished three times as
many men for one years service.


1t is the duty of each district to fur
nish the quota. These men should be re-
ceived, whether for ], , or 3 years.

peace can be obtainedis provided for in

From an able and lengthy article in the.New


York Commercial on the above subject we sx-
tract the following: =


There exist at the present moment greater
number Of circumstances favorable to o resump-
tion of specie payments, than are likely to be
united together again for long time to come.
Money is easy and trade prosperous. Com.
merce has been carried on for some time past
mostly for cash, and consequently the mercantile
and industrial communities have few or no en-
gsgemeu,s to be ipjnriously affected by resump-
ton. Stocks OF goods of every description are
light, not only in first hands, but also in the
hands of the. jobbers and retailers, so that the
fall of gold to par at the present moment will
less injure them than in ordinary times The
crops OF the present year will soou come to
market and furnish ample means to liquidate
our importations and our other Indebtedness to
Europe, thus preventing, for some time to come,
any demand for coin for export, which is the
only demand that we can have 50 long as the
community have confdeDce in our currency -
AS soon as there are undoubted' Indications Of
an approaching resumption of specie payments,
gold will decline, and large amounts of capital
which have becA transferred to Europe since
the enactment of the Legal Tender aci, will re-
turn here, aud thus insure favorable state Of
the foreign exchanges, even before large ship
-ments of our products are made. And so every
one fears that resumption will be accompanied
by dght money market, and falling prices, the
orders for foreign commodities and products
would at. once be greatly reduced, were resump-
tion expected to take place shortly. Thus all
things combipe 20 make next January most
favorable moment for the resumption of specie
payments.

eral establishments by the order in which
they are named, he will not be far wrong
Some consumers OF beer prefer the lager
made by one concern and some another,
but judging from the lively business which
they each appear to do, all have quite as
many patrons as they can accommodate.


Several of the brewerles do a little malt.
ing, and some make more than they can
use, but the only house engaged in the
mailing business exclusively is that of But
terfeld & Co., Centre Wheeling. This firm
has quites large capital invested in the
business, and are conducting their estab-
lishment very energetically and successful
ly' They have facilities for supplying an
immense trade and have thoroughly estab-
lished themselves in the confidence of their
numerous patrons,


The brewing business has increased with.
in the past few years to an extent that sur
prises no one so much as the citizens en-
gsged in the business. Time was when
there were breweries only in the cities :;
beer breweries are now extended over all
the larger towns and all are doing a thriv.
ing business.


The art of brewing is one of great an
tiquity, and many of the more ardent mem
bers of the profession look upon it as one
of the arts and mysteries tending to ele.
vate the species and carry beatitude all
over the country-and as one to which all
future generAtiOns-like the present-Will
be indebted. They claim that some of
the best men in. the world have been brew.
ers, and that the founder of Philadelphia
was one of the first to encourage brewing
in the early settlement of that city. Malt
liquor is certainly valuable in many res
poets. 1t leaves no sting behind and is a
tonic of no mean efficacy. In England,
centuries ago, man who dared to make
bad ale was kicked ont of society.


1t is true that everywherethe brewers are
warm supporters of the government
They are paying dollar of tax to the
government upon every barrel of ale or
beer they brew; and few, if any of them,
murmur at the levy.


The capital invested in ale and beel
brewing in Pennsylvania is about ten mil
lion of dollars, with an annual consump.
ton in Philadelphia alone, both, in the
making of ale and lager beer, of about q:
600, 900 bushels of malt. 1t is very hea
