The organ Of JEFF. Davis in this city,
true to its instincts, has began early the
work Of opposing the Union Candidate for
the Circuit Judeeship. We know only one
way in which it could harm Mr. Williams
prospects more than il is likely to do by its
present course. We implore them not to
praise him. As for the rest, E S. VII"
lia1ns was an honored citizen, and Of high
standing in the Chicago bar, years before
the Detroit treason shrieker was forced to
change his locality. Anything the secesh
I2n'G may have to say Of Mr. Williams
will assuredly help his election, if il avoids
speakiug in his favor and behalf


But the actirityssof this rebel organ means
something, anu its significance should be
known and rcad by all loyal men. The
judicial election is to come off in less than
two weeks time, and the Copperheads de-
sire to foist creature Of their OWL into the
place yacatcd by the lamented Manierre
They aim to carry it by strict party vote
The defeat of A1r. Williams, who is brought
into the field By the handsome and unso
licilcd nomination Of his friends, as TIL
Union candidate, will be heraldcd every
where by Copperheads as triumph
for their cause. Let every: loya
man and good citizen in thl
city and judicial district make hi
arrangements thus early, and his decision
final on the point Of allowing nothing II
deprive him Of voting for h1r. Williams
He should be carried in by very hand
some majority, If the genuine loyalty Q
this district is to be represented in the re
suit. The bnrlang and yelping Of til
Copperhead sheet is indicative Of its inter
tons Let the voters come out on clectio


day and set the seal Of condemnation q
the treason -shriekers in our midst.

l. appears strange that at crisis Ike

Il would seem TO be lie part of wisdom

a good leader. he may be the man for
the times; but being almost unknown,
he has no hold upon the affections or
the confidence Of the nation, which is
a misfortune. We hope he is power
that will soon be fel.. We believe he
is OF Pennsylvania family. which may

The Vermont State Agricultural Society
have had under contemplation the establish
ment of a paper devoted exclusively to the
wool growing interest. An extensive cores
pondence has been opened by the secretary
with persons interested in wool and stock
sheep, not only in New England but through
out the entire West. There appears to be
very general desire that such a paper should
be established, and some sanguine persons
predict for il circulation Of from twenty-fv
to fifty thousand copies.


At meeting Of the Board Of Direction Of the
State Society, held at Bellows Falls on Tues
day. to consider further the matter Of Wool
Growers Paper, the following resolution was
adopted


wHKRBAs Daniel Needhsm Secretary OF this Society,


has received communications ffpm Pennsylvani


Ohio, Michigan and other Western States, as we'll as


from persons ia State, encouraging the estab


lishment Of wool growers organ, and propositions


have been made TO this Society through him BY pub


licAiion OF such an organ, IL is


ReSOfued. That in consideration OF the fact that "
hnd difficult to decide at the present time what
to pursue the whole matter be postponed to next
meeting, and that in the eantme the Secretary be re
quested TO continue his correspondence the subject ui
q paper, with the view of enabling TO reach definite
conclusion hereafter.


The society has quite fund, and is album
dantly able to establish paper but it is a
question whether it would not be better to
have it started and owned by private capital.
The excitement in stock sheep at the present
time, aud the high price OF wool, render this
a favorable opportunity to start such an en-
terprise.


The President Of the State Society. Edwin
Hammond of Middlebury, was offered twenty
thousand dollars for fifty Of bis best sheep
last week-four hundred dollars apiece for
fifty Sheppard the offer was declined. the
prices of sheep never ranged so high as at
present, and with fair prospect of its con-
tinuance.

We say that Radoay's Ready Relief is the
most elegant and powerful medicine known in
the world. This is not boasting; try it If you
feel sceptical and be convinced. 1t combines in
its composition the properties of II diffusive
stimulant, an Anti-septic, mild but effective
Astringent, and direct power over the nerves,
neither narcotic nor anodine, that relieves pain
in n manner peculiar to itself, and for which we
have no word in the English language exactly
to express its action The French call it Soul
agement. So much for its internal administra-
tion. When applied externally, it will be found
powerful counter-irrtant, instantly reddeniDg
the surface to which it is applied, and withdraw
ing the blood from some neighboring part,
where ii may be eongested or heaped up, causing
pain and leading to Inflammation. 1t fulGlls

Information from the Army OF the Potomac
states that our wounded IN the late battles who
are within our lines are all being admirably

doing he would incapacitate himself for giving

theater would have been crowded. Madame
Cordier, as usual, was extremely pleasing as
Mortha, and was encored in the "Last Rose of

lis voice showed to advantage in the solos of
the first act, less after that tenor with less
voice and more action would have been more
satisfactory. Susini and Barili were not as ef-
tective as usual. The quintet, in the third
act, the main gem of the opera, was finely rem
dered The dresses of the tenor and basso were
not well chosen, and evidently belonged to
AaSsaniello or Lucrestd, but not to Martha. The
second horn was missing IN the orchestra
which was great defect in the performance
Of the overture and quintet. The choruses
were well sung. The opera, by itself, is so
pleasing, that the audience were kept in con.
