N'pxt morning all the ministers informed 'f'pir respective congregations that they should omit their usual afternoon service and attend the Friends meeting, recommend ng them do so likewise. The old meeting k'juse was accordingly filled to repletion at the appointed hour, and a solemn silenco settled on the assembled multitude. t length Nathaniel Greene arose . stand ing silently for a moment, his eyes passed luwiy round the gathering, taking in each individual countenance in his Burvey ; then, raising his voice, tremulous with emotion, h" told them he had delivered his message to his own brethren in the morning, and now 'us concern wa for all, especially for tho ning generation of every name ; ho felt that the time of his departure must soon me, perhaps ho might never see their faces m )re, und the present might bo his lastlega v '.flove.

Ilt OVOlling Hlmit Mven o clock, a mob of some tliirty men entered tlie printing office of William o. jimiey, Newport, lvonttickv, and pied a oonsiderable qunnity of type, broke one of tlie press s, and carried off tho "forms" on which the outside of the paper was leing printed. There were no persons in the office nt tlie time of this visitation except Mr Jsailey and his family. His four daughters, who set type, and Mrs. Bailey, were present. mi neggMi witnoui avail that tlieir proper ty inigtit oe spared, iiie press would pro lwdlv have been entirelv destjov'ed, but th' se who undertook the job found it dirty work, the ink soiling their hands and clothes. Mr. Boilev was warned tha' he must leave town, and qoit attempting to publish a paper mere, or that He would tie roughly ham and all his property demolished. When the mob appeared thev informed Mr. Bailey that thev proposed to n'mlisli his incendiary chect. 1 hev considered Hie com munity unsafe where such a paper whs tol- eiated, mid m forth. Mr. Bailey's pajwr does not rank very high among the journals of the dav. but he and Lis family have long spoilt urn"! it Uelr daily lahor, and earned with it their daily bread. The ier has leen, we lielieve, a lauiily production, Mr Bailey writing the urticles, his daughters petting the tyie, and his sons making up the lorins ami working th" press. His daugh ters who have made a humble livelihood in this way, were not, we are informed, exempt from such insult., last night, as foul lan guage uddn..-d to them could convey. This wa. p-ThapK. the most gro? and cowardly pirtoftlp' pitiful transaction. We really do not think t':e jieace and prosjiertv of the city of Newport or the State of Kentucky would lie etujierilled by the continuance of the publication ot -lr. ts.iiley t paper. It might !) much better for the town if it wcr.' understood that all opinions and their free expression were tol. -rated there. It is not likely that a single one of the mob owns a slave, though our informant declares the men engaged to haw been "respectable in appearance. A suggestion heing made as to the police, it was remarked by one of Mr. i5ailey"t dnuhters that most o' the police ' i wwii i, . u ii mev oiu not n witiveiv aid in thi detruetio:i of property, thev cer tainly did uot attempt to do Uieir out" hut were jiassive spectators of the lawless scene. It is n question whether Mr. Bailey can find injwri ioii umier me iaw, ami me thing mot likely to happen is the continued up- iirwiou ior some iimv? oi ins pap.!r oy moo oree. The ieople and authoritiet. ..f New port have a grave question to consider. It ts whether there is to 1m freedom of stiwvh and of the prs in their midst ; whether an industrious family, who offend against no municipal regulation, nor law of the com monwealth of Kentucky, shall lie protected in their property ; or whether there is to Ik intolerance ou the subject of slavery, backed by mob violence. Mr. Hailey may not be a man personally calculated to excite a very great amount of admiration, but he stands up for a principle, and hLs rights should he re spected. It is certain tint, such proceedings as those last night will inflict far greater in jury upon the town than upon Mr. Bailey. Bbovt.v's Speech. The clerk haying asked the prisoner whether he had any thing to say why sentence should not be pronounced, Mr. Ilrown immediately rose, tutd in & clear, dis- inct voice, aaid : " I have, may it please the court, a few words to sav. In the first place, I deny every thing but what 1 have all along admitted, of a design on mv part to free slaves. I intend ed certainly to have made a clean thing ot that matter, as 1 did last winter, when I went into Missouri and there took slaves without the Knapping of a gun on either side, moving them through the country and finally leaving tnem i'i Canada. 1 designed to have done the same thing on a larger scale. That was all I intended. I never did intend murder or treason, or the destruction of property, or to excite or incite slaves to rebellion or to make insurrection. " I have another objection, and that is. that it is unjust tdat 1 should suffer such a penalty. Had 1 interfered in tlie manner which I admit 1ms been fairly proved, (for I admire the truthfulness ami candor of tlie greater portion of the witnesses who lmve tes tified in thi case) hail I so interfered in be half of the rich, th powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great or in behalf ot any of their friends, either rather, mother, brother, sist t, wife or cnildreu, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference, it would have been all right; every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than of punishment. Thiscourtacknowledget; too, as 1 suppose, tiic validity of the law of God. I see n book kissed which I suppose to be the Bible, or lesst the New Testament, which teaches mo that 'all things whatsoever I would that men should do to me T should do even no to tliem.' It teaches me further to ' remem ber them that are in bonds as Iwund with them. I cnd-iv -red to act up to that in struction. I say I am yet too young to un derstand that God is any respecter of persons. I believe that to have interfered as I have done, as I have always freely admitted I havo done, in behalf of His despised poor, I do no wrong, but right. Now if it is deemed ne cessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my chil dren, and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel and unjust enactments. I say, let it be done. Let me say ono word further. I feel perfectly satisfied with the treatment I have received during my trial. Considering all the circumstances, it has been more generous than I expected, but I feel no consciousness of guilt. I have stated from the first what were my intentions and what were not. I never had any design against the liberty of any jierson, nor any disposition to commit treason or excite slaves to rebel or to make any general insurrection. I never encour aged any man to do so, but always discour aged any idea of that kind. Let me say, also, n regard to the statements made by some of those who were connected with me. I hear it has been stated by some of them, that I have induced them to join mc, but the contrary is true. I do not say this to injure them, but as regretting their weakness. Not one but joined mc of his own accord, and the great er part at their own expense. A numlor of them 1 never saw and never had a word of of convtrsation with till the day they cumo to me, and that was for the purpose 1 have stated. Now 1 have done." There was :i terribleslaughtcr on one of the cattle trains from Albany last week, lwtween Chester and Spring field. Some of them got out of an end-door and were pitched off the train; ono got caught by the horns between tlw cars and was held up while his legs were smashed to pieces under the wheels; one fell off the train, and when found his two hind legs were missing, and a few miles farther on another shared a similar fate.

Yesterday morning, a tremendous excitement was create ! in the lower part of Williamshurgh, caused by the Elephant belonging to Van Amburgli's me nagerio becoming enraged and breaking loose from his keeper. A man had been employed to bring some shavings to tho menagerie, which Avcro brought in a wagon. The man drove into tho tent, and while unloading his wagonj the elephant was observed to grow lestless at the sight of the horse which had a white blanket on. The man was advised to take his horse away, but before lie could do so, tho elephant advanced a few steps and knocked the man down with a blow of his trunk, next seized tho horse by means of his trunk and injured him seriously. He next seized the wagon, throwing it up in the air ar.-i hrealcing it to pieces. His anrrer was fully aroused then, and proceeding to the cage of the prairie wolf smashed it with his trunk, releasing him. Next in hismad way was the cage of a black bear. This catrc was demolished but tho bear was chained up and e mid not escape. Tho cage of the zebra being next in his way, ho pushed it through the tent anil ele.ar through the wall of a small shanty at tho back of the tent. Then i ii . ... .. leaving tne tent no got into the street, pur sued hv hi- keeper and hundreds of people none of whom were nblo to cope with the en raged elephant. He did not molest passers bv, hut seemed to have a great aversion to horses, which he would pursue as rapidly as he was able, being hoppled with a chain connecting his tusks with ono of his fore legs. Ho was finally driven by tho crowd into the stone yard, corner of South Fourth and Seventh streets. Here a number of workmen were engnged in dressing stone, and had just placed upon wooden horses a huge stone weighing about fifteen hundred tons. in attempting to get out of the stone yard, the elephant got caught by his chain to this stone which checked him. The keepers gradually approached him with ' chains to fasten his legs, but it was not till ho had re ceived several severe blows with spears that his attention could b- diverted so as to ren der it possible to further secure him. Fi nally, he was thrown down upon his side, where he lav for some time bellowing and thrashing about him with his trunk. Ap plication was made to Hook and Ladder Companies Nos. 1 and 3, who furnished tho keepers with large hooks. One of these was run through ono of his ears and twisted round until the poor animal could not move his head Irom pain of the wound. hen he was perfectly subdued, he was heavily bound with chains, and taken back to the menagerie. He ii almost covered with wounds received from the hooks and spears, and it i- not deemed safe to xhihit him for a few days, nor would it lie safe for his keep er to approach within sight of him. It is a very fortunate circumstance that no person was killed by the elephant, or trampled to death in the confusion of o?cnpe; as it is, the poor ammai is the grdntest sufferer. This is the largest elephant that has been exhibited in this part of the ountry, and is the same that a tew years since caused such havoc by escaping from his cage at Harlom. These fits of anger, it is said, occur annually, and tne Keepers have some time been expecting some such dem nstration, and kept a more careful wotch over him. Gboegk 1aw.

That immense think ing Oram Keeps accumulating. 1 don t think: he goes into large operations now for the purpose of making money. I think he works to keep from stagnating.

No such thing; he is only fifty one years old, and possesses one of those vig orous constitutions that will last him forty- nine years longer. From tho Altit Californian, Sept. 21. A Sdccbstive Placard. Yesterday, Sen ator Owin and Charles L. Scott left on tho steamer John L. Stephens fur the Atlantic States.

From tho Daily of Nov. 7.J NEW YORK STATE EJECTION. One who did not know that the New York State Election was near at hand (to-morrow), might bo astonished at the unprecedented dis play of abuse which the democratic journals aro heaping upon eminent republican states men, and the republicans generally, in these days. For " bold and solid lying," for shameless slander, not only without any found ation whatever, but right in the faco of facts as patent as the sun in a clear day, we think they have excelhd themselves, this timo. The manifesto of the Fifth Avonoodlo Committee was relied on for a few days, as the groat agency for moving the waters throughout tii- tri'jlodvti realm generally; but for .-ir tli.it it would not do the work effectually for foar the people of the State, who havo known Senator Seward for so many years, should not be touched with that appeal, the Washington Conslilu tution conies to its help. Boinbastes Furioso could not hold a candle to Mr. Buchanan's official hlow-pipa. Ju3t hear it ; keeping in mind that Mr. Seward w now in Egypt, and that all tho pretended ground for such an assault on him is tho declaration of Forbes, a foreign adventurer, who rays he bogged sorno money last year from .Mr. Seward to help his family, nnd talked with him about something he does not say what which Mr. Seward disapproved of altogether '. "He Seward sees in the u3ar prospective tho curtain rise ; he beholds all the acts of tho dreadful drama ; lie sees the conspirators rushing upon their victims ; ho witnesses the insurgent African banner superseding the flag "f'his country ; he stands among the fragments of tho constitution which he had sworn to support ; he beholds the insurgent negro c ihurts ruhing as in San Domingo, upon their prey, he hears the shrieks of the victims ; he sees the fathers, sons and broth ers of Virginia and Maryland butchered without arms or warning, in the midnight hour ; he hears the cry of agony from those of tho gentler sex do jmed to a still more dreadful fate ; the bunds of tho assassin aro dripping in hum .n gore; ft jieaceful village, where all, in niHu-pecting confidence, retired at night to their repose, is given tj the flames, and all its male inhabitants arc consumed amid its ashes. It is no imaginary dagger that he sees before him ; it is no 'phantom of the heat oppressed brain ;' it is no reverie or dream of slumber ; but a dread reality, but too distinctly portrayed lief re him, and he is silent and conceals the fact. He min gles every day with many ot the intended victims: ne "sees their doom approaching, and he raises no voice of warning, and no hand for succor !" Secretary Floyd had a distinct forewarning of Brown's attempt, but "raised no voice of warning and no hand for succor." Tho Con stitution would do better to direct its rhodo- inontaoe to the Secretary of War. But the real reliance of the Democracy for success in New York tomorrow is not on the influence of such troth and fume, but on the false voting in New York city. We look to see at least 15,000 fraudulent votes cast there for the Democratic ticket. Frederic DoroLAes has written a letter to the Rochester papers, dated Cannda West, in which he denies having encouraged the Harp er's Ferry affair, and says he is not a fighting man, and is better at running away than fighting. He says he never promised to bring or send any aid to Brown, as has been stated. In concluding he says : " The time for a full statement of what I know, and of all I know, of this desperate but sublimely disinterested eflort to emanci pate tho slave of Maryland Virginia from their cruel task-masters has not yet come, ami may never come. In thedeninl which 1 have now made, my motive is nioro a respectful consideration for the opinions of the slaves" friends, than from my fear of being made an accomplice in tho general conspiracy against Slavery. I am ever ready to write speak, pub lish, organize, combine and even to conspire against Slavery, when there is a reasonable hope for success. 1 have no apology for keeping out of the way of those gentlemanly United States Mar shals, who are said to have paid Rochester a somewhat protracted visit lately, with a view to an interview with me. A Government recognizing the validity of tho Dred Scott decision, at such a time as this is not likely to have any very charitable feeling toward uie, and If I am to meet its representatives, I preler to do so, at least upon equal terms. If I have committed any offence against society, I have done so on tho soil of the State of New York, nnd I should bo perfectly willing there to lie an.iigne i beinreuti impartial jury ; but I liav. quite insujientble objections to be caught by the hands ot Mr. Buchanan, and i ujg -d ' by Gov. Wise. For this appc.im to he ih arrangement Buchanan does the fighting ainl hunting, and Wise Iwgs ' the game. S ane redactions may 'ho made upon my h-4'tiug (i i iti a t ur to England, just at this tiui".

Wo are always rejoiced to sec additions to the means -of instruction in any department of that excellent Institution, tho University of Vermont. Just now wo have had a spe cial pleasure of that sort from a brief look at some accessions to a Department, which, for years, occupied u good share of our own labors in tho University we mean the de partment of Natural Science. Through the efforts of Prop. Lminard Marsh, and the generosity of triends, there lias been recently acquired for the Institution, a sujierb copy, in 20 volumes Royal 8vo. of the great illus trated etliiinti of Cuviers Animal Kingdom the notes and illustrations lieing made by a corps of his most eminent pupils and suc cerHors, in Fiance. No other work ever published can take the place of it, and to a very great extent no future discoveries can do away with its value. In the hand6 of so philosopbn '1 an indefatigable a student and teacher -s Prof. Mamb, toe work will ! turned to most excellent account. But tins is not all. A large and baaiitiful Collection of s tiffed American Birds .iu by Prof. Baird of tho Smithsonian Institute, to be un surpassed, for real excellence by more than three or four collections in the United Smtes has been received irom N. Y. City, and is now in the University Museum. There arc above 2 A) distinct species in tho collections and of many species there are pairs all we believe, American birds some from the eold regions of the North, others from the temperate parts and others from the warm re gions of the tropics all prepared in the most perfect maneer, and in an admirable state of preservation. Tho collection is at present in the cases as it was transported, and not ar ranged for exhibition to the public, but will bo soou. In regard to the new lire proof building to contain tho Library, Museum of Natur al History and apparatus the erecti hi of which was intended this fall, we learn that from unavoidable delays in settling upon the right plan of construction, the season became too far advanced to justify the beginning of the -work beforo next Spring. A CLIiAIl CASK OF NECESSITY. Tho hue and cry in theDemacr.ttic papers, over the John Brown foray, is easily and fully explained by u glance tit the political horizon.

Here are 152 of the liOl votes oast in the electoral college; enough to olect tho president, without: calling upon Illinois, which Douglas carried only bv nn apportionment that enabled a demo cratic minority to choose a innjority of the Legislature, and which he cannot carry again ; or Indiana, which is bound soon to wheel fully into tho Republican ranks; or Oregon, which lneked but" votes of a Repub lican majority at its last election; or Kansas, which !m yet to come in. with thre.f more elector i! .'t . In if! sn i'-ii:i- ,-tite of thiugs, firs Harp r' F.r. .rl'ur. ;ri piringjuat before tho N ivemb -r I etions, is a perfpet godsend to the Democracy.

Accordingly they bowl and throw dust into the air, and with tedious it eration charge the outbreak to the Republi can party, as a whole, and to each of its lead, ers individually. The trouble with this precious scheme, is that it is overdone. The clamor may possibly nifret in some small de gree the elections in New York and New Jersey, next week ; but eventually it will tell against its authois. The lying accusa tions which charge the great party of the North with murder and treason, will but con solidate the rauks of the sterling ami true Republicans, nnd will inevitably create a Ju nction in the minds of those who for the iuo meat may be affected by them. In the end the Democracy will find itself "hoist with its own petard." mOM DIONTl'ET.lEK. Wednesday, Nor. 2, 18M. Editors Fret Prut; The gr. at work of the Legis lature is just cow done by the committees. The Committee on Banks, Roads, General Committee, Town lines, Judiciary. Udneation, and some Se leet Committees are incessantly at work. Bouse w. rks industriously while m session, and ad jonras at Uw M practicable moment, for the purpose of firing the Committees time. The Road Committee had a hearing last night on the sub ject of connection between the Rutland & h. and the Vt. .1 Canada Railroads. There was some ef fort to cat abort the hearing, before some citisens of Burlington were fully heard; but the Committee granted farther time to bear the case. The de feat of Colby's bill was most thorough yesterday. The back bone of the opposition is broken, and eur School system will be tried another year. This morning the committee on Ways and Means introduced two reports with bills accompa nying. One is to pay Superintendent Powers $2300 per year for his services amounting to $5325 in the whoi -. Another appro priates 334.600, for debts and oat stand ing claims to complete and farther fiar i, i h the State Houce. I understand this to be over a I hove all that has been paid by the State and 1 tlie citizens of Montpelier. The $3i,i'!0 is n-.'ill.v to cover the ground covered by the 18,000 a i . ii in the bupenntenueat s report.

It is nndertood that the committee were t to in favor of this bill Mr. Wright, of '"".n-tleton, taking a leading part in tarorot it, and Air. Ham mond, of Middlehury, being the only member of the committee against it. It was debated a little in V.if house thi morning. .'ir. Hun ton, chairman of thr committee, stated that it provided, under tho three head-, fur tf.c find completion of the House and grounds, without touching what Mont pelior had already paid. Thi -u:ii amounted to $12,000, or about that. Tao bdl proposed to let that stand. If members thought that Montpelier had paid enough, then thoy should make this ap propriation. If they refused to do so, this will virtually be compelling the citizens of Montpelier to bear burdens in addition to the b'-avy one they have already assumed, lie bill was, after a few more remarks, orderod to lie and be made the spe cial order for Wednesday next, at 11 o'eiock, A.M. The bill to pay Dr. Powersa highrr salary than any persons in the employ of the Sta e over re ceived, was laid over to Tuesday neit. The matter of removing the shire of Bennington County, to Arlington, has taken up much of the attention ot tho House for the List two sittings, t'ho Committee composed ol" the members from Bennington County reported by a raijority, sub mitting the question that the legal notice had not been giv. n. The minority thought it had. The question stems to balance on this point whether the date nt a nowypaper or the day of its circulation amonrj the ptofle, shall 1 reckoned as the day on whieh it given tho notice to tlie public. Tho Bennington Banner, the paper in which the notice waspahlishe I, i' noaiinilly :.-sued on Fri day. It is aetorlly .cnt to all the toirns in tho county which lie on the KailreaJ arid to all which have direct mail communication with Benning ton, on Thursday afternoon and evening previous. The full time for the legal notice requires that it bo Jublished on Thursday; was tho notice legal Tho Houss overruled tho Committee and ordered mat tue notice ue considered Ies"1- - the mat ter of removal goes back to the Committee for consideration. The Senate have been ooeupied for several dayj, more than upon any thing oUe, with the matter of salaries for County officers instead of fees. The proposition of Mr. Chittenden, to make the sena torial representation tho basin upon whieh to graduate tho salaries in the several counties, has been abandoned, and the population substituted as the basis, with some modiSeatiotts in favor of some counties where from leention or otherwise, there seemod to bo need. The work in the Senate has hitherto referred mainly to the State's Attor nio. With this they have got through I nnder stand, and thereby thoy have settled principles which will inako the work on salaries of the oth er oounty officers easier. It seems probable that the bill .rill pass. Yonrs, Dsux. Tke Springfield liepitbltcan has a correspond ent in Iowa who tells things in a mighty pleasant way. The following description of a little episode on a journey is a sample of ins quality : I took breakfasc at Moreau, and n little in cident took nlace there which I will not scruple to relate. I was seated alone at my i . i t . , ...... ... . . oruiKiasi, ami a 'little maid' was stationed near the table to minister to my necessities. The i box Imd evidently been pied when this child was 'set up," and in consequence she had been made the perplexed possessor of a pair of italic ones, which, though they em phasized her expression greatly, did not add much to its perspicuity. I supposed the lit tle girl was looking at me, though it was difficult to tell whether her glances were in tended for me, or for a three story clock which stood in the opposite corner of the room ; but I ventured to address her . Myself 'Good morning, sis ; what is your name ? Small Girl 'Liz Lizzy Elizabeth, sir.' I- 'Ah, that's a pretty name. Lizzy ; what's your other name?' " S G. Blushing deeply, looked down, but answered not a word. -M. Encouragingly 'Lizzy what, dear?' S- G. In evident torture, wriggled and gasped, but still wa& silent. M. pointedlyj 'What is your last name, Elizabeth ?' S. G. 'Tubbs.' The dear little child ! No wonder she writhed and twisted. No wonder her name stuck in her throat and dammed up her ut terance. If that ancester of here, who, by his gluttony or his stolidity, earned for him self and his descendants this hateful cogno men, could have seen the misery into which he bad plunged this little innocent girl, would he not have rolled over in his grave with repentance? I pitied the child, and so I asked her ; 'Do you belong in this house, Lizzy ?' 'No sir." she replied, 'they've took me.' And so f iierceivi d that they had took and hooped 1 1- tittle Tub!, and seemed to be using her for si p purposes mostly. There is something amuaag in the follow ing despatch irom Charles town to toe Balti more Exchange .- 'Brown's speech created the greatest excite ment. The guard has been increased.

At Marksville, Louisiana, on Monday, 19th inst.. Judge Cullom, on coming out of tbe court room stepped up to M. B. Lewis, Esq., a lawyer, ana demanded an apology for an insult which Lewis had perpetrated. The apology not be ing itistactorv, the .fudge gave Mr. L a heavy slap in the face, and a scuffle ensued but without much damage to either party On the 12th, E. T. Lewis, a son, und J. C. Ijewis, a nephew, of M. B. Lewis, rode into town tor the purpose ot attacking the Judge I he court adjourned alter a oriel session. and the Judge armed himself and paraded the sireete, remarking that if they wished to attack him, then was the time. 1 hey made no demonstration, though within a short dis tance of him part of the time. Afterwards the Judge sat down on the front gallery of a coffee house, when E. T Iewis made a motion as if to draw his pistol, and the Judge requested the bystanders to move out ot the way. At length Judge got up and walked backward and forward in front of the coffee-house. Soon E. T. Lewis raised his pistol very deliberately and taking steauy aim urea at juage uuitom, the latter standing within eighteen yards of his assail ant, and with coat and vest thrown wide open; he returned tho shot. They fired al ternately until Lewis had exhausted his sev enth shot. Mr. L.'s pistol snapped once, and Judge U. s twice. After the Judge had fired ten shots, some one banded him a walking-cane, which proved to be a small shot gun. After exam in it closely, ho raised it and fired it at Lewis. At this instant John C. Lwis took deliberate aim and fired at Judge C, and then walked off. E T. Lewis received two wounds before he retreated, and the Judge drew a knife and w.io ubuut to jiureno bis nseo.il ante, hut w prevented by the bystanders. l he next day the Judge opened court and disposed of all the business before it, and then sent word to the Messrs. Lewis to know if they desired to renew the contest. They replnd that they did not.

That a s-eond edi tion is called for so soon is a token that tbe labor of the industrious editress is aoure- a a in ted m n way which is very surreeable to those who make hooks, and especially grati fying to those who publish them. The object of tb- compiler waa not luiteh to give a collection of choke bits of Vermont poetry, as t present samples from a great many writers fr ro tha eaiflejt stays of the State to the present. This plan of the work must be kept in mind by one who would judge fairly of the merit of the work. Of the first edition wu said the compiler would have improve! it very much if site had culled her samples more rigorously than she di t. To some extent the t-ume may be said of the present edition. As a whole it is greatly improved, and s uae excellent ad ditions have been made to tbe collection. Miss Hemmenway deserves tbe thanks of ber fellow citizens for her work, and we con gratulate her on the suecem it has met with. We see the "Song of the Vermonters" has a place in it. and from tbe heading of tbe page as well as from the index, the reader is left to attribute its authorship to Fessenden ; though a note speaks of its authorship as somewhat doubtful. We .lt .j there is really no reason to doubt that the author is the chief of American Lyrists, J. G. Whjt tiek and that the song is of modern origin. Tbe volume is very handsomely printed.

Mr. Chittenden would not discuss this subject, and hoped tlie nominations wniild be oon3rmed. Mr. Nicholson said the reason that actuated him to move to lay the nominations on the table when- received was not because he disliked the nomina tions, but for tbe purpose of awaiting action on the bill dispensing with the Board, tie approved of the nominations, and when the time came lor him to cast bis vote for them he should do it hear tily. He was opposed to tbe present law. Mr. Needhara hoped that thp nominations would be confirmed ananiraosuly. The Board of Edu cation is the head of of urreent ;li"ol up stem. and a blow struck at that will be fat.il to the sys tem lueu. ii nas oezrime one o tlie limitations i me oute, ana toe people are disposal f" give it a mr trial, it is attended, of itself, by a small expense last year a little exceeding two hundred dollars bat a part ot t'os expense was extraor dinary, occasioned by a protri-tei session at Bur lington to bring about a uniformity of school books. This very thiug alone will save thousands of dollars annually to the people of the State. Mr. Ev-arts observed that he bail said at the last session all be ought to say on tis subject, aad he would add a remark from his fr end Mr. Davis at his side "Tee, and a great deal more." lie feared this school system needt.il to be inflated, and he knew of no one better qualified for it than the Honorable Senator from Windsor. He ap proved of the gentleman nominated for the Board. Mr. Nash was happy to know that the views of his friend, the Hon. Senator from Rutland, had undergone a change, or that be was willing to make any concession. The question before the Senate was not whether the State should call to its aid an efficient Board of Education, bat wheth er we should confirm the nominations made by the Governor. He trusted the Dominations would be confirmed. The nominations were then confirmed nnani- monsly. Mr. Wilson called up the hill to pay A. B. Gardner, $210,23. Mr. Chittenden said that since proposing his amendment he had had this matter explained ; and he would withdraw ais amendment. Mr. Wilson said that of tbe snm allowed the Commissioner, $ 10 was tor labor on the Essex and Dauby banks, and the remainder was for services and money paid in respect to aVu! eighteen other banks, nnder the act of ISoS. An amendment apportioning the amount among the banks was adopted and the hill passed.

On this matter Mr. Needbara said: Tao commit tee did not intend to write a history of the Geo logical Survey of the State; and at the time of the drafting of tbe report tbe committee did not suppose that the publicity of a printed document would be given t it; but as that bad been done, the committee consider it due to the memory ol ArersTcs rotrwa that tbe report should beamend et' by the addition of the following words; "Upon the death o. Prof. Thompson, the Hon. Augustus Young of St. .tlbtns was appointed State Natur alist by Gev. Roye, and the charge of farther prosecuting the survey was placed in his care. His feeble health induced him. however, after having spent some nine months in the presecutien of the survey, to tender his resignation. And af ter having published a valuable Report of tho History of the Survey, he, too, died." I believe, sir, that thU link added to chain makes it complete. On motion of Mr. Hverts, the Senate went into committee of tbe whole on Senate bill Xe. 52, and after some time spent therein tbe committee rose, and Mr. Chittenden reported the bill, with amend ments, raising the salary of tbe State's Attorney of Esex Connty toS200, Grand Isle to $100, and Orleans to $350; also requiring '-costs" to bo re ported by the Attorneys in addition to the 'fines': also limiting the penal section (fourth) to receiv ing to his own use, or the usoofany other person," any money, 4c, except salary.

Providing for the res toration of highway crossings on railroads discon tinued; passed. Mr. Hverts moved to commit Senate bill 52 for amendment in the fourth section, by striking out all the penalty ex pt fine not less than S300, tho words to be stricken out being "and shall, after oonviction for such offence, taking fee or reward beyond salary, be deemed incapable of holding any civil office in the State." Mr. Everts would not single out ny class of men for so extraordinary a penalty. So '. Even State's Attorneys ojl't nor to be driven beyond purgRtorv, and the graces of mass and holy water. Mr. Chittenden denied tbat Attornoys aro sin ,.,t for ounishraent. True, they are to be punished if tbey abuse their office to exact money, ir if for a bribe they withhold prosecution; but the statute now fixes at least equally severe pun ishment lor other persons guilty of like offences. In an Attorney, who is supposd to know tho law better than others, this offeneo would be of the gravest sort-all bat capital. Mr Davis thought tho sectniodid not cover tha offence of compounding felony. If it did, ho would make the penalty more severe. He moved to strike ont the section. Let offeneej be called by their right names. Mr Everts concurred with Mr Davis, and object ed also that this section might be so construed as to make trivial matters great offences. Mr French thought the construction of Mr Da vis destroyed tho section. Ifjthe section embraces compounding felony alone, tho penalty certainly is not too severe. But if an Attorney abases his office, even to a less degree, tbat ought to debar him from all other civil offices. Mr Davis repeated that the penalty is not too severe for compounding felony; but he doubted whether tho section embraces that offence on the one hand, and on tbo other thought it did em brace minor offences unworthy of so severs pun ishment. As well might tho same penalty be put upon Senators for straining their mileage account. Mr Chittenden A State's Attorney cannot take ono dollar beyond his salary without incurring moral guilt and grossly abusing his office. Suoh a man merited the penalty of this section. Mr. Davis There may be cases of extra ex pense in tho dischargo of tho duties of tho office, where it may be for tho interest of the State and the furtherance of justice, to allow tho Attorney something for saah expenses yet. should he ac cept anything, it may be tortured into a high crime under this section. Mr. Nicholson agreed with Mr. Davis. Tho penalties should bo graduated according to tbo nature of the offence. While he most say this, he heartily concurred with Mr. Chittenden ia hit condemnation of any dereliction by Attorneys. The motion to commit for amendmendent was rejected, and the bill passed. Senate. The Senate was occupied mott of the Friday, Nov. t. forenoon in Committee of the Whole discussing Senato bill 57, establishing salaries of tbe Judges and Registers of Probate Courts. AFTERNOON.
