NUMBER TWENTY THREE. XV. NEW SERIES VOL. XII. BURLINGTON, VT FRIDAY MOKNING, DEC. 1 1865. VOL. Poetry. From ibe Hound Table. The Sabbath of the Yenr. Tfbrn comes the Sabbath of the Year, Xis sweet in woodland paths to etray. Ere jet the foliage, fluttering sere. Is swept to damp decay. Xo muse in Nature's quiet halls. Where, like a saint, she stands at prayers Thile Solemn Ihoupbt the sonl enthralls. Ami her rapture share. The streams, that all the Summer long Sang lyrics loud in careless glee, Glide ot.ward with a soberer song, K tenderer melody. They hash tbir voices to a hymn Subdued anU toft, though echoing clear Through woodland aisles and archways dim, The Tetis of the year. tic ugh the ninged choir afar has flown. Vet now the West-wind's breathing seems "it the religious organ's tone, "tr music heard in dreams. Vp lightly from unnumbered rills. Far-spreading, floats a vapor gray, l i'. iuccnec that some temple fills, V-'bcre thousands kneel to pray. The ruMlirg of the leaTcs aloft, V hen the bland breeze the branches stirs, I lite the murmuring low and soft Of myriad worshipers. The lingering wild-flowc-s bloominz fair. Though dreaming of the frost ofDcath, Send upward, like unutterrd prayer, Tht fragrance of their breath. Like friars, the aged trees around Stem telling beads in fitful prayer, Where'er a dry leaf to the ground Drops through the misty air. We feel a presence undefined, As if of spiritual things ; We catch their vague words ok the wind ; We hear them ware their wiDgs. Ye I, all we feel, and see, and hear. To serious mood the soul compels. As when there fulls upon the ear The sound of Sabbath bells. If then art wearied with the jar. Tie dust, the noise, the fret of life. And thc-u viculdjt tnly hear Iron far The tumuli cf the strife ; Hben ccmes the Sabbath of th"? Year, Within the wild-wood enter thou ; Cares from tby heart shall disappear, The shadows from thy brow. lu thtt wide fane not reared by hands, Shall blessings unto thee be civen, .s pour upen the parched sands Ihe welcome showers from hcsTen. .And thou shalt know that it was good.

It is rc that in any State the vote for State officers the year after n presidential election, comes up to that ol tbc preceding yenr.

Lastyear, tbc vote fe i I'lifident was, for Lincoln C0, 723 : for McClellan CS,024, total 128,747: majority for McClellan 7,361.

The great anxiety, at this time, in tbe Southern States, is on this main question : How can wc, tbc ruling maesesat tbc South, under our changed condition, reach the same reeul'6 which we did under our former one ? Formerly, when Slavery had full swing, by its means they kept the political power en tirely in their own hande. The slaves, and what few free blacks and mulattors there were, of courw had no power whatever. The poor whites who copied the conduct of their wealthy and influential, as faras they could, and adopted all their principles, in most cases had no more. To tcori, with them aa with the rich, was generally considered dis graceful. Work, aa they viewed it, belong ed only to "niggers" and northerners," who, liecaufc they did work and did not own slaves, in their estimation, were worthy ol no more respect than the Southern negroes themselves. As tbc case now stands, they all admit, or most of them do, tnat slavery is done, or ia to be done away with ; but they have no desire nor intention to go to work, any more than lfore. They aim to have the work all done by tbc same dark-skinned hands that did it beforei all the ordcrins, all the lording it over others, all the political talking and acting, in short, all tLc power and influence and privilege of a superior class, to remain with themselves just as it was before the rebellion. To this end, tends ncarlvall their proposed legislation, thus far. The idea that any one human being ought to have an equal chance with his fellow be ings to make his way in life, so far as rights, obligations and privileges are concerned, that he ought to lc treated as well as others who do as well as he decs, to 1 subjected to no more burders than others no more cur tailments ol his liberty than others, so long an be docs nothing which would be called criminal in others, of different blood, lace or color thii idea, wo say, has not, as yet, worked its way into the brains of many south of Mason and Dixon's line. The war has not taught tbcm that lesson perhaps it would bo unreasonable to expect that it would teach it to them directly. But it has taaght tbeni something which will prepare the way for them to Icarn it, as time goes on. Crcat Southern Offer fur Laborer ! A zood deal has been sud in Southern pa pers on the impoitancc of getting white la borers to take the place of tbc black ones in thoc parts.

Tns Fsencii Canadian Movement. In the earlv part of week, beforelast a meeting of FrenchCanadians was held in N. Y. lor pur poses which the accounts given of the as' sembly did not very clearly define ; but a description of a similar meeting, held in Elniira, N. Y., throws sonic light on tho de signs of the liberty-lowng Frenchmen. Dr. Cadicux, in an address to his compatriots, raid : "Fnr muiT Tears the French Canadians have been compelled oy persecution irom eue i.uS lieb, government, and, shame to say, from the hands of those from whom they naturally ex pected love and protection to leave their native soil and emigrate to the United States, where they sought the bread, space and liberty that were refused thetri under British rulers. The tory ortss and false patriots of Canada, fearing that the large emigration of Canadians toward the United States would continue, and, jealous of the prosperity and the blesiing of liberty wc enjoy in this country, have poured upon us tor the past ten years continued insults and gross calumnies worthy of their authors. But during the late war forty thousand French Canadians have taken arms and fought bravely for ths de fence of the government which had given them protection, and this, especially, has exasperated the Canadian tories so much that their presses and pulpits thunder not only falsehoods, but the most ridiculius and lalse assertions. Our com patriots arc suffering in Canada, pining away under bard labor, which, under despots, never rewards. Let us seire the first opportunity not only to refute the black calumnies of the Cana dian tories, but let us watch Ihe progressive events which are passing before us, and, at tbe first rallyiDg cry, let us give our support to our compatriots in the neighboring provinces and help them to break their shackles.. Let us not I deceived. The hour of deliverance for Cana da, like that ot Ireland, will soon strike." Tbc French Canadians, at the same meet ing, resolved to deny in the name of the fourteen thousand or their people who with their lives paid homage to lioly liberty for which they fought during tLc American war, that mercenary ideas were their only motive; they say they are proud that they have shown the American people that they were worthy the liberty they enjoy; that they will ever be ready to rally to tho defense of tbe American Iicpublii, and that they tender their sympathy with their compatriots suf fering in Canada : desire them to remember 'that the tens of thousands of French Cana dians who are breathing the free air of tbe American Republic, will ever 1 ready to give them support moncv, hands and hearts when they wish it ; to rcmcinbcr that the days of darkness aro fast disappearing ; that the principles of liberty, equality and fra ternity the fundamental doctrines of true democracy arc marching around the world, and that the despots and monarchical nations will be compelled to kneel down at its passage." It would seem from the proceedings on Wednesday ol last week, or tbc convention of French Canadians in New York, that they bavo the idea of constituting Upper Canada an independent State, to bo governed by men in sympathy with their views, and in harmony with their republi can feelings. Fenian Scase in Canada. Tho Gjvcrnor General of Canada, having as ho says "had under consideration the possibility that raids or predatory incursions on tho frontier of Canada may lc attempted during the winter lry persons ill-disposed to her Majesty's gov ernment, to the prejudice of the province and the annoyance and injury ol her Majes ty's subjects therein ; and being impressed with the importance of aiding her Majesty's troops in repelling such attempts," h.is is sued orders calling out fur frontier service, for as long a period as may be necessary, one company ot volunteers from each of the towns of Quebec, Montreal, Hamilton, Lon don, Port Hope and Woodstock, and direct ing all officers of volunteer corps throughout the province to complete their numbers and hold tbcmselvcb in readiness lor inarching and actual service at a moment's notion The volunteers will receive seven dollars a month or twenty-five cents a day. The Montreal people were alarmed on Sunday last by a hoax to tbc effect that' an armed force of Fenians had paraded tho streets of Derby Line Village in Vermont. This was quieted by an announcement by tbe Montreal Oa :etle that it waa emly "a company ol Slato militia, or State volunteers in the United States array,, sent by the United States gov crnment to npress smuggling."

The University of Vermont nnd State A gricultnral College. Tbe Trustees of the Vt. Agricultural Col lego met at Montpelicr on the 20th and elected, to form a part of the board of Trus tees of the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, nine of tbeir number, as follows : Hon. J. S. Morrill, of Straflbrd. Hon. P. T. Washburn, or Woodstock. T. W. Park. Esq. of Bennington. Hon. S. M. Dorr, of Rutland. Hon. S. II. Stevens, of Enosburg. Horace Fairbanks. Esq. of St. Johnsbury. B. Richardson, Esq. of Montpelicr. G. G. Benedict, Esq. of Burlington. Bcv. Horace Derrick, ol Wolcott. Mr. Edwin Hammond of Middlcbury wa9 elected a member of the board, and aa a lead ing representative of the farming interest of the State, was urged to remain in it, but he declined absolutely to serve, and .Mr. Derrick was chosen in bis place, as above. The nine wero then, agreeably to the pro visions of tbo Act of incorporation, divided by lot into three classes, as follows : 1st class, lo hold six years Messrs. Fair banks, Richardson and Dorr. 2f class, to hold four years Messrs. Mor rill, Stevens and Derrick. Zd class, to hold two years Messrs. Wash burn, Benedict and Park. Tho members of tho new board, previous ly elected on tho part of the University of Vermont, arc as follows : Hon. Oliver P. Chandler, Woodstock. Hon. Worthington C. Smith, St. Albans. Rev. C. E. Fcrrin, Esq , Hincsburg. Rev. Chas. C. Parker, Esq. Watorbury. Lawrence Barnes, Esq. Burlington. J. S. Adams, Esq. Burlington. Henry Loom is, Esq. Burlington. Henry P. Hickok, Esq. Burlington. Hon. Albert L. Catlin, Burlington. Tbc cightccnjgcntlcmcn above named, with the Governor, who is ez-offiao a member, accordingly constitute tbc corporation of tbc University of Vermont and Stato Agricultural College. Tho President of the institution when one is elected, will also bo a member, thus forming a board of twenty members. A meeting of this body took place at Mont pelicr on Tuesday, Gov. Dillingham presid ing, at which the requisite papers for the transfer of the property of the University of Vermont and State Agricultural Collego to tbc new Institution were prepared and duly recorded with the Secretary of State, and tbe union ol tbe Colleges final ly, formally, and fully consummated. Committees to nominate a President of tbe Institution ; to prepare a plan, courses of study, .tc; to secure subscriptions to the funds of the institution ; and for other neces sary purposes, were chosen. G. G. Benedict was elected Secretary. Tho late Treasurer, Librarian, Auditor, and Curator of the University, were re-elected, and the present Faculty continued for tbc time being. A gratifying harmony and earnestness of spirit characterized the meeting. Tbc importance of the union thus effected, to tbc cause of education and science in tbe State, and to tho best interests of our Uni versity and community, can hardly be over estimated. The Agricultural fund, thus united with the funds of the University, amounts to about $140,000. To this will be added handsome subscriptions, some of which have already been made by men of wealth in different parts of the State, and more arc promised. Our own city and vi cinity is also exacted to add a liberal sub scription for the erection of additional build ing, purchase of land, Xc. The other Counties which subscribed their twenty and thirty thousand dollars each to secure the location of the Agricultural College, look to this County to show at least equal liber ality, nor do wc fcur that tho just expecta tions of the Stato in this matter will be dis appointed. With sucb added strength, tbc Uni versity will enter on a new and stronger life, and enlarged sphere of usefulness. All that is desirable in its former character, oil that has gained for it tho affection of its Alumni", and the respect of highly educated men throughout the country ,will be retained, and strengthened, while at nevr departments and elements of usefulness, adapted to tho char acter of tho State and the wants of this working age, will be adlcd. Students by hundreds will, in time, as theso advantages arc realized, flock to its halls ; and tho Stato will have a University, moro than ever wor tbv of bearing its name and of receiving its fostering care-. One of tbe best things of tho season is from Bishop Simpson, who has declared in favor or paying tbo rebel war debt when it becomes due, viz : after " trie independenco. ot the Confederate States shall bavo been se cured." The Boston Traveller blows very strongly on Judge Redfield's doctrine, that the only ground on which the frcedincn or the South can be mado voters is the clause or tbe Con stitution requiring Congrets to guaranty a republican form of government to tbc several States. It gives a long list of republics al ways called so from thosojof Greece and Rome down to our own, in which slavery was allowed and winds up as follows : " Our power to convert tbo frccdmcn into citizens is not derived from tho republican clause of tho constitution, and that clause never before was interpreted to mean any thing of tbc kind. For years after tbe con stitution which, contains that clause had be come the organic law ol the land, many States most States excluded larce numbers of their pcoplo from the polls, because they were not potsscssca or certain property quali fication". Bhodo IsliDd required, that the voter should bo possessed of a certain amount of real estate, or that he should bo tbo eldest son or a person who was thus qualified. Yet Rbodo Island was a republic, and no sane man ever thought that the federal Govern ment had tno- right.to call tho majority of tier nialo population to tbc polls under the, republican polity clause. Our power to deal with the condition 6t tho Southern colored Imputation proceeds; from the", right of con quest, a right to tbo exoroise or which tberd is no limit, save what rirocccdi 'from tho force or public opinion. Had ;wp.not con quered tho States which rcbeUed', we could not hare interfered with tbeirinternal con dition, and never should have thought of tiiu interfering, ttehave tbc power, to, ele vate tbe colored people politically, and wc should exercise it, as men of sense, and ai nun who love justice. We should elevate; tin-in, because it is- our duty to do as we would lie done by, and because we-arc strong enough to do our duty. Acting ou the broad principle Of right, we shall find our en use better sustained' than" we could hope to sus tain it by deducing from the' constitution -a power which that instrument con fen utxin no body'ofinen in 'the country1.. Wi "weaken our cause wnen we sect to loumi we pro- cccdings necessary to its support and tri umph on wild interpretations of the consti tution, instead of acting in accordance with plain lacts, and making use of that opportu nity to do right which Ueavcn has given us, boldly, and without circumlocution."

The article cntitlcd"WiIliam Blaekwood" imputed to John Ncal is veryjintercsting. The "Chimney Corner," by Harriet Becclicr Stowr, is replete with good sense. Clemency and Common Sense, by Hon.

Tbe application of tho proverb to the conduct of our public affairs at tbo South, is obvious and pertinent enough; but the hitchng on that application, so formally, to a merely literary disquisi tion a'lout authorship, is a sfctin upon good taste.

From the California Sunday Mercury, T "ThriIlln;Ta!c" of nu Involuntary .Kronaut. In 152 a lamous icronaut advertised that ho would make an aecension from Oakland, California. It was a total novelty to nine tenths of those ho addressed, and tbc public rushed to sec bim in crowds. In the centre of the space from which tho ascent was to Iw made, the hugo sphere floated, held down to vulgar earth by a dozen ropes grasped by as many persons selected from among tbc by standers. The navigator among the heavens bad not yet made his appearance, and the audience were growing impatient, as inani fested by their shouts and curses. He was probably playing frcezc-outpokcr with some flush miner, in some adjoining tavern, a la Artcmus Ward, and could not bo choked off. In a few minutes more the " machine" would bavo been torn into threads, when a gust of wind arising, the balloon was sudden ly wrenched from the hands that held it, and rushed like a rocket straight towards the clouds. Did wo say wrenched from all ? No not from all ! A cry of horror rose from the lately turbulent crowd ; for there, cling ing to a slight wooden cross-piece attached to one or tbo cords, was a email dark object which tivery ono pronounced to be a human being. A lad who had been selling papers among the crowd was one of those who had volunteered to hold tbc guys, and not being sufficiently alert, had been earned off with tbe balloon- Tbe spectators wero appalled, and eycry obtcrvcr momentarily expected to 6co him drop. But tho youDg adventurer had no such idea, and those who had glasses saw him clamber up tbo cord, and seat him self astride the crow-piece. The balloon as cended upwards in tho glowing rays of tho sun, it seemed like a specie ; then vanished altogether. It would have been difficult just then to have injured tbe life of that boy bt any pre mium. A, for the .involuntary aronaut, what must have 6een his jecTiDKs he found bimseir thus severed from tbe firm earth to 'which herhad'been accustomed. At first his ' little heart- was in bi throat, and ho seemed to have suddenly fallen Irom some vast height jnto nn abyss of fathomless air. Ihe world vanished instantaneously- from- sight. The boy had unfortunately wound tbe cord about his band in such a manner that it waa impossiblo to Icto at once. Yet knowing tbe Tate that awaited him, should he fall, he had, by ihe' exertion of an amount or slmigth wonderful m one sb'young, contriv- L'-ed to asaumo the' position of comparative saiety already nptcq. z .Iiiergr no saw tne wind driven clouds or differentstfaU rush past him with frightful Velocity, and, look- ing down, could dimly discern the landscape, and the ocean witb its ships, spread out as on a map. During tbc afternoon the people of licnicii saw the car dash by, and littl thought or tbe throbbing heart that fr.im that awful eminence awaited in cold and anxiety the coming night- Tho blood began to congeal in the veins of the little traveller: the act ol breathing grew difficult : his muscles increased to such a fearful tension, were beginning to relax ; a numbness was seizing on tbe fingers that grasped tho cord. A few minutes more must evidently ter minate the terrible ride through space. All at once tho rope attached tq the valve was thrown against the boy. He clutched it m his despair as in additional hold upon lite ' Joy ! The valve opens ! the gas escape-. ' the balloon is once more nearing the cart'. ' It rushes into the leafy embrace of a grove of trees, and after a violent strusgle, reels. When some ranchman, who liad been watch ing the descent, reached the spot he found the young adventurer seated on the ground at the foot of an oak, looking tbe very pic ture of astonishment, but none the worse for his journey, except a few scratches We have heard ol persons whose hair from terror turned gray in a single night. The hair of tho lad, on coming down, was a bright red, but aa it was red belorc he went up, wc- On nut know that this was anything remarkable. We meet him tho boy then, tbe man now daily, Iks looks like any oth r mortal, and seems to have forgotten all the circumstances to which he was indebted for Iiis elevation. From the Albany Argus. I.mly f-miigslln;. The Ogdensburg Journal states that two most resizeable ladies of that town have re cently been arrested for smuggling. The Collectors have received instructions to com pel the payment of duties on articlsof cloth ing purchased in Canada by persons residing on this side, and in ease or refusal to pay the Ie-gal duties, to prosecute fur tho pen alty. The Rochester Kipr'ss announces that it has been furniibed with tbe names of sever al respectably connected ladies, in that city, who bavo been extensively engaged in bring ing over fine goods, tueh as tbey could con ceal about their persons. The Collector by calling on the Etpr man, will doubtless be furnished with t'.e names uf the delinquents. The Custom Honsc officers, encourage"! iy the prcs, have become vigilant, indeed ' The other night, a lady from Waterloo, C. W., came over on a ferry boat, decked in hri robes for the bridal ceremony, bringing with her such articles as were indispensable I n the occasion. Instead of rushing into (.. arms of her affianced as she expected i:i touching the eastern shore of the Niagara, she found herself embraced by a Revenue Inspectur, who confiscated all her wedding traps as lawful plunder for Government. n appeal was made to the Collector of Buffal.i, who took pity on the unfortunate, and let her go free. In St. Louis, Friday, a collecting messenger of the United States Saving Association, hav ing thirty-fivo thousand dollars in a pouch, was knocked down on one of the most fre quented streets, and the money teized. The collector, however fired his revolver at the retreating robber, who dropped the money and escaped. The banking house of Messrs Benoist was also robbed of seven thousand dollars, and no clue to tha robbers. The Best Cow in Vermont.

The Macon correspondent of the Cincinnati Cmmrfii.' writing on the 13th, says : In coming down from Atlanta, I saw a phenomenon which has not before presented itself to me in the South. There were white men not Irishmen at work on the rail road, ditching.

Impartial SrrrRAGE. Wo are aomc.at surprised to sec a jurist of the standing f Judce Rcdfield maintaining that negro sv -fragc can be required or tho South under '4 constitutional clause empowering the Ft,'-. -al Government to guaranty to every State '-a republican form of government." Nci".cr the context of that clause, nor tho cmstrn--tion put upon it by the authors of the "Fi i eralUt," nor tbo "invariable practice of t government, warrant any such conclusi It would, indeed, be singular if, after ecv cnty years' experience, we had just disco:r cd that the denial of negro suffrage w-i inconsistent with "a republican l na government" in any States when so ms- . including a large majority of the State, ' . 1 maintained that denial throughout t e . whole existence. Nothing is gained by these ingenuities a lartetchcd constructions. Tho power t en force negro suffrage at the South, if we I avo it at all. is a part or the supreme powrr in herent in the Government for its self-defins.-. It is a part of tho samo power by wl .zu President Lincoln decreed emancipation LnJ effectually eurrictl on tho war, and by which ( President Johnson has appointed Provisional Governors of the seceded States and dictat.l his terms or reconstruction.

But if either the timo has gone tiy tor t-i- 1 ing mat step, or 11 u uk uuovj.uiaj rnanded by tbc paramount duty of obtaining "security for the future,'' but remains as a great an'd desirable reform, then it mav be accomplished by an amendment of tho Con stitution That would mako suffrage every where uniform, as Hamilton and others in the "Federalist" affirmed might have fecen done in tho first place, and treiuU have been done, had it not been for the tliscrepancies in tho several States, which have now Deen materially done away with.
