WILL rIEaE BE AN EXTRA SESSION
OF CONGRESS t .
The question, as to an extra session of Con
gress, still agitates the minds of many ; thong h
we infer from the latest reports t hat the call, if
made at all, will not be issued much in Advance
of the time for the regular session.
It is true that the late congress adjourned in
the 'midst of revolution, and failed to strengthen
the arm of an incoming Executive. It left the
President without the power necessary to carry
out the administration of the Government; and
though the public disorders seemed imperatively
to require extraordinary legislation, Congress
failed entirely to meet the demand made upon
them, or meet the exigencies of the times.
Under these circumstances it was thought by
many that Mr. Lincoln would be compilled to call
an extra session at once in order to enable him
to maintain not only the power which he had
left him by the preceding corrupt administration ,
but to give him such power as seemed absolutely
necessary for him to make any advance what
ever in the execution of the laws, or to effect
any advance in the way of a. settlement of pres
ent difficulties, either by thestroug arm of law.by
coercion, the sword, by compromise, or even tur
r nder ! And from the tone of the southern pa
pers universally and that of a large portion of
the northern democratic press we are led to be
lieve that even among ourselves we have quite
too many who would like to Lave the present
administration driven even to this latter al ter na
tive, and who would rejoice to see Mr. Lincoln
fail at whatever cost to the nation. With these
men, politics the pride of place the emolu
ments of office and the small notoriety which
the passing hour may give them hold para
mount claims to those of patriotism, the love of
liberty or the pride of manhood. But, in the
exuberance of their joy over the present embar
rassments of the country, these professed demo
crats quite over shoot the mark and show them
selves simply the counterparts or rather new
fledged ''specimen bricks" of the old fashioned
tory of '76
It is gratifying, however, to all tme friends of
the Union, to see that in the multiplicity of em
barrassments left as legacies by the old adminis
tration to the new,there is enough that the Execu
tive can find to do, to keep itself in active oper
ation for the best interests of the country.
Among the usurpations of the slave power in
the Union , there has been none which has work
ed more evil than that of the Executive appoint
ments at home and abroad. In the latter, espe
cially, we may say that forthe last twenty years
at least, the true principles of the United States
government, as understood by the early fathers.
have rarely been represented in the Courts of
Europe. Slavery has had tei: representatives
there, to where liberty has had one. And the
same may be said of the Executive appointments
in the home departments of the government.
In the diplomatic appointments alr.-ady made
y Mr. Lincoln it will be seen that he has taken
this '-bull by the horns and we are happy to
see that in his selection of foreign ministers h
has exercised a wise judgment, and one that
meets with the hearty approval of the honest and
true men of the country. And thus it will be i
the, perhaps, less essential appointments in th
home appointments. The breeding nests of trai
tors j the-'hatching out" places ol treason, and the
sly nooks and corners wherein doughfaced democ
racy is bred, are all to be overlooked, and the
larva thereof cruhe1 uul as unprofitable "stock
in a land of Republican freemen. All this, an
much more, can be done by the Executive with
out the aid of an extra Congress. The nationa
forces, both of the army and navy, can be quie
lv marshalled into position ; both branches of the
service can be purged of its "dead wood," an
worse than useless material ; and when the time
comes for action should such a time ever come
we shall have no fears for the "back bone" of
the present administration no misgivings as to
the ynllantry and intrepidity of Northern free'
men, and no dread anxiety in regard to the re
sult.
SorTHERK Conventions-. 77k Palmetto State
('milinif Pctrn. The South Carolina convention
re assembled Tuesday. Mr. Schlinger offered
resolution that all supplies, provisions and ma
facilities lor Fort Sumter be immediately tut off.
Ordered laid over for consideration to-morrow
The general impression is that the resolu ion
will le voted down. Sharp discussions will be
held on the Confederate States constitirion, bu
its ratification is probable.
In the Virginia convention, Tuesday. Mr
Preston advocated the making of a district de
in and on the North, with the alternative of
separation if not granted. He believed the pre
sent position of affairs is full of hope for both
sections. Ex Gov. Wise took the ground tha
the guaranties demanded are insufficient. Mr
Xselson spofce against secession tor any reasons
now existing. The secessionists in Virginia
are beginning to despair of passing a direct se
cession ordinance, ami are urging the adoption
of the Atkansas plan, to submir the quetion of
secession or co operation to the people. Tl
Union men are confident that secession will be
voted down by a large majority.
Temperance. A large and appreciative au
dience had the pleasure of listening to a most
eloquent Temperance lecture at the Town Hall
in this , village on Tuesday evening last. The
speaker was.a lady Mrs.Shepardof Wisconsin
For more than an hour she engaged the atten
tion of her auditory in a style of eloquence sel
dwni equaled, lae arguments which she put
forth were unanswerable. That many of on
young men are fast going to ruin from this thing
alone is a lamentable fact ; and we hope and
trust that the effect of this lecture may be good
and that it may long be remembered by those
who heard it.
Mrs. Shepard has been doing a good work in
the temperance cause m the State of New York
the past winter, and has spoken in a number of
places in our own State, we understand, with
good results. We hope success may attend her
labors everywhere.
Cuktexnial Cklehratiom. We have re
ceived a hand bill signed by Joseph Joslin, H.
G. Neal, Henry Clark and others, of Poultney,
giving notice that a meeting of the citizens of
that town, women and men, will be held at the
town hall in Poultney on the evening of the 3d
day of April, for the purpose of adopting some
plan of action for the proper celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of the existence of
Poultney, which will occur on the 21st of Sep
tember next, the date of the charter being Sept
2 1 st. 1761, given to Thomas Ashley and sixty-
nine others by Becning Wentworth, Governor
of New Hampshire,
This celebration we thind cannot fail of being
one of great interest to the sons and daughters
of Poultney, as well as to all others who may be
present, and we predict a large attendance.
SENATOR SHERMAN.
The election of John Sherman to the D. S.
Senate from Ohio is hailed with pleasure
throughout the remaining portion of the federal
government.
The withdrawal of three such men as Seward,
Cameron and Chase, at ' one full swoop," had
opened a space which, to manj, it was thought
could not be well filled. But we think Ohio has
performed well her part in the exigency. Ohio
has within her limits many strong men; but
among them all she has B0 better than John
Sherman.

The N
Stars and Stripes at a Discount
Y. World Savs that tht ov',L,t'.,. : 1
difficulties have furnished for the flag -makers of
that city a rich harvest, and from the present
appearance the crop is not half gathered. In
the early history of the secession movement each
of the disaffected States chose a flag to wave
over their lands, and as the troubles increased
so the varieties in the combination of bunting
grew more numerous. Owing to the inability?of
having them made at the South, the orders were
forwarded to N. Y., and the flag-makers were
busily employed in filling them. Over ore
thousand flags were dispatched within'a month
When the seven States entered into a compact a
confederate flag was adopted, and the result was
that all the former flags were useless, and con
sequently the orders for new styles came in very
repidly. Last week Annin & Co., of Fulton
street, sent off two hundred and forty of the con
federate ensigns. The southern dealers sent
back the genuine original flag, and say, " You
can allow us for them, or at any rate, we do
not want them." Notwithstanding the large
number of United States flags returned they find
ready sale for them, owing to the fact that hotels
saloons, and even private residences, in various
sections of the country, now desire to display the
good old Stars and Stripes. It is said that the
reason that the flags are not made at the South
is, that the moths get into the original packages
and before they are made np they are ruined.
As yet no jack has been adopted to accompany
the flag. This will be done shortly, and then
there will be another chance for the flag makers.
Distribution of the Offices. The Sen
ate on Tuesday confirmed the following nomin
ations :
Wrri. S. Pennington, secretary of legation at
Paris ; Aaron Goodrich, secretary of legation at
Brussels; T. J. Dryor, commissioner to the
Sandwich Islands ; George F. Hopkins, poatraas
ma:tor t Otjorlin. Ohia
The following are amont; the. nominations
pending :
Wm. Clapp, of St. Albans, collector at Bur
lington, Vt.. Nehemiah G. Ordway, of Concord,
N. H., special agent of the post office depart
ment for New England,
Hodges of Vermont, Harding of Pennsylvania
and Theaker of Ohio are nominated for the
board of appeals in the patent cases, established
by the new patent law.
The following are considered probable :
J. T. Coombs of Ohio, district attorney for the
District of Columbia. P. W. C. Clarke, late of
the Burlington Free Press, can have the place
of reading clerk in the Senate. Gaorje Howe,
of Brattleboro, district attorney for Vermont.
For postmasters, Martin G. Everts at Iiutland,
George A. Merrill at St. Johnsbury, Luther O.
Greene at Woodstock, and G. G. Benedict at
Burlington, will probably be the lucky men.
A Millionaire. It is said that Robert J.
Walker has suddenly become a millionaire, by
the decision of the Supreme Court involving the
title to a quick-silver mine in California, esti
mated to be worth ten millions of dollars. Mr.
Walker is the proprietor of one fifth of this val
uable mine, and was offered not long ago, 2,
000,000 for it, provided the court should give a
favorable decision. The decision has now been
given, and Mr. Walker, to use his own words,
' beggar in the morning, went to his dinner a
millionaire.
A Spirited Minister. Rev. T. Starr King,
a well known minister, who gets $6,000 a year
salary in San Francisco, and makes no little by
his lectures, told his people lately that if they
would pay off the church debt by the 1st of May
he would stay another year with them, and per
haps two years. As they have paid off SlO.OOO'of
debt during the past ten months, and as there is
but about $6,000 more due; it is presumed that
he will not go back for the present to his con
gregation in Boston, who paid $2,500jsalary a1
year.
The Congress at Montgomery, have adjourn

convincing Vermonters that Geo. P. Marsh is
not in any respect an entirely suitable person for
the place to which he has been called.

The Missouri convention has adjourned until

Reliable. Some of the Herald men must

kinds of spirits. A few weeks ago the Her-
aid announced to the world that a train of

VI K A- ,. I... t,a T-Tl.l
bleedinz victims. No one but the Herald
men have ever heard of any such accident.
In this week's Herald we are itold that a
little son of John Landon was thrown from a
wagon, that his skull is fractured and " that
it is feared he cannot recover." It is enough
for us to say that the boj 's skull is not frac
tured and that no one has any fears that he
cannot recover. The boy is quite comforta
ble, and his physician is astonished at the
reckless statements of the Herald, which has
become as celebrated as its New York name
sake, for sensation articles void of truth.
Rutland Courier, March 22d.
One would suppose, from the above "stuff,"
that some of the Courier men are sometimes
troubled with a kind ol "spirits" altogether
different from ghosts and hobgoblins. The
Courier knows that the account of the Mid
dlebury accident did not originate with us.
We have before stated that we took it from
another paper and one, too, which even the
Courier would accept as good authority in
regard to such matters. The same account .
has appeared in several other papers in this
section of country; but the "Cur-rier" does
not bark at them. As to the accident to the
young son of Mr. Landon, we got our partic
ulars, as published, from an intimate friend
ol the family, a gentleman who would not
knowingly misrepresent the facts. AVe are
glad that the lad was not so badly hurt as
was at first supposed. Editors get most of
their news items at second-hand, and of course
are not expected to get everything exactly
correct ; but we believe the Herald is more
free from errors of this kind than newspapers
generally.
How long is it since the Courier falsely
told its readers that Dr. Goldsmith was dead ?
The Doctor's numerous friends hereabouts
were much paiued by that report of the Cou
rier, until it was contradicted by the Herald.
And it was but a few weeks since that the
Vermonter, published at Vergennes, accused
the Courier man of changing the dates of his
cattle market reports, 60 as to make it appear
that the reports were considerably later than
what they really were. We do not remem
ber that the Courier ever gave any satisfac
tory explanation of the matter. IIow is it
was the Vermonter's accusation true or not?

The Coi'kikb os the McDaniel's Will
Case. The Courier of last week, speaking of
thejdecision of the County Court in the McDan
iel's will case, savs :
"This decision sends the estate back to the
Probate. Court, for an equal distribution among
the heirs, three in number, Thomas, Nancy, wife
of Ezra Andrus,of Pawlet, and Isaac of our vil
lage' Now we have it quite authentically that " this
deeision'is only the decision of the County Court
The case is carried to the Supreme Court, and
until that Court passes upon the same, the case
is siiil ia litigation among the heirs not sent
back to the Probate Court as the Courier states .
The Courier is always ready to carp at any
little inaccuracy it may find in our columns
which is all well enough and we find no fault
with it ; but when it gets through with our " case,',
and undertakes, in the same number, (as was the
case last week,) to enlighten the public on a mat
ter of real importance, wou'd it not be well for
that paper to endeavor to get somewhere near
the truth ?
A Proposition. A number of the citizens
of Massachusetts have signed a petition, asking
the Legislature to pass a resolution in favor ol
allowiug the Cotton States to leave the Union,
"provided they declare freedom of navigation in
the Mississippi river, and surrender all right to
a district of territory , of six miles square, bor
dering on the Mississippi and opposite to the
city of No-v Orleans, as a port of entry of the
United States, and further, that th;y resign all
right and claim to participation of the territories
now belonging to the United States, and in con
sideration of which all fotts, custom houses and
other property of the United States, lying within
tiie boundaries of the above named States, shall
be made over and surrendered to them."
The Snow Storm and gale of last week was
one of the severest ever experienced at this time
of the year. Travel on all the railroads in this
section of county was more or less obstructed by
the deep and drifted snow; in many instances,
the trains were delayed from one to two days.
The fall of snow in this vicinity was quite heavy,
though considerably less, according to the ac
counts received, than on the east side of the
mountain. 'I he storm extended over a wide
range of country, but it seems to have raged
with greatest severity in New England. On the
coast it was very severe, but as full warning was
had of the coining gale.it is presumed that the
damage to vessels was not great.
The New York Tribune has for some time
past kept three correspondences in Charleston
in order to be safe against "accidents." Within
the past few weeks several gentlemen have been
expelled from that city on suspicion that they
. - 1 . .L .1 ' I- . -
were connecieu wim mis mcenuiary sneet, and it
appears that ia one instance they " hit a nail
upon the head." But the two remaining scrib
blers still continue to write on, if not unanoyed
at least undetected. But if the Charlestonians
make such a fuss over a pair or so of domestic
correspondents, what will they do with Mr.
Russell the Crimean correspondent of the Lon
don Times who has been sent over by that paper
for the express purpose of giving to that doubly
refined abolition sheet a full account of the his
tory, the cause and progress of the Southern re
bellion ?

We do not often editorially notice the medi

ease, that as a physician and philanthropist, we
have been both indignant and disgosted. The
remedy proposed, and the name at the head of

on the principle that Consumption and kindred

This remedy cures, or relieves, by supplying

Lottery Swi.ndle. We have before noticed
the Lottery Swindle attempted at North Thet

particulars. The plan was to send out letters
with Lottery Sche i.es, offering fortunes. &c.
As many as 17,000 of these letters were mailed,
and arrangements made to have the replies sent
to a certain post office in Pennsylvania. On dis
covering the movement, Gov. Fairbanks prompt
ly took measures to stop the replies at North
Thetford, and have them sent to the dead letter
office at Washington. It is stated that about
200 letters, containing $10 each, khad been sent
to Pennsylvania before the discovery of the
fraud, and that more than 300 have been sent to
Washington, that the money may be restored to
the dupes who were so foolish as to be caught in
mis way. ine matter is now in the hands of

The people of Andover have decided to
build a new town house.
Fifty eight pews in the new Episcopalian
church in St. Albans have been sold at an ad

John V. Hall of Bennington has been ap

David Elkins of St. Johnsbury was quite
seriously injured by a railroad accident at West

Hon. Isaac F.JiedfiVld. late Chief Justice

-William Clapp, of St. Albans, will, it is
thought, be the U. S. collector for the Vermont
district. His rival for the place is or rather was

A dispatch from Montpelier states that Hi
ram Atkins, editor of the Bellows Falls Argus,
has been sud lor li Gel by E. M. Brown, editor
of the Vt. Patriot, and late postmaster at Wood
stock. The libel was the assertion that Brown
was a defaulter to the U. S. Government.
The report that the Barton railroad agent
was a defaulter is wholly contradicted. The
whole amount missing was only $500, and $100
in a lump has been found in St. Johnsbury, and
the same amount at Barton, and several smaller
sums elsewhere, for which he had given the road
credit and neglected to make proper charges.

whj had forwarded it.

afraid lu hi htm of tha hA mm k aaigpSt strike'

the edge of the ax for fear he might spoil tbt
skin. It strikes us that if we were in a fight'
with a bear, that we should have more respect
for our own skin than the hide of the animal
The bear was finally killed by "Paul."

Tbb Missiost to Fac. The Tribune
says that Mr. Dayton will not be able t- start
for France under a month. His instructions,
like those of other prominent Ministers, are now
under consideration, and as the State of affairs is
extraordinary, cannot be prepared hastily. They
necessarily disclose tha policy of the Adminis
tration toward tha seceding States, because it is
obvious that oar Ministers must be informed
whether the Government here intends to treat
them as in or out of the Union. Without that
knowledge they bad better stay at home.

Growth. Lewis Foote, of Plain field ,Conn,
aged seventy-two years, diod on the 11th inst.
and on Tuesday an immense bony ezcresenca
extending from the back of his right ear to
Lis right uip, was removed. It weighs fifty
two and a half pounds, and u called by the
doctors skipping the jaw-bone technicalities
a degeneration of the shoulder-blade."
It had been growing since 1956, and did not
affect his general health very seriou.lv. The
substance is to be preserved at a medical ca
riosity. Tha secessionists of North Carolina, having
been fairly voted down by tfa people, ara sow
trying to set op a new movement. One of their
organs says :
There will be a meeting of the Suie's Bights
party of North Carolina, in Goldsboio, on the
22d and 24 inst. It is hoped that every county
in the Sute will be represented. Coma one
come all and save your State from the clutches
of the Abolitionists.
There ara again rumors of an nnpieaaaat ca
tore with r etc rente to liev. L S. Kaiioch. The
are of the same kind as those which occasioned
the famous trial. Hi friends aay that be e n

tic Union man in Caiiformo thus closes a busi

and outright for the L'tuou, w tuuever iu txrgis

pelican, nigger, bear, wolf, fiag, U!l ever ap
treason from its folds, while there lives a pioneer
to pull it down. Yours, iu tha bonds of L tuoa."
