THE SECOND VERMONT REGI-
'MENT.
We think there must be a decided apti
tude among the men of our State, for pro
ficiency in the accomplishments that go
towards making up the perfect soldier. It
will be remembered that the encomiums Of
the Press upon the proficiency in drill of our
1st regiment were very general, and that
many journals placed them in the front rank
of the regiments that had then taken the
field. Of course we consider this as extreme
Iy complimentary to them. But made up as
that regiment was of uniformed volunteer
companies who had been in training for
years, we felt that they ought to be proficient
in military movements, and that therefore
tnere was no ilattery in the encomiums o
the Press upon them.
But our 2d regiment has been mustered
into the service of the United States, made
up of men who were taken at once from the
plow, the counting room, the workshop and
all the various occupations of our citizens
men who before had perhaps necr-r devoted on
hour to -military drill, who were simply good
citizens i ut no soldier. They rally around
the flag at Burlington, devote every hour
there to acquire the education of the soldier
(education they had never thought of, and o.
course never acquired.) and in an almost in
credible space of time they appear at Wash
ington, armed, equipped, and accomplished
soldii-rs, fully prepared for a three years
campaign.
The jit of danger in war, is always the
position ot the greatest honor. That post is
in the advance of the grand army on Rich
mond . and it is among the wonders of the
wonderful achievements of our citizen sol
diery, and reflects upon Vermo . !a'c
the greatest credit, that the 2d regiment,
snatched in a moment, as it were, from her
tar ms. her worktops, and her desks, are
the vanguards of the braves of the North
who are to wipe out the treason and the
traitors of the South, and reestablish on the
most enduring basis the liberties of the peo
pie. DANIEL S. DICKINSON ON THE
UNION.
Daniel S. Dickinson's address, recently de
livered before one of the Societies at Am
herst College, is an eloquent tribute to the
Union and a pungent argument in favor of
vigorous measures'' against the rebels. We
give the closing portion ot the address :
(ii'.e up the Union ' Nkvku .' The Un
ion shall endure, and its prai-es shall be
heard, when its friends and its foes, those who
support and those who assail, those who bare
their bosoms in its defense, and those who
aim their daggers at its heart, shall all sleep
in the dust together. Its name shall lie heard
with veneration amid the roar of the Pacific's
wave?, away upon the rivers ot the north and
east, where liberty is divided from monarchy,
and he wafted in gentle breezes upon the
Rio Grande. It shall rustle in the harvest,
and wave in the standing corn, on the ex
tended prairies of the West, and be heard in
the bleating folds and lowing herds upon a
thousand hills. It shall be with those who
delve in mines, and shall hum in the manu
factories of New England, and in the votton
gins of the South. It shall be proclaimed by
the Stars and Stripes in every sea ot' the,
earth, as the American Union, one and in
divisible : upon the great thoroughfai es
wherever steam drives and engines throb and
shriek, its greatnsss and perpetuity shall be
hailed with goodness. It shall be lisped in
the earnest words, and ring m the merrv
voices of childhood, and swell to heaven upon
the sonss of maidens. It shall live in the
stern resolve of manhood and rise to the
liieixv seat upon everv woman's gentle avail
ing raver. IIolv men shall invoke its per
Tvtuitv at the altars of religion, and it shall
be whispered in the last accents of expiring.
age. thus shall survive and be perpetuated
the American Union, and when it sh.dl be
proclaimed that time shall be no more, and
the curtain .-hall fall, and the good shall be
gathered to a more perfect union still, may

night express on the Troy and Boston Road,
and when first observed Lv him was bursting
out from all the windowsof the cstablUhment
The whole interior of the building was evi
dently completely enveloped in flames. The
engineer blew the whistle to the engine very
energetically, ami succeeded in arousing the
citizens of the place. It was, however, im
possible to do anything to save the burning
building, and the structure was entirely con
sumed. The mill had been closed about
three weeks, and the fire is supposed to have
taken from spontaeeous combustion, as a large
quantity of rags, rope, and other substances
used in the manufacture of paper, was stowed
within the building. Messrs. Hunter & Pat
ton manufactured wall paper exclusively,
and the mill was formerly owned and run by
the Messrs. Oir of this city. The loss by the
tire will reach fully 20,000. There was an
insurance of ouly 12,000 an the mill and
machinery.
Among the recent decisions at the Gener

Bradford O. Wait, for seven years subscrip

The decision was in favor of the publisher,
and the judgment and costs amount to be
tween two and three hundred dollars. Some
men think newspapers are published for the
fun of the thing. Such must have been the
opinion of the subscriber to the Democrat.

STATE ITEMS.
Eighty-one horses were recently shipped
from Montpelier for Boston on their way to
the war. They were all procured in Wash

Capt. William F. Hart of Burlington has
been appointed captain in the 3d squadron

FINANCE AND BUSINESS;
At this season it is always dull activity is
always taking its Summer siesta. But as far
as we can perceive, the signs ot' the times are
becoming larger and more decided in their
indications ot a considerable revival in the
Autumn. What was a cloud on the horizon
no bigger than a man's hand, a tew weeks
age, is now plainly visible from ever watch
tower. People have begiyi to talk of doing
something. Nay, they have begun to specu
late already for an advance in stocks and
merchandise. Confidence has been increas
ed amazingly since the meeting of Congress,
by the remarkable unanimity of its counsels,
by the firm and unlimited support it is giv
ing 0 the Executive.
The financial and commercial world feels
better, and although many bright and shining
lights have been put out during the "Year of
Treason," yet it is manifest that the commu
nity has qaite enough of means, pluck and
enterprise to go ahead rapidly in the way of
buying and selling. Property has shrunk,
because for the time, it paid little or nothing
individual fortunes have disappeared, be
cause the as-ets could not be collected, but
the community stooc firm and very rich, and
it now holds a sufficient number of members
able and willing to make money out of the
general rise that is as sure to come as is the
sun to shine.
Not that treason is to be annihilated at
once, and that ' good tun- r firn." in a twink
ling. But the miserable de-iiny of rebellion
is written so clearly in the facts of the day,
that everybody can read it. Everebodv
knows that it is doom". Henceforward,
therefore, it carries neither P-rror nor dis
trust to the loyal States, ami nothing but ter
ror and distrust can long repress the energies
of the American people. Our future is as
clear and as bright as ever. Niy, we may
have a right to expect that it will be exceed
ingly char and bright after we have entirely
emerged from this ttorni of treason which is
so sure to die away, in due season. And al
ready, the tempest has lost its electricity, its
power of increase henceforth, it maybe
tedious and annoying never again can it be
fearful and terrible.
The crop accounts do not indicate the im
mense harvest of ls;o ; but by general re
port, they are likely to be up to the average.
Money is in very large accumulations at the
seaboard, and there is every prospect of a
small import and export trade in the year to
come. The country stands well lor begin
ning a new career of prosperity : and for the
time, this career will be stimulated by the
enormous home expenditures of the Govern
ment. Boston Post.
Extr ordinary exertion will be made in
the Western States this ft!!, to manufacture
sugar from Sorghum partially with the ob
ject of evading the prospective heavy duties
on imported sugars, and to supply the defi
ciency caused by the loss ot the crop in
Louisiana.
A dispatch from Bunker Hill. Va., states
that Samuel J. Rae, the correspondent of the
associated press, who was arrested by order
of Gen. Patterson, has been honorably dis
charged. The peach crop in Ohio almost entirely
cut oil, but grapes promise an abundant crop.
The vines never looked better.
The Aldermen and Councilmen of New
York have just voted an additional appro
priation of half a million of dollars, lor the
aid of the families of the volunteers.
Among the honorary degrees conferred by
Harvard University Wednesday, was that of
Doctor of Laws upon His Excellency John
A. Andrew and Leut. Gen. WinfieldScott.
New Oil Wells. The (ireensburgh
(Pa.,) Democrat of Saturday, says : About
three weeks since Messrs. Dixon, Kilgore,
Keenan & Co., of this County, struck one of
the richest veins of oil which has yet been
discovered. The well is located on the
Sto.y farm in Venango county, and near
Buchanan oil-lands. During the first 21
hours, it yielded 160 barrels of fine oil, and
is now running over 100 barrels per day,
with every appearance of continuing to flow
at the same rate.
The well on the Bnnker farm, owned by
Steiner & Co., has proved a success. At the
depth of 465 feet sufficient oil was obtained
to justify them in tubing, preparatory to
pumping. The oil is said to be of an excel
lent quality.

Sketch of tiie Rebel Colonel Pe
gram. Geo. II. Pegram, the individua who
has surrendered his penitent regiment to our
victorious General, who wap born in Virginia,
and entered the Military jAcademy at West
Point in 1829 ; in 1833 he was brevetted a
Second Lieutenant of the First Regiment U.
S. Infantry. For two years, from 1836 to
1838, he was Adjutant, and in July of that
year was promoted to a Lieutenancy. Soon
after, in September of the same year, he was
appointed Aid-de-Camp to Gen.'Scott, which
position he held till August, 1840, when he
was made Captain. On the 30th of April,
1850, after the close of the Mexican cam
paign, he resigned his commission. He then
turned 'tis attention to civil pursuits, and sub
sequently was chosen Secretary and Treas
urer of the New Jersey Central Railroad
Company, which office he held for several
years.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Commercial has the following:
" Davis is looking for some good excuse for
retreating trom Virginia. His correspon
dents at Richmond and Manassas for the
Southern journals, are preparing the minds
of the people of the South for such a pro
cedure, by announcing to the South that the
at my of the confederacy are fast bec oming
demoralized by the Union sentiment of the
people of Virginia. It is understood here

Mt Dear Herald : The order to ad

Sabbath afternoon, was countermanded be
