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.
Listening, to join in Nature's prayer,
And, wandering in the solitude.
Her silent rapture share.

TheClinngc In Nc Jersey.
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. The activity and energy with which
the late canvasi in New Jersey wascirricd on,
is shown by the fact that the total vote this
year was 3,504 in excess of tl.c vote last
yrsrontlc undent inl election. Lastyear,
tbc vote fe i I'lifident was, for Lincoln C0,
723 : for McClellan CS,024, total 128,747:
majority for McClellan 7,361. Thin year,
the vote lor Governor was, lor Ward (union)
67,520 ; for Runyon (dcm.) 64,731, total
vote 132,251 ; excess over the total vote for
President last year. 3.504 ; majority for
Ward 2.739. Change in favor of the Union
ickct 10,090. Kilpatrick, Logan, and their
coadjutors, fought the battle nobly and well.
They detcrve tie thanks of their country.
oulhcrn Anxictr.
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.

Everything is not "all one way," and that
the wrong way, at the South, to the extent
claimed by the croakers. When before tho

over Republican victories 7 But how tho
Savannah Republican announces the news of
the late Union triumphs in a great flourish
of types, and makes "th glad tiding from
New York and New Jersey," the caption of
a double leaded leader. The Richmond fc

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."

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.

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 "Chimney Corner," by Harriet Becclicr
Stowr, is replete with good sense. Clemency
and Common Sense, by Hon. Charles Sum
ner, is ostensibly a historical discussion on
tho origin of a well known Latin verse,
warning Ihc navigator while he shuns Scylla
on tbe ono hand, to be careful not to fall in
to Charybdis on tho other. 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.

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

The Ogdensburg Journal states that two

In coming down from Atlanta, I saw a

itself to me in the South. There were white
men not Irishmen at work on the rail

as one could readily .erecivc from their sal
low faces and slender busts, nor any other
"furrincrs ;" and what is more, and mon
hopeful than all else, is that they were- re
turned rebel soldiers, as could bo at on-

can be required or tho South under '4

republican form of government." Nci".cr
the context of that clause, nor tho cmstrn--tion

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

including a large majority of the State, ' . 1
maintained that denial throughout t e .

Nothing is gained by these ingenuities a
