Congress adjourned latt week. There is a
conflict of opinion as to whether the session
was drawn out too long or not long enough.
One party claims that legislating by Congress
impeded the progress of the armies, while
another considers it very unwise in this body
to adjourn at a time when such momentous
consequences are pending, and when in case
of fori'ign intervention or other exigencies
th President would have to assume the en
tire responsibility. Notwithstanding the
fault that has been found with this body.Con
gress has accomplished a great deal this ses
sion, passing measures that have long need
ed to become laws. Among some of the im
jiortant bills are the iron-clad navy of twenty
ships, the tax bill, a new tariff, the Pacific
railroad bill, a bill to suppress the African
slave trade, abolition of slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia, the exclusion of slavery in
the territories, and the confiscation act.
There -is a painful stillness about the York
and Janics river peninsula, in both armies.
It is evidcnt that the Union army will be in
no condition to fight again until the oflicers
and soldiers get back, as they are now nearly
ull away on furloughs. Both armies seem to
be resting after the exhaustion of the recent
serics of battles, doubtless re-organiging and
receiving reinforcenients. A portion of Gen
Burnside's army is at Newport News, with
transports ready to take it to any point. Gen
Stevens' brigade from Port lloyal has also
reached Fortress Monroe.
Gen Pojie is the hero of this week. Hehas
opened his campaign in Virginia auspicious
ly both as regards issuing general orders and
work upon the rcbels: If he is abletocheck
mate the ubiquitous 'Stonewall'' Jackson he
will be the popular general longer than the
Northern jieople are accustomed to stick by
any one man. As Pope uses the musket in
stead of tho spadc it is sal'e to preuict that
something will be doue.
"We have met with soniething of a disaster
at Vickshurg at lcast we have not achieved
any success. The rcLel confederate ram Ar

ping they had n't got ''steam up," and were
in no way prepaivd lur this formidable adver
sary, which has escaped.
Gen llalleck has come on to Washington,
and all the letter writers are trying to guess
what for. Some say he is to be commander-in-chief
of our armies, others that he will be
military adviser of the President. That he
is to have a share in the future management
of the war is quite certain. May hebeequal
to the work he undcrtakes.
Great eflorts are being made in other
States to encourage recruiting. It has been
telegraphed from Washington that there are

the railroad corporation about the time the
road was extended from this place to Barton.
The defense of Mr Barnard was that he sub
scribed with the understanding that the road
was to go to Derby Line village, and that
the directors had not located the road at that
place. The paper which the defendant sign
ed stipulated that he should not be called
upon for his subscription until the entire
road from St Johnsbury to Derby Line was
put under contract ; and defendant claimed
that the term Derby Line meant the village
in that town which went by the name of
Derby Line.
The railroad company claimed, on trial,
that a fair construction of the words Derby
Line, as used in the contract, was the north
line of the town of Derby. They claimed
that at the time of this subscription they had
made no location of the road, but had ever
intended to keep it an open question until
suitable surveys had been made, so that the
best route could be decided upon.
The court charged the jury that the turn
ing point in the case was what the parties
unuerstood by the words Derby Line, and
although the defendant may have understood
the term to mean the village of that name,
yet if the plaintiffs did not so understand it
also, that the plaintifi's would be entitled to
recover.
The court also charged the jury that the
subscription, taken with the charter, raised
the presumption that the term Derby Line
meant the north line of the town, and not
the village ; and that the burden was upon
the defendant to show that at the time he
subscribfcd, both he and the plaintiff under-
don was a good soldier and always sought
danger. Aged 18 years.

Algiers, La., July 5th, 1SG2.
To the Editor of Thc Caledonian :
Since writing my last letter, the Sth regi
ment has experienced some of war's real ser
vice, and though the numbersincombatwere
comparatixely few, and the action apparently
unimportant, its influence and effect is valua
ble to us. Some in every company have been
more or less engaged under fire, and in every
instance have borne a irue soldiers deport
ment. We most cheerfully accord to Co H,
Capt Dutton, the honor of being the princi
pal combatants, and by their resolute and no
ble action of giving to the regiment a great
share of iht character we assume. We are
all ambitious, and should an opportunity be
given (there may be soon) the soul of the Sth
will indicate as much patriotism, courage and
foititude as any in the army. Our moral
conduct and general reputation is good, and
we mean to he soldiers worthy the good State
we represent.
We are in the very midstofenemies,whose
malice is rendered more apparent by every
false report of success at Ilichmond and oth-

" The infernal thing is killed," intimates
your Bockford, 111., corrcspondent, "Occiden
tal," referring to the new constitution which
the people of Illinois were called to vote up
on, the 17th of June. And so it is. And I
heiped to kill it, thanks to a furlough about
that time. I was "in at the death," hurling
a paper pellet, yclept a "vote," at the thing.
But "Occidental" speaks as though there
was no good in it, at all. There was good in
it. In this country, at this time, a constitu
tion is critically examined by intelligent vo
ters ere it is accepted; and would design-
ing men gain some advantage over the peo
ple by means of a constitution, the virus
must be concentrated and concealed. Much
that is good must be put in. Nay, nearly
all must be unexceptionable, for not every
voter can be led by the nose. So I say
there was a good deal about the "new con
stitution" that was unexceptionable. Sec-
tions of the Bill of rights were word for
word from the constitution of the United
States. Whole articles were taken from the
old constitution of the State. But there
were a few insidious clauses and sections
that were enough to condemn the whole.-
One objectionable provision that no negro
or mulatto should imigrate to the State
should never appear in the constitution of a
free State. It is well enough for Massachu
setts to prohibit the immigration of criminals
shipped by foreign govcrnments directfrom
their prisons ; but it is not well for a State
and deserving of admiration. Its cause be
ing just, it will aurely triumph over the wick
ed North. So, when an escaped secesh affi
cer comes along, he is taken in, or a soldier,
he is kindly cared for, but if a U. S. soldier
ventures over in uniform, he finds it too warm
for him, and he hurries to the U. S. side

drummer boys went over to see how things
ooked on the Canada side, when they were
beset by a lot of Windsor rowdies, and had
to beat a hasty retreat to the ferry boat. By
the time they arrived on this side, they were
strongly in favor of a war with England, and
were half inclined to declare one on their
own hook.

river. a iew uays ago, a cau was lgsueu
the Mayor for a war meeting, to be held last
evening, in the " Campus Martius" a com
mon in the heart of the city. At dusk a big
crowd was there, the officers of the meeting
were elected, but when a speaker arose what
a din was there ! Rowdies in different parts
of the crowd kept up such a hooting that it
was impossible to hear him. When patriotic
resolutions were offered, a loud " aye" from
the loyal part of the crowd was swallowed up
by the tremendous " no" that followed. Af-
tei an hour of such work, the meeting was
adjourned. Immediately a crowd rushed to
the foot of the speaker's stand, yelling for
Capt Ward one of the vice presidents, a
wealthy steamboat owner, and a hearty abo-
litionist with cries of " hang him," " lynch
him," etc. His friends escorted him to the
foot of the stairs, when he made a rush for
the Itussel House, with the mob at his heels.
Had it not b;en for the police.the mob would
hae entered the building. As it was, one of
the policemen was severely beaten. To-day

The work of putting down the rebellion
has nearly come to a stand-still. The partial
repulse of our army before Ilichmond,the bold
ness and tcmporary successes at least of the
rebels in Tennessee and some other of the
slave States where we had considered them
wiped out, the immense armies which they
are enabled by conscription to bring into the
field, all go to demonstrate that some diffir-
ent tactics must be adopted bythegoern
ment or instead of putting down the rebell
ion the rebellion will put down the govern
ment. Now what change can the govern
ment make that shdl tell against this mon
strous rebellion ? Use thc slaves of the rebels
atjainst their maslers. All testimony goes to
show that they arc willing and longing to be
thus used. The idea was universal among
an anti-Democratic and disunion body, want
ing in honesty, loyalty and patriotism. The
defeat of the patriotic resolution presented
and ably supported by Hon H. E. Stoughton,
to stand by the governmert and administra
tion in its untiring efforts to quell the vilest
rebellion ever inaugurated against any gov
ernment on earth the defeat of that is a
sufficient test of the sympathies of thealmost

" llespecting the Union Convention at
Montpelier, we must frankly say that its
character and action have agreeably disap
pointed us. It was not made a party con
vention, but was really what its call proposed
it should be and what that of last year
should have been a Union convention." A
Democrat, the Hon S. B. Colby, was appoint
