At Gettysburg on July !', 18t):i, and again at Gettysburg in Jttly, lfetii, Gen Sickles obeyed the lirst half of the old and Inspiriting legend, "He bold ; be bold," as completely as he forgot the qualifying anil equally important admonition, "lie not too bold." From the steriKcoti'-equence.s of his excess of boldness in moving the Third Corps far to the front of the posi tion to which he had been assigned on the second day at Getty-burg he was partially rescued, as Col. Middle has shown, by the s'ill of his commander, Gen. Meade, and the bravery of the troops hurried to hi Mippo.t. in attempting a montn ago. single handed and unaided, by a similar excels ot boldness exhibited on tne same Held, lo remove what remained of conse quences to Ids previous rashness he is met with the stern arraignment by (Jen. -Meade, for the first time made public in to-day s i'roii, which is as overwhelming in Its way as was the onslaught ot Mc haws and Hood. Everything of import ance th.it Gen. Sickles has asserted in re gard to the second day's light is denied in this le' ter written by Gen. Meade years ago to Col. lieiiedict.andeverythingthat Gen. Sickles has denied is here asserted. (ieiinral Sickles n-sertcd that he had no order;- directing the placing of tin; Third Corp Colonel Diddle, heaid the order given usee, and again, and repeated. Gen era! -tekles n-sertcd mat the enemy were jintssit gin his front all the morning; that he so reported to General Meade, lint could obtain no directions. General Mchiws has shown that his troop- and Hood's were not in front of Sickles or visible to him till the middle ot the afternoon. And now the letter of General Meade him self declares what General Sickles denied, that his commander pointing out Hound Top, told him where to go in such exact terms that they could admit o no misconstruction. It denies what Gen. Sickles has asserted that lie forced the battle; it shows what tlie has denied the wisdom of the l'ipe Creek order; it denies what he lias claim ed a victory on the afternoon of the 2d ; it strip- from him every laurel which lie lias striven to seize ; but more than this, than all, it arraigns him, on the evidence of Gen. Geary, tor deliberate disobedience of oiders, for the destruction of ills own corp, for a terrible and useless loss of life, and for crippling the Army of the Po tomac to such an extent as to lessen the audacity of offence which its commander would ot In rwise have had. Alter leading this passionless and powerful arraignment of the subordinate by the commander the wonder grown that with the evidence, power and opportunity General Meade did not bring General Sickles before a court martial lor disobe dience of orders. It lias been said that the wound which the latter received and the generosity of the cliiel alone stood In the way. This letter from General Meade to Colonel Iienedict, marked throughout by the clearness, calmness, lurce and modesty of the atitlioi, anil the most decisive contribution to Ameiican history made in ncent years, was itself only written after General Sickles had trespassed upon the generous forbearance of the writer. It is published only after Gen. Sickles has repeated the offence described by Col. Iienedict as an attempt to elevate a corps commander at the expense of the commander of the army and by Gen. Meade as an endeavor to distort history. It leaves Gen. Sickles, to use a military ligure of speech, again driven Irom his advanced line far to the rear of the reserves. It could be wished, for the sake of the military fame of tills brave soldier, that he could show ignor unce, and not wilful disobedience of or ders, to lie at the root of his fault, but Gen. Meade's letter leaves small ground for sue i hope. CIUMKS AND ACCIOKNT.

Our readers will be pleased to learn that the success ol' tne summer Sciiool ot hanguages has been such that liofessor Stager has decided to return to Hurling- ton another year and continue the school here. President Stager furnished the fol lowing information ton representative of tills journal : During the. present season i there were IK) names registered, and though this number does not reach expec tations it is satisfactory, considering the numerous drawbacks that were working igalnstthe undertaking, liurllngtou it self could, and should have dono a little more In encouraging the Summer School. hast year's president came with a well established name and a number of pa trons from Amherst. Professor Stager, who was tho first choice ot President Itiiekhuin mill the faculty of the U. V.

He Intends to return and If liur llngtou will do its share he is ready to go on witli the school another year. He spent without leturn a large sum of money in advertising Darlington as a sum mer resort, and to do thlsanother year, lie must have the liberal patronage of the citizens. Professor Stager proposes to cir culate, later on, a paper for the names of those who would be patrons lor iwvl vear. imil iiefordilll' to its success, will depend the size of the next , year s summer school a great ueai oi money Is needed to advertise the school well, which can be done only witli the as surance ol certain returns. His teachers and assistants have al ready expressed to him their entire satis laclion at the treatment and consideration received under his leadership, and aie ununimousij hoping to comeback another year. They also all di dare themselves as well satisfied with the accommodations received through the University of Ver mont as regards board and rooms, and general treatment. There- are no dissent ing voices. It may be added that Piof. Stager and ids able (acuity were the re cipients of innumerable fluttering testi monials and compliments lor their en thusiastic and successful summer work fiom almost all of their pupils. It is tho general wish that the Stager College of haiieruiities may return next yeai and be come a permanent institution. CTnsitiK Kxerclse Friday at tlieUiiher slly Chapel. The closing exercises of the summer session of the StagerCollege of h'ingtiages were held at the chapel of the University Friday morning. The audience was rather small, not many of our citizens i)u ing represented ; but the spirit manifested by those who were present was very cor dial, showing that our people have a gen uine interest in the school. Had the hour set for the closing exercises been at a time of day when more of our citizens are at libei ty, the attendance would undoubted ly have been larger. The exercises were very brief and informal, consisting sim ply of remarks by President Duckham of tne University and President Stager of the summer school. President Duck ham addressed the audience as follows : it.i:sii!:nt duckiiam's iikmauks. I have been frequently asked, and es pecially when away from home, whether the summer tchool tills year was a suc cess. 1 have telt Instilled in replying that it is. Pecuniarily, 1 do not suppose it has been a great success. I do not suppose that our worthy president lias grown licli out of it. I hope, at least, that he has not grown so rich that lie will retire ; for that would be a public calamity. The grounds ot the college and the sneets of the city have not been so gay with great numbers as last year. That kind of success we do not claim. The attendance, however, has been respectable, and the material, as 1 think veil will admit, the very best. For the lirst time the arrangements as regards board and accommodations have been satisfactory which is a novelty. Hut the success of any school, of course, depends on the kind ot instruction given and the woik done by the pupils. I have made it my business to put myself in communication with the sentiment ot the school in tins respect ; and 1 have testi mony that the instruction has been of the very best, in no respect Inferior to that of lormer iears. The spirit of interest and enthusiasm has been all that could be de sired. That kind of success is really the highest which can be claimed for a school. It was at my suggestion, as you know.that Prof. Stager came here, and I do not to-day regiet the step I have taken. Alter thetnal of this session, I am satisfied that the character of the work is such that the University can afford to endorse and ap prove it. The other kind of success that winch depends upon numbers is a mat ter which is dependent upon us all. I may say that so far as the University is con cerned, we shall extend the same oppor tunities us heretofore and witli tho same cordiality. All that is needed for the com plete success of the sciiool in tho future is thai eacii and every pupil should come back and bring two others with him. Tills I hope you will all do. President Duckham's remarks were warmly applauded. President Stager then arose and made some brief remarks. rr.i:sii)KN"r stagkis's i:i..mai:ks. President Stager s dd that ho had very little to offer in addition to what had been said by President Duckham. First, he wished to express Ids thanks anil the thanks of the school to the University of Vermont, for t he courtesies It liad ex tended and the interest it had lakeu through its officers, President Duckham and Piof. Deering, in the success of the institution. Six weeks have passed, said President Stager, and we expected great tilings. A good many of the pupils at former sessions of the summer sciiool here went away dissatislled, anil we weie unable to discover the leason why. lint all tho-e who have been rooming here at tiie Univeisity this season have expiessed their eiitiresatisfactiou. While, ot course, this is not all, it goes a great way. lam happy to know and to state that all who have been here the present session will re turn next year, provided they can attend. I have to thank also tho-e cltiens ot Dur liiigtou who have helped us at '.he right moment. Dually, I believe that it is pos sible to make this sciiool not only a moral but a linaucial success. 1 have lost lltiau clally on account of the hurry and haste incident to starting the school anew, Few pupils have leturned hither on ac count of the natural beauty of Duiiiug tou only about 10 in all. Hut quite a number have come on account ot the teachers and the faculty whom they knew. That is what entourages mo, and encourages me to say that I shall be here another year, ami shall bring a good fac ulty with inc. It I come again next year, however, 1 must bo assured of adequate return in expending so much money. I think that Diirliuglou could have done better, and would have done better if it had been stiried up in the right way. 1 think it would be better if some friend could work here for the faculty, in our absence. I en gaged the best teachers I could llnil, and hope they will all bo back again next year. 1 am satisfied with them,and know they did the best they could to help me not always, perhaps, explaining the method as much as they might ; but I am satislled that they did as theydid. Deforo 1 close I must thank most heartily the pu pils themselves, I'hey have helped us lo I lie success which we have achieved. They have addtensed lo me a most Hatter ing testimonial, to which they have sigu- ed their names, sajing that thevareper lii:il sjitislkil. That I the kind of sue ce-is for a teaci i r.

It is singular how much belter inform ed are Senator Edmunds's newspaper critics in Vermont as to what it was pos sible to do for the oleomargarine bill in tiie senate than were the senators And representatives who were lighting to save the bill from utter shipwreck, and to es tablish a foothold for future legislation. We have quoted Kepresentative Grout on this point. Here is what Senator Warner .Miller of New York says: "While I worked to secure a live cent tax, the rate was not the important feature of the bill. The evil sought to be clued was the prac tice of putting on the market under the guise and in the name of hotter a variety of fraudulent imitations. The machinery devised to prevent this is h tinned fn all its vigor in the bill as it bei ame a law. This is the opinion of the senator to whom our contemporaries delight to impute the honor of seeming the passage ot the bill in the senate. Senator Kdmundsalso con tended for tiie live cent tax, but regarded a live law with a two cent tax and the branding of bogus butter with its true name as better than a dead bill. It might lie added that Mr. lvlmuiids was in lavor of an eHort in open senate to reverse t he two-cent amendment, and to raise the tax to four cents ; but was dis suaded by other friends of the bill, who believed it could be managed better in the conference committee.
