The Major was a participant in the bloody fight of Gettysburg, and a visit to the battle ground will undoubtedly call up memories of the past, when Lee and his rebel hordes were invading the Keystone State. Ma jor Rounds still cherishes vivid recollections cf that terrible conflict, and unlike one other Vermont Major, he has not yet lost all love for the old flag, which floated triumphantly on that me morable July morning, when so many of Ver mont bravest and best fell fighting in defence of their country and he has no desire to see the glorious ensign of onr country trailing in the dust through the machinations of designing rebels, who are now striving to gain by the ballot, that which they lost by the bayonet.

GeNKVA.Sept. 13 The gentlemen cf the court of arbitration returned to Geneva to-day. They express themselves highly gratified at their reception in Berne and Intcrlachen. The dinner given in their honor by the Swiss government last night was attonded by the president of the Republic, members of the federal council and the entire diplomatic body of Berne. In the speeches exchanged on the occasion there was a marked tone of satisfaction at the happy con elusion of the work of arbitration and tha achievment of a result which the speakers said was nound to have such a powerful influence for good, not only on the two countries more imme diately concerned, but on all civilized nations.

This feeling was more freely and definitely expressed than at the dinner in Geneva on Saturday night, when uncertainty may have stili existed as to the form of the decision, and the unanimity of the court on the main points at issue. It was evident last night that all uncertainty had been dissipated. Contrary to the previous announcement, it has been decided not to throw the doors open to the public at the final sitting of the board to-morrow, with the exceptiou of a few ladies and distinguished gentlemen who have been invited. None but aibitrators, agents, counsel and others entitled to admission at the geheral session will be permitted to enter the council room. Bbussels, Sept.

The play is better put upon the stage in respect to scenery and all the accer-sories than any cse ever produced in Burlington. The acting is in the main exceedingly spirited, and the tableaux effective.

Nest Yobk. Sept. 12 Charles O'Conor, in reply to the suLirees tendering to him the nomination of the Louisville convention, spoke aa follows Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, My views as to the duty of resisting the Baltimore nomination coincide with those which you have expressed. Unless their lines are kept firm and their antagonism, on some real or supposed principle, consistently sustained, political parties can produce no good.

In a country governed by parties, an avowed coalition of elements, before deeply and vitally antagonistical, for the mere purpose of carrying on an election, is not honorable. The participants in it part with their regard for decorum, and it is familiar knowledge that this is the last reliance against dishonest action, after virtue and public spirit are extinct. Undoubtedly, in all things, there are degrees and, in imaginable instances, there may be wide tolcia-tion. Indeed, I am quite prepared to say there are a large number cf eminent men in the republican party, who might have aspired to the presidency and whose acceptance, as candidates at Baltimore, wculd net have been unjustifiable. The nomination which was in fact made is utterly so.

Its folly is manifcrt and its failure inevitable. A public coalition, though it has all the inherent qualities or a conspiracy, has not the same chance of suoorss. The people may be sacrificed by a secret betrayal, they never will consent to an open sale. Ever since the snap judgment against popular sentiment obtained by the deed of Baltimore, arguments, very inapplicable or very unsound, have been used to pre vent resistance. There is said to be no fat choice presented, and that of two aumittei evils, it is wisdom to choose the least.

It all this were true. it khould not result in favor of the Baltimore nominee. Of transcendant ability, and of ener gy unequalled, there is no room for comparison between himself and his rival. The outcry Too late," is not just, evcu now. Men travel by steam and commune by electricity.

If, today a popular sentiment exists, it can be stimulated to action in an hour. Had we only the appliances of antiquity, a national im pulse could light 1(8 fares upon a thousand hills and arouse the whole people. "With our superior modes of communication, let it not be said that fifty days do not albtd an adequate sr3e lor an awakening. In promoting the objects of your convention, there was no commitment to become its nominee, and until that body adjourned, 1 could not have imagined such a result, as the total omission to name or even suggest any other candidate. It is assumed that this action casts upon Mr.

Ad ams and myself the role responsibility of leav ing without power to express itself the antag onism which wc haJ done our part to evoke, and in which we earnestly participate. It is therefore asserted that, without my intervention alf democrats who diisent from the Baltimore coalition, and many patriots, who revolt at its origin orjircad its consequences wiil be left without power to record their protect against it. If such were thefact.it would present a 0 vrc in which the 'citizen wculd have no moral liberty. The path of duty would be plain and direct, leaving him no choice. His country's defrnse would re quire that he ihould astern to conscription, and take the place SJS'gntd him in the national army, whether in the ranks or at the head, and there strive for the right to the utmost.

For reasons, quite different from those likely to be imputed, I cannot to regard the present exigency. Tart of the vile code, advocated by the hirelings of misrule, is that direct and imme diate success is first and paramount in every hu man enort. Oo the contrary, my morality in culcates honoiable and maniy etruggle for the right, however slight the prcspect of immediate advantage to the actors or even to the cause. Neither the personal motives suggested, nor the apprehensions that your caclemplated movement must fail to accomplish any useful results, influence me. The Baltimore nominations ex hibit in their climax, the vices of the nominating system, with its pledges and platforms, shocking to honest pride and sound morals, and the course of bargaining, which is now generally required to precede such nominations.

Ice platform is a thing gotten up for the emergency. On it the candidate is made to sit, as on a stool of repent ance, or as if placed in the stocks, by way cf holding him to the pledges now forced upon him. This pitiful attitude, as the most conspicuous office-beggar in the land, must be occupied by the citizen before he can receive a vote for the highest and most honorable office. Faith teaches that the poor in spirit will receive the richest blessinge of a future life. But it is no part of my political creed, that poverty of spirit in worldly affairs should be a passport to the respect and confidence of a great people, or a qualification for the chief magistracy.

Whatever I might do in respect to any other office, I could neither accept a nomination or become a candidate for a successorship to Washington. Like many others, which my taste and judgment have concurred in adopting, I know that these ideas are unfashionable. Every voice that has reached my ears concurs in asserting, as Gospel truth, that th? electors cannot vote for any one but the nominee of a convention, who has accepted ita nominations. So be it. I do not presume to subvert the established usages; but self-resprct and modrety unite in forbidding to play, in these diys of political degineracy, the part of chief postulant in any such drama.

Some censure will no doubt attach to this opinion itself and still more to the utterance of it. I have long withhill it and if possible I would now avoid expressing it. Many a man the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose has subscribed a platform and stood aa a candidate. Perhaps, however, it was in times lees corrupt. I do nbt suggest or believe that any of them did anything which i 1 their day and under the attendant circumstances was unbecoming.

I know that vou, my fellow citizens, and your highly respected convention have prescribed to me no test but in conformity with a usage not now to bedepartel from. You request mi to accept the nomination and become a candidate As I have said from the beginning, I must say, I cannot. New Yobk, Sept 13 At a republican meet ing in the Tenth ward, Brooklyn, last night, a gang cf roughs assaulted the speakers with stones, eggs and sticks, and tore two large banners costing some 8500 to pieces. Application to the police was refuted. It is stated that the fever and ague is fearfully prevalent in the upper part of the city.

There are many deaths daily. fairs by making them fair and full exhibitions of the products of the County, so that we can compare progress from year to year, see bow we stand, and what we have learned and have to learn, the fairs will degenerate into mere horse trots and the Society will deserve to die. The farmers of the County must remember that in its present location, the Burlington contributions to these exhibitions are ncceeiarily much lessened. The show of fine fabrics, displays of jewelry and silver ware, and the array of beau tiful flowers and fruit from the gardens and hothouses of this city, which have added so much to the attendance ot former furs can hardly be expected now. But the cattle, and horses, and sheep, and farm products of the County can be collected at Essex well as anywhere.

The great number present not lees than five thousand probably on Thursday, showed that the people like to attend these exhibitions. Bat they do net go simply to look at each other. Oa the farmers of Chittenden county depend the suc cess of their Agricultural Society, and they must take bold of it with mere interest and spirit in future years, or it will be a failure. Clerk or the House. The Clerkship is likely to again be the subject of a contest, the applicants being Mr.

Camp of Newport, the present incumbent, and Mr. Newell of Shelburne, the 1st Assistant. Both are well qualified, Mr. Newell having acted as clerk during nearly all Mr. Camp's first term, owing to the latter's illness, and been Assistant Clerk for several years.

Mr. Camp is an editor, Mr. Newell a farmer, and secretary of the Chittenden county agricultural society. The lawyers and editors have monopolized this ofSoe for a good many years' and now that so excellent an opportunity is present- el, the question arises if the farmers in the House will not seek to honor their ciass by the choice cf Mr. Newell.

Manifestly it would be entirely proper, and Mr. could harJly com plain, as be is an advocate of the cne term rule St. Jllbans Mr. Newell was strongly pressed by his friends for the position last year, but withdrew under the implied pledge that Mr. Camp would not again be a candidate for re-election.

Mr. Newell has every capacity for the clerkship, experience, rapidity and courteEy. He is one of the most ac tive young republicans in the State, and we shmhLbe "lad to chronicle his election 1NTELL.1GEXCK BAPTIST. Rev. R.

There are in Minnesota one hundred and sixty Baptist churches, with an aggregate membership of five thousand two hundred and forty-one. A number of these are composed wholly of foreigners. Rev.

Rev. George Rogers, a leading Independent or Congregation al minister of Dorsetshire, boutn ot England, accompanied by a number cf tenant farmers, has recently made a tour of inspection through Aim nesota for the purpose of selecting lands for a colony of 2,000 weil-to-do farmers, possessing a capital of from $2,000 to each, and who are among the most successful agricultu rists in the world. The delegation selected eight townships in Clay county, Minnesota, on the line of the Northern racihe railway. A railroad town, to be named Yeovil (in honor of the dis trict from which many of the colonists came,) has been set apart near the center of their tract. Two hundred families will leave England in Apropos cf agricultural fairs.

Well, Mr Salmon, how did you like your muskmelon Oh, my boiled it and boiled it, but we didu't like it half so as a squash." The Vermont Central Railroad. The enly route between Boston and the grain fields of the West, managed in the interests of this city, is the Northern Line to Oedensbure. Thia is composed of the Lowtil, Concord, Northern, Vermont Central, Vermont and Canada, and Ogdensburg roaas. due ritchburg, Cheshire and Rutland may said to be in the line. The Vermont Central has a lease of the Rutland and also of the Ogdensburgh, but all cf the lower roads are dependent upon the Ogdensburg as the connecting lick in the lice.

Were that to pass cut of the bauds of the Veimont Central. the lower roads would have no redress, and the power of Boston to control Western business would reach only to Albany and St. Albans. It has transpired cf late that the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, a powerful corporation running coal mines in the vicinity of Scran-ton, and operating railroads as well as canals, running a line of railroad from Scranton to Binehamton, thence to Albany and Rutland and Whitehall, carrying coal to Lake Champlain and Northern Iew lork, and iron ore from the Adirondacks to Scranton, is anxious to obtain control of the t)glensbargh road and is ready to execute a more lioersl lease than that now held by the Vermont Central. It needs no argument to show that a transfer cf the road to that company, or to any other organization, would be detrimental to the interests of this city.

It is no secret that advantsge has been taken of the present embarrassment of the Vermont Central in the management cf its floating debt, to force it, if possible, to surrender its lease of the Og densburg. Ihe embarrassment of the Central, it is under stood, is due in part to the fact that the receipts over the Ogdensburg have not been sufficient to pay tne rental; but it is also apparent that the rapid development ot trie business under its present management will soon leave a large surplus in favor of the Central. Such is the aspect of affairs. It is a matter which demands the careful con sideration not only of the managers of the rail roads leading lrom boston to the St. Lawrence, but cf the business men of this city.

We under stand that the bondholders of the Central are to be called together in a few days to take soma ac tion in regard to the floating debt. Wc do not know what plans may be proposed, but we trust that the owners of conncct- roads and the business men of this city will give all needful aid to help the bondholders of the Central out of this embarrass ment. No one who will study the present development of railroads, the growth of the country, the current of the grain trade, the position of Boston and its advantages, can doubt for a moment that if Boston will but retain control of this line to the St. Lawrence it must ultimately become one of the great freight lines of the continent. The possession of the Ogdensburg road ia the key of the position to surrender it would be criminal.

Iwenty-hve years ago we let a great opportunity slip through our fingers; let us not now throw away the only link in the chain by which we have communication under our own control with the grain fields of the West on the one hand and burope ou the ether. Boston Journal. Vebmokt Centeai, The Trustees of the Vermont Central, under permission of the Court, are about to issue a new loan of 2,000,000. The Vermont Central first mortgage bonds and the Vermont and Canada stock take the chances of the new bonds. This new issue affects unfavor ably, therefore, these old securities, though, we think, unnecessarily and only temporarily, But the earnings of the road are so large that t'aere can be no reasonable doubt of its entire ability to meet the payment of its interest.

Besides, the increase of business is so constant and rapid, that not only will the Vermont Central be able to meet the additional expenses incurred by the new leases, but will soon be compelled to double its capacity fcr traffic. The day is not distant when it will be a matter of necessity for Boston to advance the means to complete a double track over the Central to Ogdensburg, If her capitalists are sagacious, they will never allow the Vermont Central to fall into the hands of a certain New York Pool," but will make it permanently tributary to her own growth Montpelier Journal. Mb. Ballard at Malone. N.

The Malone Palladium says Henry Ballard, Esq of Burlington, Veimont, addressed the Grant and Wilson Club Tuesday evening at Lawrence Hall. His speech was able and convincing entirely free from sophomoric flights, from abme of men and all else objection able. He talked squarely on the issues of the hour, arguing that the Democratic party of to day is the same party as ten years ago, and that the election of Horace Greeley would be a complete triumph for it. Rapidly but clearly, he reviewed its history as compared with that of the Republican party, denouncing justly and vigorously its treason and hypocrisy. Hie analysis of the character of the two candidates was to a candid mind must have carried conviction that Horace Greeley is as utterly unfit for the Presidency as Ulysses S.

Grar.t is emi nently qualified tor it. Mr. Ballard is a clear, easy speaker, holding the attention of his audience as well as any we have ever heard. It is just such speaking as he cave us that we need now containing nothing intended to excite, nothing to pervert, nothing to admit of contradiction. Speakinq about Comino Back.

Forty-five names of men claimed to be Republicans were signed to the call of the Greeley ratification meet ing. A dozen or more of these never were Re publicans, and of the remainder eleven have returned to the Republican ranks, and feel better for having got back. Most all will be back before election day. They never had any business to be consorting with Democrats of the copper head persuasion. Ogdensburg Journal.
