. All day long, before theiront, ..
They had borne the skirmish brunt—
Swifl; advance and sudden rally,
Through the Shenandoah Valley.
But, at last,the blessed calm ‘ -
0f the evening fell, like balm,
And they rested in the van, on
Lines of rifles, swords, and cannon.
With their bridles in their clasp,
And their ushers in their grasp,
Kept they thus each greenwood alley,
In the Shenandoah Volley.
When, at once upon the breeze,
From the woodlandsand the less,
All along the dusky thickets,
Rose a yell from Rebel pickets.
Then, with bridles tightly clasped,
And with sabres firmly grasped,
Waited they, with hearts enlarging,
For the wild delight of charging.
And they listened, while that yell
Rang from Rebel glade and dell;
But no bugle sounded sally,
Through the ShenandoahValley.
So they marveled, all that night,
Till they learned, at morning light,
How those Rebel acclamations
Hailed “ Chicago Nominations 1"

Not for bounteous crops or season—
But for strength through Yankee treason.

Autumn in Vermont.
, , LuoLow, Va,
_ Sept. 28. 1864. l '
Those summer birds, known in country,
villages as “ visitors from the city,”
make a serious mistake in flying away» . to
their red-brick and brown stone houses
at the first chill breath of Fall. For if
since not in the half year from. spring to
winter will they find so many? days radi-
ent with beauty,land inspirlugs glowing
vigor of frume'by their'breezes, as are
'to. be found in an autumn Season in
Northern New England. Skies unstain-
ed by .a- single cloud lift-above one, 'day-
after day, 14thelr depths of intense blue;
sunshine—warm and grateful—pours its
radios to over meadows and hillsides which
are as green as June verdure; while late
fruits arid the products of the farmers
summer toil stand waiting in abundance
for the hand that shall gather them.”
Perhaps a general description of this
mountain town would interest some.
Just where the Black River bends luv-its
course from a southerly to an easterly
direction lies the village of Ludlow, occu-
pying a portion of a beautiful valley
through which the river winds, and built
on both sides of the stream. Graceful
and thrifty trees ornament the various
streets . On all sides hills rising into
majestic mountains; shut in the spot like
protecting walls, save where, here and
there, look-out openings give view of theg
distant blue crest of Ascutney. Around:
I the base of Center Mountain the Rntland
and Burlington R. R. takes its course on
an. unusually heavy grade, and all the
way to Summit bold and extensive views
Open to the traveler. From Ludlow
Station one can see for miles up and
down the valley and overlook nearly the
whole village as it is spread out at oue’s
feet. Locking toward the further base
of the mountain across the intervening?
valley, you can see the vapor from the
steam whistle of the engine as it comes-
aronnd. the curve, quite a number ,0
seconds before you hear the shrill signal. '
Following the river along its winding
and picturesqe route, you reach, five
miles away, the Falls which have been
referred to in a previous communication,
and fifteen miles more bring you to the
beautiful town of Springfield, Vt, where
the Black River turns the - wheels :of
large mauufactories, and gives itself up:
to the embraces of the stately Conan
cut. Ascending the River from Ludlow
you reach the Plymouth Ponds, beautiful
sheets. of water, nestled amongst wooded
mountains. In a fine grove by the edge
of one of these Lakes the Sunday School
~of the Congregational Church held a
picnic a fortnight ago, and such our-'-
ronndings, added to a brilliant sky, a
band of music, and the generous manage-
ment of Mr. G: S.'Redfield, the Super-
intendent, rendered the pleasure of
youug‘aud old a matter of course. i i ‘
The religious wants of Ludlow are
previded for by three Societies. Still,
like many other places, while there is
little teem for more sects, there is plenty
of room for more religion. The necessities
of education are met by the Black River
Academy, an institution of long standing
which afiords good preparatory training
to about a hundred young gentlemen and
ladies. The building is commodions, and
handsomely situated on an eminence, and
is quite well furnished with Scientific
apparatus.
The institution of Ludlow, however,
are the Woolen Mills, which give employ-
ment to a large number of persons, and
are operated on a heavy capital. Broad
elosth and doe skin are manufactured of
a quality and style not excelled elsewhere
in America. W. and G. Harding of
Boston, G. Snowden Redfield, and Pel-
ton at Ludlow compose the new firm on-
gsged in the business. Mr. Pelton is an
experienced manufacturer and a popular
‘citizen. Mr. Redfield was lately attached
to the Navy, in which gallant service be
rendered himself one of its most efiicient
ofiicsrs. With a versatility of talent
quite unnatural he has taken hold of the
work of manufacturing, and already gives
evidence of skill and ingenuity in con-
ducting and improving the operations of
so large a Company.
This section of Vermont is not behind
the rest of the State in political enlight-
enment. Only twenty four Copperheads
showed themselves at the late electiOn
out of a population of nearly 2000. Men
and horses are the chief things raised in
this rugged country. How good the
horses are the French Emperor knows
who has a span in his stables purchased
here at a cost of $10,000.
Here then not less than by the sea-side
are to be found the conditions of a pleas-
ant and useful life. Amidst natural cres-
tions so full of grandeur, one can gain
the highest discipline for the thoughts
and the heart. It inspires with feelings
little short of enthusiasm to go out in the

* * *' * This subject,thus illus-
trated, I Would'consid'or in 1 reference to
Our own natiOn in its present sublime,
exhalted, sud triumphant struggle :
' ‘-' I. There is a gate which Opens to us
the animated prospect of victoryaud peace
One single wayof divine permission through
which we may pass to security and quiet-
ness beyond. Across every other path
a fence of impassable restriction has been
stretched by the hand. 'of God. Over
that fence- we may not safely break, and
through it we in vain shall try to force
our passage. The attractive and all eom-
penretiug prospect which lies '. "beyond
ernment and in the integrity of its terri
tory, the establishment of a people uni-
ted, homogeneous, and free, the renewing
peace and the prosperous achievements
of honored and protected labor, the inau-
guration of a nation whose love ofliberty
and order has been tested by the sacri-
fices which it has freely made for their
preservation and defence, and whose pa—
cific and liberating influence, thus tested
and displayed, will be felt through all
the earth. Beyond that gate there
dwells a generation in coming time whose
glory'will not be in violent rebellion
against just authority, and whose delight.
will not he in war ; to whom Oppression
of the poor will not be the joy of their
heart, nor unholy gain, thong great the
beast of their attainment. The peaceful
and prosperous arts of human civilization
are there. The cultivation‘of'a centiuent
at rest is there. The gathering of a vast,
industrious, and thriving people is there.
Education, social justice, true religion,
human happiness are there. Such a so-_
cial and-public state as earth saw never,.
and heaven stoops down to see. There ’
man will be honored for himself, ' and all
the gains ofva' righteous toil for man be
laid open in the path of all. And neith-
er caste nor colOr, neither national deri?
vation nor low extraction, neither pover-
ty in birth, nor ignorance in a forced and
laboring youth, shall stretch its fence
across the” path to respectability, ac—
knowledgment, and honor of any citizen
of the favored land. That rail-splitters
and tailors rise to eminence ; that poor
and wandering boys from an orphan-house
soar up to high ofiices, usefulness, and
renown; that the children of men un—
known Moor" and occupy the rich places
of the earth, shall startle no human pride
as a monstrous anomaly, nor arouse the
derision and seem of the degraded and
envious, as a dishonor to the people
whose history these marks distinguish.—
There the hateful oppressious and oligar-
chies of an old world will have died out,
buried in a bloody grave ; and the whole
land, like the postdiluvisu virgin of earth,
will emerge from its apparent and avowed
destruction, only in a sweater beauty, for
a more hepeful youth and a grander des-
tiny thsn it had ever before imagined, or
than any nation has seen on earth be—
sides.
This, to me, is no dream of fancy, but
the language of predictive fact. Thus I
see the view extending and established
beyond that gets at which we stand,
worth everything it has cost, hiding in
its accumulating blessings the remem-
brance of its price but as the call for
gratitude; pouringa radiance of honor
around the men, who, in the various por-
tions of the transforming administration
which has carried the nation through the
storm to its peaceful result, have patient-
ing everlasting disgrace upon the memory
of those who have opposed, reviled, dis-
turbed, undermined and tried in every
way to defeat and destroy the chosen,
faithful, unrelexiug servants of God, and
friends of man in this reforming genera-
tion. The mouied cost of all this gain a
few years of peaceful labor will obliterate
for ever, and will become an investment
of lucelculsble" wealth thereafter. Its
cost in life will be memorial of honor, a
record of renown, which will fill the land
with applauding" monuments, the natiOu’s
heart with abiding thankfulness, and the
page of history with an undying record of
human greatness and glory.
This is the view I see extended there.
No other view have I seen than this in
the nation’s prospect, from the beginning
of :this exalted contest for its very life;
and’tberefore never have I flinched from
all that I could do, in word and influence,
to sustain thisglorious struggle in its l

darkest hour, and from the very com-
mencement of its warfare for human
hopes.
2. But this gets to peaceful issues still
stands closed. Still the. unbroken fence
of repelling providence forbids our path.
Three years of hopeful but anxious war
have passed away. Immense tracts of
territoryhave been recovered from the
grasp of treason. Vast areas of freed
population have been rescued from the
oppressor’s yoke, and whether white or
black, have been welcomed. under the
parental guardianship of the nation and
government from which traitors would
have violently forced them. Every con-
ceivable impediment to the success of a
”righteous cause has been heaped, by hos-
tile and treasonable men, in the path of
the administration, which has thus repre-
sented thmation’s majesty and the au-
thority Of the people. The unprepared
condition of long peaceful confidence he-
gun the history. The secret preparation
of a previous traitorous administration
followed this. The gradual, silent, but
effective planning and maturing of a re-
bellion—so'uureasonable' that it was‘not
suspected, so unprovoked that it was
deemed impossible, so thieving, arbitrary,
poisonous, and cruel, that men doubted
whether their fellow-men could ever per-
petrate it—continued the scheme. The
long planned provisions for its final de-
sign, iu the plundering» of the public
treasury and removing of the nation’s
arms and means of defence, furnished the
ability. The arousing of foreign delight,
and the arousing of foreign scorn and ha-
tred so natural against republican difii-
culties and over a free people’s sorrows,
encouraged the wicked design. The un-
limited ioreign countenance given =to re-
bellion and the faithless agents and com-
manders Often arrayed against its assaults
at home, and vainly trusted by a nation
whom they have professed to serve, uni.
ted in this cheerful aid. All these difii-
culties, far more than I have time to
mention, have been accumulated, sur-
mounted, passed over and defeated in this
glorious struggle. A patriotism, which
has refused no demand for force or wealth'
or wisdom, which has shrunk from no
expenditure or suffering, though always
reviled and unceasingly taunted and
abused, has been constantly called forth,
and have as constantly responded. Glo«
rious has been the exhibition of the na-
tion in the elevation of the general pub-
lic sentiment, in the outpouring of means
of defence,iu the calm and lenient wisdom
of the Executive, in the invincible tenacity
of the armies and navy, both in the per--
,sons of leaders of the highest honor and
skill, and in the intelligent determination
of a soldiery, whom traitors at home and
foreign agents of Oppression have vainly
afi‘ected to despise. Upon the past three
yearsI lock with daily wonder at what
has been achieved ; and whatever trea-
son may start forth,whutever faction may
arise and under whatever names of par-
ties or persons, hostility and abuse may
come abroad, no man shall silence me
from declaring that my highest confidence '
has been, and is still, given to the faithful
administration under which our nation is
moving on to its hour of victory, and to
which, to my mind, its highest welfare
and honor have been most safely and sat-
isfactorially entrusted.
It shall never be a part of my cou-
sciousness, nor of the record against me,
that I have united, consorted with, or
excused the agents, instruments, or her-
alds of hostilities or vituperation against
a government of my country, carrying
such a load, enduring such a responsibili-
ty, and so honestly and efi'ectively main-
taining the honor, and protecting the life
Of the nation,iu this severest trial through
which any people was ever called to pass.
From my soul I honor and trust the ex-
alted man who, in the Divine prevldeuce,
stands at the head of our administration
as preeminentlywise, disinterested, honest,
and faithful ; and no men, no paper, nor
parties shall delude me into the feelings
of distrust, or provoke me to an act of
desertiou, or draw from me, or persuade
me to listen to, the language of reproach
and detraction. * * * *
“ The first of these great principles is
the divine character of human govern-
ment, and the excessive crime of man’s
rebellion against it. This is the first
nation on earth, in the great array of
modern civilization, in which a govern-
ment maintained by the nation, subject
only to the will of God, has been estab-
lished Everywhere beside, the govern-
ment of men is a family dynasty—the
tyranny of the exalted and self-maintain'
ing few over the many. Men are rulers
by an arbitrary claim of divine right in
some family inheritance, and all other
men are subjects to this one self-exalted
line. The'theory may be more or less
limited by dclusive constitutional conces-
sions from the governing power, or made
more or less individually effective by the
imperial assumptions of the particular
rulers. But it is the same false theory—
the asserted claim of a conquering few to
the right to rule the residue of men, as
subjects to their will. Rebellion against
such assumption of authority may he
