LAFAYETTE LAMAR 3d 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th Editorial Correspondence. East Pocltney, Vt., Aug. 20,1860. Although by an intercourse with the people of the “Green Mountain State,” a conservative man, particularly t Southerner, is almost constantly pain fully reminded of their fanaticism, yet the unsurpassed beauty of the Moun tarn Scenery, the numerous crystal streams and silvery lakes, will so en chant the lover of Nature’s charms that he is almost compelled to enjoy a visit to this “Switzerland of America.” The best way to view the peculiar beauties of these miniature Alps is to cross the State East and West and in a private conveyance. By this means one can learn how completely beautiful is the soenery and eqjoy an almost con tinuous succession of enchanting views of rich and varied beauty. The moun tains are not so very high but they are very steep, and are only separated by narrow valleys with dancing streams of clear sparkling water. If one has a utilitarian turn of mind he may be pleased with the peculiar neatness of the little farms and the very rigid economy that is every where and in every thing exhibited. In the Northern part of the State the farms are nearly all of the same diminutive proportions, 160 acres each, and only one third or one half of this cleared.— Of the open land about one half will be pasture,—one fourth grass fields for hay, and the other fourth cultivated in com, oats, rye, wheat, buck wheat and irish potatoes. The latter crop howev er is the largest. One is astonished at the very smallness of all the cultivated paiehea. In a day’s ride I do not re member to have seen more than two fields of com containing so much as two acres eaoh. On one of these little farms you will generally see an acre or two of corn, two or three acres of oats, one and a half acres of irish potatoes, one or two acres of rye, an acre of 1 wheat or buck-wheat and perhaps half an acre of barley. One reason that the fields, or rather paiehea, are so very small is that the hills are so thick that they can only get so muoh arable land in one place and hence on some farms you may see two or three patches of oats or some other grain, each containing an acre or two. It is really hard to under stand how the farmers live in this State, yet, strange to say, they seem thrifty— of course in a very small way—and quite os happy as any people I have ever seen. The principle articles of export Ib beef and the products of the dairy. The crops in this section are all con sidered to be very good except hay j this latter is cut abort always with scythes, but this year there is not half a crop, because of the drouth. The forest trees in the Northern part of the State in the order of their abundance are spruce* hemlock, maple, beeoh, birch, ash, elm, pine and baUam, or fir; no oak or hickory. So far as politics are concerned, it is by far more pleasant to leave Vermont out of the oount entirely. It is proba ble that Linoolnwill carry the State by a majority of perhaps thousands over all the other candidates. And yet I have seen quite a number of Breckin ridge men—all office-holders or expect ants—a few Douglas men and about many for Bell. There are already three foil tickets in this State and a Bell tioket will be put out next vi eek. The three minority parties are all small but spunky, and most of their members say that if T.inn/dn should be elected, then they will all unite in one determined, conservative.party and will do their ut most to build up adonstitutional Union party of sufficient strength to entirely extirpate aU Black Republicanism.— This will be a great undertaking yet it will doubtless have to be accomplished or this Union be dissolved. ‘ The better and perhaps greater class of Black Republicans toy, that they, as a party, only desire to exclude slavery from the Territories and they believe that Congress has the Constitutional power to do this. They .will admit that this would not place the interests of the South upon an equality with those of the North, but they keem to think that the encroachment, like the girl’s baby, is only a small one, tad consequently ought not to be regarded as a great offence. It matters but little, however, what aoma may aay or that many may mean well, the great foot stares- the whole country in the face that: tv to slavery is the grand idea of this “one Idea" party, and they will doubtless endeavor in all possible ways to realize their object which is the utter destruo. tion of the institution. They are de termined to “go the whole hog” but policy dictates that they should take it piece meal. But yet if the Black Republicans do their worst, and Lincoln should be elected, there is great reason to hope that all the conservative men of the North, who, by being in different par ties, hitherto have been warring upon each other, wouli, by uniting, and arraying themselves in one solid pha* lanx, easily overcome these hords of fanatics. One great reason and perhaps the grand one why the Black Republi can party lias become so suddenly and fearfully large, is that it has had no rival in the contest—both the old par ties being content to kill off each other. In Now York State the Union of the Douglas and ■ Bell men seems to be en tirely satisfactory to both parties and it is generally believed that the moss of the Breckinridge men will unite with them whether a few of the prominent leaders do or not. If this party does come into the combination that will se cure the State and save the country from the disgrace of a Black Republi can President. One of the most effective arguments here used by the Lincolnites, is, that their party is the only one that can beat the Buchanan Democracy, which, on account of its extravagance and corrup-l tion, is particularly and almost univer-j sally odious. The recent elections ii Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabann and Missouri, conclusively prove that Bell and Everett will carry the South and this fact takes from the Repub licans one of their most potent wea pons. The skies are everywhere brightening Let the friends of Bell and Everett in Georgia work with confident earnest ness and enthusiasm. Our glorious State ought, and may be carried by a clear majority for “the Constitution, the Union and the enforcement of the Laws.” M. D. It is said that when Mr. Douglas was |at Rutland, Vt.. and just as he was en- Itering'the hotel, a large Irish wash wo I man rushed up and grabbed him in her | arms, and kissed him. There is a rtfmor that Gov. Banks is I soon to assume the Presidency of one I of the Western railroads, with a salary of $7000 a year, and that his future resi- | dence will be in Chisago. A Correspondent of the Tribune who pro- I fosses to have the best opportunities of ] knowingjwhat William B. Astor is actual I ly worth, states that the property can- I not fall a dollar short of $40,000,000, land that, its aqnual increase is about | ?3,000,000. Gen. Ge6. Eickley has ordered a large Iquantity of arms of a manufacturer in I Massachusetts. They are to be deliver- led at Matamoros,Texas, by October-lst, 11860. He promises to pay for them | in cash at that time and place. Mr. Fowler, ex-Postmoster at New I York, was down with the yellow fever | at Havana at last accounts. JudgeGriffin, of Washington county, I Miss., is Baid to be the largest cotton planter in the South. His crop is I about 8000 bales. The wool clip of Ohio will amount to 16,000,000 pounds, and distribute among | the farmers about $4,000,000. In Carroll county, Ark., a few days ago, a hawk tore out the eyes of a boy, who had captured it in the act of carry ing offa chicken. An organ has been constructed at Vionna for the Sultan, which is the great wonder of the day. It cost 14,- 00011., and is a complote orchestra of fif ty musicians, equal to the same in pow er and expression. There' is a great rush to seo it Georgia State Stocks.—Fivo hun dred shares of Georgia State Sixes wero sold at the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday last, for $103 per shure. The Illinois Central Italroad is fur nished with 17 miles of cars, with the usual proportion of freight cars, hut the grain crops of the State are so enor mous the road is incapable of doing the transportation required of it. Japanese Tommy expects to return to this country und study English and Navigation. SSyMiss Dix says that ten years ngo she estimated the proper subjects for lunutio asylums os one in one thousand of our population. Now she estimates them as one to four hundred and nine ty. Fallen Greatness.—Soulouque, the Ex-Emperor of llayti, lives in the ' city of Kingston, Jumaica, in mean and wretched poverty, spending most of his time in gambling with a few low Hay- tien renegades. BQyThe Detroit Tribune says that it if understood Gen Cass is unreserved in the expression of his preference for Breckinridge. To the Merchants • OF TIIE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST.

Gilmer, of Georgia, in which his policy and motives with regard to Abo lition petitions were fully declared. The following passage, which we quote from that letter, ought to satisfy everybody, except those who are determined bo- forehand not to bo satisfied with any thing: “My opinion was, that whether the petitioners had ri{*ht on their side or not, soundjpolioy dictated the reception and reference of their petitions. I be lieved that any unusual course in regard to them would give undue importance to tho movement of the abolitionists, furnish new ground for agitation, and rather increase the existing excitement than allay it. In my opinion, a report from a committee at each session—tem perate, yet firm and unqualified in its conclusions—would have been well cai- sulated to correct false impressions at tne North; to dispel prejudice, and pre vent that ferment and angry feeling at the South whioli, at that stage of the question, was calculated to do mischief. Wherefore right or wrong, and without pretending to census those friends who differed with mo. I have uniformly held these opinions; yet 1 will add that few gentlemen in the South would be more prepared for prompt and decieive mean- urea qf reaialanee and protection, should the rights and. interests of the South connected with this sulyect ever be invaded through Con- grata or otheawiae, than myaelf." o fellows fought a duel ... Courtland,.Ala., a few weeks ago, and shot each other through the head.— Verdict of the Jury—died because they were darned foola. |®“A partisan paper says it is a mis take to say that the Democratic party plays upon a harp of a thousand strings. The organ of that party is a lyre. J5®“Ar to the result of the union al- Iready consumated, the Herald makes the |following prediction: The Vote of New York.—We have (said that Now York would elect the ■Union anti-Lincoln electoral ticket by Int least fifty thousand majority, and we ■thought we were within the bounds of (reason in 4 so saying; but we Lave now Ito correct our estimate. We did not Iknow, when we made it, that the black ■ Republican leaders, wirepullers, and ■managers were going to expose the cor ruption and rascality of each other to I the public, and not only call each othor I thieves but provo it and rub it in, as [they aro now doing. Set down New York es good for one hundred thousand majority now for tho Union electoral | ticket. HSf A girl in Boston was married to a darkey lately. They both took the Underground Railroad and eloped.— The father of the girl—who was a rank Abolition Republican and a man of property, is after the runaways, swear ing that he will shoot them if he catch es them. The girl lias undoubtedly been taught that a negro is better than a white man, and she probably thought it best to experiment, and see if sucli was the case. The father ought not to have preached the doctrines of Aboli tionism, if lie did not believe in having them carried out. Squatter Sovereignty and Mr. Bell. Hon. John Bell voted for the only clause in the Kansas bill that its ene mies say contains squatter Sovere _ It was about the power of the people of the Territory to regulato their own affairs. It was offered by Mr. Douglas. At the same time Mr. Bell voted against tho bill aa a whole. Tho record provos this.—limes. This clause, for which Mr. Bell voted went further. It is the clause that re pealed the Miaaouri Compromise. Yet with in a week from this day, the Timea will again be charging that John Bell was opposed to the repeal of the Missouri Compromise 1 The truth is, as Mr. Bell himself de clared during the pendonoy of the bill, he voted for all amendments designed to make it as good a bill for tho South as ho could get. Ho did not intend to pass it by his vote, but hostrove to make it as acceptable as possible to his South ern friends. Its sauatter sovereignty he protested against, but he could not have the section just as he wanted it.—-Colum- bua Enquirer. ^©“Whatever we may think of wo man’s right td vote and legislate, there can be no disputing her right to bara arms : and the prettier tho better and more irresistible. This is a right de- | scendcd from old Mother Eve, New Despair.—Tho Cincinnati Preaa mentions the cose ot a lady of that city over fifty-seven years of ago, married at twenty-six, herself and husband enjoy ing uninterrupted health for the whole time, but unblessed with issue until last week, when the gray-haired mother was safely delivered of a healthy and and behind which he respectfully kiss- sprightly pair of twins.
