CAMr UNDERWOOD, June It'll.
Ma. EDITOR 1t seems to Inc that nothing
in relation TO the &" soger boys can be more
interesting to the readers OF the Freeman than
a brief, (though perhaps imperlect) account of
the way they live in camp, and the spirit in
which they receive their new fare.
The camp is located upon the Playground, ,
north of the village OF Burlington The tents
stretch along the northern side Of the grounds
and are seven deep. Each Company occupies
Two rows Of tents, with space iouror five rods
wide between them, at one end OF which are two
tents for the commissioned officers. The tents
are new and warm, and will accommodate six
soldiers each. Upon the bottoms of them there
is a liberal supply of nice, clean straw
Thanks TO MIR. Piikin, our excellent Quarter
master, the victualing department is so perfect
that the boys hardly miss their . mothers but
terry" All the buildings upon the ground have
been appropriated for the use Of the Regiment.
The two halls, for floral and mechanical exhibit
tons, have been converted into dining rooms,
and another, and smaller building is used as
cook and store-room. Huge arches, and all
other conveniences for cooking on n large scale,
abound in our big Kitchen aud the eatables
that come forth from its precincts, are heartily
reished by the boys.
The dining.halls are fitted up with three tenn
porary tables each, extending the whole length
of the room. Each man, as his company files
in to dinner, finds before him tin plate, knife
and fork, and u pint cup, which morning and
night is filled with excellent coffee, and at
noon with water At distance of every three
or four men is u pepper-box aud salt-celhr, a
nlate of butter and ten quart nan of I" grub
of some kind, The fare, SO far, has consisted
of bread and butter, baked beans, boiled pota-
toes and corned beef, and has been of good
quality and well cooked. The boys stand up
at the tables, and us these are of about the
proper height to sit down to, they are not quite
us handy as higher ones would be-
The boys are well, and in fine spirits. They
are all enthusiastic in their praises o! their RI.

were distributed last evening G &C.

and unconditional justice shall be done them.
If the North with perfect unanimity, will pro-
claim this doctrine, it will do more 10 restore
peace to the Country than an army Of fifty
thousand men. If the people of the North,
South, East or West, have grievances, let them
be redressed but for Heaven s sake let as have
no more compromises, for they have been our
baue.
If a compromise should be proposed, as no
doubt it will be, and the powter-laced Demo-
Gratis and Linsey- WooI8ey Republicans show
the white feather, we shall be divided, the
South encouraged, and we, in the end, be
routed, horse, foot and dragons
Let us agree to require OF these rebels uneon-
ditonal submission first, and redress Of
grievances afterwards No doubt when we
come to inquire as to their grievances, we shall
quarrel, but we can then settle our difficulties
without giving aid and comfort to armed rebels
by our divisions. 5. 5. Brown.

State Convention,

Just now the newspapers of this State are
considerably excited by the call for state Con-
yention from the Republican State Committee.
The Democratic papers generally treat it as a
no-party call, and propose to consider themselves
rs invited to net in tho Convention and as
consequence, we suppose, to be entitled to
portion Of tho Offices.
What the precise object Of the Committee
was in lramngthc cal as they did we are not
advised. II they meant simply that all persons
who substantially agree with Republicans in
National and State policy should be allowed to
have a voice in the Convention, and, by not ma
king distinctive party call, to smooth the way
for them to act with Republicans the call is well
enough But if they meant by it that Republic
canism was to be dropped as garment which
had served its purpose, and was no longer ne
cosslry, we must say very decidedly that the
call is not well enough.
70 our mind there is just as much need of
Republican party to-day as there has been any
time since its organization. The principles oil
the Democracy and the principles of Repub-
leans are as antagonists now as before the war
These principles will not mix. However the
men who hold them may temporarily unite on
any National war policy, the politics of the men
will show themselves at every convenient oppor-
tunity. A Democrat to-day holds the same
views on all matters not connected directly with
the warlthat he did last November lie sup
ports the Government to be sure, but that is his
duty and we cannot think that he needs, or
seeks any reward for this. II he puts price
upon his patriotism. it is pretty sure proof that
the quality is not worth purchasing. And
while we rejoice to see such mon Gen. Butler
pat in places in which they are making for
themselves national and enduring fame, we
can but deprecate any movement looking like
making the politics of such men the policy of
the country. We hope no evil will result from
the apparent putting aside of Repubhcanism in
the call for the State Convention 10 be holden
here on the Goth inst We have no fears that
the fundamental ideas upon which Republican
ism is based can be in any way over-ridden In
Vermont, but we are seriously apprehcnsive
that grave difficulties will arise out of this at
tempt to NIX parties in this State.

PROTECTING PRoPER1Y IN THE Seeded STATES
1t is the intention of Government to protect
all private property in the seeded States, and
that orders have been issued to the army 10 COM
nit no tresspass. Some of the soldiers having
made free with the vegetables of farmer near
Alexandria, the Colonel ordered u special guard
to protect it, and the farmer was told to defend
his property by shooting the first tresspasser.
The men were at tho same time warned of
the danger they would incur, and the effect
has been to secure complete immunity from
depreciation.

Second Regiment.

We learn from the Burlington Times that the
inspection Of the Second Vermont Regiment com
menced on Saturday. The Bennington and
Brattleboro companies only were inspected that
day. The inspection will be continued to-day.
Two of the VERMONT GUARD, Geo. Patrick
and Eleazer Renslow, both Of Hinesburgh, re-
fused to serve any longer. They were immedi.
ately drummed out of the Regiment, amid the
scorn and contempt of their comrades.
DIR. n. II. Ballou, of Burlington, is to be
Surgeon, and B, W, Carpenter, of Burlington,
Assistant Surgeon Of the Regiment.
Capt. Todd, of the Brattleboro' Company
was officer of the day, Sunday. At halfpost
FIVE, Sunday afternoon, the Regiment had reli-
gious services conducted on the ground, by Rev.
b. W. Smith, with very able discourse from
Pres. Pease, from the text
- In tho name of God we will set up our
banners .-Psalms Xxx 5.
- Stand, therefore. "-Eph, vi IA.
From the abstract Of tho DISCOURSE which
wc find in the Times, we judge it to have been
a thoroughly patriotic and hopeful sermon,
giving such counsel and encouragement to those
who are upholding the cause of Government
and Liberty as should ever come from the pull
pit, s,rengthng and defending the right, and
denouncing and eondemning the wrong. We
trust the discourse will be printed entire.
