seems to be that sympathy and hasty legisla-
ton will override the thing. We will be con-
soed with the thought, however, that it is
the best side on which to err.
But we would not have particle Of the
enthusiasm in this matter abated till We are
sure the boys are put in condition to be
comfortable. But how as to the future p
The boys don't beg. They get good pay for
their services and would be glad to buy the
necessary articles of clothing, but there is no
supply where they can buy. We hope this
matter can be in some way arranged so that
each regiment can have along with it such
articles as the soldiers need, and which they
can buy if they wish at a fair price. Money
spent for articles of clothing would be better
invested than at the suffers, and we believe
the health of the army would be improved by
such change.

The Vermont Third, Again.

We believe the onl y object We have had in
bringing before our readers the condition of
the Vermont Third regiment, was to awaken
such sympathy for them as would lead the
friends at home TO provide for their i...med-
ate and pressing necessities. We are aware
that the government has taken upon itself
the duty of clothing and feeding all the sol
dlers, but we are also aware that it is utterly
incompetent for the present cmergencv-il
has so advertised itself, and it now. through
l. 5. General Meigcs, asks
tor contributions of soldiers blankets, as they
cannot be manufactured fast enough to sup
Ply the immediate need.
These being the facts, (and we believe no
one now doubts them.) with cold weather al
most upon u.s. what was our manifest dutyo
1t was evidently to serd on what blankets,
feelings and other necessaries we could spare
from our closets and wardrobes. not waiting
to ask whether it was the duty of the gov
eminent to clothe our boys, or even whether
they We're able to buy their own clothes
his was evidently the way the people looked
at this matter, for such a gathering of blank
cts, feelings, gloves, undershirts. drawers.
and other useful and important articles as
has been brought together, boxed up, and
sent on to the soldiers within the past week
or two, would astonish even the donors them
selves II their magnitude was known. Ru,
no one who reads the accounts of the suffer
lngs of our soldiers will believe that these
contributions were made day too soon.
Many OF those who contribute give of their
abundance, and it must be a pleasure to them
to feel that while they are 40 poorer for tL.
gift. some cold and weary soldier is made
comfortable and happy by it. If it was ever
more bleSe to give than to receive. such
must be the case now; for besides going out
from US these soldiers are to work for US.
In addition to the contributions from ndi-
vlduas, the legislature of the state has taken
the matter in hand, ard the prospect now is
that bill will be passed authorizing an agent
to 20 to the seat of war and ascertain and
supply the wants of both the I'd and Sd reg
ments for blankets and extra clothing. So
We have no more fears as to the wants of the

AT THEIR OLD TRICkS.-A correspondent
of the Providence Journal who was in the
llarper's Ferry fight, makes the following
statement of the barbariti"s of the rebels up
on our wounded. Such atrocities as the self
styled chivalry commit would make savage
blush:
Talk about Southern Chivalry,' the sights
OF the battle ground of Yesterday were enough
to made ones blood boil with anger. Two
of our men who were wounded were strip
ped to their shirts and then deliberately muir
dered, one by a bavonet through the heart,
and the other was sabered. There will be no
shots wasted the next time the bows of Bat

How to Get Articles 10 the Soldiers.

We have had numerous inquiries by letter
as TO how articles can be sent to particular
regiments, companies or individuals in our
army; and We take this public wav of an
swering them all: There is no association or
committee at this place that Will take the re-
Sponslblilty of forwarding articles to the Yer
mont Sd or any other regiment. There is an
association here. of which II. {. Newell is
treasurer that will pack and forward all az
ticles sent in. suitable for hospital use, which
are given IN response TO the appeal of the
Sanitary Commi>sion,-sucha articles to be
sent TO the Boston commissioner, DIR S. G..
Howe. who then takes all the responsibility
of forwarding and delivering them at head
quarters at Washington. This Sanitary Com
mission is charitable association. supported
by contributions from the patriotic and hu-
name. who do this labor for our sick and
wounded for the love of it. 1t is worthy the
coun,enance and contributions o: every one.
Persons who wish to send boxes of clothing
direct to particular individuals or companies
can do so through the express companies.
those so sending becoming responsible for
the freight charges, which can usually be pro-
cured at a reduction. We think the bows
who receive such boxes will gladly refund any
money thus expended, if desired

For bad news this week we have to report
the death of Col Edward ID. Baker, the dis
tinguished and eloquent senator from Oregon.
The loss of this prominent and valuable Off
Ger occurred in the advance of Gen Stones
command across the Potomac near Leesburg.
Col Baker was native of Illinois. and had
command of regiment in the Mexican war
where he distinguished himself by his bravery
and many virtues.
They had what they call a brilliant fight
near Frederickstown. Missouri, on Monday
between party of federal troops under Col
Caslin and body of rebels under Col Lowe
and jeff Thompson, in which Col Lowe was
killed. The bad news for our side is the
death of Major Gavit and Capt Wyman. WHO
fell while bravely charging the rebels. The
rebel loss in killed and wounded was much
the largest
Major White in Missouri has surprised the
rebel garrison at Lexington. and has r,taken
that town with the sick and wounded of Null
iigans command, and a good quantity Of
firearms. He did this with force ONLY one
halt as large as that Of the rebels but
being equipped with gumption as well as
guns, he had an easy success.
The Potomac is now virtually under
blockade by rebel batteries which are sta
toned in the woods below Washington. \
few vessels creep up the river under cover of
darkness. but many shippers dare not ven
ture even then. This is something that will
have to be looked to. The immense supplies
for the Potomac army are brought up the
river. and Gen Mcclellan will feel it import
ant that the Potomac river be kept OPEN

headed by their Colonel with the voice and
port of Young lion, and heralded BY all the
martial music which seven drummers and
seven titers could make for the occasion
made quite an imposing appearance. And
when they reached the depot. and while tax

and other family relations of the departing
soldiers, were already there assembled for
the fnal farewell and with tears and Sobs

'iols to the last instant and their touching
demonstrations were only drowned by the
loud and reiterated cheers of the thousand
manly voices of the sympathizing spectators,
as the long array of the deeply freig hted cars
moved slowly away and disappeared in the
distance.

other in the physique Of the men, better pro-
