ent little while ago, the morning papers
were here, as they have always been in London and
Paris, pre-eminently the nous papers They fur
Dshei their readers their breakfast tables
all the incidents Of the previous day end night.
Evening papers merely repeated the informa-
tiOn, with few additional particulars gathered
in the local city news. Bat since the opening Of
the war il has been different The fir accounts
of nearly every important action and movement
as we said the other day, have been given to the
public of New York by IL evening papers Thus
the reports of the Great Bethel fight; of our sue
cesses In Western Virginia; ST the Bull Run
defeat; of the Hstteras Inlet sfair and most
signal of all, Of the Port Royal victory and Of the
capture of Mason and Slideli-were all received
IN this city too late for the morning papers to
print, but early enough for the evening papers to
give full particulars. To-day we have another
proof in the echoes Of the first guns from Pensacola

We may be allowed to add that the Free
Press receives dispatches regularly, by bosh
the American and Vermont and Boston
lines, up TO o'clock of each day. Its tele
graphic news is consequently as late, and in
most cases as full, is in fact the same as that

MONEY SENT HoME.-WaltOn's Journal says
that Mr.. POLAND has returned from the
army, bringing between $26, 600 and $27 900
from the I'd, Sd, 4th and 9Th Regiments,
which has been distributed among the several
Banks of the State, to be drawn by the fam
lies and friends Of the soldiers
The several Regiments sent. in round num-
bers, as follows: %, S7,0o0; Sd, 7 900 :;
4th, 5000 5th, $4,000. This must not be
regarded as in any manner indicating the
entire amount RENTED by the several regi-
ments, for it is known that whole companies
especially in the p and 4;h-remtted
through officers or individuals who were re-
turning directly 10 their homes.
To show what companies dc, when the
officers take a direct personal interest in the
matter, 1t ought to be remarked that Capt.
Dudley's Company, (E, the 9Th Regiment
sent upwards Of 5 200, and Capt. Benton's
ID, in the same regiment), sent nearly
81, 600; and this when they received but
SIX weeks pay-about SO to q man.
MR. POLAND acknowledges the uniform
and generous kindness and cooperation
which be received from tho officers and
members Of the Regiments.

The PRESIDENTS PosITIoN.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York Zee
ning Post says;
"The Democrats generally profess to be
pleased with the message, and will support it
in and out of Congress. Of course, such
men as valandigham and Ben Wood, who
are opposed to the war, will not favor any
thing coming from Republican President.
The passage in the message which refers
to the slavery question vii. not produce any
division 10 Republican ranks, as the Presl-
dent evidently refers the whole matter G.
Congress tor its careful consideration, In
private conversation the President expresses
himself as undecided upon the question.
He says This is great question, and one
that do not feel competent to settle. Let
Congress consider 1t, not passionately-n
with reference to any former political issues
but seriously and prudently, and thee give
me its advice either in the form OF a resolu-
ton or BILL This is precisely what Con
gress will do, but the question will not be
hastily settled.

a Florida acquaintance, by the way of

thirty-five cents per pound. and in short
pretty much everything else in the same
ratio except perhaps -four. But we don't

our enemies. His position therefore is not
very well defined. Although | am well

CAroHr \ TARrAR.-A correspondent d
the Boston Journal selates the following,
under date of December T. We see
stated elsewhere that the senator was N,
Wilson Of Massachusetts,.
Quite an amusing incident occurred
Willard's yesterday. A Senator came in i
dine with member Of Gen. Mcclellan
Staff. 1t the table where they sat wsn
two unoccupied seats and soon these wsn
filled by two gentlemen in naval uniform
A conversation soon sprung up between ths
two last corners, somewhat in this wise
"Well, a resolution has been introduced ink

that passes am-if ! fight any Longer

gets his abolitionism into the war, shsl
quiet. Why, Don't you think that the
great Senator himself offered me his bal
the other cay, and rejected it with scorn
will have nothing to do with him or AM
of his crew."
By this time the Senator concluded 1
speak. "Sir, said be, 81 am Senator -,
and want the person with you to knOf
that what you have been saying about mes
false-is leland you know it and knes
it to be lie when you uttered it," At .hf
broadside from masked battery the gallsn!
naval officer was staggered. He disclsimsd
all attention OF personality-allowed that the
Senator was not the man whose hand he dis
dained to shake and was disposed to slOH
tie matter to dror-not so his friend. The
lie had been flung in his teeth, and some not
ice must be taken of it. At the conclusion
OF the dinner the officer came up again and
said. "'Sir, the words you have spoken to ne
are very insulting" 81 know it," was the
reply. ii intended they should be Il nesDl
to put the brand of falsehood on your brow
You have used words that no soldier and n

THE VERMONT Army.

Carlton" the army corresponde1s q L.
Boston Journal, says
The Green Mountain State has an array Of
its own across the Potomac. Tners ars hTv-
regiments from that State in one brigade,
commanded by Gen. Brooks, and forming The
second brigade of Gen. Smith's division. !;
is q brigade worth visiting. The officers are
all indefatigable in their efforts 10 make their
regiments as good as any in the service.
There is, at the present time, good deal Of
sickness in the brigade. have not been
able to ascertain the particular cause, but
have heard it attributed either 10 the water
used or to the locality Of the camp. The
regiments have occupied their present locality
since the advance was made, early IN October,
and SO long an occupation of one site ie lisbs-
to induce disease. The Sanitary Cou1mialou
IS endeavoring to obtain all the statistical
information possible relative TO groCsd.
water, shade, shelter from wind, and tbs
habits of the men, as bearing upon the causes
of epidehics. 1t is possible that the cause OF
sickness in this brigade will be found in th.
soil. There are many cases of fevers. There
are not many Deaths. The efficiency Of the
regiment, is somewhat impaired by so much
sickness, but it would make the heart Of
Vermonters swell with pride to ride with NE
through the camp and see the noble bea-ing
of the soldiers. We find genuine New Eng
land hospitality every where. Col. Hyde, Of
the Third, is on the examining board APE
pointed to judge of the qualifications of tbs
officers. He is young, efficient officer. The
captains and lieutenants who have not passed
an examination hold the board in wholesome
reverence. Some young gentlemen resign il

there has been much studying of the army
