Sixty odd days ago sat on the shores of

and watching the flight of bombs. as the az
tillery of the SarGinans practiccG on tar

ing the bursting of the SHELLS III the battery
of the rebels at Sewal!'s Point, three and a
half miles away. There is no compromise a
bout this article, and if you had seen how
quietly Gen Butler caused one man on The
opposite shore, three miles away. to take the
oath of allegiance, it would have delighted
YOU or any other good Union man. Mr.
Sawyer the general said in his slow, quiet
way, there is a man in the house over there,
flying secession flag; can't he be made 10

Yankee mechanic, and as We slowly watched

Protection to Union Men.

We are glad to know that it is to be the
policy of the administration to throw bodies
Of troops, large enough to meet any necessity,
into such parts of the seeded states as show
disposition Of loyalty to the Union and the
Constitution. Western Virginia has been
already occupied and the federal troops are
received with open arms and every demon
stration of JOY on the part of the people, who
regard them as their deliverers from reign
Of terror, such as has hardly parallel in the
annals of civilized nations Eastern Tennes-
see is undoubtedly equally as loyal as Wes-
tern Virginia, and it is the constitutional du-
! ty of the president, and duty which will be
cheerfuly performed, to protect the people of
that portion of Tennessee from the attacks of
the secessonists, whose object is not only to
destroy the Union, but to make "a republican
form of government mere sham, or an ut
ter impossibility.
We hope therefore to see columns of Fed
eral troops soon penetrating southwark into
East Tennessee. Such an army would meet
with few distractions, and little, if any op-
position. 1t would meet more friends than
enemies. The climate is salubrious and
healthy, and there is no need on that account
of waiting until autumn. The climate is ev-
en- better in that region than at Washington.
Moreover, in a strategical point of view the
occupation of East Tennessee is of incalcula-
be Importance, since our troops would COM
mand the only direct railroad communication
between the rebel army in Virginia and the
heart Of the seeded states The enemy
would thus find itself outhanked with It's
main avenue of retreat cut Off
Senator Johnson, the gallant defender of
the Union, who resides in East Tennessee, is
now in Washington, and has called upon the
administration for protection to his section
OF the state, and We 90 not doubt that an i'm
portant movement will soon be made in that
direction.

What is Said of Our Regiment.

Mr. John Earle of Boston, or several wears
al army tailor, was here day or two ago
and measured the officers Of the several COM
panies at Camp Baxter, for their uniforms,
which he has been employed to make. We
are informed that after performing the work
O. taking the measures, he remarked in con-
versatIon with the governor. in regard to the
SIZE Of the men, that he had made uniforms
.or many officers and troops in Massachu
sets, Maine, New Hampshire, and other
parts Of New England, but. said he al neve.
put the tape oH 10 such set Of men as hay,
this afternoon. They really as.onish me-
And the average size and weight of the rank
and file is as remarkable as that of the Off
GERS. OF the several companies, the Essex
county company, Capt Nelson, is probably
entitled to the first pacc IN respect to weight
and size. We are told that seven of them
happened by chance to be weighed yesterday,
and they averaged over one hundred and
ninety pon.ds. \ bavonet will be a terrible
weapon in the hands of such men when they
become skilled in its use. They might toss
a secessionst with it over small meeting
house without much effort.

Thanks.
The regimental and commissioned officers
at Camp Baxter have requested US to return
their thanks to the ladies of St. Johnsbury
for profusion of beautiful boquets present
ed to them at their quarters yesterday. The
fragrant captives from garden and bower
were the more welcome from the fact that
roses are seldom dropped in the pathway of
the soldier.
Hospital.
A hospital building has been erected at
Camp Baxter, under the direction of Surgeon
James, and is now ready for the reception of
patients. 1t is admirably arranged, and has
been greatly needed.
Deserters.
4 few desertions have occurred within the
past two or three days. Up to the present
time, two of the deserters have been captured
and brought back to the camp. There is
reason to appre,end that some Of these cases
have occurred through the persuasions Of
friends or relatives of the soldiers. None
but white-livered sneaks would think of de-
serting unless powerfully persuaded to do So
nor even then unless in a moment of thought
