Last Saturday evening Gov. Fairbanks
received a despatch from the War Depart
mcnt, ordering the 4th and 5th regiments
forward to Washington without moment S
delay. The Governor Immediately issued
orders to the Commanders of these regiments
to leave forthwith, believing that although
not fully uniformed and equipped, they
would be made comfortable on their passage.
On Sunday afternoon a second despatch
was received from the War Department, In
sisting upon the regiments leaving at once,
and giving assurance that all necessary ar
ticles of outfit and equipment would be fur
niShed them upon their arrival at Washing
ton. The officers of the regiments strongly
objected to leaving the State until they were
fully equipped, asserting that by such
move the regiments would be disorganized
and demoralized beyond recovery.
1t Is expected these troops will leave here
to-day, friday fer Washington, being
fully armed and equipped. These regiments
are both filled to the maximum, and the
men are intelligent, hardy and fearless, and
will do honor to their Green Mountain

following correspondence:
NIB. HOLT go THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON, Sept. u, lsCl.
Dear Sir. The late act Of Congress providing
for the condition Of thc estates Of persons in open
rclclioa against the government was as a neces-
sary war measure, accepted and fully approved by
the loyal men Of the country 1t limited the pen
atty Of c0nfsc1tiou 20 property actually employed
ia the rebellion with the knowledge and consent
Of its owners, and instead Of e,2aucIpatng slaves
thus employed, left their status to be determined
by the courts OF tac United states or by subsc-
queut legislation. The proclamation, however,
of General Fremont under date of the 30th Of
August, trauscends and OF course violates the law
il q ta these particulars, and declares that the
property Of rebels whether used in support Of the
rebellion or not, shall be coufscated, and i! con-
sisting in slaves that they shall be at once manu-
mittod.
The act Of Congress referred to WIS believed to
cmbody the conservative policy oi your admins

tion, and hence the loyal men Of the border slave
States have felt relieved Of all fears of any at

for freedom, and whose presence could not tail TO

terror to the homes and families Of all. on may,
therefore, we'll Judge Of the alarm and condemna-
tion with which the Unon-loying citizens Of Ken
tucky the State with whose popular sentiment
am best acquainted, have read this proclamation
The hope is earnestly INDUCED by them, as it is
by myself that this paper was issued under the
pressure Of a military necessity which General Frc-
mont believed justified this step, but that in the
particulars specified it has not your appreciation,

The magnitude OF the interest at stake and my
extreme desire that by no misapprehenson Of
your sentiments or purposes shall the power and
fcrror If the loyalty Of Kentucky be at this
moment abated or chilled, must be my apology
for the trankncss with which I have addressed

anxious to take part in the conflict for the
defence and preservation of the Union. The

Mr. EDuoE The second obstacle to be noticed
in tine way Of the sugar making enterprise at Wal

cation. It has been said that only one good crop of
cane can be raised from one planting; all that follow
are yOJr and short.

the land becomes poorer. for just the opposite is
s~trikingly the result Of judiciOus irrigation, the water
always carrying fertilizing substances in solution into
the soil. and, as it dries away, isGTiEg them there.
But here seems to be the officially; all lands requir-
ing irrigation lie low, or near the sea. in which situa-

But as the crop must be cut soon after tasseling-
