From Camp Butler.

The following is an extract of letter

at is generally believed that there will
be battle at Norfolk or Richmond, as
the rebels are concentrating there. 1t will
be hard fight and it will settle the ques-
ton at once. l do hope it will come off
soon, for l want to see the question set
tied, so that l can come home. You know
| do not want to come before. | had a
feast on ripe apples yesterday, which was
brought me by an old negro. He came
up to the guard and said he always treat
ed the sentinels,' and told me to help N.Y.
self which | did. There are several blacks
that bring us such Injuries every morning.
Large fields of as nice wheat as ever saw,
are going to waste. Cattle and horses are
allowed to run at large, and the citizens
have left for parts unknown. | went out
with scout last week. and for three miles
around we did not see a white person.
The slaves have all the chance in the
/
world to runaway, which many Of them
do. / imagine how it would seem to have
a party of scouts march through your
peaceful neighborhood, all over every
house, and into every room, paving every
thing over, smashing furniture, and every
door that was fastened to protect piano
or some other furniture, burst open with
the breach of musket. This is an every
day occurrence in the state of Virginia.
| know this to be SO because | have seen
it myself. I have set down to a table and
eat after the family had fled and left their
dinner half-eaten. We would ask the
servants where their masters had gone

ca Col. Hyde came home on short
visit to his friends, and to attend to bust
ness, on Friday last. He left again for
st. Johnsbury on Monday, taking his
family, who are to remain with him for
short time previous to his departure for
the seat of war. The Col. looks well,
and says he enjoys camp life. In relation
to the stories of hard fare at Camp Bax-
ter, which have been so freely circulated,
he says that though they have some foun-
dation in truth, they are greatly exagger-
ated, and that whatever fault may have
appeared in the Commissary department
was owing to mismanagement on the part
Of the cooks, and the soldiers themselves

THE FOURTH IN HYDE PARK.-The
Hyde Park people were entertained by an.
other display of military evolutions by
the Green Mountain Union Guards, who
paraded, marched and counter-marched
through the street and on the Court House
Green. Nearly all day the fife and drum
filled the air with their martial notes. AT
intervals the Lamoille Brigade Band gave
us more melodious strains from their bra
zen instruments; and several times d.
ring the day the "Star Spangled Banner
was sung by them with fine effect. AT
one o'clock the Guards were treated by the
citizens to one of Col. Keeler's best din
ners; and any one who has ever done
himself the pleasure of satisfying the de-
mands of hunger at the Coils. table, need
not be told that it was all that could be
desired.

Tue FOURTH AT Though
late in making arrangements for the cele-
bration, the people of Morrisville got up
quite an entertainment. The ceremonies
were mainly as follows: After dinner at
the Morrisvillc House, procession was
formed, and headed by the Walden Cornet
Band, marched to the Town Hall, where,
after music by the band and few remarks
by G. W. Hendec, Esq, the Hon. Mr..
Chase, of Michigan, was introduced to the
audience and entertained them about an
hour and half, on the "affairs of the
nation" The procession was then again
formed and marched through the street
and back to the hotel and then dispersed.
The lecture of Mr.. Chase was well
worth hearing. His principal effort was
to show that the present troubles Of the
country was owing, not 50 much to the
love of the South for the peculiar insti-
tuition" as to the lack of mental and
moral culture among the Masses; and he
argued that the way to settle the Difficult
ty was to enlighten the people.
Over three hundred people were present.
Mr.. Whipple of the Morrisvile House,
with his usual liberality, provided for the
wants of the hungry. He entertained the
band, which came from Walden for the
occasion, free of charge.

ing was given us. There was flag pre-
scented to our regiment by some of the
native vermonters, who now reside in New
York. 1t is splendid banner, and rath-
er beats anything l have seen. We ar
rived in New York about o'clock Tues
day morning and left about 4 o'clock the
same day. We arrived in Philadelphia
ABOUT II o'clock P. NJ, Tuesday, and
left about 2 o'clock A. M. Wednesday.
We were enthusiastically received and
provided with lunch free. Some thou
sand people were present at our departure
and all shook hands with us that could
get near enough to do so. We arrived in
Baltimore about 8 A. M. Wednesday and
marched through the streets mile and a
half to the southern depot. We were
honored by the waving of handkerchiefs
in some parts of the city, and in other
parts by mutterings and curses But we
had our eyes open and were prepared to
receive them. We had our muskets load
ed and four rounds of ammunition in our
cartridge boxes. We started for Wash
ington about IL A. NJ, Wednesday and
arrived there about 2 P. M. the same day.
There are troops stationed all along the
route in regiments, companies and squads.
A short distance from Baltimore two reg
iments of Massachusetts troops are sta
toned, and at the Relay House there are
two more. 1t was reported that two spies
were captured by the regiments stationed
at Baltimore, and that they were sent to
Fort McHenry to be tried and shot.
We have encamped about IL miles
north of the Capitol, and are very pleas
antly located. There are quite number
of regiments camped about us, but don't
know how many. A person in Philadel-
phia told me that one and sometimes two
regiments have passed through there each
night for a week. Four regiments ar
rived here this morning Thursday.
One from Maine was shot into while in
the cars this side of Baltimore. There is
no particular war news floating around
here now. We have the praise of being
the best regiment that has passed through
New York or Philadelphia If get any
news will inform you.
Truly yours,
Z. A. WOODBURY..

DEAR EDITOR Il thought that | would
give you little account Of our journey to
this place for the benefit of your readers.
We struck tents about 5 l-2 o'clock Mon
day morning, at Camp Underwood, Bur-
lington, and then formed into line with
all our accoutrements on, and marched to
the Rutland & Burlington depot and EN-.
barked for the sunny south. We were re-
ceived everywhere on the route with in.
tense enthusiasm. Crowds of men, women
and children were congregated at every
depot, and we we're received by them with
cheers and waving Of handkerchiefs. There
was great feeling displayed at Rutland
Our reception at Troy was such that many
Of us could scarce restrain our tears. They
gave us an elegant supper, composed Of
nice white bread biscuit, ham, coffee
cheese, pickles, radishes, &c., and days
rations to take with u.s. Many of the
people both male and female shook us
heartily by the hand and bid us good
bye, when we parted with them.
We were provided for in New York by

sB The Lamoille Company, after re-
ceiving their uniforms yesterday, marched
to the st. Johnsburyi House, where they
halted and gave three cheers for Gov.
Fairbanks and three more for the Ladies

prising this company looked well before,
it is surprising how much the uniforms
improved their appearance. - Caledonia,s

The FOURTH AT CAMBnIDGE.-AccI-

ted the glorious 4th at Jacksonville, with
the firing of cannon, with speeches, toasts,
&C. We regret to learn, however, that at
the firing Of the first gun in the morning.
quite a serious accident occurred, by which
Lyman Sceley had an arm and hand bad
ly burned, and B. +. Holmes lost thumb,
and had both arms badly burned.
The Grafton was delivered by the Rev.
Mr.. Wheelock, and was we'll received.
Then followed dinner at Carleton's Ho.
tel, after which toasts We're given and
cheered. A Mr.. Maginnis, of Underhill,
then volunteered some remarks, in which
he strongly favored the secessionists
This kind of doctrine not being acceptable
to the loyal people of Cambridge, they
united in hooting him down.
A very fine flag was raised during the
day. The Perkinsvillc Brass Band was
present to enliven the occasion.

From Walton's Daily Journal.

AS was expected tnere was some discus
sion, and some little feeling manifested
respecting the true Interpretation to be
put upon the call issued by the Republic
can State Committee, and in pursuance Of
which the Convention came together; but
we trust it will lead to no division of the
Republican party, but on the other hand,
that it will be strengthened by the course
taken by the Committee
From the Daily Freeman.
If anybody has any doubts whether
the convention on the 26th was substan-
tally and in spirit fully in sympathy
with the principles which brought the re-
publican party into existence, the treat
ment of the action of that convention by
those who are still at war with republic
canism must very soon set that doubt at
rest. Those formerly hostile to the re-
publican party, who came into the con-
vention and acted with it because they
were only seeking to have the rightful
authority of the government maintained,
and treason put down By force, were sat
isfed with the result. But those who
hoped through the machinery of the con-
vention to srrike fatal blow at republi-
canism in Vermont, aud build, with what
they were pleased to call the Liberal
wing of the republican party, and the
great body of the democratic party, a
new party that should control the state,
were disappointed and discounted. In
other words, democrats who came into the
convention purely from patriotic motives
went away satisfied, while those who came
for office and the spoils went away in
wrath. With that result the people will
in the end be content, however much the
politicians may grumble
From the Orange County Telegraph.
The resolutions adopted are patriotic,
and breathe the right spirit in such times
as the present, and the ticket is one on
which we can all heartily unite and give
a triumphant election.
From the Burlington Times.
The Convention on wednesday demon
strated, to our satisfaction, the willing
ness of the freeman of this State to stand
shoulder to shoulder in the maintenance of
the government. Perfect unanimity is not
reachcd--that were hopeless. almost
But we expect that the opposition will be
SO slight to the ticket put in nomination
that it may be left out of the calculation
entirely, like the small quantity in the
culculus.

DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH BuIL.-Tbe
following thrilling adventure happened day
or two since to well known gentleman of this
city, tailor by trade, but whose name we for
bear to mention. On New Years Day he
took his double barreed shot gun and proceed,
ed to the Mission, in quest of small game and
the birds being quite shy he loaded his gun
pretty heavily. While crossing a large field
he was observed by ferocious bull, which i'm
mediately gave chase. The frightened sports,
man ran as fast as his legs could carry him
but the enFaged animal gained rapidly upon
his faltering steps; having run goody dis
tance and no fence or other means Of escape in
sight. The ferocions bull had got within Eve
yards of him when the sportsman fell but i'm
mediately pointed his gun at the bulls eye and
gave him the contents of barrel number one.
which hit the bull in the forehead and brought
him to the ground. Taking advantage of the
respite the hunter staggered to his feet and
again achieved a small distance from his for.
midablo antagonist, who had recovered from
bis first shock and was once more in full pur-
suit, The sportsman turned and fred barre,
number two, which hit the bull on the side of
the left jaw and knocked him over once more,
the pursuer and pursued being about ten feet
apart. Again the hunter started on the clean
leap and again the bull recovered and followed
at iull speed. Finding that the animal was
fast closing with him, our hero turned and
struck the infuriated beast over the head with
the stock of his gun, breaking the stock and
knocking the bull down. Once more he turned
and fed, and once more the bull got up and
made after him with vengeful spite, when the
hunter turned for the fourth time and knocked
him down with the berrel Of his gun, and re-
peated his blows until he killed his dreaded
antagonists. +. Herald.
