Mississippi, thinks there must be 100000
rebel troops in Virginia, and wonders that
there Is not more enthusiasm ut the north,
This fully confirms Senator Wil-on's re-
mark in Faneuil that we ought immedi-
ately to raise 10000 more men. Let us

The University Of Mississippi, aud late of
tile Uui'ed States army passed through this
place on Saturday last, with his family, IN
his way to his old home in Windsor, lie
and his family have been quasi prisoners in
Mississippi for some months. His fa'her-in-
aw,I. w. Hubbard, Esq visited him early
last spring for The purpose Of accompanying
him and family home, but the rebels would
not even allow grand-child to be taken
away, lest it should facilitate the father 5

the secession army, but ever true TO the
Union AMI his country, he seorned the bride
lie left his residence as though lie was
to be absent but short time, leaving his
furniture unmoved, and bringing off what
could b. packed in three trunks. His prop
erty has all been confscatcd, and we under
stand he was stripped three times before he
GOT out Of Secessia, by the rebels, who sus-
pecied him.
The people of Windsor, hearing of his
escape few hours before his arrival, re-
ceived him at the depot with great rel nc
ing, smd cheers, music, and the roar of
cannon. lie made a brief speech. and CON
cludeG by saving that he had returned to
Windsor to offer his services to the govern
ment Capt. Boynton deserves well Of his
country, and we are sure his announcement
will be received by his numerous friends
here in Vermont with great satisfaction
He is brave officer, and We believe fought
in every battle during the Mexican war,
being wounded on one occasion, and still lat
or has braved the greater dangers Of south
ern secession. Faithful among the faithless,
let him be honored and remembered.

PAY or VOLUNTEERS, BoUNr1Es, &c
The acts of the late session in reference to
bourties, pay. &c, Of soldiers, appear not
to be generally understood. A gentleman
versed in the laws furnishes the following
facts:
!. BY acts of the late Congress all boun-
ties for enlistment were abolished as well
as the two dollar fee for bringing recruits
TO the rendezvous for enlistment.
2. For the first re-enlistment in the regu-
lar army, the soldier is to receive two dol
lars per month in addition TO his former
pay, and one dollar for every subsequent
enlistment
). Soldiers who now enter the service,
either as regulars or volunteers, for the
war" and serve out their enlistments, shall.
with their discharge, receive 500 bounty,
or that amount will be paid to the legal rep
resenlative of such as die or are killed in
the service.
4. After the 9th of August, 1861, pri-
Yates who receive eleven dollars will receive
thirteen, and those who formerly received
twelve dollars win also receive thirteen !;
privates aud corpor'ls receive the same pay,
but 10 other change IS made il the pay of
non-commissioned officers, musicians, Or anti
ficers
.. BY the increase in the rrivates' pay,
the allowance Of every officer who has SER
want is increased thereby, either twelve or
twenty-ioar dollars per year for each servant
he is entitled to.-Natioaat LatelEgeacer.

MAINE ELEcTIoN.-The Bangor Wig
has returns from 328 towns. The total
vote thus far is for Washburn, 81 ,985; Jane
son, l9,162; Dana, 1G,739. Washburn's
clear majority il about the same as last year

Dana the secessionst, thus far, 81, 351. In
the whole state it will probably be $4,000!
This is doing vel enough for Maine, con-
siderng that she has 5000 Union voters at
the seat of war, and that Dana was the reg
ular nominee of his party in state where
the observance of regular nominations"
has ever been a binding tradition among the
democracy.
