Correspondence of the Freeman. From the
Second Vermont Regiment
CAMP FAIRBANKS, Washington, D. c.,
july Sd, 1861.

CAMP AlRBANkS, w asuluSIol, ~ w.,
July Sd, 1861
EDITOR OF FREEMAN i improve moment of
leisure to apprise you how our little army is
getting forward. We are still in camp near
the city, and no unusual thing has yet occur
red since last wrote, but there is q good deal
of excitement in camp tonight. We are GER
tain of one thing, and that is, that all the i'm
portant military men in town are on u general
stir, and several Regiments are moving from
their quarters in Il Southerly direction. The
report is, that scouts have brought certain in
tcllIgencc that a large Southern army is moving
towards us, and that an immediate attack is to
be made. This, however, am not sangune
of; but if they are not about to attack us,
then | am sure that our officers arc preparing
to up and at them. This Is what we all want.
An extra amount Of ammunition has to-day
been distributed to our Regiment, and little
occurrences show crisis approaching.
Our Vermont Regiment is pretty well, al
though there are more sick among the Capital
Guards than al any previous time. There are,
! believe, nine off duty to day, sick, viz: Chas.
Benedict, Cephas Barrett Hiram f. Mills,
Elisha Cass, Geo. W. Brdgeman, Daniel La
port, VIM c. Field, Stephen Taylor, and Julius
Perrin None are very sick but Benedict, Bar
rett and Cass, and they are not dangerous, yet
are pretty sick. am satisfied that this sick
ness is owing to short living and the poor wa
ter that we have. Vermont dogs fare better
than soldiers, after all; and yet, nobody can
help it as am aware. Officers do as we'll as
they can, probably, but with such crowd to
feed and look after as there is here, there is no
such thing as always having these matters just
right. All the grumbling we have in our Regi-
meme arises from the want of sufficient rations.
Our Quartermaster does all in his power for US,
but he is among 80 many sharks that he can't
fetch it right every time. Some of the boys
look pretty glum, but not many are willing to
own their mistake in coming.
While am writing, our soldiers are out
watching rockets That are being thrown up at
some place number of miles to the south of
us, and they are impressed with the idea that
they are signals of an attack, and hence the
more excitement.
Last night it rained, and the wind blew very
hard the fore part of the night, and drenched
US all out of our tents, and blew several down.
The boys had rather a wet, cold time of it.
The mig hts here are full as cold as in Vermont,
and the days are moro sultry but on the
whole, not so much warmer than it usually is
at this season there.
Our Camp has ben visited by Vermonters in
the city every day. Portus Baxter and Z. P.
Walton were here to-day. Our Camp dsci-
pline is pretty rigid, and our Vermont boys
chate under it some. Our Colonel don't seem
to exactly understand how to get along with us,
and some dissatisfaction exists, but | hope all
will come out we'll. Yours truly, -

GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN, July - lool

herself For the additional weight which the
South gained in tho Presidential election, by
this adjustment, the North received no compen-
saton -,
But now mark the practica operation OF the
com promise. Direct taxation, instead OF beng
the chief resource of the Treasury, has been re-
sorted to but four times since the foundation OF
the Government. and then for small amounts !;
in 1898 two millions Of dollars, in 1913 three
millions, in 1915 six millions, in 1915 II rec mil
lions again. in all fourteen millions, the sum to-
tai raised by direct taxation in II years. less
than an average of 5000 900 year. What
number of representatives, beyond the proper
ton of their free population, the South has
elected in former Congresses have not comput-
ed. In the last Congress she was represented
by 20 MEMBERS in behalf Of her slaves, being
nearly one eleventh part of tho entire House.
AS the increasing ratio Of the two classes of pop
ulation has not greatly varied, it is probable
that the South, in virtue of her slaves, has al
ways enjoyed about the same proportlonate rep
resentation in the House in excess ofthat accru-
ing from her free population. AS it has rarely
happened i'll our political divisions, that import
ant measures have been carried, by large ma or-
tiles, this excess has been quite sufficient to as
sure the South majority on all sectional ques-
tons. 1t enabled her to elect her candidate for
the Presidency in 1900, and thus affect the great
political revolution Of that year, and is sufficient
of itself to account for that approach to the
monopoly of the government which she has ev-
er enjoyed.
Now, though the consideration for which the
North agreed to this arrangement, may be said
to have wholly failed, it has nevertheless been
quietly acquiesced in. do not mean that in
times of high party excitement it has never been
alluded to as hardship. The Hartford Con
vcntion spoke of it as a grievance which ought
to be remedicd but even since our political con
lroversies have turned almost wholly on the sub
]ect of slavery, am not aware that this entire
failure of the equivalent, for which the North
gave up to the South what has secured her in
fact the almost exclusive control Of the govern
ment of the country, has been frequent or a
prominent subject of complaint.
So much for the pursuit by the North Of
measures hostile to the interests of the South
so much for the grievances urged by the South
as her justification for bringing upon the country
the crimes and suferings of civil war, and aim
ing at the prostration of government admitted
by herself to be the most perfect the world has
seen, and under which all her own interests have
been eminently protected ard favored /; for to
complete the demonstration of the unreas)na-
bleness Of her complaints, it is necessary only tc
add, that, by the admission Of her leading pub
lie men, there was never time, when her " pc
culiar institution " was 60 stable and prosper.

Extracts from MI Everett's Fourth Of July
Grafton.

Elsewhere in this paper will be found that
portion of Mr.. Everett's grafton in New York,
ou the 4th inst, which treats of the " three
tiiths representation. IF the substance OF
the arguments and facts by which Mr.. E. SO
clearly shows the inequality of that rule, and
The relative strength which the South has gained
by 1t hitherto in the Administration Of the
GOVERNMENT had been advanced by some Re-
publican paper, some offcious friend would
doubtless suggest that it was q " trif1e too dark
complexion" that it savored too much of the
everlasting niger" But it makes all the
difference in the world who the individual is
who rises to the height of such an argument.
Ike Country is under Infinite obligations to
Mr. Everett for having SO clearly shown that
Slavery enjoys under the Constitution Of the
United States privileges which are denied to any
other species Of property, and that through
these i. has managed to have things It's own
way nearly all the time since tile organization
uf the Government, scarcely ever having been
called upon to pay any portion Of the direct
taxes which were at the time regarded as an
equivalent concession for this large grant of
privilege. There cannot be a question but that
the continued power in the General Govern
rnent, which The South has held through this
same constitutional grant, has contributed very
largely to foster in the politicians of that Sec
ton the delusion that they held an indefeaslble
title to the right to make and administer the
laws and interpret the Constitution, and
through this belief they have been brought to
their present gigantic wickedness. We COM
mend the opportune argument of Mr.. Everett
10 the careful attention Of all candid men.

TIE following items are aiken from private
letter from the Camp at Newport News, dated
July 8:
:. We have had warm rain most Of the time
for a week past, but at present the weather is
delightful. We are favored with a cool sea
breeze here most Of the time. To- day we are
helping the Germans erect their breast. work.
The days are quite long here, as we are obliged
TO be out at rol-call as soon as it is light, and
at nine o'clock in the evening. Yesterday we
were reviewed by Gen. Butler and staff. 1t was
an imposing spectacle, all the forces being drawn
up in line, completely equipped, and their bayo-
nets glistening in the rays of the setting sun
The Generals wife and sister were present.
Major Winthrop did not speak after he
was shot
