SAD AFFAIR AT CAMP BAxTER.-The Yer
mont camp was the scene, Saturday evening.
of melancholy occurrence, in which John L.
Tirrell Of Pittsburg, N. H., sergeant in COM
pany /, Capt. Nelson, was shot dead by a
guard, acting under orders, in attempting to
quell riot. The riotous demonstrations was
made upon the suffers quarters, kept by Mr..
n. j. Pike OF st. JohGsbury. Whether there
was any provocation for this riot, growing out
of the conduct of Mr.. Pike toward tile troops,
is not known, but it is said that the men i'll
camp had some reason to complain that he
has been accustomed to charge exorbtantIy
for various indispensable articles which the
soldiers could not obtain elsewhere without
great Inconvenience. During the progress of
the assault gu the suffers dn9rters four shnts
without effect, and only as warning. The
nun shot OF the guard took effect in the lungs
OF Tirrell, and he died a few minutes after be-
ing conveyed to the hospital. The riot was
quelled after considerable damage had been
done The affair made deep impression in
the whole camp, and taught a severe lesson of
the effects of INSTRUMENTATION.

which had been accepted from this state
should be despatched as soon as possible, ar.
engagements are making by which two regi,
ments will leave for the seat of war within
five days, and it is hoped that three regiments
may be got in readiness in six days Col.

noon TO Washington direct, will be followed
Immediately by Col. Briggs command, and
the rifle regiment under Col. Leonard will be

The Twelfth regiment will come up from
fort Warren this afternoon, and be escorted to
the Old Colony and Fail River depot by the
second battalion. Col. Webster's command
will go through Baltimore, and it has been
furnished with ten thousand ball cartridges.
Tor the murderously disposed rowdies of that
city, should they openly manifest their dis
position. The Twelfth is as finely drilled
company as New England has furnished. 1t
is commanded by able and discreet officers
and, under the lead of its gallant colonel will
demonstrate that the family which produced
the chief eXpounder OF the American constitu
ton, ran, when required, add to the list of
gallant defenders of the same instrument upon
the battle field.
Rev. Edward l. Clark of Antlover, has
been appointed chaplain of this regiment. He
is a graduate of Brown University, a Young
gentleman of fine talents, and is nueularly
well fitted for the place.

THE LOST VICTORY.

The disaster is not so great as the hrst re-
ports represented. Important changes nave

the later intelligence. The first accounts came
from nanic-stricken soldiers and rivilians, -
those who ran first and kept far ahead un''
they reached Washington. 1t seemeu "
these scared people that many thousands hau
been killed and wounded and that tue army
was wrecked. 1t turns out, however, i'l"' '''o
number al killed and wounded was much less
than they said, that not so many guns "e''

Everywhere throughout the loyal states' this

is at least one exception to the hopeful

THE GREAT DISASTER OF SUNDAY NIGHT.
We would have the hearts of our countrymen
open 10 receive all the lessons it has to teach.
5 ONE of those lessons can now be read; others
the near future will make known very clearly.
The first TO present itself is, to trust our well
tried leaders at Washington. Such men as
President Lincoln, and his cabinet ministers
with Gen. Scott as commandment chief merit
our unqualified trust. Let them haze 1t hereof
ter. When the word comes to "advanca'
again, as it surely will at no distant day, lei
us be ready with every aid in our power; but
until then let us wait content, and not presume
to map out course of action in regard to
which others are far better informed and more
competent than we civilians can be.
While in war, as everywhere else, JUS
tice, in the long run, is sure to be
victorious; in war it is subject to the blocdiest
sharply than is possible by any other ordeali;
but wherever they have proved themselves
worthy of their great cause, it has always been
the gamer, and history has made their names
immortal, while they have received also the
gratitude OF nations and of successive genera.
tons. 1t was when disaster tracked all his
steps, that Washington showed by his equa.
nimity, courage, and fidelity, that greatness of
soul for which mankind are his debtors. We
are subject to no such heavy trial Our cause
is not in such peril. We have been repulsel
Our army has been temporarily defeated. This
is bad enough; but other armies will soon be
ready, and that has yet its day of vengeance
to come.
Two unforeseen events seem TO have been
most instrumental in the result First, the
junction of Gen. johnson with the army of
Beauregard Who is answerabe for that we
can better tell, when we have heard all sides :;
but this event changed the relative strength of
the combatants so much as to make our defeat
from that moment almost certain.
The second was the "panic." New levies
are peculiarly exposed to such sudden alarms;
but the best soldiers the world has ever seen
have not been exempt from them. Even the
Old Guard of Napoleon who had decided
the doubtful balance in SO many battle fields
the peculiar pride of their great chief and the
glory Of the French army, even they were
panic stricken at Waterloo and sweed the cry
of despair.
With the bereaved we weep in sympathy
but we cannot forget that TO them remains the
precious consolation that their brave protectors
died defending and unfolding the cause of the
nation and the rights and hopes OF humanity
Instructed in many things by this event. our
future progress may not be 50 rapid in tbe
work of repression as we once hoped but our
final triumph is made more certain. Nations.
like msn, learn their best lessons through de-
feat, and find their hours Of greatest bitterness
succeeded BY the joy of unlocked for triumph.
