DEAR PARENTs,-I have but mo-
mrnt to spare, and can write but few
lines, but | wish to relieve you Of any
anxiety as to my health. My left arm is
still little sore, but aside from that feel
as well as ever-am nearly of my usual
weight and health. Perhaps | am not
quite as strcng as before my sickness, and
might not endure long march, but DO
light duty. | have not for moment re-
GREETED that | came here, or wished my
self back. Yet | often dreamed of home
while | was sick. Sometimes from plea
SAINT dreams of friends and quiet enjoy
ment at home, was awakened by the
roar Of cannon, the rafting drum, the
noisy fife or the bugler's call All these
are familiar sounds and sound pleasant
enough to the soldier when in health, but
geyy annoying to a sick man. 1t is never
still here. Since | have been writing,
| presume | have heard more than fifty
cannon, and we have music of all sorts
all the time. We are now in readiness
to move at moments warning, but per
haps we shall not 60 for some days. /
think we shall 20 to Vienna, but am not
certain. We have a new general by the
name of Brooks. We were on
yesterday. The Vermont Sixth came to
our camp last evening after dark. They
had a cold time, for it froze quite bard
Many of them slept with our boys, but
some had to sleep out. | presume We
have had as cold nights here as you have
had in Vermont-much colder than is
usual here. We are glad to see it, for
the doctors say it will help cure the fe-
vers. We are hoping to do our fighting
soon and get further south. The soldiers
are getting some of their winter clothing.
We shall all wear blue. Can't stop TO
write more just now.
From your affectionate son,

ST. LOUIS, Now,
The following is from the correspOn-
dence Of the st. Louis Democrat
CHARLTON County, Oct. 80.
Judge OlcNeunt, a prominent citizen
of this county, reached home yesterday,
direct from the headquarters Of General
Price. He left the rebel camp at Neo-ho,
Newton county, on Wednesday, the 22d.
where Gen. Price aud Ben. McCulIoch
had united their forces, making an army
Of about 10000 strong. Gen. Price had
received large supply Of clothing, med
cine, &c, and some arms. His rihed
cannon had not reached him, but were
expected 10 do so on Sunday night undeF
the charge of Gen. B. Clark, who had
sent messengers forward to indicate his
approach.
The Legislature was in session at Ne
osho, but lacked four OF quorum. The
deficiency was soon expected to be made
up by the arrival of several OF the mem
bers, when it was believed tLey would
confirm Clah Jackson's declaration of
Independence. Gen. Price gives out
that he will stand at Neosho and give
Gen. Fremont battle, whom he expects
easily TO defeat, and then march on ST.
Louis and make his winter quarters in
Central Missouri
The following is special dispatch to
the ST. Louis Democrat:
JEFFERSON CRY, Nov. 3.
A scout arrived here yesterday, and
reports at headquarters that he left Gen'
Price on Sunday las: at Neosho, with
1900 Of his men, and 5000 Indians un-
der Ben. McCulloch. They had no IN
tenticn of making a stand in Missouri
McCulloch himself had gone to Fayeite-,
vile, Arkansas, to change the direction oil
reinforcement to Camp Walker, Arkan,
sas, instead of Missouri, where General
Price will join HIM.
Gen. Lane is south of Gen. Price, anu
has sent to Gen. Fremont for reinforce
men;s, and a large mounted force mas
gone to his aid.
Gen. Lane had skirmish with Price

Vocal music has been gradually on the

OF Mr.. n. w. Leavitt, assisted by LARGE
number Of talented singers from differ

Albany, Lowell, Newport, Jay,and Hord-

unassuming manners, and superior ac-
complishments, enlisted in his behalf

and we commend him to the considera-
ton of the public, not only as a gentle
man but as master of his profession.

VERMoNT's QUoTA.-The Woodstock
Standard says:
Probably no State in the Union will
be compiled to put forth the effort to
supply her quota that Vermont will
Not because her people are not as patri-
otto and brave as any, and as ready TO
spill their blood in defense of their cher
ished institutions, but because her young
men, her fighting men, have left in such
large numbers during the past few years
TO seek their fortunes in the great West
and California. 1t is a noticeable fact
in many Western regiments Vermont
ers may be counted by ffties and humid
reds. We have no large cities or manu-
featuring towns from which to draw as
our sister States have done, but are es-
sentially rural community, and owing
to these facts, if we should fall short in
it ought not to be set down
against us. OF one thing, however, the
country may rest assured that is, that
what our quota lacks in numbers will be
made up in the efficiency of our troops."

of the articles are of good quality and
many are of superior excellence. AT

evident interest and friendly curiosity
not unusual on the part of Generals in
reference to their ntagonsts-respect
ing Gen. Beauregard. In his case there
was all the more reason for such inquiries
in the fact that they were old fellow stu
dents and classmates, To my mind there
is something of resemblance between the
men. Both are below the middle height.
Both are squarely built and famed for
muscular power since their college days
Beaurecard indeed is lean and thin-rib-

that the men of our regiment have been

The RETREAT OF ZoLLIcoFFER.-

The RETREAT OF ZoLLICoFFER.-
A terrible and bloody ordeal. A cores
pendent of the Chicago Tribune writing
from Louisville, Ky, Oct. Is, says that
the rebel General ZolIcofer, in his re-
treat after the unsuccessful attack upon
Wild Cat camp, left his dead and dying
strewr along the road from that point to
Barboursville. 1t is estimated that one
thousand men persisted in the retreat
alone, and that his loss in the bate and
retreat will amount to fifteen hundred
men. The farmers on the line of his
march turned out 10 wreak vengeance
upon him and his men for the outrages
they had suffered at their hands, The
letter says:
The retreat began early on Tuesday
morning. The dead were left on tke
field to be buried ty the Union troops.
The field was literally strewn with them.
They must have fougbtlke fends. The
execution was terrible, and the wounded
were few. The effects Of tho long balls,
the Mimic, are represented to have been
most terrible, Bodies were perforated
and skulls were broken into half dozen
pieces. Many features it was impossible
to recognize. The grape and canister
of the artillery had also found many VIC
Tins. They were found lying on the
hill sides in groups. Ii appeared as if
the bode, on falling had rolled down the
steep sides Of the hill, and thus piled up
on one another. The road was blocked
with then, and the Tennessee regiments
in pursuit, rushed over the bodies of their
former friends and acquaintances.
But the retreat was the most trying
ordeal which man had to undergo. The
farmers, whom for weeks they had OPP
pressed, aroused by the report OF the
victory, gathered along the road to give
parting blow, and from Wild Cat to
Bsrboursville the rebel army run the
gauntlet. From every tree and rock
uoon the roadside the sharp crack Of the
farmers rifle greeted them and sealed
rebels fate. 1t is said that the retreat
was one continued flight in which the
poor devils had no chance whatever
Ambuscades opened their fires upon
them from every side and quarter, and
they felt what it was to retreat through
hostile country. Like the English who
came 10 subjugate at Lexington, Mass,
they pushed on in haste, flying from the
storm Of bullets that beat in upon them
at every step. They needed not who
fell. They pushed on, each man for
himself, seeking safety in the hills OF the
Gap"
