would not be here, as the duties incident to his
new command would necessarily dctain him.
The regimentthen marched through Main-strect
to the Common and returned to their camp.
Sunday night an event occurred which cast a
gloom over the regiment and especially the Sd
company thereof. S. NJ. Taber, aged %, pri-
vate in the Ransom Guards, st. Adams, died Of
meningitis, or inflammation of some Of the
membranes of the brain. He had been sick
several days but until Sunday afternoon he was
not considered in danger. Since the arrival Of
the regiment he had been quartcred at the
Brattlcboro House, where he had received all
necessary care and attention. This is the first
death in that company and the 9th in the Regi-
ment. His remains were properly cared for
and were sent home Monday morning, having
been followed to the depot by the company of
which he was a member with the usual insignia
of mourning. Rev. Chaplain Stone conducted
the service at the depot in very feeli"g and
appropriate manner.
During the stay of Tho regiment in this place
the conduct of the soldiers has been a constant
theme of praise. The men have all behaved
admirably. Coming as they have from the
strict discipline of a camp in the enemy's coun-
try, they have not allowed its relaxation to
degenerate into rude license, but they have re-
membercd that they were Vermonters and gen.
tlemcn, and have acted accordingly. Their
visit has been matter of qualification to all
our citizens, and our regrets for their departure
are only mitigatei by the fact those who have
the strongest claims upon their attention are
awaiting their return with anxiety. Under
these circumstances We greet the coming and
speed the parting guest.
The pay il of the regiment will amount
to more than $4,000, nearly three-fourths of
which comes from the United States govern
ment. The general government will pay in
coin and our own State in bank notes we pre-
sumo. Adiutant General Baxter has been here
during the encampment and his constant en-
deavors have been to so arrange matters as to
send the troops home at the earliest practicable
opportunity. The mrematiRg action of the
general government has alone measurably
thwarted his plans.
As it is the friends of this regiment may, we
are assured confidently look for and expect the
return of the companies and their arrival at
their several destinations on Friday of this
week. From the preparations making in the
several towns to which these companies belong
we are not in doubt as to what sort of recep-
ton awaits them. We wish the boys a speedy
and safe return, and assure their friends that no
reception will be too good for them.
p. S. Since the above was in type we learn
that up to this time (Wedne 'day afternoon) no
United States Mastering Officer has arrived to
muster out of service the LIST Regiment Ma
jor Halsey, U. S. Paymrster is waiting to pay
the troops after they are mustered out Gen.
Baxter is making every effort possible to get a
mastering officer here, and is paying the regi-
ment to day what is due them from the State.

FOURTH VERMONT REGIMENT.

Worthen of the LIST Vermont Regiment, an able
and very efficient officer especialyrecommended
by Colonel now General Phelps, has been off.
c.ed the LIEUT.. Colonelcy of this regiment and
he will probably accept the position. The reg
iment viii. rendezvous at St. Johnsbury, prepar-
atory to being mustered into the United States
service.
We understand that good proportion of the
men belonging to the LIST Regiment, now about
to be mustered out of the United States service
will rc-eniist provided they can go under their
old officers. AS they have been in service long
enough to learn something of the eYt of war and
to attain accuracy of drill and the proper dis
cipline of camp life they are far better material
than raw recruits. We therefore suggest to
His Excelleacy the Governor that such Of the
Captains and Leiutenants of the 1st Regiment
as will accept of the appointment be made re-
cruting officers for the 18th Regiment. AS Off
GERS under the new organization their services
will he invaluable in perfecing the drill and dis
cipline of the Regiment, and they will give to it
a character and prestige not otherwise readily
attainable. There may be enough new men
who want to be Captains and Leiutcnants, but
il those who have seen service can be obtained
the good of the cause demands their prior Sc
lection.

Coon REcoMMENDATIoSs.--T good con-
duct Of the officers of the LIST Vermont Regi-
ment is shown by the fact that so many of them
have already been offered other commands. It.
Col. Washburn has been named for the Col
onelcy of the 9th Regiment; Maj. Worthen as
1t Col. of the 18th Regiment; Adjt. Stevens
has been appointed Assistant Adjutant General
in the army; Capt. Bush Of the Brandon Com
pany, n Captain in the army; Ii. Sweet of
Woodstock Lieutenant in the army. All the
other officers who desire it will undoubtedly be
either promoted or rc-oppontcd, as they are
equally worthy, and we have only mentioned
the names of such as occurred to us without
any invidious distinctions. Col. Phelps who went
out in command of the regiment is now in the
field as Brgadier General. Vermont has reason
to be proud of her gallant LIST Regiment.

THE WAY TO Do Ir.-The arrest of Charles
James Faulkner, late Minister to France, at
Washington by the Provost Marshal is step
in the right direction. ltwas fully understood
that while in Europe that Faulknerwos engaged
in purchasing arms for the rebels, and that he was
about TO leave Washington to assume an i'm
portant command in the Confederate Army.
Breckenridge, Vaandigham, and few other
rebels at heart should share the same fate. If
our government ever int nds to crush out this
rebellion it should seize upon the rebels wher-
ever they are.
