Financial Agent.

The Rutland Herald is very properly calling
the attention of the public to the unauthorized
appointment of II /" financial agent to assist
the soldiers in sending home some portion of
their monthly pay. There having been no law
of the United States calling for, or in any way
limiting at, the appointment of any such
"agent" and there being no law of this State
requiring or authorizing any such appointment,
and the appointment having been made, or at
least announced, but single week prior to
the assembling of the Legislature, coupled with
the fact that the " agent did not leave for the
field of his operations until day or two before
the meeting of the General Assembly, would
very naturally provoke an inquiry into the ne
cessty for such an I" agent" just at the par
licular moment when he was commissioned and
sent forward. 1t, certainly, is not a difficult
matter to imagine that, under these circum-
stances, person of Il suspicious turn of mind
would find abundant matter giving rise to the
suggestion that there was something besides an
unauthorized desire to save portion of the
soldiers pay for the use of their families at the
bottom of all this.
But whether this be so or not is d matter of
but little moment, inasmuch as the appointment,
having been made without authority of law,
must rest wholly upon the action of the Legis-
lature to give it validity. The person now act.
ing as agent " has in reality no more aulhori-
ty or right to act, than as though he had gone
on his present errand without any commission
from the Governor, and upon his private venture
alone, and the legislature viii not therefore need
to be embarrassed by any suggestions of what
may be due in courtesy. or by right, to such an
experimental effort to create an Office and fill it
in advance of any expression OF the wishes or
will Of the people. The whole subject will,
however, receive the attention of the Legisla-
ture, having been brought to their notice by
the Governors address, and there is little doubt
but that the Assembly will do all that the ne
ces5stes of our soldiers require, without much
regard to the necessities Of particular individu-
ais.

to the growth of a vigorous humanity. 1t is
proverbial as being good Safe to emigro'r

From the Seat Of war.

We are in the receipt of several recent let
tiers from our Vermont soldiers at their en-
campment, near Chain Bridge. One is from
a member Of the 4th regiment who had been
serving the State awhile, at Windsor pre-
viously to enlistipg in the army. He speaks
about rather " had bread and coffee, and
says meat Of all kinds has been rather scarce,
since we arrived here" We judge from
other reports, that there has since been some
improvement in this department, but we can
hardly expect that those who serve the State
at such distance from us, will be looked at
ter quite as closely as those who receive their
daily rations from the watchful Superinten-
dent Of our State prison.
From anoahcr letter. written on the 9th,
inst by a member of the 4th regiment, we
gather that there is still criminal neglect Of
the proper observance of the Sabbath in camp.
The brother who writes us says: This is
the Sabbath, but here it seems much unlike
that day, as We have been accustomed to OBJ
serve it in Vermont We have not as yet
had any religious services on the Sabbath
HAST sabbath our company was paid Oft, to-
day we have an inspection of arms and equip.
ments, aud next Sabbath We are to be in
spectcd by General Mcclellan. we had
short service on Fast day, which comprises
all the religious services we have had in
camp.
The Vermont regiments are all encamped
near here, and appear on the whole, as far as
[ can judge to be in good spirits and are hold
ing themselves in readiness for any event,
whether for peace or war. We see no indi-
cations Of any great movement here at pres
cnt
The weather here is quite warm, and the
exercise Of our drilling is quile fatiguing We
are obliged to sleep upon the ground without
straw, but manage by pine and cedar boughs
to make it quite comfortable"
Some other facts are reported, but they
have been 50 fully anticipated in our telo-
graphic dispatches that we 90 not deem II
neediHl to make further extracts We hope
hesc Sabbath dissertations may be discoutin-
led, aDd that those who love the Sabbath and
ong Tor the services in keeping With that day,
nay be graliei With religious privileges.
We shall expect 30 hear good report from
jhapain PIympton. His health was poor
when he l'tt Vermont, but it was expected
hat camp life would greatly improve It.
