The following extracts are taken from o
letter written by member of the Vt. I'd
regiment. who was formerly resident Of
this village:
CAMP ADVANCE, Oct Sd. 1861.
Dear Friend 1t is with the greatest
pleasure that seat myself to answer your
kind and truly welcome letter of last week
which came to hand last night. There is
but little news since | lat wrote. The
4th and 9Th regiments got here last week,
they all seem to feel in good heart and are
anxious to get dash at the rebels, yet on
a long pull | think some of the old regi.
ments would compare favorably with them.
Yesterday | came to rather sudden
stop; it was caused by my cousin Der.
nard Finncgan) appearing in my tent.
He is enlisted in the Swanton Co., 9th
Reg, and ! should as quick have thought
Of seeing Mr.. Page here as soldier. He
leaves a wife, seven children and is man
of some considerable property. | was
sorry to see him in such place on ac-
count of his family, and still | like to
see so much patriotism in one so near re-
lated to me. | s.w Carolus the night
before last he is well and he is tough
enough to stand any duty, he is much i'm.
proved in appearance since he left Camp
Lyon. VIM. Crowell is getting we'll but
is not fit fol duty, Hiram Earle is we'll.
Oscar Woodland is in Georgetown Hospi-
tai along with Chester Hill, but when a
patient goes to the pospital his Reg is
not apt to hear much from him until he
returns or dies. The boys could give me
no information about them, only that they
had not been reported dead to the Reg.
They say that the report of another SEN
tinel sleeping on post in their Reg. is in
correct.
G. A. Reed told me that Geo. Powers
had received large box, and all his Faith
er had pay on it was $50, if you have
not sent mine, please send it and will
warrant it safe through if freight is pre-
paid, since have been expecting some
butter, | shall feel uneasy till it comes
Terrence and John Roddy are well, and
seem to enjoy life. John is with me, but
Terrence has not been sent out on picket
yet but does duty in camp. | have not
seen Col. or Maj. Hyde since Sunday, they
looked we'll then. FRANCIS FINNEaAN.

Blankets for the Army! Stockings for the Ar
my! Comforts and Delicacies Tor Sick
and Wounded Soldiers!

Blankets for the Army! Stockings for the Ar
my! Comforts and Delicacies for Sick
and Wounded Soldiers!
Within short time three appeals have
been made to the patriotic women of our
country. The most important and urgent
is for blankets, which came from the
Quartermaster General of the army.
"The troops in the field need blankets.
The supply in the country is exhausted.
Men spring to arms faster than the mills
can manufacture, and large quantities or
dered from abroad have not yet arrived.
10 relieve pressing necessities, contri-
buttons are invited from the surplus stores
of families.
The regulation army blanket weighs 5
pounds; but good sound wooden blankets
weighing not less than pounds will be
gladly received at the offices of the United
States Quartermaster in the principal
towns of the loyal States, and applied to
the use of the troops.
To such as have blankets that they can
spare but cannot afford to give, the full
market value of suitable blankets, deliv-
cred as above, will be paid"
M. c. MEIGs,
Ouortermos ter General IT 6
New York, Oct. |, 1861.
Another appeal is made for stockings,
and it came to US, of Vermont, directly
from the Governor of our own State.
To The PATRIOTIC WOMEN OF VERMONT.
In reply to numerous enquiries address
ed to me by ladies who are DESTROYS to
know in what way they can make their
services useful to the soldiers who have
gone into the service of the country,
have to say that the most useful and nee
essary articles required for their comfort
during the approaching winter, are Wool
en- Socks-an article which can be pro-
duced in every family from common Wool,
large sizes and long. invite coutribu-
lions of this article from the ladies of
Vermont first for our own soldiers as far
as necessary and next for the soldiers in
our Western armies.
ERASTUS FAIRBANKS
None in the country are able to answer
this appeal better than those to whom it
is here addressed b" The patriotic women
of Vermont"
Still another appeal comes from the
Sanitary Commission, for comforts and
delicacies for the sick and wounded in
our armies. AS this appeal is long and
may be found in most of our larger pa
pers few sentences from it here will be
sufficient, and these are quoted for the
purpose of pointing out the way in which
tho thing is to be done.
The appeal after suggesting that soci-
cites be formed in every neighborhood to
advance this object, or that " existing So
cieties of suitable organization" such as
sewing societies, devote themselves for
time to the sacred service of their coun-
try" proceeds thus, "every woman in the
country can, at the least, knit pair of
wooien stockings, or if not, can purchase
them. In each town let there be concert
on this subject, taking care that three or
four sizes are produced, Fix upon
place for receiving, and date when the
package should be transmitted, and send
it as soon as possible to the most conven-
lent of the depots Of the commission"
These appeals need only to be read and
they will surely meet hearty response.
