Arrival of the Fourth and Finh Vermont.

WASHINGTON, Sept. goth, 1861.
A.. N SWAIN, ESQ, Sol have
this morning visited both the 4th and 9TH
Vermont Regiments. The 9TH arrived safe
ly in this City last night, and are now at
the Soldiers Retreat near the depot, await
ing orders. The men lock well, and are in
good spirits. The 4th, Col. StoughtoD,
have gone into camp on Capitol Hill, which
is a very pleasant encampment, about one
mile east Of the capitol.
The men were quite busy perfeeting them
selves in military drill, while Col. Slough
ton was at his post apparently doing every
thing IN his power TO establish good order
and discipline among his men, and TO pro-
vide for their various wants.
Ii is said here that there is considerable
strife among the Generals for the honor of
commanding the Green Mountain Boys.
Respectfully, your Obedient Serv't,

az The legislature meets at Montpelier

CT The legislature meets at Montpelier
on Thursday of next week. We hope for
a short session. The people viii feel little
interest in any legislation beyond what may
be needed by the present condition of the
country. Mr.. IIolbrook being sick with
Ever, fears are entertained that he will not
be able to attend to the duties of his Office
at the assembling of the legislature, in
which case we believe it devolves upon the
present governor to perform the duties of
his Office till his successor shall have been
qualified.

Juniata County,

Juniata county has of late been in SEN
sation fever, which will probably result in a
number Of cases similar to the following,
copied from the Sentinel Of last week:
Quite an excitement was created in our bor-
aurh on Saturday evening last, by the arrest
and hearing before Justice Bowers, of Isaac
Dasher, and Mrs. Mary Wilson, his mother,
Of Mexico, this county, on u charge of hav-
inc poisoned Elizabeth Dasher, formerly Eliz
sbeth Rupp, some two or three weeks ago
The facts are briefly as follows: On the 10Th
or Goth of April last, the deceased made aifi
davit before Esquire Jacobs, of Perrysville,
that she was eacicnte by Isaac Dasher. On a
hearing few days later, the defendant pre-
ferred marrying her to being indicted, and
the ceremony was performed, much to the dis
satisfaction of his friends. Five days after
the marriage her husband brought her home
10 his sisters, Mrs. Coates house, in Mexico
On that occasion she seemed in the best health
and spirits, bat Immediately after partaking
Of supper she was taken violently i'll with
spasns and commissions, and died the same
night. Suspicion of foul play were rife, but
nothing was done in the premises until Sat
urday last. On that day Justice Bowers, on
complaint of the deceased's brother, issued u
warrant for the arrest of her husband, Mrs
Mary Wilson and Mrs. Coates. The TWO first
were arrested, but the peculiar situation Of
the latter shielded her from arrest. On ap-
pearing before Justice Bowers, Isaac Dasher
was committed to jail to await a hearing on
Tuesday last. Mrs. Wilson was held to bail.
On the same evening at the request of the
friends of the deceased, and in obedience to
the order of the county commissioners, the
body was cxhumed, and the stomach taken out
for the purpose of having it analyzod. As
no ono cared, however, about having it ana
lived unless they had some guarantee that
the expenses would be betrayed, the somach
still remains in the hands Of Constable Chat
hams. On Tuesday the parties had hear
ing and the Commonwealth failing to produce
a scintila of evidence other than the deceased
died Of Puerperal Commissions, both def.nd-
ants were dismissed. Thus ends the case for
the present, and we hope forever. All sus
pciuns are now set at rest, nuoh we have no
doubt to the satisfaction Of the persons i'm
pcated. While we deeply sympathizo with
Them in the shock which they must have suS-
taincd, in having such charges preferred
against them, yet we believe that it was the
hest thing that could have happened under
the circumstances. as it gave them chance
Of clearing up and quieting forever, the sense
less and extrayagant stories which rumOr.
with her thousand tongues has set anoat.

was gliding swiftly along over the smooth
ice, in advance of his companions, large
wolf crossing the river just few rods
ahead Of him, when he Immediately gave
chase. The frightened brute turned down
the stream, finding his pursucr would cut
him off before he could reach the opposite
bank, and ran as fast as he could, which
was not his greatest pace, owing to the
>moothncss Of the ice. The sheriff, intent
on his game, bent his whole energies to ac-
ccerating his pace, keeping his eye on the
Query creature before him, and being su-
perlor skater, he gained on him at every
stroke; but when within almost reach Of
the animal, he happened to cast his eye
ahead, and there, within half dozen
yards, was an open stretch of water Of sew
cral rods in width, into which the wolf
sprang, followed, Of course, by the sheriff,
who was unable to check his momentum
soon enough to avoid the disaster Find
ING himself in for it, he laid hold of the
growing, swapping brute, thereby buoying
himself up until his comrades arrived, when
