ANOTHER CoMpANY.-We wish to call
the attention of the eople Of Rutland Coun-
ty to the fact that company of nine months
men is proposed to be raised by W. " Dun
ton, C. X. Williams and others, acting as
recruiting agents in this village As the
Rutland Light Guard will turn out nearly
one hundred men from this town, and some
thirty men have enlisted in the Iiish Compa-
nv, il is not expected TO raise another full
company in Rutland. Our quota of nine
months men is already nearly raised, The
wish is to join with two or three or more
other towns and form company OF .frst rate,
picked men. No other so good opportunity
in all probability will be presented. Those
who have enlisted in the company from this
town are all intelligent, business men, and
among the very best and most exemplary
Young men we have. If there are any in
other towns who wish to j ,in with Rutland
in forming this company, they should CON-
munioate at once, with Mr.. Dunton, or Mr..
Williams. There are some towns that will be
obliged to combine their quotas in order to
form company, and this is most excellent
opportunity. The company should be filled
by Saturday night. See the advertisement
in another column.

Beecher, Maj. French and others spoke,

a lady Mrs DR.. Benton of this place

start and young man offered himself,
and recruiting commenced. Other offers
were made of money, gold watches, gold
rings, ear rings, pencils, chains, silver
watches, COWS, &c, &c, and recruit:
stepped forward briskly, until dark, ?
Durkee, Esq, occupying the speakers
stand and crying the offerings as they

THE COLONIZATION SCHEME ExPLo-
DED.-The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Times under date OF Aug.
90, says:
The Chiriqui Negro Colonization scheme
received its quietus o-day. At the cabi-
net meeting the matter came up, and was
long and carefully considered. In
consequence of the representations
of the Costa Rican Minister, as well,
it is understood, as because Of some
other difficulties in the way, it was
finally decided to abandon the whole
scheme-at least as far as it in any way
involves the settlement OF a Negro Colony
in Chiriqli. It is understood, however,
that the President does not desire to have
the matter abandoned here, and that
Senator Pomeroy is yet expected to have
some sort Of rowing commission, to make
explorations through the tropical regions
of this continent; ter a suitable locality
for starting the proposed negro colony.

Richmond, except 600 sick and wounded
who still cucumber the hospitals.

1t is Hooker's opinion that the enemy
has never been more than $4,000 strong
in Maryland, not even when reinforced
byJackson with 10000, after that Cen
eral had taken Harper's Ferry. Residents
near the ford over the Potomac at which
the rebels crossed, say that three or
four hundred of them got out of their
depth and were drowned. The ford is a
narrow one and the descent on either
side is steep.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoroMAc,

Tuesday evening, Sept %. !
Information received to-day from a
servant who deserted from the rebels
yesterday, shows their loss in general
officers greater than ours
Gen. Wright, of Ca, is wounded in
two places, Gen. Branch, of n c., killed,
Gen. Longstreet wounded, Major-General
Anderson wounded, Gen. Calquit, of Ga,
killed. The rebels admit their loss to be
10000 at the battle of Antietam, and 80,
900 since they entered Maryland. A
Louisiana brigade commanded by Col
Corning, has not been able to muster so
men since the battle. A y.
Residents in this vicinity have suffered
terribly since the occupation by the two
armies. In many cases families which a
few days ago were in comfortable cir
cumstances, are now wanting the neces-
saries of life.
All the forage and subsistence used by
our army was promptly paid for.
The claims of those whose farms have
been laid waste, and buildings destroyed
during the battle, are referred to the au-
thorities at Washington for settlement.
The rebel movements are mysterious.
The military authorities here feel salts
fled that the whole rebel army is still on
the opposite side of the Potomac. Infor.
nation to that effect has been received
to-day. Their intentions are not yet de
veloped.
An attempt to re-occupy Maryland
must be considered impracticable.

BALTIMORE, Sept 23.-The Americana
correspondent at Sharpsburg, under date
(20th, says there has come hull in
which the contending armies are lying
quietly with the Potomac between them,
awaiting developments since the recon-
noissance across the Potomac. Friday
last, perfect quiet has reigned along
the lines, scarcely disturbed even by the
skirmishing of pickets, We hold the
river at Sharpsburg in strong force while
the rebels occupy the opposite bank, but
not it list bought, in force. We also occu-
ply Williamsport in sufficient strength to
prevent any attempt on. the part of the
rebels to disturb us.
To-day the enemy is not idle Long
columns are in motion. A regiment Of
cavalry crossed the river last night about
three miles from Sharpsburg, on recon
noissance. The rebels showed them
selves on the edge of the fords but made
no demonstration.
