DOUBLE BARREL GuSs.--It is said that the great
est havoc produced at the battle of Fort Donelson
was by the use of double.barrel shot guns We
have before alluded to the Importance of this weapon,
during this war. There are many to be found scat
tered through the country. Let them be brought
into requsition at once and If there be time for it.
let them be bored for the Minnie ball If not let
buck shot or several small balls be used The lou-
be-barrel gun with the pike, which most black
smiths make, would be formidable armor.
The pike should have good blade of steel, about
Is or 20 inches long. with hook at the socket
fastened on pole made of ash or some other dura.
ble but light wood about s feet long, with sharp
iron heel the other end. The gun could be slung
to the hack or across the breast and the pike be
carried on the shoulder. When the gun is to be
used let the pike lie stuck in the ground by the
side If Southern soldiers expect to accomplish
anything in this war, it must be at the risk of a
close encounter. Few Yankee regiments would
long stand the onset Of our brave boys, made by
the double barrel gun and the pike.

Inc question must not he blinked for moment
that the present year is TO be an exceedingly trying
one Tor all necessary articles Of food for the army
ana the people Thousands of .ear laboring white
population are in the army, and irmany daes their
families must be supported from the public charity
It is not, however, charity to support them, but
an imperative duty. The families Of our soldier.
must not be neylectea: Those who stay at home
and make money, must attend to them at any cost
Spectators and extortioners ought to be taxed to
their eyeds for the support Of the poor, the fa,n
lies of soldiers, and to sustain the war;
In many of the extreme western counties We ap-
prehend much suffering. In that section, almost
every white man is q laborer. Their patriotism,
however, will not let them stay at home while the
country needs them They have gone by thou
sands to the battlefield 1t is said enough men are
not left to provide for the wants of the aged and
infrm, and for the women and children What

1t is manifest, therefore, that it will require the
labor Of most that is left behind, and of the black
population, to support those who cannot perform
out door labor and for the army Net seed Of
cotton or tobacco should be planted beyond what is
needed tor home consumption. Every woman who
can spin or knit or weave must 60 to work, to pro-
:ect the country against the ruin which must EN-

tories. Only think Of it Thirty cents are nov
demanded FROM the poor, for yard of home-spun

Was selling at 10 and Il cts, which the.factories
now buy for about cents! Corn and wheat, and
rye and oats, and hay and potatoes and peas and
beans and vegetables of all kinds must be raised to
the extent Of our ability. The fruit crop, We trust

FROM THE NINTH REGIMENT.

U. S. GEN HOSPITAL, ANNAPOLIS, Md,
October g, 1862.
DEAR JOURNAL 1T has been a long time
since have taken my pen in hand for the
purpose Of scratching few lines for the ben
eft Of the many anxious friends who are
watching there daily and | might say hourly,
as cat would a mouse. to see if they cannot
hear of some great victory won by the Union
army-or in case of battle, to see if they
can find the names of those they love most
dear, as among the dead and wounded. As
an apology, | only have to say the OH Yer
mont skedaddled from Winchester to Har-
per's Ferry, think the LIST of September
and since shat time all communication from
Harper's Ferry to the North has been cut off
until the disgraceful surrender Of said place.
which occurred on the 5th of September
and as your readers are all posted long ere
this in relation to that shameful transaction,
! forbear saying anything about it. | only
ask that history should do justice to ALL and
let the blame fall on its legitimate head |
would say in connection, however, that
have always been Republics, and always
thought the institution of slavery was wrong,
but at the same time | ALWAYS calculated that
white man was about as good as a negro
But according to my arithmetic at the rate
we were disposed of at Harper's Ferry, it
takes about one regiment Of white men to be
equal to one negro. But let this be as it
may, the surrender of Harper's Ferry put the
Vermont, with many others, in good
condition for a march, which they did not
fail to get-and as the result of said march. |
find myself enclosed within the wallis of the
U. S. General Hospital, where | have been
partaking of the Inequalities of Uncle Sam
since the Gath of September aud word in
behalf Of this institution and will not wea-
ry your patience longer.
Well at the present time, this Institution
has about two thousand sick and wounded
soldiers to care for. Some with an arm off.
some with leg off, and some with both legs
of, while others are sick with fevers of diff.
ieren' kinds, and do not suppose there is
man in the whole crowd but whet has the
very best OF care. And here | would say
word to Vermont mothers, wives and sis
tiers, and that is, there is good delegation
here from Vermont that are receiving hourly
