Recruiting.

Charles Dutton, recruiting officer for
this county, is actively at work. He has
appointed for his assistants, Zerah w.
Strait in Cambridge, U. A. Woodbury. in
Elmorc, G. F. Douglass in Stowe, and
Willard Fuller in johnson. They are all
actively at work, and up to Wednesday
night had obtained the names of about
20 who propose to enlist. 1t is expected
that in less than three weeks, enough to
form a company will have enrolled their
names.
We arc glad there are so many who are
willing to 60, and hope that none who
can consistently leave will hesitate because
they are not sure of an Office. Every
man should be willing to do what he can
for his country, and to take the position
in which he can best serve her interests.
In this enterprise there should be no bar
gaining,-no figuring for Office in order
to sell oast, but every man should enlist to
serve his country. Vermont pays her
sons we'll. The way to promotion is open
to all, and merit will not long remain I'M
rewarded.
In day or two more we expect to hear
the familiar notes of the fife and drum as
an accompaniment to the military evolu-
tions of men taking their first lessons in
the art of war.
We hope next week to be able to give
the names of goodly number of patriotic
hearts, who will have signifed their readi-
ness to fight for the Stars and Stripes"
Other States are sending their men by
thousands, and Vermont will not be be-
hind.

Brutal Outrage.

The Malone Palladium says a brutal
outrage was committed at Rouse's Point,
one night last week. Four desperate ruff
fans, just out of Jail from Montreal, came
to that place and enlisted in the regular
service, on Monday, and on Wednesday
night they entered house occupied by
the wife of one Of our volunteers, who was
sick, and had employed nurse to take
care of herself and children. They de-
manded money, and upon being told there
was none for them, broke in pieces the
furniture, stove, dishes and windows, and
with clubs beat the helpless women in a
most shocking manner--cutting terrible
wounds upon their heads and faces. The
physician says it is doubtful if the nurse
RECEIVERS. The scoundrels were arrested
and sent to Plattsburgh for trial. In
stead Of fearing punishment, or expressing
sorrow for their condnct, they said they
were tired of the Canadian jails and de-
sired to try ours for while ojust for a
change"

From Ship Island.

Rufus Clark, of Elmore, one of Capt
CIRCUITS company writes from Ship Island
on the lst inst, to his mother. We are
permitted to make the following extract
He describes the trip to New York, and
getting to sea, &C., and says:
"All went on as usual until the 2Sth
of March, when we came in sight of land;
and most welcome sight it was, too, hav-
ing been out of sight of land l6 days.
The land was one of the Bahama Islands,
called Abaco. This island is the one
where the CELEBRATED Hole in the wall,
which | consider great natural curiosity,
is situated. It is circular place cut out
of the rocks, some 40 feet wide at the
bottom, and 80 feet high. The Island is
inhabited by wandering class of beings,
which are called wreckers, who take any
ship that gets wrecked, and plumber it of
its property, and burn the ship. We
were in sight of the land all day, and
from there We went into the New Provi-
dence Chanel, which is narrow, danger
GUS passage between Abaco and Great
Stirup Keys. We are now continually in
sight of land on both sides. The weather
here begins to feel like July, tho ther-
momcter standing 80 in the shade. Moth
ing of any note took place until to-day,
When we passed the worst part of our
passage II is the Great Isaac, a large
rock coming up out Of the water, and
there is very great danger of running on
to it. We are now fairly around into
the Gulf Stream. April LIST, we passed
Turks Island, within IL mile, and had
a good view of it. 1t is the place where
all Of the Turks Island Salt comes from,

country is not yet dead, and the ominou,
intelligence that the rebels are again
threatening the capital, will cause the
whole country to spring to arms to crush
the wretches Gov. Andrew has called
for more troops to march to Washington
without delay, and the call will not be in
vain. Massachusetts, men led the van AZ
the first summons to arms, and they will
be in the front rank now. The men Of
Massachusetts, who are resting at home
will call to mind April, 1861, and the
brave deeds that have been done since
and rush to emulate the heroism of their
brothers in the field. The call is press.
ing and imperative. How pressing we
cannot tell, and though hoping for the
best, we have need to prepare for the
worst. And may God shield the right

BuRoLARY.-On Sunday night last, five
tubs of butter were taken from the base
ment of the old tin-shop, in this place,
which is now used by P. G. Cleveland,
for meat market and store room. The
butter was taken from one of the windows.
which pen.by swinging in from the bot
tom, and the fastening of which the bur-
glar succeeded in breaking. Judging
from the appearances and circumstances,
we should say that the butter was taken
by some one familiar with the premises
We also learn that on Tuesday night
of last week, some one entered the cellar of
Vernon y. Fitch, Of this town, and took
good supply Of pork; enough to last a
medium sized family all summer. We
can readily understand what might be
wanted Of the pork, but one man could
hardly need SO much butter just now, un-
less he intended to 60 into the retail bust
ness, and supply his neighbors.

and 1 saw piles of it. This afternoon
we are in sight of the high lands of Gu
be which we passed about dark. We are
now in the Gulf of Mexico and the heat
awful. April I'd. We are in sight of
the Tortugas Islands, large group of
small islands belonging, l believe to Spain.
We are now past them and have got a
pretty good breeze We have seen moth
ing more until this Saturday evening,
when We anchored at Ship Island and a
better feeling set of men you never saw,
having been at sea 25 days. On the 9TH
we were taken on shore and marched
through the hot sand about one mile to
where we are now encamped. This island
is 7 miles long and from IA to IL mile
wide; and is nothing but fine white sand,
and the heat is great; the thermometer
standing, some days, as high as los in
the shade, and if it was not for the sea
breeze we should roast. We are all of us
as black as negroes.
There was encampcd on the island,
when we came, 10000 troops, under the
command of Gems. Butler, Phelps and
shiplcy. We live pretty hard. Wehave
plenty of sinking bacon, and crackers
baked in 1910; this is fact. TO give
you some idea of the way the suffers
shave the boys, will give you list of
prices, viz: Flour, o cts. per h.; butter,
very poor,) As cts; cheese, % cts; dried
apple, 20 cts; common sugar, rs cts.
These are the true list of prices.
Since we came here the gun boats, in
our harbor have taken some half dozen
prizes, of steamers and small schooners,
loaded with tur2entinc and cotton. The
day we anchored our troops went over 6
miles, to the Mississippi main Lard, and
took small town, so we saw the whole
Of it. Last week there was q fleet of
1000 men left the island for the mouth
of the Mississippi River; some 40 miles
from here, and we have just got news from
them and they have taken FITS. jackson
and st. Philips, and New Orleans has
surrendered. There has died in our
regiment since we came here, but the
health of the men is petty good as to
my health, it is first rate, and l am en-
joying it first rate.
May lst. To-day we are packing up
tents and tomorrow morning we start for
the main land. We are going to take
charge of New Orleans while the feet
goes on"

Disaster to the Vermont Cavalry!

The Burlington Times, of Wednesday,
publishes the following:
A gentleman in this village received,
last evening, dispatch from Hagerstown,
Nd, from an officer of the Cavalry Regi-
ment which states that three hundred of
the regiment aoere missing, including Maj.
Collins, Capt. Geo. H. Bean, of Co. G,
and Lieuts John S. Ward, of Co. K, and
A. H. Danforth, of G.. In Co. A. Capt.
Platt's) all but fire are missi'lg.-Capt.
Platt, Lieut.. Edwards, and Corporals
Frost, Reynolds and Wbipple are safe.
This news will cause many sorrowing
hearts among us, as Co. A. was recruited
entirely in this county. The body of the
company were from Burlington and Vest
ford.
AS we have yet no mention of our cav
airy regiment in any Of the news dispatch
es from Gen. Banks army, We trust that
