HE NINTH VT. AT CHIcAao.-We
are glad to learn from friend who has
just returned from Chicago that the state
ment about the misconduct of the 9th
Vermont at Chicago published by the
Chicago Tribune-which we copied the
other days entirely incorrect. The
regiment is not at Camp Douglas, the
general rendezvous near Chicago, but is
encamped nearly mile away, and no in
subordination has been shown by it at all.
The true statement of the affair out of
which the Tribune's story was made, as
given US by our friend, who was in the
city at the time, is as follows: About 100
of the Vermont regiment were sent down
to Camp Douglas to get arms for guard
duty. While waiting for them number
of paroled soldiers gathered round and
began to advise the Vermonters not to
take arms, to refuse all duty, &c. The
captain in command requ ssted Col. Tuck
err to order these men away, which was
done, and they, as they went, hooted and
groaned. The Vermonters took their
arms and marched back to their regiment,
quietly as they should. Col. Tucker did
not draw the regiment in line, for it was
not there the Vermont soldiers that
were there did not refuse to take arms,
and if any regiment was ordered to
charge bayonets, it was not upon the
Vermonters, but upon the crowd around
them. With the other outrages men,
toned, the Vermont 9th had nothing to
do, for they were not in Camp Douglas
at all. We were sure that there must be
some mistake about it, knowing Col. STAN
nard to be too good an officer to allow any
such misconduct on the part of his sol
diers, and believing that Vermont troops
would not SO disgrace themselves and
their State in any case.
We are told that the editors of the
Tribune were waited on by deputation
of Vermonters resident in Chicago, and
agreed to publish correction of the
statement; but if any was made we have
not seen it. Free Press,

PROPOSED NEW POSTAL CURRENCY

PROPOSED NEW POSTAL CURRENCY
A Washington correspondent says that
parties in New England propose a new
style ofpostal currency. tbs to enclose
the Post Office, or postal currency, stamp
in circle of white metal, covered by a
piece of mica, making circular metallic
case, with the stamp protected from the
wear and tear of use. 1t has been ap-
proved by all who have seen it. 1t is
stated that at the preseut rate of issue of
the postal currency it will take eight years
to bring out the fifty millions authorized
by Congress. The inventors Of this new
style Of currency propose to get up the
stamps themselves at their own cost, to
be allowed to issuethese metallic currency.
They think that by employing the button
manufactures of New England they can
very nearly supply the demand at such
an advance as will be satisfactory to the
bankers and the public.
