BRATTLEBoRo, June 4, 1857.
Mr.. EDIroR A little before o'clock
Wednesday morning our citizens were awak-
ened by the cry of fire, which proved TO be
the roof of the back part of the Revere
House, in what is known as Dickinson s
stone building" The fire department were
promptly on hand, and put out the fire, bat
not until the entire roof and upper story
were completely charred; the tier of sleep
ing rooms below being deluged with cinders
and water. As the fire companies played
with their hose running in at the front door,
and through the house, the whole house in
the neighborhood of the hose was flooded
with water, more damage being done with
water than fire. Joseph Clark's Hardware
Store being in the basement of the build
ing, was also flooded with water by leak
ing through from the rooms above. Both
Mr.. Clark and Mr.Van Bibber, the propri-
etor of the Revere, are fully covered by
insurance. Mr.. Nash, the keeper of the
Revere, not being in condition TO break
fast his boarders and guests, the landlord
Of the Brattleboro House, with his accus-
toned generosity, invited them all up TO
take breakfast with him. On Friday of
last week the dry house, pattern shop. and
blacksmith shop of Aldridge & Estabrook
at Green River Village, Guilford, took fire
while the workmen were at dinner, and
were completely burned up, with nearly all
their contents. Loss three hundred dollars
above the insurance. Yesterday Captain
Hunt Burrows, of Vernon, went with his
company to Green River and celebrated
June training" with the Guilford compa-
ny, everybody having great time and get
ting as high as possible. The "Home
Guards of this town are played out,"-
they having voted to sell their property,
pay their debts, give the funds remaining in
the treasury TO the Soldiers Aid Society,
and disband. A company is fast being re-
cruited here under the superintendent Of
Francis Goodhue. l..

OssrAN E. DopGE AND his CONCERTS.
Mr.. Dodge is so well known throughout the
States that any thing we may say Of him
would sound, perhaps. like a repetition of
the common conversation of the people; but
since the great musical comedian has given
us enc of his inimitable performances, and
perhaps has made his farewell visit here, it
may not be out of place to say, tina; with
his remarkable fondness for music there is
combined so much mirthfulness and so large
a power of imitation, that his concerts are
entirely different from those given by other
persons. He so judiciously combines the
comic, dramatic and sentimental, that
Those must laugh who never laughed before

REcRUITISe.-1ra A. Pulsipher opened
arecruiting office at Saxton's River last
week, and we learn that quite number
have already enlisted. Several in this viii
lage have expressed their intention of doing
so Immediately, and we are glad there are
so many willing TO 60, and hope that none
who can consistently leave will hesitate be-
cause 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 shnuld be no bargain
ing-no figuring for office in order to sci
out, but every man should enlist TO serve
his country. Vermont pays her sons well
The way to promotion is open to all, and
merit will not long remain unrewarded.

drowned in the Connecticut river, at this
place, on Monday evening. He was en-
gagged in fishing, and was standing upon
some rocks projecting over the river, near

RAPIDAN STATION, VA, Nav 18th 1862.

DEAR Spirit: Before our leave of Kin.
stCn, Lieut.. Shull and myself wrote yeu for
your excellent Age, but have not yet receiv-
ed it. Please send it to RUpjdun Station,
Va. Many in our ranks are much concerned
for the comforts derived from it.. We are
much concerned to read tae Billie, but the
pcrusal OF the good Spirit, does much to-
wards presenting the dem0raliZing influence
which camp life has over us. We regret to
be moving about so much, because our pa
pers do not get to is regularly; but let this
sacrifice be made, let US suffer priyations
many, and let US be cut off from dear ones at
home, and even life itself, if necessary, for
the holy cause in which we are engaged
When you get the news of our move at any
time, direct your Age to us.
The cause Of Temperance in all things
with abstinence from intoxicati0n, is much
improving in our midst. To the N
datiOn OF our officers, ardent spirits is not
permitted in our company. All the fighting
and Quarreling among us have their origin in
drunkenness. With but few exceptions, all
bad sickness can be traced to ntemperance.
Occasionally an officer can be seen "wending
his 9ojndjng way" a base subject OF king
alcohol. \ private tumbled off the cars,
coming from Richmond q few days ago, and
was killed instantly. Several fights occurred
in the same company, all of which were
caused from drunkenness. I have heard it
from many reliable men, that some of oar
retreats have been caused by more alcohol
IL the stomach and blood, than a proper 1se
Of the brain. To this we agree. If a man
has not control over his appetites, he should
not be put to govern sober lovers of liberty.
Although we had to leave the State of our
nativity with regret, yet we believe the move
to be a healthy one. This country is broken
and ve:y mountainous, and the water of the
most excellent quality, The wheat, and
meadow fields, with a forest spread over with
v~ariegsted flowers, with water as clear as
crystal ripping over the rocks as it passes
., along the %ravines, is indeed delightful and
eleVating to the minds of soldiers.
We have had no news for two DAYS. Gen
eral Jackson gave the Yankees a small fight
on Thursday last, but soon got them to tray
cling towards Washington. No particulars
OF the fight. Two of the companies compo-
sing our brigade is on picket to. day. The
enemy is not far from US, and we are subject
to move at any hour. We have only one tent
to the company, each man carrying his own
baggage. When it rains we must take it, OF
look for some cliff to shelter US. We hope
! to be remembered by our friends at home
and that they will send Us some vegetables
and when the 9th Regiment n. G. I. gel
another chance at the Yankees, our caust
shall be strengthened.

[ had after heard Of the pine and level sandy
land of Eastern Carolina, but never knew
there was so much Of Il.
Lieut.. G. and myself were sent home last
week to get recruits and it was not unpteas-
ant for Us to 90 there, of course. We met
numerous friends who welcomed Us with
smiles and tears both Of affection and patrl-
otiSm. After spending a few days SO pleas
antly at home, we started for Camp Mangum,
(where we had left our Company with a
goodly number of recruits, most OF whom
left wives and lovely little ones at home to
hope for better days. May God protect and
care for them. When we got to Charlotte
we met with another trial. The train was
so crowded with soldiers that we had to
leave our boxes Of good things sent 20 our
boys by the. kind friends at home. However
we soon quit f~retting and on we went. Next
we were very much annoyed by a poor
drunken fellow who insisted that the Con-
ductor and myself should just take a dram
with him. Ny prompt reply was, Sir, l
never took q dram Of ardent spirits in my
life, so help me God, and | don't want to
commence tonight" The Conductor, who
from profession and appearance is a ~tetotaler
and a gentleman, grasped me by the hand
and said " Ny dear friend, stick to tAnt."-
The conductor passed on and our poor infer
tunate man found a seat on the floor Of the
car. His bottle now dropped foom his peck
ct and rolled under my feet. The tempta-
ton was too strong, | got to wondering what
would be the best to do with it. At last
pulled the stopper out and wet the sand right
good along the track, stopped up the empty
bottle and rolled it bsck under the poor
drunken man. You won't censure M fer it,
will you? We followed our Regiment on tC
this place and found them ready to take us
in and treat us as hospitality as possible.
The letters and bouquets with which oul
| knapsacks we're stuffed, were eagerly graspeC
and fully appreciated, coming as they did
from Mothers, Sisters, Wives and Sweet
hearts.

Mr.. GoEMAN:-I have been solicited 6y

from us; but l have so far neglected 1t, or
rather / have waited to see some other pen at

any how.
We are near Wilmington now and doing
finely on jeff Davis bread and meat. The
health OF the company is comparatively good
now, but of all black boys, We probably eX-
eel never knew before that there was any
place in our sunny south where men could
not possibly keep anything like clean or
white one single minute. We cook Witn
fires made of rich pine only, and the smoke
makes us so black, that "hen we write T.
our friends we have to repair to the WASH 'up
once or twice in the mean time, IN order tc
keep the words visible.

And if your columns are not too much crow

Since we encamped at Guinea'S Station, Va,
we received marching orders to go towards
the camp Of the enemy some five or six miles,
where we were again ordered to pitch cur
tents of pine brush in a dense pine forest
near M~assaponick's Church. Two days were
spent there in those little huts very cheerful
"; but to one not accustomed to such living,
it would look to be a rugge home.
The health of the Regiment continues to
improve, and | am glad to say we have fewer
cases of sickness now than we have since we
have been in the field. But while we pride
on the health Of our fellows at present, we
look on the past days OF our campaign with
doep sorrow. Many noble fellows who have
suffered with us, marched with us through
mud and rain, haze died. But while we ye
stand, who knows but they are filing an an
gelic mission in standing as sentlneIS at th'
door of our hearts.
