OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
WHITE HOUSE HOSPITAL, VA, }
May oath, 1862. {
EDITOR HERALD :.


May oath, 1862.
EDITOR HERALD :.a -
For several days we remained at this place
the White House-but on the 18th the
army again moved forward. Not being able
to follow the regiment, with several others
from the regiment took up line of march
for this place, the hospital There are prob
ably one thousand men stationed here in
tents besides there are several boats or float
ing hospitals upon the Pomunky filled with
those who are less capable of caring for
themselves. Some have fevers, others have
a severe cold and bad cough most, how
ever, are worn out, and only require rest and
suitable food to set them right again. Our
supply so far has been rather scanty and
irregular; although at times we get our fill.
Probably in few days things will be so far
arranged that better care will be taken of
the many and the unwearied soldier. Al
ready we have received pillows, bed quilts,
and bed furnished, of course, by some
Relief Association.
Yesterday report reached us, that our
men had once more taken up their line of
march for Richmond. The distance from
this place to where our advance is camped
Is Mttcn mlits-ouiy eSnl uilco Aon lhc
boasted rebel Capital Indeed another
march will bring them upon the very verge
Of their undisputed city.
Yesterday some fifteen rifle repeaters left
til is place for the scene of action. They are
small cannon, throwing ball about the
size of the Springfield rifle. They are drawn
by one horse, and shoot as often as 60 or 100
times minute. They ale operated by a
crank, and the execution of such machine
would be fearful, if brought to bear upon a
large body of men.
Every few moments can be heard the
fearful booming Of cannon in the direction of
Richmond-probably our gunboats, or per-
haps few large siege guns have been
pointed in the direction of the rebel mass
now running wild and frantic through the
streets, except those who are left to guard
and fight the Yankees, and, if possible, save
their cause and their Capital.
Probably before this reaches you, you will
have full account of what has been going
on in the direction of Richmond today.
The weather is unpleasant. 1t has rain ed
for some time.
Yours, ELL lee DEE.

Baltimore, June /.
A parting salute of thirteen guns was fred
from the Fort on Federal Hill as the steamer
left. Mrs. Greenhow, Miss Rose her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Morris, four female
traitors, who have been imprisoned in WASH
ington for some time, we're released and sent
to Baltimore last evening under guard, and
left in this afternoons boat for Old Point to
be sent South. The officer having charge of
these women took them to the Gilmore House,
where, strange to say, they were permitted
10 hold regular levee, and to-day they re-
ceived quite an ovation from the secession
women in Baltimore, much to the disgust of
the Union people of the city.

RESTORATION OF CIVIL ORDER.

RESTORATION OF CIVIL ORDER.
The fact is worthy of notice that the
triumph of our armies in the States that
attempted TO secede is rapidly followed
by the restoration of civil order, and the
establishment of competent and legal
State Governments
Thus in Missouri, the Governor, Clai-
borne F. Jackson, who was elected in the
year 1860, joined the armed forces of his
country, and whilst he was sharing the
fortunes OF their retreating forces, II. X.
Gamble, true Union man, was chosen
Provisional Governor, and under his SUI
pervision the affairs of State have since
been administered. --.
In Kentucky, Magoffin was strongly
suspected of sympathising with the seces-
sion movement, but the overpowering
Union majorities of the Kentucky Legis-
lature restrained him from committing
any overt act, and having pledged him
self TO respect the decision of the people,
he found it proclaimed in such unmistak-
able and emphatic terms, that he had not
the power, and perhaps not the DISPOSE
ton to oppose it.
In Tennessee Isham Harris, the seces-
sion Governor, having fed from Nash
vile on the approach of our armies, the
position he disgraced and abandoned was
Immediately filed by Hon. Andrew
johnson, who, having repeatedly been
honored with the highest stations in the
gift Of his fellow-citizens, propably enjoys
larger share of their confidence than
any other living man. His familiarity
with their wants, prejudices and opinions /;
his knowledge of the true and false men
around him and his stern integrity and
wise craftsmanship will probably enable
him to SO strengthen the Union sentiment
In Tennessee that it will remain forever
loyal to the core, as well from choice as
from necessity.
In Virginia, basis for somewhat
similar movement is already in existence.
Letcher and the Richmond crew of con-
sprators having openly defed and levied
war against the Federal Government, the
only legal authorities of the State are
those connected with the Administration
OF Governor Pierpont, of Wheeling. His
Jurisdiction is already acknowledged and
obeyed in Western Virginia, but as our
armies advance and hold Eastern Vir-
gin'a, it will speedily be extended over
that portion of the Old Dominion. Gov.
Fierpont has already issued an address
preparing for this contingency, and dis

MORE TROOPS FROM VERMONT.

In the Phenix of last week We pub
Ished a general order from the Executive
department OF this State, ordering the re-
cruiting of another regiment of infantry
for immediate service, which order was
issued in compliance with a requisition
from the Secretary of War. 1t has long
been evident to most persons that our
army, large as il is on paper, is not large
enough for the purpose Of prosecuting the
war TO an immediate and successful ter
mination. As our forces advance into the
rebel States and capture one important
town, fort, or stronghold after another,
troops are being constantly detached for
garrison duty, and at the same time our
armies are weakened every day by the
ordinary CASUALTIES of war.
Nearly three months since the Execu-
tive of this State offered to raise two more
regiments and put them in the field if the
government had need of their service but
the Secretary Of War had all the forces
he wanted. 1t now turns out that he
finds himself short of men and he has
called upon the several States for more
His dispatch of the 21st inst, called for
one regiment in thirty days, an more as
soon as they could be raised. In view of
this emergency the Governor Of Vermont
has decided to raise two regiments imme-
diately, the order for one Of which was
issued on the same day that the dispatch
Of the Secretary was received. The re-
cruting for the two regiments will be
proceeded with Immediately, and probab-
ly the first ten companies recruited will be
detailed for the 9th Regiment.
The general government proposes that
the regiments should be recruited and for
warded Immediately to Washington, where
they would be clothed, armed and equip
ped by government But apon repre-
sentation of the Governar that the recruits
would be much better satisfied to receive
their clothing, arms and equipments be-
fore leaving Inc State, the War Depart
ment authorized the Executive to draw
an order upon the general government for
full supplies of all these articles to be de-
livered at such points in this State as he
should designate. Such a requisition has
been made, and We are happy in being
able to state that our troops will receive
their outfit as soon as they are organized.
Both Regiments will be armed with the
