STAMPs.-Some people are using the
" Bank Check, " Express" and other
revenue stamps for preparing postage.
This should not be done. Each kind of
stamp was made for specific purpose.
They should be used for that purpose
alone. Letters with anything on but
Postnge stamps of the neW style are
treated as unpaid, and held for postage.
Delay and disappointment are caused by
neglect or oversight in this matter.

For thirty years this valuable medi-
cine has been before the American peo-
pie, and very many intelligent citizens
will testify Of its wonderful effects in
curing coughs, colds, Group, whooping
cough, and all diseases of the chest and
lungs. We wish to have every family
IN Vermont try u bottle, and if not per-
tectly satisfied the money will be return
ed. How easy it is to cure a common
cold if taken in season, but if neglected
death, death is sure to follow. Mothers,
do you love your little ones? then has
ten and get a bottle of Downs Elixir,
and cure that child. Group! Group has
carried off thousands of dear little inno-
cents, when one bottle of Elixir, well
shaken, and taken according to directions
would have saved life. Try it.
Read the following certificates from
our well known and popular physician,
Horace Fales, NJ. H., and the Hon. Paul
ex-mem5er OF Congress, and
our worthy citizen, Geo. H. Lease. We
could add hundreds more, but let this
suffice for the present.

The shelling was what old artillerists
called very sharp and severe, aud for an
hour they were falling almost necessarily
within from one to six rods of our line
on either side, and few right among

Lieut.. Quimby had large portion Of our
company on picket, and were under hea-
Wy fire, but only one--John Bassett-
was wounded. He was struck by piece
Of shell while waving the white flag in

COL kimble. His wound is nearly well
now Our boys behaved nobly, with one
Or two exceptions, never flinching under
the hottest first.
We were treated very kindly by the
rebels, and no private property was taken
from US.
We commenced our march for this
place on Tuesday, and arrived here Sun
day night, very much worn out. We are

FRIEND EARLE,-I have no time to
write you letter now, but will give you
few facts which may be Of interest to
those having friends in our regiment.
Everyone is aware, Of course, that we
are prisoners hateful word but we must
bear it. The fight commenced on Sat
urday, quite early in the morning, to the
east Of US. In tie afternoon our compa-
ny, and part of Co. X, were deployed as
skirmishers in a piece OF woods to the
west. Balls whislled disagreeably near
us, but protected as we were by the trees.
and the enemy being at long range for
rifles, no harm was done on our side
We wounded, or think we wounded one
or two OF the rebels.
The fighting to the east on Maryland
Heights, resulted in the withdrawal of
our troops from the east side of the river.
and the spikipg of our strongest battery.
Sunday afternoon fighting commenced in
earnest, the rebels opening battery on
our camp from London Heights. We
tell back out of range, but soon skirmsh-
ing began between the pickets to the
west. Some fighting occurred during the
afternoon, in which the infantry was en-
gagged, but our regiment was ordered to
the left to prevent an attempted Aanking
movement of the enemy, so I did not ~it-
ness the engagement. 1t was very short,
and but few casualties on either side
We slept on our arms that night About
sunrise Monday morning fire was opened
upon US from five or six different battle
ries. The fire was principally directed
to Rigby's Battery, but as our regiment
was TO support the battery, and lay very
near it, We were quite as much in danger
As the battery. Shells burst over and
sruund us in rapid succession. We lay
" line OF battle, concealed 10 tie grass.

FROM THE 10TH REGMENT,-The
following is an extract from a private
letter from Capt. Steele, of Co. K, 10th
Regiment, under date of Sept 2lst. Ii
may be of interest to those who have
friends in the regiment:
I'VE are now encamped near Seneca
Greek, on the Chesapeake and Ohio Ca
nal on the Potomac. The regiment is
scattered from Stockade Fort on the same
canal to Conrad's Ferry, distance Of
about ten miles, each company by itself,
doing picket duty. My company is
guarding the Potomac for distance of
about mile. We have seen the rebel
Piolsots on the other side OF the Potomac,
and we find it much the peasantest kind
of duty we have done.
My company makes an independent
division, and assure you the men feel
huch more responsibility on their Shout
ders as they watch and listen to any
movements that may be made on the
Virginia side, than they did on guard at
Brattleboro.
The toughest work we have seen was
in the march from Arlington Heights to
our present position, a distance of about
% miles. We made the march in about
Sc hours, including all the time we had
or sleep, lunch, &c. We are now very
PLEASANTLY situated nthe Mary land shore.

Did house occupied by an Irish family

EIGHTH REGIMENT.-We have never
perhaps noticed alIthc changes in the Or
leans Co. Company in the 9Th Regiment
Captain Child has beeh a long time act.
ing as Provost Marshal of Algiers. This
has given the command of the Company
to Lieut.. Spalding, who has been often
compimented as the best tactician in the
regiment.
Lieut. Butterfeld is now occupying a
highly responsible position upon the sig
nal corps. Sergeant Tinker is in the
Telegraph corps as Lieutenant. Corporal
Harvey is promoted to the position Of %
Lieutenant in the Isl Louisiana yolun-
teers. We understand that Corporal
Farr has received a similar promotion.
The health Of this company has been
remarkable. A private letter from
Lieut.. BuiterGeld states that two Of Co.
B.,-Edward Swords, and VIM. Living.
Stone are among the prisoners taken at
time the regiment lost Companies A., G.
X, and part of l. Livingstone was act
ing Orderly Sergeant, and was detailed
to work battery, Three companies
were taken prisoners on the 9th, while
guarding the Railroad Bridge, 80 miles
from AIgiers. They were surrounded by
a band of gueriIlas 1900 strong.
We hope that Col Thomas may be
able to satisfy us when he comes back to
Vermont that he has not neglected his
command, nor sbirked bis duty, but we
fear that the fact is the other way, and
that Ibis great loss is attributable TO his
ineficiency.

JOHN F. HENRY & CO.,
Who is Hrs. Winslow ?

As this question is frequently asked,
we shall simply say that she is a lady
who for upwards Of thirty years has I'M
tiringly devoted her time and talents as
a female physician and nurse, principally
among children. She has especially
studied the constitution and wants OF this
numerous class, so generally overlooked
or careessIy treated by the faculty in too
many instances and, as a result of this
effort and practical knowledge, obtained
IN a lifetime spent as nurse and physi-
clan, she has compounded a Soothing
Syrup for children teething. 1t oper-
ates like magic-giving rest and health,
and Is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence of this article
Mrs. Winslow is becoming world re-
nowned as benefactor of the race
children certainly DO RISE UP and bless
her; especially is this the case in this
city. Vast quantities of the Soothing
Syrup are daily sold and used here 1t
has got TO be p common remark, IL had
rather depend on Mrs. Winslow's Sooth-
ing Syrup for my children, than TO have
the united advice of The medical faculty
of the city" We think Mrs. Winslow
has immortaiized her name by this IT,
valuable article, and we sincerely believe
thousands Of children have been saved
from an early grave by its timely use,
and that millions yet unborn will share
its benefits, and unite in calling her
blessed. No mother has discharged her
duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given it the bene-
fit of Mrs. Wins!ow's Soothing Syrup.
