Mr.. EDITOR thinking that perhaps
you would like to hear from. us again, ]
take the present opportunity to let you
know that we have not all fallen through
Chain Bridge into the Potomac. AS you
see, by the date Of this letter, We have
moved from our old camp ground at Bunk
orhiHa1 We packed knapsacks, struck
tents, and took up our. line Of march for
this place on Monday morning, and before
nightwere fairly settled in our new sit
uation, TT. Slocum. Iaplesri t.oma
This fort is situated about two miles
west of Bunkerhill, and four miles north
Of Washington City. 4 1t is built in
pleasant and very commanding position I;
and though at present not 2 large work.
such is its position that it has been de-
termined to enlarge it sufficiently to mount
seventy-fve guns. The work Of enlargipg
ing it commenced some weeks ago, and is
progressing slowly. There are four COM
panies of, the ! lth at this place, which is
the headquarters Of the regiment. Three
more companies are att Taunton, about
three fourths Of a mile south east of us,
and the remaining three are at 1T. Massa-
chusetts about the same distance south
west, and it is generally expected that we
shall stay here through the winter; so
that our first work now will be to build
US some good snug winter quarters. Some
of the companies here have already stock
AIDED their tents for winter but | think
our company will build log houses.
The long talked of transfer of our reg
iment from infantry to artillery has not
yet taken place, and it is very uncertain
when it will. s.......
1t is said that Gov Holbrook will not
sign the papers for our transfer because if
an artillery regiment, we will have to stay
much longer after the war is done than if
in the infantry. The health of the reg
iment is at the present time, quite poor
great many being sick with the jaun-
dice, disease which is quite prevalent
among the soldiers around here, just now.
There are fifteen or twenty in our compa-
ny that are unfit for duty, and the other
companies in the regiment are in about
the same condition, but we hope when we
get over this and get into winter quarters
we shall enjoy better health. ~
There is prospect now of brisk opper
atoms between the army of the Potomac
and the forces under Gen. Lee. We hail
this change of the programme with much
pleasure, and hope to see something done
towards crushing out the rebellion-some-
thing that will bring the good time when
we shall return to our homes and friends
in Vermont. Yours truly,

Another Sunday FIeht.

1t seems not little remarkable that most
of the important battles of the present war
have been fought on the Sabbath. The
Bull Run fight which resulted so disastrously
to our troops, was fought on Sunday. The
recent fight near Somerset came off on Sun
day. IL is also a matter of history that
some Of the most important and decisive
battles Of former times took place on the
Sabbath. The great battle Of Waterloo
and the battle At New Orleans, iu 1915,
were both fought on Sunday. 1t has been
remarked, too, that those who made the at
tacks on that day have been uniformly de-
fcated. And this is strong argument
against contending forces violating that ho-
y day by attacks upon each other II
would be we'll for cur commanding eener-
ais 10 remember the fate Of those who have
thus violated the Sabbath, and il possible,
defer their bloody work until an hour less
sacred then the drst day of the week.

An IncIdent of tho war I'm Missouri.

A man named C---e, lived in Missouri
about 60 miles from the Kansas border
His family, originally from the South, had
settled long ago in Southwestern Missouri.
When the war broke out his two brothers
Joined the secession army, and they had
urged him TO do so too. He was true to
the Union. Hesitating, and with the ties
of kindred to distract him he remained a
passive witness Of events until all the man
that was in him at length induced him to
take his place in the great struggle. A
few days after, his youngest brother rode uT
to his house. AT the time he was out al
his wagon-house, and had been praeticina
with his rife at mark, and had Just load
ed. The younger brother said:
"Pm glad you're thinking aboutyour gun.
You had better join company"
81 have done So" was the calm reply.
"Indeed,', was the surprised reply
"Whosel"
"Captain--," naming the Captain of a
company of Home Guards that had been
raisedin hatcounty.
"Ah, that's what you are at, is II" cried
the younger brother, and drawing Colts
navy, he continued, ave got something for
you," and fred.
The ball lodged in the breast of tho ell
der brother, who staggered and fell with
the violence or suddenness Of the shock
Recovering himself Immediately, he got or
his knees, and seizing bis rife, pointed it al
bis murderous brother, who turned and fed
but the rife ball in his spine arrested the
course of the rebel forever.
The family Of the Union man gathered q
few of their effects hurriedly, and fed with
him in wagon. They are now in Kansas
and he, though severely wounded, is slowly
recovering.-N Y. Tribune.

An AnecdOte OF Cassius N. CIay--aaIs
Quarrel with Tom Marshal.

0uorrel WIN Tom NAnrnnnls
The following capital story, told Of Gas.
sius M Clay Of Kentucky, we believe has
never before been in print. IL will be re.
membered that Mr. Clay served as captain
Of company Of Kentuckians in Mexico un.
iii, taken prisoner by the enemy, he was
compelled 10 remain an inactive spectator
Of scenes in which he would gladly have
been an actor. Thomas f. Marshall, the
fluent orator and iIlimitable imbiber, was
also captain in the same regiment with
Clay. Marshall was in the habit Of coming
drunk on parade, much to the disgust Of all,
and greatly 10 the disorder and breach Of
all discipline in the regiment. Captain
Clay, though the strictest Of all the Captains
in obeying tho army rules and in requiring
obedience, determined 10 give Captain
Marshall hint Of his disapprOval. So, as
soon as he became ''oficeT Of the day."
when his command wassecond only 10 that
Of the Colonel, he put on his military para.
phernalia, and, riding up to the guard-house,
cried out in a loud voice: "Officer Of the
guard |" aud when the guard officer appear.
ed he said; Il command you to empty the
gusrd-house of all the prisoners; so long as
| have command in this regiment no sold
ier shall be punished whilst captains are
allowed to violate the rules Of war with i'm
punity." The guard-house was emptied ;
and great expectation was excited to sec
the issue of this fsgrant breach Of duty
But no notice was taken by the Colonel of
the affair.
At the next cncampment the famous
quarrel took place between Captains Clay
and Marshall, in presence of the whole regi-
ment. Clay proposed to fight Marshall on
the spot with broddsUords; but Marshall
pleaded that it would embroil the regiment
Thereupon Clay most bitterly replied, tha
'Marshal, at Lexington, did not fear to EN-
broil, by his iniammatory appeals, the peo
pie in an affray where women and children
were endangered; but here, where the two
met on equal terms, where men wore swords,
with war as their profession, he feared to
embroil others! 1t was the plea of pol
troon and assassinr' The next day Mar
shall tried to drown himself and his mortf-
cation in the San Juan river. Such was
Clay's revenge upon the leader Of the mob
of le46!

The President ON Catchins Negro e..


WAsHINoToN, Jan. l9-At the leaye-tak-
ing of Gen. James II. Lsne at the White
House, on Friday afternoon, conversation
occurred SO remarkable aud important in
its scope, and so evidently designed for the
public eye, that feel at liberty to record il
for the readers Of the Tribune.
There were present at the time Presi-
dent Lincoln, Gen Lane, Senator Pomeroy,
Commissioner Dole, few members Of the
House and group Of officers and clerks
from the differant departments Of Govern
ment.
On turning to leave, Gen. Lane said -
"Well, Mr.. Lincoln, you know my way; /
shall pursue the policy with which l began,
and somebody will get hurt"
To which the President replied:
ayes, General, l understand you. And
the only difference between you and me Is,
that you are willing to surrender fugitives
to loyal owners in case they are willing TO
return; while I do not believe he United
States Government has any righ to SiVs
them mp ,n any case. And if it had the
People would not permit us to exercise it"
Gen. Lane replied:
"That remark, ..dr. President, makes me
happier than anything that has transpired
since the commencement Of the war. And
if you will announce that as the active pol
icy Of the Administration, and let ns win
one victory on il, you will bc tho most pop
ular man ever on this continentp m
Mr.. Lincoln returned nod Of earnest ac-
acknowledgement, aud another prominent
officer present added: as
~ have been aching to ask you, Mr..
President, why you do not without the
consent of Congress, or anybody else, ac-
quire or set apart soma territory somewhere
in the South, and say to the negroes in the
rebel States, 'Herel come out and 20 over
there, and We will protect you in its pos.
session and your own fredom.' "A
After some other general remarks the
General and friends Withdrew. hsarasi
The General with his staff, leave this p.
M. for the field of his service in Kansas,
and, having won the contested seat in the
U. S. Senate, he bow ayows his intention
