e Halleck owns up at las, that Beaure-
gard has escaped him. He has been pooh
pooling the idea that Beauresard had gone
to Charleston, or had any idea of leaving the
Southwest, till within two or three DAYS, but
dispatch has been received from him to-
day, hear, in which he owns up that Beau
regard is doubtless in Richmond. The co.
600 prisoners caught by Pope are nowhere,
and the $4,000 deserters are nowhere, and
the other big stories are-simply in the news
papers of six weeks ago. 1t is the current
talk in Washington streets that Halleck is
used up now. He has permitted powerful
enemy to entirely escape him, and it will be
wonderful good luck if Beauregard's troops
are not precipita;ed upon the Potomac army,
and upon Fremont and Banks before any of
Halleck's troops can arrive here.

suspicion upon certain cordwainer of the
vicinity, an erratic fellow, of previous bad
repute. He has changed his location sever

A part of the company being recruited at
st Johnsbury for tie 9th regiment marched
to this place on Friday last, and made very
creditable display under Mr. H. H. Dewey
Mr. Dewey was the first volunteer from this
town, and served three months in the I'd n.
H. regiment. He evidently understands
how to make his men appear to the best ad-
vantage. They were entertained by the citi-
zens and behared like gentlemen.
In the afternoon, just as the company left,
young man by the name of Lother from
Ryegate, who had come to witness the pa
rade, was accidentally shot. He was leaning.
in very careless manner, over his gun and
playing with the lock with his foot, when the
gun was discharged, the whole charge enter
ing his side, causing most frightful wound.
He is still living and hopes are entertained
of his recovery.

Orleans County,.

The county court is now in session at Iras-
burg. The Standard says a large number of
cases are set for the jury, including several
railroad cases.
The same paper says that on Sunday, the
10th little boy, four years old, son of S. w.
Parker of Newport, was drowned by falling
into an old we'll near the village. The well
had been partially filled up some years ago,
but by some means was left uncovered this
spring. This is the second son that Mr. Par
ker has lost by drowning. A son of his was
drowned in Clyde river some three years
ago.
In regard to the suicide Of DR. Blood, the
Standard says there is no question but that
the deed had been long premeditated. His
effects were taken possession of by the town
authorities of Bloomington. The following
lines in pencil were found in his hat -

Mr.. JOEL BUTTERFIELD.-DearS Sir: Off
clal information has been received at the Ad-
jutant's office, where l am, of the death of
your son, Charles Butterfeld, of typhoid fe-
yer, at Liberty Hall Hospital, Va, on June
18th. His stay with the regiment was short,
but very acceptable. He gained the good
will and confidence of his officers. and his
loss is much regretted by them. When he
first came out, being a fellow townsman, the
son of an old friend. and Young, took every
occasion to look after his interests, to advise
and instruct him. and to make the situation
as agreeable to him as possible / gained
his friendship and felt proud of him as one
who would make the best of soldiers. He
got the mumps in two or three days after he
arrived and never was we'll afterwards. al
though he continued to do duty for some
time, till failing health compelled him to 60
into hospital.
Yours truly, Enw. MATTocKS.

TIcuIAR in selecting his physician, as 1t IS lament
able vet ncontrovertible fact that many syphihtic
natents are made miserable with ruined constitutions
by ma.treatment from inexperienced physicians IN

by the best syphiogaphers that the study and man

NAMEs OF RATTLEs.

II il not so easy to settle the uame or
hattie: hut IL is beet that this be done as
ouicklv as possible. A great engagement.
where the contending armies are spread
over considerable space, is not SO easily
named. unless the spot where the chief
struggle took place has distinct name and
marx, when this usually gives the name to
the whole battle. Yet even this Is not al.
wavs true. In the French reports the bat.
lie of Waterloo is called the battle OF La
Have Sainte, from village on the right
ia nix of the British, which was most desper-
ately contested and several times lost and
won by the two sides, and this village had
really q right, from its Importance. to give
its name to the battle.
In the present war much confusion and
needless trouble has been caused by the
different names applied to the same action.
The battle of Bull Run was first called by
the rebels Stone Bridge, and both sides
seem now settling on MANASSAS Plain" as
the proper name. BY this title II viii pro.
hably pass into history. The true battle 0t
Bull Run was the preliminary action on
the 18Th, In which Gen. Tyler pushed far
ther than bis supports warranted, and was
repulsed.
The battle Of Sprin gheld ,whete the brave
Lyen fell, was first known as the battle OF
Wilson'S Creek; the name of the battle OF
Mill Spring was not settled for weeks after
,Xolicoffer was buried and bis men had re-
covered from their panic flight. 1t was
known successively as the battle of Dug
Spring. of Somerset, and Of Cedar Creek
So. too, with the battle of Shiloh, which
was at first known as and is yet, often call.
ed the battle of Pittsburg Landing, though
the action was not at the Landing, but
around the little wooden church Of Shiloh,
near which one of our divisions was en-.
camped before the attack, from which Beau
regard shrewdly dated his dispatches on
the first evening, and in which some Of our
officers slept on the second night, while the
retreatiug Beauregard sought shelter In
Corinth.
For while there was hesitation what
to call the engagement by which New Or
leans was gained, but 1t is now called, We.
ry properly, the battle Of the Mississippi
forts.
The latest battle concerning whose style
and title there was momentary doubt is
that which was fought on Saturday and
Sunday last. The army correspondents
called 1t by various names; one insisting
on "the Pines" another on Seven Pines"
while others suggested "battle OF the
Chickahominy" Gen. Mcclellan, in his
first despatch, lIcalled it the first battle be-
fore Richmond, but he has since given 1t
the name "battle Of Fair Oaks" and by
this the unsuccessful though desperate sOr'
tie of the enemy will be known henceforth.
