EDITOR OF THR HERALD:
Having lately seen my name in several Of
the Vermont papers as having resigned, /
wish TO say that the report is without foun-
dation. | like the service, and do not wish
10 leave it until the end of the war. None
of the officers, to my knowledge, who did
resign, did so on account of dislike of the
Colonel, as stated by the Burlington Times,
exc ept Capt. +. A. Plat, OF Co. A, Burling-
ton. AS the same Burlington paper which
contained the statement OF the unpopularity
of the Colonel OF the Cavalry Regiment, also
states that Capt. Plat arrived in town that
evening, conjecture he was the author OF
II. he has ever been noted for wanting to
get out of the service, especially since the
first time he heard Secesh bullets. The
people of Vermont should cot give his sto-
ries any credit.
Yours truly,
LIEUT.. FRANK T. HUNTooN.

ADvIcEs FROM ABROAD Our .dvices
from abroad are said to be ominous. For.
eign correspondents say the destiny of the
American Union is talked of with less con-
fdence by the liberal party than at any for
mer period. In England our most ardent
friends despair of our success. We are on
the edge of q volcano, and nothing but an
overwhelming victory, or proclamation Of
universal emancipation, will continue to hold
the public opinion of Europe.

LAxITY OF DISCIPLINE AT SAN QUENTIN.
"A correspondent of the SolanO Herald as
serts that great lack of discipline is obserya-
bic at the State Prison-very few OF the rules
being observed or enforced. At night, in the
large rooms which are improperly called cells,
the different droves of prisoners were accus-
toned to set back their stools, etc, against the
wall, mount fiddler on a eask, form quad
rille set, and dance like Bacchanalian devils
till ten o'clock or midnight, whooping, yelling,
shouting and clapping their hands in manner
which would induce any idea but that they
were convicts. Others sat upon the floor, en-
gagged in the games of cards, dice and domi-
noes; while still others, of the soberer class,
had books or newspapers, which they were in
tently reading amidst the hubbub. Many sang
songs, and at times the conlicts were allowed to
procure and peruse books of obscene character >
but this practice has been abolished, greatly to
the benefit of the institution. Such abuses as
these deserve investigation.

COTToN GROWING IN INDIA.-The adyices
from Madras, of the 9th ult., state that the
Board Of Commerce has informed the Govern.
ment that the Egyptian cotton-seed, supplied
BY Mr.. Shubrick, had been tried at Caddaph and
other places, and the result was failure. In
Canaan the collector states that the produce
could be raised all over the district with or with
out special care, although far greater yield
might be expected from the plants that are
carefully watered. The samples which have
been forwarded were pronounced by the Cham
Der Of Commerce, although discolored, to be
probably worth from sd. to I'd. pound in Lon
dom Morning Post.

LOCAL MATTERS.

UAREAs CoRPUs.-The habeas corpus case
of James Mooney was examined before Judge
Beldcn Yesterday forenoon, and resulted in his
discharge. Mooney was arrested on the COM
paint of ono Wagot, whom he had chased with
= knife and threatened to kill. Justice Smith,
who issued the warrant of arrest, after hearing
the testimony, ordered Mooney to give bonds
70 keep the peace, and in default, committed
him to Jail. When brought before Judge Bel
den. on habeas corpus, there being some defect
sn the commitment, he summoned the prosecut-
tnp witness and re-examined the case. The
prosecutor at first swore the case straight
through, and the evidence was strong enough
10 hold the prisoner in jail forever; but on be-
Snc cross examined, he admitted that there
was no danger Of Mooney hurting him unless
ne cot drunk again, and he was rather of the
opinson that Mooney would drink no more.
On this evidence, the prisoner was set at lib
ertg.
SHERIFF's SALEs.-The Journal, we notice,
has been endeayoring to get portion of the
patronage of the Sherif's Office, but it seems
tried the same thing soon after the present
Sheriff went into Office, but gave it up when we
learned the patronage had been sold to the
Transcript. The Democrat has never been a
fayorite with county officials, and we shall always
endeavor to dc without the patronage that can
only be procured by means of bribery and cor
ruption.

lures have lately been put into this church, and
the building was hghted up with gas for the

become perfected in the company drill.

Mexican Buchanan, and his daughter Miss
Virginia, are announced to appear at the Ne

AN ARMY ANEcpoTE.-The Monticello
(Fla.) Friend says
DR.. Palmer, Surgeon of the I'd Florida regi-
ment, relates good joke on himself, which
happened during one of the holly contested
battles before Richmond. 1t appears the doc
tor always endeavored to select building as
near the point where the battle ragged as posi-
ble On this occasion no suitable building
could be found, and the shade of a large tree
was resorted to. Upon approaching the place
an old gentleman in citizens dress was OBJ
served reclining at its trunk. DR.. p, suppos-
ing him to be straggler from one of the regl-
ments, demanded to know what he was doing
there. The only reply made by HE old gem
tleman was 81 reckon there is room enough
for both of U.S."
The doctor ma infested some dispeasure at
this very unsatisfactory reply, bat proceeded
immediately to clear the ground for the recep-
ton of wounded soldiers. Presently courier
rode up, exclaiming dispatches for Gen Lee"
The supposed straggler Immediately arose and
received them. DR.. Palmer was astonished
and chagrined, land commenced a retreat, when
Lee observing him, cried out: 'Dont leave,
Major, there is room enough for US both"
