Mr.. EDITOR Having seen an adver-
tisement in your paper some weeks since,
relative to some unfortunate weak -kneed
who fed to Canada for fear
of being called to defend their country in
her hour of peril, thought the following
appropriate: A gentleman while defn-
ing his position on topics connected with
the war, said he had ever been demo-
crat and never had any sympathy with
abolitionists, and if he had two daugh-
ters and if one should ma rry negro and
the other q sneak, he would shoot them
both. Here he was interrupted by loud
applause, which having subsided, he ad-
ded,-but | would shoot the sneak first.

that we ocupy, except the artillery, have
been ordered away, and have gone, sup
pose, to join the main army. The boys
are quite jubilant over their prospects Of
remaining here for some time. But then
the fortunes of war are various, and though
the indications are that we are to make
this place quite visit, still it will never
do for us to dote too much over fancied
pleasures and easy times while Uncle
Sam claims our services. The health Of
the regiment is not extremely good. The
day we left Fort Lincoln, there were two
privates in CO. F, that.were not expected
to survive but few hours. They are
the only serious cases VIC have had since
we left Brattleboro. Go. d, seems to be
favored petty we'll. Although few
have now and then been relieved from du-
ty for a day or two, still at roll calls u.s.
ually, almost every man appears and an

ter now than we have ever had before.
The boys call it the poorest kind of yer-
mont water, but the very best kind of
Maryland water. From our encampment
we have a fair view of the railroad. There
is hardly an hour of the day but that we
can see long train passing heavily load
cd with soldiers. If this great out pour
ing of the people speaks anything, it says
most emphatically, that this rebellion
must go down.

THE VERMONT SEVENTH.

The Rutland Herald contains a long
letter from 1t. Z. V. N. Hitchcock, late
aid to Gen. Phelps, who says that soon
after the battle of Baton Rouge, he was
sent by Gen. Phelps to that place to ascer-
tain the probabilities of another attack,
and to obtain knowledge of the conduct
of the late battles By going over the
ground many times, and from conversation
with all grades, and of all corps engaged,
he feels sure of the facts as he states
them. The letter is quite long, and gives
many details, and does not disagree with
the essential statements of Capt. Dutton's
letter, which we republished from the
Rutland Herald some days ago. Some
points are stated more fully and clearly.

Mr.. EDIToR.-We have just taken an

of smashup. Though taken in all its
aspects, the smash-up," in connection

regiment is now in seven divisions; each
division with one exception, is stationed

One company is guarding a bridge about
mile and half from here. 1t seemed
rather too bad for us to be divided now,

abused and cursed each other, and dared
each other to fight, but neither side chose
to fire the first shot. There were many men
on each side of that square who had
brothers or kindred on the other. The
Union Company soon went home, but the
rebels kept together, and after nightfall
begun the work of taking the active Un-

them. Six or eli ght noble fellows were

ADVENTURES OF A UNION MAN IN MIS-
SOURI,.
GRANT Co. WISCONSIN,
Sept. 30th 1862.

ISF'' cSNii G''-'
Mr.. EDIroR.--I take the liberty Of
sending you the following account of an
exile from Secessia, which | hastily noted
down his own narration. 1t is merely a
moderate sample of the first of the REBEL
ion,-a single common instance of the way
Treason carried the border states, and
drove out the loyalists. Perhaps it may
interest few Of your readers who do not
yet realize the damning guilt of treason,
but consider it a political move of doubt
full propriety Read it, peace men, and
see the effect expatriation has on farmers
previously honest and respectable. Read
it, loyal patriots, and then adopt the policy
there practiscd upon southern unionists,
toward your own traitors. My neighbor
Yancey p Battern, was driven from his
home in Scotland Co. Missouri, within 80
miles of Iowa. by armed rebels for no
other crime than loving the union dearer
than life or property. Their treatment
changed him from a quiet citizen, to a
fend and murderer, till he escaped to
the land of freedom. But | will tell the
story nearly in his own words, or at least
a part of it. One morning in June 1861,
as we sat at the table, my wife and | were
talking of the report that q band of reb-
els were plundering union men of their
arms and money, she asked me what |
would do if they came there. | said they
might take my rife and shot gun,
but my Colts pistol | must keep. So |
rose, and going to the barn, hid it in an
oat- bin. Hearing the dogs bark, came
out, and saw band Of forty men tying
their horses before my door and entering.
| walked to the house, and on going in,
saw big rebel breaking my bureau to
pieces, and throwing the contents on the
floor. Striving to be calm / said, stop,
gentleman, there are keys to all these
things that you can usc,' upon this they
took my keys, and searched the whole
house without much violence, but found
! no money, as my wife had hid roll Of
bills in her bosom at first sight of them.
The leader of the gang then said, "herc
boys, search this fellow" Three or four
stout men sprang and caught me as if
we're a thief, and began to rife my pock.
cts. tell you stranger | had to gulI
down some big mouthfuls, to keep down
the bitter curses that kept rising to my
lips, but did it, and submitted to their
superior numbers. When the leader. saw
the small amount of money they got he
turned to the only man that knew, and
said why Reed, you said this man
had money d----d poor chance Of mon.

SINCE, in the providence of God, Lieut..
G. S. Rand has been removed from our
number by the hand of death, we, his
brother officers, wish to express our
sense of his worth, and our sympathy
with his relations in the following rcso-
lutons:
Resolyed, that Lieut.. Rand was one who
by his activity and faithful performance
of his duty on all occasions, had won the
respect and confidence of the rrivates of
his company, as well as of all the officers
associated with him in command.
Resolced, that in his daily, social in
tercourse, by his generous and manly
spirit, and by his correct and estimable
department, he had gained the personal
friendship of all his companions, and
therefore,
Resolved that we deeply regret his loss
both from our circle of friendly acquain-
tances and of military duties; and that
we heartily sympathizc with his family in
their grief at his early death, while we
share with them the satisfaction of know
ing that he died as he had lived, in the
full and honorable discharge of his duty.
Resolved, that Capt. Grout is requested
to respectfully communicate the resolu-
| tions to his family.

lOpe is a more impartial visitor than we have
had from England for long time, and
though even he does net admire everything
about US, he pays Us many very pleasant little
compliments. BE speaks as follows about
our school girls:
I do not know any contrast that would be
more surprising to an Englishman, at that
moment ignorant Of the matter, than that
which he would find by visiting, first of all,
a free school in London, and then a free
school in New York. The female pupil Of
free school in London is, as q rule, either q
ragged pauper or charity girl; if not de-
graded, at least stigmatized by the badges
and dress Of the charity. We Englishmen
know well the type Of each, and have
family correct idea Of the amount Of educa-
tion which is impaired to them. We see the
result afterwards, when the same girls be-
come our servants, and the wives Of our
grOoms and pOrters. The female at a free
school ia New York is neither pauper nor
a charity girl. She is dressed with the ut
most deoency. She is perfectly cleanly. In
speaking to her you cannot, in any degree,
guess whether her father has q dollar day,
or three thousand dollars year. Nor will
you be enabled to guess by the manner in
which her associates treat her. As regards
her own manner to you, it is always the same
as though her father we're in all respects your
equal"
