LITERARY NOTICES.

VERNoNr QuAErERLY GAZETTEER Ludlow,
by Miss a. NJ. Hemenway.
No " has been received 1t is devoted
to Caledonia county, and illustrated by
finely engraved portrait Of Gov. Fairbanks
This work, we are glad to see, is now ele-
eantly printed on good paper, beftting the
value of the matter, so that it every way de-
serves patronage. We renewedly commend
it-and having done so, Miss Hemenway will
pardon us for calling her attention to an
omission in the present number. The Green
Mountain Patriot was the fourth newspaf er
established in Vermont, and was the origin
of our own paper. The Patriot was started
at Peacham, on the I'd Of February, 1898, by
Samuel Goss and Amos Farley, and was pub
lshed there years, when it was removed to
Montpelier and became the Wdtehman. Rev.
Leonard Worcester was instrumental in get
ting Messrs. Goss and Farley to establish at
Peacham as printers, and they afterwards
we're influential in getting Mr. Worcester
there as pastor. The newspaper contributed
much to the early prosperity Of Peachsm, aud
to the character Of the people for tina. intelli-
ligence which has ever since distinguished
them, The newspaper, the grammar school
and the parson were the foundation of the
good fame that still distinguishes the town.
Sthl another omission the Rev. Amos
Blanchard, now of Merlden, N. H., was a ma
tive Of Peachsm, and his name is well worthy
of place in its history. We will add that Mr..
Blanchard is poet, some Of whose produc-
tions would grace the pages of either the
Quarterly or the Poets of Vermont

ton correspondent says as the news Of
the recent battles is received, il becomes
evident to all intelligent persons that
there has been no such fighting as some
Of the dispatches sent out describe. The
loss Of fifteen or twenty thousand in
killed and wounded is gradually lessen
ing down to five or six thousand. 1t is
not believed at the Surgeon Generals s
Office that the whole number viii exceed
FIVE thousand. As for the fighting, some
of it was magnificent That under Sigel
on Friday covered the troops participat-
ing in it with glory. Perhaps the less
said about the Saturdays fighting the
better, though the bulk of the force en-
gagged behaved finely. The people are
very enthusiastic over Sigel and Banks,
whenever they appear on the streets or
at the hotels. At noon on Friday these
two Generals were at a room at Willard S,
looking over map Of Virginia. Gen.
Sigel came out shortly, and mounted his
horse and rode away IN a gallop. AS
he came from the private room into the
hotel, the crowd set up the cry of q Sigeli

sponsible for the following:
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. q.
In your paper of yesterday, Mr. Editor,
is a short editorial headed with the fol-
lowing remarks: !" The Enquirer, Show
ing its hand" You then endeavor by
argument to convict the said Enquirer
of sympathy with the rebels and Of hos
tiity to the Government This may
truly be said to be work of supererega-
ton. There is certainly no individual
fact in the history Of that paper which
would serve to support doubt of its en-
tire Identification with the cause of the
rebels. The man who receives his I'M
tellectual aliment from the Enquirer is
justly esteemed disloyal; and in lillustra-
ton further Of this fact, if anything fur
ther is needed, let me relate to You the
following conversation oyerheared on the
cars Of the D. 81 NJ Railroad, between
Mitchell and Vincennes, on yesterday,
the 10Th inst. 81 st a Ssa
On the morning iniquestion left Gin
cinnati by the early train for this city.
At Mitchell there was waiting, a NUM-
Der of passengers from Louisville, who
came aboard and were our travelling
companions for the rest Of the day.
Among this number was hard yis-
aged old gentleman from Kentucky, who
was full Of tact, and on visit to his
son, who lives near Washington, in Indi-
ana, This old gentleman attracted
much attention by the shrewdness Of his
remarks. and the familiarity of which he
spoke of John Morgan, and advertised
himself as being squire Turner; spoke
Of the Morgan raid in Kentucky, and
Johns short stay in Richmond
He related also his own conversation
with The veritable g John, and how
John set his pickets about the country,
and held military possession.
Turner, it would seem, has a planta-
ton near Richmond, and his overseer
had occasion to visit the town on busi-
ness with his landlord. and was stopped
by one of Morgan's pickets, (Turner wit
Messing the whole affair, when the fol-
lowing talk occurred between the picket
and overseer.

Picket--Are you citizen?
/ Oyerseer-Y Yes sir.

ular, and don't know nothin' about

Picket-You have no politics and don't
know nothin' about them, You say Then,
what paper do you read ?rs
/ Overseer--Well, 1 read the Cincin-
matt Enquirer. f@ &
Pieket--You read the Cincinnati En-

laughed at it, as an excellent joke. |

state, that he claimed for himself, to be a

i This little dialogue between Morgan /
picket and Turner'S overseer is more
suggestive and conclusive of the real
heartfelt sentiment of the Enquirer, than
whole columns of their doubtless arsev-
erations.

\ gentleman from Mobile who arrived here
yesterday with a pass from Gen. Beauregard
to our lines informed me he left that city on
ly week since, and on his way up found
trains filled with soldiers and material OF
war, their principal destination being Co.

several batteries Of rihed cannon for light
artillery service.
\ large quantity of provisions was being
hIpped to Chattanooga and nearly all the
forces from the seaboard were being drawn up
towards the Tennessee line. lie had con-
versed with many troops who assured him
that they had not received any pay for ELK

intended to 20 home.
The rebels are determined to make dee

the least DOUBT that If they are whipped
there they will yield aud desire peace.

cute are found crowded with the wounded
and dead. rne dwellings in the towns ad-
jacent to the battlefield of Sunday, are also
! filed with the wounded. The inhabitants
aided the rebel soldiers, in carrying off their
wounded during the day and buryIng them
quickly, as soon as dead. Our artillery
makes terrible havoc among the enemy in
their flight, and the rout bids fair to he one
Of the most dreadful Of the war.
From Island No. 10 we learn that the
mortar boats were firing regularly but very
moderately, about once an hour. The rebels
do not reply. There are not so many tents
visible. some reports say that they are
leaving.
\ special dispatch from Cairo to the
JuRe states that an arrival from Memphis
says that 200 Federal prisoners in that city
are made the victims Of much abuse at the
hands Of their guards. One of them had
been shot for looking out of the window OF
the prison. Three gunboats are on the ways
at Memphis but it will take some time TO
finish them. At Randolph there are only
four guns mounted. Fort Pillow, however,
is a strong fertilization mounting % sixty

Fort Pike at New Orleans is reported in
our hands. Ii was only temporary struc-
ture, mounting three or four guns.
\ despatch from Gen. Curtis army in
Arkansas says that the Federal forces had
fallen back from the battle ground at Pea
Ridge Is miles, for want of forage.
The enemy are recuperating, probably be

formation that a large body re-erossed the
Boston mountains with the intention Of at
lacking us again, but they may be only

in fine spirits and anxious to grapple again

been removed to Cassville and are doing well.

The officers of the George Peabody, which

The Heralfs Winchester dispatch says
that on Sunday morning at ten O'Clock the
Rebels received reinforcements under Gen.
Garnet numbering 5000 men. The Union
forces did not exceed TO- 900 men, and with
the exception Of about 500 were of General
Shields division exclusively. At half past
ten the enemy made feint on our left, COM
manded by acting Brig. Gen. Sullivan,
opening heavy FIRE Of artillery while the
real attack was directed against our right
with the object OF hanking it.
Tie enemy was strongly posted in the
woods behind a stone wall, and their artillery
was posted on an eminence on both sides Of
their left wing. Our whole artillery force
were engaged. 1t consisted OF I batteries Of
q pieces IN all. The contest wased iuriously
till p NJ, the fighting being done chiefly
by artillery and musketry at a range OF not
more than 800 or 100 yards. After much
loss the rebel infantry opposite Our right,
now deb0uched from the roads and attempt
ed to capture Dams battery by a charge.
The first effort was nearly successful, but a
heavy discharge OF grape compelled them to
retire in confusion. \ second and weaker at
tempt likewise failed and the enemy fell
back with heavy loss behind the stone para
pet. Gen. Tyler now ordered his Brigade
to charge the enemy's batteries on the left,
and a most deadly encountre followed. Twice
our men reeled under the storm, but in the
third effort they routed the rebels with
tremendous slaughter and loud cheering,
capturing two Of their guns and four cas-
sons. Out of 500 men engaged in the Sth
Regiment 70 were killed and - wounded.
Col. Murray fell leading his gallant corps
forward, and many other dlsh.ng officers
were killed or wounded The 9Th and sih
Ohio shared the glory and losses with
slth and 81 Virginia Regiments who
also suffered The encmy's killed and
wounded s.rewed the ground in profusion;
their left wing was utterly broken and
their centre was watering. On their side
the 4th and 9Th Virginia regiments suffered
the most; the former was terribly decimated.
Several attempts TO rally their right wing
failed and to add to their confusion an Irish
Battalion OF $50 when brought forward and
ordered to fire upon the union troops refused
to FIRE \ rebel regiment Immediately drove
this gallant little band forward but could
notcompal them to fire on the union army

field. In the meanwhile the rebels CAV,
way on their left ard centre with a loss Of
700 killed and wounded and 80 taken pri-
soners. Besides these about 800 muskets were
taken and many other valuable trophies.
Our loss docs not exceed 100 killed and SOC
wounded.
