Army CORRESPONDENCE.

We have seen long letter of much in
terest, written by IL w." of Co. F., of
the Vermont Cavalry. Owing to the crowd
ed state of our columns, we are unable to
give it as much space as we should other
wise be glad to do. He writes just after
the Banks retreat, and is in the best of
spirits, makes no complaints, and ready to
meet the enemy. In fact he seems to have
the metal of true soldier. He fully CO.
rebates the shooting OF our soldiers by the
secesh women from the houses in Winches-
ter. We make the following extract from
his letter which was written at Williams
port -
"There are only Carver and Reyes mis-
sing in our Camp. Danford was wounded,
but not fatal. He had two horses SHOT from
under him. When his horse fell they asked
him if he was hurt, he said, g They have
shot me, but not bad, give me horse, DIM
the cusses." But he was all blood and dirt
they caught horse and helped him on he
rode right up to the battery and was going
to fight some 10000 rebels alone they
took him away, and he found his camp, and
went on till he was on free soil. When
we was retreating through Winchester, the
women fired from the windows at US. We
laid some Of them to rest. There was one
instance of a girl about twenty years old
who shot little boy that was beating re-
treat on the drum. That looked horrid, but
she will not shoot any more, for one of the
Infantry shot her through tie breast"
We have letter from the 9Th regiment
Co. H., near New Orleans. 1t gives an In
teresting account of how the seeesh women
attempted to mob Gen. Butler, and how
they were squelched out. The 9Th is now
much scattered, several companies being a,
different places.
/ We are also in receipt Of an interesting
letter from Lieut.. F. ID. Butterfeld, of the
9Th, dated at Ship Island. 1t was so long
reaching us that most of Its news has beer
anticipated. We hope to hear from hin
again. He has our hearty thanks for file.
of New Orleans papers, which he has kind
ly sent US.

The governors Of most of the loyal states
of the Union have united in signing a COM
munication to the president, recommending
the enrolment of additional troops to hold
the places already conquered, and speedily
crush out the rebellion. The president APP
proves the suggestion and will Immediately
call for 100000 men. The quotiou for each
State will be made out this week. We
trust the response will be prompt and hearty

The resignation of Fremont disproves
the rumor current during the presidential
canvass of 1856-that Fremont was a
Catholic. He is not willing to have Pope
over him.
Vincent Colyer, who retreated from
North Carolina SO hastily on the advent Of
Gov. Stanly, has published card, in which
he states that he misunderstood the COVER

that until be gets explicit instructions from
the government at Washington, he will nei.

The wife of Gen. Scott died at Rome on
the 10Th uli., at the age of ~. She was
attended in her last illness by her daughter
and son-in-lar. Mrs. Scott in her day was
one of the great bellies Of Virginia, and one
of the most brilliant women Of the era of her
youth. At first, it is said. she rejected Gen.
Scott, but told him she would marry him
when he won a position in the world worthy
OF Der, and il was this ambition to win her,
II is said, which stimulated him to those
heroic deeds in the army which have i'm
morlized his name. The aged couple have
not agreed together very well of late years,
and Mrs. Scott has long lived abroad.

INcIDENTs.-At the battle near Rich.
mond, on Wednesday last week, before the
general engagement of Friday and Satur.
day, the following incidents are related -
The right arm Of Private Turner. of Co

shower of Mime bullets. The rife he held

treasure to the rear, remaining himself TN

A Rebel ball struck fairly in the n1uzzle
of rifle in the hands of John Mack, Co. G.,

several inches.
An officer of the 10Th Massachusetts was

any one to bring slaves into the free States,

such slaves their freedom. Neither Is there
any doubt Of the attachment between the
gill and Mr.. Robinson and his family. But
the relation Of master and slave which has
existed between them heretofore cannot be

inson is her transitorily. The girl Is II

We see the evil of slavery in almost every

ing on the subject. In conclusion judge
Ciosson said that as there was reporter
present, who he supposed intended TO give
these proceedings publicity, i. should be re-
membered that the parties had been allowed
great indulgence and had gone out of the
ordinary latitude. MIR. Robinson had for
merly been favoraby known in this state
and never had ought appeared against him
till the Argus letter. That came up like
ghost and would not down. In this case
he hoped the sober second thought would
prevail, and there lei the matter settle. lit
saw no reason to change the action already
taken, and Mr.. Pike would continue tc
net as guardian for the child.
The hearing was then adjourned, having
been in session for over five hours. Quite
a number of people from Reading were
present, and beihg different case from any
which ever occurred before court in Ver'
mont, much interest was felt.

Since the above report was prepared,
the following letters have been received and
are herewith appended:
So. READING, JuSf 20, 1862.
TO The Editdr Of he gfMEs:
] notice an error in your accoun, of the
guardianship investigation of Tuesday last,
in relation to the conclusions arrived at by
the Selectmen. Mr.. Hammond agreed en-
tirely with Mr. Kendall that the whole pro-
ceeding was uncalled for, and that the
charges in the petition were wholly unsus-
tanned and groundless. That was the inn
port of the letter he sent Mr.. Kendall.
] wish il distinctly understood that it was
clearly shown that the child had been kind
ly treated, and that my intention from the
first was to bring her Up in my family, In
Vermont, and educate and set her ont in
the world, when she become eighteen, as
well as my means would afford.
] protest against the import which your
heading to that article conveys. "The
second Slave case In Vermont--Freedom
triumphant r It places me in ,crong
light before the world. The investigation
before the Judge of Probate was not TO
make the child free las you remark in
reference TO the decision of Judge Harring-
ton, would imply. This was already done.
If Freedom triumphed," Il was because
had brought. the girl from Slavery to Free.
dom, with the full purpose of making hef
free, and not becatise she was made any
more free by this trial. The object of en-
duiry before the Judge of Probate was,
whether Mr.. Pike or myself was the more
suitable person to become her guardian. ]
had stated that it would be necessary for
me TO be absent from home the winter
months for several years. For this reason,
and for this alone, 1 understand that the
Judge decided that Mr.. Pike should retain
the guardianship Of the child. ! wish this
distinctly understood, also. Yours, &c,
c. L. RoBiSsok.
Please publish the above, and also the
enclosed letter from Mr. Parker, which
came too late to be used at the trial, and
greatly oblige, Yours, &c, c. +. r.
