THE NEWS.

The telegraph brings us the news that at.
ter a sound thrashing, the rebels are on
panic retreat from Maryland, Their inva.
sion of that State seems to have utterly failed
them in one important particular,-the ex'
pected welcome by the Marylanders, and
large acoessions TO their forces, The invasion
seems to have had the opposite effect of
developing loyalty and devotion to the
Union, if we may judge from the reports of
the enthusiastic reception OF our troops
in their pursuit of the skedaddling
enemy. and other similar indications received
And even for those in Maryland, who have
southern longings, it is doubtless much pref
cradle to sympathize with the rebels at a
respectful distance to joiningthem IN their own
State and making it the seat of a devastating
var s.. ze..
4 In another view, however, the RAID, if such
it should be called, has been too successful
1t is humilating to us and injurious TO our
cause abroad, that the rebels should have
been permitted to remain so long nnmolested
in loyal state. But it is pretty much over
now we trust, and gloriously too; and the
important victory gained, together with the
proof which we might not otherwise have
received so eonvincingly, of the loyalty Of a
people who we're so confidently counted on
by the secesslonists, andwhose fidelity to the
Union has been somewhat suspected at the
north, will 60 far to compensate us for the
humiliation of having seen rebel army
north of Virginia. What the telegraph may
yet bring us before going to press we cannot
say but it is to be hoped that our forces
may be able to prevent the escape of the
rebels until they have been much more Sc
verely punished than even the last glorious
new indicates; and we trust that if the reb-
els have really commenced trundling upon
the down grade, they will run into the ground
at rapid speed.

THE SEVENTH VT. REGIMENT.

We publish this morning very inter
esting letter from Capt Salmon Dutton
in vindication of the Seventh Vermont
Regiment from the charges of cowardice
and bad conduct at the battle of B atom
Rouge. Capt. Dutton is brave officer,
and young man of excellent character
and attainWents,-~s son of the late Judge
Dutton of Cavendish. lie was IN COM
mand of his company during the entire
engagement, and was an eye and ear wit
ness OF all that is related by him.
While on the one hand it is, of course,
to be presumed, that Gen. Butler acted in
the premises upon what seemed, at least,
well established facts, and that the course
he felt it his duty to take towards the reg
iment was unpleasant to himself; on the
other hand, we have no reason for discred-
iting our correspondents statements, nor
do we know why the 7th Vermont, as a
regiment, should prove an exception to
the general rule that Green Mountain
Boys are not to be surpassed in unfalter-
ing bravery. Until the matter is fully
cleared up, we may, at least, indulge the
r II II L .,x.ol u
facts, owing to the deaths OF Gen. VIII
liams and Col. Roberts, and to other eau
ses, which mistake will be corrected, and
the regiment relieved from its present dis
honor, and our State from its first stain.
The condition OF the regiment when it
vert into action, as described by Captain
/ button, would alone entitle it to great al
lowance, and his statements in regard to
the regimental colors, the order of Gen.
Williams, &C., are deserving OF careful
attention.
At review held Aug. Both, referred
to by Capt. Dutton, the N. y. Delta says
that $ Gen. Butler lectured the Seventh
Vermont pretty severely for their ill con-
duct in that engagement, but considerable
" assured them that he was satisfied that
they did not lack courage, and that in the
next conflict he expected them to nobly
redeem their unfortunate behavior"
We learn that Major Holbrook has ask
ed for a court of inquiry, and we trust
the request will be granted.
Since writing the above we have receiv-
ed letter upon the same subject from
Lieut.. Col. Fullam, who was also in the
battle, and in command OF the regiment
after the death of Col. Roberts. This
letter we also publish.
We invite the attention OF our readers
to both these letters, and would impress
upon all the propriety of, at least, suspen-
ding judgment in the unfortunate matter
until the investigation demanded by Maj.
Holbrook is had, or until further light is
thrown upon the subject in other ways
We are confident it will yet be shown that
the men of the 7th Vermont are " worthy
descendants of those who fought beside
Allen, and with Stark at Bennington"

upon the basis OF facts which have been
ascertained, or matters which are at least
reasonably we'll established, should not be
deprecated. On the contrary, such crii-
cism is one OF our most valuable privileges
and strongest safeguards against corrup-
ton and abuse of power in our public SER
wants. But such criticism has no relation
to the baseless diatribes spoken of. Nor
should military officer, high or low, be
spared moment from punishment, when
he has made single failure through in
competency. Rather, greater degree
Of vigor, swifter and surer and severer
punishment is demanded by the crisis up
on us, in the treatment of unworthy off,
GERS. The certainty of swift penalty,
in case of failure, is the only stimulous
which will overcome hardness, insure vig-
or, conquer seeming obstacles, and convert
defeat into victory. The universal cry of
the patient northern people, the salvation
of the country, the interests of free gov
eminent everywhere, demand that there
should be no easy shilly-shallying with
incompetent commanders. We had no
developed generals at the commencement
of the war who could take the field; the
government was forced and is still forced
to experiment but let it be done as rap
idly as it can be justly done, until the
right man is found.
The universal voice of the loyal people
expressed through the press or otherwise,
should certainly be needed by their SER
wants of the government but in dealing
with military commanders it would be
weak government and people that should
pay any regard to the laudation or abuse,
however persistent, of this or that general
in this or that journal, when made, as is
too often the case, manifestly too early to
be bottomed upon any knowledge of facts.

The VERMONT TRooPs.-It will be
recollected that the ermont Brigade has
baan ~ the division of Gen. Franklin for
some fine We have no knowledge that
its position has been changed since the re-
turn of the army from H. lie peninsula. Ii
the Brigade still belongs to Franh..n dl-
vision, it is pretty certain that it participa-
ted in the recent great battle on the
flights commanding Hagerstown. Gen.
Mcclellan says this division engaged the
enemy on the extreme left, and that there
was severe fighting all along the line, in
which Franklin's troops were Completely
victorious, and drove the enemy at all
points. We shall await further tidings
with great solicituie. We have no
doubt the Green Mountain Boys tonight
bravely and covered themselves with glo-
ry; but we can hardly hope that all our
brave boys escaped the hand of grim
death in the terrible ordeal through which
they were called to pass.

Pope's official report of the recent battles ia
Virginia 1t has been crowded out of our col
umns for few days past by the press cf mat er
connected with the State Fair, a brief extract
was given in our issue of yesterday, but owing
to our following the paper from which we took
it, too closely, an error occurred in it, Partly
for this reason, but chiefly because the document
is a very essential part of the history of the
rebellion, we now give it entire to our readers.

Fort Randolph, Tenne,ssa.

II Is announced that the Colambus
rebel garrison has retreated 10 Fort Ran.
dolpb. The fort 10 on the Mississippi riy-
er, nenr the town Of Randolph, Upton
county Tennessee, about go miles aboye
Memphis, 160 below Columbus, and 1870
below Cairo. The position is naturally a
strong one. The fort is a rough and Ia.
complete earthwork, constructed last fan.
Il Is built upon the Second Chickasaw
Bluffs, more than a hundred feet above
the river, and Immediately south of
Island No. 81, the lower part Of which
commands the three mouths Of the Hatchie
rIver, a stream (navigable al good stages. }
that empties into the Mississippi inst
above the town Of Randolph, at tbe upper
edge OF The bluffs. These bluffs Sorm
natural parapeis for batteries, and, at this
point, command view Of Mississippi river
for six miles each way. Our iron clad
gunboats, however, by silencing whatever
guns may be placed on Island No. "a,
might enter the northern mouth Of he
Hatchie out Of the range of Fort Randolph.
The town Of Randolph, near which The
foit stands, consists of half dozen or 40
dilapidated frame house, and u an.
preached in the rear by several GOOD
roads but the country behind il, being
full OF ravines and gorges, is capable Of
being fortified to an almos, indefinite ex-
tent. II is probable that Beauregard
himselfis on the ground, attending 10 this
work. The position, however, is really
Of no manoer Of use or benefit, except 10
dispute the navigation Of the river. Il
has no railroad Communications, and, as
an army stationed there would have to de-
pend on tie river exclusively for the
transportation Of supplies, il would not re.
quire long to cut IL off and starye It out,
SO, II the rebels concentrate at Randolph.
the capture OF Memphis will be go much
the easier. II their whole falls back on
Memphis. that place cannot hold out. !,
Memphis is The entrepot OF four rail-
roads, traversing North, South, East and
West. We now hold possession Of GOOD
portion OF the Memphis and Ohio Road,
and an army could also ascend the Ten
nessee river. (as late explorations have
proved, land at the southern boundary
line Of the State, at q point near Corintb,
where the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
crosses the Memphis. and Charleston
Road. and from ibence stake cars for
Memphis" From Corinth 10 Memphis,
the distance by railroad is about ninety
miles, and as rebel reinforcements would
be measrrably cut of by Ibis movement.
the work o! reducing the latter city mighs
be prosecuted at leisure. That is TO say,
no attack would be required 10 be made
until the result should, by the corcentra-
ton OF men and arms. be rendered certain.
By carrying out this plan. she same mill
tary necessity which compelled The avac-
uation Of Bowling Green and which now
compels the evacuation Of Columbus, will
in short time make itself apparent at
Memphis. So. whether Beauregard for
tify at Island No. 10, or at Randolph, or
at any other position between Columbus
and Memphis, il will not materially in
terfere with the rapid prosecution OF The
campaign, TO the entire. extinction Of the
rebels in Tennessee.
