These quietly surrendered as soon as Our
forces advanced.
The rebel army has been driven out OF
Maryland, and the North breathes freer. On
the whole their raid into Mary Wand has proved
an utter failure, and the talk of invading the
North is played out. The rebel retreat seems
to have been we'll executed thing. Many
believed they would not be able to cross the
Potomac in the face of such an army as Gen
Mcclellan had opposed to them; and we
hardly see how it could have been done so
ceverly. However it is done, and those per-
sons who sent on dispatches, one after anoth-
er, to the effect that the rebel army would Ell
Their be annihilated or taken prisoners, that
Stonewall Jackson and his entire army was
captured, etc, etc, showed their long ears,
that's all. The rebel army is back in old Vir-
ginia, preparing, doubtless, for another en-
gagement.
The losses in the fight of Wednesday were
very severe. 1t is called the greatest slaugh-
ter of any battle during the war. The I'm
ion loss was some 10000, and the rebels lost
about the same number. We had ten gener-
ais killed and wounded. Among the killed
was the noble Christian hero, Gen Mansfield,
Of Middletown, Ct.

Great Battle near Sharpsburg.

We gave last week pretty full account of
the battle near South Mountain, Maryland,
on Sunday, and in postscript gave the sub
stance of telegram from Washington which
reported battle near Sharpsburg on Tues
day. BY full accounts, which will be found
upon the first and second pages, it will be
seen that the engagement on Tuesday was but
preliminary to the terrible conflict which took
place on Wednesday; at which tine all the
available Union army was thrown upon Lee
and Jackson's rebel armies combined, and
most terrible battle ragged from daylight on
Wednesday morning until or o'clock in
the evening. The battle closed without any
decisive result, although the Union army held
the Held, and Gen Mcclellan cl aimed a deci-
ded victory, and as the result proved, rightly
so.
1t appears that while our army rested on
Thursday, from sheer exhaustion. and to tax o
care of the dead and wounded, it supposed
the rebel army would do likewise. But when
our lines advanced on Friday to engage the
rebels, it was found that their entire army
had "skedaddled" across the Potomac into
Virginia, leaving nothing but their pickets on
this side by which to deceive our troops

The 9th Vermont Taken Prisoners.

In the surrender of Harper's Ferry to the
rebels by Col Miles the ninth regiment of
Vermont volunteers fell into their hands,
This regiment has been sent to the seat OF
war since the Presidents call for SOC, 900
more troops, consequently their military ca
reer has been a short one. 1t is understood,
however, that all the prisoners taken at the
Ferry were paroled, and doubtless most il
not all will be exchanged at an early day
We hope so, as Col Stannard and the ninth
cannot we'll be spared at this time.
Previous to the attack upon Harper's Fer
ry. this regiment was stationed at Winches-
ter, but was obliged to retire before the reb.
els. In their haste they left about one hun
bred of sick and disabled men. who are sup
posed to have fallen into rebel hands. Sur.
geon Carpenter was left with them.

Thc Surrender of IFarper's Ferry.

The recent surrender to the rebels of this
important point is the subject of good deal
of talk, and We think deservedly so. 1t
seems to be fact that there were over l 900
efficient troops at this place, together with all
the munitions and appurtenances of war. 1t
is generally understood that the place could
have been held against any force that the re-
bells would have likely brought against it
The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
asserts that 100000 men could not capture it
if properly guarded. 1t is also asserted in
the dispatches from the seat of war that both
officers and men lat Harper's Ferry were u
unanimous in the opinion that the surrender
was unnecessary.
Whether it was unnecessary or not the fact
remains patent to every one that over IL 600
men, with one hundred excellent cannon. ten
thousand muskets, and more than a million
dollars worth of stores, were surrendered to
tie rebels without scarcely any resistance
The fact remains, too, that the troops were in
command of Col Miles, the same man who
held the reserves at Bull Run in '6l, and who
was then accused of being grossly drunk, and
the charges were proved against him, but he
was acquitted, and given higher place.
The people draw their own conclusions
Miles was killed If innocent court of inqui-
ry should clear his name Of any stigma that
is now attached to it. If guilty it is due the
people that the fact should be made known.

The Vermont It'll.

We last week copied so much of Gen But
ler's order respecting the battle at Baton
Rouge as related to the Vermont 7th, and al
so extracts from letters from Capt Salmon
Dutton and Lt-Col Fullam.
We have since seen letter from an intel
ligent and reliable officer at New Orleans, to
gentleman in this town, which fully corrob-
crates the statements Of Col Fullam and
Capt button, and shows that the order of
Gen Butler was most unjust and cruel to this
regiment.
The writer says, 81 am persuaded that the
regiment did nobly and we'll. If l am right
ly informed, all its firing was done by volleys,
which showed GOODNESS and courage. 1t lost
fifteen killed and wounded, and no greater
heroism was ever displayed on the field of
battle than that of their wounded Col Rob-
erts."
The writer we'll remarks that "the result of
the fight was so brilliant that there was glory
enough for all, and any true manly spirit
would have scorned to dissect and analyze a
victory SO brilliant. Instead of which Gen
Butler proceeds to set up in niche of Yer
mont's fair fame the bloody statue of one of
hee sons as disgraced and dishonored by one
of her regiments. Instead of overlooking
defects he strives to thrust them out"
No better troops have been sent from any
State into the US. service than the Vermont
regiments; and their record in eveiy position
in which they have been placed, has been
creditable to their patriotism, and honorable
to the State; and the citizens of Vermont
will be slow to believe that the seventh regi-
nent is an exception to the rule
Gen Butler may have been misinformed as
to the conduct of this regiment, and thus
been led to misstate the facts But no exist
ing facts can justify his studied effort to DIS
grace and dishearten it. Witness the follow
ing: "The commanding general excerpts the
eth Vermont from general order No. 81, and
will not permit their colors to be inscribed
with name which could bring to its officers
and men no proud thought
1t is further ordered that the colors of that
regiment be not borne by them until such
time as they shall have earned the right
to them"
In view of Gen Buffers charges Lieut. Col
Fullam says, "From my own knowledge. and
what have been able to learn from others, |
have no hestancy in saying that the charges
OF misconduct on the part of the regiment
during the hattle,are not supported by facts. -
Capt button says, "The allegation is unfoun-
ded and unjust: the disgrace unmerited and
dlsheartening." The writer of the letter re-
fcrred to in the commencement of this article
says, Il am persuaded that the regiment did
nobly and we'll"
1t is not our purpose to screen or palliate
the misconduct of our soldiers; but when
falsely accused and cruelty and wrongfully
dlsgraced, we recognize the obligation,as pub
lie journalists, to defend their reputation and
expose their calumniators.
