THE VERMONT REGIMENTS

The two Vermont Regiments in camp in
this State-the 7th and Sth, are now fast APP
preaching the time when they will leave Tor
Dixie and for victory. Both regiments have
been mustered into the service of the United
States thoroughly clothed, armed and equip
ped for their mission and both have received
their seven dollars per month from the State
up to the date of being mustered in. The
bills for recruiting both regiments are now in
the hands of Capt. Jones for examination, and
will both be paid by the general government
through him this week.
The payment of the $l3 per month from
the date of enlistment has been a source of
considerable anxiety and fruitful subject OF
correspondence. The State has heretofore
paid that claim to all the infantry regiments
from the date of enlistment to the date OF
muster, but as the 9Th Regiment was raised
under a special act, by the provisions of which
the general government is to pay all the ex-
penses of putting the regiment into the SER
vice Of the United States, the Executive has
been compelled to await the pleasure of the
War Department in this matter 1t is rule
with that department to pay only once in two
months, and the 1st of March is the time
when pay day accordingly arrives. We UNI
derstand that it is definitely arranged thai
United States Paymaster Halsey will com
mence paying the 9Th Regiment on Frida.
the last day of February, completing the bust
ness the next day, and that he will immedi
ately proceed to Rutland and pay the III
Regiment on Monday.
The State is exceedingly fortunate in tina
the Executive has been enabled TO obtain tn
payment of $l3 per month from the date o
enlistment to the present time, directly b
the gtneral government for both regiments
/ 1t will be remembered that the arms for tn
/ 7th Regiment were furnished by government
/ Consequently this State has been compelle
to advance only the sum required for furnish
/ ing the outfit of the 7th Regiment, aside {
course from the 81 per month paid the nor
commissioned officers and priyates of all OF
regiments.
These Regiments will now embark at Bo
ton for their destination just as soon as We
sells are in readiness to receive them, whiC
it is now believed will be early next week.
They go forth thoroughly armed and equil
ped, and will, we confidently believe, give
good account of themselves. The benedi
tons of ten thousand hearts at home will BET
them company. BrdtHeboro' hGniG.

A BRAVE Boy.-A ST. Louis correspond
ent of the New York World relates the fol-
lowing incident of the Fort Henry lombard
ment
An example of almost superhuman endur-
ance and spirit, as related by DR.. VOORHEES,
of Mississippi, gentleman far too intelligent
and skillful to be engaged in such cause
otherwise than in alternating its miseries, is
as follows:
When at the bombardment Of Fort Henry
young Wisconsin boy, who had by some
means been made prisoner, had his arm
shattered by bali from our gunboats, be was
taken to one of the huts, where DIR. VOORHEES,
attended to him. He had just barred the
bone when an enormous she'll came crashing
through the hut. The little fellow, without
moving a muscle, talked with firmness during
the operation of saving the bone, when an
other went plungng close by them. The doc
tor remarked that it was getting too hot 70
him. and picked the Soy up in his arms anC
carried him into orie of the bomb- proofs
where the operation was completed. Thu
only answer of the Northerner was, " If yo'
think this hot, it will be good deal too no
for you by-and- by" And" says the doc
tor, " | should like to see that boy again h
is the bravest little fellow ever saw"

SHARPsHooTER's DuEL-A distin-
guished duel occurred on the battlefield OF
Fort Donelson, between one of Colonel
Birge's Sharpshooters and crack shot inside
the enemy's Notifications.
The Federalist was stationed on hill adj
joining the intrenchments, and at an early
hour in the morning the secession foe placed
his rife on parapet and fred ball thu ough
the Unionist's hat. The Sharpshooter re-
turned his fire, received a second shot, and
sent another and fromsthat time until four
o'clock in the afternoon the two continued
dscharging their pieces without injurng one
another.
Both fred accurately; but both concealed
their persons as much as possible, and en-
deayored to deceive each other by putting
their hats on their ramrods, and trusting
their coats from behind the Notifications or
the trees. Whatever was exposed amost in
variably received bullet; but the two were
so wary and skillfu that it seemed they might
fire until doomsday without danger to either.
About the hour have mentioned, however,
the rebel, forgetful of prudence, thrust his
head over the breastwoIks, thinking, no
doubt, as his enemy had not fired for five
minutes that he might be dead. The move
ment was fatal. His head was not exposed
five seconds but in that brief period the
sharpshooters ball passed into the rebel $
brain, and stretched him out corpse before
the unfortunate fellow had been able to de-
termine where his enemy was lurking, or by
whose hand be was destined to fall.

THE REBEL PRIsoNERs FBoM DoNELsoN.
Two thousand Of the rebel prisoners taken
at Fort Donelson have arrived at Chicago
They look haggard and war-worn, but the
Tribune says that were they washed and shaw
ed and otherwise recruited they would be a
noble set of men. OF their feelings in re-
gard to the war the Tribune remarks:
The Tennessee men whom we met inva-
riably said that they had had enough Of fight
ing, and if they could be liberated would at
once settle down to quiet life Many OK

sissippians, when Intercepted, simply said
that they would wait till they got well out
of this scrape' before they said anything a
bout it--their air and bearing. though court
eous, betokenng that they were ready to con-
tnue the fight and carry it to the bitter end.
The men of one of the Tennessee regiments
in the 10th, we believe-alleged that they
were pressed into the rebel service. One
squad of men with whom we conversed said
that they were told that if they enlisted one
day. they would not be drafted the next
