in the hand. They did not see much of

crossed the creek, we lost 50 in killed

the killed and wounded, for do not know
them all. There were none you knew
except Lorin Flood who had ball put
through his leg below the knee.
The 9th regiment tried to cross the
creek after we did, and got cut up pretty
badly, but did not make out to cross.
The health Of the brigade is very good.
We are lying in sight of the rebels, and
have breastworks and rife pits which we
made in the night right under their noses.
All are within rife shot of their forts,
and in plain sight in the day time. Our
cannon play on them when they make a
movement, and our sharpshooters lie
around and pick off the first man who
shows his head. We have not got our
pay yet, but we expect it e. cry day.
But cannot write any more this time.
| can tell you all when get home.
From your brother,

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.

There has been much said in the pa
pers, and by individuals about the fam
Gus charge Of the Vermont boys upon
the enemy's rife pits and batteries at
Yorktown. The frDt reports OF the tel
egraph said that the charge was led by
Lieut.. Whittemore, and "whose praise Is
In everybody's mouth" This is mis-
take or an intended ialseLood, the effect
of which is to rob the real hero O. bis
lsurels. Capt. +. c. Harrington. Of the
Charleston company 3D. is the person
who deserves the credit, which has been
awarded TO Lieut.. Wbiuemore. This is
well authenticated. We have heard it
from several unquestionabe sources, but
the following from Lieut.. Z. II, Bartlett
is better proof still, as he was an eye
witness Of the whole charge aud retreat
OF the Vermont boys, and therefore had
the very best opportunity to know;
AT about a quarter to p. NJ, com
panios E, D, f, and X, were ordered to
cross the creek. They went over, drove
the rebels from their works, and oy a
bold and desperate struggle, entered the
second line Of rife pits.
can't tell who was most deserving Of
rraise, for all did their duty well-nojly.
Capt. Harrington was the senior officer
Of the four companies, and had com
mand. Capt. Pingrey was second in
command.
Capt. Pingrey, Capr. Bennett, Lieut.,
Buck, Lieut.. Whiltemore, aud Lieut.
Chandler are all highly compIimented.
II was Lieut.. Buck who led the charge
into the rife pits, calling loudly for re-
serre 6riqade. T!is, 0! course, was only
to deceive the enemy, for he knew there
was no reserve to be sent them. BY
this time our boys were entirely out Of
ammunition.
Buck was followed ty Lieut.. White
more and few others. These few put
two or three hundred Of the rebels to
fight. Just then the order came to tall
back. This charge pat the enemy in
such disorder that our men got half way
back before he could rally"
Lieut.. Buck who so successfully played
the Yankee trick of calling for the re
serve brigade" is also Charleston boy,
and taking all things together Orleans

Portus Baxter.

The following, written by lady cor
respondent of the Springfield Repubd-
can, is the best portrait Of Mr.. Baxter
ttHt could possibly no dr~~n. IL !,
done by master hand. His most in
timate acquaintauces could not pant
him better. Honest, un;ring, large
hearted, impetuous or cool, according to
circumstances, be is the very man for tie
times, aud be would make himself pop
uar in any position in which he might
be placed.-ED
ole istall aud vigorously formed, like
m ,st Vermonters, with face and move
ment indicative Of a strong nervous tenn
permanent. Like all people Of highly
wrought nerves, and deep feeling, Mr..
Baxter is enthusiastic, some men would
say a man of extremes. Bot fortunate
ly his extremes all ron in the tight di-
recton. in behalf Of liberty and human
ity. A man slow TO condemn, because
he prefers to think well Of men, yet
hearty in denuucaton, when convinced
that it is deserved. He is generous, yes,
munifcent in praise he invests the viz
tues of other men with the glow Of his
own unselfsh admiration. No selfish
personal comparisons, no innate fear That
he himself may suffer from contrast,
stints the measure Of his appreciation of
others. The snraking, suaky shut
which creeps into most persons COM
mendatons of another, he djsdains.-
You are 70 be iauded or denounced, and
that honestly and unresrrvrdlY. IT he
denonnces you, you may be sure he does
so because he thinks that you deserve it,
not from any personal enmity; if he felt
this he would keep still. lie is superior
to all petty envy and jealousy, and to say
this, add say it truthiully, is awarding
the highest praise which can be bestowed
upon a public man in Washington. Mr..
Baxter is not ashamed to let his eyes
water over the heroic suffrringS Of the
Vermont boys at Yorktown. for they are
dear to him rs children. Yet he would
have them nothing else than ready, ave,
eager to fight, and If needs be, die. His
own sons, who are in the army, he would
wish no where else than before York
town. ale wants them wi ere there Is
work to he done" You look at him and
feel sure that the old patriotic fire has
not gone out, that it has not even waned.
You know that this man would not hold
his blood dear for the sake Of his country.
With such fathers. such sons. the braves,
what cause for faith have we in the words
of our last hero. Deeds of the heroic
and chivalric times do not diSdain our
day. Men are as ready to callop and
strike not only for love, bu; for liberty
now, as in the age Of Amadis.'

| got the range the third shot; theirs is
still bad-nearly all too high. We shot
down their flag three times the other day.
| will give Wheeer's battery the credit
of that. Johnson,tho commander of this
branch OF their army, sent by flag OF
truce a message TO the effect that they
would give him the position providing he
would let them march out with the hon
ors of war. He said "No" We are
just now in a lovely spot; dry land, good
water; but the country all around is flat
and wet-cannot get our battery along
except when we have new roads. 1t is
nearly as easy making them as clearing
out the old ones. They left them full OF
trees, destroyed all bridges, &c. They
have a fine and easy position to defend,
calculated, one would think, for nothing
else. We are OF the old Revolutionary
ground-strange, is it not, that we should
be fighting on the same spot to restore our
country 10 the peace that our fathers lost
their lives to gain for us. So it is.
| would like to tell you how many men
there are in the grand army of the Poto-
mac, but as ] do not know, it is out OF
the question. For guess, l would say
between tyo and three hundred thousand.

Baton Rouge, which it appears has
been taken by our forces, is the capital
of Louisiana. 1t is situated on the Mis-
sissippi, about one hundred and twenty
miles above New Orleans. 1t was re-
ported last summer that the place was
strongly fortified, but Commodore Far
ragut has ere this impressed the rebels
with wholesome fear of his gunboats.
The capture of this place is OF great
importance. 1t is in the heart Of the
cotton region. Doubtless a large guam
tity Of military stores have fallen into
our hands as the rebel steamers, with
troops, stores, ordnance and specie, which
left New Orleans on the eve of its sur
render, were expected to find here a city
Of refuge. We presume that Commo-
dore Farragut had been released from
the guardianship Of the city by the ar
rival of Gen. Butler, and made MI haste
to follow up the rebels. We should not
be surprised to hear from him at Mem
phis.-Bost0n Journal.
