MONTPELIER. JANUARY 81, 1862.
VERMONT ALLOTMENT SYSTEM.
"Perley," the Washington correspondent Of
the Boston Journal, writes as follows:
"Messrs Joseph Poland, J. B. Page aud John Howe,
Jr, Che latter brother Of Col Flank r. Ho"e) have
Commissioners lr securing the transmission OF 1olass

There are five regiments from Vermont now
in the service Of the United States, which, il
full, would number over 5000 men. These
men draw from the United States Treasury
Sl3 per month. and from the State Of Ner-
mont 81 per month, making the pay Of each
Vermont soldier $50 per month, or an aggre-
gate amount of s 800 600 per month. As the
payday is once in two months, the Vermont
soldiers receive each payday S200,000 OF
this sum the commissioners have succeeded
in securing the allotment Of $50, 600 for the
benefit of the soldiers or their families, leav-
ing 5 so 600 every two months in the hands
of the soldiers as a prey to the greedy suffers,
and this in many instances is undoubtedly
taken from families which need it for their
support, and who without it must receive aid
from the Treasury, at the expense Of the pee
pie of the State. Could the plunder Of the
suffers be abolished, we have no doubt the
allotments would have amounted to at least
twice and perhaps three times as much as
they have. The commissioners have doubt
less done the best that could be done, and
have secured as large an amount as it was
possible, under the counteracting influences
Of the suffers. But as this is matter in
which the people Of the State pecuniarily
interested, it is the duty Of al! having friends
in the Vermont regiments, to induce them TO
allot large share of their pay for the benefit
Of their families, or, in case they have no fam
lilies, for their own benefit after the war shall
have been closed. Above all, let universal
cry 60 up from Vermont to Congress in aid
Of Senator Wilson's move for the abolition o
suffers, or at least that they shall not be al.

finances Of the soldiers who are CALAMITY

Kansas men from New England to fgh as
well as the others, he replied, "a New Eng
land man, with a western education, is the
d--dest fellow alive" There is, in fact. no
doubt that the men OF Kansas do engage in
this war with a hatred and a ferceness found
nowhere else. The iron Of terrible personal
wrong has entered their souls and they feel
that the day Of rctribution has come.

there appeared in Washington a well-known
Louisville politician Of border state proclivlies,
who, seconded by Prentice and tie whole
pack of slave Unionists, commenced to
tear the footing from under Gen. Lane In
this there is no doubt that they were seconded
by the efforts OF the highest army officers who
TO day, TO say tie least care as much for slave
ry as they do tor the Union, and who, it is
generally thought, think much mere of .he
former than OF the latter. Gen. Lane hit at
slavery, and these people, keen ON the scent
oil what affects that institution, saw with half
glance how admirably planned was the Kan
sas soldiers campaign, 10 essentially and vi,

man.
1t is more than whispered that Hunter has
been used to accomplish this result l have
heard it claimed that the proofs are in the
hands OF friends at the capital, to the effect
that, eight days before Gen. Lane arrived
here letters had passed between high officials
there and here, IN which The ropes were laid
to hinder this expedition starting. Ii is even
claimed that the famous order of Gen. Hunter
was received by telegraph from Washington
These may he mere c0njectures, but many
circumstances point to them. When Gen. Lane
arrives III Washington there is no doubt that
the thing will be sitted thoroughly. Those
persons who believe that this man can be Ere

have convinced myself that Lane was the
worst deceived man who has left Washington
for some time past, and in that respect do not
agree with your special correspondent here,
who thinks the quarrel Il contrived plan be

with leading members of Lanes staff, they
have assured me that they made personal and
thorough investigation into the grounds of
their appointment, aud the expedition with
which they were To be connected, aud that one
and all were convinced oil the sincerity of Gen.
Lane and OF the certainty OF tine expedtionary
column being organized. Hon john Coyode
has stated publicly that he made the arrange

Lane, and the country generally will esteem

letters received from Washington, am con-
