THE TWENTY-FIVE REGIMENT. - The
Pawtucket Gazette and Chronicle has a letter
from member of the twenty-fitth Massachu-
sets regiment, dated June 9th, in which the
writer says Our regiment has from the
first been healthy Twenty-six only have
died-twelve on the battle field and fourteen
from sickness. When we left Worcester we
had one thousand and thirty men. The regi-
ment sends home quite large sum Mt each
pay day. The adjutant has accommodated the
regiment very much by his arrangement of
giving checks payable in Worcester, thereby
saving considerable to the regiment that
would have to be paid as express charge. The
last three payments the adjutant has received
$4,000 or more at each payment besides
what is sent by soldiers going north on fur
lough."

CLINToN.-The Clinton Courant states, that
in the early part of the week, from one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty acres of wood
land were burned over in the north westerly
part of Clinton, about three-quarters of a
mile from the Catholic burying ground. The
amount of loss occasioned it is yet impossible
to estimate with any approximation to accura-
cy, but it is probably very heavy, though sus-
tanned by several individuals.
Rev. w. w. Winchester, of the congrega.
tional church, in Clinton, has resigned his
position, and is soon to enter new field of
labor in Washington, in the capacity of chap
lain in one of the hospitals in that city.

FAIR OAKS, near Richmond, Va,
June 10, 1862.

His Ercellency John 4. Andrep: SIR
Now that the smoke of the battle field has
cleared away, l cannot forbear taking the OPP
portunity to testify to the gallant, soldierly
conduct of the fifteenth regiment of your
troops, in our late contest, the bloodest of the
war. 1t was their fortune to be participants
in real, not imaginary, bayonet charge,
made upon the most intrepid and daring of
the rebel forces, and at a critical moment
for our cause. Most nobly and calamity did
they honor themselves and their gallant,
state, and most proudly may she feel over
them. With such troops in the field we are
invincible, and the result of this contest with
an unholy rebellion cannot be doubtful l
wish. sir, in conclusion, that the history of
the fifteenth Massachusetts volunteers may be
made part of the history Of the. state, as asso-
ciated with one of the most brilliant exploits
of the war which the official report will soon
disclose to your excellency-to whom l refer
with pride and satisfaction.
| have the honor to be your Excellency's

4 Bold and Stirring Address.

WASHINGTON, July IA. 1852.
To.thc Officers and Soldiers OF the Army OF Va.
By special assignment Of tho President of
the United States Iha7e assumed command
Of this army. I haye spent two weeks in
learning your Whereabouts, your condition
and your wants, in preparing you for active
operations and in placing Sou in positions
from which you can act promptly and to the
purpose.
Iha7e come to you from the West, where
We hare always seen the backs Of our eneulies
from an army whose business has been to
seek tie adversary, and to beat hin when
found; whose policy has been attack and not
defense. In but one instance has the enemy
been able to place our western army in a
defensive attitude. I presume that hive
been called here TO pursue the same system
ard to lead you against the enemy It Is my
purpose to do SO, and being sure you long for
IN opportunity to win the distinction you are
capable Of achieving, that opportunity shall
! endeayor to give you
Meantime desire you to dismiss from you1
minds certain phrases which I am sorry ta
| find much in vogue amongst you. I hear con-
stantiy Of taking the strong positions ani
| holding them, of lines Of retreat and losse:
| Of supplies. Let us discard such ideas, The
{ strongest position soldier should desire tt
| occupy is one from which he can most easil]
| advance against the eneulv.
LIT Us study the probable line OF retreat o
our opponents, and leave our own to taxi
care Of itself. Let US look before US, and no
behind. Success aud glory are in the advance
while disaster and shame lurk IN the reaz
Let us act on tlis understanding, and it i
sate to predict that your banner shall be in
seribed With many glorious deed, aud tina
your names will be dear to your countryne
forever. (Sigued) JOIN Pore,
