RECRUITS FOR OLD REGIMENTS. The
new law authorizing the President to call
out the militia, contains the following
section -
Sec. 4. Be 1t further enacted, That
for the purpose of filling up the regiments
of infantry now in the United States SER
vice, the President be, and he is hereby
authorized to accept the services of vol
unteers in such numbers as may be pre-
sented for twelve months, if not sooner
discharged. And such volunteers, when
mustered into the service, shall be in all
respects upon a footing with similar
troops in the U, S. service, except as to
service bounty, which shall be $50, one
half ofwhich to be paid upon their joining
their regiments, and the other half at the
expiration of their enlistment.
From this it will be seen that where a
man enlists in an old regiment, he has to
serve only one year, and is paid therefor
bounty of $50-half Of it in cash upon
joining, and the other at the expiration Of
his enlistment. The old regiments require,
on an average, at least 400 men to fill
them up to the maximum standard.

ACCOUNTABILITY. w. E. Bogart,
CT Weybridge, is appointed Chaplain to
the 10th Regiment. The Middlebury
Register says of him:
Mr.. Bogart is young man, but during
his ministry he has proved himself an ac
ceptable and very efficient pastor. With.
out neglecting his pastoral duties he has
for months past entered vigorously into
the work of raising recruits, and rendered
in this capacity important service. The
regiment we feel assured will find him an
acceptable and useful chaplain.

July "a, 1862.
EDITOR HERALD:
1t is now one o'clock in the morning, and |
as sit watching the poor sick fellows have
wondered whether their friends at home are
thinking of their suffering but ] have no
need to wonder fer know they are. Each
day we bury three or four poor fellows. The
hospitals here are filling up very fast with
soldiers from McCelan's army. The poor
fellows are well cared for. We have faith
full nurses, among whom are a few ladies'
When they first come they are very tired,
but they soon get over that and take hold
with will, and do everything in their power
for the sick and wounded. Most of the hos
pital buildings are fixed up in good shape.
There has been continual roaring OF
heavy guns up the river all night To.mor-
row we shall hear Of an engagement OF some
/ kind. ..........t - e.. ... .....
Yesterday | spent some time at the steam
boat landing. There were boats coming in
and boats going out, some going up and some
going down the river. The troops are pour
ing into this place every day. Yesterday
two regiments came in, and there is hardly
day but some regiment comes in from north
or south. There is going to be some terrible
hot work before great while, and you can
depend that somebody is going to get hurt,
for they have carried some large guns and
several kegs of powder up the river towards
the rebel city of Richmond. Yesterday we
sent battery up to Yorktown to look after
the Federal interest in that direction.
How long is this war to last Will it be
over in q year, or is it to last longer, or shall
we never see the end of this accused rebel
lion There should be troops enough in the
field by this time to put it down. Why are
so many troops lying idle when there is work
to be done? for one have seen enough Of
it. Why can it not be put down at once and
have 1t done with? Richmond can be tax en-
to-day as well as year from now The Ion
ger we wait the stronger the enemy becom
Why not make bold dash and have it done
WITH After all I suppose don't know any
thing about the affair. We find out more about
the war here on the James River through
: the papers from the North than we know or
g hear from those that are on the spot and have
hand in it. How do the editors get the
= news so soon
= l will now close, as the time has come to

CoNsIsTENcY.-The Rutland Herald and
Bellows Falls Argus are terribly exercised,
even to the shedding of crocodile tears, be-
cause the Administration Convention at
Montpelier did not adopt resolution spe-
cially thanking Gen. Mcclellan and recog-
nizing him as the most brilliant officer the
world ever saw. That Convention adopted
unanimously a resolution expressive ofthanks
and gratitude to "our brave and patriotic
soldiers in the field who have so nobly per-
llled their lives for the country and her
cause" The people will duly appreciate
this complaint when we inform them that
both of the editors of these papers were at
the Bellows Falls convention, and neither
they nor that Convention had one word,
vote or resolution, exprAaa;ua of oypap Athy
regard for any officer or soldier in the SER
vice of the country. They would be glad,
judging from the proceedings of that Conven-
ton, to see every one of our armies defeated,
and our brave and patriotic soldiers cut Oft
by traitors and rebels rather than that the
rebellion should be put down and treason
punished.
Our readers can family imagine our feel
ings when we first read the above in the
Brattleboro Phoenix. In our Indignation
the author of the libel being absent-we just
