occasion was most appropriate. The
friends of Lieut.. Thatcher also presented
him a sword at Barre, (his honey to
which he too responded most happily and
feelingly. Also, the Fire Engine Compa-
ny No. 5, presented a sword and belt to
Lieut.. Robinson, at East Montpelier, a
few days ago, and he made very fesling
and appropriate response on the occasion.
The scene on these various occasions was
most interesting and it showed that the
spirit of rs is yet alive among our
Green MountainS,an that the fire of patri
otism CLOVIS as brightly now as it did du-
during the Revolution.
Mr.. Walton, of the The Watchman ana
State Journal, has been spending several
weeks in Long Island for his health. He
returned last Wednesday, and l am hap

The usual preparations are being made
here for the coming session of our Legis-
lature, which will doubtless be one of the
most important that has assembled for
many years The present state of the

ton adapted to the occusion, for the good
of our beloved State and country. We
hope to see many Rutlanders here during
the session. S. A. A.

The people here, of all classes, male

ling school boy, are jubilant over the re-
cent victories in Maryland and elsewhere.
This patriotic joy is evident in every cir

think gratitude to God, and reioicings of
heart are no where felt more deeply than
in the Capital of the Green Mountain
State, among whose people are the sons

As an evidence of this, few days ago.

Mr.. EDITOR II would like to sug-
gest to your readers, and more especially
to the line officers OF the nine months reg
ments, now about nominating their Colo
nels and other field officers, the names of
Major Redfeld Proctor of Proctorsvills,
and Lieut.. Col. W. G. Veazey of the Sd
VT. Regiment, in connection with the
Colonelcy Of two of the new regiments.
Both are scholars and gentlemen, both
are graduates of Dartmouth College, both
are men of correct moral character, which
is much more than can be said of many
Colonels in our army, and both deserve
and are fully competent to command reg
iments.
Maj, Proctor left his law office in Bos-
ton, where he had entered into partnership
with ex-Chief. Justice Redield of this
State, and went out with the Sd Regiment
as Quartermaster. During the fall he
was appointed Major of the 9Th VT, which
place he was compelled to resign last
June on account of ill health occasioned
by exposure in the line of his duty. His
health is now restored.
Lieut.. Col. Veazey went out as Captain
of Co. A, in the Sd Vt. Regiment; was
promoted to Major land then to Lieut..
Colonel of that regiment, since which time
he has had command a great deal of the
time on account of the poor health of Col.
Hyde i; he has been Provost Marshal Of
Gen. Smiths division, and his Chief.of-
Staff, and had command of the 9Th VT,
the 18th New York, and his own regi-
ment, under fire, being actively engaged
throughout the whole Peninsular campaign
So meritorious were the services rendered
by him, that both Gen. Smith and Gen
Franklin voluntarily recommended him
for the command of one of our new regi-
ments. Knowing him, as I do both as a
soldier and in civil life, I am confident
that he is we'll deserving the universe
respect and esteem which not only the
men under him, but his superior officers
as well, have so freely accorded him.
And | all the more willingly, unso licit-
ed by them, call attention to these two
officers, from the fact that neither has nor
will of himself, do anything with a
direct view to obtaining the nomination
to the places mentioned z.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.

WARRINGTON, Sept. 10, 1862.

WASHINGTON, sept. ~, 1907.
EDITOR HERALD Enclosed I hand
you for publication the report of CON-
mittee appointed at a meeting of the
" General Relief Association of this
city, to inquire into abuses known to exist
in some of our hospitals. The committee
are still prosecuting their labors, and will
report from time % time. 1t is proper to
say that it is believed that badly conduc-
ted hospitals are the exception and not the
rule in this vicinity; that as a general rule
they are we'll conducted. The two hospi-
tails to which this report refers have been
the subjects of complaint for a long time,
and it was with special reference to them
that the committee was appointed.
Surgeon General Hammond has taken
hold of the matter in earnest, and will
soon have all these abuses corrected hav-
ing invited the cooperation of the Relief
Association Committee to that end.
Very truly yours,
JOHN OsGooD.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN PERKINs.-We
are much panied to learn that telegram
was received by his family at Castleton,
yesterday, announcing the sad intelligence
of the death of Captain Perkins of the
Rutland County company, Vermont Cav
airy. The particulars are not yet known
beyond this, that he was shot Yesterday
while at the head of his company, in a
skirmish some where not very far from
Washington.
Since writing the above, we are in
formed by our telegraphic dispatches, that
Capt. Perkins was killed in an engage
ment between a brigade of our cavalry
and the fifth Virginia at Ashby's Gap of
the Blue Ridge, during reconnaissance
made by the former to that place.
1t will be further noticed that de-
tachment of the Vermont Cavalry greatly
distinguished itself upon the OCCASION
There was no other loss in the regiment,
The melancholy satisfaction can thus be
afforded the family of Capt. Perkins. of
knowing that he fell while himself and
men were CALAMITY fighting in their coun-
try's cause. -..

At an adjourned meeting of this Asso
citation held last Wednesday night, DR.. H
j. Alvord, from the committee appointed

that the committee had met and thinking
the committee was too large to wait OF
the Surgeon General, had appointed 8
sub committee, who had performed thai
duty and he submitted the following re.
port:
The undersigned, sub committee, ap.
pointed by the committee of one from
each State to investigate hospital abuse:
and to confer with the Surgeon General
in relation thereto, in obedience to our in
structions we have the honor to report:
That on Tuesday, the 18th inst, they
waited on the Surgeon General at his of.
flee and were there very cordially receiv-
ed by him and the members of his staff.
Your committee proceeded TO lay before
the Surgeon General such abuses as had
come to their knowledge. In relation TO
the hospital at Judiciary Square, the Sur
geon General had previously had his at.
tention called to this hospital by a CON-
plant from the Michigan Association, and
had caused an investigation to be made in
relation thereto by Inspector MuzzJ :,
whose report thereon, as read to us by the
Surgeon General, fully established the
charges made against the diet of that hos
pital. The report of Inspector Muzzy
shows the " bill of fare at this hospital
to have been as follows:
Breakfast - Very poor coffee, slightly
sweetened; five ounces OF bread.
Dinner-Vegetable soup, one half pint;
five ounces of bread.
Supper-Very poor tea, and five oun-
ces of bread, slightly buttered.
In the soup there was boiled two oun-
ces of meat for each man.
This report also reveals another fact,
viz: that, added to the enormity of swim
ding our gallant soldiers out of their
proper food, q false diet list ,Oas kept for
public inspection.
The report further shows that the
amount of butter per msu averages only
about one pound monthly.
Five pounds of coffee is boiled in forty
gallons of water, to which ten gallons
more is afterwards added. So much for
diet at Judiciary Square.
In relation to Carver Hospital, the Sur
geon General informed your committee
that an investigation had revealed the
fact that that hospital has been in most
shocking state of uncleanliness, the details
of which were most disgusting; and that
on being informed of this fact, he had re-
moved the surgeon in charge and appoint
ed more competent man in his place.
The Surgeon General also informed
your committee that he should cause a
thorough inspection of all hospitals with a
view TO correct all existing abuses; and
