main one and indivisible forever.
Resolved, That if any person in the employ
ment of the United States, in either the Legis-

make peace, or should accept or advise the
acceptance of any such proposition, on any
other basis than the integrity and entire unity
of the United States and their territories as
they existed at the breaking out Of the rebel

Resotoed, That no two governments can
ever be permitted to exist within the territory
now belonging to the United States, and which
acknowledged their jurisdiction at the time of
the instruction.

THE WILL OF WASHINGTON STOLEN, AND
SoLD TO THE BRITISH MUsEUm.-It was
stated at meeting of the New York Historic
al Society, on Tuesday evening, that the will
of Washington, which was stolen some time
since on the advance of our army into Virgin
ia, has been sold to the British Museum !
This will was originally deposited in Fairfax
Court House, where it lay in the archives up
to few months since. The dlction and writ
ing was Washngton's exclusively it was the
last production of his pen, and gave evidences
of those traits of character which won for
him immortality. He placed his signature
at the end of every page, and distinctly stated
that the will was devised by himself When
our troops captured Fairfax Court House the
will, with other valuable documents was stolen.
The fact of its sale is vouched for by Mr..
Moore, the Secretary of the ASTORIA Soci-
ETY..

HEApoAURTERs l4TH VT. REGIMENT, }
Camp near Occoquan Creek, Virginia, !
Nov. Both, 1862.

DEAR HERALD perhaps you have before
this heard of the movements of part OF our
brigade. The 18th, together with the 18th
and 18th Vermont Regiments, received ord, rs
on the Oath inst, at about eight o'clock In the
evening, TO get ready to march AT a moments
warning. At about nine o'clock the reg lment
was ordered to fall in, and but few moments
elapsed before the 18th was in line, every man
in light marching order and supple with one
DAYS rations. 1t was very dark night, and
rained slightly. Col. Nichols, after thanking
US for our promptness, ordered US forward
We halted awhile at Col. Bunt's quarters,
and then, forming in with the 18th and 18th,
took mp our line of march for some place UNI
known to any one in the ranks. 1t being very
dark and muddy, our march was very slow.
We marched until about four o'clock in the
morning, when the column halted and was Or
dered to stack ms and rest. We built
FIRE to dry ourselves and lay down 10 rest, ma
king ourselves as comfortable as possible
When daylight came we found we were within
six miles of Fairfax Court Eouse, and at eight
O'Clock in the forenoon We resumed our march,
our place of destination being still mystery
to us. We halted again one mile the other
side Of the Court House to take dinner, after
which we again took Up our line Of march
At Fairfax Station we again halted and pitch
ed our tents-such as we carry when on the
march. We rested well that night being ia
tgued by our marching. Atabout ten o'clock
the next morning we resumed our march, each
man being again supplied with one days ra-
tions of hard bread. We marched until about
noon, when the regiments separated, the 18th
being ordered to Its present camp, and the 18th
and 18th off 10 another direction, towards Bull
Run. The frst night of our arrival here the
18th was formed in line of battle about mid.
night, firing being heard near by which sg-
nallet the approach of the enemy. You can
hardly conceive with what alacrity the regi-
ment formed; our officers praised US highly.
The firing proved not to proceed from the ene-
my, however. We have part of battery of
artillery with US, and also squad of cavalry
which 60 on: scouting every day. The LIST
Mass. and Goth Penn. are encamped not far
from US. We are encamped on the road over
which Sickles' brigade passed a week ago
He ha, passed ON to Fredericksburg. We are
in sight Of the Bull Run field, where that ever
memorable battle took place. The object for
which we ca1e here is not known to me. The
weather is mild and comfortable. We are
put on drill every day so as to perfect Ourselves
as Far as possible in the art of war. Tho 18th
will never be found wanting.
Yours, &c, J. C. w.

Thanksgiving Day.
TWO SEATS AS EVER, MOTHER.

Whsn, the sun was wooing the valleys
In tho budding days of spring;
When thu icy chain was breaking
And tnp crooks began 10 sing;
There went f,om the granite mountains
Twin hearts as true as steel,
Two brothers pledged to each other,
Aud pledged TO their oountry's veal
As they lett the little brown cottage
With only thor mother there.
0 what prayerst hey uttered TO Heaven
Fora Fathers blessing and care'
They fingered in tears but moment,
Imploring strength from above;
Then left but this wish with their mother,
This word of remembrance and love;
when the months roll round again, mother,
To another Thanksgiving day;
As you sit by the old hearth-stone, mother,
And think of your boys away,
No matter what happens to us, mothor,
What happens 10 soldier men,
Let there be two seats ever,
For me and brother Ben.
The months have passed in their circuit
To another Thanksgiving day,
And the brother braves from the Granite State
Have passed in death away;
But the mother sits by the hearthstoue
IA she promised months ago,
Ere her boys were stricken down for aye
Where the crimson rivers flow;
And the vacant chairs beside her,
Remind Of tn esoldier men,
ssLet there be two seats ever,
For me and brother Ben"
Wherever the sad hearts gather
On this strange Thanksgiving day,
AS they sit by the hearthstone thinking
Let them hear the brave boys say:
''No matter what happens TO us, mother,
What happens to soldier men,
Let there be two seats as ever
For me and brother Ben p

DEATH or MEMBER OF THE LEGsLh-
ruRE.-Iion, Nathaniel Weed, Representative
from Hartland, died last Monday evening in
Montpelier. His health had been feeble for
some months, but he had been able to attend
al his place in the State House every day, and
was in his seat on Monday as usual. He did
not, however, 60 to the State House to the
evening session, but was sitting in his room
talking, and appearing as we'll as usual, when
he suddenly fell back and died instantly. 1t
Is thought thai his death was caused by dis
4 ease of the heart. n-.E
The UNION HIoH ScHooL.-The Annual
Fall Examination of the several classes of this
school commenced with the present week and
continued till Wednesday noon, under the su-
pervision Of an examining committee. The
afternoon of Wednesday was occupied with
3 Rhetorical Exercises aud Singing by the pup Is,
and formed an agreeable close of the Fall
Term, Although there was quite goodly
number of spectators present, we regret that
wore were not there. The examination was
conducted fairly and impartially, and reflected
much credit upon both teachers and pupils
We think that this school is one Of the chef
attractions and most useful institutions Of our
village, and assure the friends of education that
frequent calls at tho school rooms during the
q exercises will be found both useful and
agreeable.
The records of the school, kept by the prin-
eipal, show the scholarship, number of demer-
its, absences, &C., of each pupil. During the
term just closed, SO pupils out of l03 have no
dement's Let parents see to it that no remis-
ness of theirs defaces the record of their chill
dren who attend the school. Among the ex-
ercises particularly commendable, were the
drawing of maps by the pupils, and Rotations
3 in Geography, Geometry, Algebra and Latin.

Gen. Grant informs the War Department
that the Rebels deserted their Notifications al
Abbeville on the I'd inst destroying all the
stores they could not carry away with them.
Some of our cavalry swan the Tallahatche
and occupied the place the same night, and on
the Sd pursued the retreating Rebels as far as
Oxford, twenty-nine miles below Holly
Springs, when some skirmishing took place
with their rear guard, resulting in the capture
of sixty Rebels. Our forces were to continue
the pursuit.

were under way, under command Of Col. F,V.
Randall, Of the 18TH as senior ColCnel IL
was piehy dark and raj when tho 1ovs ,el;
yet the camp resounded with cheers as they
took up their line Of march.
The 18th and 9Th are now at Union Mills,
and the l4th is about 5 miles farther south on
the Occoquan--distant from Camp Vermont
nearly so miles, How long they are 10 rc-
main there, whether they will return or We
shall move on to join them are questions upon
which it is folly TO speculate.
In the absence of these three regiments, the
18th and 10th have to do the entire picket du-
ty ofthe brigade. As over five hundred men
are thus employed at ono time, and as the
term of duty for such detaihis AS hours, 1t can
readily be perceived that but little else can DO
done Just now This morning the turn of the
10th comes, and Captains Ball, Mason and
Foster, with suitable portion of lieutenants
sergeants, corporals, etc, are designated for
this service.
The detail for picket reports at 7;30 a. M,
and will arrive in camp about 10 O'Clock pm,
on Monday. On the picket line game is more
plentiful than the Rebels, offering strong in
ducements TO some Of the sons of Nimrod TO
violate their most important instructions. The
chief duty of the pickets in this region is to
examine the passes of those who travel on the
roads, and as one Of the avenues guarded
leads TO Mtuut Vernon, there are some days
many persons to be halted and papers exam

"A report from Falmouth states that the
rebels have been attempting to post pckets
near our lines on the right, but that they were
driven back by judiciouS display of force of
cavalry and infantry. The rebel force was
not large and did not offer to dispute the
ground, .".. 81.
The War Department has caused the ar
rest of Maj, Spaulding of the 50th New York
Engineer Volunteers, and other officers who
were with him for the detention Of the pontoon
train, intended for Gen. Burnside's use in
crossing the Rappahannock at Falmouth, and
of which they were in charge. n
Gen. Banks expedition will be the most
formidable ofany that has yet been sent against
the South 1t consists Of upwards Of 10000
men. No one knows its destination, outside
of official circles.
Whether the Presidents recommendations
as contained in his message be wise or unwiSe,
it is generally conceded that in considering
the present condition of the country, the Presi-
dent has taken large view, entirely above the
little makeshifts of the cay, and that like the
true statesman, he seeks broad policy which
shall embrace and protect the future as well
as the present.
1t is urged with much reason that spe-
cial ambulance corps should be organized, to
bear the wounded to the rear and to insure to
them immediate surgical aid. 1t is said that
such corps has been organized for Gen.
