The Presidents Recent General Order.

/
The Washington iattliigeacer of Wednesday.
says We recur TO the recent order of the Pre-
sdent of the United States enjoining due regard
for the sabbath in the Army and Navy chiefly
for the purpose Of stating that the true date Of
that ordor was the 18th instant (Saturday) in
stead of the 10th, as incorrectly given by clerical
error, and rs published in our paper on the l7th.
1t may notbe improper, however, to embrace the
occasion to state further that the imm ediate
influence with the President in issuing the order
was the suggestion of the New York Sabbath
Committee, who visited Washington for the puI-
pose of invoking such an order, and who, on
being introduced by Governor Morgan and stat
ing their errand, were met with 40 ready and
cordial response from the President that he
gave immediate instructions for its promulga-
ton
We doubt not that this general order Of The
President has been hailed with pleasure by every
christian and patriot in the mud, and will form
an interesting item in the history of this remark
able epoch. 1t shows that the christian senti-
ment OF the country is cherished and reflected bv
its Chief Magistrate, and we cannot doubt tbat
on the 2i'h instant, set apart So generally by
the States as a day of public Thanksgiving, this
order of the Chief Magistrate will be remembered
in thousands Of sanctuaries with deyout thank
fulness.

HAMPTON ROADS, March &c, 1862.

Dear Father and HOTTER Il take
this chance to write you few lines. We
arrived at this place last night When l
last wrote to you, we were near Alexan-
dria We left there last Sunday morning
and got on to the boat at about o'clock
p NJ, Just at dark we got out into the
river and anchored for the night We
had pretty good steamboat but was aw-
fully crowded. | went down into the
hold and slept, and had good nights
rest. Monday morning we started down
the river for Fortress Monroe. There
was not much to be seen, as we went
down the river, except Fort Washington
and Mount Vernon, which we could plain
ly see from the deck of the steamer. The
Potomac is very wide all the way from
Alexandria to the Chesapeake bay. In
some places it is or s miles wide. Mon
day night we anchored in the mouth of
the river, as the wind blew so hard that
the captain did not dare to 60 out into
the bay. Tuesday morning we started
and arrived at Fortress Munroe at p NJ.
We stopped at the Fortress little while
and then we started for Hampton Roads,
which are six miles beyond. We passed
through Hampton which was burnt by the
rebels. Every house was destroyed, and
should think by the looks of the walls
that are left standing that there were ma
ny fine houses, it must have been nearly
as large as Montpelier.
You may imagine my surprise when
we got here, to see the trees all leaved out
and everything looked as green as it does
in June in Vermont, and l saw quite a
number of wild flowers beside the road.
| saw the hull of the Congress, which
was burnt by the rebel steamer Merrimac.
There is a large number of war-ships here
and among them is the iron-clad Monitor;
she is funny looking thing and at a
distance she looks like plank lying on
the water. I can not stop to write any
more this time. l think we shall 60 into
battle soon, as we are within ten miles OF
Norfolk. My health is good
Yours &c., G. A. REED.

B- Sugaring does not seem to prosper
much as yet. But few have made any to
speak of. A great many have not yet
tapped their trees, and a large proportion
of those who have tapped, have not caught
sap enough to make collecting an object.
Mr.. Edgar Noyes, of this town, has made
more than any other person of whose op-
erations we have any knowledge. From
$50 trees he has made about l75 pounds.
One man in Stowe has made $50 pounds.
Unless we have different weather within
o week or two, we may as we'll conclude
that this years crop Of sweet will be very
light People, however, have made large
calculations on sugar making this spring
and many have supplied themselves with
tin sap buckets. Mr.. Wood, of Stowe
has furnished about 1000 this spring, and
Mr.. Page. of this place, has had as many
orders as he could we'll gil. Should PEG

A Rebel Scare.

A correspondent of the Chicago Times,
writing from Island No. 10, last week,
says:
The rebels had a magnificent scare yes
terday. The rising water has inundated
the banks of the rives and the whole sur
rounding country, and in many cases has
carried off fences and farming parapher-
MALTA of all kinds. In the present instance
the ravenous water seized upon small
farmhouse, and carried it of, body and
boots, and at an early hour in the morn.
ing it came floating past here with the
roof only visible above the surface. The
five mile current soon carried it into the
rebel lines, and they espying it, immedi-
ately concluded it must be some device of
Yankee ingenuity for doing mischief. If
this wasn't floating battery it must be
an internal machine, and if it wasn't an
internal machine it must be an immense
torpedo, or at least some cute invention
for running the blockade. So they open
ed upon it and sent shot and shell thick
and heavy around it. The old house
stood the bombardment bravely, and al
though pierced in hundred places, it
still Aoated calmly on, and fairly run the
gauntlet of all the batteries, when, fear
ing lest it should escape them, a brave
and venturesome body of secesh charged
upon it and boarded it. They climbed
upon the ridge of the roof sat astride
and peeped through the cracks. They
inserted their bayonets under the boards
and shingles and ripped them up, and
in the solitude of an imprisoned garrett
with. the turbulent waters bubbling with.
in few inches Of her feet, they found an
antiquated cat, whose serenity was undis
turbcd by the fearful race she had run
and whose only anxiety seemed to be tc
get out of her uncomfortable position
The details as given by a refugee were
ludicrous The rebels mourned large
amount of powder and shot wasted, and
nary Yankee circumvcntcl.

Sliding Down Hill.

That the good people of Woodstock .,
preciatc "good thing" the folov;a.
from the STANDARD, of last week. is o;,,
in evidence - ... aE.
Never within the memory of thatrn
pected individual, the oldest inbab;,..,,
has the snow-crust presented such att,,,
tions for all lovers of coasting, as with,
the past week. For several MORNINGS A.,
elevated bank rising westerly from Cb,,
Marsh's Meadow, just south of the T,,
Ground was the center of attraction
dies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Al,
ages were represented and all stations !,
society, from governors down. On Sat-
urday morning last the carnival was >,
its height. 1t was a sight we'll worth viz,
itiug to behold at least one hundred and
fifty men and women, boys and girls, Ner.
participating in the sport at one time
and the majority wore crinoline Sled,
of every description, size and finish from
the rudest pattern to the most elabor,te
and gilded finish, few, as it were, down
the hill, over the meadow, and away,
bearing sometimes a single person, some
times full load, just as the carriage
would best accommodate. Besides these
there were two large platform cars Or
two-horse sleigh runners,--the box being
taken of-and on these the ladies would
be packed in the most approved style, and
then with two gentlemen acting as pilots,
off they would go amid the cheers Of the
crowd, attended by scores of small sleds
in full pursuit.
Occasionally a slight accident would
happen, just enough to render the sport
exciting but as there were usually from
one to three physicians on the ground,
the wounded were we'll seen to. The clcr-
ical profession did not get the news soon
enough to be on hand, but the other pro.
fessions were we'll represented, and to all
appearance enjoyed the fun as we'll as the
best of them. That scene of Saturday
was an event to be remembered. If We
are to have any more such mornings and
such exhilaration, We advise the whol(
town to turn out, and the outsiders to turf

Still Onward.

Large bodies move slow, but when once Oh
the ground, they are not easily dislodged.
Our forces are steadily advancing on the
enemy at all points, and gradually CON-
polling them to abandon their works.
Though no hard fighting has taken place
recently, the indications are that only n
short time can elapse before we shall be
called upon to record the result of con.
test between larger bodies of troops than
have yet come in contact. The Spring.
field Republican of Monday says:
The present week bids fair to be one Of
exciting interest in military operations,
and the record will be of decisive impor.
lance to the Union cause. From the mea.
ger intelligence we are able to obtain, it is
evident matters are fast coming to head
both in Virginia and Tennessee, and that
the final struggle is at hand. The large
force which has lately been concentrated
at Fortress Monroe, is moving on York
town, and that is on the way to Rich
mond. There were various rumors al
Fortress Monroe on Saturday, of battle
and the capture and burning of Yorktown
later and official intelligence, however
announces only that our forces are within
live miles of the town. But now the fed.
eral army has started. its onward course
will be irresistible, and it looks very much
as though Gen. Mcclellan intended to
make good his promise to be in Richmond
by the 18th. In Tennessee the forces Of
Generals Grant and Buell. have united
and brisk skirmishing between our pick
cts and those of the enemy at Corinth
shows how near the armys are getting, and
that battle cannot much longer be de-
layed. There is a report that Beaure-
CARDS flank had been turned but it lacks
confirmation. Our success thus far seems
to be limited to the destruction of parts
of the railroad track leading to Memphis,
which the rebels soon repaired again
The force of the enemy is estimated at
from $4,000 to 100000 men. But our
army is equally large, well armed and
supplied, and our generals are confident Of
early and decided success FIJI
