From the Vermont Cavalry.

CAMP HARRIS, Annapolis, Nd, Jan. 1861.
EDITOR FREEMAN Thinking perhaps you
might like to hear from the Vermont boys, l
take the liberty to write you line concerning
them. We are very comfortably situated at
present in camp, about two miles from Annap-
oils. We are in the Harris brigade. There are
about sixteen regiments encamped In and around
Annapolis. All of the eglments near here ex-
cept ours are expected to 90 with Gen. burn
sides expedition, which will start soon. We
do not expect to 60 with the expedition for the
reason that we have not yetreceiyed our carblnes
or pistols All we have to defend ourselves
with is our sabres and am afraid we could not
do very good execution with them unless VIC arc
better drilled than at present. The weather
has been delightful until within few days. 1t
has been as warm and pleasant as September in
Vermont, but for few days past it has been
pretty cold, good deal like the winter in Yer
mont Friday morning of last week the ground
was covered with snow for the first time this
season, but there IS scarcely any remaining now.
The health Of our men is good, better than it
was in Vermont, as the men are less subject to
colds than they were while in Burlington OK
posed to the lake breezes. Major Collins has
been very sick, but is now recovering. We are
just now occupied IN building barracks for
our horses We have los, quite a number since
leaving Vermont, most of which died while We
were in Washington in consequence of being ex
posed to the rain, and having damp, claycy
ground to lie on. Seven died in one night
while We we're in Washington but we have lost
but one, believe, since we cAme to Anna polls
We are all anxious to receive our arms, 50 that
VIC can 60 on an expedition soon. We have not
yet been paid off, but we expect to be very
soon. Major Bartlett makes fine officer, and
is quite popular with the boys. His vile and
little boy are in camp with him. To day VIC
have had religious exercises in our camp, con-
Quoted by our Chaplain, who Is a good man
and greatly respected by the whole regiment
But fear have already trespassed too much
on your patience, 50 will close.
Yours truly,

CoTroN.-It will be singular to see our tacto-
~ corporations importing American cotton from
Liverpool but at this present time orders arc
there for full fifty thousand bales which is nearly
quarter Of the whole stock on hand. Some of
it will come to the James Mill of this city some
to Salem, and one of the Lewiston mills has ac-
tually sent the specie to pay. Probably twenty
thousand bales are on the way, and the rest
will shortly be, unless the price advanced by
the release of Mason and Slidell, Or the British
Government should take measures to proven.
its expectation. 10 the belief that war was 10
ensue and the blockade Of tho Southern coast
could be raised, the price of cotton was so low
at Liverpool at last dates, that it could be pur
chashed there and delivered at the factories here
for ten cents pound less than the New York
price. We think the surrender of the rebel
emss1ries, as putting off the cause of war, will
increase the demand for American cotton and
enhance its value. They have plenty of India
cotton, but 1t does no, answer for fine work. Ii
can be worked into cordasc, duck, OF very
coarse goods, with a better variety bu, it does
no, answer for other goods, nor is i, ye, evident
that india is capable of producing good sta
pie, For the present cotton is king as much as
ever, and it can only be obtained in quantities
to supply the demand for the United States.
