among the deputaiion there was distin-

cation made of it by the president. When
he was iu,r' duced to Mr. Lincoln, he sim
ply remarked, Mr. President have come
to tell you that think we have got to Fox

remark in an instant, and laughed heartily
over it. Was there not good sense in it as

The Vermont Ninth.

We have seen a letter from an officer
of the Vermont Ninth. They were
in the battle previous to the surrender at
Harper's Ferry. and exposed to a tremen-
regiment was injured Jackson surrounded
them while on his way out of Maryland,
with force of rs 900.
The contest commenced on Saturday, the
18th, with artillery, and Continued through
the day. The 9th was on the left of the
entire command, supporting Capt Righy's
battery, to prevent the enemy from hanking
them on the left. He says ave
marched out about two miles Sunday p NJ,
but the enemy did not like the style, and
only attacked our pickets; night came on
and ended the scenes of that day. Monday
morning came, and with the first dawn,
opened seven batteries of she'll ball ard
canister on Rigby's battery, whose range
was directly in our range.
Iiltb W iiltii al, Hiil uldIliully.
and continued to do so until the ammunition
was spent. At that time the 9th was the
only regiment that had not skedaddled from
the field For two hours we laid under the
most murderous fire that was ever witness
ed. But God was with US : not one.of our
reg 'ment was hurt. Shells and shot rained
on all sides Of US, but the praciiced eye Of
our Colonel watched well the range, and
kept us all out of it. can only say in ex-
PLANTATION of our wonderful escape, that
God and Col. Stannard was with Us. When
the battery played out, flag of truce was
raised, and then the 9Th marched off the
field in good order"
The entire command was at once pa
rolled, and they reached Frederick Wednes-
day, the 18th, where his letter was written.
What was to be done with them, he did not
know at the time of writing.

whole field the rebel loss was found to be
far greater, particularly in killed, than was
at first supposed Fully $500 were found
lying on The field, while larger number
had been buried the day before by their
friends. The loss in killed and wounded
will not come Car from $1,000 to 10000.
Gen. Stark of the rebel army was killed,
and Generals Ripley, Walker and Hayes
we're wounded. The citizens of Sandy
Hook were fl eng into the country on
Thursday night 10 escape being carried in
to Virginia. Large details Of men were
made Saturday morning to bury the re-
manning dead which have become offensive,
The troops are all in excellent spirits over
the result. The rebels are still visible on
the opposite side in force. They have post
ed large amount of artillery to prevent
our troops from crossing the river. The
officers of this army are unanimously of
the opinion that Gen. Hooker, for his gal
lantry and bravery, should be made brig
aier general in the regular army--made
vacant by the death of Gen. Mansfield.

| EMANcIPATIoN.---A VISIT TO THE
| PREsIpESr.-The Rev. Dr. Patton of Chi
cago, with several other clergymen from
the same city. waited upon the President
few days since, to present respectful
memo rial upon the subject of slavery. The
Washington correspondent of the Spring
| field Republican gives the following account
of the meeting: The memorial asked for
immediate emancipation. Mr.. Lincoln re-
ceived the delegation cautiously and grave
ly, and told them that the subject lay near
his heart, that he had spent many anxious
hours over it, and still he would frankly
tell them that he was not fully convinced
that the hour had come for an emancipation
proclamation. He had serious doubts, and
the question to be decided was of such vast
consequence, that he did no, dare yield to
the persuasions or opportunities of anybody.
until he was fully persuaded in his own
mind that the very best thing to be done was
TO declare the overthrow Of slavery by proc
lamaiion. As / understand it, he confessed
| to the gentlemen present that he would yet
come to just what they ask--that the gov
eminent would yet be compelled, by the ia.
natieism of the rebels, to turn and destroy
slavery. This, however. was bis individu-
al opinion, and did not affect the immediate
| question before them, Of whether il was adj
visable no,c to issue an emancipation proc
lamation. Mr.. Seward says frankly to his
friends, that he is entirely opposed to such
policy at present.
i A good story is toll of Mr. Lincoln in
connection with the visit of this delegation.
Sometime last winter an old clergyman Of
Springfield, ILL.,, a friend of the president
: came on here and was the guest of Mr.
Lincoln. Selling favorable opportunity
! the clergyman asked the president, " hat
sir, is to be your policy on the slavery ques
. tion? Tue president was little dashed
5 by the suddennrss of the question. Lut h,

The VERMONT TRooPs IN THE LATE
BATrLE.-In the late battle near Sharps-
burg the conduct of the Vermont troops is
everywhere spoken of in the highes terms
Of praise. A certain cornfeld had been the
object of the most desperate fighting
throughout the day, and had been taken
and retaken many times during the day BY
both sides. The slaughter had been i'm
mense, and at the crisis Gen. Franklin
came up with fresh troops, among whom
was the Vermont brigade. The 7riban
correspondent, describing this scene, says
Slocum was sent forward along the slope.
lying under the first ranges Of the division
of rebel hills, while Smith was ordered t,
retake the cornfelds and woods which al
| day had been SO holly contested. 1t wa
done in the handsomest style. His Maine
and Vermont regiments and the rest wen
forward on the run, and, cheering as they
went, swept like an avalanche through the
cornfelds. fell upon the woods, cleared then
in ten minutes, and held them.
The field and its CHASTITY harvest which
the reaper had gathered in those fatal hour,
remained finally with us.
The dead are strewn SO tbickly that a,
you ride over it you cannot guide your hor.
SEES steps too carefully.
Gen. Smiths attack was so sudden tina
his success was accomplished with no grea
loss.
Thus this field, so often taken and re
taken during the day, with such obstinate
and fearful carnaee, was finally taken BY
Smiths division of Franklins corps, il
which were our Vermont troops, and I" i
tcas not again re-tdkeR."

mass of the people of Vermont will receive

the future. They will have faith that
everything will be done that can be- 10 put
down the rebellion. We are no longer to
protect slave-holding traitors. Jeff. Davis

return to the old Union, whenever, in their
judgment, it was the only expedicnt left,
and we rejoice that the President has rot

says; The rebel army has succeeded in

They saved all their transportation, and car
ried off all their wounded but about 800.
Between 800 and 400 rebel stragglers were
taken during the day by Gen. Pleasanton's
cavalry who took the advance. Nearly
every hou'e in Sharpsburg was struck by

HoS. CHARLEs SuMSER-In our synopsis o
the proceedings Of the Senate on Friday. W,
inadvertently did this distinguished gentleman
injustice. Instead Of denying that Jefferson
Davis was wsging war against the United Statet
as our types make him to say, bis statement
was that the United States ,oas passire, and thai
Jefferson Davis was "levyiug war against tht
United States" which is what the Constitution
defines to be treason, and that in this violation
Of the Constitution certain treason-Mr
Bright was giving him aid and comfort" I,
Is mistake that, to complete the act of trea-
son, 1t is necessary for the United States "a
have declared war. "Levying war against the
United States Is the language Of the Constitu
ton, and nothing more Is necessary on The part
Of the Government than the single thing, which
it cannot control, that it be the object Of the a.
tack.
