1he general government. truly. is onIv
an adapted political machinery. by which
the powers OF all the States NAV be con-
centrated upon certain defined objects, for
the welfare Of the whole people. IF en-
ployed, by any of its functionaries. for
any other purpose than those designated
IN the instrument itself, the act is us,1r-
patton.
This is clear, for the 10th Article of
the Amendments declares that s.The
powers not delegated TO the United

No officer OF the general government.
therefore, can exercise any authority moi

He has no fund of orr ginal sovereignty
on which he can draw. Implied warrant

having shed Italian blood, but he had receiv-
cd peremptory orders, and was compelled to
obey them. My arrangements had been pure
ly defensive, and had hoped to be able to a.
void conflict, from the strong position oc-
cupied and from the hope that the regular
troops had received less sanguinary orders.
i'll had not received orders, under any cir
cumstances, to avoid any collision with the
regular troops, the struggle might have be-
come terrible. Nevertheless. it is better as 1t
is. Whatever mag be the result of my
wounds, and whatever may be the fate pre-
pared for me by the government, am con-
scious of having done my duty, and the sacrI-
fce of my life is but trihe if it will save
those of great number ofmy fellow citizens:
In the hazardous enterprise in which l and
NY companions embarked, | hoped for moth
ing good from the government of Ratazzi,
but why ought not to hope for less rigor on
the part of the king, not having in any way
changed the old program, and decided on not
changing It at any price? What aftiicts me
most is that fatal mistrust which contributes
not little to leave the national unity unfn-
shed. However this may be, present my.
self before Italy with my head erect, sure Of
having done my duty. This time again my
life. and that far more precious than mine, Of
so many generous youths. has been offered as
holocaust to the most sacred of causes, pure
from the tain: of any vile personal interest.

The inquiry being frequently made xhe,h-
er the Commission wishes 10 receive apples
for the use of the wounded, it should imn1e-
diately be published. Is widely as possible.
that dried apples cannot be sent TO lis depots
in too large quantities. Town and village
relief societies are requested to make ar
engagements for pairing, cutting and driving by
their members. and such volunteer assistance
as they can enlist, and TO notify farmers tina,
they will receive such good fruit as they NAV
be disposed TO offer, and are unable them
selves to properly prepare. Dried apples
may be sent in barrels or boxes, or in strong
bags, marked TO be kept dry" Dried fruits
of other kinds, and ali good canned fruits
will be very acceptable.

A Dollar that Pays Well.

One ofthe best seasonable enterprises, now
before the public, Is that of the Publisher of
the American Agriculturist. He has secured
for his subscribers fine colored editions of
two splendid maps Of localities ofgreat inter-
est One of these covering space of more
than ten square feet, shows the entire State
Of Virginia so completely that every county,
town, city, village, river, brook, mountain,
hill, and principal road, is readily found. 1t
also embraces the principal parts of Mary
land, and Pennsylvania. The other map,
covering about 10 square feet, gives all the
Southern or Slave States, including Missouri,
Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and
all south of them. Though not so minute as
the map of Virginia, this shows all the coun-
ties, principal towns, rivers, ETC., OF the
Southern States. Any person subscribing
now for the Agriculturist, is presented with
choice of the above two maps. In addi-
ton to this, every new subscriber for 1868

Another battle this week

Another battle this week, and Union
victory. The rebels Price, Van Dorm & Co..
attacked Gen Grant at Corinth and got de-
cidedly worsted. Our forces appear to be
following up their advantages and there ale
strong hopes that they will make clean
thing of it. 1t is is supposed that Van Dorm
and Price confidently counted on taking our
army a, Corinth under Grant, and then march
into Kentucky to reinforce Bragg. But in
stead of this very nice little program, the
rebel army at Corinth has been defeated and
put to flight, with fair prospec Gf We may
believe reports) that it will be we'll nigh de-
stroyed. The rebel army in Kentucky is get
ting the worst of it-Gen Buell. forcing it to
fall back and We confidently look for quick,
decisive and glorious campaign in the South
west, in which the traitors will once more be
compelled to skedaddle or capitulate.
1t was reported in Washington on Monday
and believed that the rebel army had evacua-
ted Winchester and was retrea,ing towards
Richmond. Our own army has been put in
order for quick marches, having been relieved
of all superfuities camp equipase and dress.
Their knapsacks are being stored in large
warehouses erected for the purpose. The
Sibley tents are being left behind, the soldiers
taking only their little French shelter tents.
1t looks now as though We were to chase the
rebel army back upon Richmond. We trust
great activity is to be put into this fall cam.
paign. and from what We see we Judge it is
SO to be.
The "People" held convention in Boston
on Tuesday, at which Gen Devens of Wor.
cester was nominated for governor, and
Thomas F. Plunkett Of Pittsfeld, lieutenant
governor. 1t is believed that the democratic
convention will adopt these nominations, thus
making strong party against the Republi.
cans.

was very large the first day,not less than 30O(
strangers being present. The Republican

TO Our Legislature.

We believe it the duty of our legislature,
if they have the power-and we can see no
reason why they have MOTTO inquire into
the facts concerning the eth regiment and
their conduct at Baton Rouge, and the rela-
tons existing between Gen Butler and that
regiment. We believe that Gen Butler has,
"llfrlly or otherwise, greatly wronged this
regiment, and in so doing has wronged the
State.
For every member of the legislature to be.
come convinced of these facts We believe it
is only necessary for them to read the evi.
dence as contained in very full and detailed
account of the regiment from the time it was
mustered into the service of the United States
till after the battle of Baton Rouge, said &C.
count being written by Lt-Col Fullam, who
was with the regiment from the frst,and who
had command after the Col was killed. This
account, together with letter from Captain
Button and one from Lieut. Hitchcock, has
been published in full in the Rutland Herald
and the main facts have also been given in
the Montpelier and Burlington papers and in
lhk CALIFORNIAN of two and three week.
since.
The men who bear evidence against Gen
Butler IN the great injustice done to Vernon,
troops are men of known integrity and tried
courage. We demand in behalf of the State
That the facts should be brought out, and il
injustice has been done, the fair name and
lame OF our State should be indicated.

CAMP LINCOLN, Brattleboro, !
Oct 6. 1862.

CAMP LINCOLN, Brattleboro,
Oct 6, 1862.
To the Editor Of The Caledonian:
The last week has been one of continual
stir and hustle in the Camp of the 10Th Ver-
mont regiment. The hurry incident upon
preparations for departure, the coming and
going of friends to say the last goodbye and
bid tie soldier-boy God speed, together with
the routine Of camp life. has kept every one
full of business. But confusion does not
come with the extra work, for our excellent
colonel has personal supervision of all
things and sees to it that order reigns. We
had very pleasant time last Friday at dress
parade, when the chaplain in behalf of the
field and staff officers presented Col Blunt
with sword, sash and belt, prefacing the
presentation with the following address:
"CoLoNEL- By the courtesy of these, my
fellow-officers and comrades,I have been des-
ignated to present you with these insignia of
your leadership. do not refer merely when
l speak of your leadership, to your official
relation to US, but chiefly to that native quai-
ity that determines you to be leader of ma
lures make.
Men can make for themselves leaders after
their own will. God makes them after His
own pattern. There is difference between
the office and the character, and they are too
often separated. We are proud to find in
you those sympathies that draw US to and
around you, and still certain native energy
that commands and controls. These native
credentials give sanction to those official ere.
dentials by which We are to recognize you as
oar leader.
Where you lea6, therefore, we shall dare
to follow-not only obediently, but confident.
ly and cheerfully. 1t is very satisfactory fol
US to feel, too, that your quality has been
thoroughly tested.
Look at the scabbard and you will find oul
recognition Of the value of such test of pat
riotism, nerve and daring. Lees Mills, VIII
liamsburg, Golding's Farm and the rest
these for you and for this regiment have q
great meaning and value, as the scenes tkro
which you passed to prove yourself worthy
to lead such body Of men as are now unde,
your charge. Be assured of the full conf
dence Of these officers that you have earned
this regiment, and it is yours. And now be
pleased to accept these their gifts, as tokens
Of confidence, respect and affection, and Goo
go with you to strengthen and guide"
The colonel was so much affected that hi.
voice quivered with emotion as he responded
substantially as follows:
"GESTLENES-Accept m, sincere thank:
tor this testimonial of your regard, and be-
lieve me when say that it is wholly unex
pected, and at the same time all the more
gratifying.
Acts are the best evidences of man..
character, and l have as yet done nothing

lent of such beautiful presents, vet this ex
