were found to be perfectly correct, Gen. Scott
came forward and grasping the young lieutenant
by the hand, personally eomplimented him on
his skill, and thanked MIN for his efficiency.
The chief engineer, somewhat chagrined at this
display of learning on :he part of his young
rival, sneeringly said " General, perhaps this
young man has some plan by which this part of
the defenses may be attached Upon inquiry,
it was found that he had q plan which was pro-
duced with some degree Of reluctance and laid
before The assembly. It was read and criticised,
and corrected, and finally, to make a long story
short, adopted with some amendment by the
council. This displeased the engineer, who
seemed to ihinh that the loutenant, though bat
few years lis junior, had no right to display
80 much knowledge OF science which did not
belong 10 his branch Of the service.

Our War Correspondence
From the Vermont Cavalry.
CAMP HARRIS. Annann)ls.

CAMP HARRIS, Annapolis. NO.,
January "A, 1862.
EDITOR FREEMAN Since our arrival in
Annapolis, nothing OF interest has occurred anc
we are getting tired OF tho daily routine of camp
life. | think that we should relish fight iusl
now, ii it was only to relievs the monotony OF
drills, and guard duty, but we ale now acqur-
ing just what we need to fit US for the duties
which We shall hereafter be called to perform
we arc now practising the sword exercise, both
mounted and dismouutcd, and VIC consider it
the most pleasant part Of our duty. There are
three regiments OF cavalry left in Camp Harris
under the command Of Brgadicr General Hatch
ali the other regiments have gone with Gen.
Burnside expedition. Our regiment Was paid
of yesterday up to the first Of January. Judge
Poland IS in camp with 80 allotment rolls . tor
the purpose q giving the men an opportunity
OF alIotllng portion Of their pay to the Treas
urer OF the State Of Vermont, SO that it can re-
main IN the Treasury on interet or be drawn
therelrom every two months for the benefit of
families ond friends. This allotment, however,
has nothing to DO with the present payment, but
most OF the men will send home II good share
of their present pay. Some have allotted all but
TWO dollars month, which | think is doing
pretty we'll, when we consider that they have
also assigned the seven dollars month due them
from the State to their friends Some have not
done quite as we'll as this, but taking the regi-
ment together, think We shall! not iull very far
behind the Vermont regiments The Vermont
Cavalry regiment is con posed Of as good mate
rel as there is in any regiment in the field and
We believe it will acquit itself honorably. The
ecolleetlons of our Green Mountain homes. 50
lear to every Vermont soldier, Will always re-
main green in our memory, and the thought that
We are fighting for our homes and fresl les. a.
veil as for our National existence shall nerve
'ur hearts and hands to strike n blow when the
line comes Tor action that shall tell fearful lIv
'pon those who in their blindness and passion
onsplle 10 overthrow tho best Government tha
un ever shone upon More anon.
Truly yours, O. p. g.,
