Mr.. EDITOR The following is from
Johnson lad, who from patriotic princi
pies has left his widowed mother to act il
defence of the government If it is wor

place in your paper
CAMP BRADLEY, Sept. 6, 1862.
Dear Mother:-IIhis is probably the
last letter you.will get from Camp Brad.
ley, as we are going tomorrow. The 10th
regiment is packing up now, and will leave
today at o'clock. Before another Sab
bath comes round, some of US may be
sleeping the sleep that knows no waking.
But may God in his good mercy spare us
50 that in good season we may return
again to our homes with the blessings of
peace and prosperity. But ere this war
is closed, blood has got to flow freer than
it ever yet has DONE and many of the no.
Bile brave sons of the north will fall, caus-
ing many weeping households, but it is a
noble cause that we are engaged in, and
in years to come it will be the proudest
speech man can make: | belonged to
the army of the Potomac. No, mother,
you never will regret it should we never
come back, you will have reason to be
proud, that you had two sons that laid
down bheir hives in defence of their coun-
try But mother, don't be disheartened or
discouraged, but hope for the best, and
all will come out right in the end, if the
women would have done their duty, this
war would long since been among things
that were, and are not but just so long
as>mothers or wives or sisters hold back
and say, my son, | cannot let him go,-he
is my dependence, my all,--he cannot,
must not go; and just so long as they
hold back this war will continue! but
when women come and say to their hus-
band, or brother, or son, go, l freely and
willingly give my consent, then you will
see a general uprising throughout the en-
tire north, and then this war will be
brought to a speedy close, and not till
then. 1t is no worse for one to 90 than it
is. for another, and then why not, when
the call is made, up and meet it like men.
1t has got to be done, and the quicker it
is done the better for then we can return
again to our Green Mountain homes, and
enjoy the blessings of peace and happi-
ness
Our Capt. has gone home. He has not
got his exchange yet. The Governor is
going to allow HIM three weeks after the
company leaves here, to get his exchange,

From WaIton's Daily Journal.

We are indebted to Rev. z. Druon, of
this village, for the following extract of a
letter, Of soldier of the 9Th Vermont
Regiment, sent to his wife residing in
Randolph
CAMP DIES ALLEyANDs Aug 20, 1862.
My Dear Wye:-The Reason why I did
not answer your letter is because the reg
iment the past week has had something
to do in confscating property. On Thurs
day the 25th, the property of Gen. Rich
ard Taylor, was confsicated. He is son
Of old Gen. Taylor, and is new in the rebel
army. They took all the mules and cat
tie. There were over 100 mules and 70
head of cattle, and 100 slaves. The
slaves were all declared emancipated.
This plantation formerly belonged to old
Gen. Tayler, who gave it to his son Rich
ard at his death. 1t is one of the most
splendid plantations l ever saw. There
was on it 700 acres of sugar cane which
must rot upon the ground if the Govern
men does not harvest it. l wish you
could see the soldiers plumber this planta-
ton. After the stock was driven off, the
boys began by ordering the slaves to
bring out everything there was to eat and
drink. They brought out hundreds of
bottles of wine, eggs, preserved figs and
peaches, turkeys, chickens and honey in
any quantity. | brought away large
camp kettle and frying pans that belonged
to old Gen. Taylor, and also many of his
private papers. | have one letter of his
own hand writing, and many from Secre-
tary Marcy-some from Gen. Scott, and
some from the traitor Floyd. brought to
camp four bottles of claret wine. Lieut.
brought away half a. barrel of the
best syrup from the sugar-bouse, and a
large can of honey. The camp kettle and
pans intend to send home. They are
made Of heavy tin covered with copper.
Think will send home the private pa
pers by mail, if do not let any one have
them. The camp is loaded down with
plonder---al! kinds of clothing rings,
watches, guns, pistols, swords, and some
Of Gen, Iaylor's old hats and coats, belts,
swords--and in fact, every old relic he
had worn about the camp.

For YOUr Horses.

IO your HORSES.
This Powder will cure the heaves, if given ON
the first appearance of the disease, and will prove
a sure remedy in cases of Lung Fever, Horse Dis
temper, Common colds and Coughs.
And when from any cause, the horse is out of
condition, it will prove valuable assistant in re-
storing him to health. Any amount Of certificates
of its value from individuals who have tested it's
virtues, might be given, but it is deemed unnec-
essary, as it will soon speak for itself. If your
horse is out of health in any respect if his appe-
tte is not good. if his coat is rough, or if he is
low spirited and wants something to put new life
in him, get a box of this Powder, and feed it to
him, and you will soon be satisfied that it is in

The Democratic party held the same
principles in the North and in the South,
and the OH ect and aim Of the party in
both sections is 20 render The North trihu
tary TO the South. and curse the whole
land with slavery. Tha; they will sncceed
in both II the war terminates without the
destruction of slavery. or Al least provi
ding for It's ultimate extinction. is the
opinion Of tn, wisest and best men in the
on."--M. c. Republican.
The Republican. of late is fl He'd with just such
stuff az The above. The allegation that the Demo
Gratis desire 10 make the North tributary to the
South. is about "a far from the truth as it's thor
generally gets. He knows that all Democ. a s
have ever asked for or desired ia the equality Of
Ell the States rs guaranteed by the Constitution.
The latter clause of the same sentence, that ait
is the object and aim Of the Democratic party To
curse the whole land with slavery" would be very
difficult also, to substantate II IFS author should
attempt il. When have the Democrats attempted
10 establish slavery in Indiana, in Ohio, in Mich
gan, in Iowa, in Wisconsin, or Minnesota, or in
anyo the nineteen rec Statc.1 Wi | the Repub
licdn please answer
The Democratic party has been in existence
almost since the formation Of the government.
and If IL "Obect and aim," has been 10 curse the
whole land with sl'very, it has certainly not met
with very incOur ging success. When the govern
ment formed. there twelve slave States,
and one small free State. Now, there are only
fifteen slave States. an Increase of three
while there are nineteen free States-an increase
of eighteen. Is ii not strange that party which
has wet with such poor success in extending "the
curse" should be feared and natedl The Re
publican has often quated from Democratic states
m,n, Democratic Platforms, speeches &c, &c
prove that the party was anti slavery, and now
kicks al! its former efforts over by asserting tia,
opposite. Such is the consistency of Abolition

From Washington

WAsHINGToN, April 90.
Senator Browning spoke three hours to-
day against Trumbul'S con6scarion bill.
and in opposition to measures of that ex
treme character generally.
the debate in the House to-day on the
report of the Contract Investigating Com
mittee was very bitter.
Mr.. Homans expose OF Secretary Cam
eron's railway frauds caused quite sens
alton.
Mr. Holman stated that cavalry had
been transferred to Chicago. and then sent
back to Washington again. to swell the
freight bills of the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad, in which the ex Secretary is a
large stakeholder.
Bills were reported to day in the Senate
Bureaus of Transportation aud Cloihing
in the War Department. They are to
consist each Of one Colonel, one Lieuten-
ant Colonel. and six Captains. 10 be cho-
sen from the regular and volunteer service.

The officers Of both bureaus are To enter
into bonds for the sitiful performance Of
their duties In accordaLce with the regu
lstioHs Of the Quartermaster's Department
which are To be made when the bills be-
GENE laws.
The detection of officers in any scheme
of speculation is to be followed by a
prompt dismissal of the offender from the
service.
The President sent message 10 the
Senate TO day, which was not read in open
session. saying he caused the arrest Of
Gen. Stone on sufficient grounds, and WIS
alone responsible TOR it. The reason sta
ted for the continued delay in Stone s sri-
al was. that the Witnesses and the officers
necessary to constitute a court are now in
front Of ,he enemy.
Stone will have trial, the President
states. as soon as 1t is compatible with the
public interests.

QUERY.

The telegraph and newspapers bring
the intelligence that Hon. Schuyler Colfax
has been sending donations of money to
the wound-d soldiers in the principal bat.
ties which have been fought lately. This
was all very kind. and our efficient Rep
resentative was doubtless impelled to the
Act by the Purest OF motives. We are
informed by one who knows, that he also
sent donation of S25 to TIE editor Of the
Stark County Press. Will Schuyler. the
telegraph. or the abolition newspapers, in
form the public how, when and where the
a'ore Press editor got wounded? Our
from Knox is that he is in the
enjoyment of remarkable good health II
oar information is correct. Schuyler has
been misinformed rs to the nature Of the
Press mans malady; although his pre-.
scription was doubtless very prompt in af.
fording relief TO friend in dis.ress' We
await further developments.
