in the arm, John Robinson, of Brown
ington, in the foot, and VIM. Livingston,
of Albany, in the elbow slightly. Capt.
Reynolds, of company F, was shot down
while leading on his men. He was one
of our best captains, and the regiment,
and especially his company, will suffer
greatly his loss. Lieut. Kinney, of
company /, was shot through the leg, but
commanded his company until it was safe
back over the creek, and did not leave it
then until ordered away by Col. Lord,
who said it was no place for wounded
man. He reluctantly left his company
to the command of another. Such is
Vermont spunk. Our color bearer was
wounded and fell, dropping the colors, but
they were caught up and brought out
pierced by ten balls. Sergt. Holston, of
company l, has the honor of bringing out
the colors. Capt. Davenport, of compa-
ny H, was wounded. He, with Lieuten-
ants Kinney and Bailey, were all of our
line officers who received wounds-Capt.
Reynolds killed. | learn by the Tribune
that many false reports of killed and
wounded have been given, such as Capt.
Hale, and Lieut.. Dwinell, &c, being
wounded, also Lieut.. Bradbury of com
pany + but such is not the case--they
were uninjured. Our company has lost
one more, Frank Stiles of Albany, who
died of typhoid fever. The hard march
es and exposures which we have to ex-
perience were too much for constitution
no stronger than his, and thus he sickened
and died and we buried him with those
who fell in action. His death was no
less honorable. When able, he served
his country faithfully. Thus in less than
one week three fellow soldiers have been
taken from our little band, and we deeply
mourn their loss.
One fact is worthy of notice where
our fallen soldiers were buried human
bones were displaced, and also old Cont
mental buttons were found, which is quite
positive proof that some of our forefa-
theirs who fought to establish our national
existence, repose in the same spot where
now rest those who fought to preserve
our national existence. Even now /
hear the boom of cannon

Tie Norfolk Day Book OF the 10Th inst.
has a significant article, the tenor OF
which is shown by the annexed extracts !:
At the present crisis, when the spirit
and prowess of the Confederate arms
have been so signally yndicated. Is it not
a favorable time for the Confederate gov
rrnment to propose TO the government at
Washington cessation of the fierce and
unnatural strife which has watered our
soil with blood and tears, and darkened
the annals OF our country's history
What dignity and subimity in the
proposition, coming from the Confederate
government, now bristling in readiness
for the dire conflict which fanaticism and
wrong have forced upon US
Why not say TO the government at
Washington We are eountrymen aud
brothers come, let us reason together
let US terminate this murderous contro-
versy, and settle our difficulties without
thirsling for each others bleod.
Is not the precious blood already spill
ed, poured out from the hearts OF broth
ers and countrymen, enough! Are not
the hecatombs of fathers, husbands, and
sons already made sufficient TO appease
the vile demon let loose among u.s.!

Orleans the excitement was boundless.
Martial law was put in force and bust
ness was completely suspended. All the
cotton steamboats, excepting such as were
necessary TO transport coin, ammunition,
&c, were destroyed. At one o'clock to-
day the operator babe US good bye, say

WASHINGTON, April p. The news
from New Orleans, which has come
through several rebel sources, is deemed
here to be of the utmost Importance
What Old England failed to do with all
her power, has been handsomely accom-
plished by New England. Inc manner
in which the success at Forts jackson
and St. Philip was followed up is highly
commended. In 80 hours our brave
men consummated their victory and ap-
peared before the great city Of the south
west to receive its submission. This is
but a foretaste of southwestern opera
tions. No mention is made by the rebel
papers, of their iron clad turtles and
rams, that were to annihilate the Yankee
fleet, which leads to a suspicion that the
common estimate of the rebel motive
power from their own misrepresentation
has been a mistake. 1t is pretty clear
that on this occasion they could not stop
to conceal the truth.

port US, we could have easily taken and
held the fort until other brigades could
have come to our assistance but now
another trial has yet to be made.
Every preparation is being made to
attack them again. Batteries are being
put in position to give them little she'll
and shot. doubtless quite as much as they
will be able to stand. The fort must and
will be ours and when that is taken
their line of Notifications from York to
James River is broken, and the hardest
work done towards capturing Yorktown.
Probably there are but very few cases
on record where so few men charged on
a number so large, and never did men
show more bravery than this little band
of the Sd Vermont. Full three fourths
of an hour they were under the fire OF
a force of ten times their number, and
still they drove them back until the last
cartridge was gone.
April 20.
Yesterday afternoon flag of truce
was sent over from the rebel fort. 1t
was for the purpose of having the firing
cease so they could bury their dead, and
likewise give US the same chance. They
brought over 80 dead bodies, and report
four wounded; and in their hospitals is
Swaziland of company D, whom re-
ported dead, and three others. OF the
others they had not obtained the names.
They reported the I'd Louisiana regiment
very badly cut up by the charge OF our
regiment. was one who went down to
help get these bodies-saw and talked
with any amount of secesh. All who
spoke of the charge Of our men called it
the most desperate they ever saw. They
are poorly clothed, and by no means as
intelligent lot Of soldiers as ours-gen-
orally young. All with whom | spoke
seemed to have a strong desire to have
the war close. No doubt they are, the
greater part Of them at least, sick of the
fob they have undertaken. They were
of the 9Th Va, 9th Ga , ID La, and a
Kentucky regiment-the same troops
that fought the Bull Run battle.
We have a company of sharpshooters
here, who lay upon this side Of the creek
secreted, and who as soon as secesh
makes Lis appearance cause him to 'drap.
Many of them will pick man every
time a mile off. This causes the enemy
to keep well hid in the woods. They

the shsrpshooters.
