FROM GEN. POPE's ARMY.
CULpEPpER Court HOUSE, !
Virginia, July IA

After respite of four months the I'm
ion forces are again in Culpepper Court
House. Gen. Banks advance occupied
the town on Saturday. A detachment Of
cavalry under Gen. Hatch, with force
of artillery and infantry for support, have
to day driven out horde of regular gu
errillas or irregular cavalry from the
town, in which they had become nui-
sancc, even to their friends.
Before daybrcake this movement was
commenced from near Amissville to this
place, the remainder of the division hav-
ing proceeded to Warrenton. The post of
honor in the advance was assigned to Col.
Tomphins Of the Vermont Cavalry. No
important occurrence transpired for six
miles upon the route. Here is bridge
across the Rappahannock, as a body of
these guerrillas were stationed near by to
guard it, or, if necessary, to burn it upon
the approach of the enemy. Our advance

to Fort Warren The man or men who
will engage in such business as that which
has just taken place at Norwich, should
be shot on the spot.
But we have few of these soul des-
troying, and. God defying traitors here in
Bellows Falls, and it is high time that
they were made to understand the differ
ence between free speech and free treason.
If it is right to arrest persons for talking
treason in Baltimore or Boston, it is equal
ly right to do the same thing here. 1t
may be said they are so few, they can do
no harm. But this is not so, the mcanest
thing on earth has its influence, and ac-
cordingly when these northern rebels talk
their blatent treason in our streets and
public places, they are bringing, or doing
what they can to bring our government
into disrepute. We are informed that
few days since one of these men at store
in our village, declared that " the federal
government was a rotten, bankrupt con-
Germ, and not worth barrel of pork"
Now it is plain to be seen that the ef-
feet of such infamous language is to des-
troy confidence in the government, and
thus give aid and comfort to the enemy"
Docs such language, falling upon the ears
of our young men, encourage them to en-.
list ? .,
When our government is denounced, as
not worth barrel of pork" will our
young men feel like enlisting to fight for
the preservation of government, which
older men denounce and for which they
have no respect? We trust the number
who will be deferred, by such traitorous
language, from serving their country, is
few, and yet no doubt there are some who
are affected, and thus these home traitors
more effectually aid the rebellion, than,
they would if they were to shoulder their
musket and go down south, and join the;
rebel armies, where they properly belong.
Bellows Falls is earning most unen--
viable reputation for treason. Expose a
seceshionist in Guilford, or Windham, or
Manchester, and the head Of the secession
snake in this place is Immediately raised
in their defence. This treason should be-
effectually rebuked, and if the contempt
of public opinion here is not strong enough
to stop it, then let them be marched to-
Fort Warren, or some other place where
all traitors ought to go.-B. q. Times.

Yesterday was beautiful day for NOV
ing. We started at z, a. m; marched
through the city to Long Bridge, crossed
and moved on.
The boys thought it pretty hard time.
Their knapsacks were filed to their great
est extent and the strongest men soon be-
gan to fall out, while others of small stat
urc stood it bravcly and did not falter,
through the day. The distance was from
ten to twelve miles. We halted five
times, for few minutes, the last time
near our camping ground. While VIC
were there the straglers were marched in
by officers left behind for that purpose
and those who were ahead began to cheer
for the 10th Vermont; in fact they looked
almost like a regiment, for there was
nearly one half of one. Last night fol
the first time, the boys began to cook by
camp fire. They made some first rate
coffee and we were quite ready to CAM

PUT DOWN THE TRAITORS AT HOME.

1t is quite as important to put down
the traitors at home, as down south. A
northern traitor is more despisable piece
of humanity than Southern one. A
southern rebel fights for what he thinks
is his own section of country, while the
northern one turns his back on his own
country and the government which has
protected him. Elsewhere will be found
an account of secession demonstration,
at Norwich. We heard about one of them
while at the convention at Montpelier.
On receiving the news from Richmond,
that Mcclellan had retreated, this man
was at the depot in that place, and grab
bing his Boston paper, jumped into his
carriage and drove with much haste to
the village, where in 6endish extacy, he

THE .ssKEDADDLE" FOR CANADA.
Island Pond, July 10

What is the matter with your Maine
men | notice the arrival of 16 or Is
men from Gllead, Bethel and that neigh
borhood, with u.s. enroute for Canada, by
the evening freight train. | also learn
that there were twenty others, that step
ped on the passenger train at West Beth
el, with tickets for Montreal. 1t was
supposed by the knowing ones that they
were going up to establish military de-
pot somewhere in Canada, to arrest and
send back all persons that escaped from
Maine to avoid draft, as the party was
headed by Capt. Mason, of the Home
Guards. Mr.. w. R. Leach, the track
man, was to lay the new track to the
headquarters, and Newton Swift, of Beth
ell, the Buchanan Ex-P Postmaster, was to
be the Postmaster of that Department.
The others were to be something big, or
else they could not stand the ten per cent
shave that their Southern sympathising
Canadian friends make on Yankee bank
notes. Now it appears that after the cars
were in motion, the men belonging to that
train (who are not generally piously in
clined,) not having the fear of God before
their eyes, nor the feelings of the twenty
braves in their hearts, began in divers
ways to make them change their base h'ae

guard prevented the accomplishment of
such plan by moving on very rapidly
and arriving early before they were ex-
pected, to the bridge, which they found
besmeared with tar ready for the burning.
The bridge was saved and the way opened
for the advance of the baggage, infantry
and artillery. The road beyond the
bridge runs near the rivers bank and
upon level strip of interval, and then
rise steep hill, at the top of which there
are woods which afford an excellent cover
for bushwhackers.
Two sergeants were riding short dis
tance before the advance guard, watching
for an enemy, when half-a-dozen "grey-
bucks" appeared suddenly, and with de-
liberate aim fired at them volley, and
escaped. Both were wounded. A mes
senger was sent back Immediately for a
surgeon, who found, support by COM
panion, cndeavoring to staunch his wound,
Eben Grant, orderly sergeant of Go. |,
Vermont cavalry. A ball had passed
through the forearm, but had fortunately
escaped the bone. Surgeon Edison was
about to dress the wound, but the gener-
Gus sergeant urged him to leave him upon
the ground and 60 on to attend to the
wound of his fellow soldier, who he said
was more seriously injured. With word
of advice to the companions, the DR.. pass
ed on to the top of the hill where the 9th
er videttc was reclining upon the ground,
supported by his comrades. The wound
was in the arm like the other, but had
broken the bumerus. Marvin M. Mason
was his name. He was suffering severely
from, it but enduring bravely his misfor-
tune. No splints or bandages were at
hand; but the latter were easily obtained
from house near by, and the former
were improvised by cutting several pieces
of bark into the requisite shape and di-
mensions.
All was quiet again until within two
miles of Culpepper Court House. At a
sudden bend in the road, our advance
guard, close to whom were Col. Tomp-
kins and Gen. Hatch, were shocked and
somewhat frightened by a very sudden
and unexpected volley of bullets.
The shock was soon over, and the fore.
most, who for moment had faltered, un
der the inspiring influences Of the colo
nels and the generals voice, came into
ranks and returned the fire, while oul
hankers, who were upon both sides Of thu
road, opened cross fire which put an enc

of the town. A party was sent out to tn
right and left, hoping to surround in tn
village some who had not yet escaped
