FROM THE VERMONT SEvENTH.-A letter
received from the Hospital Steward of the
9TH Regiment, Prindle Rising, dated Camp
Parapet, June 20, received last evening, says
that the Regiment is remarkably free from
sickness. Only 81 men belonging to the 9TH
were in Hospital, and all doing we'll. Nine
members of the 1st Vt. Battery, and four
the I'd Battery, were also in Hospital and
likewise convalescent.
Only one death had occurred in the Regi-
ment, Mr.. c. Coppins of this village, mem
Der of the Rutland Comnany (p) lie aieu
a hospital on the goth of June Of typhoid
fever and erysipelas. Mr.. Rising says: Coop
pins had been in hospital since the S1st Of
May, and until within ten days every symp-
toms indicated slow but certain recovery
At that time the erysipelas began to exhibi
itself by slight swelling under the eyes. The
swelling continued despite the use of every
thing skill and genius could devise his dis
ease increasing every hour, until God in mer'
cy spoke Son, thy work is ended, come
home.' His last moments were peaceful and
quiet. He seemed like one taking rest
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep He was q
true soldier of the Cross--valient for Christ
The enemy, death, had no terrors for hin,
His prayers were often heard in the night
when granted few moments consciousness
We understand Mr.. Coppins leaves wife
and children who reside in this village. W.
are sure they will have the kind sympathy o.
our entire community.

How the Editor Of the Courier Escaped
from the horns Of Fighting Bulls y
Grand DenOuement!
From the Rutland Courier, July II,


Politics make strange bedfellows and
we are right glad that our neighbors, the
Republicans, have given those Democrats
that have so long been hankering after
the flesh pots of Egypt, a ticket for a
share of the spoils, under an admins
tration that is scattering among its friends
millions and millions of dollars wruug
from the hard earnings of the laboring
poor, who, with the farmers and mechan-
les, are to be taxed beyond endurance, not
alone for the necessary amount to carry
on the war, but to build up pampered
aristocracy in our midst for the Sealing
which every sensible man must see is
going on by those who have their hands,
up to their elbows, in " Uncle Sans i"
money chest. We are glad, we repeat,
that the Republicans have taken Slough
ton, Smalley, Dillingham;, Colby and a
few others into partnership. They were
always looking out for plumber. They
have now got into good position to pro-
cure more than their share of it, and if
these men do not very soon control the
Republican party as they did the Demo-
cratic party, it will not be for want Of an
effort. We say to these gentlemen, good
bye (! .farea0eH!
and rom like lightning, and jumped
over the fence, and tore my breaches as if

NEw PASSENGER DLrJT.-It is said that
the Trustees of the Vermont Central Road f,
intend to exec; new passenger Depot this
season, on their grounis By the Lake shore.
We had hoped that the two roads-she Rur-
land and Ccntral,-wouli erect together a
spacious Sc Union Depot, at some most con-
ysnient spot for themselye aud the Public :,
but if that cannot be. We are glad that tray-
ellcrs by the Vt Central, are at las, to have
a m9Ie commodious waiting pace, than the
old make-shift which for so many years has
supplied the place Of proper passenger De-
pot. The Tunes says the new Depot is to be
placed just North Of the present freight De-
pot, and is to be a spacious two story brick
structure 1t is to be designed by .Silloway,
Architect, Of Boston, and is to be completed
before next winter, at a cost Of about ten
thousand dollars.
We trust that the location Is not decisively
fixed at the spot indicated. That location,
as compared with the present one, will about
treble the distance to be travelled, fiom the
hotels and village generally to the Depot,
and add correspondingly to the time and in
convenience of reaching it on the part of
our citizens. Surely place could be found,
near the foot of College or Main streets, that
would better accommodate the public.

KITrY,s CnoICE.

wealthy old farmer was AbsAlom Lee,
He had but one daughter, the mischieyous Kitty;
So fair and good and 80 gentle was she,
That lovers came wooing frCu country and city.
The first and the b3ldest to ask for her hand
Was trinity dressed dandy who worshiped hsr-
tins"
She replied with smile he could well understand
"Thai shs'd marry no Ape fer The sake af his SKIN
The next was a merchant from business retired,
Rich, gouty and gruf, pTesuming old sinner;
Young Kitty's fair form and sweet face he admired
And thought to himself, Il can easily win her
So be showed her his palace. and made bluff
bow,
And said she might live there; but wiekeoly
then,
Kitty told him she long ago made rash vow.
alNoi 10 marry a tear fjT the SAX, Of hi5 deH.'
A miser came next; he was fearless and bold
In claiming his right 10 Miss kitty's affection;
He said she'd not want for home while his gold
Could pay for a cabin to give her protection
half Iexed at his boldness, but cain in trice,
she curtseyed, and thanked him, and blush
ingly then,
Denurely repeated her sage aunts advice,
"Nol 70 marry { hig far The sake Of his pen"
The next was e farmer, young, bAshful and shy,
He feared the bold Wooers who cane from the
city;
But the flush on his cheek and the gbt in his eye,
Suon kindled a fame in the bosom Of Kitty.

But, darling come share it with me if you

ROOT-GRAFTED TREES.

Mssrs. Editors Of The Free Press;
In your paper Of April 25,h, notice
a communication headed: Interesting to Fruit
growers protesting TO state facts, and also max
ing a suggestion which, however harmless it may
prove to practical frait-growers, may influence
some 70 defer setting trees a; least for this year
As to the facts, it is true that many trees have
died, and it is equally true that such loss has been
confined to certain ind viduals and certain lots Of
trees. l have in my mind lot Of 10000 trees
br, ught into this section few years ago, of which
scarcely one Ia fifty lived. The trees we're dead,
or nearly 50, when set out having been Improperly
managed after they were dug up. If we deal with
irresponsible tree venders, we must expect to get
the poorest class Of trees.
It is no doubt true, that nany healthy root
grated trees, when split down, will show a small
decsycd or dead streak, confined to the original
graft or scion caused, no doubt, BY the non-uniOn
Of the beart-wood Of the graft and stock. 1t is
also true, that the wound made by cutting of the
STOCK Of a bud ed tree, will cause dead wool. So
also, graft inserted into limb, or any other
wound which, although new wood may grow over
it, still remains dead wood, and will, eventually
decay.
deny, from practical sxpsrierce, that root
gr fled trees we'll managed from the time Of TAX
ing up in the nurssry until set out and after, if
the season be dry, by mulcAing, are any more
liable to die in ten years than buided trees on the
they have proved with fruit-growers in
this section perfectly hardy and healthy. II any
one doubts my assertion, shall be pleased to
show him some Of the orchards in this vicinity,
where be may judge for himself the relative
merits Of budded and rOot-graf.sd trees.

A cJrrlsp1nien. Of the n. I. Tribune
writes long letter from the camp on the
peninsula, under date Of April 9th, to ex-
eulpate Gen Wm F. Smith from the impu
tation of being intoxicated on the 10th April,
while in Command Of the Vt. Troops, and to
ineulpaie Mr. Morri!roi Vt, for bringing the
report to the attention Of Congress. The
statements and opinions Of the Tr.JuHs's cor
respondent, as to the main facts, may or
may not be correct. An authorized investI-
CATION viii doubtless bring out the truth
But the correspondent Aforesaid concludes his
remarks by referring to 4 statement concern
ing the action Of the Vermont troops as fol-
lows
'This, with man so imaginative, and prone to
make injurious statements without facts to back
then, as Mr.. Merrill, may have been ground
enough for saying that they took the battery and
held it fifty minutes. The fact that Gen. smith
was thrown from his horse would, to such man,
probably be sufficient evidence that be was

fess that Sd gross a Misrepresentation Of his
character gives US d gen3ral dIstrust Of the
accuracy and fairness Of the corespondent-
vh-eyer ho may be

sober on the occasion, and they make appar-
emily satisfactory explanations Of his fall
from his horse. We know nothing person.
ally Of Gen. Smith, and shall be glad to see
his blamelessness in the case established
That uniayorable reports as to his habits
have been abroad for months, Is beyond
doubt, and it is time they were proved or put
at rest Every officer ought to be beyond
suspicion on the subject 0f intemperanee,
and for that matter every one can be if he
will.
The dwelling talk Of the Sentinel and the
Argus that Gen. Smith is assailed by "abo-
litionists, and because, as the Argus says,
he is d democrat and bitterly hostile to
the emancipation schemes Of the abolition
wing Of the republican party, for which the
nic-erists sem determined to fight him to
the bitter end, " is too ridiculous to merit a
serious notice

the defence Of New Orleans can now be uni

sist in the great work OF driving tie vandals
out OF Tennessee and Kentucky, and in a
march across the Ohio-a movement which,
we cannot doubt, will be commenced and
carried through as soon as the Tennessee,

will be our opportunity for striking crush
ing blow that will more than redeem our

We want to see a column of $50 900 South

Northwestern, and another column of the

by Johnston, so that whilst the Yankees are
taking our coast and river cities, we will be
