crossed the Potomac and entered Maryland
with a large force, took Frederick which has
been the temporary Capital of the State since
the rebellion broke out where Gen. Lee issued
proclamation to the people, making them fine
promises with smooth words, expecting no
doubt that they would flock TO his standard by
thousands. And he did succeed in gettirg some
recruits, but fortunately they have mostly fallen
into our hands. He supplied himself and men
with needed stores of food and clothing, pay
ing for them in Confederate money, and il
things turned out as he anticipated, would
probably have advanced farther into the State,
and perhaps crossed into Pennsylvania. But
not finding sympathy and comfort as he hoped,
and finding Mcclellan at his heels, he began a
retrograde movement into Virginia. and then
commenced series of hard fought battles in
which our officers and men did their duty
bravely, beating the enemy at every encounter,

day.
Our news from the West also looks more
cheering than it did few days ago. The de-
sign of the rebels TO attack Cincinnati and to
cross over the Ohio into the free states, has
been thwarted, and they have been obliged to
retreat. The West is aroused and they will
take care of the secesh in that quarter.
The news this week, Wednesday morning, is
encouraging. Our forces are vigorously at

It is further ordered, that the colors Of that
regiment be not borne by them until such time
as they shall have earned the right to them and
the earliest opportunity will be given this regi-
ment to show whether they are worthy descen-
dants of those who fought beside Allen and
Starke at Bennington.
Among those Of whom honorable mention is
made is "John Donaghue, 18th Massachusetts
Battery, who brought off from the camp of the
9TH Vermont Regiment their colors at the time

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 10.
Gov. Curtin has issued an order calling on
all able bodied men of the State to organize
Immediately and be ready to march at an hours

OF all companies to provide themselves with

sixty rounds of ammunition.

STATE FAIR.-The annual Fair of the YER

week, was on the whole quite satisfactory con-
sdering the condition of public affairs, though
not equal 10 previous ones. The exhibition of
vegetable productions was meagre, as was also
that of the mechanical department The show
of neat cattle proved evidently that the stock
of Vermont is improving. The exhibition Of
horses was excellent Vermont can't be beat

TALL SHooTING.-Charles Whitman of Lon
donderry has sent us a diagram of a target
made by him on the 9th, and an account of his
firing at it at the distance of forty rods, the
wind blowing n drift of six inches from the
right. He fired ten successive shots, the string
measure being l-2 inches, the shot measuring
3 inches.
His rifle was made by N. and G. Whitman,
Mansfield, Ms. and the barrel weighs II lbs
2S slugs to the h., telescope sight. This is
what we call close shooting. If every ball had
gone through rebels heart, good service would
have been done to the country.

LOCAL INTELLIGE EN- CE

SWORD PREsENTATIoN.-The Ladies of ia
maica have presented Capt. Ball of the Com
pany now located at Townshend, an elegant
regulation sword with sash and belt. The pre-
sentation took place on the 18th inst, at
Townshend in presence of the Company and
quite crowd of spectators. The ladies of
Jamaica to the number of % or 80 were pres
ent. The presentation was made by Mrs. II.
II. Wheeler in behalf of the ladies who adj
dressed Capt. Ball as follows:
"Sir The ladies of jamaica feel that they
appreciate in some measure the responsibilities
you have undertaken, not only as one of that
great army which has gone forth TO protect US
in the exercise of our right and liberties but
more especially as Captain of Company con-
tanning their husbands sons and brothers. And
as an expression of their confidence in your
tLihty and desire to perform your duties in
both relations faithfully, in their behalf | pre-
sent you this word sash and belt"
To which Capt Ball responded as follows:
Ladies' of Jamaica, words will not express
my gratitude to you for the honor you have be-
slowed upon me by presenting to me this beau
tlul sword. | now feel doubly armed and
doubly bound TO use my utmost endeavors in
the defense of the Union for which our fathers
expended so much blood and treasure. Ladies,
accept this sword as a badge of honor and as
a pledge of my protection here at home. The
presentation of this sword to me here to-day
bids defiance to the slanderous tongue and if
am not deserving of this attention you will
learn your mistake in the events of the coming
campaign. But ladies before this beautiful
sword shall be dishonored with this right arm
of mine and these my comrades who will follow
me wherever l will lead them. | say before
this sword shall be dishonored we will shed
our last drop of blood upon the barren sands
and swamps of the South and leave our bodies
to manure their fields; and now ladies OF
Jamaica may the choicest of Heavens blessings
rest upon your heads. May you forever possess
all the happiness the mind can imagine or the
heart desire, and may that happiness be ALSO
lutely without end"
At the conclusion Of the speech the Captain
with his company escorted the ladies' and
their friends to the hotel and directed the land.

THE SEVENTH VERMONT REGIMENT

1t will be seen by Gen. Buffers Order which
we publish in another column that the colors of
this Regiment have been taken from them for
misconduct in the battle at Baton Rouge.
In the letter nf our Correspondent at New
Orleans, the chaplain of the 9Th Regiment, which
we slso publish to-day, the subject is referred
to, the matter partly explained, and the Regi-
ment exhonerated from blame on account of the
peculiar circumstances in which the men were
placed In the Rutland Herald of Monday
last there are two letters on the same subject
one from Lieut.. Col. V. S. Fullum of that Regi
ment the other from Salmon Dutton, Captain
of Company G, of the same Regiment. Lieut.
Col. Fullum was at the battle and took com.
mand after Col. Roberts was killed, and says
"From my own knowledge and what | have
been able to learn from others, | have no hest
taion in saying that the charges of misconduct
on the part of the regiment during the battle are
not supported by facts indeed, am willing tc
say from my own personal knowledge Of the
affair, that some of them are utterly false, and
| have evidence entirely satisfactory to myself
that the remainder are So" Capt. button de-

ment in an explicit manner, and gives a par

both as to numbers and variety, the exhibition
is said to have been superior to that of any
previous Fair in Vermont or in New England.
Superior specimens of marble work were ex-
h,bited. The melodeons of our townsmen,
Esty and Green, we are CLAN to learn attracted,
as they deserve, especial ottantion. There were
also many other things, productions of nature
and of art, worthy of note but which we have
not space now to mention.
The address of Mr.. Greedy was a sensible
practicable production, worthy of the man ard
the occasion, and deserving the study of our
farmers.

CIRcULAR.-1he Society Of the Sons of New
England in the City of Philadelphia, Pa, have
raised funds and placed them in the hands of a
Relief Committee, who will visit the Army
Hospitals within this Medical District, and
seek out the sick and wounded soldiers belong
ing TO the New England States, and render
them such aid or advice as they may require.
Where a soldier is furloughed or discharged,
and is without sufficient funds to enable him
to reach his home, he will be assisted by the
Society.
The Society will keep complete list of all
the New England soldiers admitted to the diff
ferent Hospitals within this district, and will
gladly answer, as far as they are able, any in
quiries from their relatives or friends. They
will also take charge of and deliver any articles
or parcels which may be sent to their care for
specified patients.
Special Committees are detailed to each
Hospital, and the friends of the invalid soldier
may rest assured that his necessities will be
supplied, and as far as possible his general
comfort will be increased.
Communications may be addressed 10 II. r.

WHO SHALL, APPOINTP

We understand that a question has been
raised ms to who shall appoint the Field officers
of the Regiments now to he mustered into SER
vice whether it shall be done by the Governor
or by the line officers. The Constitution of
Vermont See. 22nd says, "The inhabitants OF
this State shall be trained and armed for its de-
fence, under such regulations restrictions, and
exceptions, as Congress, agreeably to the Con-
stitution of the United States and the Legsla-
ture OF this State, shall direct. The several
companies of militia shall, as often as vacancies
happen, elect their Captain and other officers,
and the Captain and subalterns shall nominate
and recommend the field officers, Of their re-
spective regiments, who shall appoint their
staff officers"
From this it appears that the Captain and
Lieutenants Of the various Companies Of which
n regiment is composed, are to nominate, and
recommend their field officers, who of course
are to be commissioned by the Governor; and
the field officers will appoint their staff officers
This rule is applicable to those of TIE militia
who have volunteered for nine months, insterd
of being drafted. and we understand will be
adhered to by the Governor in reference to the
regiments soon to be mustered into service.

Having had several years experience in teach
ing from "Eaton's New Tretse on Arithmetic"
and considering it by far the best textbook on
that subject for the use of High Schools and
Academies, we were prepared to welcome
second volume by the same anthor, designed
for younger class of pupils. The peculiar
merits of these Arithmetics are clearness in
alysis; philosophical method in arrange
ment; copiousness of examples, Dhhom an
sOeys and attractive typographical executions.
Mr.. Eaton's series consists of a Primary Arith-
metic, which we have not seen or we have no
doubt we could recommend it equally with the
others, Colbuns First Lesson, the Common
School Arithmetic, and Eatons New Treatise
on Arithmetic.
