LETTER FROM CHICAGO.

EDITOR NEwspEALER:-The recent in.
fux into this goodly city of about seven
thousand Of the "chivalry,' gives me a
topic and plausible pretext for writing
to you. For have seen with my own
eyes. and conversed with those /" brave
Southern hearts, who fought until the
last drop of Southern blood was poured
out, (in a horn) died in the last ditch. and
then hcroically and gloriously surrendered
to the Illinois boys at Fort Donclson, and

this occasion, to tell you how we feel about
it, how the Southern hearts feel about it,
and mauble visu, how they look. yt

FROM THE CAVALRY REGIMENT.

PooLsvILLE, Nd, March 10Th, 1862.
FRIEND EARLE:-Probably you have
learned ere this that the lst Vt. Cavalry
has moved from Annapolis to Poolsville,
and that you may better understand our
position | will endeavor briefly to give
you an account of our march and the cir
cumstances in which we are now placed.
The eighth of March-Sabbath morn
we left our pleasant camp at Annapolis
for this place, and though we had be-
come strongly attached to our camp, which
by our labor had become the finest caval-
ry encampment in the army, all left in
excellent cheer. On the second day, we
arrived in Washington and entered the
barracks of the 9th regular cavalry, which
had that morning crossed the river to par
ticipate in the forward movement to
Richmond" We remained there until
Wednesday morning, when we marched
through the city and on to Rockville, a
small village showed unmistakeable evil
dence of strong Union sentiment, more 50
than any other village that l have visited.
The next days march brought us to
our camp near Poolsville, and it was a
strong contrast between the one we left.
1t had formerly been occupied by the Sd
N. Y. Cavalry, and was one of the most
filthy places ever witnessed. This vii
lage is small town strongly tinctured
with secesh and in a military point is not
very important yet it has been large
military depot since the breaking out Of
this rebellion. tits just about four miles
from the Potomac, and directly opposite is
Balls Bluff. yqs9ea l,ga9 ai guaaai
To-day we have moved to new camp
ground, thinking it far more practicable
to fit up new ground than to reuovate
the old ono and make tia wholesome
place. ] am unable to say anything

EDUCATION, RELIGION, AND POLITICS.
Mr.. EDITOR 1T was once asked, "Can
there anything good come out of Nazar-
eth" The reply was, "Come and Sec"
So it may be said of this beautiful grow.
ing state :" Come and see." In pre-
vious letter to the Newsdealer, l alluded
to the mistaken impression East, respect
ing Michigan, and also enumerated some
of its material advantages. A stay here
of three months, strengthens my first fa-
vorable Impression. gur 3pP u-Ja
now propose to speak Of some of the
clements Of society. The first thing that
strikes the attention of a stranger here, is
the prominence given to education. Fore.
most in point of observation, is the school
house. A poor one is hardly to be met
but the occasions are many when the trav.
eler is led to exclaim: "what beautiful
spot and house for school !! But wher

still further to enquire /" what handsome

PRESIDENT LINCOLN.

We were not among those who advoca-
ted the electection of Abraham Lincoln to
the Presidency. 1t was not the man par
ticularly that we opposed as it was the
doctrines he and his party favored,
Owing to an unfortunate division in the
democratic party, Mr.. Lincoln was elected
and is the President Of the United States,
legally and constitutionally elected. Since
his inauguration all his acts have con-
WINGED us that Mr.. Lincoln is no ordina-
ry nan that be is honest and patriotic

comforts in sickness. Indeed, while Eng
land can boast of one noble Florence
Nightingale, we can boast of multitude
of such.
The attention of the ladies to the wants
of the Michigan l4th, quartered at Ups
ilanti have been worthy of all praise, and
the soldiers do all praise and bless them.
An occasion of very great interest was
enjoyed there about the 9Th of March,
when the ladies made present to the
regiment of beautiful silk flag, worth
$50. ...... ,...........
One very high hip bone in politics here,
is intense hatred of the "nigger." But
l am unable to see wherein the thing hat
ed, is any blacker than the thing that
hates him. l attribute, however, my
lack of sight, to the fact, that look at
the subject, through the Declaration Of
luuepeuueHCe.
Many have been afraid that the con-
servative policy of the President, and the
standstill policy of Mcclellan, meant aid
and comfort to slave holders and rebels
but they have been relieved by the late
proposal of the one, and the address II
the army of the other. Another class O
politicians arc very anxious that the con
stitution and Union shall be preserved al
before the rebellion; meaning by that
that all the infamous guarantees and con
cessions made to the slave power, shall
stand unchangd. But when these self
supported constitutlonallsts are told tina
the compromise made in the constitution
with slavery, was one of restriction, ant
not of extension, they are struck with
new idea. ......
Those guarantees should be kept ant
slaves escaping from any of the origina
thirteen states, to the free, should be re
turned. But the extension of slavery
outside of those old states, is grossly un
constitutional. Hence the extention 0
slavery in the added states, is by congrcs
sional right alone, and in violation Of tn
Constitution. Congress has the right t
abolish slavery in those states, it bein
: wholly a congressional, and not a const1
tutiosa question. 1t follows then, tina
fugitives from any of the added states ar
not to be returned, inasmuch as the COL
stitution both in letter and spirit prohib
, its the extension of slavery. But tn
test Of the question is now submitted
the sword, and the verdict hastens, Go
speed the right. a. ..r

STATE OF VERMONT.
BY FREDERICK HoLBRooK GOVERNOR.
A PROCLAMATION.

The pious heart ever finds comfort and
strength in the belief that an eternal
Mind superintends the affairs of the uni
verse, and with reverence and devotion
adopts the sublime sentiment Of the Psalm
ist: Lord, thou hast been our dwelling
place in all generations. Before the
mountains were brought forth, or even
thou hadst formed the earth and the
world, even from everlasting to everlast-
ing, thou art God" A humble trust in
Gods providence, and deep sense of His
dominion, is a disposition of mind, which
even in our darkest hours, let's in bright
rays of comfort, und amid the changes
and trials Of life, fills the heart with
cheerful hope and unrufiled tranquility ;
and when extensively pcrvading people.
affords the surest safeguard to them and

about how long we shall stay here, for it
is all uncertainty. The men of the Reg
iment continue in most excellent health,
and they are eager for more active ser
vice; but if reports (for we can get moth
ing else here)a are true, we should hardly
find any rebels in force in another four
days march-they seem very fond of the
style of Floyd. rs,7 .aitrgua2i |
Last Friday, with several other officers
of the line, started for Balls Bluff and
after ride of four miles we came to the
Ohio and Chesapeake canal, and we were
directed to go down by the canal to large
white house, near which was culvert
through which we could pass. This house
had been the headquarters of our picket
guard. 1t stands about twenty rods from
the river, and it shows conclusively that
| it has been target for rebel gunners, it
having had one cannon ball pass through
the entire house and PARTICLES of shell
strike it in various places. r.a r; .
Taking the tow path and following it
nearly mile, we came to the very ground
where those unfortunate fellows were en-
barked, on the night of the Goth Of Octo-
ber, for the Bluff. Directly across the
river is Balls Bluff, which the rebels had
left four or five days before. 1t is a dark
rugged looking bluff, some one hundred
and fifty feet high, and to get to it from
this point there is an island in the river
Of some four hundred and seventy acres
which has to be crossed. From this
point we could sec the walls of large
brick mill across the river from which
the smoke was rising, and by questioning
a citizen we learned that the rebels before
leaving for more congenial climate, ap.
piled the torch, and the mill and all its
valuable contents, which consisted Of
5000 bushels of wheat and 400 barrels Of
-four, were reduced to ashes. 1t was the
property of o man living at Leesburgh
and was valued at $4,000. A good
specimen of the vandalism of traitors
We could not pass the river here nor did
we at all, for the want of pass from the
commander of the post.
1t seems very strange that Gen. Stone
should cross the river at this point wher
there were plenty of places far more prac
: ticable, and it would seem just as effec
tual. l hope that the matter will b'
thoroughly investigated, and if there was
} fragrant wrong on the part Of the com
manders, let them receive the punishment
which they merit. s.o.Gs-

miles further down, we came to Edward

was hushed at the thought of the twenty
seven regiments which Illinois had on
that field of danger, she herself had just
sent forth four regiments and three batter
les to share the dangers and the glory of
that fight. But when it was announced
here that the fort had surrendered with
fifteen thousand prisoners, the pent up
feelings of the city found an outlet. Bells
rung cannon roared, flags waved, people
screamed, the courts adjourded, friends
met, huggcd, pounded and choked each
other, threw up their hats, the police were
ordered not to arrest any for being drunk
and proclamation was made that all per-
sons found after seven o'clock who were
not drunk, should be arrested as secession
lists. 1 will state however, lest you should
suppose that our lockups were over popu-
lated in consequence of this order, that it
has not yet transpired that any one was
arrested in that behalf, and verify be-

had their "duds" tied up in an old cloth,

From WashingtOm

WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-Orders have been
issued directing the occupancy for govern
ment purposes, of property in Washington of
persons known to be in the service of the re-
bells, including five houses belonging to Com.

DIR. Garnet, son-in-law to Henry A. Wise,
one to VIM. X. Smith, member of the rebel
congress, one to Mr.. Phillips, eX-siXth audi
tor of the treasury, one to Capt Huntington,
ex.chief of the capitol police, and several
others.
1t is ascertained from a New Grenadian of
fetal source that the government has inter-
posed no objection to free black emigration to
that republic, the policy being to encourage
the settlement of the country by those quail
fed to develope her agricultural and mineral
resources.
Lieut.. j. A. Howell and acting master S. P.
Lathrop, have been ordered to the steam sloop
of war Ossipee. Ensign S. w. Berry's order
to the Ossipee has been revoked. Acting
master Pierre Girard, and acting ensign Isaac
j. Mckinley, have been ordered to the IRON
clad steamer Montauk; acting master Will
liam Carter has been ordered to the iron clad
steamer Nahant.
The commissioner of internal revenue has
made the following decision concerning tan
ming of leather. A tanner who receives hides
from other parties upon an agreement to tan
the same by the piece OR by the pound, may
remove the tanned leather without inspection
to such owners whenever it is ready to go for
ward, having first obtained and filed in his of
flee the written certificate Of the assessor and
collector of the district in which the tannery
is situated that in their judgment such re-
moval will not be prejudicial to the admin
administration of the excise law, providing
that every tanner so removing tanned leather
shall make a monthly return to the assessor of
the district, of the number and weight of the
sides or pieces ofleather so removed, and pro-
vided also that he shall furnish to the assessor
monthly the inspectors certificate of the
weight and quality of the leather so removed
during the preceding month, and that the tax
shall be paid in the district where the tannery
is situated.

destruction, three hundred thousand dollars
the latter payment, however, to be subject to
