COMMISSIONERS REPORT.

To His Erceliency Frederick Holbrook Co..
srnor of the State of Vermont:
Being appointed by the President, Com
sioners under the Allotment Law, to visit the
camps of Vermont troops near Washington,
explain the law, and present the rolls for
signatures, We respectfully report, That We
visited the Brigade of Infantry at Camp Grit
fin, and adopted the following plan in the
pursuance OF our duties Reporting to the
commanding officers of regiments, we pre-
sented our commissions, and were by them
introduced to the commandants of their COM
panies, who were instructed to afford US ev-
cry facility in the performance Of our duties
to all these officers we explained the United
States and the State laws, and the great IA
cilities afforded by the State Treasurer for
receiving and distributing the allotments
without expense or risk to the soldier, giving
to each the necessary blanks for the use Of
those who allot, and the allotment rolls, and
soliciting their aid in presenting the same to
the soldiers; which, with some few excep.
tons, was cheerfully rendered. The compa-
MES were then called out, and the whole
system explained by one of the commission
ers, or by the commandments. The allotment
rolls were then presented for signatures, and
each officer and private present was invited
TO sign them. The faithful discharge Of
these duties required much time, many ex-
plantations were necessary, objections had
to be removed, and the operation of suffers,
and others opposed to any system which re-
moved money from camp, had TO be counter
acted. In all cases, however, where the
officers entered heartily into the adoption Of
the system, the allotments were made freely,
and we desire to express to all who thus aided

1t will be noticed that number of COM
panies deferred their allotments uatil the next

members were in debt to the Suffers, or 9TH
ers, and it was necessary for them to pay up
before they could allot. This remark vii
also apply TO many members who have defer
red allotment. But we found it the almost
universal expression of those who thus defer
red their allotment, that they wanted to avail
themselves of the plan as soon as they could
do so. In order to complete our labors effec-
tualy, and to give to all the desired opportu-
nifty to allot, it will be necessary for one of
the Commission to visit the Brigade at Camp
Griffin previous to the next Pay Day." to
secure the large number of allotments which
we have every reason TO believe will be made

Culpepper, August IT,
The enemy appeared in force upon the
South bank Of the Rapidan Yesterday
THIS morning at sunrise he drove in our
pickets to within half a mile of General
Sigel's headquarters. Major Kechs, who
occupied the front, mounted his battalion
and advanced with two guns to meet The
enemy. Although the enemy crossed
with two regiments of cavalry and ad-
vanced boldly, he fell back precipitately
on the approach Of Major Kechs to the
South bank OF the Rapidan, where he
was supported by infantry and artillery.
AS Major Kechs approached the river the
enemy opened artillery upon him and
held him there. Both parties remain
facing each other, and it is thought the
passage of the Rapidan will be obstiDalely
contested. In skirn.ishing we lost one
Lieutenant and five priyates of the lst
Virginia cavalry.

A private correspondent from London
states that Mr.. Slidcll has arrived in that

with Mr.. Mason for the purpose of decid-
ing which was the best step to take to
hasten the recognition OF the Southern
Confederacy which seems to lave been of
late an object Of great indifference to the
English Cabinet. 1t is said the two rebels
have agreed to address note to all the
European Cabinets demanding a recogni-
ton of the Southern Confederaey, not in
the name of an abstract right, not even
IN virtue OF its manliness maintaining its
independence, but in the name Of their
legally asserted rights, of the rights
upon which foreign nations have acted

In the meantime, what is the occupa.
ton of the Federal Legislators? w liriie
their chief General is shut up in little
patch of ground under the protection Of
his gunboats, and the President is in vain
asking for volunteers to reinforce him.
while the reckless policy of the dominant
party is urging even the Unionists Of the
border States into opposition and rousinc
a spirit of desperate resistance in the
Southwest. the two Houses, as they exist
at Washington, are engaged in passing
what they call con6ssation bill, deyoting
to capital punishment eight millions Of
people! II is impossible to conceive
more impotent display Of spite than this
piece of legislation, which the Republican
party would not consent to modify, oven
at the instance of Mr.. Lincoln. The idea
Of further cmbittering An already hopeless
struggle by threatening the whole South
srn population with death, or five years,
imprisonment, could enter only into the
minds of the men who were SO anxious
last year to carry out their political theory
by executing . privateer's crew at the
certain cost Of bloody reprisal on Fed
ersl prisoners. At the present time the
number of Northern soldiers in the hands
of the Confederates probably exceeds that
of the Confederates who are prisoners at
the North, and any attempt to add to the
horrors OF the war by series of judicial
murders would provoke the just retalia-
ton of the Confederates. Happily, i, is
certain that no ruler will ever dare to put
in force thfs scandalous law. 1t will only

EDITORS CHICAGO TRIBUNE There is
another book of wars which our Generals
would do well to study along with Hsr-
dee's Tactics. Some u them who have
so nearly apotheoeized the slaves that they
dare not use the sacred thing in warfare,
might be relieved in their CONSEQUENCES by
an example from Holy Writ. The Anal.
ek'tes had invaded Judah, burned tie CITY
of Z'glag, and carried the women and
children away captive, among them King
David's :ko wives. The King incurred
of the Lord and gained permission TO pur.
sue the invaders with his army. While
on the march he found an Egyptian slave,
who had lain three days and three nights
upon the field, having been left sick by
his master, one Of the retreating Anal
ckites. But so far from turning this de
serted slave out Of the lines and proclaim
ing an "Order No. 5" David gave him
bread and water, and figs and raisins, to
revive his fanished slave, and then ques-
toned him.
"Canst thou bring me down to this
company p And he said, GSwear unto
me by God, that you will neither kill me,
nor deliver me into the hands Of my mas
ter, and | will bring thee down to this
company. David took the oath; and the
slave took them down to the camp of the
enemy, who were eating and drinking
and dancing over their victory and their
spoils. And David smote them from
morning till night, and not one escaped
except four hundred who fed on csmels.
Ine captlves and all the spoils we're re-
gained and the focks and herds Of tho
enemy were driven off. All of this viii
oe found IN the tAirtieth chapter Of First
Samuel, from which lot US Learn that the
slaves will not join our side in the great
evil war until we swear unto them that
VIC will not return them to their masters.
