~-~-~----
THEIR POLICY AND OUR DUTY.-All indlca-
tons 90 to show that, if the Federals make any
demonstration against at all the present winter
it will be Simultaneous movement from all points
where they have obtained foothold, on land and
sea. Such blow will be doing things a grand
scale, and should be prepared to resist it still
more grandly. We rather like the comprehensive
idea. 1t looks like bringing matters to a crisis,
and deciding at once the great issue of supremacy.
We should be sorely crippled did the enemy sue
coed, and failure their part will! be fatal to
them. It would close the war; and establish Con-
federate independence.
How important, then, that our army should be
prepared at every point that they be armed with
the material weapons of warfare, and animated by
a spirit that is resolved never to surrender nor
know defeat. Our troops should 60 into the fight
with no such word as Fail in their vocabulary.
The struggle will be terrible, and they should 60
into it with the firm resolve never to be whipped.
Meet them boldly at every point, and fight until
the last shall expire. 1t is only in this way
that contend successfully with the vast
odds arrayed against We cannot afford to fall,
for us all.
SHOES AND CLort11NG-The Richmond cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier, says:
Some large shoe manufacturers from the
South have just gone home from Richmond i'm
pressed with the idea that shoes won't SELL So
great impetus given to the manufacture
several months ago by the knowledge that the
supply was giving OUT, that the market is now
getting to be overstocked The Confederate Gov
ernment has six huGdred cases of army shoes on
hand, over and above the demand, and the Gov
eminent contractors are furnishing it with a con-
slant supply of two hundred additional pair per
diem. The plethora is observed in the
article of clothing. In the clothing bureau of the
War Department, are one hundred thousand suits
of clothing on hand. The donations of individual
States to their own volunteers have materially
lessened the demand on the Confederate Govern
ment. The blankets brought by the Fingal are
being transformed into handsome and comfortable
oyercoats"

A YANKEE SERhoN.-The rev. DR.. Cheever has been
delivering sermon in New York the Mason Slidell
affair and the management of the war by the Lincoln
Administration. The New York Herald gives sketch
of the sermon and says it appauded vociferousy
by the congregation, reminding of a political
meeting in Tammany Hall more than of service in a
house dedicated to God. The preacher contended
that Mason and SlideH should have been hung for
treason and not surrendered to Great Britain, no
matter if all the nations of the earth threatened to
make against u.s." He advocated the complete
adjustment of slavery and riLiculed the Admnistra-
ton for acting entirely the abolition principle
What can be expected of people whose idea of
religion leads their preachers 20 mock God the
Sabbath by indulging in political harangues? while
their congregations cheer and applaud

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE,
From the llth Vermont Regim nt

Mr.. EDITOR Our regiment has had a
very pleasant experience so tar, since
coming to the seat OF war. The day
after reaching Washington we had a
march of about twelve miles, which
seemed rather hard for men unused to
carrying the knapsack and accoutrements
piled upon our volunteers in fact when
we halted after dark in an open field, we
we're ready enough to lie down without
waiting longer than was necessary to I'M
strap our blankets. Since that we have
been busy of course, but as We have one
of the finest camping grounds in the Dis
trict of Columbia, plenty to eat, beautiful
weather, confidence in our field and gen.
eral officers, and everything in fact as
pleasant as we could wish--far more SO
than we could expect, the men are feeling
almost as though they were having
holiday. We know however, that we
are liable to move at any time, and the
Eleventh will always be found ready.
We are complimented on every hand as
the finest regiment that has ever left
Vermont, and we mean to sustain our
reputation.
We are stationed at Fort Lincoln, the
headquarters of the detences OF Washing
ton north OF the Potomac. The Fort
stands on hill some four miles north OF
the CITY, halt mile east of the Baltlmore
railroad. Col. Gibson, a captain IN the
regular army, and at present OF a Penn
sylvania regiment is in command OF the
brigade, including chain Of forts AND
ramparts seven miles in length. Gen
Banks is our division commander.
When we came here, there was con
siderable apprehension of an attack. Ii
the rebels had attempted to approach
Washington from Maryland, they mus
have passed within half a mile of our pc
sition. The defences in this region were
strengthened as rapidly as possible;
chain of rifle pits was dug connecting the
forts, of which our regiment dug nearly
two miles. We worked willingly anc
completed our job just as we heard o
McClellan's victory Probably however
we shall keep on entrenching as long a
we remain stationary. Our colonel i
assiduous in his endeavors to improve
the discipline of the men, and when WI
meet active service we mean to give ;
good account of ourselves.

STATE OF vERMONT.

ADJ. AND Msp GENERALS OFFICE,
Woodstock, Sept. IL. 1862.
The following extract from General Or
der No. 12l, from the War Department,
dated August, 1921 is published for the in
formation OF all concerned:
"As the sudden call tor volunteers and
militia has exhausted the supply of blankets
fit for military purposes, in the market, and
and it will take some time to procure by
manufacture or importation sufficient sup
ply, all citizens who may volunteer or be
drafted are advised to take with them to the
rendezvous, if possible, good stout WOODEN
blanket. The regulation military blanket i:
s4x6s inches, and weighs Eve pounds.
{" As all clothing, blankets, and shoes is
sued by the United States to its troops are
charged at average cost, and no soldier wht
furnishes his own blanket is required to dl av
one, it is to his interest o supply himself, ant
thereby avoid much discomfort, as it is i'm
possible to supply all the troops immedi
dtely."

mirable. Shells would drop right among
the columns Of the enemy as they were
attacking our lines, and it was worth
long pilgrimage by land and sea to have
witnessed their operations.
FIrz JOHN poRTER's CORPS,
was held in reserve the entire day, and
have not had an opportunity of showing
on this battlefield the bravery and worth
which they have shown so frequently be-
FORE These, with others of our reserve
of which | think not proper to mention,
may have again tomorrow an opportunity
of showing the same good courage and dis
plne which all have shown in the fight of
Wednesday
RESULTS OF Tar DAY.
The enemy were slowly but surely
driven before us at every point Our
lines nave encroached upon them after a
most desperate resistance for from Two to
three miles. No gun has been captured
on either side. That we have driven the
enemy from every position that he has
taken most determinedly, and held with
the greatest persistency, ;;ss the tn. great fact
which places the balance of this days
fighting most decidedly and emphatically
in our favor. Not point has he taken
from us, and we have pushed him back tc
very dangerous proximity to the Poto'
mac. In the desperateness of his case, he
may yet accomplish something, but hi;
army is badly cut up and despirited, while
ours, though having suffered severely, il
yet inspirited and eager.
COMPARATIVE LOSSES.
We have had very heavy loss. Prob
ably not less than ten thousand. The en-
envy have, without doubt, suffered mucl
more. The masses of men which they
have sacrificed in fruitless attempts t.
capture our batteries, the piles which
they have left of their dead upon the field
cut down by our cannon and our muskets
show that their loss was much heavie
than our own. So tbickly together ha,
the rebels fallen at one place, and in
long line, that our reserves, coming fires
upon them, thought it a column OF livine
rebels lying upon the ground and read
to rise
