OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR OFF THE HERALD While re-
cruitng is going actively forward in the 10y
al States there are thousands Of troops in and
around Washington who are not equipped or
but indifferently armed.
The Sharp Shooters, some OF whom have
been here for three months, now have the
premise that in one month arms will be fur
nished them.
The Cavalry are in the worst condition Of
all the troops, not that any suffer for want OF
the necessaries of life, but many Of the regi-
ments have only their sabres, and others &C
tually stand guard armed only with sticks
These men are much disheariened, some hay-
ing been here long time, and the opinion
prevails among them that they are soon to
be disbanded but this is not probable, for
barracks are rapidly being erected for them
TO winter in, Many regiments Of infantry,
too, al G but poorly armed, having only the
smooth bore musket, although they have been
promised butter guns. .-...
This you will remember is this side OF the
Potomac and the troops in front OF the enc
my are doubtless better prepared.
Now the thought naturally arises, why are
recruits being enlisted while there are already
so many thousands in the field not properly
equipped Do unarmed men give strength
and efficiency 10 an army? But then would
the authorities incur needless expense by
enrolling men whom they betieved would new
er be wanted in action? If not, then they
believe the war is not near It's end for it must
be many months before men now enlisting
viii be able TO meet the enemy.
1t has been supposed by many that a win
ter campaign in Virginia was impossible ow-
ing to the state Of the roads at that season,
but up 10 this date it has been good fighting
weather. No snow, very little rain and warm
days. To an observer there appears no rea-
son why our army should not advance and it
is the wish Of every soldier that be may soon
see the enemy.
The Vermont Cavalry arrived last
Wednesday and are now encamped in the
city. The boys are looking we'll but many
of the horses are dying. They will probably
not cross the river tins winter unless our
forces make an advance. 5ds p.

THE ENGLISH EMBROGLIO

1t is useless to undertake, were we 81
disposed, to disguise the fact that the mon
arches of Europe are intensely hostile t.
the Republicanism in America,-that the
Governments Of Europe regard the pres
ent rebellion as the Initial step to the fnal
overthrow and extinction of Liberal In
situations. Hl
Great Britain is especially bitter tow.
ards us, and it is the opinion of the lead.
ing statesmen in this country, that she
seeks pretext to lend her aid to the trail
tor government in the South. Hence her
demand for the unconditional surrender of
Mason and slidell as preliminary to en-
tering upon any negotiations looking to a
settlement OF the affair demand which
finds no warrant in international law, on
in the practice of Great Britain for GEN.
fury past. Even if the arrest of the reb
ell commissioners was irregular for not tax
ing the Trent also, and bringing her into
port for adjudication in admiralty, this af-
fords no warrant in law or justice for the
demand by Great Britain that we should
deliver up the ambassadors. 4laa y
If the British Cabinet have predeter-
mined to engage in the strife on the side
of the rebels and against the United
States, it will be easy to find a pretexs.
Should our,government yield to the AFRO
giant demand to place Mason and Slidell
upon the quarter deck of British man
of-war, that act of humiliation would not
secure peace, if indeed Great Britain
thinks it her ipolicy, as now seems evident
to force war with US, while such a sur.
render on the other hand, would only ex-
asperate, beyond measure, the loyal sense
of the American people. We sincerely
hope the administration has no such hui
initiating cup in preparation for our lips.
Let the negotiation tax, any form, and
have anyfresult than that of requiring US
to deliver up our own citizens who have
levied war against the Union, and have
engaged in the overthrow of the Consti-
tuition. .h.s5 81

BATTLES IMPENDING.

The Richmond Dispatch of the 23d inst,
at the conclusion of a long article upon
the present situation, declares " that all
the circumstances of the hour unite to
force on two great battles in the next few
days." one on the banks of the Potomac,
and the other in Kentucky. The Dis
patch says that the South is ready for the
fray, but admits that in the event of the
Confederate armies being defeated in both
fields, she could hardly expect, for some
time, to get together two armies of any
magnitude, and would have to depend al
together upon the virtues of Fabian pol
icy, and general system of skirmishing
against the enemy" This is very differ
ent from the loud, arrogant boasting which
the same paper INDUCED in few months
ago. Then the prediction was made that
the secession army would soon be in pos
session of Washington and Baltimore, and
that New York would be at the mercy of
a Southern invading force. Now the
Dispatch ponders over the possibility Of
defeat in both Virginia and Kentucky,
and talks in despairing tones about the
possible necessity of being compelled to
resort to a general system of skirmishing
We hope the battles which the Dispatch
calls for will soon take place. We have
the utmost confidence in the capacity of
our troops to drive the rebels both in Vir-
ginia and Kentucky. The work would
undoubtedly be bloody, but it would be
decisive We are disposed to await the
the order of Gen. Mcclellan but we sin
cerely hope that we shall not be compelled
to wait many days. Give US action
ACTION!

s'lhe Rutland Daily Herald is improv-

We do not regard II improper TO an
nounce that the Biographical Sketches Of the
Men Of Vermont" which are in course of
Puo'o@''on y. Iaa Gerald, are prepared by
VHAU|-ccY X. WILLIAMS, Esq, of this vii
lage, son of the late Governor Williams,
Nor will il fail to add TO the interest with
which these articles will be read, and TO the
confidence reposed in their exact historical
accuracy as general thing, when ii is known
that much of the material from which they
are compiled was collected by Judge Williams
in the course Of bis long life time, and placed
in available form for future use. In an obi
uary notice of Judge Williams delivered to
the Bar of Windsor County, shortly after his
decease, by Judge RedGeld, the statement
was made, that "he, more than any oihel
man, from lis long residence in the State,
and hls public position, and lis capacity, and
taste, also, for such matters Of investigation,
possessed minute knowledge Of the hisor,
OF our legislation, and the traditional history
OF our judicial decisions" The same taste
for investigation made him also familiar with
the traditional and personal history of The
leading men Of our State.
The writer Of these Sketches, has also h
taste for Antiquarian research, and has found
pleasure in following out, adding to, and
compiling the material relating to the history
of onr State, collected BY Judge Williams.

by any possibility be brought into the field

The fighting men of the border States

State alone would be more than a match
for both the Canadas. The fighting men
of New York, estimated as one in ten to
the population, are $4,000, or, in the ra-
ito of the military population Of the Can
adas, of more than three to two. And if
England should land an invading army in
Canada to unite with the forces of the
province in marching over our frontier,
the border States could be easilysupport-
ed by the tier of populous States immedi-
ately behind them. In the event Of war,
however, that would not be at all likely
Canada and England would be only too
glad to maintain the defensive by land,
whatever part British wooden walls"
might act in the drama. Far more likely
would it be that the invasion should pro-
coed from this side of the line; and if it
should be attempted there can be little
doubt that this time it would prove COM
plete success, and the Union Jack would
soon cease to wave in either of the two
Canadas. Union with our States which
border them is their manifest destiny, and
the contamination is only question OF
time.

CANADA AND THE FRONTIER
STATES

Canada is divided from the United
States by New York, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Maine and Michigan; and in
the event of war with England the bur-
then would chiefly fall upon them in de-
Tending the coun try from invasion or in
carrying hostilities over the border. So
says the New York Herald.
The census returns will show how these
States could sustain themselves, and what
feeble resistance Canada could offer to
their arms, The census of Canada, tax
en- this year, shows the following number
of inhabitants in each section:
Canada East, bordering on New
England. $500. ..... 1,003,666
Canada West, on New York and
Michigan borders. ...... l,395,222
