We are continually reminded of the un-

der's life. Within short time, two of my
comrades have been stricken by disease,
and yielded 10 that fiat which cannot he re-

We can bestow no better eulogy upon
their names, than that which they truly de.
serve, which is, they were good SOLDIERS.
Nor could we wish for more glorious cpl
taph to rest upon our own tombstones, than
that which they have earned in thus giving
their lives 10 their country. They have
gone to their long homes but their names

land. The pale, hasgard look resting on

On whom shall the curse of this great

A CAPITAL HIT.-The Rutland Herald
has the following excellent reply to those
who have turned up their noses at the ac-
ton Of the 10th regiment:
We published a short time ago some
resolutions Of The 9th Vt. regiment, read
at the recent meeting in Chester. They
have evidently affected quite seriously some
Of our democratic contemporaries. One of
them tries TO avoid their force, by accusing
the officers Of the regiment with being
abolition officers who got their appoint
menls from the abolition governor of this
State but says, should resolutions from
the I'd, Sd, 4th, 9th or 9th Vt. regiments,
who have seen service and fought under
little Mac be presented, they would be
entitled to respect One queer thing about
this is, that the abolition resolutions con-
tanned not word about slavery or the nig.
ger in any way but another, and queerer
thing is this the argument is that the
officers of the 10th are peculiarly saboli
ton because appointed by an abolition
governor. The fact is that the officers Of
the 10Th were not appointed by the gov
ernor, abolition or otherwise, but were
elected, the company officers by the respec
tive companies, and the field officers by tn,
company officers; whereas the officers O
the I'd, Sd, 4th, 9Th and 9th regiments ,cer.
appointed by the governor. Ifthere is any
thing to the argument, therefore, it turns ,

BELLOWS FALLS. MARCH Is, 1863.


The result Of the election in New Hamp-
shire on Tuesday, is glorious Union vicio-
ry,--a result which viii not be pleasing to
the rebel, or their sympa,hizers at the
North. With the absence of thousands OF
Unicn men in the army, it certainly was
exceedingly doubtful if the State could BE-
carried this spring by the Union party.
And yet il has been done, in spite of great
Heterogeneous. We not only have had
no great and overwhelming Union victories
on the battle field to give enthusiasm to the
people, since last fall, but have had to la
Dor under the sad disaster at Fredericks-
burg, and smaller ones elsewhere. The re.
suit, therefore, in New Hampshire, is truly
gratifying, and one which could hardly have
been expected under the circumstances.
At this time of writing, wednesday,
there seems TO be no d ,ubt that the Union
republicans have crrried both branches of
the legislature, by large majorites. Also
the Council. There is of course no choice
of governor by the people, as TIE Union
democrats and republicans had each sep
arate candidste. The vote in IT'S towns is
thus reported:
Gilmore, Union, 26,ssl
Hartman, 3,578-28.454
Eastman, democrat, 25722
- kssaa gsa #
So Union majority, 1922
There being no majority by the people,
the legislature elects the governor, and will
of course elect the right man. One of the
Congressional districts is in doubt. and II
may be that the copperheads have succeed
ed in that one, but the other two are Sc
cured by undoubted majorites. Possibly
the doubtful district may be settled before
going to press.
Thus it will be seen that the old Granite
Stale is true to the Union, and in favor of
q vigorous prosecution of war against the
traitors. She does not falter, and her YER
dict of 5000 majority against copperhead
democracy proves it.
