FROM THE nth REGIMENT.

The following extract is from letter
of A W Howard dated at Fort Slocum,
Feb. 18th.
The health of the Co. and Reg. is quite
poor. There has been several cases Of the
small pox, and great many are coming
down with the measles.
The weather here one week ago this
morning, was very cold indeed the ground
was bare and frozen in many places to the
depth of foot There were few flakes
of snow falling, and the wind was blow
ing furiously. 1t reminded us of old Vt.
in earnest. | went out on picket that
morning about three miles from camp.
The weather began to moderate soon after
we started, and by ten o'clock in the fore
noon it was showing rapidly. The storm
continued through the day without inter-
mission, and at dark there was about four
inches of snow on the ground The storm
then turned to rain, and it rained all night.
in the morning the snow had disappeared,
the brooks had swollen, and we and the
world generally, Gas far as we from our
point of observation could see) were in a
very moist condition and you can imag
inc that our journey back through the mud
ranging from three inches to a foot il
depth, carrying our arms and equipments
blankets and overcoats, was not well cal
culated to inspire us with patriotic zeal il
the service of our country, but neverthe
less we are still able to say, (and from thu
heart, too, "long live the union" anc
"down with the traitors"

mand of a small force and occupy the
upper part of Ford's barn, which on arri-
wing there found to command a very
good rife range of he.principal ford in
the river. In the barn was one horse and
three cows, but not straw to make us a
bed. So we laid down on the bare floor
of the scaffold, and kept as still as we
could during the long, weary night. l
allowed the men to sleep except two at
time, who kept u "strict and most obser-
want watch" and tried to sleep myself,
but in that we had poor success, for the
night was cold, and the boards of the
barn were off, leaving us exposed to the
raw breeze.
But having fallen once asleep, I awOke
after awhile with cold, and lay a little
while quietly listening when heard some

Our regiment continues very healthy,

ACCIDENT. = Levi Edgerton, of thsi
town. got very badly hurt on Monday Of
last week, so that it is thought doubtful
if he ever RECEIVERS. He was in his barn,
putting up his cattle, and had succeeded
in fastening three or four, when several
others came in together, and in the con-
fusion he got thrown down, and had his
hip so badly fractured that he was unable
to get to the house, and it was about two
hours before help came to him, as his son
who is living with him was absent at
Morrisville.

@SEwING MAcHINEs.-We are now
prepared to offer to the public the best
sewing machine in the market, manufac-
tured by Grover & Baker, of N Y. Any
one intending to buy machine, should be
careful not only to get the best machine
but to get one of parties who have The
right to make and sell them. Many Of
the machines in market are from person;
who are infringing on the rights Of others
and are liable to be at any time suppress
ed, and SO the purchaser is left without
any source from which to get new sup
ply of needles or any other of the many
things liable to be wanted in keeping ;
machine in order Grover & Baker ar,

ronage.

said "V. II. K" is all right and we give

necessary for us to have some guarantee

into trap, or that what might at first APP
pear only a harmless piece of pleasantly,

character when viewed from another point
and 50 we always require the real name Of
the person sending us anything for publ
cation. Persons sending us articles unac-
companied with their name, therefore, need
not expect to see them in print.

DEc1DEDLY CooL.-H. Smith of Stowe,
reports that at about sunrise on Thursday
morning the 9th inst, at his residence the
thermometer indicated 60 degrees below
zero, degree of cold so much below what
is commonly reached in this country, as
to be considered a wonder. The instru-
ment is one of the spirit thermometers
made by his son ] W Smith, who is known
to produce reliable work, Several persons
took each several observations to convince
themselves that they could not be mista-
ken, and came to the conclusion, the ther-
mometer did actually indicate a degree
of cold amounting to 60 degrees below zero,

FROM THE 18TH REGIMENT.

We clip the following from letter
published in Walton's Daily, of Tuesday,
and dated at Camp near Wolf Run Shoals,
on the Occoquan, Feb. 18th:
ave have the inevitable and almost
unfathomable mud of Virginia in the
winters and for some days it was all the
teams could possibly do to draw us sufi-
cient provisions and forage But with
characteristic energy the men of these two
regiments went to work, and corduroyed
the road for the most part of the way be-
tween the station and here, distance of
about six miles, and now we have less
difficulty, though our transportation is at
best hard. We have also thrown up rife
pits along the river in positions command
ing the ford, besides corduroying the
streets Of our camp, to keep us out of the
great lake of mud. Our regular detail
for picket IS about four men from each
company per day, with one or two COM
missioned and three or four non-commis-
stoned officers. They are thrown out in
squads or detachmcnts up and down the
river, to guard small fords and generally
each detachment has one or two men Of
the I'd Michigan cavalry who are en-
camamped few miles to our rear, to act
as orderlies, and communicate with the
camp in case of trouble. Once in while
there will be an extra picket detail called
for to meet some unexpected emergency
or quiet some sudden fear, and then 'hur

COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
THOUGHTS FROM Johnson.

Mr.. EDITOR; In your last issue, your
correspondent Lamoille River" seems to
think this favored town in relation to
affording facilities for getting "disguised, "
as well as beastly drunk" if a man is
so disposed. Now, in defense of the NOR
ais of the denizens of this goodly village,
no less than the official conduct of our Of
fcials, | wish to say word aud in SO
doing | will not deny that liquor may be
obtained here in quantities to suit pur-
chasers, anywhere from a gallon upward,
in fact, we do not deny that we have an
agency where i" the critter" is kept-and
kept expressly for saJe-and we never
dreamed that the agent had been guilty
Of selling any more or any less, than he
could get his pay for. Bat what of it !?
Did not the freemen of the county, at
their last annual March Meeting, in their
sovereign capacity, by their votes for
County Commissioner, VIRTUALLY declare
that they would not have our Prohibitory
Law enforced any farther than to allow
one man IN each town to sell all he could,
and make all he could out of it? In fact,
our good, sober minded citizens, who saw
fit to choose different policy, and were
in favor of having the law enforced ac-
cording to It's intent, were simply outvot-
ed, and like a respectable minority, as
they were, have very tamely submitted to
1.-THE powers that be-" well knowing that
the "sound men" as well as "peace off.
GERS" are not apt to make war upon the
measure Of the majority, when properly
expressed. Now if it would be desirable
to inaugurate different policy for the yeal
ensuing it may Be done, by simply saying
at the ballot box, at our next March meet
ing, that such is the will of the majority
and electing to the important and respon
, sable office of County Commissioner,
, man of some principle and integrity O
character man who is known BY
his antecedents to be staunch friend o
: morality and public virtue-not to sa,
> temperance. If there is any temperate
} feeling in the county let it be called to
! gether and concentrated upon some mai
fit to fill the position, and see if Their
Q cannot be ono candidate put into the felc
: by somebody. beside himself. One VIII
will care more for temperance and morali
' ty than for rum and plumber.
: 1t is said that our present agent restiv
= and impatient under the wholesome res
e traint little though it beg Of the presen
h administration, aspires to the exclusiv
q control of the rum-selling interests q
@ the county--in the character Of Commits
s sioner-and that too, with fair show q
n success. We who know whereof we affirm
: cannot conceive that the freemen of La
j noble County are yet ripe for the pcrpt
! tration of so gross an outrage, not onl
6 upon temperance and morality, but upo
h integrity and common honesty. We al
Q bound to believe, until convinced to th
+ contrary, that there is decency enough i
the county to rebuke, most pointedly an
effectually, such lofty aspirations.

than her just share, and having smaller
