FIRST VERMONT BATTERY.

Capt. Hebard of the First Vt. Battery
sends the following report of the part
taken by that battery in the sigo of Port
Hudson: @ &
al left Baton Rouge for Port Hudson
May 81, and arrived at Plain Store in the
evening, in season to opeu on the enemy
that attacked Maj. Gen. Augurs division.
On the 23d joined Shcrman's I'd divis-
ion, and arrived within mile of the en-
emy's works on the 9th. The 25th-
Monday night was orderered by Sher-
man to take one section through the woods
in front Of and within two-thirds of a
mile of the rebel batteries, with instruc-
tions to open fire, test their artillery and
keep them awake at their guns, which l
did. and the rebels opened at intervals a
we'll directed fire in return. At day. break
my gunners could see their object and
fred with perfect accuracy. when the ene-
my opened two heavy batteries upon US,
doing considerable damage. During the
duel | had four men wounded, two horses
wounded and two carriages disabled. We
kept stead fire on their batteries until
afternoon, when was ordered up another
section to reinforce, aud sent the right
section, Lieut.. Rice, more to the right on
the Port Hudson Road. During the night
| kept the enemy up with a well directed
fire, and in the morning Lieut.. Rice NOV
ed still closer, and the whole battery open
ed on forty four FOUNDER rife and 81
fenced it. Lieut. Rice's section then join
ed the other sections and kept upa steady
fire until one o'clock, when, by order OF
Sherman, | advanced in line with the
stormiug party up to within four hundred
yards of the parapet and opened on the
batteries, which the infantry charged.
My instructions we're if possible to draw
the enemy's fire from infantry, and from
the whistling in the air partially sue
ceeded. The infantry were repulsed and
formed in the rear of the battery, and
all retired to the old position, our battery
bringing up the rear. i
The losses in the battery were two
killed and four wounded.
During the entire siege we were con-
tinually under fire. and often in search of
the enemy in our rear. Since the 27tn
Of May the battery has had no casual

THE DRAFT.

This happens to be very interesting sub
ject just now, 10 most of US, especially tc
those who happen to be in the wheel, y
and more especially to those who hope to be
released by reason of their town having fur.
nished more than its quota on previous
calls. Various have been the opinions
expressed as to the manner in which we
were to receive the advantage of the Order
published last week, some even expressing
doubts Of the practicability Of its appli.
cation after so many of the drafted men
had been mustered into service, saying
that too much confusion would result.
There can be no doubt, however that the
government will be true to its promises.
The Newport, Neaos of this week gives a
very sensible view of the matter, and We
quote as follows: ....,,. ...... .'
q The drafting officers have fixed the
quota for each town TO furnish The draft
has been once made, and certain num-
Der drawn from each town. These men
will be obliged to report at Burlington,
and if, the town of Derby, for example,
furnishes enough of men to ell her quota,
after all the exemptions ale made, then
this order of the War Department comes
in and discharges from the service of the
United States number of these accepted
ones, equal to the surplus for that town.
If the surplus is larger than the quota.
then we think that the whole quota will
be discharged and the town credited with
a surplus on the next draft. ,.
We see no other way for towns to get
credit for their excess on former calls
The credit will, we think, extend to able
bodied men-to those accepted on the
quota-not to those drafted-for man
is not in the service until he has been ac-
copied, and town can receive no credit
until the government knows how many to
discharge r.. o.-.... ..
1t seems to US as though some way
might be devised so that the government
need not be to the expense Of giving US
all ride to Burlington and back, just to
to find out how many of us drafted men
are fit for duty. 10 an outsider it would
seem as though the inspecting officer could
go into each snb-district to perform his
duties at "a much less expense of both
time and money than to require all the
men who are drafted to 60 to Burlington.
But since that is the way decided on, of
course We must 60, like good loyal men,
as We are.

The soldiers stopped Reading

An order has been issued prohibiting the
circulation of all newspapers in the Army
of the Potomac until further notice. This is
a very strange movement, and one it will be
very difficult for the administration to Justify
before the country. The soldiers are also
American citizens, and have a right to know
what is going on in the world. OF course it
is obvious why this order has been issued
The all but universal dissatisfaction Of the
country with the negro policy the radicals are
forcing upon the government is very clearly
indicated by the newspaper press, and feeling
is quite as common in the army as elsewhere.
The administrator hopes by this means to pre-
vent a knowledge Of their growing discomfort
from reaching the soldiers, for fear it would
affect their morale. But in this, as in all
other measures, civil and military, the admin
istration shows its want of common sense and

-AGROss THE FOUNTAINS.

Little Eddie was five years old but his
mother made the sad mistake of keeping him
away from Christian influences, she did not
consider that a child's heart cannot possibly
be kept unsown, if good seed be not early
sown there, evil seed will be, in spite of the
most fond and jealous care. But his mother
did not think SO, and her little son had never
been told much of heaven, nor of Christ, nor
of his need of Jesus, love and pity and help.
Her delusi7e idea was, that when Eddy grew
"old enough to understand such things" he
would be able to study them with a fresh I'M
prejudiced mind. All, it is to be feared that
had Eddy lived, his mother might too late
have discovered that it is a sad mistake to al
low the first years to pass without filing the,
heart with the simple teaching of its own sir
full state, and of the love of Jesus.
But Eddy was never to see the period of
manhood Of youth. AS he languished on his
bed, his mother saw him open wild his eyes,
and gaze upward and forward in a very earnest
manner.
"Mother," he said "what beautiful country
is that 1 see away far beyond the mountains.
"I see no mountains and no beautiful coun-
try, my doar child" replied the mother; but
she was awe-struck by the expression of the
little face before her.
aWhy, mother" it is there" he said, look
ing upward again so beautiful, and it is full
of happy children that never are sick any

kept pleading that they would carry him over.
last, tired with his endless entreaties he lay
a little time. Then flashing open his
ayes, he cried out joyfully and in clear strong
voice, Father, mother, don't be afraid the
man has come to carry me over the
mountains. Earthly love Embossed its hand,
Eddy had crossed the Mountains.
