a line Of battle and held it all day though
the enemy attacked the centre fercely.
Monday night we got orders to fall back
to Chattanooga and we did so, arriving
here at just daylight on Tuesday. We
are now strongly fortified and do not fear
the enemy much. The only chance they
have Of getting us out of this is to cross
the river and flank US, and this l think
they do not dare to do. We shall soon
have large reinforcements and then look
out secesh, that's all. We were badly
used up in the last engagement, but far
from whipped l assure you. l do not
despair of seeing Atlanta yet.
The enemy is in force not one mile
away; their pickets are in plain sight of
ours we have a great deal of picket
firing every day, but as yet but little
damage has been done. Maj. Gen. Pal
mer was severely wounded yesterday in
picket skirmish.
The enemy promised to send in our
wounded to-day. | think they have CIV
en- them every attention their limited
supplies would admit of.
Chattanooga, the main part of the town,

though not more than a half mile away.

of the war not easily forgotten.

north, to Wolf Run shoals on the south

At this hour, Lee having been foiled
in his grand endeavor to annhilate
Meade, has fallen back towards the Rap
pahannock discomftted, detected and dis
gusted. A heavy reconnaissance is again
advancing in that direction, and from the
nights of CentrevIe can be heard our
guns announcing that we have met the
rebel outposts.
When Gen. Warren was attacked at
Brstow, he threw bis infantry from a
hill, south of the road, down through
swampy ground, and ensconced them
along the embankment of the railroad
under a shower of shell and musketry.
The raw conscripts, and there were many
hundred of them in this command, gave
themselves up for lost, Pale and tremb-
ling, they Involuntary went forward,
took positions with their comrades, and
performed their portion of the fight.
Every whistling rifle ball, every shrek
ing shell, they apprehended was destined
to destroy them individually. 1t was
beyond their comprehension when told
that they had met, charged and beaten a
braye enemy in fair fight, and captured
several hundred of Hills corps, 5 guns
and 3 standards, besides killing and
woundng hundreds of the rebels, and
that they had come out of the conflict
unhurt. Their immediate commanders
say that they fought equally with those
of two years experience, exhibiting no
signs Of fear when the first impulse had
passed.

OLD AND SMART.-A Mrs. Cox o,
Holderness, N. H., in the 8Sth year o.
her age, in company with her two broth
ers from Danville, one in his Seth year
and the other in his Saith, visited theiI
relatives in Barton-J. G. Halls and
X. Drew's-last week, by private con-
veyance. They have been accustomed
to visit their friends in this county for
many years past, and they think it quite
likely that this is not the last time they
will visit Orleans county. They drove
their own horses which were OF the old
Morgan stamp, full of grit, but under
good subsection to their aged masters
They chose to be their own grooms, we're
all very healthy, hearty, and strictly tens
perate in their habits, would have but enc
cup of tea at meal time, but wanted that
to be of good quality. They have all
buried their companions. During her
visit the old lady was very busy knitting
feelings; her fingers piled the needles as
nimbly as any Of our modern young la
dies.

john G. BUswELL ACQUITTED
At the session of the United States Cir
cult Court, just held at Rutland, the ole
case u. S. VS.. John c. Boswell, on ar
indictment for fraudulent practices with
the Pension Department, was tried and
resulted in a triumphant acquittal and
a complete vindcation of Mr.. Bus.
wells innocence. The Court distinctly
charged the jury that the evidence did
not show that any of the parties fol-
whom Mr.. Boswell acted as agent, were
not entitled to all they claimed, and il
was necessary TO prove that Mr.. Bus
well had knosoingly transmitted false pa
pers. Mr.. Buswell's counsel claimed
that the offences were barred by the
statute of limitations but the Court
overruled that defence, except in one of
the several counts, and as that count was
substantially involved in another the
whole case, fortunately for Mr.. B., was
submitted to the jury under the charge
of the Court upon its merits. No evil
dence whatever was offered by Mr..
Boswell. After an absence of but few
minutes the jury returned with a verdict
of not guilty. This prosecution has cost
Uncle Sam money enough to half if not
quite equip regiment.

Let US then at the outset give every pos
sible aid to our country, and try to pro.
mote enlistments by every possible means,
by arguments, by persuasions, by liberal
bounties, and above all by the example
of our own names upon the roll of re-
cruits. This appeal is made not only to
those of "the manor born," but it is
equally incumbent upon men of foreign
birth who have not declared their nten.
ton of becoming citizens of the United
States. Although there is no law that
can compel them to bear arms, the duty
to do SO is no less imperative upon them
than upon Americans. The country
shields them, feeds them they draw sus-
tenance from it without yielding any re-
turn therefor; they should be ready to
do so, and not as is the manner Of some,
when a draft is ordered, sneak off to the
"nearest British CONSUL and claim his pro-
lection on the plea of "alienage." We
are willing to give unnaturalized foreign
ers the same privileges that our own cit
liens possess, but they should ask for no
special immunities over our own citizens.
And a patriot will not ask it. 1t is very
pretty in them to pirate of sour country"
but which country do they mean when
they talk thus? Is it the United States,
or is it foreign government that they
mean?
In conclusion, let Vermont be the first
state to respond to the call of the presi-
dent, and let Orleans county be the fore
most in the state to gil her quota. Rally
round the flag, boys
