EXTINCTION OF SLAVERY IN MIssoURI.-A St.
Lonis letter to the New York Commercial says
The order to recruit blacks in Missouri was
staggering blow to the remnants Of the peculiar
institution IN Missouri. The practical working
of the order is as oOws A recruiting officer
goes into district, and recruits fifty or a hun
bred uegroes-their masters receiving receipts by
which, on proof # loyalty, they will be entitled
TO compensation. The negroes come to st. Lou
is, and on an examination by surgeon, three
fourths of the recruits are declared physically
unfit for service. They are rejected, and of
course their masters receipts are null, and void.
They are held for a few days. and in default of
their masters appearance, discharged. Not one
in five of the rejected recruits ever return to sla
very. This has been the operation Of the negro
recruiting system thus far, and the exodus of ne
groes from the country is faster than ever.
Slaves slip themselves into parties of re-
eruts, arrive in St. Louis, swear they hail from
Arkansas or Mississippi, receive fee papers, &c
TITO free States and thus are lost to the South for
ever.

The 10th Vermont in Battle.

The correspondent of the New York Herald
thus describes the part taken by the LIST brigade,
Sd division, Sd corps, to which our 10th Vermont
belongs, in the recent engagement of the right
wing of the Army of the Potomac, below the
Rapdan
"The lst brigade Gen. Norris of the Sd
division (Carr's), consisting of the 10th Vermont,
l4th New Jersey and l5lst n York, did splen-
did work. This was the first severe action these
men had participated in. They are portion of
The recent accession to the corps, and have been
impatient to show the old veterans of the corps
that they were not made of inferior stuff The
opportunity well improved The rebels in
their front we're posted behind rail fence, in the
edge Of piece of timber, directly upon the crest
of hill. This position Gen. Morris carried by
brilliant charge, driving the enemy in confusion.
The rebels rallied again and attempted to retake
the position, but were successfully held at bay for
more than an hour, when the ammunition of
our men being exhausted, they were relieved by
a brigade from Barney's division. Among the
casualties in this brigade are the names OF Capt.
Wilcox, l4th New Jersey killed, and 1t. kiugsly
10th Vermont, wounded. Capt. Dillingham;,
Acting Assistant Inspector General, had his horse
shot from under him, and is among the missing.
The losses of the brigade will be about 80 killed
and $50 wounded. The brigade was actively en-
gagged nearly three hours, and Oh being relieved,
because of the expenditure of all their ammuni-
ton, reformed in good order TO the rear of the
LIST division. No veteran brigade could have
done better service or performed their part with
more steadness and courage.

GEN. SHERMAN's MARCH TO REINFORCE GRANT
A Chicago paper says that Gen Sherman, in
moving from Passport, in Northern Mississippi
TO Chattanooga, accomplished one of the most re-
markabe feats in the history of army marches.
Its course for the most part laid through the en-.
emy's country, which it " went through kiting. u
A very limited amount ofsuppes was taken along
by wagon, and the whole country for miles on
either flank was stripped of every article of food
and every pound of forage The citizens were
soreiy pressed for the necessities of life, but the
safety and sustenance of armies was balanced
against this fact, and the beam swung in favor OF
the latter. All animals capable e carrying a
soldier, bis gun and blanket, were pressed into
the service; and almost the whole command con.
sequenty came mounted Such rigs were never
seen before. Some had strapped blanket around
the frail, haggard frames ofhunger pnched horses
and were plodding leisurely along, looking like
the fit followers OF the Knight de la Mancha after
an aTduous and fruitless adventure.

The MISSISSIPPI SoUADRoN,-The naval fleet
on the Mississippi river comprises fourteen IRON
clad steamers, six rams, thirty-seven steamers
plated with sheet iron, called tin-clads," and de.
signed especially for chasing guerilla bands from
the river, seven tugs, four dispatch steamers, two
ordnance steamers and about twenty auxiliary
vessels, making in the aggregate about one hun
dred vessels constituting the squadron. In addi-
ton to this, sixteen iron clads, including ten mon
itors, five tugs and large river steamer, are in
course of construction for the service. The force
employed on the vessels nov on duty embraces
1890 officers and about $4,000 men. With such
force as this there need be no apprehension that
the rebels will ever again get toothold on the
banks of the Mississippi, or that they will inter-
fere any way seriously with the navigation on that
stream.

will he remembered that after every
victory won by our armies, there ha.
been n temporary cessation of efor

porary. They commence their infer

of cxultation in the bosoms of the
people dies out enough to leave room
for their treason; and they work vt ii
faithfully until another wave of eX-
citemcnt rolls over the country.
We eXhort the Union men of Han
cock to unceaslng, untiring vigilance.
The election of Brough, the complete
destruction Of the Coppcrhead faction
of the State, will do more toward re
storing peace, towards ending the
war than dozen victories in the field

tion of his reply to an invitation

that but for the pressure of military
duties he would be present, he said:
My views, which you ask for, are
very brief and simple. They are,
that it is and should be the undoubt-
ed and unhesitating duty of every
citizen of the republic to give his
whole energies, and to contribute all
the means in his power, to the dcterm
ined prosecution of the war, until the
integrity of the Government is re-es-

edged. Depreciating az useless all

ion there is only required union and
