The officers OF the 9Th Regiment of the YER
mont Volunteers, DESTROYS of expressing their re-
spect for the memories of Capt. John S. Clark
Co. K, and Capt. S. G. z. Craig, Co. G, and their
sympathy with the bereaved relatives, met in

lowing resolutions
Resolved, That as we have met with an ire
parable loss in the death of our respected broth

privilege and due to their bravery and merits to
declare to the people of Vermont our loss, which
also is theirs, and to express our sympathy to
those friends who mourn their loss at home.

relations with the now deceased brothers for the
last fifteen months, we have found them worthy

Domestic Happiness.

Is there bliss to be found in the regions below,
Where care forms no arrows envenom'd to throw,
A from the wild brisr tree
Where the mind dwell, remote from ambitions extreme
And peace sheds her soft and muniheent beam
IT'S the cottage which stands stream
With sesd peaceful family.
No honors they court from the lords OF mankind,
No pleasures beyond, what at home they may hnd,
frugal ard competent cheer;
No profusion Of glitterng wealth do they crave,
But life's blooming comforts they constantly have
As the fruit of their tolls, which they prudentIy save
Aud with generosity share.
There's richness Of urtue enobles their hearts
Improved by the graces religion mpans,
As charms that with innocence blend
The demon of i'll from the circle is driven,
And each grateful bosom receives what is given,
With perfect delight, as the bounes Of heaven
Which Providence pIeases to send.
Free, unrestrAined friendship by all is expressed,
And each with the fondest 6eneuoienes blest
In mutual harmony move
The parents direct with a6eetionate sway,
And guide their loved charge with mndeH display,
And thus glide most happy their seasons away.

And kindntss, and social eosteStment abound,

ued yesterday and to-day with scarcely mo-
ment's pause until now, at II O'Clock, we have
rest. The fight is terrible $4,000 men on our
side are fighting, in open woods, against $4,000
in very strong fort, surrounded by several tiers
of earthworks. Artillery and infantry are fight
ing constantly. They are steadily advancing aud
driving the enemy inch BY inch inside. The
wounded are many and the killed, happily, CON-
paratvely small, though we have to acknowledge
the loss Of our dear Capt. Hubbard, A. A. g.,
Lieut.. Wro.rowski Typographical Engineer, and
Lieut.. Col Lull of the Sth N. Y.--all shot in the
head while following up charge by the 9th VI,
ia which Col. Thomas had the skin taken of his
left temple by minnie ball +; but fortunately he
was little harmed. Col. Thomas commands our
brigade, while Gen. Weitzel has command of
$4,000 troops. He has done all the fighting sol
far.

thrown up, is deep ravine or gully filled with
bushes and in this "gully," behind logs and sumps,
the Reserve Brigade have succeeded in getting.
TO reach it, however, they had to march down

enemys cannon and rifles, but they reached it

they lay too low to be reached by cannon, watch
