called the veteran regiments II these are raised,
there will be no further proceedings to supply
the deficiency under the draft which has already
been made. The Adjutant General says these
troops must be raised, II not BY volunteering, then
by compul4ion, Every consideration Of State
pride, urges the proper authorities, selectmen,
recruiting officers and patriotic citizens, to engage
zealousy in this work, that the State authorities
may not be under the humiating necessity Of re-
porting to the.General Government that Vermont
cannot raise the troops for which requisition is
made.
The report alludes TO, and highly praises, the
care which has been bestowed by the State au-
thorities upon the sick and wounded Vermont
soldiers in hospitals, and desevedly commends
the system and the efforts through which more
than one thousand Vermont soldiers scattered
through more than hundred general hospitals,
have been sought out and brought to Brattleboro
and Burlington, where they could breathe the pure
air Of their native State, and be accessible to their
trends.
The appendix to the report contains the Gen.
eral Orders issued during the year, the official re-
port by the commanding officers of the part Ver-
mont troops have taken in the various engage
ments in which they have participated, the reports
Of Commissioner Frank F. Hoorook, Surgeons
+. L. Phelps, and S. w. Thayer, Robert r. Cor
son, State Military Agent at Philadelphia, Col.
Frank Il. Howe, State Military Agent at New
York, David Willis, Agent respecting the Nation
al Cemetery at Gettysburg, and the Board Of
State Medical Examiners, together with the cor
respondence between Gov. Holbrook and Secre-
tary Stanton, which we have already published.
We cannot conclude this notice OF the Adjutant
Generals report without saying, that the abors
Of Gen. Washburn's office the past year, have
been varied, responsible and arduous. Fora prop
er appreciation Of their amount one has but to re-
fer to his report in detail. They have been per-
formed both with reference to the present and the
future, endeayoring TO secure the best present re-
suits and, by the preservation Of full and accu-
rate records, to furnish whatever may be necessa-
ry for future reference or use either for the bene-
fit Of the soldier, or for the ultimate purpose OF
history. The General Assembly did not do bet
ter thing during the session than when they unan-
mously reelected Gen. Washburn to the Office
Of Adjutant General

Sr. PETERSBURG, Russia, Oct. 30, The war
preparations continue here upon scale unpre-

From the Sharpshooters.
BRANDY STATION, VA, Nov. 9th, Il

BRANDY STATION, Va, Nov. 9th 1868.
We left our station near Catlet, Saturday, and
reached the Rapahannock at Kelly's Ford the
mi idle Of the afternoon, when finding that the
rebels held the opposite bank, the Sharpshoot'
ers were deployed as skrmishers and kept them
at bay till the artillery came up and got in posi-
tion, when the enemy who began to show them
sol es in force, were shsl lied till they were glad to
fall back into the woods, and our troops began
to ford the river The lst Regiment Shap Shoot
ers crossed ftst right in the face Of point blank
fl from some rebel rifle pits and dashing up
the bank, took possession of the pits and their oc-
cupants.
After sending back the prisoners, they kept
right oD to the brow Ct the hill, where was an
other line Of rifle pits, which they also captured
and held tiil after dark, keeping up continual
skirmish with the rebels in front After dark
the regiment was relieved and went to the rear,
where we could get chance to dry our cloths,
warm our benumbed limbs and get some supper
Sunday morning it was found that the rebs had
eyacunted so the army resumed its march to
ward the Rapid Ann, and proceeding cautiously
and feeling our way as it we're, we reached this
place last night In the fight Saturday, our Re-
gment did all the fighting to peak Of except
what was done by artillery, and took, in the
whole, as far as can be ascertaned, over 500 pris-
oners, whether we get credit for it or net.
Casualties in the Regiment, 3 killed and II
wounded. In Company +, one killed, private
Patrick Murray, and two wounded private Fitz
Greene llallock, in the leg, and corporal Eugene
Meade, in the side neither dangerously.
We could hear cannonading in front nearly all
day yesterday but this morning all is still. What
comes next time will tell
7. S.-Noy. l0th.-l forgot to mention that a
Ponioon Bridge was built after we crossed the
river Saturday on which the main body Of the
troops crossed.
We are still at Brandy Station. The rebels
left an extensive arrangement of winter quarters
here, nearly completed, and evidently abandoned
in hurry.
We are on the farm of John Minor Bolts, on
picket uear Brandy Station, and we have COM
menced putting up winter quarters again, at Bran
dy Station, using also those that the rebels left
behind them. w. w.

Adutant General Washburn's Annual Re-
noIt

When the annual report Of Adjutant General
Washburn was first published we called attention
to it, but were unable to give any extended no.
tice of it's contents 1t is not too late now, how
ever,to give the public some Of the more important
facts and suggestions stated in the report, and
we print below an abstract Of the most interest
ing and valuable portions OF this document.
The report states that there we're in the service
Of the United States from Vermont, at the COM
mencement Of the year, fifteen regiments Of infant
ry, one Of cavalry two batteries Of light artillery,
and three companies Of sharpshooters The lth
regiment has since been changed to heavy artl-
lery, and one battery Of l57 men bas been ad-
ded to it, and one company has been added to
the cavalry. In all 645 men have been raised
and mustered into the service in the past twelve
months
During the year, a discrepancy between the
number of troops credited to this State by the
War Department. and the number which the
State had furnished, as shown by the records in
the Adjutant Generals office, has been set right.
The account OF the State with the United States,

THE RIVER PATH.

No bird song noated down the hill,
The tangled bank below was still
No rustic from the brehen STEM
No ripple from the water's hem.
The dusk OF twilight round us grew,
We felsths falling Of the dew
For, from u.s. ere the day was done,
The wooded bills shut out the sun.
But on the riyer's farther side
We w.the hhl.tops glohhed,-
tender glow, eI seedng fair,
A dream Of day without It's glare
with Us the damp, the chill, the gloomi
with them the sunsets rosy bloom
While dark, through wlowy us'as seen,
The river rolled in shade between,
From out the darkness where We tod
We gased upon those hills Of God,
Whose light seemed not Of moon or sun
We spake not, but our thought was one.
We paused, as Il from that bright shore
Beckoued our dear ones gone before;
And stilled our beating hearts to hear
The voices lost to mortal ear
Sudden our pathway turned IroR night
The hills swung open to the Light
Through their green gates the sunshine showed,
A long, slant spendof downward flowed.
Down glade and glen and bank II rolled
II bridgsd the shaded stream with gold
And, borne on piers Of mist, allied
The sbadowy With the iunlt side
So, prayed We, when our feet draw near
Thu river, dark with mortal fear,
"Aud the night cometh chill With dew
o Fsthpr !--et Thy light break through
so let the bills Of doubt divide,
sobridge with faith the sunless tide
SO let the eyes that fall on earth
On thy eternal hills lock forth
And in thy beckoning angels know
The dear ones whom We Owed below ~
But Whitters genius, like that OF all true po
s,s, finds noble inspiration in its love Of Free
dom and the part the poor slave is acting 10 lh'

ence, has furnished themes for some OF the lines
