WAR NEWS.

The news of the week is of a very in
teresting character. The attack on
Charleston was made on Tuesday the 9TH
inst, by nine Monitors and the ship Iron
sides. The cannonading continued till
4 o'clock when one Monitor, The Keoauk,
was sunk, and the Ironsides withdrew.
The fight was soon discontinued. and had
not been renewed at last advices. No
great damage seems to have been done
the rebels.
From North Carolina VIC learn that Gen.
Foster is in a very critical position at
Washington, with a small force, and that
the attempt to send him reinforcements
from Newborn had failed. 1t is feared
that he will have to surrender.

FROM THE 18TH REGIMENT.

A. w. Howard brother of ours, writes
from Washington on the 9th, and gives
some information that may be interesting:
Last Saturday was very muddy day
here; the roads were getting dry, and oe-
casionally the air would be full of dust
and leaves, as it is of snow, sometimes up
there in the month of March, The wealth
err is quite changed now. A few fakes of
snow began to fall Saturday night, think
it must have showed all night, for in the
morning there was eight or ten inches of
snow on the ground. 1t showed more or
less all day yesterday Sunday and last
night, it froze quite hard 1t is warmer
to-day, and the snow is melting quite fast,
but it will take another good warm day
to carry it off, Perhaps you think this is
queer weather for this part of the country
at this season of the year. It is very un-
commonly backward and cold, but we hope
for better weather soon.
| believe | have never told what kind
of a place Dwight, (our brother) lives in.
1t is on the continuation of seventh street,
and four miles from the City. The house
is large, and the main body of it is three
stories high, with a square fat roof, and
an observatory where we can look down
on the city, the Potomac, Alexandria and
the Navy Yard, &C. | have enjoyed my
self very much, looking at the different
objects with field glass. The house is
built on a gentle eminencc, about ten
rods from the road, and surrounded by a
splendid grove, mostly of oak and chest
nut trees. The house is neatly finished
on the inside, though not built 50 substan.
TALLY, and does dot offer 80 good pro-
lection against the cold, as the houses al
the North.
The lst Lieut.. and Orderly sergeant, Of
Co. ID, with their wives, live in a part o.
the house, and Lieut.. Col Benton, board,
with them. Surgeon Porter also occupies
room, and there are four or five rooms
now unoccspied.
Mr., Emery, (the man that owns thu
place, lives in the City, in the winter, bu

been visited by the guerrilla parties of the

the 18th was ordered here, if they are
considered sneaking fellows. | do not
like the idea of having my noble Regl-

worthy of publication, it may not be I'M

few in the hospital, and nearly all are on

April LIST, 1868. {

DEAR OLD Boss Here am again in
camp at Fort Slocum, among the boys
from Orleans | found them all right end
up, in good spirits enjoying themselves
first rate. Some were playing cards, some
dice, some reading newspapers, novels, or
love letters. Some cleaning their guns,
backing their belts, or securing their
brasses. Some were on guard, some on
picket, some on fatigue, some in the hos
pital, and the rest scattered here and there,
according to detail.
The weather for the last two weeks has
been very stormy, and almost cold enough
to freeze the ears off a cast-iron image
yet the boys do their duty without q
grumble, and keep out of the bomb-proot
as much as possible. Guard duty has
been pretty hard this winter, as we have
had three different kinds to perform, viz
picket-guard, post guard and BLACKBOARD

for medicinal purposes have right to ex-
pect a pure article, and the man who
would be instrumental in furnishing an
adulterated article deserves no better treat
ment than does he who would sell an i'm

FORT MASSAcHUsETTS,D u. ". |
April eth, 1868.
Mr.. EDITOR Sir; Having seen through your
columns false statement of the Eleventh Regt.
thought few lines from me would be accent.
able. The Eleventh is bound to stand by the
stars and stripes as long rs there is man
left and as to their being sick of the war, there
is no such thing they are as eager to whip the
South as they were when they came down here
and would willingly march to the front, to fight
by the side of those who have gone before us, if
ordered to do so.
And as to General Mcclellan removal, think
that it was not hardly right, although things
look dark against him.. at present. The health
of the Regt. is better the sick list is growing
smaller every day. We had quite severe snow
storm here last Saturday night, and the snow
was piled up in drifts from to feet high, but
it has come of pleasant now, and the snow has
gone OFF considerably There is to be a regiment
al inspection on Thursday of this week, at Fort
slocum. We are expected to commence firing at
target next Saturday. I think our company
has lost the least by death of any in the Regt.
We have lost only since we came from Hyde
Park which think, tells pretty well that our
company has been cared for. Our officers are
liked by the men, Our End LIT. is on detached
service from the company at present. We ex.
pect the Regt, will be filled up before long then
there will be chance for more to show their
patriotsm--a love for their Country--by enlist.
ing. Spunky Lamoille has never been behind
in filling her quota Of men, and hope
she never will be, as long az their is a man left
who is able to carry gun. Our motto now
should be, Union or Death. Things begin to
look brighter than they have for a long time.

SUDDEN DEATH.-All who have had the
pleasure of stopping at the Mansfield
House, in Stowe, within the last year, will
learn with regret that Adelia M. Town,
who ministered SO acceptably to their COM

last, she attended the dinner table as usu-
al, apparently in her usual health, and
that an hour after, she died. She was a
daughter of Hiram J. Town, of Morris
town, and was twenty years of age. She
will be missed, as well by the frequenters
of that house as by her relatives and
friends in Morristown.

VERMONT CAVALRY.

A MORE FAVORABLE REpoRT.-A letter
from Lieut.. Hall, of the Cavalry Regi-
ment, gives some additional facts of the
late engagement of the Vermont Cavalry,
which redeem the detachment from the
apparent discredit which attached to its
conduct in that unfortunate affair. Lieut.
Hall says:
1.-TWO of our men who were captured
near Broad Run, on Wednesday last, have
just returned, having been paroled at AL
die. We learn from them that all our previ-
Gus information concerning the rebel force
and its disposition was very wide of the
truth. Instead of there being only sixty
seven men under Capt. Mosby, there were
with him three other Captains with their
commands, making in all some two hun
bred men. These additions to Mosby's
force were Kentuckians and Georgians.
The men who bring this report are entire
ly reliable, and have had much better
opportunity to estimate the number of the
rebels than one could have had in the few
moments of actual conflict, especially con-
sidering the fact that the uniforms of the
contending parties were alike. Indeed,
their account is confirmed by the fact that
their paroles were not signed by Mosby,
but by an artillery Captain named Chap
man.
1t would seem that their intention was
to make a demonstration against the
Drainsville force, of whose removal the
Monday before, they were not appraised.
To that end Mosby came upon Herndon,
hoping to surprise and capture the pickets
there again, and draw out scouts after
him from the reserve at Draisville, leaving
his confederates either to fall upon the
rear of the scouting parties and cut them
off or to attack the main force, thus weak
ened. at Drainsvile 1t was at Hernden
that his men were counted, and the infor.
nation sent us upon which our scout Of
one hundred and forty eight men was sent
out-a force which would have been am
ply sufficient to cope with Mosby alone,
but which proved so mournfully INSULT
cient to contend with the force it was
compelled to engage"
A Richmond paper notices the arrival
there of ''ninety-nine Yankees" being a
portion of the Vermont Cavalry captured
on Wednesday of last week, The same
paper says that no officers were among the
prisoners, they having all been killed III

VERMONT CAVALRY AGAIN. Il have learn
ed, from Col. Sawyer, that it has been
pretty well ascertained that the rebel force
in the late fight with our cavalry, had a
major and four captains, and probably
more than two hundred men. If this be
true, our men were greatly outnumbered
by the enemy and if Capt. Bean was
forced to abandon Flint to save his own
men, his case is very much relieved. For
his sake, and that of his friends, hope
the facts will justify him. 1t is tolerably
certain that he lost most ofhis men. Dr.
Hall came in from the regiment yesterday,
and he states the missing men still to be
eighty: so if Flint's thirty five are all
counted lost, Bean must have lost sixty
five out of his hundred. - Walton IN Datly
