Z" take due notice and govern themselves
accordingly"
PAINFUL REroRT.-We have a sad re-
port that corporal James Monroe Chapman
of this place was killed in the late battle on
Morris Island, near Charleston, He was
one Of the Bellows Falls boys who early
responded to the cal! Of the government,
and went oat in the Sd New Hampshire
regiment He well understood the contro-
yersy, and enlisted from sense of patriotic
duty. As a soldier, he has never flnched
on the field of battle, and has ever been
found faithful at his post. Heis brother
of the Messrs. Chapman, water-wheel man
ufcturers Of this village. We had hoped
he might have been spared to return to US
with the rest of the Bellows Falls boys in
that regiment, and yet hope that his report
ed death will prove a mistake. BY tue last
arrival from Port Royal, some of the pa
papers have him and one other private in
his company reported killed, while another
has 1t that he is wounded and in the hos
! pital at Hilton Head, and it is with much
anxiety his friends here await fasther infor-
nation. fa3as ee
] THE SAxToN's RIVER LIGHT INFAN-
TRY.-The Saxton's River Light infantry
returned to their homes from faithful ser
vice of nine months in the 18th regiment
on Thursday of last week, and received a
very handsome reception given by the peo-
pie of Saxton's River. They were formal
iy received by a company of citizens COM
aaanded by Capt. Alexander Atcherson, and
also by Abenaqui Engine Ccmpauy of this
village The supper was followed by ex-
ceilent speeches, by several gentlemen,
among whom were L. +. Ward, Esq, of
Westminster, Rev. Mr.. Grou: Of Saxton's
River, and f. B. Turner, the Texsn refu-
gee. We hear the speech of Mr.. Turner
spoken of in exceedingly high terms, and,
having heard so much of him, we hope he
may have an opportunity to speak 10 all
the towns in this vicinity. He is stopping
We believe. in Putney, where we presume
he may be addressed.
NoMINATIoNs.-Afe few persons who sym
paihize with the rebels, and calling them
selves democrats" assembled at White
River Junction last week and nominated
Galen Persons of Woodstock, Samuel II.
Stocker of Windsor, and Jurius Josselyn of
rryuc~,n, Nos SENATORS. oeorgo WASH
burn of Springfield presided at this concern,
and they adopted the Vallandigham plat
form.
At the same time and place, by the
same" they had district convention, and
nominated c. N. Davenpor; of Wilmington
, for Congress. A. Nj. Dickey of Bradford,
and George Washburn of Springfield were
elected delegates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in 1861" The particu-
lar breed of the little assemblagc will be
readily understood in this place when they
E are informed that Ezra f. Kimbaii was
elected one of the (" district commiitee"!
