The news from Grants army confines
to be cheering in the highest degree. Gen,
Hurlburt telegraphed from Memphis on
Tuesday. a full confirmation of the can,

capitol building probably by the rebels,
themselves. Further particulars of the.
capture, however, are wanting, as we'll AZ.

advantages we have gained in the attack
on V~icksburg, and there is q report that
they have evacuated, and were tryino ia

But the dispatches from Grant himself

that he is fully master of the situation.

U. S. SANITARY COMMISSION.
FROM THE SCENE OF BATTLE.

Brattleboro', May 10, 1863.
The dispatches from the headquarters
of the Sanitary Commission, calls on us
for supplies of dried fruit, "till asked to
stop them" Will not Vermont remem-
Der this especial want of the temporary
hospitals, near the battle field? The
more costly edibles are furnished from the
cities.
Another dispatch says, Our whole
stock of supplies will melt aw ay in a sim
gle day."
Let it be remembered that the Nation
al Sanitary Commission is the only agen-
cy authorized by Government /; the only
agency that can reach our men in the
most critical moment, that of actual bat
tie, when wounded men die for want of
stlmulants, food and care. Is there o
woman who is not ready to minister to
the necessities of this fearful hour,-who
would not rejoice 10 cast the feather s
weight that may turn the balance for life
or death =?
All supplies now forwarded will, at
once, reach the scene of suffering Eve
ry individual will understand that our
sufferers in Virginia never can have too
much done for them. Compute the wants
of one sick or wounded man, and multiply
the amount by many hundreds, and then
let the imagination add the aggregate Of
woes yet undeveloped between the Kappa
hammock and Richmond, and we shall re-
alize the glorious work in which we of
Vermont may have a part.

In January, the ladies organized a SOL

Egs The weather for the last few days
has been very favorable to the starting of
grass, but very unfavorable for putting in
spring crops. The fields and pastures are
now covered with a mantle of green, and
the trees arc fast approaching the condi-
ton when a day or two of favorable
weather will make a great change in the
appearance of the forest. Plums are
nearly in blossom, and a few days now
will bring them out in full bloom.

FROM THE 18TH,
CAMP CARUsEA. Va, May IL.

CAMP CARUsEA. Va, May IL.
Mr.. EDITOR: The regiment has been
the healthiest in April that they have
been since they were out; but payday
was on the 29th of April,-four months
pay up to the first of March, and you
know how it is with some folks when
they have ii little money. 1t has been a
busy time, since, for old watches, and a
great many pies and hoc-cakes have been
sold to the soldiers. At last the surgeon
gave orders that no more stuff should be
brought into camp to sell to the soldiers,
for the number in hospital had increased
from 2 up to 20, in a few days; and it
was coming warm weather, and the soldier
must not cat a lot Of stuff, out of camp
or in it-that their rations was the health
lest living, and we must avoid the raging
fever that was in camp by our living.
In this month our Lieutenant Colonel
E. NJ. Brown has his discharge and on
Sunday, May Sd, at our review. he took
his leave of us, having been with us in
all our trials since we left Vermont; he
having a call to fill an office in the Green
Mountain State. Major Clark got his
discharge while we were at the Shoals.
So there were now two vacancies in the
staff. On the 9th, the Captain of Co. D
was promoted to Lieut.. Colonel, and Capt.
Boynton, of Co. E, is promoted to Major.
On the 9Th, Col. Randall called Co. E,
to go on a scout, and they took all the
arms or property that belonged to the U.
S. or to rebels. This was amusing, for
when we would search houses where they
were union, they were.willing; but where
they were rebels, the women would be
cross, s%nappish things, and do all in their
power to resist the search. A seccsh wo-
man is worse than a secesh man, or SOL
dier. In our tour we came to a chapel
about as large as a large district school
house in Vermont, built after the style of
1910 in Vermont. and by its side were
many graves, but only a few tomb stones
to tell the date Of the decease or age, and
in our tour we visited the Topeka church.
This is a large building of brick, which
is built in Virginia style, but now there
is nothing of the inside to show the form
Of its structure, there being nothing but
the walls and roof to show the ravage Of
war. We passed the village of Accotink,
on a creek of the same name. In this
village are a grist a saw-mill, both, as is
usual in Virginia, offering excellent oppor-

and so pass many a pleasant evening.
The streets Of Co. e are smooth, and at
the tent corners are nice cedar trees, and
at the officers tents there are two larger
