Assassination of Fletcher Freem q u

Oar community was thrown into high
state of excitement last Thursday by a re-
port which reached town in The forenoon
that Fletcher Freeman, Esq. the enrolling
officer in Cass and Jefferson townships, had
been shot dead. The suspense of doubt as
to Its truth was soon ended by the arrival
der tor coffin. The sad intelligence cast
a gloom over the countenances of our citi.
zens. and caused heavy weight Of sorrow
to rest on the minds of all.
. The particulars as we have them are as
follows: The people of the road district in
which Mr. f. lived were that day called
out by the supervisor to work on the road.
Mr. Freeman started for the rendezvous of
the road hands. when meeting - Shaw
and Ely Rusher. who were without tools,
the two latter went back to his house for
hoes Fletcher pursuing his way alone. A
few minutes after leaving him they heard
the report of a gun, but paid no attention
hounds after deer but one of them. who
had been in the army, thought he recegni-
zed the cries as those Of man who was
shot. They thereupon returned and found
Mr.. +. dead 10 a small ravine. Shaw and
Rusher then proceeded to where the hands
had assembled aud informed them Of the
fact. This was about z O'Clock in the morn
ing. He was shot in the left side. just be-
low the ribs. the ball passing through and
coming out near the spine. An examina-
ton of the surroundings revealed the fact
that the assassin was secreted in the bushes
at the road side not more than 90 or 35 feet
from his victim. Sullivan Democrat.

On Saturday afternoon the funeral Of the
late DR.. T. Bullard took place. After brief
ceremonies at the residence OF the deceased
the funeral train moved TO the Cemetery,
led by the hearse. and followed by some
sixty carriages. Among the relatives call
ed hIther by the demise OF this much below
ed man, were Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher.
who is a sister of DR.. Billiard, and Olive r
Bullard, his youngest brother, who reached
the city on Saturday morning from Con-
necticut. .-fi.+s fsE5
A meeting of the physicians was held on
Friday evening, at the Office of DR.. Kitchen.
for the purpose of paying the last tribute Of
respect and esteem to the memory of DIR.
Bullard, and to make arrangements for at
tending his funeral.
Out of regard to the well known wishes
of the eceased. no formal resolutions were
pass d, but the members OF the profession
spoke freely together of the many virtues of
sile departed of his early history; how. by
his ndomiiable energy and capacity he had
achieved the largest practice, and for many
years had held his position At the head of
the profession 10 this city, and how favor
ably he was regarded throughout the State.
His humanity was spoken of as exam
pie. He never failed to extend to the poor
who called upon him all the resources OF his
art, and his warmesi sympathy.
During the last two years he had, to
grea: extent, relinquished the emoluments Of
his profession and devoted his talents to the
wants Of the soldiers in the field. and in
hospitals. at the sacrifice Of his health. and
finally, of his life.
Arrangements were made for the publ
cation of an obituary Of DR.. Bullard in the
Medical iournals.-LndianaPols Journal.

1t is a shameful reflection on humanity that

getting Port Hudson as speedily as possible,
as delay would enable the Confederates to
concentrate in his rear and cut off his rail-

Mn. EDITOR.
Dear Sir am happy to inform the
readers of your paper, that the health Of the
9th Vermont is improving rapidly. Nearly
every day for the last three weeks over one
hundred men have been excused from duty,
but since the slight change of weather that
we have experienced, only about fifty have
been on the sick list. But very few officers
have been sick a few are at home on a short
urlough-Leut. Peck, co. C, Lieut. Jewett,
co. f, Quartermaster Sawyer DR.. Vincent
has been quite sick, but is now rapidly i'm
proving will be fit for duty in few days.
We have been lately reinforced by cavalry
from Fortress Monroe, of nearly one thou
sand. Report is that three divisions Of Lees
army are between us and Richmond, but
nothing has been heard from them for the
last day or two Our men are at present
pracucng on the guns of the Fort, and viii
soon be well drilled, as they take great plea
sure in the change.
The day is cold and rainy, and the men are
busily engaged in cutting fre-wood. Pre-
parations will soon have to be made for Win
ter quarters.
There is not much news from this depart
ment just now. You will excuse this short
note this time, Hoping to furnish you with
more news from the 9th Vermont in the iu-
ture, as see that your columns show only
few words occasionally from this regiment
Yours most respectfully,

At the time the company known as the
Capital Guards (Co f, ID Reg't VI Vols)
was organized. the Hon Daniel Baldwin Of
Montpelier, met Col Randall, then captain OF
said company, on the street, and quietly and
unostentatiously handed him a package, re-
marking that he would find directions inside,
and passed on. On opening the package it
proved TO contain oighty-seven gold dollars( the
number Of men in the company being eighty
seven,) with directions to distribute it to the
company as a gift from the liberal donor.
Recently the remaining members Of the COM
pany, twenty-seven in all, wishing to ac-
knowledge their gratitude In suitable way,
sent to Mrs. Baldwin neat and beautiful
silver fruit basket with the following inscrip-
ton engraved on the inside "Presented to
Nrs Daniel Baid,oia by hs members Of the
Capital Guards" on the occasion Of which
the following correspondence ensued. 1t will
be seen that the ranks of this heroic band of
Green Mountain boys have been sadly thinued
by many a hard fought battle and the malaria
Of Southern swamps. No regiment in the
field has earned higher encomums than the
ID regiment, and no company in the regiment
has sustained better reputation than this
company and this incident shows that in

Your esteemed favor of the 2Oth of June.
accompanied with a beautiful silver fruit bas-
ket, is receiykd The basket you design as a
gift TO Mrs. baldwin, in acknowledgement Of a
service whikh you are pleased to regard as
"substan.ial aud generous" You say that
you are moved TO this act by the desire 10 ex-
press your gratitude TO as, and To fulfil the
long-cherished wish Of your hearts
On our part we have only to Say that this
expression of regard is duly appreciated, and
we will not Disguise that this token and trib-
ute from our gallant soldiers iu the field, af-
tords qualification TO us which will be cher
ished during the short residue Of our lives.
You represent companions that have heroic
ally died, whether they died in battle, or by
wasting disease in the hospital. Indeed when
we think Of your suferings, and the suffer
lngs of those who we believe have passed to
their rest, of your thinned ranks, and Of tue
anguish of those who sent you forth with
benedictons and tears, we almost wonder that
we could ever have urged you to 20. One
reflection, however, consoles us, viz: that
You are mantully striving in the sacred cause
of our country, and that no sacrifice of treas
ure and life is too great, so that T. c national
honor be indicated, and a living peace Sc
cured. Besides, there seems no other way
Of putting down ;his wicked and unjustif-
able rebellion, except by force, and no 9TH
err explation for the nation except by blood
II will cheer you to be assured that the peo-
pie Of our beloved State are loyal to the
Constitution Of the United States, and do
not believe it a "league with hell" or that
1t allows States to fecede from the onion,
and will sustain the laws so long as they are
laws of the eountry-until they are repealed
by Congress, or decided unconstitutional by
the constituted courts Of the land. Our peo-
pie are law-abidiug, and be assured they are
willing to give you the help of genuine
sympathy in the self-sacrifcing work in which
you are engaged, and in all the trials Of camp
and field. You are set for the best Govern
ment that God ever gave TO man, and in His
Infinite mercy may he grant a speedy end to
this wicked rebellion, and the return of our
brave sons and brothers to their homes, and
to the pursuits Of peaceful life, and may the
now divided country be clasped together in
new brotftrhood sud the more perfect Union
prove as lasting as our rock-riboed Green
Mountains
Please accept individually, our best wishes
for your health, happiness, and long life, that
in venerable age you may tell the story of
battles to your children, that they may learn
to love their country for which you suffered
and may children's children to the latest gem
Grafton repeat the history we are now living.
