The SEVENTH REGIMENT.-A corresPon-
dent of the Newsdealer, under the date OF jan
uary 9th, gives the following information
of the present condition OF the regiment
sWe secured good quarters in Pensacola,
the same day, which was the 18th OF Nov
We occupy the quarters of the 9th Eew iork'
which regiment left soon after our arrival, Tor
New Orleans We find the place very much
as it was recommended to be-qulte heaithy
for those who best stood the storm on the gull,
or were the healthIest on getting here. Many
of the invalids on board that small boat-so
poor place for so: many, and especially IN
storm-have since been laid beneath the sands,
and more are daily following. Every effort is
made that can be made, tenderly TO care lor
the sick. For one surgeon the task OF attend
ing to so many invalids was very great. our-
geon Blanchard has been in good degree re-
lieved-of his wearying, AMI unequal laoors;-
The arrival of Surgeons Foster and Langdon
from the north was an event we had some
time looked for, and was very welcome. Ihese
gentlemen have the respect OF all, although
they have been here but short time. Their
careful and faithful attendance on duty prom
ment to better state of health, aided by bet
ter circumstances. have long thought that
doctors of right stamp had it in their power
to do more good than men of any other pro-
fession. and my recent experience and obser-
vation confirm nv former opinion. May they
be kent in good health, thas we lose not the
benefit of their learning skill and faithful
ness.
Some few changes have been made among
the officers since last wrote, the most impor-
tant of which is tn election of Major Holbrook
as Colonel. 1t may be said, without aattery,
that, though the 9TH has been unfortunate in
most things, it was not SO in securing so good
Colonel. Though very, young, Vermont
may look upon him as satisfactory in the best
sense to the regiment, upon which he confers
honor, and as promising for the future.
DEATHS OF VERMONT SoLpIERs.-The
following Vermont soldiers have recently died
in the Washington hospitals Abram La
Plant, Co. d, llth Vermont J. Dufeuy, Co.
II, llth Vermont.
OBITuARY.-The secesh Argus is about to
pick up It's traps and leave town. 1t has been
in dying condition for some time, as has been
well kno.n in this place, and especially since
it outraged all patriotism and public sentiment
here last summer. We have not read single
copy of the concern for SIX months, but those
who have, say, and no doubt truthfully, that
its course is as dlsloval and traitorous as ever,
and many Union men have dropped Of from
it cf late, as they would from poisonous
snake. The secesh paper at St. Alb ms died
some weeks since; and the democratic paper
at Moatpel er was di,cJn Jndnued some year and
a half or two years ago and it seems to be
understood that there is 10 be resurrection of
all these elements at Montpelier in one BODY
and see if they can make live of it but it
is evident that secesh newspapers in Vermont
are not very paying concerns. BelZosos Falls
