CAMP MILES above FALMOUTH, May 6, '63.
Vermont has not lost very large number of
her gallant soldiers, but too many, fear, for
the result accomplished. But the pen is not
sufficient to portray the bravery and gallant
deeds performed b the noble, the glorious 9th.
We have to mourn the loss of one of the best
officers that ever commanded a company, in the
person of Capt. Ainsworth. May God bless
and keep the little ones that are left orphans

well for q time, and then fell back 10 confusion

lay close upon the ground, behind little crest.
The men were ordered to fire only at the word
of command. We waited until the enemy were
within twenty feet OF our guns then rose, fred
and al once charged with leveled bayonets. If
the rebels came on fast, they went back faster.
Just our regiment drove back the line, took
nearly as many prisoners as we had men in the
regiment, among whom was d Colonel Lieuten-
ant Colonel and MAJOR, and at least ten line Of
hcers. Our regiment was the only one in the
Corps that charged. The ID and 4th held their
ground and fired but did not charge. The 5th
and Sd, who were on our right were withdrawn
to another place. The Goth Now Jersey inglo-

went to the house Of countryman ind lind
ing none Of the male members Of the family

After naming several, the old lady stopped.

"No," replied she, "none except Billy

the old lady.

toned the old lady as to the age Of Billy, and
went awny, after enrolling his name among
those to be drafted Time Of the drafting

The fact that the rufflan Quantrel, who

children, was at the Copperhead Conyen-

seems to be well established; and the
Springfield Journal asserts that he was
accompanied by few hundred Of his tol-
lowers, probably the very fellows who
quenched their thirst for blood by butch
e1ing unarmed, unoaending and sleeping

Whether the Chief Baron WAS paid by
the Confederates for his bung!ing interpre-
taion Of the law, or not, is Of very little
moment Suffice it to say that even the
British Government, which has always
rendered us IN injustice, and done US
grievous wrong when she could hide her
self under a!plausib1e mask-could not
stand this, as being too gross violation Of
ralpable Law. So the Attorney General
has been instructed to take exceptions to
the judgment, and the case will have to be
tried over again. As the British law
stands, at present, the rebels may build, in
English dock yards, as many unarmed
pirates as they hke-clear them out for
another vessel after them with
their armaments, hoist the Confederate
Gag, prey upon cur commerce, and get of
scot free, the old British hypocrite rejoicing
at the smartness Of the trick!
