STOUGHTON'S BIOGRAPHY FAULTY.-One
OF the New York papers attempts biogra-
ply OF Mr. Stoughton,-lately nominated as
brigadier, bat run off BY the rebels before he
was conirmed,- and in the course OF his
military achievements the battles before Rich
mond on the 9th, 2sth and Goth DAYS of Ju-
" are referred to. An exchange says that
it was on July 10Th when Stoughton made
his famous, or Infamous, speech at Bellows
Falls, denouncing Congress and the admins
tration. and making an ass of himself gener-
ally. We don't believe he will get very
much credit in the battle of July 90, 1862.

A Voice from the Vermont 9th.

Mr.. EDITOR Il forward herewith, for
publication, the following correspondence
and resolutions from the sixth regiment Of
Vermont volunteers.
I feel assured that these resolutions ex-
press the sentiments, not only Of the sixth,
but of all our regiments in the army of the
Potomac and elsewhere.
In recent visit to their Head quarters,
| had the opportunity of conversing freely
with the officers, and many of the privates,
in each of the regiments composing the first
Vermont Brigade, and the spontaneous ex-
preston in every instance was that of loyal
ty to the governmental detestation to-
wards the traitors of the North, and patri-
otto resolution to peril their lives for their
country's flag and for suppressing the rebel
lion. ERAsTUs FAIRBANKS.

THE COPPERHEAD TREASON IN INDIANA.

THE CoPPERHEAD TREASON IN INDIANA.-
The Indianapolis Qnd.) Journal boldly charges
upon the Copperhead members of the Legs
iature a virtual mediation to Kentucky guer
rillas to invade the State. a llot to the
following effect was said to be Matched First.
the cavalry were to BE withdrawn then the
Legion was to be disarmed, and the arms
carried off and placed under control of the
Attorney General and Company; and thus
all the military force would he removed by
which the incursions of the Kentucky rebels
could be repealed, and the people would be
left helpless before their enemies. 1t is,
moreover, charged that there was an undel
standing between the invaders and the butter
nlts by which the latter were to be exemp,
from pillage-the robbery, murder, &c, to
be exclusively inflicted upon 10, al citizens.
The Journal gives "facts ard figures to
substantiate its charges-and some of them
ale ugly enough, too.
