From the Sixteenth Vermont Regiment
DEAR MESSENGER This regiment is
again in Vermont, weary and worn by toll
and danger. Its battle. tried veterans have
reached once more their homes, glad to rest
from the tiresome march and the daily toll Of
the soldiers life. The regiment started from
Berlin, on the Potomac on Saturday the
18th inst. After the battle Of Gettysburg
up to this time, they were on hard and diff.
cult marches in pursuit of Lees army. This
was heavy tax on their already wasted
physical energies and more or less fell out,
unable to endure the fatigues of the march
At Berlin they had been ordered to cross the
river into Virginia, but the General being in
formed in regard to the expiration Of their
term of service, ordered them back.
Our division hospital at Gettysburg, was
broken up on the 18th. The patients who
were able had been previously sent to the
village Of Gettysburg, and from there they
were sent on to Baltimore and from thence
disbursed as circumstances might dictate
Those who were not able thus to be sent
away, were retained at Gettysburg and ample
provisions made for them there, AT the time
we left this place, eighteen thousand wounded
had been sent away, and it was thought that
at least as many more we're awaiting trans
portation. 1t will be observed that this in
cluded part Of the rebel wounded. A large
number Of wounded came on the same train
with US to Baltimore. 1t was gratifying to
witness the careful attention given to supply
their wants at the various stations where we
stopped. Refreshments were gratuitousIy
provided to an ample extent When we ar.
rived in Baltimore, although at Il o'clock at
night, we were met at the depot by ladies and
gentlemen with hot tea and coffee, and with
other substantial food enough to furnish us
all. The Sanitary and Christian Commissions
appear to be present at every needed point
with abundant resources to attend to the
wants of the needy and suffering. We Judged
from appearances that change for the better
had come over the people in Baltimore since
the breaking out of this war.
1t was by accident that those who had
been connected with the hospitals at Gettys-
burg, met the regiments at Baltimore. We
found, however, three Of our returning regi-
ments here, arranging for home transports.

The District Convention at Rutland.


The Convention at Rutland, Wednesday, to
nominate candidate for Congress for this Dis
trct was one of the largest political bodies ever
assembled in this State indeed, we doubt if il
times of great political excitement it is often that
larger convention is got together. The atten-
dance from the Counties of Addison, Rutland,
and Bennington, was, as might have been expect
ed, much larger in proportion than that from
Washington, though every town but two from
this County was represented, and nearly hun
dred we're present, in ALL from our wing of the
District. AS we stated a week ago, the principal
persons talked of as candidates before the Con-
venton assembled, were Hon. F. E. Woodbridge,
and Hon. John w. Stewart of Addison County,
and A. B. Gardner, Esq of Bennington and it
soon became evident that the first of these gen.
temen would carry large majority of his own
County, while Mr., Gardner would be supported
by the entire delegation from Bennington County.
Rutland County was quiet, waiting for develop
ments, while Washington County was divided be-
tween the friends of Mr.. Woodbridge and of Mr..
Gardner, with quite a sprinkling of gentlemen
who were unpledged and ready to 60 for the best
man. 1t was rumored in the morning, before the
Convention assembled, that Rutland County
would with very general unanimity, when the
proper moment arrived, present the name Of
Judge Kellogg, of Benson.
At y o'clock the multitude crowded into the
Town Hall, filling all the available space. A. B.
Gardner, Esq of the District Committee, called
the Convention to order, and on his nomination
Col. C. II. Joyce of Rutland was chosen Presi-
dent. COL Joyce, on taking the chair, made a
spirited speech, which elected frequent applause.
The organization Of the Convention being COM
pleted by the appointment of Vice President and
Secretaries, business commenced After some
preliminary skiru,ishing, a resolution was adopted
providing that each County should elect Nomi-
mating Committee equal to twelve times its mum.
Der Of State Senators, one to be chosen by each
town represented, and the remainderto be selected
by the County in mass convention. This gave Ad-
olson County twenty-f of the nominating com
mittee, Rutland thirty-six, Bennington twenty
four, and Washington thirty-six The Counties
then went by themselves" and chose their COM
mitee.
This business was not completed till after two

REBEL PRIsoNERs.--The following statement
OF the rebel prisoners now in our hands is
believed to be nearly, if not quite correct On
hand at Memphis, 1000; at Fort Delaware,
5000; taken by Meade at Getty in the
cavary fights since, and at Wiliamsport,
$4,000; by Grant, 81 600; by Banks, u O00;
by Rosecrans, 1000; by Sherman, 1000;
by PreDtiss, 1000; making in all total of
84,O00-77 600 Of whom were taken on and
since the Sd Of July. In all we now have
over five thousand rebel officers in our hands,
from Generals down. The opening is an excel
lent one for Jeff. Davis to try his retaliation
for the hanging Of his spies.

! ton. Here, many who had been detained
from the regiment received their mail and
with it their first ntellig ence from home since
the breaking up Of our camp in old Virginia.
As we passed on through Maryland and
Pennsylvania, we were greeted with unex.
pected demonstrations from the people, who
thronged the roadside in every village we
passed, waving flags and handkerchiefs, in
marked contrast with their appearance when
we were passing through there to the seat of
war. Phladel phia, we found had not grown
weary in we'll doing but waiting at midnight
to greet US with warm repast Even at
New York, we had provided for us hot coffee
and palatable food, much more III keeping
with the soldiers appetite than the fare Of
nine months age. At this place, as we were
waiting for transportation, different classes
paid us a visit some feared that we had
come to make an unwelcomc stop with them,
and to aid law and order in its triumph over
mobocratic violence and misrule, while some
were anxious to have US stay for this very
purpose. But the soldiers were all anxious to
reach their homes again, from which they had
already been detained longer than many an
tclpated when they left them. We were,
however, detained here for want of transpor.
taton, so that we did not arrive in Bratte-
boro until Wednesday morning We regard
it as very fortunate that this regiment, being
the last of the nine months men to be muster
ed out of service, are allowed short fur.
Tough by which they are able to repair imme-
diately to their homes We are to return on
Wednesday Of the present week, and expect
soon to be mustered out of service, and to
know again the freedom Of civil life, where
red tape and the drill ald the burdens of
the soldiers mechanical life, shall be am ong
the things that were.
We learn that our convalescent sick and
wounded are daily arriving at Brattleboro
God be thanked that so many are permitted
to return. We know it is glorious to die for
our countryyet we weep for the dead who have
nobly fallen during our brief term of service.
They have fought their last battle, and sleep
their last sleep, but their names are worthy of
a record among those who shall never be for
gotten by free and grateful country. Those
who return, having nobly done their duty,
have made praise worthy sacrifices in this
glorious cause, but those who have sacrificed
life have done even more than the living and
We trust that the blood of these patriots may
give new life to the Republic w.
