WOODSTOCK, July "a, 1905.
EDITOR FREEMAN The draft is progressing
slowly in this district, under the management of
Capt. Gilman Henry, Provost Marshal, and Dr..
6. P. Frost, Surgeon. The names for Windham
County were drawn on Monday the 18th inst.
Among those drafted, I notice Daniel Kellogg,
Js., postmaster of Brattleboro, Rev. E. Z.
Bass of Bellows Falls, and Rev. I. S. Morse, of
Wardsboro.
The draft for Windsor County took place on
Wednesday the 23d. The town hall was filed
with interested ones, but all were quiet and
good natured.
Rev. Horace w. Worthen, Presiding Elder
Of Springfield district, Rev. Reuben W. Har-
low, of West Windsor, Rev. VIM. III. Wight Of
Barnard, Rev. Alonzo T. Deming of Bridge
water, and Rev. j. W. Chickering, of Spring
field, were drawn. | notice, also, the names of
DR.. McCollom, of Woodstock, DR.. Osburn, of
Felchyille, DR.. Belknap of Rochester, Norman
Paul, ESQ.,, of Pomtret, and Luther 0. Greene,
oostmastor of Woodstock, and editor of Wood
stock Standard.
A good story is told Of Hon. Prosper Merrill
a Windsor County Senator. In consideration
of the payment of $3.50, she insured DR.. j. P.
Osburn against the draft. He was present on
Wednesday, and when all but five or six had
beenIdrawn, was rubbing his hands and feeling
good generally about the escape of the DR.. but
the Dr., was drawn within two Of the last.
ALIQUIs.
P.S. Orange County will not be drawn fol-
q week or ten days, if we may judge by tht
time which elapsed between the drawing O.
Windham and Windsor Counties. The present
prospect is that not a hundred men will be OBJ
tanned from Windham County. A.

New ORLEANS, July Is.
To-day a great excitement and iolliication was
manifested at the sight of the first class river
steamer " Imperial, " from St. Louis, being the
first transport that had passed down the river
without a convoy, since the blockade. She bore
a heavy cargo OF grain and western beef, As she
neared the wharf, the excitement was intense.
and the crowd almost equalled that when the
Federal feet appeared before the city after run
ming the gauntlet Of forts at St. Phillip and Jack
son. As she passed Vicksburg, Baton Rouge, and
other fortified places, she received %salutes, as al
so from the principal g%unboats in the river
Among the latter was the Monongahela, com
handed by Lieut.. George Dewey, Of Montpelier.
-Four other transports followed her, heavily load

ference is going on the men are on top of the
breastworks, looking over the Notifications and
holding " private consultations" with the men
whom they have been shooting at for about forty
days.
Sth of July IN Port Hudson.
To-day the surrender Of Port Hudson is an
%nounced, and tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock the
ceremonies OF a formal surrender take place inside
the fort. Our guards are placed upon their para
pet and at all entrances to their works, and, as
you may we'll imagine, this is another day of re-
joicing and celebration. The terms of surrender
are:
LIST, Everything to be surrendered.
I'd, Officers not to be paroled.
Sd, Private propertyto be respected.
Gen. Banks designated Gen. Weitzel to receive
the surrender and take Gen. Gardeners sword, as
being the officer most closely identified with the
whole campaign and siege. Gen. Weitzel de-
clined the honor, deeming it more fitting that
Gen. Banks Chief of Staff should receive it.
9th of July in Port Hudson.
At 8 o'clock this morning the Federal forces
marched into Port Hudson and formed in line.
Gen. Gardner, with bis staff, were formed in
front of their line of troops. 1t was a long line,
and is said to number over 5000 men. Opposite
Gen. Gardner Gen. Andrews, Chief of staff, and
a large number of the different Generals Staff
officers took position, when Gen. Gardner said :
"SIR Il formally surrender to you the garri-
son and forces of P ort Hudson"
Turning to his troops he. gave the command,
"Ground Arms" He then presented his sword.
The Stars and Stripes were hoisted on the flag
staff, the batteries fired %salutes, the bands played
the National Airs, and Gen. Weitzel, in command
Of the LIST Division, marched to the Landing and
embarked for Donaldsonville.
July l2, at DonaldsonviIIe.
Arriving at this post it was ascertained that the
enemy, in considerable force, occupied the La
fourche, and at a point seven miles below, on the
river, had batteries and sharpshooters stationed,
so that for ten days we had no communication
with New Orleans, except by " iron-clads." But
when it was known that Weitzel was on the La
fourche they at once withdrew and concentrated
all their forces about ten miles down the BAYOU.
So soon as our transportation arrives We shall
move to Thibedeaux.
There has been great excitement. and ameno
the timid ones great fear, that New Orleans would
be captured, unless the siege of Port Hudson was
raised and the troops sent to protect the city. AT
present, however, they are treasured in regard to
their safety, and their pulse beats regular again.

I'm of July Before Port Hudson.

To-day Gen. Gardner has asked for a cessation
of hostilities, and that a Commissioner be appoint
ed to confer with his officers and arrange terms of
surrender. 1t has been done, and while the con-
ference is going on the men are on top of the
breastworks, looking over the Notifications and

9th OF July at Port Hudson.

The news of the surrender of Vicksburg to our
gallant army of the West is received to-day, and
fills all hearts with glee. The event is being Gel
ebrated 10 a becoming and enthusiastic manper.
Music, songs and salutes make the air resound
while cheers and verbal messages are sent to greet
our misguided brethren, of secesh procliyities,
across the narrow %ravines which divide the Yam
KEGS from Port Hudson. The men are almost
insane in their anxiety to storm the works of the
rebels, and their demonstrations will doubtless
have a good effect upon the final result of this
siege. A copy of Gen. Grants official dispatch
to Gen. Banks has been thrown inside the rebel
works by Gen. Grover.

The Cooking Stove Exhibition.

If the levees Of Tom Thumb OH Tuesday
attracted more miscellaneous audience,
they certainly did not attract one more
intelligent and interested, than that which
assembled at the Hardware Store of Mr..
Marley to witness the exhibition which
Mr.. HosFokD, the agent, gave Of the quail
ties of the celebrated Stewart Cooking
Stove. Mr. II. not only did all he prom
Used in his bills, but more He roasted
thoroughly and beautifully, upon the spit,
(by means of the Front Roaster' a ten
pound roast of beef, and also baked forty
loaves Of bread, all the fuel he used in the
operation being two sticks of hickory
wood, say % inches in diameter and Is
inches long The baking was done on the
top of the stove and in the inside at the
same time, and was perfect in both cases
He also broiled stake over densely
smoking FIRE Of our soft Illinois coal, with
out, of course, permitting to be in the
least tainted by the smoke, showing by
the operation, one valuable popularity Of
the stove, which was that it consumed the
smoke in the form of gass as rapidly as
generated.
The exhibition" occupied about two
hours, during. which probably hundred
ladies and gentlemen crowded around as
interested auditors. 1t closed with sub
stantial feast on the bread Mr.. II. had
baked and the beef he had roasted and
broiled, to which were added Of course
suitable condiments and accomplishments
The exhibition was unquestionablv a
brilliant success, its object being no less
than TO show that the Stewart is the
most perfect Cooking Stove in the world !"
1t will do all that can be accomplish ed on
an elaborate range, and at an expense
OF fuel SO incomparably smaller as to
be really astonishing None, we are
sure, witnessed the exhibition but were
