From the Tenth Regiment.
CAMP HEINTzLEMAN,
Near Poolsville, Md, Nav IA

Fearing that you and your readers may
forget in the excitement of the present
day that there is such an organization as
the 10th Vermont, l will write a few
words to remind you that we still exist,
and though we do not have the privilege
of taking a very active part in tho proc
ent national struggle, we try to think our
services are just as necessary here as
though we daily engaged the enemy
We are striving to do our duty and dis
cipline ourselves in a manner to fit our
selves to become worthy and honorable
members of the family of Vermont SOL
diers, the principal part OF whom are
now so zealously at work reducing the
traitors, and with good success if we may
believe current reports. The late Union
victories have caused much enthusiasm
in our camp, though not in a style to be
followed by dependency if reports do
not prove true. l think our army and
in fact the whole nation have learned to
look calmly upon misfortune. The re-
port that Richmond is occupied by our
troops is not generally credited here, tho
great confidence is expressed in Hooker's
ability to conquer that stronghold of trea-
son.
Six companies of our regiment have
been at this place some four weeks the |
other four, c, ID, f and /, are yet on the
Potomac picketing, Companies K, G,

"NEwPoRT News" -This is the
name Of the new paper just commenced
its career at Lake Bridge, G. G. Spald-
ing, editor. The first number looks well
and what is better, acts well. 1t is a
lively sheet, and we wish it all SORTS of
good luck. In regard to the war it de-
fines itself thus
"Our war creed is somewhat patriotic
and our patriotism is rather high proof
and at times, perhaps, will bear reducing.
II is not the creature Of impulse, it is
not carried away by the torrent of events,
neither is it governed by the fortunes of
war or the fluctuations of finance. 1t
never covers, and last but not least it
teaches US noW as it ever has done, that
it would be much better for America and
for mankind, that our cities should be
known only by their ruins, and our homes
only by their ashes, than that this gov
eminent should be destroyed, The war
then is, so to speak, our religion--it must
go on,-powder alone can save us
parchment cannot do it,"
Not much copperhead" about that.

New BUSINESS FOR VERMoNT.-We
see it stated that Mr.. L. A. EdgeH. of
Burlington is now engaged in the manu-
tacture Of tar and turpentine from pitch
pine stumps, an enterprise which was
started last fall by Messrs. Frederick
Smith and S. p. Cole, and which is now
in his hands. The business is yet in its
infancy, but Mr.. Edgell expects shortly
to be able to turn out over three hun
bred gallons of tar and one hundred oal.
Ions OF turpentine per week. The dis
tillation also produces pyrolignous acid
in considerable Quantities, a substance
used in print mills for setting colors. The
tar produced is a very superior article
as it is made in retorts, and is clearer
than the Newbern tar. North Carolina
will have TO "look to her laurels."

and let you know that we were all safe.-
The second day of May we crossed the
Rappahannock about sunset and lay in
line of battle in front of the rebels. We
were called up at one o'clock in the NOR
ming, and about daylight marched around
near the city Of Fredericksburg and the
ball opened the cannonading and mus.
kerry firing was kept up all the forenoon
without anything decisive on either side.
But this was not long to remain so &C.
cordingly it was agreed to by the gener-
ais TO charge on their Notifications and
drive them out. and capture all that we
could. Our line was about two niles
long, and a more magnificent looking
sight mortals never looked upon-to see
them move on undauuted by the terrific
fire from the rebel guns, the old flag still
bore on, We had a level plain to cross
at least one mile wide and then a steep
hill to climb, and then we were upon
their stronghold that has so long been a
disputed point between the north and
south. We did not have a man killed in |
our regiment, although we bad seven
wounded. We took fifteen pieces Of ar
tillery and quite number of prisoners.
You had better believe that our regiment
felt well when we gained the heights of
Fredericksburg all the time we were
marching the rebels were pouring the shot
and shell upon US with all their guns,

government officers and taken in charge as
privateer. about twenty sooessionists were
captured on board well armed, as also, six
Dahlgreen guns with carriages suitable for
use on ships. Correspondence on the per-

the party recently negotiating for the steamer
Victoria for priyateer. The prisoners are
confined at Fort Alacadras Many more

above this point--the levee being broken in
in several places.
The Yazoo Pass project is complete sue

Bluff, which is poorly fortified against an at
tack from above. Our fleet captured twenty
six transports.
The recent operations at Lake Providence
and elsewhere resulted in inundating more
than one hundred miles of Louisiana terrific
ry, destroying millions of dollars worth of
property The guerillas were completely
drowned out.
There is no doubt that the rebels will soon
eyacuate Vicksburg, if they have not already
done so.
Our forces have succeeded in destroying an
important bridge, cutting off another of their
communications, and they will probably retire
to Jackson, where they are strongly fortified.

dispatches for Washington, which have been
forwarded. She is bound to New York.
The report brought by the last steamer
from Europe, OF the intention Of the Emperor
to withdraw his army from Mexico, is dis
credited in diplomatic circles. On the other
hand, it is thought that the French army in
Mexico will be largely augmented within the
next ninety days. Such is also said to be the
advices received by our Government.
The Charleston and Mobile papers of the
18th have been received. There were l3
blockaders off the former port on the Sd. The

while the bockaders were in front Of Mobile.
She was chased nineteen hours, but finally
ran out Of view. and on her way destroyed a

Texas adviees state that one of the five
Texans captured by the rebels from the
steamer Cambria had been banded over by
the rebel military authorities to the mob who
hung him. Another was shot.
The Navy Department have been informed
of the capture off New Inlet, ST. Georges
Sound, of schooner Hortense, from Havana
bound TO Mobile, and Of schooner Ann, which
endeavored to break the blockade inside the
bar off the mouth of the Suwanee river.
