The 5rH REc1MENT.-Not hs wing room
for the whole, we make the followin extracts
from the letter of a correspondent, no writes
from the &c Camp of the lst Vermont Brigade,
near Belleplaine, Va, Dec 26th," CT 'aoerning
the 5th Regiment.
The Vermont 5th, Under the
conduct of its gallant leader, Col. III ant, has
been in EIGHT great battles, viz: Lee s Mills,
Wlllamsburgh, Savage Station, VIII tie Oak
Swamp. Malvern Hills, South Mo- untan,
Champions Pass, Antietam and Fred ericks-
burg. From all these battles, though IN the
thlckest of the fight, and amidst the show ers OF
g leaden ram and iron hale,'' Col. Grant has
come out unscratched, with the exception I the
last named, where he was struck in the Knee
by a spent rife ball inhicting slight wound.
Col. Grant picked up the bullet anu now ar
ries it in his pocket as memento of the hgilt,
a more desirable place of deposit than in his
body.
At the battle of Savage Station, this Regi-
ment lost POS men killed and wounded.
Among the killed were Lieut. Comstock OF |
brave and gallant officers. Lieut.. Wright, OF |
Co. B, Lieut.. Nc. ID. Smith Of Co. A, and /
Capt. b. r. JENNIE of Co. G, we're severely I
wounded and taken prisoners.
Of the original Captains of this Regiment, |
but two now remain, Capt. B. 4. JENNIE, Co.
u, and Capt. Gleason Co. K. Six of the 9th
ers have been promoted to the Iank of Lieut.. |
Colonies and Majors in the nine months Regi-
ments from this State, a fact which speaks |
well for the Regiment and its faithful Colonel. |
Capt. JENNIE has been reported inthe Vermont
papers as having been dismissed from the SER |
vice for absence W thout leave, and it is due to
this officer, that a true statement Of his case
be brought before the people Of Tie State, as
great injustice has unintentionalIy been done
him. After his discharge from tie Richmond
prison and exchange, he went hne ON fur
Tough to recover from the effects q his wounds /
and the hardships of his imprisonment. His !
recovery being slow, he applied Or an extern E
sion OF his furlough, which was grnted, but in d
consequence of neglect on the pzsyof proper
officers at Washington to send aloace of The t
fact to his Regiment, he was repted as alb
sent without leave, and dismissed On rep =
resentation of the facts in his Casio the War g
Department, by Capt. JENNIE, he aslful.y re-
instated to his former rank, witiall|the hon
ors, receiving his pay for the whoeiu1e. Capt.
JENNIE is now with his Regmeut4nd though :
still suffering from the hardship he b IS en- =
dured, and looking full ten year oleer than =
when he entered the service, be y(t ready
and willing to do his duty whertsr The may g.
be called. -
Capt. Gleason has been sick fosone time, SCI
ann though now with his comp4nyis not able Oh OF
