TIE Entc Captain Webster
Why ae WAS Executed by the
Rebels.

As has already been stated In our dispatches,
Captain Alphonso Webster, Of the Sd noyall
Virginia Cavalry, WAS executed at Richmond
or the 10th inst, for violating his parole. he
having taken up arms against the Confcder-
&C! after his canture and before his exchange.
Tic Wheeling IntcNigeacer says Webster OBJ
tanned . commission Of Cavalry from Governor
Pierpont in November last, on Il forged letter
Of recommendation. In the meantime he was
captured. By the rebels, was parolcd, and had
returned to bis company; but the faet Of the
Capt. Mp phonso 6. webster passed within tho
rebel lines to escape u trial By . Federal court
martial. It Is supposed that, under these cir
cumstances, he was again arrested by the
rebels, and tried and convicted for violating
lis parole. Not much is known Of Webster
beyond what Is above stated. He was thrown
up.to the surface by this rebellion from somc-
where In Texas or the West, and was regarded
as . very ignorant hut daring and resolute fell
low. He dealt with the rebels without nsrcy
and without fear, and is reported to have kill
ed rebel officer, not long before his second
arrest, By cutting his throat from car to ear.

bellion alive till now. That support il
now failing them; their currency is al
most worthless; our blockaders are an
noying them; their armies have fol
months been inactive and brooding ovei
the peris of The confederacy and the suf
ferings of their families at home, till they
despair Of success.
There must be great disparity in de
condition of the rebel armies and our
own. When the first shock of battle
comes they will fight with all the reck
lessness and energy that is born of de-
spair, and will perform deeds Of daring
hitherto unexampled in the history of the
war. But can they for any great length
of time stand up against the well fed,
well trained soldiers of the government ?
Common reason says no.
In our opinion all that we need to end
the war between this and early autumn is
to exhibit an energy in its prosecution
not yet shown on our part-exhibit the
same hardihood, impudence. dash and
daring that the rebels have shown, and
they will he forced to fall from sheer ex-
haustion--if not from the invincibility OF
northern troops. But victories we must
have, and that soon, or the war will drag
its existence through another long and
dreary winter and spring, which will send
home to be buried in our family burying
grounds, thousands of ardent, patriot sol
ders, cut down by the dread hand of the
spoier. The health of our troops was
never better than now; their spirits are
buoyant; their confidence in their gener-
ais is unbounded; their hopes are high.
May they soon march to speedy victory
is the earnest cry Of every patriot and Of
every christian in the land.

O. A Knight of the Golden Circl,
died in Penn. last week. He had grea
load on his mind which he could not car.
ry out of this world with him, and he
made confession. He said that he was
Knight of the Golden Circle, which
order was secretly and extensively repre-
sented in most northern cities. He said
that regular and general communication
was carried on between the headquarters
of the Knights and the cabinet of JEFF
Davis. That he was cognizant that the
rebel war department had arranged with
the knights to evacuate Richmond for
the purpose of drawing the federal force
that far South, and while their attention
was there engrossed, the rebel army, by
a quick flank movement, would descend
in full force upon Washington, and aided
by general uprising of the Knights in
Pennsylvania and other northern States,
capture the city and seize upon the gov
eminent by force, leaving our army in
the South, at liberty to desolate at the
expense Of retaliation in their own
States.

Mr.. EARLE: | received letter tb

England. / thought, after reading til,
letter, that we ought rot to complain o
the war times. ! send you few extracts
from her letter which you can publish il
you choose
She says: "Everytbing is at very high
prices, and the poor have very hard
times in many places at the South
Those who have money enough get along
pretty well, although we had to do with
out many of the luxuries we used to en-
joy. Your brother bought a cheese last
winter and paid $2,15 per pound. We
were cheese hungry. While we we're
eating it we remarked-wbat would our
N. E. friends say to such prices as we
are paying? Cotton cloth and calico
from 1925 to SO yard coffee $3.50
per pound tea from SIG to $40 per ID. (;
-four $50 per barrel, and everything else
in proportion. / could not bring away

From the Tenth vt. Regiment.
CAMP NEAR CoNRAD's FERRY, !
April II, l843.


April II, 1843.
Mr.. EDITOR: Thinking that wor
from the absent might not be uninterest
ing to your readers, take this opportu
nifty of sending you few lines from tn
10Th Vermont.
The weather, which, through Marc
and the first 9 days of April, was SO col,
and stormy that we could almost believ
that we were inhabitants of the frigi,
zone, has undergone a wonderful change
The mud, which few days since wa
our constant and unfailing companion
has been dispersed by the dry Apri
winds. Spring has come with its warn
sun and genial breath, and mother earth
walked from her long repose, looks smi
ling and gay in her robe of green.
The health of the regiment is excel
lent, there being but men in the regi.
mental hospital, and those are all consd.
cred convalescent. Everything is done
for the comfort and benefit of the sick
that can be done under the circumstan-
ces, and the friends at home need not
fear but the sick of the 10th Vermont
will receive every possible attention and
comfort, as long as they are in charge OF
the skillful and humane hands of Sur
geons Rutherford and Clarke, both of
whom are gentlemen in every respect
and should they be permitted to return
to their homes, | venture to predict for
each a brilliant career.
OF our Colonel, A. B. Jewett, | need
only say, that the command of the bri-
gade, which, on the departure of Gen.
Grover for the south last Dec, was given
to Col. Davis of the 39th Massachusetts,
has been transferred to his hands. The
headquarters of the regiment is now at
Whites Ford, under the command Of
Lieut.. Col. Henry, who is the idol of his
men, for whose comfort and well-being
he is ever on the alert in short, he is
the right man in the right place.
Major Charles q. Chandler com.
mands the detachment at Conrad's Fer
ry, consisting of companies G, B and X.
He is an officer possessing superior mill
tary qualifications and abilities.
Last Sunday, the 18th, we had orders
to be ready to take the field for active
service the next day. All was now bus
lie and confusion. The spirits of the
men rose to the highest pitch in antici-
patton of the privilege of meeting the foe
and proving themselves worthy the
claim OF brothers to the older regiments,
that have so often won for themselves
immortal fame. But five days have
passed away, and we are yet under
marching orders but still uncertain
whether we 60 or stay.
Our camp is very pleasantly situated
n forest of oak about one quarter of a
nile from the Potomac and the Chesa-
'eak and Ohio Canal, and one mile and
half from the battlefield of Balls
Bluff, whose dark ragged front reminds
8 very painfully of our defeat, and loss
f the gallant Col. Baker, August 18th,
SOL.
But the bugle is sounding for dress
arade and | must close, reserving what
lore there may be Of interest for anoth-
time. Yours respectfully,
GEO. H. LAWRENCE,
Co. X, 10th Reg't Vt. Vols.
