Dear Old Boss - Yesterday morning,
no details for guards or fatigue Was sent
to Battery F. and the boys began to sus-
picion that we were "going away" At
about ten or fifteen minutes after day
break, orders came to roll blanket and
pack knapsack. This confirmed their
suspicion and at ten o'clock they knew
they must take march, a thing they had
not done since the 18th Of last November
when we marched from Fort Bunker Hill
TO Slocurn. AT one o'clock they got into
line, right dressed fronted, and right
faced, and when the command came T" for.

foot toward Fort Slemmer where we ar.

COMMENCE VOLUNTEERING IMMEDI-
ATELY!

The following from the Springfield
Republican is to the point, and we hope
all will realize the necessity of being
about the work.
The number of volunteers to be fur :
nished by the several cities and towns of
this state respectively, under the last call
of the president for 100000 men, will be
published in general order as soon as
the adjutant generals department can ar
range with the assistant provost mashal
general to settle the proportions definitely.
agreeably to the rules established by the
war department. 1t is necessary that the
quotas assigned should conform to those
rules, because any different assignment
would only mislead the towns and cities
in regard to the number required of them.
If draft should become necessary in
January next. it would be made for such
deficiencies in the present call as would
appear by calculation made under the
rules established by the war department,
without regard to any other system of APP
portionment or credits. In the meantime
it is desirable that the officers and people
of the various municipalities commence
their operations for raising men immedi-
ately, for the Governors appeal will be
made directly to them; and the progress
they will have already made will be found
in the highest degree useful. Every step
will tell, and no time should be lost.
Let the recruiting machinery of every
town and city be got into operation at
once. No matter if we do not know ex-
actly what the quotas of every town is to
be- Every man enlisted now will tell on
that quota when it is announced. and
there is no danger of getting too many
men. The time for volunteering is short
and we cannot afford to lose single
day.

COL. THOMAS, SPEECH.

There was large and enthusiastic meet
ing of ladies and gentleman at the Repre-
sentatives' Hall, Friday evening, to listen
to the address of Col Stephen Thomas,
of the 9th Vermont regiment. Hon. P.
Dillingham; presided. He said that the
South attempted secession for the purpose,
as they said, of establishing better gov
eminent than ours, and for that purpose
they supported it by pillars of slavery.
He said we had before ns an officer who
had for nearly two years been down in
the Department of the Gulf, serving
among those ebony pillars; and he had
heard that he thought with regard to them
as Sampson of old did about the pillars Of
the temple of Dagon that if they we're
well shaken the whole ediice would come
down with crash. Whereupon he intro
duced Col Thomas. For the want Of
space, we are obliged to omit report of
his speech 1t was eloquent and power
full for good. He favored every measure
for the total suppression Of the rebellion,
and believed the policy Of freeing the ne
gro was the heaviest blow ever struck.
He was panied to see that there were some
people at home here who dislike to have
the negroes made soldiers. Well. let them
90 down there and stand to be shot at
themselves then: if they got killed he
didn't know which would be the greater
loss. He was hard on copperheads and
towards, paid an eloquent tribute to the
brave troops under his command, and APP
pcaled with thrilling earnestness to the
young men to promptly respond to the
calls of the country whenever made, He
closed cloquently as follows:
{" ] am soon to return to my duty. II
it shall be my lot never to enter this Hall
again. let it be remembered that it is my
highest hope (save that Of a hold upon
eternity,) that this Infamous rebellion 1,

day morning which it is feared will re.
suit in his death. While on his way
from Johnson to Waterville with his meat
cart, the rocker-iron broke, letting out the
king bolt, SO the fore wheels were detached
from the wagon, the fore end of which
fell, throwing Mr.. Ferguson out. He
struck his head upon rock with such
force as to render him. insensible and
causing him to bleed profuscly. DR.. Der.
ry happening to be near by, little dis
lance in advance saw the horse coming
without the cart, and went back and found
Mr. Ferguson, and took him into his own
carriage and carried him home. Mr. F.

The qualities of her mind and character were
remarkably pleasant and interesting. Her lit

was lover of good books. The writings of wise
and critical minds on art, education, poetry
morals, and religion were her fond study and
special delight. Dtfa'
Harriet was a good teacher. Her mind never
wearied in receiving and imparting instruction.
She loved to acquire, and also to impart learn
ing The familiar school room was her paradise
and her circle of admiring pupils her good angels
The delight was mutual. She inspired her own,
fresh glow of enthusiasm within them.
She was very selfreliant. Her step never fai-
tered because she was walking alone, and she
never stopped because Others were busy TO Cd
struct her way. She seemed to know very well
her own position i; and so far as her appropriate
work was concerned, she had more contldencelh
her own Judgement, than in the judgment OF 9TH

Mr.. EDITOR Permit me to present to
the eyes of your numerous readers. and
the ladies of Lamoille County, and vicin-
ity, few facts in relation to the practical
operation of the golden rule, as applied
to the contrabands in and about the Tyler
House, Virginia, by the ladies of Stowe.
There'appeared in the Vermont Chronicle,
September Goth. an article written by
Rev. j. P. Stone, dated September 23d,
now laboring at that place for the ben
eft of the said ntrabands. urging the
good people of Vermont, to forward cloth
ing and bedding, for the immediate sup
ply of the thousands who have escaped
from'slavery, and come to that place for
protection; who are in state of destitu-
tion, entirely unprepared to meet the
chilling blasts of winter near approaching.
This article awakened the christian SYM
pathies of the community, and especially
of the ladies'; and sufficient number of
the latter were appointed to visit each
school district in town, and obtain from
the generous people of Stowe such sup
plies as each benevolent heart saw fit to
send to their relief The grand result
shows we have 46l articles, and $6,79
cash, consisting of garments of all kinds
and descriptions, fitted for the smallest in
FAINT, and from that, ~ to the largest man
or woman; sufficient to fill two large box
es. The value of which to them could
not be less than 5000; and all this done
in the short space of eight days. We
feel grateful to those ladies who have
spent their time to canvass their districts
We feel grateful to the donors, who have
so generously responded to the call, and
to God the bestower of every good gift.
Ladies of Lamoille: 70 and do likewise.
Get what you can. New garments will
be very acceptable, of course, but do not
wait for the slow process of sewing circle
meetings, to make up new things Give
what you can spare, without delay, al
ready on hand. Second hand. and cast
off garments, if good for anything, will
be thankfully received. Send freight pre-.
paid, marked Tyler House, for Contra.
bands, care of William E. Whitney Esq,
81 John Street, New York, and he will
forward them without charge.
Garments for women and children most
needed. And the blessing of them thai
are ready to perish shall rest upon you.

E The new Christian Church now in
progress Of erection at Morrisville was
raised on Wednesday last. and bids fair
to be finished, at the rate it has gone on
so far, in a few weeks. About $l400
has been subscribed for its erection.
At the time Of raising the frame, Rev.
A. A. Williams, who was helping raise
one of the rafters, received blow from a
falling rafter which came near depriving
him of his life, but he is now so as to be
out again and we hope will soon be all
right.

under way. The foundation is being pre-

frame is being so rapidly prepared that
it is thought that two or three weeks of
good weather will be sufficient time for
its erection. The size of the main build
ing is to be 200 by 80 feet, three stories
high. A wing is to extend from the rear,
80 by 40 feet, 4 stories high; and anoth-

THE MILITARY OF VERMONT

We have received from Adjt. & Inspec-
tor Gen. Wash burn. copy Of his report,
"a volume of LOG pages, stored with
valuable information concerning the share
of Vermont in the War, during the eleven
months, from Nov. LIST, 1862, to Oct. l,
1868, covered by the report. We extract
some of the interesting facts contained
in it, and wish we had room for more
The number of three years troops re-
quired from Vermont was under the first
requisition for 100000 men, $780, under
the second requisitiun for 100000 1898,
making l3,448. The state has furnished
1892, three years men, and 1883 nine
months men, over and above all quotas,
previous to the draft.
1t appears that the $3.50 above men
toned exceeds by 700 Vermonts quota
of 100000 men, and as our quota of
54S,l84-which was the number actually
furnished by the loyal States under that
call, and of which the government re-
CURED us to make up our share. When
called on for 700 men to make up this
proportion, the Adjutant General was able
to point to an excess of 100 men preyi-
ously claimed by him, claim which
after investigation, was fully allowed.
Our State has now in the service ten
regiments of infantry, one of cavalry,
two batteries and three companies of
sharp shooters, in all 7l50 are reported
fit for duty.
The regiments have lost, during the
year. an aggregate of 20per cent.-ran-
ging from s to 81 per cent, according to
the regiment. No regiment has yet be-
come depleted to the point Gone half the

able to consolidation but the Fifth, Sew

The result of the Draft is given as
follows:
