HISTORY OF THE NAR.-We have this
week made an examinat.o of" Victor's
History of the Southern Rebellion" which
Is the most complete, taking all things into
consideration, Of any we have yet seen. 1t
is different from the others in that it gives
more details and a large amount of statis-
teal matter, from the census of 1850 and
1860, showing The political workings of the
South and Of the cause of the rebellion.
il is, in fact, solid mass of historical facts
which every one who would be well in
formed on the great events now Transporting
in the history of our country, should have.
Ii is very convenient for reference, being
divided into different heads and arranged
in alphabetical order. 1t is also beautifully
illustrated with many fine epgravings. We
notice that il is commended by very many
distinguished men, among whom are the
President sRd his Cabinet, Senator Wade
Gov. Andrew, and Geo. Bancroft, the emf
nent and well known historian.
Mr.. John Russ Of Hartford, Vt, own:
the right for the sale Of this work in Wind
ham County, and is now canvsssing in tn,
several towns, and as we happen 10 know
him, We take pleasure in commencing hin
to the people of our county, as one in whom
they may place confidence.

From the Montpelier Daily Journal.

a rebel clergyman, recently taken pris
oner on the Chantilla, battle ground, and
detained over night at Gen., Stouahton's
headquarters, read the Argus with the
greatest pleasure, saying 1t uas better Sc
cesstom paper than any he had seen at tie
South. He said he was glad to read such
a paper from the North, and was surprised
to find it was printed in Vermont"
/ extract this much, from private letter
from the Thirteenth, and desire it published
that it may assure the Editor of the Argus
OF his success for the rebels at the South
do appreciate his efforts and are encouraged,
and if the South is pleased, certainly their
sympathizers at the North may feel well
paid for all they can do; their efforts alone,
now keep alive hope in the hearts of their
Southern brethren-I say brethren" al
though The South long ago repudiated the
tie, yet this only shows more clearly, the
TRUE and LowLY spirit of the Northern
Seceders.
But the same letter describes the feeling
of the Thirteenth, in regard TO the Argus,
as in strong contrast 10 that shown by the
rebel clergyman. He says the Thirteenth
seem to recognize in the Argus an adver-
sdTy, and one they expected to find on
Southern soil; it seems to excite in them
the same spirit, and demonstrations, as If
they had met sworn rebel dressed in
Uncle Sans uniform, and doing The work
OF an Arnold for jeff. Davis. Their de-
monstrations toward such wonld be rather
strong, so the writer thinks the Argus
would be in some danger if company /,
were In its vicinity. But this is of no con-
sequence so long as The South and her
symPathizers applaud. L.

WOLF Run SHOALS, March 10,

WOLF Run SHOALS, March 10, '63.
Mr.. EDITOR ;--Nolhing strange has
take place here up to the Sth inst. On that
wet and stormy night, the rebele made an
other of their daring raids into Fairfax, at
about one or two o'clock in the morning, and
as you have doubtless already heard, captured
Gen. Stoughton. 1t seems they were after
him personally, for they made straight for
his headquarters: into Which they seem to
have got without much trouble.
1t appears there was a spy in the village
for the last week or more, who pretended
to be deserter from the rebels. and said
he had a family about four or five miles off
in the country, where he intended TO 90 in
a short time. Thus you see how the veil
was pulled over our mems faces, for in a
daysor two after, lie left; and the next night
the party came with him as their leader.
They went to S;oughton's headquarters and
asked the guard to show them to the Cen
erals room. They were shown to Prem
tiss' room, Zone of the Staff but on seeing
Prentiss, one of them spoke up" Not by
d--n sight; that amt Stoughton.
know him WE'LL"
Our Colonel (BlunD is now acting Brig
adler of this brigade, and Col. Randall of
the 18th, is to command this post.
Our company is much reduced in num-
bers. Out of 100 men who left Brattle-
boro, there are not over 80 effective for duty.
1t seems rather strange to see how eager
some were to come out here to fight, but
when the day of trial comes for them to
show their patriotism, they are not on time
nary fight do they. Their patriotism has
:" oozed out at the ends of their fingers"

the company ever since we came on to the
soil of Virginia. and have always been on
hand when called on. and am the same to-
dey that | ever have been and with the
help of God, mean to continue so.
The boys of our company are all in good
cheer, and all agree like brothers. When
ever one has anything extra, it is always
shared with the others. 1t is give and
take" The weather is still chilly and WEI,
and we still continue to do picket duty along
the Bull Run stream. Our work consists
of fortifying, repairing the roads, picket
and camp duty. Yours.

NEW HAMPSHIRE Returns
from all but about dozen small towns and
places have been received, and the result
is clean Union victory except in one Con-
gressional district. In that district the vote
is very close. Marcy, the democratic can
.didale, is thought to be elected, though it is
claimed that the official vote only will de-
eide The result. On both governor and con-
Gress vote there is clear Union majority
OF some 500. The Senate will stand 9
Union to s democrat, and the House will
have from do To 90 majority the same way.

HARD ON THE CorPER-HEADs.-T
Richmond Enquirer, while rejoicing over
the assistance given to the rebellion by men
of the Vallandigham school, calls those
worthless mere "stump orators" and in
forms them of the condition on which the
friendship of the rebels is to be had in the
following rather cool manner -
" If they repudiate the debt they have
contracted; and abandon the Government
they have establishes and recant the VOWS !;
and break pledges; and eat dirt it is well !;
we shall be charmed ; the mo, ement will
suit us perfectly and although we shall
not exactly respect the actors in that affair,
yet we shall not be unwilling to trade with
them-hold'ng our noses a 6ule land to
show them all suitable cvililies, but at a
proper distance"
The Vallandighamites have been deemed
pretty rotten at the Moth, but it seems
they are unpleasant TO the nostrils of the
chivalry even.

NEAR SToNEMAN's STATION, Va,
March 18th, 1868
FRIEND SWAIN In the Argus CT Feb
ruary 10Th, noticed a letter from a mem.
Der of Co. G, lllh VT. Vo's. Tn the letter
the writer speaks of my short visit 10 Fort
Slocum, and goes on TO say that Judging
from my converse ion, / don't think and
talk about the war in the same strain tina,
] did when left Bellows Falls. When ]
first saw the letter felt somewhat dis
pleased, for no doubt it was the intention Of
che writer TO carry the idea that was sick
fof the war, and was about to join the ranks
of sham democracy. But on a second look
'sitit, find that the writer has told the
thing just as it is. AT the time enlisted
an my country's cause, was almost dem
'ocrat, but not the kind Of democrats that
they have at the present time. Now / am
an abolitionist of the deepest dye, and am
not ashamed to own it either. am in IA
vor of the Presidents Proclamation. / be-
1ieve it TO be a blow directed to the very
Vitals Of this cursed rebellion and in my
opinion il is the only thing that will bring
permanent peace to our land. There is a
co,oardiy set at the North, that are opposed
to this Proclamation. They are opposed to
the administration and TO everything that is
loyal and just. They are harping on what
this war is costing the Government. They
tell how demoralized the army is becoming,
and they are trying in every possible way
10 discourage the true patriot. Now if these
very men were in the rebel ranks with
a gun in their hands, (although they are too
cowardly to fight,) they would do less inju-
ny than they now do.
My motto is to fight as long as there re-
mains traitor that dares to raise his puny
hand against that flag which shall yet wave
triumphantly over every inch of southern
soil. Yes, / say fight that treacherous host
until they are subdued, if it costs half the
blood and treasure of the North. The time
has come when the people at the North
should take bold of this matter as one man.
1t is determined foe that we are contend
ing with, and it needs our united efforts TO
crush the rebellion that has already brought
sorrow and sadness to almost every home
at the North.
will also admit that spoke in the high
est terms of Gen. Mcclellan, while at Fort
Slocum, but am sorry to say that there is
one thing very unfortunate for little Mac.
and that is this: Nearly every cursed traitor
and copperhead at the North, have become
his most devoted admirers.
Now if either the readers of the TINES
or Argus can make up their minds what
my opinion is respecting the war, then /
have accomplished all that undertook.
The health of the Sd Co. of VI. Sharp
Shooters never was better,--only one man
on the sick list. We only wait for the
southern breezes TO dry up the mud, when
we shall strike our tents and move south

| WAsHNGToN, Sept. 30.-The Missouri del
egation called upon President Lincoln to-day,
| by appointment, and presented, through their
chairman, Mr.. Drake, an address, containing
alleged grievances, and asking for a change of
military commander in the department of
Missouri. The president received the address
and promised to give it careful consideration.
and furnish reply as early as practicable A
free conversational discussion took place, con-
tinuing several hours. The language on both
sides was earnest, though courteous and
friendly. This having been a strictly private
interview, no reporters for the press were
present
The address is signed by the seventy per-
sons composing the committee, who say they
have endeavored carefully to avoid exaggera-
ton, and to speak the simple truth. Among
other things, they ask the immediate restora-
ton OF the military control of Missouri TO the
hands of the national officers and troops, and
the entire discharge Of all the enrolled militia
OF the state from any further service at the
arbitrary will Of Gov. Gamble. Further, that
IN place OF General Schofield, a department
commander be assigned to the department of
Missouri, whose sympathies will be with Mis-
sourls loyal aed suffering people, and not with
slavery and pro-Slavery men. They say Gen.
Schofeld has disappointed their just eXpecta-
tions by identifying himself with their state adj
ministration, and his policy has been, as they
believe, shaped to conform with Gov. Gam
ble's pr0-slavery and conservative views. The
delegation say that, from the day of General
Schofelds accession to the command of the
department, matters have grown worse and
worse in Missouri, till now they are in more
terrible condition than they have been at any
time since the outbreak of the rebellion. They
therefore respectfully pray the president to
send another general to command that depart
ment, and, if they do not oyerstep the bounds
OF propriety, they ask that the commander
sent there be Maj Cen Benjamin f. Butler.
They believe General Buffers presence there
would restore order and peace to Missouri in
less than sixty days. He would be received
by their people with rjoicing, and they would
once more be permitted to feel that loyalty is
to govern Missouri. They entreat the presi
dent to observe, that in their Inflated state the
conflict is between "loyalty and disloyalty."
1t is impossible that both should rule there.
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1863-10-01

One or the other must go down. They say
that if the president refuses their request they
shall return to their homes only to witness IN
consequence of that refusal, more active and
relentless persecution of Union men, and to
feel that while Maryland can rejoice in the
protection of the government of the Union,
Missouri is still to be the victim of Il pro-
slavery conservatism which blasts wherever
it reigns. The address concludes as follows !:
"We ask only justice and protection to our
suffering people. If they are to suffer hereafter
as now and in time past the world will re-
member that they are not responsible for the
gloomy page in Missouri's history, which may
have to record the independent efforts of her
harrassed but still loyal men to defend them
Selves their families, and their homes against
their dSloyal and murderous assailants."
WASHINGTON, Sept 30.-There is the high
est authority for saying that the rumors cur
rent yesterday, of disasters to our arms, are
all false. The Republican of this morning
says good news has been received, which will
be made known in few days.
Al late meeting Of the supreme body of
the Union League of the United States, a set
of highly important resolutions were passed,
amounting in fact to a political platform. 1t
is said that in the course Of few days they
will be made public.

FoRT MONROE, Sept 29.-The Richmond
Enquirer of September 26th, says AFTER
two distinct reports of the re-capture OF Chat
tanooga, we have now the intelligence that
the enemy is still in possession Of this strong
hold that he is probably strengthening its
works; and that our lines have not been adj
vancei further than within four miles of the
town.
"While events Iinger in Tennessee, the
situation in northern Virginia has become
critical. The enemy is preparing for gen.
eral attack on the lines of the Rapidan. In
the past few days the enemy has been mass
ing his troops and forces at Culpepper. His
positions have been reconnoitered, and his
enc:oachments on the railroad and river indi-
cate very plainly the determination to fight.
