DETAIL FROM THE CAvALRY.--Special
orders of Maj. Gen. Meade. dated Nov. 10,
provided for detail of two commissioned
officers and one enlisted man from each com.
pany from the First Vermont Cavalry to
proceed, without delay, to Burlington and
there to report to the Governor and also
to Maj. Austine for recruiting service.
Great care was ordered to be used in the
selec. ion of officers and men for this duty.
In compliance with this order, Gen. Kill
patrick detailed Col L. B. Sawyer Lieut..
JOHN W. Newton, two scrgeants, two cor
porals and eight privates from the Yer
mont Cavalry.
Col Sawyer, We are informed was spec
tally detailed as a compliment to his bra
very and good conduct in the recent en-
gagements, in which his regiment took
part,
Col. Sawyer and his detail of men ar
rived in town last evening and have quar-
ters at the American. We learn from
the Colonel that he left his regiment do.
ing picket duty on the Rapidan, where
they are exposed to Smelling by the enemy
almost every hour of the day.
The cavalry is a very popular arm of the
service. aud we doubt not that large
proportion of the volunteers under the
last call will prefer it to even the old in
fantry regiments Should this be so our
war-worn and veteran cavalry will soon
be full again.-Burlington Times.

THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving day in this village passed
off very pleasantly and quietly. The at
tendance at. church Was very good
much better than usual on like occasions
Rev. Mr. Whitney gave us very in
structive discourse on God in History"
as shown in the discovery of this CONT
nent. the settlement and growth of the
United States, and the scenes that are be-
ing enacted at the present time. We en-.
joyed the service at church. and after
wards, much more, dinner as was a din
ner, at Lucius buttons, at which were
present Capt Fred Keller and his daugh-
tiers aud sons-in-law, and one son. The
Captain was one of the first Settlers in
town, and has probably cleared as much
land and raised as many thanksgiving
turkeys as the next man. May he live
many years yet, and raise many more
thanksgiving turkeys-and-may We be
invited to help eat them.
Correspondents tell us of the way in
which the day was celebrated in other
parts of the county. We had hoped to
hear from all the towns in the county,
and wrote special request to that end
to ministers in all the towns but one.
Only three have answered yet, From
Morristown and johnson we have an ac-
count by two individuals cach,-on a vol

quest. They all have our thanks for
their favors:
An unusual large assembly convened
on the OCCASION of the late National and

and a discourse preached by Rev. R. H.
Howard. The subject discussed was The

discourse was that the country was now
beaving with the throes and commissions

At the close of he sermon an earnest
exhortation was delivered by the speaker

Over four hundred were fed ut
these tables to Thanksgiving fullness, "

filled one table, and left the Society rich

presence. For this material aid, the la

friends.
1t is impossible to estimate the results
of this Soldiers Festival. Loyalty has
received new impulse, patriotism glows
with greater fervency, the soldiers will
be encouraged by the happy thought that
they are thus remem bered, and will strike
heavier and surer blows; men will not
dare to hesitate, when women venture to
achieve so much, and the one hundred
dollars realized from the Festival, when
expended for the "raw material" and
worked by the same women into those
necessary conf rts for sickness, in hospi-
