We have a letter from Ludlow, dated Dec
18th, aQith0Ut signature, asking for a check,
and one dated January 5th, arittoat signature,
asking for still another check. Both of these
letters are evidently from the same person,
and complaint is made in the second letter
that the first is not answered If this indl
vidual will give his name we should be pleased
to comply with his wishes.
We also have letter from South Barton,
dated November q, 1862, OjtRom signature,
in answer to which we should make remit
tance if we had the name.
J, B. PAGE, Treasurer.
The reader of the above cannot but be i'm
pressed with the necessity Of correctly giving
his address when be writes letter, and it is
certainly singular that so many omissions of
this kind are made.
THE MEETING IN LUpLow.-Editor Her
aid The meeting which was adjourned from
Chester to Ludlow, was held in the Universal
ist Church, Wednesday evening, March 4th
Sewall .Fullam, Esq, was chosen President
and M. G. Hyde, Secretary.
The President on taking the chair, in brief
speech, plainly and earnestly stated the issues
now before us, and the duty of eoery man to
cease from quarrelling over the cause of the
the war, to abandon party prejudices and
schemes for prefement, and to devote his
whole energies to the proper solution of the
one real question now before us. Shall we
have one peaceful, happy, La'0-abidiag nation,
or .t10o etegnolg at aear?
Ex-Governor Fletcher followed in a more
extended speech, in which he contrasted our
civil and educational privileges with those of
other countries, showing that the superiority of
ours was the fruit of freedom
Judge French, of Proctorsville, was next
called for, and in the course of his remarks
reviewed the causes of discouragement, and
the great causes for hopefulness and renewed
effort when the present condition of affairs is
eontrasted with that of the early period of
the war.
Others were present whose remarks would
have been acceptible, had not the lateness of
the hour prevented their speaking.
A set of patriotic resolutions was adopted,
anu the meeting duJOufneu 10 feaSSPHlDle at
Csyendish, on Friday, March 6, at P. NJ.
SEVENTH REGIMENT.-We learn from prl-
vate letters that the Seventh has been trans
ferred from Pensacola to Santa Rosa Island
and Fort Pickens, which posts are now garr-
soned by that regiment together with two
companies of the 18th Maine and one compa
ny of regulars, all under the command of Col
Holbrook of the 7th regiment. Capt. H. A.
Allen, I'd q. S. Artillery, is in command Of
the Fort. The regiment is said to be improv-
ing very. much in health.
The clouds which have so long covered the
7th, seem to have parted, and the "silvcr lin
ing' is plainly visible. 1t is to be hoped thai
the dark days of the regiment are now oyer.
ALTERED DRAfTs-A woman who regis
tered her name at the American Hotel as ssSu
sy Clark presented,on the 24th of January
at the ST. Albans Bank an apparently good
draft of $50, drawn by the International Bank
Buffalo, on the Corn Exchange, New York
A similar draft, and for the same amount, wa.
presente at the Onion Bank, Swanton, which
was also cashed. 1t turns out that these draft
were originally only mine dollars, ard were al
tered either by the woman who presented then
| to be cashed or by other parties, to the sun
| above named. The woman, it is unnecessar-
| to say, is not to be found.
