The topic producing the most excitement with
US, Just at the present time is that Of e-enlistng
Those here who have already served two years,
provided they re.eulist for three years from the
date of this re-enliNment will receive an addi-
tonal bounty Of $402, with the coveted privilege
of furlough Of thirty Gays. Many Of our boys
here think that thirty days at home viii do much
towards paying for three years more OF service
here. W here thlee-fourths oi company enlist
the company officers have their fur.oughs with
the company, auC the sane rule applies to regi-
ments. Last Sabblth afternoon this brigade was
called out, and Col. Grant explained 10 them the
very liberal offer of the Government, and express
ed the hope that this brigade, under this order,
mig ht have the opportunity of spending the APP
preaching Christmas and New Year together in
Vermont. Nothing would suit these Vermonters
better than such privilege, but it has not been
determined, as yet, whether the pleasure will be
embraced with the conditions appended or not.
| 1t is understood that the 9Th and 4th regiments
have already the number, who offer to re-enlist to
| ON
regiment lacks about forty men of the needed
! number TO send the regiment, but several of the
companies are entitled TO leave OF absence un-
der this order. Some nope is still entertained
that the brigade will o far acceed to these terms
as yet to be allowed short winter vacation in
Vermont. 1t will not be surprising that these
men should re-enliS5, when it is remembered that
under their present enlistment they have, most Of
them, a year still to serve, and by the time this
period has been reached it is thought that the bo-
gus contederacy will expire. The indications now
are that We have seen the hardest fighting Of this
war. If the opening spring should find US with
full army in the field, ready for effective service,
the enemy will be cautious in allowing any en-
gagementS. They 90 not now like to meet US,
unless they can do it with superior numbers.
The soldiers here are well pleased with the
Presidents Message, and especially With his offer
of pardon and protection to repentant and re-
turning rebels, who seek again their fathers
hovse. This document, in connection with the
desponGing ore from Jeff. Davis, have tendency
to inspire good feeling among the soldiers here
and they never have been more hopeful than now
in regard to the termination of this cruel war.
We are also learning here with pleasure that the
Green Mountain State is rapidly filing up her
quota of troops under the last call of the Presi-
dent. This gives US courage here, as We know
Vermonters make good soldiers, and we wish our
State to maintain the proud position that she has
nobly gained in this great contest for national
existence. We are confident that those who rep
resent Vermont here are as solicous for her repu-
taton as those who remain at home. w.

The Addisons were arrested for
carrying letters to and fro between
Washington and Maryland for their
neighbors, some of.which are secesh.
They were first dismissed, but on the
plea that they were unconscious ofthe
contents Of the letters, were replaced
in office.
Commenting op this state of things,
the well Informed correspondent ofthe
N. Y. Independent says:
The principle reason why the de.
tectives ofthe War Department pro-.
nounced upon these men was that it
has come to be an undoubted fact that
for months somebody holding an off,
cial position in the War Department
must have been acting traitor. The
rebels have obtained certain and reli,.
able news from the very interior ofthe
War Department. This is known;
and it must have gone from men em-
ploied there. The wonder is that un-
der such circumstances the Govern !.
meut will continue to employ men who
are not active friends ofthe President
and his emancipation policy.-Let
this rule be adopted, and hundreds
Of men would lose Office instantly-but
no traitors would be left be.

these guns was mounted upon steamer which
had been concealed up the Big Black River. The
enemy had also a light field battery. They struck
the Switzerland twice. doing no damage however
The Albaross was not struck at all. The Hart
ford was struck only once, but this shot struck an
iron hammock stanchion and threw a fragment OF
it forward nearly half the length of the ship, and
