CT The draft, as it will be seen by
reference to the list of drafted, hits pretty
nearly all classes, not even favoring min
listers and printers. We are "in," as also
Rev. J. G. Bailey, of this town, Rev. Mr..
Roberts, of Morristowu. We notice also,
the names of P. F. Leavens, teacher of
the Stowe high school. and Geo. B. Coch-
rane, Principal of the Peoples Academy at
Morrisville, the latter enrolled and drawn
in Mortified. Won't we make the rebels
run, if, on inspection, found fit for service.

GETTYSBURG BATTLE.

The following is from a correspondent
of the Springfield Republican:
Daylight of the 9th found the rebels
gone from our front, and we prepared to
follow them, our brigade starting about
noon, and marching some four or five miles
to the rear of where the rebels had their
line. This gave us a "peep behind the
scenes" and such scene | never want to
behold again. Dead men. dead horses,
guns, equipments, caissons, shot and shell,
as we'll as all the other appurtenances of
a battle field, lay scattered and shattered
around in painful profusion. This was
the welcome the rebels received, not from
the Pennsylvania militia. but from the
army of the Potomac, while the citizens
were perched like vultures and turkey
buzzards on the fence, viewing the des-
truction we had committed. aud croakiDg

horses, while they stood by in Incidence,

been promised the aid of the militia at
this time, and to get up there and find no
more signs of that valorous body than we
did on the height, of fredericksburg was
not very encouraging. The generosity of
these Pcnnsy lvanians, that has been so
much boosted by the Philadelphia Inquir-
er, will sound little different when the
fact. that in many houses their hospitali-

soldiers, becomes generally known. Some

THE DRAFT.

1t having been decided that drafted
men can be examined before being re
quired to present substitutes, or pay theil
communication of three hundred dollars
we presume there will be less futter
ing among those who feel badly hit
Some have been in so much of hurry
to secure some one to take their place
as not to stop and consider how OK
traordinary price they would be pay
ing when they propose to pay three hun
bred dollars for substitute. This give'
the mau who is 80 fortunate as to get it
the nice little sum of four hundred and
two dollars bounty, for three years ser,
vice; which, added to the monthly pay
of twenty dollars would amount to 81 ,l22
for three years service. This, when We
consider that the soldier is clothed and
fed by government. is rather more than
poor folks can afford to pay for labor
and we are inclined to the opinion that
there will be found plenty of men who
will be willing to 60 for one hundred
in addition to what the government pay.
Some men in this town are to have
$3.50 to 60 as substitutes, and one man in
Morristown has paid as high as $500 ;
and this while it is almost certain that
he himself would be inspected out.
We certainly have among us some queer
specimens Of flesh and blood in the shape
Of humanity, and in some of them there
is strange lack of manhood. We call
such beings Jumps of clay, or putty. and
no man at ALL
Some men cannot consistently leave
their business or their family, and can
we'll afford to pay all the government asks
in place Of their services; but at the
same time would willingly go if neces-
sary. This is not the class we refer to-.
We mean those who have no particular
reason for not wishing to 60 beside the
fear Of getting hurt.
Such men. it seems to us, are not wor-
thy Of the benefits of free government,
and would be much more at home as the
slares of dcspot, than as the free citizens
Of great and glorious country like this.
A ding is not to blame for being dog, and
perhaps these creatures are not too blame
for not being men. That q man ought
not to be trusted with what he has not
the spirit to defend and preserve. is ad-
mitted by every one; and those men who
have not the spirit to fight for our noble
institutions are unworthy Of the blessings
of American citizenship. Men will show
themselves munly. Let us be men and
let us meet the present emergency as be-
comes true lovers of the best government
that ever blessed people by its protec-
ton

vERMONTERs AT GETTYsBURG BATTLE

FERMONTERS AT G ETTYSBURG BATTLE.
The following is from q correspondent
of the Burlington Free Press, who was
in the fight:
The casualties in the Vt. Brigade were
almost entirely from artillery fire, and
the aggregate of loss from the enemys
artillery was very large. There were
few spots either upon our lines or in
the rear of them, free from danger from
the thickly flying shells. While thous-
ands of them struck and exploded upon
or over our lines, perhaps an equal num-
Der passed either by ricochet or directly,
over to the rear, and caused the loss of
many valuable lives and hundreds of val
liable horses, many of which had been
taken to the rear for safety. Their at
tentions in the shape of grape and can
mister were of course confined to the front
lines, and there was not the slightest &C.
cason to complain of any rant of atten-
ton on that score. The artillery fire as
cur boys rose in line and advanced upon
the flank of the charging column of the
enemy of Friday afternoon, was tremen-
dous, and the three hundred killed and
wounded Of our three regiments, almost
all struck during the movements and
within the space of half an hour, show
that it was not ineffective. The most de-
structive shot noticed took effect in the
18th regiment, as it was marching back
by the flank, to resume its place in line,
after the surrender of the greater portion
of the main rebel column. | was hurry
ing past with an order, when a hud and
cry Of horror close behind me attracted
my attention above the whistling of grape
and din of exploding she'll. l turned to
find cruel gap in the column. OF a file
of four, three had beeu Frustrated by
shell together with two officers marching
by their side. The outer man was whirl-
ed to the ground but believe not much
injured the second was hit and killed
by the passing missile; the third was
struck in the centre of the body and lit
orally dismembered, one leg. barred Of all
but the shoe and stocking, being thrown
several feet from the body: exploding at
the same moment the fragments of the
shell killed the Sergeant Major of the regi-
ment, Smith, to whom | had just spoken
q cheering word, while the explosion threw
bruised and senseless to the ground Lieut.
Col. Munson, who was walking at the
moment at the Sergt. Majors elbow. For
a moment the men in the rear Of the file
which had thus been swept away halted
and drew back aghast; but discipline pre-
vailed in another moment, aud stepping
over their maugled comrades, they closed
up the gap and marched on.
But one instance of unmanly want Of
fortitude attracted my notice, among our
Vermont troops One young man, struck
down by shot which disabled one leg,
as the regiment was hurrying forward
to meet the enemy. burst forth into loud
entreatcs to his comrades not to leave
him, and rising on one knee he even tried
