THREATENED RAID.

Considerable excitement prevailed iii
Burlington and st. Adams on Saturday,
occasloned by reports that body Of rebels
were at Rouses Point, with the intention
of taking that stronghold All sorts OF
ridiculous rumors were current, chief
among which was the removal Of the fluids
of the Swanton aud St. Adams banks to
this place, That a raid was planned by
the rebels in and about Montreal there
is but little doubt, but as ample prepare.
tons have been made f>r tn cir coming,
their efforts will come to naught
On Friday, information reached Gov.
Smith and Collector Clapp that prominent
secessionists in Montreal were overheard
to say that they had made plan to come
quietly through the Chambly canal with
some armed boats and capture Fort Mont
gomery. Having made this their base Of
operations, they were then to destroy the
telegraph wires and the drawbridge at
Rouse's Point, after which they were to
move up the lake and burn aud plumber
Plattsburgh and Burlington. AS one of
the desperadoes said, Well take mill

NEW VOLUME,

This number of the NEwsDEALER is the
first Of volume four. We have to thank
our friends for the very liberal manner in
which they have patronized US heretofore
and trust they will continue their favors
in the future we hope they will bear in
mind that though there is much in con-
nection with the publication of a paper
that is pleasing, it is not unaccompanled
with cares and expenses. The price of
printing paper continues very high, IN
deed, is much higher now than we have
been called upon to pay heretofore, being
nearly double the price of two years ago
and to meet this demand we shall be
obliged to adhere strictly to our advertis-
cd terms A great many of our subscrib-
ers owe us for one or more years, and we
hope they will embrace the opportunity
offered by tho sitting Of the County Court.
and send us the money, for we need every
cent that is due. y
We shall try and make the NEwsDEALER
a welcome guest wherever it may appear.
We hope to be able in future to devote "a
larger share of our time to preparing mat
ter for its columns, and trust we may be
able to add somewhat to its value as
medium through which to learn of what
is taking place in different parts of the
county. Remember that the more prompt
ly we are paid, the more time we shall
have to devote to the interests of our
readers. r..t... r.- .. .,r.. ...

FROM THE 9TH REGIMENT.
NEWPORT BIS, N. c..
Nov. 18th, 1868.

Mr.. EDITOR AS our regiment has
once more changed localities, perhaps a
few lines from member would be of in
tcrest to some Of your readers, | thought
| would just give you sketch of our po-
stion, &c
The health of the men before we left
Yorktown. was very bad indeed. 1t was
evident to all that if we stayed there
much longer, all would become inmates
of the hospitals. The number Of pri-
Yates for duty at one time, was reduced
to 20 aud many of the officers were on
the sick list, and some in the hospital.
The future looked dismal to us ALL The
men had labored OH their barracks, and
done garrison duty, until it had worn
them out entirely. About that time or
ders came to pack up for move, but
where we we're to go, was mystery to us
