Of drafted men. This is manifestly just
tand the senate will doubtless concur in
the action of the house. A bill is pend
ing to legalize the votes of towns and
proceedings of selectmen in paying or
promising bounties to drafted men,
There is not much doubt that this will
become law, though not without some
Opposition. Neither this act, nor that
relating to the seven dollar month, will
apply to any future draft. An attempt
was made to extend their application to
THE draft which may possibly take place
next January, but the house decidedly
refused so to do, preferring to encourage
volunteering rather than drafting. Il
will therefore be absolutely necessary for
each town to fuanish its quota of volun-
teers. No bounties paid to men hereaf-
ter drafted will be legal, nor will men
who wait TO he drafted receive any state
pay. a bill for the organization, or ra-
Their the reorganization of the militia is
now pending. Il is rumored that, what
ever may be the judgment of the house,
The senate is nearly unanimous ia opin-
ion that the present law is sufficient for
present purposes. Under the recent call
'of father Abraham for "ihree hundred
thousand more Vermont must furnish

fifteen Or eighteen hundred more to make
up deficiencies under previous calls. Ii
hardly seems expedient to organize a
state militia, until we know whether we
have any men left to organize.
1t is not impossible that the session
may come to a sudden close. The Essex
County Railroad failed to comply with
the statute requirement in regard to Civ
ing notice, and unless the legislature over
looks the omission, that project viii fail.
The failure of that and the militia bin
would leave so little to be done that the
legislature can hardly remain in session
more than a week longer. If all the
business can be accomplished within that
time, it will be occasion for great rejoi-
cling.

Especially anything that relates to our re

give you some idea of our movements
sin C leaving Culpepper, though of
course my advantages for gaining infor>
nation are limited.
Saturday, Oct 1st, our brigade which
was encamped about two miles west of
Culpepper Court House, was disturbed
from its usual quietude by being called
into line of battle. 1t was rumored that
the enemy was close upon us. We were
kept in line about one hour, when no en-
envy appearing we broke ranks, struck
tents aud prepared to march Immediately,
which we did, marching about a mile TO.
wards Culpepper, where we stayed that
night During the latter part Of the day
cannonading could be plainly heard in
he direction Of the Rapidan. l should
judge the engagement was with the Glib
corps, as they were in that vicinity.
Sunday morning our (3d) corps moved
towards the Rappahannock, retracing our
steps over the same road we travelled in
getting to Culpepper about a month be-
fore. We had proceeded bat a short dis
lance before it was evident that the enc
my was close upon US. 1t seemed to
have been their plan to flank us and thus
prevent our crossing the stream where
we intended, but failing in this attacked
us in our rear, following US closely all
day, but as far as l can learn doing no
material damag e-not succeeding in
cutting off any Of our trains, which they
seemed desperately determined to do
We crossed Hazel Greek on a pontoon
bridge about O'Clock p. ~, forded the
Rappahaunock at Freeman's Ford about
eight in the evening and bivouacked
near by for The night, having marched
about twenty miles. Monday we were
in line of battle in piece of wood all
day, but as we were not molested moved
on early Tuesday morning. The rebels
themselves early in the day
both in rear and on our left. They must
have crossed the river at Sulphur Springs
sometime the night before. They made
a desperate charge on the first division,
which was at the head of the column, but
were quickly repulsed with small loss on
our side. 1t was reported that we los,
six killed and several prisoners, but ]
think it is not true, as when our regiment
passed the scene Of the encounter they
were burying one man and dressing the
wounds of five or six others. We reach
ed Greenwich that night, making as We
all judged % miles in one day. Again
he cheering intelligence reached US thai
despite the rebels most vigorous and des
perate charges they had not succeeded IN
our trains, and that our caval-
y and rear guard bad everywhere re |
pulsed them. ]

A Rum d" Straw"

A convention of hotel keepers has beer
in session at Montpelier, for the purpose
of securing the repeal of the prohibitorJ
law.
We think the above which we clip
from an exchange about the best com
mentary upon the workings of the liquor
law that can be had. If as some allege
the law is of no effect and cannot be ex-
ecuted, is dead letter, &c, why do the
hotel keepers, rum advocates and rum
drinkers, meet in caucus and endeavor &c
secure its repeal? 1t is not just the
thing for them after all, or they would
not oppose it so persistently. There j,
something in the law they do NOS
exactly like, something that hits them IN
particular or they would not squirm.--
1t cannot be philanthropy on their part
nor can it be because of their great de
sire TO advance the cause that they wish
for its repeal. We suppose no one viii
accuse hotel keepers of being, as a gems
eral thing, very great friends of temper
ance. There are cases where they art
60, but as rule we would as soon expecl
TO find virtue in brothel as for real
heart temperance in landlord. The
whole thing, fhen, lies in nutshell Our
prohibitory liquor law is not dead let
ter, and that is all the reason the run
sellers do not like it. We admit that the
law has not had that effect for good which
its friends aud advocates had Hoped for,
but it has restrained in some cases.
If the law Lad no other effect than to
cumber the statute book, why do those
who dabble in liquor object to it so very
strongly? There is one remarkable fac
that stands out above all others in this
controversy in regard to the repeal OF the
liquor law, and that is, its repeal is advo-
Gated by the liquor dealers and the law
is reviled by them and the dram drinker,
to a man, while temperance men almost
without an exception stand BY it. These
"straws" are significant and prove the
couplet true,

With good opinion Of the law"

MORE THIEvING.-The small thieves

five bushels Of buckwheat, stolen during
his absence. He had lost some previous
to that.
Widow Daggett of this village few
days ago lost, when she was away, +
pillow. This last theft is particularly
mean, as Mrs. Daggett is very poor
woman, and was depending upon the sale
of the plow for the means TO purchase an
article of clothing for the coming cold
winter. But a thief has no soul and
would therefore as soon rob widow at
any one.
