FROM THE 9TH REGIMENT.
NEWPORT BKs. N. c.,
November 9th, 1868.


Mr.. EDITOR - Perhaps it may be in
teresting to your readers to know how
Thanksgiving Day was spent here by the
ninth Vermont regiment. As the pay.
master had not arrived, it became appar-
ent that some other means than that of
purchasing with greenbacks the " fixins"
for dinner. the Col. issued circular.
giving all the officers and men attached
to this post an invitation to join in a
hunting expedition November 25th. The
directions for the proceedings not being
understood by all, or not needed, the re-
suit was perfect confusion, and each man
hunted for himself, and thought himself
very lucky that he came out of the woods
with whole skin, FOR the balls and shot
whistled through the woods III every di
rection. and the game fed to secure retreat
| he tired hunters returned to camp hun
cry if not wiser men. Thanksgiving day
our worthy Quartermaster, who is always
contributing from his private purse to the
comfort of the men. purchased sufficient
quantity of such articles as the market
offered, to give to the men in this regi-
ment a good substantial dinner, of which
all partook with relish. The Col.
thought he would try another hunt, and
number of officers and picket men
started for Bogue Island, distant ten miles,
The men started the night previous, and
stayed at the outpost where Go. B. is do
ing duty, and at early dawn crossed the
Sound to the Island, deployed across
about five miles above the picket post, and
we're to drive the game down to another
line which was to have been posted oppo-
site the picket post. The boat that car
ried the first load over, in coming back
had a contrary wind, and did not get over
in season with the second crew to form
the line before the game, deer, and wild
hogs came down in large numbers but
they passed unframed, except one deer
and few hogs. The day had 50 far ad-
vanced ana they concluded to return to
camp, and try it over some future time.
1t was 8 o'clock P. NJ. before they all got
into camp. All were pleased with the
excursion, and satisfied that there is plen-
ty of game on the Island, and that it is
very difficult to shoot it.
Togue Island is twenty miles or more
long, and in no place over mile wide
Fort Macon stands on the extreme end
1t is covered with timber, and the small
shrubs and vines with an occasional
swamp makes it very difficult for person

to pass in places. The water between
the Island and main land is called Bogne
Sound, and is on an average three miles
wide-but very shallow.
The health of the regiment is fast i'm
proving Tine weather warm, and pleas

The Bible I'm the Army.

An agent in the American Bible Soci-
ETY. of Ohio gives the following statement
illustrating the love of the Bible enter
tanned by the soldiers in our army:
I have also accomplished, trust, some
good in the distribution of Testaments
among the soldiers, three hundred of
whom l supplied during the present
month. It is worthy of note that the
regiment to which these three hundred
belong was supplied by myself in the
summer, as fast as | could procure books
to supply them, and that in conversation
with chaplain the other day, he remark
ed to me that in al his regiment, and
many other regiments also visited by him,
he had never found single instance in
which the books were abused. Said he
with emphasis, sour soldiers prize those
Testaments you gave US beyond all COM
putation" 81 have known soldiers" he
said, "who, when obliged to leave their
pocket weapons, would 60 back after their
Testaments rather than be without them
and in repeated instances In the hospital
have known them to lift their emacia-
ted hands in token of their desire that
should seat myself beside them and read
from their Testamens, when they were
too weak to peruse them themselves. You
need have no fear that they will be neg,
lected. They are priced and read by our
soldiers"

DEATH OF GEORGE SUMNER.--George
Sumner, brother of Senator Sumner, died
in Boston on Tuesday, Of paralysis. The
Boston Transcript says of him:
"Mr. Sumner was one Of the most &C
complished men of the time He was
not only familiar with many languages
and many literatures, but 10 the course
of long residence abroad had explored
almost every part eff Europe, and made
the acquaintance of the most prominent
European statesmen, publicists and men
of letters. The information lie had de-
rived from books was but small part of
the treasures uf knowledge which his OBJ
sarving eye and retentive memory had
stored up in his own mind. He knew
things from personal intercourse, and it
was hardly possible to touch, iu conver.
sation, on any subject connected with the
manners, customs, localities, scenery, or
public men Of European countries, that
his personal recollections and experience
did not throw light on the subject, how
ever remote it might be from ordinary
lines of study"

1t is now hoped iha, the Issue Of frac-

expediate matters, the work of preparation
proceeding night and day. Between forty
and fifty hydraulic presses are up, but only
few are as yet in use. 1t is expected
that when the arrangements are perfected
the amount produced daily will not be far
from Sl50,000 The vignette on the face
of the new currency is the same in design
fer all denominations. 1t represents a

81 Want TO be an Angel .

Mrs. Elizabeth Comstock, missionary
among the poor of London, has for some
time been labOring as nurse and Christian
visitor in the army. She has recently
visited over $4,000 sick and wounded
soldiers. Once, she says, when having a
meeting in a hospital where 800 or 400
lay, we sang the hymn, II want to be an
angel"
A little girl had sent the book contain
ing it, by me to her father in the army,
and requested me to tell her father that
his little girl wanted to be an angel
More than one half burst into tears when
they heard the song. 1t seemed to take
them home. A majority of them, as |
learned, were familiar with thelittle hymn.

1T WAS SLATERY that caused the pres
ent war: butt was not merely the slavery
OF Southern negroes. To a very great
extent it was the slavery of the Northern
white men-the slavery of prejudice, of
Ignorance, and of blind partisanship The
war for the Union has emancipated the
Southern slaves. To completely fulfill
its mission, it must likewise emancipate
the political serfs of the North. The lat
ter species of servitude is quite as degrad-
ing as the former, and quite as dangerous
to the integrity of the Union. Until the
spirit of faction is eradicatcd, and more
liberal views take the place of the stale
political aphcrisma, to which ignorance
and prejudice too long have pinned their
faith, the people will never be truly free /;
aud if the people themselves are not free,
how can they expect free Government
to endure? There must be emancipation
in the North as well as in the South, or
the struggle between light and darkness,
truth and error, freedom and slavery, will
be an eternal one.

Said Senator DOUGLAS, in the last

any act that has been done, any one duty
that has been omitted to to done, of which
any one of these disuniCnists can Justly

when the question of secession was pend
