0Ai IRE OF THE VERMONT CAVALRY.
The New York Tribune correspondent, in
his account of Wilson's raid says Gen,
Wilson, having constructed line Of ri
fe pits in rear of the front line OF battle
during the night, left in them the First
Vermont, the Eighth and Twenty Second
New York, withdrawing the rest of his
force a short time before daylight, and
following Gen. Kautz to Rains Station.
The men left with the led HOSES of the
regiment, who remained to cover the
rear, came in afterwards and reported
that the eEemy, turning the right flank
of the men in the breast works, had cap
tured the whole party" This, if cor
rect, added to the loss sustained June
23d, by the capture of the greater part
of the Fourth regiment and large
number of the Eleventh, is placing in
the hands of the rebels considerable
proportion Of the Vermont troops.
THE ELEVENTH REGMENT.-The Elev-
enth regiment lost June 23d, eight men
killed, 26 wounded and 265 taken pris-
oners. The official list of these losses
will doubtless be received within day
or two.
HANDSOME SUM-The total proceeds
of Strawberry Festival given at Bur
lington by the ladies of the Third Con-
gregational Society, July 4th, lasting
through the day and evening, reached
the handsome sum of $3.50.
VERMONT WoUNDED.-Forty-two sick
and wounded soldiers reached New Ha-
ven Conn, July I'd, enroute for Brattle
boro hospital
PERsoYAL.-Col. Warner, Of the 18th
Vermont, left his home in d,llebury
for the front on Tuesday. The wound by
which he has been disabled is nearly
well.
Parser r. j. Richardson, of the Unit
ed States frigate Wabash, off Charles
ton, at home in Montpelier on a short
leave of absence, left there ON the eve
ming of the 4th to report again for duty.
Capt A. H. Nickerman, Veteran Re
serve Corps, is ordered to Brattleboro
for duty at the hospital, in place of Cap
tain Drew, ordered to Montpelier.

the honest corporal, clasping his hands
