The ports of Norfolk, Va, and FernaH-
dina and Pensacola, Fla, having for
some time past been in the military pos
session of the United States, it is deemed
advisable that they should be opened to
domestic and foreign commerce: There
fore the President Of the United States
has issued his proclamation making
known that pursuant to authority vest
ed in him by act of Congress of June
1861, the blockade of these ports shall
so far cease and terminate from and af-
ter the first day Of December next, that
commercial intercourse with them ex-
cept as to persons and things and in
formation contraband Of war, may from
that time be carried on, subject to the
laws of the United States.
Private letters from the fleet off
Charleston says, recently the steamer
Potomac, sighting blockade runner,
slipped her cable and gave chase with
out effect. Returning subsequently to
get her anchor the rebels opened on her
either from Fort Marshal or Beach In
let, to which she paid no attention, un-
tila ten inch shell struck her forecastle,
killing and wounding number of men,
seven of whom died instantly.
The mail boat fran City Point brings
information that on Thursday night
heavy firing occurred on Buffers ront,
at Dutch Gap, caused by rebels at
tempting to force our picket lines. They
were conpI etely repulsed.

tablished the postoffice at Helena, Ark.

MIppLETowN.-Edftor Rutland Herald:
We want to tell you in brief what the
people of our town have been doing for
our soldiers who have gone to defend
our rights and our country's flag, that
other towns may be stimulated by our
example to do likewise or even bet
ter if they will.
The ladies (managers of our Soldiers
Aid Society always first in good
cause, began to think we were doing too
little, and to stimulate us to love and
to good works" invited Rev. Mr.. Palm
er to come and address us, which he did
on Tuesday eve Nov, s, He also cheered
our hearts with soul-stirring music.
The clergy of our town and Others made
short voluntary addresses in behalf of
the good cause, and at the close we took
up collection amounting to about for
ty-six dollars. But we were not satisf-
ed with that, and as the evening was
far advanced, could not then well ac-
complish all we desired; SO we invited
Mr.. Palmer again to be with us, and he
very generously consented so to do, and
Monday eve the 14th inst, witnessed
another full house, who were eager to
do something for our soldiers who are
doing so much for us. Rev. Mr.. Palmer
in addition to his services, generously
volunteered to head our bounty by do
nation of six dollars. Several gentle
men gave from five to ten dollars each,
and young men and boys Wed with each
other in giving one, three and five dol
lars each. Several ladies also helped
swell the amount by giving one and two
dollars each. At the close we found we
had raised one hundred and forty dollars
Our evenings were both very unpropiti-
Gus, nevertheless we say, well done Mid

The reunion of Vermont officers, who
have served in the army, took place at
the Pavilion Thursday evening" and was
not only very pleasant to Brevet Major
Gen. Stannard, who was especially the
guest of his brother officers, but bril-
liant affair, abounding in good speeches
and good feeling. The humorous was
mingled with the heroic, and the honor
ed dead were brought in sad remem-
brance. Landlord Boutwell, furnished
a good supper which was quietly serv-
ed.
Col. Ripley presided and after the good
things of the table had been enjoyed, the
speaking followed. G.. G. Benedict (of
Gen. Stannard's staff at Gettysburgh)
officated as toast t-master. The first was
in honor of General Stannard, who re-
sponded in a modest and fit speech of
thanks to his friends and honor to the
officers and soldiers of Vermont.
Gov. Smith was next called out by
sentiment in his honor, and he spoke of
the proud position of the State in re-
spect to the war, and paid handsome
tribute to his lifelong friend, Gen. Stan
nard
Adj. Gen. Washburn was next honor
ed, and he replied in an effective speech
upon the services of Vermont troops in
the field.
Col. Pingree and Col. Joyce were
mustered into service" for the occasion
In defence of the old Vermont Brigade;'
Col Bennett and Surgeon Gale for the

L. o. Barstow 18th Vermont, and Rev.
S. G.. Abbott of Windsor, (who served as
Chaplain in the 1st n II, } for the Chap
lains; Capt Lonergan for the Irishmen
in the Vermont Regiments; W. H. Bur-
ton, of the 18th Vermont, for the rank
and file; and Coils. Proctor and Grant
for the provisional army of the FROM
tier"
A toast in honor of the General As
sembly of Vermont, was happily re-
sponded to by Lieut.. Gov. Dillingham;
for the Senate, and Speaker Gardner Of
the House.
The speeches ran into the small hours,
and then the invited guests withdrew,
leaving the officers to attend to business
of their own. We cannot say that it was
to make arrangements for an annual re-
union, as permanent institution, but
such design was suggested by some of
the speakers.
There was but one sentiment among
the officers, and there is but one setiment
in the State, in reference to Gen. STAN
nard. A more modest and unassuming
man is not to be found. By fidelity in
every trust-by GOODNESS, bravery, saga
city, skill worthy of veteran General
he has risen In three years from the post
of Lieut.. Colonel to Brevet Major Gen.
eral. He has risen because he richly
earned every promotion. We thank the
Government for discerning and reward
ing merit. But it has not done enough.
Brevet ought to be exchanged for Ma

vacancy to be filled.-Walton's Journal,

NEW YORK, NOV. ~.
An Atlanta letter of the 10th to the
Herald mentions the arrival of an es-
capped Union prisoner from Anderson
vile, who confirms the statements of
rebel atrocities towards prisoners, and
who alse states that in travelling
through Georgia he found the harvests
had been gathered and the barns and
warehouses well filed, and but very
few rebel soldiers were in the interior,
showing that there is plenty to subsist
an army upon, while but little resistance
can be offered. The last train from At
lanta bound north was to leave Atlanta
on the 1lth. The only troops in Atlanta
on the 10th were Slocum's corps.
A Chattanooga correspondent of the
Herald dated the 10Th inst, says he
has Just arrived from Atlanta, and that
all the arsenals, foundries and rolling
stock in Atlanta had been destroyed.
All the factories, mills and Gs9sReiries
from Chattanooga to Atlanta and seve-
raj miles beyond are destroyed, the
railways Quilted, torn up and all the
iron put beyond use or brought to the
rear. Atlanta is no longer of military
Importance, and the country for miles
around it laid waste beyond possibility of
service to the rebel army.
Atlanta is in ruins and it's streets will
soon be oyergrown with grass. For
weeks trains coming north have been
filled with government stores and refu-
gees, and the scenes at the depot have
been those of confusion and suffering
Another account says that Sherman
had his headquarters on Monday last at
Kingston with the 14th corps. He had
issued an order telling the troops they
were about to pass through country
heretofore unoccupied by either army,
and they were expected to subsist on
the country, taking all horses and mules
within their reach The 14th corps was
the rear guard of Sherman's army and
moved from Kingston on Monday last.
The Chattanooga Gazette learns that
Major Gen. Meagher has been ordered to
report to Maj Gen. Stedman for duty,
with instructions that he be assigned to
the command OF all troops belonging to
the 18th and 18th corps, now in this
district.
The loss in Gen. Gillems force in the
recent encounter with Breckenridge is
estimated at 40 wounded and missing
Gillem is safe at Knoxville.
