pllsh but little here, we were ordered to
change our front in new direction, and
soon found the enemy massed behind
breastworks. The 18th were ordered to-
the front, and to charge, which they did
splendidly; they received a heavy volley
from the rebels that made them wayer
for moment, but they rallied and
charged on with cheer followed by those
in their rear, and succeeded in completely
dislodging the graybacks from their posi-
tion and captured many prisoners. The
18th received injuries here--among the
wounded of Co. G, was Capt. Kenfeld.
We then fell back, and entrenched our
selves for the night. In the morning the
rebels had skedaddlcd and we were for
warded in a new direction. We did not
meet with rny more fighting to do till we
reached Spottsylvania G. H.; by this
time the boys had got rested, and recov.
cred somewhat from their first fight, al
though our ranks were thinned by the
loss of killed and wounded. Co. G, lost
iu this engagement, killed and IL woun-
ded. Corporal L. H. Brigham has since
died of his wounds The battle of Spott-
sylvania was more terrible than that of
the Wilderness. I will not mention any
! of the movements or describe the position
we held. 1t will be sufficient to say that
the Green Mountain boys behaved splen-
didly and received many praises from their
commanding officer. They fought till
they were all cut in pieces; indeed they
only number now but 100 men for duty.
Co. G lost in killed q: Corporal Luman
Davis and private James A. Hodgman,
and large number of wounded, some of
whom have since died. We feel the loss
of these men greatly; it is a severe blow
to our company, but personally feel the
loss of corporals Brigham and Davis
more than the others, since they were old
acquintances and schoolmates. Feeling
the loss of them as heavily as they do,
and dceming it duty to the slain for
their bravery and manly bearing, the
company have chosen committee and
adopted the following resolutions:
|. Resolved, That in the loss Of cor.
porals Luman W. Davis and Lucian H.
Bingham, and privates Samuel ]. Allen
and James A. Hodgman, we miss four Of
the most important members Of our
company f,
III. Resovled That we deeply mourn
their departure, and that VIC will condole
with their frienis in their deep distress
III. Resol0ed That they died as SOL
diers with their faces to the foe. Corpor.
al Davis fell bravely with his face to
the enemy-having received "minie' in
his forehead Their fall was untimely,
and their friends mourn but their trust
was in God. and they died like soldiers.

holy commands; but alas, how many
such are there! ] regret to say, or at
least fear, but very few. Such motives
are intermingled. too much contaminated
with political affairs, and thirst for
gold. and to use the common expression,
the man who gets the highest Office, and
makes the most money is the best fellow
with no question as to what manner he
obtained either. Notwithstanding all this,
are the good people Of our State justi6able
in taking the advantage of many poor ig-
norant fellows whose helpless mothers in
many instances are dependent upon for
support? Certainly not. l will not con-
fine my remarks in regard to such doings
wholly to our own State. as | find the
same evil existing everywhere duty has
called me, since had the honor of rem.
.dering my services to my country. BIT
enough ofthis; l will weary the patience,
if not disgust your readers in dwelling so
long on such painful subject, nevcrthe.
less true one.
| will now give you few slight sketch
es Of my travels since | loft Brattleboro,
and the green hills of old Vermont, which
was on the goth Of April. proceeded
to New York, via. New Haven, Conn,
en- route to join my regiment, in company
with detachment of the 9TH regiment
of which am member; besides recruits
for various regiments in this department.
On arriving at New York, we took up our
quarters at the Park barracks, to await
transportation, where we remained until
the 4th of May; when after witnessing
the arrival Of the drafted men from Brat
tleboro, who seemed, nowise enlivened by
the bright prospect before them. We
then took our leave, and embarked on the
Steamer Mississippi, bound for this post
We sailed the 9Th. inst, at o'clock P.
NJ. Nothing of importance occurred. un-
til we passed Key West, when a heavy
gale blew up which endangered the loss Of
the boats of those who were unaccustomed
to sea faring life. We reached the
mouth of the Mississippi, at seven o'clock
A. NJ, on the 18th inst, and cast anchor
opposite the city, after a comfortable
voyage of eight days. The weather here
at present is hot and sultry. 10 one who
has never been here before, it seems sur
prising to see corn we'll silked out, and to
find ripe fruit at this season; such as
plums, and vegetables of all kinds, for
sale in the markets. Military movements
are rather in the shade at present. in this
department since Banks expedition that
went up the Red River, has proved to be
a failure. We nave glorious news of late
from the army of the Potomac. | sim
cerely hope before the summer campaign
is ended, that like the Prodigal son, the
rebels will sec the error of their ways,
and come back to their Fathers home,
where there is bread, and enough to spare
especially hard-tack,
Yours truly, CHARLEY.

We learn that the Democrats are now uni
versaly turning their thoughts to Franklin Pierce

Vice President. To give them the least chance
OF electing those two advocates Of peace, Grant,
must be defeated, and the invasion must collapse

wounded during the engagement and was unable
to leave the field. Lieut.. Carpenter, who Law
very near him, land be has since been wounded
reports him as suffering very little from pain
when be last saw him. He distinctly recollects
hearing him repeating the words,
" But never shall forget that many brave bows
must fall,
which would indicate that he feared his wound
was mortal. However, there is reason TO hone
that he vas carried off the feld and cared for BY
the enemy
He may be still alive, and should have writ
ten you before, had not hoped that some posi-
tive information might possibility btained, 90 that
TO grounds for doubt might exist.
Since the commencement OF this CAMPAIGN
which has been a vigorous one-there has been
lite opportunity for communicating with our
''ieuds at home, consequently my communlca.
lions must necessasily be brief, if paw proper
respect to them. but this sad duty consider in
advance Of all others
In conclusion, let me assure you that in this
your time of bereavement and sorrow, that Won
