SHELLING THE ENEMY IN VERGEN-
NEs.-Editor Rutland Herald; One of
the wealthiest citizens Of Monkton, and
a notorious copperhead, was rotten-egge1
in the streets last Saturday for uttering
disloyal sentiments.
While our brave boys are pouring
shells into the rebel ranks in Virginia,
the loyal people of Yergennes are she'll
ing the rebels at home.
Popular verdict; served him right
Let all Of the same iIk take warning.
Vergennes, May l6. c.
Col. SToNE.-Among the killed in
the battle of the Wilderness was Colonel
Newton Stone, of the Second Vermont
Regiment. Col Stone was native Of
Readsboro in this county He came to
Bennington in the winter of 1858 9, and
commenced studying Jaw in the office of
the Hon. a. b. Gardner. When the
first Bennington company, afterwards
known as Co. a, 2nd VT, was being
raised, he was among the first that en-
listed, and upon the organization Of the
company was unanimously elected its
First Lieutenant. He was then 22 years
of age. He was admitted to the bar in
June, 1861, stopping in this place for that
purpose while on the way TO Burlington
with the Company to be mustered into
the service. He was with the regiment
ia the first Bull Run battle, and was soon
after promoted to Captaincy. In Jan
uary, 1868, he was promoted to the Ma
jority of his regiment, and in the follow
ing month was made Lieut.. Colonel

nearly year upon Gen. Howe's staff
Upon the resignation of Col. Walbridge
he was promoted to fill the vacant office,
and the battle in which be .ell was the
first in which he commanded the regiment.
Col. Stone was young man of fine
ability, and his loss will be severely felt
by the regiment. By his death another
name is added to the long list of noble
men whom Vermont has lost in this sad
conhict.-Manchester Journal.
