GUERRLLAs ON GREEN RIVER. -
party Of thirty guerrillas, under the no.
torious Capt Steele, boarded the r. B.
Speed at Masons Landing on Friday
night or Saturday morning, and accom-
pamed Chat boat as far down as Spotts.
vile, where, after compelling the lock-
tender to let her through, they left her,
and stared in the direction Of Hsnder-
son.
We see the Speed is reloading to re,
turn to Green River this morning, and
we cannot iielp doubling the propriety Of
permitting goods to 60 into that river
while these prowlng thieves are rowing
in that regiou with immunity. 1t is sim
ply supplying the gusrrillas, however
honest and loyal the owners Of boats
may be.
We direct the sttention of the military
and revenue officers to this state OF
affairs.
We do not apprehend that the Scrip
ture injunction, If your enemy hunger
feed him, applies to guarrillas or rebels
-----~e--
B1S- 1t is rumored that a large mum.
Der of men are assembling in the county
Of Crawford in this State, a short dis
lance back of Lesvenworth. Some re.
port that they are partly guerrilas FROM
Kentucky, who have crossed the river
singly and are joined by drafted men o.
this State, and are organizing to resist
the enforcement Of the draft, while 9th
ers say the men from Kentucky are o
those drafted in that State, who ar,
making common cause with the drafted
men on this side Of the river.
It's further reported that the Sheriff
of Crawford county has been killed b
them already and further outrages ar
Rpprehended.
We hope the reports are exaggerated
as there can be no hope of successfully
resisting the laws in Indiana.

Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1864-11-01

Mr.. Wilson, of Bakersfield, was of opinion that
substitutes usually receive more pay, on ths whole,
than volunteers. To pay them bounties beside
would not be expedient
Mr.. Barlow, Of st. Adams, opposed the bill in
any form in which it could be presented. 1t was
entirely proper to make distinction between vol
ante'rs and substitutes There was distinction
made in camp in the estimation in which these
classes Of soldiers are held, and 1t was right to
make the same distinction here.
Mr.. Abbott, Of Windsor, thought it impossible
at the present time to distinguish between worthy
and patriotic subititute' and those who we're act
uated by merely mstcsnary motives. For this
reason and from considerations Of sound economy,
1t would be unwise to pass the bill in any form at
present
Mr.. Colby Of Hartford inquired why it was that
these men who had enlisted as substitutes, had
not enlisted as volunteers if they desired and
hoped to receive State bounties. The fact that
they had not chosen to come manfuy forward to
voluateer, should decide this question of paying
them bounties against them. lie moved to dis
miss the bill.
Alter further discussion Of the merits Of the
bill by Mr. Dorr of Rutland, and Webster of
Charleston, in its iivor and Nicholson Of Wall
ngford, and Greene of Montgomery against it,
the vote was taken by yeas and nays on the mo-
ton to dsmiis the bill. The vote stood l76 to
"a, and the bill was dismissed. Adjourned.

HEADQUARTERS VERMONT BRIGADE,
HARRlsoNBURG Va, Oct. 4th 1864.
EDITOR FREEMAN We are having lovely
October day to-day, and it is all the more lovely
for succeeding several days OF et,dr,sly weather
We are lying quietly here near the village OF Hsr.
ri,onburg-O pretty place once, containing some
hleen hundred Inhabitants, but now, ike almost
ell Of these Southern cities and vilIage', bearing
sbundsnt evidence Of the paralyrng effect Of war.
The camps are spread out on both sides Of the
city, snlArgirg its borders and making it tenfold
more populous for the tented suburbs annexed.
We seem to be waiting here for no particular
purpose, unless it is to pick up what few struggling
JOhnniss there may be left about here who have
become cut of from their main army, or TO collect
a supply Of cattle and horses, what there is left,
and forage il they can find any. Day before yes
terday rebel prisoner was brought in from the
mountain east Of US, and he reported that there
we're about thousand rebels, nditFercntly armed
hid in the mountains watching for an opportunity
Of joining the rebel army They had become cut
of from Early during the late battles, and were
edgng their way around US to join him sgain.
Accordingly Gen. Wright was ordered to ,eid
500 picked men from the best brigade in his corps
to go cut and escort them into headquarters a,
prisoners of war, and accordingly Gen. Wright,
with Napsleon.lke shrcVdness, selected his 500
men from the Vermont Brigade. They went out
early Sunday morning, but the birds had flown.
However The Vermontsrs did not come back boot
less. They captured hundred head or SO Of cat.
tie, a quantity of horses, tome sheep and hogs,
besides finding store Of cider bnndy--a ohstry
article tha! many soldiers love, "not wisely but
too well" As they were obliged to return that
night they could not pursue these fugitive John.
MES, but there is report that our cavalry have
since come upon them and captured nearly the
entire squad. Our cavalry had another little
skirmish yesterday ou, to Mt. Crawford. They
we're attacked by infantry and cavalry, They re.
pulsed the enemy and drove them back about Eve
miles. We had orders to be ready to move to
their assistance at a moments notice, but we were
not needed.
We are now upwards Of hundred miles from
llarpers Ferry and our trains. have to work with
all diligence TO furnish us our supplies They
have no time to play by the way. Bat the coun.

ration', otherwise we might quito often fOd our.

in Harrsonburg there are soae 500 wounded
