THIRD VERMONT BATTERY.

liz FRONT PETERsBURG, Va, June %.
mr. Journal - am happy to inform the
relatives and friends of the members of our
battery, that up to date not one Of Us have
been killed or wounded.
Since writing my last hasty note we have
travelled some distance From Chancellors-
vile TO near fredericksburg, (where our div
ision was detached to guard the supply trains
OF our army thence through Bowling Green
Milford Station, New Town, Newcastle. to
Old Church The latter place is about IS
miles rom Richmond. When the base OF
supplies was change from White House to
City Point, we moved to New Kent Court
House across the Chickahominy to Charles
City Court House bringing up the rear and
crossing the James at Wicox's Landing. AT
ter crossing we were ordered to the front and
proceeded directly to Petersburg where we
have been ever since.
While near fredericksburg the enemys
cavalry attacked our trains but we're hand
somely driven off by our division, shells were
thrown into our camp from their flying bat
teries of six-pounders but we were not per-
miited to reply. Ne doubt you heard of the
attack and repulse They captured none OF
our trains.
Again, after having crossed the James Riv-
err we parked near the shore on low meadow
land. AT about four o'clock p m. we heard
the booming Of gun. We then noticed
steamer passing down the river, who imme-
dlately run up the " stars and stripes" as the
shot passed near her bows. With field
gesses we watched the shots as they fell
thick around her one piercing her bows but
as none injured her running gear, she was
soon out Of range, Tue battery which was
OF SIX guns, the rebels had succeeded in
planting on the opposite bank, a short dis
lance above our pontoons, which at that time
were nearly up. As soon rs the boat had
passed tue " Johannes" espied our tents and
very coolly raising their pieces began to scat
ter shell among us and our horses Our Cen
eral who was witness Of the affair ordered
us To move to more elevated position re-
marking that " they stand it we'll" in fact
every man was at his post. We were not
ordered to return the FIRE, and before we had
moved the enemy stopped sheling us and
soon our gunboat silenoed their battery.
we moved into action on Monday nigbt
aud here we have been ever since The adj
Tanced pieces lay ab,u, forty rods in front of

- The last time wrote we we're
at Coal Harbor | believe, and day or two
after that, or on Sunday June -, we with
drew our force and the whole army commence
ed moving TO the left Of our lines. Although
the movement was made as quietly as posi-.
be the rebels discovered it but did not seem
disposed to follow Us up. We finally reach
ed the James River near which the 9th corps
remained for two or three days as a rear guard
to the army. In the afternoon Of June 1t l.,
think, the lst anu Sd divisions Of the 9th
corps took transports up the James for City
Point, while tine "a division crossed on the
longest pontoon bridge ever saw or heard
OF it contained l02 pontoon boats sixteen
feet apart. This bridge was secured in its place
by old scows and ships anchored in the
stream We marched all night nearly paral-
Tel with the river and in the morning moved
10 southwesterly direction until we reached
The lines Of the 18th corps which we relieved.
IL was nearly dark when we reached there
and could see but little Of surrounding OBJ

the air but some manage to come so low as
To hit two Of our horses within thirty feet OF
my tent and they do occasionally strike the
ground among US but up to this time have
not injured a man. We have been here ak
DAYS and are fast becoming accustomed to
their proximity. Some endeavor to dodge
them but one cannot hear their whistle until
they have entered their mark.
June 81, 1854 Yesterday was inter-
rupted by the enemy throwing shells among
us which accounts for the abrupt manner in
which " broke off, my communication.
However the Smelling did us no damage with
the exception Of disturbing our sand-bag pro-
lection. which was replaced and enlightened
during last night.

There are a large number who are slightly
sick, who are still with us. The constant
firing night and day, the excitement &c, all
tend to exhaust and wear out the men. IL is
possible that we shall be relieved sometime.
1t has only been seven days that we have
been throwing shell at the rebs.'

He met us AZ we crossed the James. He aud

ing now behind the sand bags and occasion
ally send the shells into the " rebs" earth
works to try the range Of their guns. Sud
denly, at times, something throws the forces
into commotion and without an advance on
either side, the air would be thick with shells
and bullets, then our Battery does its part,
and drops a shell accurately. Near our posi-
ton sre two mortars which throws the shells
high into the air and drops them just inside
the rebel works As the shells pass through
the sir at night they are magnificent sight,
particularly from II csc mortars.
Grant has a host OF sand bags and is en-
gagged in bringing up seige guns of immense

FROM WASHINGTON.

The majority Of the select committee Of
the House, appointed to investigate matters
in the currency printing office in the Tressu-
ry Department, have reported that not a dol
lar has been irauduently issued, and that the
cost Of printing is far less than the prices Of
the bank note printers. We knew long be-
fore the establishment of the treasury print
ing Office that this ought to be the result, and
said so to the Secretary. The bank note en-
gravers are extortioners.
Both Houses Of Congress adjourned sine
die al ~ O'Clock p. NJ Monday. It's be-
lieved that all the bills passed by both hou--
es have been signed by the President.
The President signed the War Tax Income
bill aud an act repeating the gold bill.
The communication from Secretary Chase,
which be sent to the committee on ways and
means, June 20, says:
The aggregate revenue from all sources for
the year closing 80th ult, reached S242 00O,-
600 ; expenses, excluding two months pay
OF the army due july /, were $3.50 600 600
The amount in excess Of revenue ia, there
fore, 500 900, 600. Taking the highest a.
'''NN"N N'NiihRs1h an assuming thHN Hii0N''''
neous receipts will reach S35,000.000, the
whole amount Of revenue for next year cannot
be set down at more than S3lS, 100000.
Expenditures are likely 10 reach $3.50 OOO-
900, and $3.50 600 600 are to DO raised by
loans. The loan bill provides for only $500
100000 and that is the largest sum, which,
in the judgment Of Mr. Chase can be reason
ably attempted, There remains then SS2'-
900, 900 to provide tor, and all considerations
of public interest seemed to him to require
imperatiyely that they be raised by an M
crease of revenue He therefore proposed to
raise the deficiency, believing that the change
proposed by him would produce the differ
ence between the rte on incomes by the
old aud new bill added to the tax Of the cur
rent year 81 800 900 tax on leaf tobacco Sl''
100000 ; on smoking and chewing tobacco
$4,000, 900 on malt liquors $4,000, 900 on
dealers sales $4,000 900 on spirits on ham
S5000,0 900 Add the amount not increased,
but brought from the next into the current
year, 1.-TWO mllion) making an aggregate OF
AN actual or virtual increase Of $S5 ,0OO'OOo'
Mr.. Chase escorted Secretary Fessenden
to the Treasury Department Tuesday morn
ing and installed him in office. Mr. Chase
will remain at Washington for some weeks
and render all the aid III bis power to MI
Fessenden.
