PERsoNAL.--JAMEs 5. PECK, Adjutant of the

A HuABuG.-The Brandon Record intlmates
that Col Bement, whom some Of the people here
have occasion to remember Is no better than a
humbug, if indeed he is not wholly an impostor'
We supposed the people would find him out
sooner or later. The }" prominent men" who
gave him letters Of Recommendation, &C., hal
better Withdraw their endorsement ii they have
not already done 50. The Col. has traded long
enough On that capital for the good of tho
pockets Of the people.
CREpT-The Montpelier freeman should be
little more careful, in giving credit for extracts
from private letters as Tor instance from that
relating 10 the Eleventh regiment, in lts last
Issue.-RufidRd Herald.
We conclude from the above that the extract
from private letter relating to the Eleventh
regiment, which we copied last week and cred
tied to the Burlington Tines, originally APP
peared 10 the Rutland Herald We gave credit
to the paper IN which we found it, but are glad
now 10 set the matter right.
