FROM TIE ARMY OF TIE POTOMAC.

hbha LIN hhat n VI a ~ - - 100 ~
The Worlds Washington dispatch states
that II is reported that Gen. Smith will com
maud two srtny corps, to be organized at For
trees Monroe. These troops are to be NOV
ID up ne Peninsula while the army OF the
Potomac Keeps Lees forces vigorously en-
ployed. 1t is presumed that Gen. Burnside
will at the same time attempt the old route
to Goldsboro, cutting the railroad there
The expected movement will, however, be de-
laye1 by the storm.
Advices received state that constant addi-
tiors are being made to the deienses Of the
rebel capital. Mines are understood to be
ready at the most vital points.
Gen. Wilson, chief Of the Cavalry Bureau.
has been assigned to the command of the LIST
division Of the cavalry with the Army of the
Potomac Col. KurtE of the 9th Ohio caval-
~ takes charge Of the Bureau. Gen. Neil
and other officers have been ordered to report
to Gen. Smith.
The Times dispatch shows that the rebels
are strengthening their Notifications along
the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, and
building new ones between it and the Fred
ericksburg road. Lee is daily receiving large
sccessions TO his army. His cavalry lie being
recognized and reinforced by mounted in
fantry.
A Washington dispatch says the dissatis-
faction oocssioned among officers Of the Ar
my Of the Potomac, by the consolidation OF
their corps with other organizations, is rapid
ly decreasing, although the men still manifest
much jealousy. few days ago large num-
Der Of the Third Corps, now consolidated with
the Second, appeared on review with their
old badge on their caps, as usual, but with
the Second Corps badge attached to the seat
their pantaloons. 1t 10 thought that active
operations will dispe this feeling.

battle Of Olustee was raging. Turner wss in
communication with Gen. Seymour, but deem
ed it oxpcdient to withhold the order during

Gen. Seymour is secure in bic present posi-
ton, having been reinforced.
Gen. Turner'S testimony as to the conduct
Of the colored troops is that they behaved

in more than thirty engagements in the Army
Of the Potomac. said he had never seen troops
fight better than that regiment Of colored

~ A correspondent argues that the one
term principle (bowover good in the mere
routine Of quiet times,) is wrong now. He
says:
The Tribune claims that no man should DO
President beyond four years Suppose we
adopt that as true theory Of government
Way not then follow tho same rule in all
branches Of service? Surely il knowledge
gained by experience is worth any thing in
the army, the counting room, the farm, the
court and on the bench, it is worth something
in the highest office of trust and honor in ,he
land President Lincoln has acquired fund
of information relating to every department,
from the smallest want Of a soldier to the
grandest point Of diplomacy, and which can
not but be invaluable to the next President
Why do we all feel so much confidence in
Grant, Because experience has ripened him
into the profound sirategist aud the cool
fighter Mr.. Lincoln has all along shown
the good sense to appreciate such men. Whyl
Because his experience has taught him what
is needed.
1t is becoming painfully evident to the poo
pie that we change too often our Congress-
men, Senators and Governors. II was that
policy which induced Vermont to return her
delegation as entire as possible. 1t is that
feeling which will return them again when
their term expires. 1t is that feeling coup
led with the belief in the eminent fitness Of
the man, and our duty to support him now,
as when the rebels first made our electing
him the pretext for rebellion, that will make
Abraham Lincoln our next President and
thus gain to the country the dearly bought
experience Of four years Of war, without the
danger Of change in the midst Of such per-
ilous times. TRAxUs

The regiment already numbers 700 men,
and the Addison County Company is expect.
ed to be organized on Tuesday. About 100
more will bring the regiment to the minimum
which few days work ought to do. he re-
giment will shortly be mustered into the Uni
ted States service by Major Austiue, and soon
afterwards will be cent to Annapolis with
troops there rendezvoused preparatory to
joining the Ninth Army Corps, under Burn
side.
The Governor has appointed Capt VIM. B
Reynolds, Co. l, 9th Vt. Volunteers. as Ma
,ior, and Buel J. Derby Of Huntington, who
was Quartermaster Sergeant Of the Twelfth
Regiment, as Quartermaster of the Seven
tenth Times.
James S. Peck of Montpelier is appointed
Adjutant of the Seventeenth. Lieut. Peck
first entered the service in 1862, as an officer
of Co. |, 18th VI. Vols, and on the promo
ton of Adjutant Whitney succeeded him
He is high-toned, gentlemanly officer, and
carried himself creditably through the trying
scenes Of Gettysburg. His previous know
ledge of the duties of Adjutant will make
Lieut.. Peck a valuable officer upon the staff
of Col. Randall, and it is a capital compli-
lnent to his qualifications that he has had no
formidable competitor for the position.-Bur-
iington Times.
The 18th Vermont regiment has been or
dered to Annapolis, and will start on Monday

of a commoner to say that he would not in
trust the means of cwrying on the war to
Ming who is the war power. The South asks
you to leave them in peace, but now you say
you will bring them into subsection. That is
not done yet, and God Almighty grant it
never may be. hope that you will never
subjugate the South. The president has
proved himself unfit to BE- entrusted with the
moneyed power.
Mr. Davis Of Md. hit the nail on tho head
by observing that the question is not whether
these mon arc technically guilty Of treason,
ba, whether the men are worthy to be repre-
sentatives lie did not admire those mem
beers who had voted that these men are un-
worthy Of seat and yet would not e1pel
them.
The N. Y. World (copperhesd) "repudi-
ates Longs sentiments and deplores his fol-
ly," but thinks he ought not to be expelled
Fairly interpreted, this means that Long is a
bad man and fool, and Congress lie not a
bad place for him. If it were coppethea d
Congress, we would agree. Long ought to
be transferred from Washington to Richmond.
National Currency.
On the llth, Mr.. Hooper Of Mass intro
duced another national currency bill in the
House, similar to the rejected bill. The rub
will probably again be on state taxation and
the rate Of interest.
Tdration of Banks.
II is said that the finance committees OF
the Senate and House are ready TO subjec.
the national currency banks to State taxation.
II the United States will assume all the war
expenses of Vermont, including the 81 per
month extra pay to the soldiers. we will be
willing to give up to Congress the privilege
Of taxing the banks. If not, we prefer to
have the banks in the list.
In the House, April II, Mr. Stevens, from
the ways and means committee, reported a
bill to prevent depreciation Of the curren-
cy. 1t provides that every person, bank as
ISOLATION or corporation passing notes to cir
culate shall pay duty Of one-fourth Of one
per cent. per month on amount issued.-
/ Monthly returns are to be made. After one
/ year it shall be unlawful to issue such notes
unless authorised by act of Congress. The
consideration Of the subject was postponed.
Death of John c. Rives.
The death, April 10, Of the publisher Of
the " Congressional Globe" is a notable event.
By his enterprise aud skill, the Globe" has
become the most perfect record Of legislative
debates in the world. Until 1857, the pat
ronage Of Congress was LIBERAL and Mr..
Riyes acquired a fortune. He deserved il,
and well has he used it. Poor in personal
show, as unostentatious as the humblest ptin-
ter he employed, he was rich in charity -glo-
rious IN good deeds. For many months his
habit was to give one thousand dollars per
month for the benefit Of the soldiers, or their
families, and we do not know that this bene.
faction was suspended at Nll. Doubtless it
will be suspended now and perhaps the
"Globe" itself We learned from Mr.. Rives,
more than a year ago, that he was then losing
money by it, and we are very sure that al
present rates he must have been losing large.
