On the sd day OF August iooo' .he war
Department authorized the raising OF Two ad-
ditlonal Regiments oil lnlantr! ana one battery
OF light artillery.
In pursuance OF ms ofder my predecessor
made arrangements tor, ana appointed tne nee
essary recruiting officers TO raise the hh regi-
ment OF infantry and the 81 battery OF af'lliery,
and also TO partial extent ihe lolh regiment
OF infantry. II was expected under TINS order
! that these could be raised as veteran ofgahiIa-
tons from the men Just returned from Inc hine
months service, and, as inducements Tor speedy
enllstments, the government authorized the
payment OF bounty OF S4oo TO veterans ana
500 to new recruits.
The severity OF the service wh'ch 'nese nine
months regiments experienced IN the battles OF
Getty sburg, which occurred just on the eve OF
the expiration OF their term, deferred them
from immediate enlistment ana al the ulme OF
MY entering upon the duties of my office but
comparatively few men had enlisted into these
organizations.
On the l4th OF October, 1868, the call Tor
3O0,OO0 men was made by the freslheht' 10
serve for three years, and authority was gwen
for the payment of $500 TO veterans ana Sooo
10 new recruits. The quota under the call as
sessed to Vermont was $3.50 men, ana 'he pc
Rod within which to raise ~ me troops was iim,
tied to January D; 1864. The work was at hrst
very greatly retarded from the dlfhculiy oil

and the fact that under this call new recruits
received $500 bounty from the general govern
ment, while under the order authorizing the
raising of the 18th and 18th regiments, and the
Sd battery, only 500 was authorized, all COR
spired to retard enlistments in these organiza-
iions, and the question was seriously enter
.tained Of disbanding them altogether. Great
expense had been incurred up to that period in
the attempt to raise the men, and to abandon
at that point would have involved the State in
very heavy burden. however did not feel
justified in attempting further to fill the 18th
regiment and, accordingly directed the trans
fer Of the men enlisted for that of the 18th
regiment. Application was then made to the
Secretary Of War for authority to pay new re-
cruits for this regiment the goverRment boun-
" of 5000 instead of 800. This authority
was finally, and after repeated efforts, on the
goth of December, granted. Still further diff
cultes were experienced at this time by the
withdrawal of the town bountes. The embar-
easements thus encountered delayed greatly the
organization Of the 18th regiment. The Sd
battery was filed and mustered into the service
Of the United States on the 9th of JAN, 1864.
On the 18th OF last April, seven companies
Of the 18th regiment were sent to the field un-
der the command Of Lieut.. Col. Charles Cum
mings. On the 18th day of May the Sth com
pany, and on the 9th day OF July the 9th com.
pany were also sent to join the regiment. The
10th and last company has been fully organized,
and is now at New Haven, Conn, waiting TO be
ordered forward. BY special arrangement with
the Secretary of War, this regiment though its
ranks have been sadly decimated by the recent
severe battles, has been accepted as complete
organization, and authority has been granted
TO muster its Colonel.
The total amount of men furnished by the
State since the commencement Of the war is
thrty-two thousand seven hundred and ter

BERWICK BAY, La, March 10th,

| BERWICK BAY. La, March 10th, 1864.
The Third Division of the 18th Army
Corps, are now camped on the banks Of
this beautiful Bay. We have been here
before. just across the bay is the now
almost historical Brashsar City. Here
during two weeks Of last September We
bivouacked on the ground, waiting both
patiently and impatieutly for orders to
get ou: Of the dirty place. Our Division
is now reduced to mere handful of men.
Tho lst Brigade, commanded by General
Cameron, Of Indiana, consists of 46th
Indiana, SD Ohio and Goth Wisconsin
The 34th Indiana and l1th indiana,
formerly belonging to this Brigade, have
veteraned, and will 60 homo on their
promised furlough. The I'd Brigade,
commanded by Col. Rayner of the Seth
Ohio, consists Of Gath Iowa, 28th Iowa,
and Seth Ohio. The Seth Ohio have
reteraned, but much to their disgust,
have no orders yet to return home.
You remember Gen. McClernand, dur
ing the siege of Vicksburg, was relieved
BY Gen. Ord. On the 23d Of February
last, Gen. McClernand, by direction of
the President, relieved Gen. Ord. So
now we have our old commander. It is
the opinion Of your correspondent, that
General McClenand has many qualities
which fit him for general. He is very
sensitive of his rights, is ambitious, has
great mental and bodily activity, would
like to win laurels, has tho good Of the
Republic near his heart, and is brave

Vicksburg, has been divided among 9th.
er commands, aud assigned to duty in
various places. We arc glad to have
McClernand gather Us up and hold US
together. The 18th Corps has a noble
historic name, and We would like to add
additional glory to it.
At Algiers, on the Sd instant, We we're
reviewed by General McClernand, after
which the General gave US speech
The boys looked we'll on review-the

to notice; he complimented both our

and has shown himself able in al
respects, both As ! tactician and as

The Richest Specimen Yet.

The rebel press is noted for getting up
huge canards; but here is something from
the Lynchburg Republican, which is d.
cidedly rich:
Two gentlemen who have been scout.
ing in Prince William county, and have
just returned from there, report that
there has been heavy fight among
corps of Yankee troops stationed near
Bristoe Station, under the following cir
cumstances,
A day had been appointed for re- enlist
ing the men Of this corps, and large
number of barrels Of whiskey had been
brought down, and the heads knocked
out, and the men invsted to drink, in OF
der to get them up to the sticking point.
Some Of the Dutch and Irish pitched in,
got tight, and arrayed themselves in the
line Of the re-enlisted; but the calculating,
full blooded Yankee, together with large
portion of the whole, smelt the rat, and
refused to participate; whereupon the re-
enlisted men commenced taunting the
rest, and general row followed, all par.
ties seizing their arms. The fight lasted
for hours, and the firing is said to have
been terrific. The commanding officers
had six pieces of artillery opened on the
insurgents, and finally succeeded in re-
storing order. Five hundred men are
reported As killed, end long train Of am.
balances and wagons were loaded and
sent off with the wounded. Two thou.
sand Of the men implicated in this affair,
were placed in irons, which gives some
idea Of the extent and importance Of this
affair. This is the second fight the
Yankees have had lately, as reported BY
q prisoner.
Two Yankee regiments, whose term Of
service had expired, were ordered TO ad
vance against the rebels, which they re.
fused to do, aud brigade was ordered
against them. The two regiments are
sa'd to have whipped the brigade, both
losing about one hundred men, killed
and wounded.
