He was takon at tender age and placed Mt
West Point, and your fathers and mine wee
taxed to pay for tho instruction that res
cund him from oblivion, We made the
very common mistake Of Judging of the
head rather than heart, and did not notice
the viper that was coiing there, and which
we nursed into liIo to sting us if possible to

When his sohoolboy days were over,
jeff was sent out West here at the Govern

For this, Governor Bisscll called him out,

When he ceased to be Secretary of War he
woke up one morning aud suddenly dis
covered that he had lost his rights.

out of the Union and raised the uuholy

col DAHL LOREN KILLED

COL. HLGREN KILLED,
The Herald's correspondent sends from
Gen. Meade's headquarters what purports to
be clrcumstartial account of Col. Dahl
green's death, taken from the Richmond Sem
tlnel of the 9Th. According to this account,
after leaving the suburbs of Richmond, Col.
Dahlgren proceeded with a portion of his
men toward the peninsular, through the
country of King and Queen. where he met
Lt-Col. Pollard Of the 9Th Virginia, and had
a sharp encounter, in which Col. Dahlgren
was shot dead. Some seventy or eighty of
his men captured. Upon his person were
found an address to his men and a memoran-
DUN of the route he was to take with his
command when he left Fitzpatrick, where he
was to 60, what he was to do, when he was
to be there. and when he was to rejoin the
main rec. The address to his men is a
most spirit stirring a.d patriotic appeal to
their sympathies and valor in behalf of their
fellow soldiers who are suffering imprison-
ment in the loathesome dungeons and upon
the desert islands of the confederacy. He

KILPATRICK'S RAID ON RICH

Why He didn't take il.

Correspondents, who accompanied kilpat
rick, give the following account of the recent
movements towards Richmond:
The much talked of raid by Gen. Kilpat-
rick has ended with failure as to the main
result intended to be accomplished, but with
success in cutting the railroad connections
between Lees army and Richmond and the
destruction of much property, stores, ETC. land
the actual Smelling of Richmond. Starting
on Sunday at 3 A. NJ. from camp with 5000
cavalry picked from his own and Generals
Merritt's and Gregg's divisions, he proceeded
to the Kapldan, crossing at Ely's ford. From
thence the column marched to Spottsylvania
Court House, which place was reached with
out encountering any # the enemy. From
that place to the end of his daring journey
he was more or less harassed by rebels, and
frequently found that bis lines had fallen in
very unpleasant places. At Spottsylvania
his command was divided into different
parties, who were to scnur the country as
they proceeded toward the common centre,
Richmond Every road was to be carefully
secuted, that no concealed foes even in small
numbers should be left behind so as to con-

From the Old Vermont Brigade.

BRANDY STATION, VA, Mar. /, 1864.
To the Editor Of The Caledonian Il
am aware that you are frequently in receipt
of letters from this region, but perhaps a
view of the Army Of the Potomac with its
surroundings, seen through new eyes, may
not be uninteresting. | reckon l ought to
do myself the justice to say that, with, the
experience of my fortnight's campaign, am,
in my own eyes, quite veteran, and could
tell newcomer how to crawl into his tent,
and tumble in TO his bunk in army style.
All the time that have been here we have
enjoyed splendid wea' her, warm and pleas
ant, and this with the green grass just start
ing up is decidedly in contrast to the bleak
aspect Of Vermont when l left there, with
the mercury fifteen minus. But last evening
north-easter commenced, and now we have
| to keep on the corduroys or be nicely plas-
tered with mortar called mud.
Saturday, the 27th of February, the 9th
army corps, Gen. Sedgwick's, were ordered
to be in readiness with six days rations, and
at an early hour were on the march, an in
teresting sight, to one unacquainted to large
military displays. Long lines of infantry
with their cleaning bayonets and handsome
regmental colors, with now and then bat
terry OF artillery, then infantry again, and &C.
casionalIy uninterrupted supply wagon
Their line of march was more than a half
n.'it distant from our camp, put plainly visi-
bic, and occupied several hours in passing a
gwen point. Later in the day squadron
OF cavalry passed directly through our camp
bound on the same GRAND, followed bv q
train OF ambulances; all out on reconnois-
sance across the Rapidan. Kilpatrick's divi.
sion Of cavalry did not start till Sunday -
We have been anxious to hear from them
expecting to hear firing, but heard none till
yesterday, and then only occasionally. Of
course you are aware that the VI. brigade
is connected with this corps though they have
all left guards at their camps, showing tina,
this is not intended for a general forward
movement, but should the weather continue
pleasant and the roads remain in their pres
ent good condition Lee will be quite likely tt
hear from Gen. Meade.
) 1t has been suggested that this presen
movement may be in connection with Gen
