From the Eleventh Regiment.
In ThR FIELD NEAR }
Cal III Anron Va Innnk ,el

OoAL HARB0R, va. June D, '64.
The regiment left Washington May
18th, and since that time has been en-
gagged in various ways.-we have per-
formed two or three forced marches
might and day which were connected
with Gen. Grants great "fank move
ments" these hard marches the troops
endured remarkably well.
The first fire the regiment was under
was at Spottsylvania, where we were
for five hours subjected to severe she'll
ing, in which Col. Warner and several
Others were wounded. We have since
been on the enemys heels as pickets,
skirmishers, &c, where some were killed
and several wounded. One battalion
and one company were in a charge and
lost considerably in killed and wounded
The regiment has been under fire, more
or less, for the past week, and as the old
troops say, "stand just like Ver-
monters."
The army is now strongly entrenched
on one side and the enemy just as strong
ly on the other. We have much more ar
tillery than they-so that we never fail
to lence their batteries in five minutes
The Eleventh is in the old Vermont
brigade, I'd division, 9th corps. The
brigade is commanded by Brig Gen. L..
A. Grant, the division by Brig. Gen. Neil,
and the corps by Maj Gen. Wright.
We have four or five corps here now.
The "Johnies" are very obstinate and
don't run half so fast as they did during
the flank movements" There have
been several charges made against the
enemys works; in some cases they have
been driven, and again they have held
their ground
1t is almost impossible for our side to
charge against such stroug breast-works
and carry them, and it is always terribly
destructive of life, especially so, if re-
| pulsed. Some regiments go in with
1900 or 100, and come out in about ten
minutes with less than half that num-
| ber,-such is the result of charging
against strong works. .. ......
About four weeks of active campaign.
! ing has led me to believe that the peace
able citizens of Vermont know but little
of the horrors of warfare, although they
read the papers. The regiment is in
good spirits and ready to obey orders
We receive mail occasionally, and let
all those who have. friends in this regi.
ment, write them often, as it is great
comfort to receive letters. Direct, l1tt

The Teachers Institute at Pouitney.

Editor Rutland Herald - Permit me,
through the columns of your paper, to
address word to the citizens of Rut-
land county in regard to the Teachers
Institute, the next session of which is
to be holden at Poultney, on Friday and
Saturday of this week, (June 18th and
1Sthl. My object in thus writing is not
so much to bring before their minds
something new as to impress upon them
more forcibly If possible those facts al
ready known showing what has been
done for the people of the State by the
Institutes, and what the people are expect
ed to do in return. The sessions of the
Institutes from their commencement in
1857, by directing themselves entirely
toward the Improvement of the schools by
means of earnest and determined hard
work, in plain and practical manner,
have been continually winning an in-
creasing favor until now they are recog
nized among the intelligent as the most
useful and efficient instrsmentalities for
educational improvement ever instituted
in our state. By means of these Insti-
tutes, sessions of which are held in each
county in the state annually, the prac-
tical discussions of points of school law,
of methods of instruction, of modes of
government in schools, the necessity of
changes in the management of schools
find access to the minds of nearly two
thousand of the practical teachers and
at least eight thousand of the citizens OF
the state during each year; thus giving
to each teacher the experience of the
many, and awakening in the minds and
! hearts of the people greater earnestness

GUERRILLAs BLooKADED IN A CAVE
The st. Louis Union says that COM
pany of Federal troops recently came
upon gang of guerrillas secreted in
cave in Marias county, and six of their
number were shot down by the concealed
foe. The soldiers thereupon stationed
themselves at the mouth of the cave and
established a blockade The guerrillas
offered to surrender if they could be
treated as prisoners of war, but the sol
diers sent back word that every rebel in
the cave had got to die. Thus the affair
stood at last accounts.

How CoPPERHEADs TALK.-The Boston
Courier publishes purported extract
from Washington letter, written in
the true copperhead vein, which says
there is no doubt that Grant thus far has
lost 100000 men, that his "army is now
on one-quarter rations and thoroughly
defeated" A greater falsehood than
this three-fold assertion was never pub
lished. But the wish is father to the
thought with these copperheads.

They will do good to many wounded

their assistance, and tell them to keep
on doing what they can, in this our time
of danger and trouble. All must bear
their part in this struggle, and children
can do theirs as well as grown people,
and they hare given, and will even II
they sacrifice a great deal that they
value. There are many ways that chill

May Gath, 1864
We have been marching for the past
ten or twelve days, and fighting the reb-
els most Of the time. We were obliged
to leave Alexandria on account of the
river being so low that we could not get
supplies up. Besides, the river was
completely blockaded by the rebels, who
captured two transports and our mail,
and burnt two gunboats when we came
down.
am going to give you an account of
our march from Alexandria. We left
there the 18th of May, marched about
fifteen miles before two o'clock, then
had a good sharp skirmish with the reb-
els and encamped for the night, after
driving them. The next day, the 14th,
we got up at A. NJ, marched about 25
miles and encamped again for the night
The next day we started again, and
about two o'clock came in sight of the
rebels, about 10000 strong, posted in a
fine position. We were in advance with
the cavalry, the infantry being about
| four miles in the rear. Our cavalry be-
gan skirmishing; our battery lay be-
hind some trees out of sight of the reb-
els until they fired two or three pieces
of artillery, when we came out and
| showed them our metal in the shape OF
some ten FOUNDER rifle shell, when they
Immediately skedaddled for the rear
We followed them about four miles when
we came in sight of them posted in line
of battle on a little knoll. We gave
them few shell and they skedaddled
again. We followed them about half a
mile again, and then opened on them
when they returned our fire with six
pieces of rifle cannon. At that time we
had only two pieces, our other section
being to the rear as it was not thought
they would be needed. We returned theil
fire as long as we could, but at length
being nearly out of ammunition, we re
tired about half mile where we formed
