FRIEND EARLU,-The company has
just learned tina. two letters from each
company only can be sent home, and to
make long stories short, I proposed to
them to have one lettsr sent to you which
might in you paper serve for all. The
principal thing they wish is to have all
know how they are; all that are here
are well or nearly so they begin TO show
different complexion from what they
nd at the Forts around Washington.-
Their friends al home need not borrow
any trouble about their boys, they are all
here aud bound 10 stay and see the end
of this Internal rebellion. l cannot say
too much 10 the praise of the men and Of
fcers Of my company in the way they
endured the march from Fredericksburg
10 this place, on a very hard road Of 20
miles in one day, which for troops unused
o marching was quite bard task.
Il was bard but no murmuring. AS
hey came near to the front brisk she'll
ING commenced by our men followed by
a charge, with the usual yell given by
our Vermont boys on all such moves
ments, which enlivened every man in the
ranks; they were ready for any work,
sore feet were soon forgotten, men stood
tip-toe and tried to look over each other
and see if they could not see how it was
done.
We left of our boys in the company at
Washington, L. p. Brooks, S. Healy,
Maxium hurry, McMurry, G. S. Twiss,
d. Morse, w. Barrett, and at Bell Plain,
MoCarty, Joel Williams, G. L. Heath,
D. CrowlY, and six miles this side of
Fredericksburg we were obliged to leave
T. j. Robinson, sick. The rest are with
US and are well. am in hopes to be
able 10 make as good report after all Of
our moves.
In the mean time l will sign myself
your most obedent servant,

plies, and with large corps Of trained
relief agents and nurses male and fe-

River, to follow Gen. Buffers column
and reach the army of Gen. Grant in
that way. Two other boats went from
Washington laden in the the same way
on the 10Th TO Aqua Creek--thence to
send supplies and agents across the coun-
try to Fredericksburgh. Now we must
send supplies to take the place of these
MS fast as used,--tons per day,-among
our tens Of thousands of wounded.
The wounded of the enemy must also
be cared for. Every stitch is of conse-
quenoe, and they appeal to the women OF
cre,y house TO help carry forward this
mighty work. The Government is do
ing what was never done before by any
Government, or dreamed of. But the
Medical Bureau is not allowed to advance
its store5--so the Commission does the
brunt of the work in first reaching the
sufferers, and its ambulance train bears
them off 10 the reach of the Government
supplies and surgeons.
Send by express (for this emergency
to Brattleboro 60 be paid here).
Yours in haste,

many of our boys lay in their graves and
a great many are wounded. My Captain

only three Corporals in the company to
take charge of it; we went into the fight
with GO guns and came out in about two
hours with 81; Larrabee is wounded
badly ia the foot and leg; be is at The
hospital in Fredericksburg with the rest.
Our. Colonel and Adiutant are both
wounded; we have only two Captains
and three Lieutenants left in the regi-
ment; we had over coo men in the regi-
ment when we went into the fight, and
now | don't think we have more than
250 men we fought our first battle the
fifth and we have been fighting ever
since we shall beat them in the end but
we shall lose a great many men. Tire
General of this corp was killed--Sedge-

MINING.-The Canadian s tocks
are all quoted lower in Boston anC
New York. Many copper stock:
which properly belong among tn c
"fancies,' have disappeared from the
market. Capitalists many of whom
have been bitten by bogus stocks, are
beginning to be more particular
about investing.
The heavy rains and high water
in the streams have retarded opera
tons in gold mining and prospecting.
The "Hunter diggings," now owned
by a New York company, are being
developed under the direction of Mr..
I uck, a practical geologist d
miner. Report says that four men
"panned out" six ounces in two DAYS
last week.
Other claims on the FELTON, and
other brooks in that part of Hatley
are giving very promising indica-
tions.--.Stdaaead journal.

Hon. Portus Baxter, NJ. G.


The whole nation as though with one
voice proclaims the praise of Gen. Grant.
A grateful people crown him with hon
ors. An appreciative government be-
slows upon him the highest military rank ;
all this because he has unfinchingly fol-.
lowed the path Of duty. This is as it
should be. In this we see the untram-
e'cd workings Of the public mind and
heart. Human nature is not so very un>
grateful as cynical writers would have us
believe; its failure to do justice is more
frequently attributable to false issues that
come up to mialead it.
There is an excellent opportunity for
our people to show this appreciation Of
active, energetic, faithful service by re-
turning to Congress the patriotic and hard
working member who now so honorably
represents our district. In doing this we
should be giving to the country the val
liable experience and faithful services of
one who has never been known to finch
from bis duty 10 bis country, MS constit-
uents, and to the soldier. There can be
but one reason for change, and that is
to crafty the ambition of another who
has never had the honor of such place
Of trust At almost any other time we
might consider whether il would be right
to crafty such an ambition, but at this
time when the country needs the services
Of our most experienced men, our hard
working, unAinching men, it is not right
to lay aside valuable, experienced mem

He has aided them with influence, kind

The thunders Of Grants guns brought
him to tho front. What for? To lock

care for the wounded, to lift them from

chase the look of agony from the brow.

Gov. Smith. One Of tie strongest claims
he had upon that convention was his aJ-
