Gay The last Lamoiilc Ne,rsdealer
at the close Of very full biographical
sketch of the late Hon John a Child,
uses the following complimentary Ian
guage:
AT the time Of his death, Mr.. Child
held the Office Of Senator and was also
superintendent Of recruiting for this
county, as well as FIRST selectman for
this town.
We could hardly name a man who
would be asmuch missed from the conn
ty as Mr. Child He was public spirited,
energetic and generous Quite a nnm-
Der of men ia this community can point
to HIM as the friend who lent them the
helping hand when making their first
attempt to start in business, and In all
enterprises which had for their object
the public good, he was ever ready to
take part
Many of the men who have entered
the army have reason TO remember his
assistance in providing the means to
leave his family comfortable till he
could get money from the government
In his death, community lose one of
it's most valuable members, and many
of the members of that community lose
a generous friend We all deeply
mourn his loss"

VERMONT TRoops IN THE ARMY OF TIRE
PoToMAc.--The 18th Vermont is in the
9th Army corps, (Burnside's) and in
ID division and % brigade. The Sd
battery Capt. Start is also in Burn
sides corps. The 18th artillery has
been ordered to the front, but we do
not yet know its position. The 2d,
Sd, 4th, 9th, 9th and 10th regiments
are in the 9th Army corps (Sedgwick's }.
The first and third divisions OF Burn
sides corps were engaged on Friday;
SO we infer that the 18th was not en-
gagged. The 9th corps (Sedgwick s.
held the right of the line of battle on
Thursday and Friday and was en-
gagged on both days with Longstreet.

RsS- For months it has been evident
that the most fragrant corruptions exist
in the New York custom house, and
that some of the government officers
there have been engaged in supplying
the enemy with goods contraband of
war, and yet we are only promised an
investigation. Months ago an investi-
cation was promised; why has it not
been made, or if made, why is not the
truth published, and the accused parties
cleared il innocent or punished ifguilty?
