FROM WASHINGTON,

Maj. Gen. Commanding.
Lamoille newsdealer. [volume] (Hyde Park, Vt.) 1860-1877, 1864-09-07
Written for the Newsdealer.
LIEUT.. COL. CHAMBERLAIN.

Mr.. EDITOR Among the many gal
liant men whom Vermont has given to the
war, none were more deserving than Lieut..
Col. Geo. E. Cham berlin, whose death you
have elsewhere noticed in your columns.
Col. G., entered the service in August
1862, as Capt. of Co. A, of the 18th
regiment. Before the Regiment left Brat
tleboro he was appointed Major, in which
position he served during most of his
military career.
As an officer he was the most accom-
plished military scholar, and thorough
tactician Vermont ever had, outside of
three who were educated at the military
academy. Educated at Dartmouth Col
lege his mind was thoroughly trained
and disciplined, and he brought iuto his
peculiar department--the artillery SER
VEGA scientific accuracy that has very
rarely been equalled. even by the most
accomplished graduates of West Point.
The very excellent reputation the lth
has, both in garrison and in the Geld,
was in great measure due to him.
But it is for character that was iucom-
parably above the routine Of official du-
ties that his memory deserves this tri-
butte from a friend who knew him init.
mately.
He was scholar and gentleman; a
man of the highest honor, aud hero.
He never was guilty of an unworthy
action or "a dishoporable thought.
Beyond his thorough accomplishments
and his Brilliant talents, he was remark
able for his conscientious attention to ev-
cry duty to which he was called. AL
ways at his post his strong will and
faithful energy carried him through hard
ships that would otherwise have broken
down his feeble frame.
A Democrat in politics, he loved his
country. and eheerfully gave his life fol
her.
Although he was cut down in the out
set of brilliant career, if measured by
the good he had accomplished and the
character he developed, his life was long
and noble. b.

sJ We clip the following from the
Stanstead Journal. We have never seen
the machine, but from what we have
heard oft, we can hardly credit the story.
The perpetual motion machine which was
noticed in this paper short time since,
by S. G. Moore, who invented it, we arc
sure has no such contrivancc, as We took
especial pains to examine it,
LEAcH's PERPETUAL MoTIoN.-Our
readers will recollect s,me notice taken
in these columns about year eince of a
small machine exhibited through the
country, which its inventor claimed to
contain the principle of self motion, or
perpetual movement. The machine was
a metallic wheel with system of cords
and falling balls suspended to the arms
of the wheel, which was supported on a
thick base of wood. 1t turns out that
the affair is very ingenious deception.
The base or platform contains sys-
tenn of clock work, with spring run
ming up to the axis through one of the
standards supporting the wheel. When
"wound up" it would run some twelve
hours. The inventor of this wonderful
perpetual motion" is said to have made
quite Gum by humbugging persons, and
then imparting the secret Of course
parties who have invested arc anxious to
get their money back by sale or exhibit
ton, and have had motive in keeping
this secret. t.. ,---
! We hear of two very respectable and
highly moral gentlemen in Sherbrooke
who have small interest in the affair.
We hope it will prove more remunerative
than the legitimate business of making
newspapers, OF constructing obituary mon
uments.
The exposure of the cheat was made
by an honest German pedlar, who propo-
ses soon to bring the matter before the
courts. fta VISOR

THE FAIR AT STOWE.

The Fair at Stowe Aug 23d, was
pleasant and successful beyond the most
sangujne expectations of those engaged
in it.
The High School building. the use ofwhich
was kindly granted. was excellently suited
to the purposes of the Fair. The arrang-
ment or its different apartments was
found to be favorable for decoration, and
for the exhibition of what was to be seen
and sold.
The house was filed early in the eve
ming by large company of those "devis-
ing liberal things" There were present
very many of the guests at the Mansfield
House, and their munifcence contributed
much to increase the sum realized as the
result of the Fair.
During the evening the following note
was received:
SUMMIT HOUSE, MOUNT MANS
FIELD, August sd, 1894.
To the chairman Of the committee of the Fair
for the Congregational Society of Stowe.
DEAR SIR:--l'lease accept the enclosed fifty
dollars for the object designed to be accomplished
by your Fair. J. B. LAMPER, FRANK CROSBY,

Ten DAYS MORE or GRACE An error
has been discovered in the presidents
proclamation for draft, which strangely
escaped notice notice till pointed out by
the N. Y. Journal Of Commerce. The
law of Congress requires an interval of
sixty days between the call and the drafts
The president quotes the law as allowing
but fifty days, and therefore named the
9th of September as the day for drafting
where have not been previously filed.
The mistake will of course be corrected
and postponed to the 10Th, and by that
time the quotas will be so generally filed :,
that little or no drafting will be hecessa-
ry. The rapidity and ease with which
the call for half million men, which
seemed at first so formidable has been
met, is most wonderful and gratifying,
and should silence the croakers and en-
courage the faint hearted PATRIOTS

it must do the same when gold is at 81. 20;

have also been made for trials Of speed on

most interesting and exciting that have

Gaines. Gen. Paige endeavored to OBJ.
tain more favorable terms, but without
success.
regret to state that after the assem-
bling of the rebel officers at the appointed
hour for surrender, outside the fort, it was
discovered on examination that most of
guns were spiked, many gun carriages
wantonly injured. the arms, ammunition,
provisions, etc, destroyed, and there was
reason to believe this had been done after
the white flag had been raised. 1t is al
so discovered that Page and several officers
had no swords to deliver up, and further
that some of those surrendered had been
broken. ft. .s...
The whole conduct of the officers of
Fort Gaines and Morgan presents such
striking contrast IN moral principle,
that | cannot fail to remark upon it.
Col. Anderson, who commanded the for
mer finding himself in perfectly unten-
able position and encum bercd with a su-
perhous number of coDscripts, many of
whom were mere boys, determined to sur
render the fort, which he could not de-
fend, and in this determination was sup.
ported by all his officers save one; but
from the moment he hostcd the white
flag he scrupulessly kept everything in
tact, and in that consideration delivered
it over whilst Gen. Page and his officers
with a childish spirit, destroyed the guns
which they said they would defend to
the last, but which they never defended
at all, and threw away or broke those
weapons which they had not manliness tc
use against their enemies. Fort Morgan
never fred a gun after the commencement
Of the bombardment, and the advance
pckets Of our army were actually on its
gacis. AS before stated, the ceremony
of surrender took place at . p. M, anc
that same afternoon all the garrison vcr,
sent to New Orleans in the steamers Ten

tempts of the copperheads to prove the
contrary. In a letter dated the 18th ult.,
Mr.. Chase says -

that the great cause to which we arc all
bound can be promoted any better or as
well by Withdrawing support from the

To Hg. Gen. Dir:
Gen. Shcrman's official report Of the
capture of Atlanta has just been received
by this department. 1t is dated 26 miles
south of Atlanta, 6 o'clock yesterday
morning, but was detained by the break
ing Of the telegraph lines mentioned in
my pispatch of last night.
As already reported, the army drew
from about Atlanta and on the 30th had
made break of the Westpoint road and
made a good position from which to strike
the Macon road. The right, Howard,

Howard found the enemy in force at
Joncsboro, and entrenchcd his troops, the
salient within half mile of the railroad.
The enemy attacked him at 3 P. NJ, and
was easily repuIscd, leaving his dead and
wounded, finding strong opposition on the
road. .......
l advanced the left and centre rapidly
to the railroad, made lodgment aud
and broke it all the way from Rough and
Ready down to Towards left, near Jones'
boro,' and by the same movement inter-
posed my whole army between Atlanta
and the part Of the enemy intrenched in
and around Jonesboro. We made gen
eral attack on the enemy at Jonesboro on
the lst of September, the l4th corps,
Gen. jeff G. Davis, carrying the works
handsomely with ten guns and about a
thousand prisoners In the night the ene-

him to another of his hastily constructed
lines near Lovejoy's Station, Hood in
Atlanta finding me on his road, the only
one that could supply him, and between
him and,a considerable part of his army,
blew up his magazine in Atlanta and
left III the night time, when the Goth

the place, SO Atlanta is ours. and fairly
won.
Since the 9th Of May we have been in
