given to the Superintendent and Teachers
who have so tremendously and diligently

noticeable in the exercises of the School

TIE am REGIMENT AT TROY.

The Troy New York Times Of the Both
gives a lengthy account of the arrival and
short stay Of First Vt, Heavy Artil-
lery at that place, and charging them as
being rioters, drunkards, and Commuters
of many serious nisdemeanOrs. The New
York San also charges them with similar
misdemeanors while in that city. The
Times of the next day in attempting to
apologize for their conduct says that the
regiment was mostly composed of Canadi-
ans and bounty jumpers The following
from the Burlington Times, containing
Lieut.. Col. SafFords letter will explain
the matter somewhat:
awe print this morning, from the Troy
Times, a long account of the reported dis
graceful conduct of the First VT Heavy
Artillery at the Union depot in that city
on Tuesday morning. last. If the facts as
related by the Times in its somewhat bit
ter and exaggerated account are true, GER
tainly Vermont has, by its soldiers, been
terribly and shamefully disgraced. But
we are inclined to believe, that upon Il
full and fair Investigation, it will be
found that but handful of the worst
men of the regiment, not over twenty-five
in number, crazed with liquor, committed
the alleged outrages. The conduct of the
First Vermont Artillery, officers and men,
since their arrival in this city. has been
of an unusually excellent character
Scarcely a battalion of men have arrived
here who have been better behaved. Thus
far there has been no rowdyism or drunk.
enncss. The regiment em.route here were
entertained at Rutland by the citizens Of
that village and we hear no complaints
Of their conduct there.
We have received from Maj Stafford
the officer commanding the battalion, the
following statement of the affair, and
knowing long and well the character Of
that gentleman for honesty and sotricty,
we are inclined to consider his version Of
the affair quite as correct and reliable as
that of journal which, in another col
umn of the same issue, publishes "sen-
sation" account of horrible murder in
Vermont, filled with the grossest misrep-
RESERVATIONS, and locating our neighbor-
ing town of Willston at sixteen miles
from the Canada border.
