THR TENTH yRRMoNr.-The Tenth YER
mont is now encamped near Warren
Station, about four miles and one half
South of Petersburg. The regiment has
of late lost many officers nom various
causes. A correspondent writes to Wal
ton Journal that Lieut.-Col. Charles G.,
Chandler has recently been dismissed
the service for misbehavior before the
enemy, and conduct unbecoming an off,
Ger and a gentleman. On the other
hand Capt, c. F. Nye of Co. F and
Lieuts, G. P. Welch and Austin w. Full
Ter of Co. X, have been discharged on
account of wounds received at Cedar
Greek. Major L. T. Hunt was compelled
to leave the service by an old wound re-
ceiyed at Gold Harbor June Sd.
From handsome tribute to Col. W
W. Henry, the late commanding officer
of the Tenth, we take the following tes-
timony as to his valor:
"At Cedar Greek, when the enemy had
seized Meningitis Battery, he ordered
his retreating line to about face, called
his officers to form q line with him In
front of the men, and then ordering q
charge, rushed forward, seized the cap.
tured guns from the very hands of the
enemy, and sent their advance fleeing
wildly to the rear !"

The RAILWAY POSTAL SYSTEM before
the end of the present month, says the
New York Post, railway post offices will
run on Eve of the principal railroads in
the United States, besides the New York
and Washington line, on which post
office cars were placed about three
months ago. The railroads are the New
York and Boston, by way of New Haven,
Springfield and Worcester; the Hudson
River Railroad, between New York, AL
bany and Troy; the New York Central,
between Troy and Buffalo; the New
York and Erie, between New York and
Dunkirk; and the Pennsylvania Central,
between Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
The cars on all these routes are in pro-
cess OF construction, OF are finished.
When the new cars begin their trips such
changes are to be made in regard to the
trains as will permit all the post Office
cars to be run in unison; and the mail
matter distributed on board, will be
taken directly from the cars of each OF
the lines to the cars of the other lines,
and thus 60 forward with the ordinary
rapidity of passenger travel. The delay
now caused by taking the mails to the
Offices IN the cities, and there leaving
them for distribution, will be altogether
avoided.
At an early day the post Office cars
are to run between New York and Cleve-
land, Ohio, over the Erie railway, and
afterward to st. Louis. From Chicago
railway post offices are already in opera
ton.

rowing wave swept, and paused rev

the march, in the night time, the bril-

and the slumber Of the camp.
Memorable the music that Knocked
the moon" OF November of the soil of
Georgia sometimes q triumphant
march, sometimes a glorious waltz.
again an old air stirring the heart alike
to recollection and to hope. Floating
out from throats of brass to the ears of
soldiers in their blankets and generals
within their tents, these tunes hallowed
the ewes to all who listened.
Sitting before his tent in the glow of
a camp fire one evening, Gen. Sherman
let his cigar go out to listen to an air
that distant band was playing The
turned to one Of his officers
Send an orderly to ask that band to
play that tune again"
A little while and the band received
the word. The tune was 1.-THE Blue Ju-
niata, with exquisite variations. The
band played it again, even more beauti-
fully than before Again it ceased, and
then, off to the right, nearly a quarter of
amile away, the voices Of some soldiers
took it up with words. The band, and
still another band played low accom-
paniment camp after camp began sing
ing; the music Of 'The Blue Juniata"
became, for few minutes the oratorio
of half an army.-WorId.

VERMONT TEACHERS AssocIATIoN.--The
violent storm of Tuesday delayed the
opening of the session of the Vermont
Teachers Association at st. Adams un-
til Wednesday morning. Vice President
G. G, Parker of Waterbury, acted as
President, and D. G. Moore Of Rutland,
as Secretary VIM. H. Whiting of St.
Adams, was, on motion, elected assist
ant secretary. The following gentlemen
were appointed committee on Business ::
]. D. Wickham, Z. Conant, ]. Sander
son. IN. Camp, J. s. Spaulding and
s. E. Quimby were appointed commit
tee on nominations.
The first business in order was discus
sion, subject, School Discipline. The
subject was discussed by Messrs. ]. s.
D. Taylor, ]. s. spaulding, Rev. J. H.
Worcester, Sanderson and Conant.
The discussion was followed by an
address from Mr.. D. G. Moore, principal
of the Rutland High School. We take
the following from the st. Adams Mes
senger in regard to Mr.. Moore's ad-
dress.
Noticing first the inability of even
educated men to give clear and accu-
rate description of the most common
objects, he was led to inquire If there
had not been radical defect in our sys-
tenn of education. After referring at
considerable length to the principles of
| Pestalozzi system of Object Teaching, he
gave practical illustrations of the theory
which Pestalozzi taught-illustrations
simple in themselves, but which are cal
culated to advance and thoroughly en-
list the attention of pupils. He con-
cluded by saying that ne trusted the
day was not far distant when the system
or its main features, shall be adopted in
all our schools; when the child shall be
taught no longer by formulas or sci
| phrases, but shall be led to investigate
and think for himself, and to clothe his
thoughts In vigorous and appropriate
speech. Mr.. Moore's essay was listened
to with great attention.
The Convention then adjourned till
afternoon.
