You have little idea how destitute the
men are of these things. Many OF them
have not received their pay for months,
and cannot buy the articles; Others
have been Frustrated for weeks by fevers
and were away from their regiments at
the time for drawing clothing. Some
had everything stolen from them while
on their way hither, too sick to think of
anything"
In March, he wrote
Since wrote have seen the fruits

The troops, now to be gathered in

for them the work hitherto done only by
unofficial hands. No; there is no stop
Tor us yet. We are determined-our
letters from all parts of New England
say so, and we heartily respond to their
generous and wise spirit - that our
work shall not cease till the need is en-

will sound the joyful tidings all over

happy day may be postponed, possibly,
for three months yet but we can af-
ford to wait patiently, and work earn
estly, for an end so near, and full in
view.

THE NINTH.-There was a review and
dress parade of the Ninth in Burlington
on Tuesday under the command of Maj
Brooks. Gov. Smith, Gen. Stanard, Maj.
Austine, also Gen. Washburn, Gen. Pit
kin and Surgeon Gen. Thayer were pres
ent. The Burlington Times of yester-
day says;
"The Ninth did themselves the utmost
credit, and their drill was pronounced
by good military critics, fully equal and
in many respects superior to that of the
famous Seventy N Y. Regiment, Their
marching which was superb, was warm
ly commended on all sides. In short
the regiment deservedly received show
ers Of compliments from every one for
their behavior as well as their remarka-
bic skill in tactics. They will be paid
off to-day, and by tonight will be speed
ing away to their homes. While in this
city, their conduct has been irreproacha-
BILE, and tcney will bear away with them
the entire good will of our citizens.

two O'Clock, Mr.. G. B. Blacks barn was
discovered to be on fire. 1t burnt to
the ground together with the outbuild-

cued, but the hay and tobacco were
burned. S. X. Cobb had two tons of to-
bacco in the barn insured for $500 in the
Vermont Mutual. There was 5000 in
surance on the barn and $500 on the
outbuildings. While looking after the
fire Mr.. Black also lost his pocket-book
containing a large amount OF money.
The fire is supposed to have been set by
an incendiary.

Navy is published. The British Gov

she does not make the withdrawal of the
twenty four hour rule absolute, the Sec
rotary suggests that the customary
courtesies to British naval vessels shall
be withheld.

GoLD.-The Financial Editor of the
New York Times under date Of June 20,
says: .... .-- ....s ...
"The price of gold and rates of ex-
change have experienced quite a panic
decline to-day. The gold room broke
down at one time below 1873 per cent.
and bills on London were down as low
as l0S IL per cent, which rate excludes
the shipment of gold to fair profit by
this weeks steamers. Whether the
whole demand for exchange of the week
will be supplied below the gold shipping
standard, is, at present, doubtful, tho
sufficient is known of the movement of
the market, to authorize the calculation
that the export of gold will be reduced
nearly or quite one half from the preyi-
Gus week or two. '" III

NATIONAL CEMETERY AT PETERSBURG.
The remains of thousands of our brave
soldiers lie scattered In a wide semi
circle around Petersburg, and mark the
fields of the various operations against
Richmond, from City Point, westward
and northward for many miles. A great
number fell in the last fierce onset which
burst through the enemy's lines and
gave US Richmond. Their comrades en-
tered the Capital of the rebellion in tri-
umph, but they, by whose lives the vic
tory has been gained, were not permit
ted to enter Richmond, nor are they
with their brothers-in-arms to receive
the plaudits of greatful people. They
lie sleeping where they had so long toiled
and watched and fought. The number
ofsoldiersIburied around and near Peters
burgh since active operations began
there a year ago, must be very great.
What shall be done must be done quick
ly. Ought there not to be National
Cemetery at Petersburg? If the au-
thorities or influential individuals will
move in this thing, they will receive the
earnest gratitude of tens of thousands
whose dear ones lie buried in that re-
gion. What better name could such
grounds receive than "Lincoln National
Cemetery 2"

SAD DISAPPOINTMENT. - Gen. Kirby
Smith, as appears by the late European
news has previously disappointed the
London Tory journals. By one Ameri-
can steamer they received the inspirit-
ing news thrt this redoubtable chietain,
at the head of $1,000 veteran troops, of
whom nearly one-half were cavalry,
was not only prepared to bid defiance
for years to any force that Sherman
could bring against him, but even to
carry the war into Eastern States. The
next steamer brought them the unwel-
come news of his quiet surrender. But,
though intensely disguised, these iourn-
ais were not without comfort. We are
reminded that by this surrender our
troops are Drought face to face with the
French outposts on the Rio Grande."
This is doubtless a very dreadful cir
cumstance, though we fail to appreciate
it. And, besides, they hadr4 not then
heard of the surrender of Sterling Price,
who, according to the London Times,
was likely to prove more formidable as
a general and statesman than Kirby
Smith himself Secessionism dies very
hard in England.

THE IRISH PROTESTANT ESTABLISH
MENT.-The recent debate on the Irish
Protestant Establishment in the House
of Commons has given the subject such
prominence that the question of abolish
ing the whole of that ecclesiastical i'm
position altogether is at present one of
the liveliest topics under discussion in
the British press. Incidental to that
discussion comes out the fact that while
out of S70.401 children in attendance at
the national schools, 710.270 are child
rem of Roman Catholics, and 81 ,053 are
children of Presbyterians, the children
OF persons nominally belonging to the
Established Church number but 56.961.
These figures need no comment.
THE CIRCULAR Seward has

correspondence with the English Minis

suggests that the results following
therefrom be communicated to the naval
officers of the United States:
First, Great Britain withdraws her
concession heretofore made of a bellig-
erent character from the insurgents.
Second. The withdrawal of the "a
hour rule has not been made absolute
by Great Britain; and that, therefore,
the customary courtesy is not to be paid
by our vessels to those of the British
navy.
