Maj.-Gen. Commanding

Treasury DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS.
Washington, Aug. 10, 1865. }
SIR-The great number Of persons now en-
gagged on the frontiers Of the United States and
in our commercial cities. in smuggling, and the
large amount Of foreign goods which are got in
without payment Of duties, render it imperative
upon the Officers Of Customs TO exercise extra
ordinary vigilance and energy in detecting and
preventing these violations Of law, as well as
promptitude in prosecuting every man who may
be found smuggling.
The Department has been informed that an
idea prevails among the people on the frontier.
that smuggling is very harmless business; that,
though contrary to law, yet the only penalty at
tached to its violation IS the possible loss Of the
goods smuggled, should they happened to be seir-
ed. The Department. is unwilling TO believe that
such an erroneous view Of the Law can prevail to
any extent; but, that the community may know
what the lsv really 10 on this subject, and %
what penalties one may subject himself By vio-
lating il, il will be well to have il published IN
some one or more newspapers IN your District.
The law ID as follows .lsa- -5.5-f . -.
"Tbst IL any person shall knowingly and vii
fully. with intention to defraud the revenue Of
the United States, smuggle or ciandestinely n
troduce into the United States any goods. wares.

further than to say hat the Artillery boys
have been generally quiet and well behaved
here since their return, and that We very
greatly regret that any thing has occurred to
lessen the reputation for order and good con-

have occurred in Troy-a city that hasal-

Editor Of the Burlington Tims:
SIR-My attention has been called to two ar
ticles in the Daily Times, Of Troy. N. Y, in
reference to the conduct Of the First Vermont
Artillery while there, which are, in many re-
spects. very erroneous and /, therefore, give the
following the facts in the case, SO far As saw
them, and which think entirely correct
The trouble was first caused BY two women,
who, under the garb of respectable people. min-
gled with the soldiers and sold them liquor from
bottles concealed under their skirts; this saw
and stopped at one time. but il was begun again
while was down TO the rear of the train, and
il was one Of these persons the soldier WAS
cused Of taking undue liberties with Being st
the time partially intoxicated he returned blow
for the no very gentle order to "let the woman
alone, and in return was struck by one or more
Of the persons present.
No one more than myself regrets the scene
which occurred for a few minutes. but the vio-
lence was by no means all on one side, as sever
sl citizens, who we're somewhat in liquor, were
determined to fight, and il was with great deal
Of difficulty they could be made TO stand back
few feet from the cars while the men were being
put on board the train, which was done within
fifteen minutes from the time the first disturb

The man who struck Major Egolf was placed
in confinement. but not the man he thought struck
him the man who struck Mr. Moseley did
not know, and do not now.
As to the impuiation upon the officers and |
men Of the battalion generally, have only to |
say. that none have better record. most Of the |
former having been promoted for bravery and I
good conduct; and Of the latter, instead of be- !
ing mostly Canadians and unty-jumpers,'
tbree-fourths of them at least are sons of Yer /
