letter, received yesterday, explains It,
self
HYATT HorEL, Castleton, July 20.
Friend Gay,-Enclosed In the accom-
panying box YOU will find piece of
fresh salmon, from the region of the
Saguenay. Knowing that editors, like
most other mortals, are apt TO enjoy the
good things of this life when at hand,
thought that the sensation of genuine
salmon from the northern regions, when
well broiled, and placed before, even an
editor, at his morning repast, would be
at least rare, If not q healthy excite
ment. Therefore, l divide my prize
and advise you to lose no time, but go
In" if on fishy muscle" and will en-
deavor to go and do likewise.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM G. HYATT.
Accompanying the above came the
said box, rich in ice-packed salmon of
Saguenay. 1t was the best item we have
picked up in long time, and produced
a decided sensation in the family. We
shall take friend Hyatt's excellent adj
vice, along with his luscious salmon,
and Immediately proceed to Ego in"
with mental calculations for the pros
perity of the donor, his hotel and all
belonging to him. May he olive to
thrash the man that treads on his grave"
PERsoNAL.-Hon. Erastas Brooks Of
the New York Express has been in town
for a cosple days past, visiting Rutland,
Sutherland Falls, etc, in company with
other New York gentlemen who are in
the marble interest. He left for home
yesterday.
The following complimentary no.
tice of Capt. E. A. Morse, who is expect
ed home in few days, is taken from
New Orleans paper:
Lsape of AbSsnce-Ever since the occu-
patton of New Orleans, Capt. e. A.
Morse, A. @. NJ, has been on duty in the
Department of the Gulf for the greater
part of the time having under his charge
the military railroads leading into this
city. His duties naturally threw him
much in contact with the people from
different sections of our State, and we
can safely venture the assertion that no
officer in the Union army has more warm
and true friends among our citizens
than he has. For more than four years
Capt, Morse has performed his duties as
an officer, never once asking for single
days release, and when the war ended
and he applied for furlough, he had the
satisfaction of having his application
endorsed by his chief, Col. s. B. Hola-
bird, in o manner that few other officers
can show. The terms used by Col. IL.
were of the most flattering character,
vouching for his efficiency and faithful
performance of duty, and the result was
the issuing of the subjoined order:
HBADe'Rs Dept OF THE GULF, }
New ORLEANS, June 20, 1855.
SDeeid Orders, No 1854.
Extract.
II. Leave of absence for thirty (30)
days, with the recommendation to the
Adjutant General of the army for an ex-
tension of thirty (30) days, is hereby
granted to Capt E. A Morse, Assistant
Quartermaster Of Volunteers, in consid-
Grafton of over four years OF faithful
aud continuous service.
By order of
GEN. <. R. s. CANDY,
G. I. CHRISTENSEN,
Lit. Col. and Asst Adjt General.
In sixty days from Tuesday next,
when the Captain will endeavor to
leave, we may expect to see him back to
New Orleans. He will receive a hearty
welcome from host of friends, whether
he returns as soldier or civilian.
SOLDIER HURT.-A soldier of the 18th
Vt, named Melvin, was severely injured
near Havre de Grace, Md. He was
knocked from the train by coming in
contact with water tank, while sitting
carelessly with his feet out of the box
car in which he was riding. His hurts
were so severe as to necessitate the am
DutatiOn of his hand and his internal
