time in last fall, soldier belonging to the

Wisconsin during the month of October, was

A few days ago the rebel husband, who had
taken the oath of allegiance, returned to this
place, and on going to what he believed to be
his own house, was surprised to find YAM
kee in possession both Of his wife and pro-
perty. He endeavored to oust the Yankee
and enter into his own once more. but was
unable to effect any thing as his wife took
sides with her Yankee husband and refused
to leave him. The affair eliminated yester-
day in a suit before Justice Allison, brought
BY the rebel to recover the value of COW
which he claimed he had left at home when
he went into the rebel army. The Justice
tried u make her understand that her frat

Col. STEPHEN THOMAS. - We had the
pleasure of meeting few days since Colone.
Stephen Thomas of the sth VI, who has just
been hOnorably mustered out of service, his
original term OF enlistment having expired.
This brave and meritorous officers departure
from service will be a source Of regret to all
who have known the Colonel since his entry
into service in February 1862. He has earn
ed reputation for persona. gallantry, and for
devotion to the wants of bis men, that will
keep him long in their regard. Port Hud-
son, Winchester and Cedar Creek, are names
fraught with proud memo les for Col. Thomas
and the Sth VI. Such has Heen his high
standing as an officer, that be has during al
most his entire term of service commanded a
brigade His promotion to bigadiership
has long since been asked for by his superior
effcers, many prominent citizens OF Vermont,
and our Congressional delegation. But their
efforts have been fruiuess, and the Colonel
leaves the service without the rama so Justly
due him not even receiving the compliment
Of a brevet. The following extract from Maj.
Gen. kmorys o'der mastering Col. Thomas
out of service, is fitting tribu.s to his brav-
cry and good conduct: " The General COM
ma nding regrets exceedingly to lose the sery-
ices of Col. Thomas, whom he has twice re-
commended to be brevetted for gallsntry and
meritorious services, and as yet enteriains
the hope that Col Thomas will receive the
promotion that he merits, and return to the
corps"
Maj Gen Sheridan also has expressed a
desire that the Colonel should be made a
hrigadier.- Burlington Times.

Gen. Butter has been handsomely received
by his fellow-citizens in Lowell, and he i'm
proved the opportunity to make very able
speech, which has one great fault. 1t is a
covert and worse than useless attack upon
ieut. Gen. Grant. As slad as we should be
to see Gen. Butler defend himself successful

at the expense Of Gen. Grant.
