NeaC Hampshire Politics.

The politicians in New Hampshire
have hardly entered upon the present
campaign with their usual vigor, yet as
the canvass progresses they are getting
somewhat warmed up. There is an un-
fortunate schism in the first district for
member of Congress. This district is now
represented by Marcy, a copperhead dem
ocrat. Gen. Gilman Marston was nomf-
mated by the Republicans Of this district,
but some boilers have gone through the
form of a convention and nominated one
Sawyer in opposition to Gen. Marston.
The contest is between Marcy and Mars
ton of course, and this nomination of Saw
yer only plays into the hands Of the cop
pers We cannot believe that the Repub-
licans of the first district will allow them
selves to be duped into re-electing Marcy
by divisions in their own ranks
The election occurs March II, and il
the Republicans are not too confident
Hon. Fred. Smyth of Manchester will be
elected Governor by a handsome majority

BURLINGTON, Feb. %, 1865.
Mr.. EDITOR :-knowing the interest
which people feel for the respective regi-
ments and companies of Vermont, | here
by beg leave to say a word in regard to
the two companies of frontier cavalry
raised under the order of Gen. Dix. TIL,
LIST company, under command of Capt
Josiah Grout, Jr, formerly of the LIST VT
cavalry, left for st. Adams yesterday
where new barracks have been prepare,
for both men and horses The boys left
feeling well at the prospect before them
The I'd company, under charge of Capt
Geo. b. French, formerly Of the 4th Vt.
formed the escort to the,s scars-and after
bidding their comrades a short goodbye
returned to their headquarters.
Last Wednesday, the 22d inst, we eel
ebrated the one hundred aud thirty-third
anniversary of Washington's birthday. The
two companies spent an hour pleasantly
and proftably in listening to the farewell
address of the father of his country, by
Corp. Rogers and speeches by Capts Grout
and French, Lieut.. Clark. Sergts Loner-
gan and May, and Corps. Rogers and
Howard We all felt rcjoiced at the fall
of Charleston, that hot-bed of treason.
and when three cheers were proposed as
the expression of our pleasure at the event,
such roar. no one can imagine it, unless
he has heard soldiers give them. Bur-
lingtOn, about which so much has been
said as to its being duly organized as a
city, elected It's first mayor the l4th inst.
Your correspondent went down to the
city to witness the election, and Judging
from what he saw, the scene was similar
to New Hampshire March meeting
In the evening many knock downs took
place. Mr.. A. L. Catlin, a gentleman
we'll known in these parts, received a ma
jority in every ward The opposing can
dldate was defeated for the simple reason
that he voted against the city charter.
The weather is fine here The snow is

If we are true patriots and have heart

Ii we are not only IN full sympathy

but are too cora'aIy to rally to their sup
port and can no longer bear the pressure

The Military Situation.

The military situation Is now one OF
profound interest, not to say anxiety
Gen. Sherman's triumphal march through
Georgia gives strong hope if no belief that
he will be Just as successful through the
Carolinas. 1t is now supposed that hi'
intention is to form a junction with Grant
in front of Richmond; aud if successful
in this, Lee it is believed will hardly risk
a battle. but will most likely evacuate.
Dispatches for several days past have
represented Lees army as about to DO
something, and Gen. Grant as on the ga
aqre, ready to take advantage OF any move
mcnt his adversary might make. The
coniecturcs as to what Lee will do provid-
cd Sherman reaches Richmond in safety
are various. but most think he will with
draw from Richmond and concentrate the
rebel armies at Danville or Lynchburg,
and thence make a movement to recover
Tennessee and kentucky in the absence of
our troops from that section. In this way
he might subsist his troops and avoid a
decisive battle for some time to come.
by the morning paper it is stated that
probably Sherman has formed a junction
with Schotield. and in anticipation of a
battle between Sherman and Johnston
the War Department has dispatched a
corps of surgeons and nurses to Whining
ton, from which point they will be for
warded to Shermans army. Hospital
stores and everything necessary to the care
of the sick and wounded 90 along.

Where aV0s Gen. Kilpatrick Born ?

Those who read THE CALIFORNIAN care
fully will recollect that in the number of
Jan. 18th we published a communication
respecting parish in Scotland bearing
the name of Fitzpatrick, our correspondent
stating that it was at this place that Gen.
Fitzpatrick, the noted cavalry officer Of the
Union army, was born. The Burlington
Times, with characteristic scurrility, sneers
at us for publishing such a statement, and
claims for America the honor of bearing
to the world this illustrious officer. This
denial reused the real Scotch ire of our
correspondent, (who, by the way, was
born in the same town as Gen. Fitzpatrick. J
and he has forwarded us Il letter from
Gen. Fitzpatrick himself, written ujst af-
ter the battle of Charlottesville to a
friend in fitzpatrick, Scotland, in which
he speaks of that parish as being his ma
tive place. We have the letter before us :;

hard-fought battle that we have ever read

EXECUTIVE MANSION, }
Washington, February 8, 1865. (
His Excellency Gov. Smith, Vermont:

His Excellency Gov. Smith, Vermont:
Complaint is made to me by Vermont.
that the assignment of her quota for the
draft, on the pending call is intrinsically
Unjust, and also in bad faith of the Gov
crnment's promise to fairly allow credits
for men previously furnished. TO illus
trate, a supposed case is stated as follows
Vermont and New Hampshire must be-
tween them furnish 5000 men on the
pending call. and being equals, each must
furnish as many as the other in the lone
run. But the Government finds that on
former calls Vermont furnished a surplus
OF 800. and New Hampshire a surplus OF
900. These two SURPRISES making 2OOO:
and. added to the 5000, making 5000 to
be- furnished by the two states. or 4. 900
each, less by fair credits. Then subtract
Nermonr'S surplus of 800 from her 1000.
lcavS $500 rs her quota on the pending
call; and likewise subtract New IIamp-
>hire'S surplus of l.500 from her 1000.
leaves 2.5OO rs her quota on the pending
call. These $500 and 900 makes pre-
ciScly the 5000 which the supposed case
requires from the two states: and it Is G.
quail for Vermont to furnish 1000 more
NOR than New Hampshire bcceuse New
Hampshire has heretofore furnished 200
more than Vermont. which cqualizes the
burdens of the two in the long run. And
this result, so far from being bad faith &c
Vermont, is indispensable to keeping good
faith with New Hampshire. BY no other
result can the 5000 men be obtained from
the two states, and at the same time dea
justly and keep faith with both; and We
do but confuse ourselves in questioning
the process by which the result is reached
The supposed case is perfect as an illus.
tratOn.
The pending call is not for 10000
men subject to fair credits, but for 3OO,-
900 remaining after all fair credits have
been de,lucted and it is impossible to
concede what Vermont asks, without com.
ing out short of the 300, 900 men, or max
ing other localities pay for the partiality
shown her.
This, upon the case stated Ifthere be
different reasons for making an allowance
to Vermont, let them be presented and
considered. Yours truly,
A. LINCOLN.
