SENATE CHAMBER, MONTPELIER.
Oct. 29th, 1866.
My DEAR SIR
In your letter of the 9th inst, which YOU we're
pleased to address to me, you inform me that
the Hon. Asa Owen Adds has been put in nom-
nation by portion Of the freemen of the Sd
Congressional District as a candidate for mem
Der of Congress, to be supported by the free
men of said District, at the ensuing election; and
you therein enquire whether | am authorized
to withdraw Judge Adds name from the CON
test and whether IN the event of his election,
he would return and enter upon the duties OF
the Office In reply to these enquiries remark,
that l am confident Judge Adds has no knowl-
edge of his nomination, or that such nomination
was ever contemplated by his fellow citizens of
the District, and / certainly have no authority
from the Judge, directly or indirectly, to with
draw his name from the contest, or To take any
action whatever, either in relation to his nomi-
nation or the Withdrawal of his name from the
canvass.
As to the remaining enquiry, of whether the
Judge, if elected S7vuid accept the position and
enter upon the discharge of its duties you will
readily per ceiye my answer must be mere matter
Of opinion, which, perhaps, others could as well
determine as myself. Ny Ouep opinion, however,
is, that should the Judge be fairly and honora-
bly, elected, he would feel it his duty and his
pleasure to accept the appointment, and enter
upon the discharge Of its duties
Respectfully, yours,
DANIEL KELLOGG.

Consumption OF Meat In New York

The New York Sun in an interesting
article on How the City is fed "
says there are seventeen thousand
butchers who have daily to go to
Washington or Fulton Market to pro-
cure their melt for the day. Besides
these, some one to three hundred
thousand of the public likewise go
there for their supplies. Taking, on
an average. that each family of five
persons consumes three pounds Of
meat for dinner, it follows that about
one hundred and thirty-fve tons of
meat are daily taken away from the
market IN small quantities. Taking
the price OF meat at the average rate
for fine descriptions of meat, about
4 eighteen cents per pound, we find that
about S54,00e pass hands each morn
lng--supposing only one hundred
thousand persons buy meat. If we
calculate the whole meat eating popu
lation to be eight hundred Thousand,
and that these each consume q pound
of meat per diem, which is not very
excessive average, and taking the av-
erage price Of meat to be fifteen cents
per pound, which is the lowest price
beef is sold at liz the city, we see that
over sl20,0O0 are daily distributed by
the inhabitants Of New York for meat
alone.
The States of Illinois, Ohio, New
York, Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas aud
Michigan, furnish the principal por.
ton Of the meat, the largest quantit,
coming from the first named State. 49,
About $500 appear to be the week.,

Adjutant Generals Report.

AdJutant and inspector General, L.
+. Washburn has our thanks for a
copy of his able report from Oct. l
1865, to Oct ! 1866 From the report
we learn that of twenty-eigbt thousand
nine bundled and sixty seven officers
and men who have served in Vermont
organizations, all are finally accounted
for, with The exception of scyenty-hvc
men. Our gallant little State has fur
nished during the war thirty-four thou
sand two hundred and thirty eight
men, being an excess over the aggre-
gate quotas under all calls, OF five
hundred and nine men The number
credited TO the State by the War De-
paitRent is thirty five thousand two
hundred and forty two, exceeding the
number shown by the records in the
Adjutauts office by one thousand and
four, giving the State a credit,
over the aggregate quotas under ali
calls, Of ffteeen hundred and thirteen
men. Gen. Washburn is of the opin-
ion that the discrepancy may be and
probably is to be accounted for, to Il
considerable extent by enlistments in
organizations Of other States TO the
credit Of this State, which appeared
upon the muster.in rolls Of those or
carnations, and we're not reported to
the State
The aggregate expenditure by the
State ana the several localities in the
State for war purposes is 9,0S7, 1853 40.
OF the 1925 men furnished, 5,12S
were lost by death, killed in action, on
died of wounds disease, or otherwise,
and 1922 men were discharged from
the service for wounds, disability, or
otherwise, an aggregate of loss by
death or discharge, OF 10000 men, -
more than two cut Of seven of the
whole number furnished. The Adiu-
tant General very Justly recommends
that the official records and files in his
office, be deposited in Il fire proof
room in Montpelier. These records
aud files are of inestimable value to
the State, and consist, he says, Of the
rosters of the organizations from this
State, in five large volumes, an alpha
betical index to the rosters, in two
volumes, eight volumes Of official cor
resnondence three volumes of records
Of orders, six volumes OF records OF
Town credits, the enlistment contracts
of nearly thirty thousand men, with
the corresponding description and for
wardlng rolls, the records of the re-
cruiting service, the muster-in rolls OF
all the organizations, of recruits, and
of officers promoted, the bi-monthly
muster and pay rolls of the several or

collection of important document
ought at once to be placed out of dan

Gen. Washburn has discharged th'
duties of his office with consummat
ability, as his reports abundant
prove The value of hisreports as work
of reference, containing as they do s.
much relative to the military histor
of Vermont during the bloody wa
just ended, can hardly be overestima
ed; and their value will increase 9
