Romance in Vermont Camp during the
late Rebellion.

Three brothers enlisted in one Of our Yer.
mont regiments to serve tire, years. Suisse
quently they were all promoted, for gallant
and meritorious conduct in the field. Two Of
them received commissions as officers and the
third, sergeant's warrant. The talest brother
lost an arm in front Of Richmond, and the
shortest was wounded in the foot taken prison.
er by the enemy, subsequently exchanged and
returned TO his command, where he served out
his time and received an honorable discharge.
While the 9th army corps was encamped in
winter quarters near Bell Plain, Va, in the
year 1868, an order was issued to commanding
officers of regiments to draw clothing for their
commands. The sergeant above alluded TO,
found attached TO one of the garments which
he received a small slip of paper, on which
was written in neat and lady like hand, "Mss
Carrie Montieth, Romancevile, Ontario Coun-
~ N. Y" This was considered by the gallant
sergeant as q challenge to open a correspond
ence. The young man who had faced the can.
mons mouth on many well fought field of
battle, nothing daun,ed accepted the challenge,
and Immediately sent his first epstle TO the
fair writer. In due time il was answered by
the lovely recipient, and long correspondence
ensued. Subsequently photographs were ex-
changed, and each was delighted with the
shadow Of the other. The correspondence was
continued until the expiration Of the sergeaut's
term Of service, and soon after his former COM
mander received the following note:
