qualifications fixed by the laws Of the State, and
therefore the white population only are called

ROMANCE IN A VERMONT CAMP DU

RING THE LATE REBELLIt
Three Brothers enlisted in one of our Yer
mont regiments, to serve three years. Sub.
sequenily they were all promoted, for gallant
and meritoTious conduct in the field. Two
of them received commissions as Ulcers and
the third, sergesnt's warrant. The tallest
brother lost an arm in front of Richmond, and
the shortest was wounded in the foot, taken
prisoner by the enemy, subsequently exchang-
ed and returned to his command, where he
served out his lime and received an honorable
discharge.
While the 9th army corps was encamped in
winter quarters near Bell Plain, Va, in the
year 1858, an order was issued to command
ing officers OF regiments to draw clothing for
their commands. The sergeant, above alluded
to, found attached to one of the garments
which he received small slip of paper, on
which was written in neat and lady like hand
Miss Carrie Montieth, Romanceyille, Onta-
rio County, N. Y" This was considered by
the gallant sergeant as challenge to open a
correspondence. The young man who had
faced the lannon's mouth on many we'll
fought field Of battle, nothing dauated, accept
ed the challenge, and Immediately seat his
first epistle to the fair writer. IN due time it
was answered by the lovely recipient, and a
long correspondence ensued. Subsequently
photographs were exchanged, and each was
delighted with the shadow Of the other. The
correspondence was continued until the expi-
ration Of the sergeant's term OF service, and
soon after his former commander received the
following note;
