" hat a western soldier SAYS OF

4 correspondent of the Springfield
Mass Republican says:
yesterday enjoyed the pleasure Of Al
long conversation with Il gentleman who
was with Con Grant from the time ut hi,
entering the service in the late war until
he wa, ordered East to take command lis
Lieutcnunt-Gencral Ny informcr was a
member of the Eleventh Illinois. which
came under Gen Grants command late
in the Fall of 1851 But long before that
the General, then Brigadicr, was a famil-
lar parsonage to the Eleventh. for its
colonel. W. II. Wallace. who t,ll at Shi-
loh, had been Il close friend Of Grants
III Mexico, and the intimacy was still
maintained The Eleventh was stationed
at Birds Point, No, while Grant held
command at Cairo, directly opposite.
When the Eleventh, which had been OPP
Grating under Oglesby, was attached to
Grants command, that officer was about
as unpopular as he well could be the
, troops were new to the actualities of war.
and the slaughter at Belmont made a
deep impression on them; they believed
that Grant fought that battle on his own
judgment, and they were unable to see
that any advantage had been derived
from it.
Soon after, the first Fort Henry cxpedi-
ton was planned in perfect secresy; its
success turned the tide of opinion III
Grants favor, and when, three months
later, Donelson surrendered, my inform
ant says there was not soldier in the
army who had not perfect confidence in

Some weeks later he joined his regiment.
and was assigned to duty in the Office of
the Adjutant-Gencral, John A. Rawlins.
Here, for several months he saw Grant
daily. But, said he, "a man might see
him every day for years, and still know
very little about him. II was the feeling
among the troops that they did not know
Grant-could not get acquainted with
him-but their faith in him was unuuali-
fed, Notwithstanding. l asked my in
tormant if he ever saw any indication of
lntemperance in the General. He replied
that he never saw him drink, and never
saw him when he seemed to have been
drinking.

said he had seen him almost every day for

slightest sign of intemperance.' Rawlins

still Another Fire.

About $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning
fire was discovered in the building on
Furnace street owned ny the Rutland
Foundry and Machine shop Company
and occupied byJ. W, King as planning
mill and sash and blind factory. Tn,
alarm was quickly'given, and citizens and
fremen were promptly out 10 aid in quel-
ling the flames and though the planning
mill was destroyed, with large portion
of the machinery and tools owned by Mr..
King, good service was rendered by the
fire department in saving property in
course Of manufacture, TO n considerable
amount. from the burning building, and
also in saving lumber which was piled in
large quantities in close proximity 10 the
fire, The force pump of the Rutland Il
Burlington Railroad machine shop again
covered itself with glory" its stream be-
ing the first upon the fire, and obtaining
its supply of water from the compauy's
reservoir, did more than both of the hand
engines combined, though they were
worked TO their full capacity, in drench-
ing the building and protecting the ad-
joining one, that used by the Rutland
Foundry and Machine shop Company in
the transaction of its business.
The fire originated in the boiler room
of Mr. Kings establishment, where fire
had been kindled about $50 o'clock by
the engineer Mr.. Thomas Lynch, who
was, at the time of the alarm, absent from
the building, at breakfast 1t is supposed
that coal dropped from the furnace to the
floor of the room, igniting pile of shay
ings near by, passing over which it swept
through the engine room and into the
planning mill, which, as we have said, was
completely destroyed before the flames
were suiugated.
The loss Of Mr.. King in the building
is from 50 800 to $1,000, which is covered
10y insurance in the Phoenix and Norwich
companies, through I. c. Potter, and in
the Springfield Company, through Prindle
X Burnham. Mr.. h also loses about
$500, by the burning of lumber which
was piled in the yard near his shop, on
which there was no insurance The loss
Of the Rutland Foundry and Machine
Shop Company on building is nearly
$1,000, which is covered 10y insurance in
companies represented here by Prindle Il
Burnham. \ few others, who had work
in course OF manufacture at the shop, are
losers by this fire, though to an inconsid-
cradle extent in each ease

which a copper oaskot had been nicely fit

was the grandson Of Freewill Baptists,
and that he pursued most Of his prcpara-
tory course in fitting for college under the
instruction of the Rev. Hosea Quinby, at
what is now lapham Institute in Rhode
Island. lie said the Frccwill Baptists Of
Vermont were doing good thing for
themselves in establishing a school in
which 20 educate their own sons and
daughters; that it was a good thing for
Vermont, rs the people Of the State paid
for educational purposes to institutions in
other States nearly half million OF
money annually; that this was disad-
vantage TO the State pecuniarily. that
there was something in the sterling old
Vermont character which the State could
not afford 10 lose :--shat Vermont had a
character of her own, which, if the youths
OF the State were educated in other States,
would in a measure be lost, and for the
honor OF Vermont We could not afford it
