OF the company and battery officers,

ing the rebellion:

Lieutenant Edwin III. Putnam, First
Connels. Second Lieut.. Thomas Ham
non, Second Lieut.. Benjamin F. Clay,
Fuller Battery.
The conduct of the men has, general
ly, been very good. There have been
few instances reported where some
young fellows away from home for the
first time, probably, have been guilty of
some dirty acts. There has been some
who has been here through the week,
said to the writer when so many men
are collected together some harsh play
and rough fun must be expected
but the men have been remarkably good
considering all. He said those who at
tended the musters of eight or ten years
ago would think this encampment was a
model one. He and his classmates in
college were not far behind these men in
disorderly conduct.
1t is said that the members of Fuller's
Battery were all gentlemen but probably
the same would be said of other compa-
MES could their men have beer distin-
guished as readily.
OF the drill and discipline of the troops
Generals Schotield, Blunt, Dalton and
other military men who have been pres
ent. say il has been excellent. The ar
mories of the various companies are
small. the brigade has but four days
drill yearly and the men have not the OPP
portunity the militia of some states have
for drill, their showing is therefore a re-
markable one and were they called into
the field il would be said as was said of
Vermont troops in the civil war ''they
carry thinking bayonets.'' The state
has reason to be proud of its soldiery.
We are under great obligations to the
Rutland Daily Herald for several histor-
ical sketches embodied in our report of
the Muster and it gives us great pleasure
to commend the genuine enterprise dis
played by this paper in the full daily re-
ports which il published of the Muster.
1t has made itself many friends in this
part of the State by its enterprise in this
matter. 1t was represented here by E.
II. Thomas, of its staff, assisted by Agar
Carleton of this place. Our report was
written by +. W. Rolfe, the Boston Globe
Special for Vermont and we feel proud
that it is the best of any weekly paper in
the State.
