Mr. Huntington is doing well, though
weak from loss of blood. The robbers
appear to have been in part, at least,
deserters from oar army.-One, named
Bart, a deserter from the 11th Vermont,
waa positively identified by a farmer
comrade, and two others are said to
have been recognized aa deserters from the
5th and 6th regiments. Two men were ar
retted in St. Albans Thursday, on suspicion
ol connection with the raid, and are retained

Judge Aldis tclegiapbcd from St. Johns
Friday afternoon: "We baie eleven men
under arrest in all and have recovered about
$73,000. Private dispatches say fourteen are

probably true."
Wc learn that another raider was taken
yesterday at CooV'a Comers, near Frelighs-

Never before has tne excitement been so gre it
in tbis section nf the oouBtry; and lb pres
ence of miliury from Burlington, Montpelier
nd Brattlenaro' is a silegnard of security. An
attempt was made by tbe marauders lo fee sev
eral of our bulldincs. An attempt waa made to
fire the American Hotel last night or raiher it
was diseovered after the villians had left, but
the re was extinguish.. This (Thursday)
morning, Mr. A I wood on attempting 10 open his
store found that a portion of it waa ignited with
phosphorus. Along our streets we cannot fill
to see the bullet boles. In front and on all sides
we obserte the attempts of the rebels to k.ll and
murder.
In the window of A. II. Munyan, are three or
four bullet boles to be seen; it was near this
point lhat C. II. Huntington receivdthw wound,
the shot being occasioned by his determined per
sistence lo stop the operation of th raiders.
We are glad to be able to say that Mr. Hunting
ton is likely to recover.
The appearance of the military here last eve
ning, commanded by Lt Col. Benton, somewhat
aided our citizens in preserving order; and the
orderly manner of tbe seldiris during the night
and to-day. attaches much credit to CoL Ben
Ion, JIaj. Barsfow, and Lieut. Burnett.
We are reliably informed that from sixty to
eighty thousand dollars of the money, taken by
the raiders from here yesterday, is in tbe hands
cf the Canadian authorities, awaiting the action

The " Confederate gentlemen." as the raiders

iill'gent and good looking men. Some cf them,
on taring arrtsied said that tbeir work was not
half accomplished, owiag to the ordera not be
ii'Sohejed They declared it was the'r deter,
venation to hum St. Albins, then to proceed to
Stanton and Sheldon and fire those placer, rab-b-ng
the banks at thesime time. The man who
gave hi name as Wallace, C M. , and wbo is
evidently one of the rinzleadtrs, has the appear
ance of bstnr a southerner. II is talk and
m inner indicated that he bis ssen service in the
Southera army. As to the perfect klentifijatioa
of many of tbe raiders thrre eaa ba no doutt.

' $i i.OOO of lhe itolea funds. Tbe bank ia do

, TIm Suffolk Bank of Ikstan takes the bills as
they come to their conn rer, which is proof enough
lhat they are ' all right." Should the bank
! rreoter 00 more of tbeir stolen funds, it is in
good condition; as the prudent mantzement of
it bad bud away nearly this amount as a sur
plus fund, for a wet nay. The Franklin County
11 wk has for tbe liaw saspeodej, and ordered
the SuiT .Ik Dank not to take their bill The
object ot this Is to make their bills worthless
for tbe time. But all honest hoMers of the bills
need not be alarmed, as tbey will be made good
in due coarse of time. The amount taken from
Ihe Fraakrn County Bank is brtwsea 70 and
5.000 92i.0OJ of which has, we learn, been
recovered. Tbe National Bank continues to do
bus ness, and no one need to have any hesitancy
about takmg their bills, which are. so to speak,
" as good the wheat."
There are only eleven of the raiders thus far
captured. Col. or Ctpt. Clyde, who assamra
liie leadership of the gang, keeps up the most
bratea effrontery. II declares thit he is a
Confederate officer, and that his orders came
from tarlj.
A Timely Order.
The following instruction issued by Lt.
Col. Benton, romtnandio? at StvAlban, in
new of n cent events are timely and judic
i jus, and nre a valuable here a there. We
commend them to tlie notice of our citizens,
cspcti illy those wbo bate enrolled tbemselres
for military service .
Tbe danger to t appreheisl.d is a srdden
dash and surprise. Accordingly the essential
point is to secure prompt action.
Te this end tbe citueas of all ths frontier
villages should have an orgvaizition, and be
prepared to act under recognized leaders.
Arms will beissued sufhiient to equip such
compinies. The arms so issued should cot be
krpt in any armory, or one place, for such ar
mory woull be the first place of attack, and the
arms so isiued would be used to defeat the pur
pose for which they are sent.
The moskcts should be d'sUrhutsl among the
members of tbe companies and kept at their sev
eral places of business w th the cquipmeats in
such position as can be put in use in the least
pts-tble time. Every member of the companies
should l personally instructed in patting on
his belt;, and prscticeJ till he can equip himself
in three seconds.
They should hare freqnent exercise in rallying
into line, so as to be able to get in order in the
1 . s poes.be time.
Too much pains cannot be taken to impress
upon the citizens the necessity of being in line
ween they meet the enemy Unlm they are
so, it is worss than useless to issue muskets, for
our own men are in as mush danger as tbe en
emy. Besides in line there is much less expo
sure. Properly organized, no pirty, however smill,
need have any fear of attacking the largest
parly of raiders, because they cannot stop to
hhr. They cannot know how many reserves
will corns up, and when resolutely attacked
must yield or run.
The chief obicct cf tha raiders is plunder, bnt
they cannot transport goods except jewelry. It
is not probable tbey could hare the means and
time to break open even a common safe if
the cities keep oa the alert.
The beat way for a msn to defend his store is
to unite with his neighbors and defend the who!
village. If every man stays at home, to.defecd
hia house, the result is the whole village ij taken
in detail, and the arms kept In tilt wayosly
strengthen tbe czcoy,

ceives a mmkfcC from "the govemmeet must pledge
himself to use. it ta sons regular organization,
and under command of proper ofloers. Bales
and instructions In regard to the t ait at arms
will be furnished by tbe Adjutant General.
It is to be understood that the crgaxu'zttioca
here eontempUtod, are only tin tha Legislature
makes other provision for tbe danger, bnt they
should be eumeieatly permanent to last till the
other action is provided, whenever that maybe.

The course taken by the Gicndian autho

larly gratifying. Gov. General Monek at
once ordered the police, and military lorce of
the adjoining counties to use all exertions to
eeciire the prompt arrest of the raiders, and,
as we are informed, has notified the Gover
nor that tbey will be at once delivered over
on bis n-i'iisition. Jltjir J. L Uirstow,
