THE RUTLAND WEEKLY HEItALD : THURSDAY MAY 16, 18G1.
THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 16.
APOLOGY.
We owe an apology to our Daily patrons
for the lack of news in oar this morning's
edition of the Daily, and particularly to those
who did not receive the paper at all. When
the forms were nearly ready for the press the
page containing most of the reading matter
was unfortunately knocked into " pi," and
we had to make up our paper as best we
could. This also so put us back that we
could not get out our paper in season for
the trains, and will account lor their non-ar
rival. We exceedingly regret the circum
stance, but "accidents will sometimes happen
in the best regulated families."
HEAD DRESS FOR SOLDIERS.
The following letter has been received by
Gen. Baxter, and is published for information
to the friends of the First Regiment of Ver
mont volunteers that have been mustered
nto the service of the United States for three
months, and also the 21 and 3d Regiment
that soon will be, for three years. A speci
men " llavelock " cap-cover can be seen at
the office of Gen. Baxter, in this town, or will
be sent to any association of ladies who
apply for one.
New York, May 10, 1861.
To II. Henry Baxtkr,
Atft and Inspector General,
Sin : In an article in the New York
Times of the 6th inst., hereto subjoined, with
gome auditions, you wnl find certain particu
lars in respect to the " Havelock " cap
coverer, for protecting troops serving in warm
climates from the lieat of the sun, which may
interest you.
The details are mainly derived from the
ladies of an association, recently formed in
this city for the purpose of supplying this
protection to our troops, of which several of
my relatives and friends are members.
I yield, not less to their request than my
own inclinations, in respectfully suggesting
to your consideration the expediency of
ibrming similar Associations, without delay
for furnishing similar protection to such por
tions of the troops as your portion of the
country has sent or may hereafter send to the
war.
Believing that the ladies of your vicinity
will gladly unite in any effort to lessen tbe
sufferings of the patriot soldiers defending in
the field the highest interests of the country,
I subscribe myself, with much respect,
Faithfully your friend and servant,
Samcel B. Ruggles.
The following is taken from the New York
Times of May 1861.
PROTECTION OF THE TROOPS
V ROM S UN-STROKE.
We are indebted for the following impor
tant communication, to the Hon II. B. Ru"
gle, who has a son serving in the Seventh
Regiment,
Experience has shown, that troops serving
in warm climates greatly need protection
from sun-stroke, often quite as dangerous and
fatal as the fire of the enemy.
The provident care and' foresight of the
British officers, in the recent campaigns in
India and in the Crimea, protected their sol
diers from the danger by thick, white linen
cap-covers, having a cape protecting tht hack
of thi: iitck. which reflects instead of absorb
ing the heat ot the sun.
They were also extensively worn by the
French troops in the campaign ot Solferino.
They derive their name, " Havelock," from
being worn by the soldiers under his com
mand in defending Lucknow against the Se
poys. The region in and around Washington,
say from latitude 37 degrees to 40 minutes,
in which, our trcops may soon take the field,
has an average temperature quite as high as
that of Lombatdy or of the Crimea, in lati
tude 45 degrees.
An exact pattern of the cap-cover used in
the Crimea was furnished last week by a
British officer, to an association of patriotic la
dies in this city, who have already completed
one thousand tor the use of one of our Regi
ments at Washington.
Another association of ladies has since en
tered on a similar labor of love, to supply a
like number to another Regiment.
We trust that these examples may be fol
lowed, without delay, until all our troops
shall be protected from needlers exposure
and hardship on the scorching plains of the
South.
The materia! ami pattern of the covers sent
to those two Regiments have been submitted
to and approved by military officers high in
command.
There is no difficulty or delay in forward
ing these cap-cover to the Regiments. A
traveling-trunk of ordinary size will hold at
least iifht hundred, and can be sent by ex
press in twenty-lour hours. To avoid delay,
(now very important.) ii should be sent di
rectly to the Colonel or Regimental Quarter
Master. About titty covers can be made from a
picce'of linen ot' twenty-three yards, costing
about thirty cents per yard.
The covers should be cut to suit the size
tnd shape of the particular cap worn by the
Raiment.
Aouisos Jo e n i t Front gentlemen from
different parts of this county, we learn that the
patriotic feeling to sustain the Government at
Washington, is growing stronger, and taking
deeper hold of the citizsns every day. They are
calmly and deliberately deciding the question of
duty to our government, not only for themselves
hut for their posterity.'
Henry S. Fooil. Atorney at Law, Mid
dlebury, has been appointed Register of tho Fro
hate Court far the District of Addison.
Geu. Harney on Tuesday published an ad
dress to the people of Missouri, exposing the
secession principles of the troops captured a
Camp Jackson, and declaring that the whole
power of the United States government will
be exerted to keep Missouri in the Union ;
and no subterfuges whatever, in the form of
legislature acts, will be permitted to harass
be law-abidini citixens.
Events in Baltimore. Prior to Issuing
his proclamation on Tuesday afternoon, Gen.
Butler had a long interview with the Mayor
and several members of the City Council! of
Baltimore. He made a formal demand for
arms in their possession, After some alterca
tion with Marshal Kane, they were surren
ered, upon an order from the Mayor. There
were about fifteen dray-loads, two-thirds be
ing fire-arms, such as carbines, muskets, etc.
and a large quantity of pikes. Guards of
federal troops were plaoed over them. Tur
bulent men and boys followed, yelling and
hooting a portion of the distance to Federal
Hill. Some were armed with T,istols and ev
idently desired to commit violence, but were
restrained by the police. A large crowd of
Union men also followed, cheering heartily for
the troops.
The arms surrendered to Gen Butler were
taken at Gittings' war-house, so called, and
consisted ot 2200 muskets and 1000 pikes,
the latter having been manufactured for the
city by Winans.
A large and enthusiastic Union meeting
was held Tuesday evening in the eastern sec
tion of the city. About 7000 were present.
Gen. Butler and stall dined in Baltimore
Tuesday, every courtesy being extended to
them.
We learn that Gen. Hofkims, of Rutland
has tendered his services for the next Vermont
Regiment. Gen. Hopkins has had a long ex
erience in the details of military affairs, and we
know of no man now in our State mora deser
ving of consideration. From his practice, study
and experience ; having drilled as Adj. General,
Vermont troops in former years, he has an ad
vantage of all others that we know of unlets it
is that his health and unfortunate deafness, at
the present time, may weaken his chances in the
patriotic desire which he now expresses. We
hope, however, that this may not prevent his
getting such a position as he really deserves
and which would be acceptable to himself. Ko
is now engaged in drilling companies.
It is not improbable that the federal troops
will march from Wheeling to Martinsbjrgh,
Va., and take Harper's Ferry in the rear.
FROM WASHINGTON.
(Correspondence of tbe Rutland Herald.)
Washington, May, 12th, 1861.
And at the time of the end shall the King of
the South push at him; and the Kng of tbe
North shall come against him like a whirlwind,
with chariots, and with horsemen, and with ships;
and shall overflow and pass over. Daniel 1 1 ch.
4o vs.
The present state of oar National affairs is
strangely suggestive of the fulfillment of the
prophecy of Daniel found in the chapter above
alluded to. Indeed, who shall say that this is
not the very time and place, and the the cir
cumstances to which the prophet referred.
If this be true, then we have the best evidence
in the world that Jeff. Davis L Co., " the great
King of the South," " shall come to his end, and
none shall help him." However this maybe,
events are daily making it more and more evi
dent that the armies of the North and South will
soon meet, issue to issue, in mortal combat, the
one to apold and sustain in iu integnty, the oth
er to destroy, the best government the eye of
man ever gazed upon .
Before this reaches you it is very possible that
the wires will announce the commencement of
hostilities between the troops under Gen. Bailer's
command, numbering about 2000, at the Relay
House, 9 miles south o f Baltimore , and the con
federate army stationed at Harper's Ferry.
I was informed by a Gov. messenger who left
here yesterday afternooa, that an advanced
guard of confederates, numbering abont 123
were known to be within 25 miles of oar forces
and coming forward. Gen. Butler was at An
apolis on a sick bed, and this gentleman came
down lor a few companies of cavalry and an of
ficer to take the command. I have obtained no
reliable information from there to-day.
It is well known to the Gov. here that there is
a well armed secret organization of secession
troops, numbering 400. or more, ia Baltimore, j
who are supposed to be acting la concert with
the rebe'.3 at Harper's Ferry, who wiil go to their
assistance as soon as the first blow is struck. I
The troops at the Relay House are the M.is I
6th., Col. .Tones, who have once mc: a Baltimore
mob, the N. V. 8ih , CjI. Lyon, and a part of ;
another regiment, including the Bjston Light
Artillery with six pieces. Besides they have the
captnred Winans steam gun, mounted on a
bridge, and good engineers who aro rapidly per
fecting themselves in its use.
Their position is described as very strong, and
I have no doubt they will give a good account
cf themselves if attacked. Altdsugh troops
have recently been allowed to pass qui tly thro'
Baltimore, and were even cheered a3 they passed
along, I am satisfied that there is really no
change of feeling in that city. They submit on
ly in deference to the guns of Fort McHenry,
which are all turned directly on the city. These
euns present arguments against which they do
not like o contend.
We have now about 30000 troops in this cjty,
and all are confident that this force is sufficient
to hold it against any attack that can be trjade.
The troops are all in fine condition an d spirits
and are impatient for hostiiites to commence.
There aro quite a number of Vermontcrs here
in the different regiments, and I am happy to
say they are all joung men who will honorably
sustain the reputation of the Green Mountain
Boys .
In one of our city voluntees companies may
be found a son of Gov. Blade, acting eta a pri
vate. I am gratified to see so many flattering noti
cos of t.ie 1st Reg. Vt Volunteers. Gen. Nye,
of N. Y., who saw them in that city, and who
has seen all the troops here , remarked that they
ware the beet regiment ho had yet seen.

In consequence of more important public af
fairs engaging tho attention of the heads of de
partments, no pergonal applications for appoint
ments are entertainei. Owing to this arrange
ment the departments are now free from inter
ruption by place hunters.
Gen. Thomas says he has administered the
cath to some 15,000 and won'd consider 30 as a
large margin for the whole number who had re
fused, lie believed in no instance did a refusal
originate in disloyality to the Union. The rea
sons most generally given by the parties them
selves was that the Municipal authorities of
cities from which they came had promised to
provide for ttieir families, and had no: done so.
Kaltimore, Mar lath.
Gov. Hicks replies to Mayor Brown's charge
that he authorize the destruction of the
bridges.
He dei ies the charge, and says that if the
Mayor's communieat on and accompanying cer
tificates bas induced any person to doubt his
true position in the premises, be respectfully
asks a suspension of judgment until a sufficient
time be offered him to collect necessary proof
und show asj he shall be able to do, most con
clusively, tpat the destruction of the bridges was
a part of jthfe conspiracy of those acting against
the Government, and was known and proclaim
ed in other parts of the Stnte bef,re the destruc
tion was! consummated. But any person who
knows hjs opinion of Gerrge P.Kane and Enoch
L. Lowe, wiil at once admit that he would bs
very slow to ssent to any proposition emanating
from, and endorsed by them. Their introdac
lion iniol his chamber at a late hour of the night
to urge bis consent to the prepetration of an on
lawful act, was not calculated to convince him
of th propriety or necessity of that act. Men
do not rejadily take counsel of their enemies.
