recommendations of the Secretary tor an oi gaui11- ;

is commended to the serious attention of Congress.

oii point with it- coi ncctioiis. rot so bnckceyed as
most others, lo which I ask a bnei attention, it is
the .fort to place tapi'alonan citial iootmgwi.h.
if not above, labor, in the strucuie ol goverument.
It i assumed that labor is avoidable only iu con
nection with capital; that nobody; labor unless
somcbodv el-e. owning capital, some how. by the use
of it ii duci s h m to labor. 1 his assumed, it is next
considered whether it is be-st that capital shall hire
laborers end tlus induce iheroto work by their own
Lonntit, or bind them or drive them lo it without
tiitirtOLCt.,t. Having proceeded so tar it is natur
ally concluded that alllaborers are either lured ia
laborers, or, what we ca.l slavis; and lurtber. ins
assumed that whoever is once a hired laborer is fixed
in ttat condition ol life. .Now tiitie is no such la
bor as pssuoied, nor is there any such thing as a
fieinian btiKg nxed tortile in the condition ol a
t ed hbottr. Both of these assumptions are false
and all ialerences from them are gr undless Labor
i- t rior to, tnd independent of, capital Capital I
only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed
if labor bad Dot tirst existed.
l abor is tbe supnor ot capital, and deserves
ir. tub tbe hkber consideration. Capital has ijs
riiihis which are as wor ihy of protection a aoy o th
trrishts. or is it denied that there is, and proba
te. t.wa8 will be. relation between labor and
canittl. ijoducing mutual beixtits. The error is
in assiining that the wbole labor of a lew men who
ovn cspital. and .bat tew avoid labor tht-tnseves
sua v ith their capital bite or buy other lew to labor
lor them, and a larie m.-jori'y btlcnp to neuher

working for them. . .

are drilled mostly m skn mishir.-i an 1 tv the
sound ot the huL-le. The Ijys are in line

ne.ss. The ST'Oo jrer mon'.h nraiited hy the
State pevemment had a very l'avor'ole ef
fect on the eoiiitiany, judtiins; l'roni th- cheers,
"iven tor the (JoverLor and State Legisla
ture. The reatest misfortune we have met with
is the ioss of our Lieut. Col. Frederick Mean,.
who resigned his position a few davs since.
Il- was a thotoiifh soldier, verv strict, and
iniifht be called a severe
discinli
but
durin" the short time he n-as here won the
hearts of every soldier in tne regiment, has
drilled for service eleven thousand men dur
ing the present war.
'Yesterday was. Thanksgiving and of course
no drill. In the morning we attended divine
service, the remainder of the day the Col.
informed us might be spent in target prac
tice, and as an inducement for sharp shoot
ing offered a purse of 5 00 to the one who
wou?d make the shortest string at the distance
of forty rods, off hand, each having two
shots. "At three o'clock the trial began, and
continued until dark when it was decided
that A. J. Brown of the Vermont companj
had won the purse. So you see the Green
Mountain boys are second to cone in point of
sharp fchooting. Some companies procured
oysters for supper, and all endeavored to
make it neem as much like Thanksgiving jit
Lome as possible. 'Sr-vk
Good health is universal in the Regiment.;
we have none on the sick list. Whether we
shall o into winter quarteis near Washing
ton isa question of no little importance to
us all are very anxioua to get over the river
into the land of secesh. There are a num
ber of regiments building winter quartern
arcund the city and all seem dissatisfiedj at
the idea. Yours truly,
