powered on every side. Hardly .did they
stop to engage one body of our forces be
fore they were assailed on the ..flank by
the bullets or shells of another. Our
three divisions ndvanced about equally on
the place. Kilpatrick's occupied the ex
treme left of the line, and our regiment
was on his leftank. .' Keeping Rtill fur
ther to the left, as if to pass to that side
of the town, "as if to cut off a train ofj
cars which;' were in fuH view at tfcc de
potwe got " mixed with ditches andj
streams that we could not cross, and, I
turmngt) the right, advanced directly on
the town. As we crossed the stream we
met two captured guns coming down from
further to' the right As soon as we got
up the river bank the order came to
charge. And the 1st Vermout did charge
through the town in advance of every
thing else, taking a gun frpm the retreat
ing rebels on the other si !e. The car
bineers were here deployed as skirmish
tra ; the remainder were too few to charge
without support on what was before us.
Soon the support came, this time on our
left, and in they went. . In the woods on
the rising ground before us, the rebels
made a short ttand, and here our regi
ment did its hardest fighting, and met its
losses.
The contest here over, and the enemy
again in retreat, the 1st Vermont was
drawn up in line and left to rest. The
town was ours. Adjt. Gates, who went
into the contest heroically, was taken
prisouer, being overpowered by numbers
in a personal hand-to-hand contest. John
Henry, of Co. B. was shot dead, and was
buried near where lie fell. Sergt. A.
R, Haswcll. of Co. G. Frank A. Russell,
of Co. 1. and Monroe Lyford, of -Co. C,
were wounded.
-After resting a short time we moved off.
and. oor brigade encamped at the foot of
Slaughter Mountain. So the day endod.
Next morning we advanced and reached
the Rapidan in the vicinity of Raccoon
Ford. Here we were obliged to advance
over a considerable plain, while the rebels
held a fine position on the heights which
rose abruptly from the opposite bank.
Twice our regiment advanced, intending
to cross and charge the works on the oth
er sidei but both times the order was
countermanded. . '..'.,.
i That night and the next day we all lay
within easy range of the rebel guns, with
only the protection afforded by old build
ings, or slight inequalities in the ground.
Though we were practiced upon from the
hills Opposite, both with .cannon and ri
lies, fortunately no one was hurt. On the
night of the 10th, we were relieved, hav.
ing been three days under the continuous
fire of the rebels.' , ; y
Gen. Custer was wounded at Culpepper
and obtained leave of absence. When
Col. Sawyer' returned from Washington,
where b'uisness' called nini 'just 'before wo

poor health, the command of the regiment
devolves on the' senior Major. Two rogi

on the Rappahannock, Ours was one of
them ; and the 18th found us once more

situation. ..t , ,

The war department are taking mens- tities of excellent bread which has been
ures to fill up and keep full the ranks of offered for their inspection and tho numer

bis country can annlv to them ; and if
thought to be acceptable, they will be fur-

the service.
The officers appointed for this county
arc C. F. Djouglus, Stowe ; Charles JJut
ton. Hyde Park; 11 F. Parker, Wolcott,
and Levi L. Smith, Cambridge. . .
It is now a good time to cuter the ar
my, as the heat of summer is passed, and
there will be less liability to contract dis
ease; the forecs of. tho Union are meeting
with success in nearly every point, and
there is little probability that those who
enlist now will be obliged to serve their
full lime, as it may reasonably be hoped
that in much less than three years, the
rebellion will be silenced, and all our sol
diers who escape tho dangers of the field,
can rcturu home. With bow much pride,
then, can all who have risked their life in
bringing peace, look back upon the part
they have taken in the struggle. It is
a good time to enlist.
Caught. Charles Clarence, who claims
to be a discharged Indiana soldier, was
arrested a few days Bince in Troy, by
Messrs. W. C. t)oane and Alex Riddle of
Johnson, on a chargo of stealing a horse
from Oliver Allen, of Johnson, aud a
watch from a Mr. Baker, Mr. Allen's
hostler. He came to Mr. Allen's about
a week previous, and had been stopping
there doing chores, &c and on the morn
ing he committed tho theft, having wash
ed Mr. Allen's waggon, he obtained the
key to the bar, and stole tho watch, and
immediately sold it to II. A. Daniels for
$2. He then obtained the loan of Mr.
Allen's horse for a short time. Soon af
ter hia departure, tho story of the watch
got out, and suspicion being raised that
iu relation to the horse all was not right,
pursuit was made, and he was caught,
and is now in tbe caro of the Col. at the
county boarding house.
There is a report that Morrisvillc
people are stirring in relation to building

Since writing the above, we have been
informed that one of the churches is ex

SOME APPLE TREES.
Being a little partial to my native State,
I took the measurement of an apple-tree
standing upon the farm and near the house
of Dca. Oliver Carpenter, in Brattleboro.
It measures at the ground 13 fect and 10
inches in circumference, with scarcely any
perccptable variation in the trunk for five
feet, and there 's only 1 foot and 4 inches
.liilornnpp in I nn pi rpnm rprnnpp l.jrktitl Till I
body, straight and handsome. Then
there are three branches the first meas
ures, about one foot from the tree, 8 feet
and 1 inch in circumference; the next, 7
feet and 3 inches ; and the third, 5 feet
and 3 inches. All splendid and beautiful
to the eye, and are admired by all the
lovera of the beauty of nature, that be
hold it pointing and rising upward, until
it reaches about 40 feet, extending its
branches some two rods each way, and
was, when I saw it last. (Oct. 1st) as green
as in June, while all the other trees were
losing their beauty, giving unmistakable
evidence that although it has stood the
blasts of a hundred winters, it is good
for as many more if Old Time rolls on.
. With proper grafting, it might bear a
hundred bushels per year. Last year it
bore 20 bushels. I thought as the apples
dropped and passed my head some 20 ft.
from the ground, and heard them strike,
that I would not like to have them hit my
head, if they were not as large as pump
kins. .
A pig-wced grew upon tho farm of Rev.
J. G. Bennett, in Brattleboro, thatagrcat
many. birds of. the air might lodge in the
branches thereof.. Said weed measured 8
feet, 2 1-2 inches in height, and 1 1-2
inch in diameter. , ,

THE PUOSPECT IX TENNESSEE.
Chattanooga is now the center of chief
military interest, aud must soon be a cen
ter of the most important action. Great
armies are being collected there, and tbe
unfinished battle of the Chicamaiga will
soon bo renewed. Largo reinforcements
arc now undoubtedly on the way to Rose
crans. On Monday of last week Gen.
Lee telegraphed to Jeff Davis that the
eleventh and twelfth corps of the I'oto
mao had been sent to reinforce Rosccrans,
and we suspect he was pretty accurately
informed. ' The Washington correspond
ent of the Portland Press disclosed the
fact some days ago. An Indianapolis
letter of Tcusday last, mentioned the ar
rival of twenty thousand troops from the
East on the way to Rosecrans, doubtless
a portion of the troops mentioned. The
report at Indianapolis was, that Gen.
Hooker would command them. A letter
from Memphis of the 2Gtli ult.,' stated
that Gen. Sherman with a large force was
on his way up the river, and his advance
disembarked at Memphis at that date.
It was supposed they would go by rail to
Decatur, Alabama, and thence march
across the country, which will be a long,
hazardous and difficult journey, and it
will be some time yet before they can
reach Chattanooga. But it is satisfactory
to be assured that reinforcements are on
the way to Rosccrans, and that a retreat
to Nashville is not intended, and will not
probably be necessary, though the rebel
chiefs at Richmond have determined to
compel it if they can.
It is evident that although tho rebels
move on interior lines, the government
can send men to Tennessee quite as fast

Robbed. On Sunday last Mr. G. W
Stowell of Jay, was robbed of sixty dol.
lars by a man named Welch and another
Frenchman. It appears Mr. Stowcll had
engaged these men to remove his family
and effects from Jay to Newport' and
while on their way thither Mr. S. made
sundry "pulls" at a black bottle with
which he-was armed. in plain English
he became intoxicated, and while in this
condition was lelieved of his money.
The next day, having recovered his intel
lect, Mr. S. discovered his loss, and imme
diately started to overtake the men. In
Lowell they had disposed of a portion of
the money, (all 1 0s on the Wells River
Bank.)Sheriffs Kendall of Troy.and Dodge
of Lowell are on their track, and will
doubtless, overtake them. Welch is an
old offender, and was released from jail
