rHrdefark, Wednesday, April SO, 1861.
fiThe editor erf the Irasburgh Standard
has recently made a visit to the army of
the, Potomac. .We copy the following
frcm his account of his visit: ., ...
. Wo found the health of the boys to
be generally speaking, remarkably, good.
In the hospital of the fourth regiment,
there were hut six cases and most of these
were from measles ; alj were doing well.
and having the attention of an excellent
physician from the 49th New. orl, wtio
takes the place ot.Djr. Bixby who is now
in Vermout as the -boys express the hope
on a " lone furlough." There are a few
cases however not in the .hospital which
can be ns well served in their tents as at
the hospital. : These are generally rhou
matics. ; For this complaint the weather
in winter and tne tents which the boys
occupy "are very poorly calculated to af
ford any sort. of relief ; and the patient
has only to "grin and bear it as phi
losophically as haisablo till, warmer and
dryer wpather. As to the exact number
of sick iu.thc hospitals of the. other regi
nieuts we did not enquire, but we were in
formed that the number was very small.
Wc fouud the hospitals much more com.
fortable than wc had supposed, and there
is this in their favor that people at home
do not think of:, one who is accustomed
to live out of doors and rough it every
day, living . almost entirely id the opeu
air, will noti suffer that inconvenience
when, placed in -a tent hospital that would
' beiet a citizen. A soldier is not so lia
ble to take cold in a tent hospital where
.there is a moderate circulation of pure
air, as he-would bo to be transferred from
the ' field to a wmro , house and ' close air.
To prove their excellence 'we have only to
add that the sick of tho regimental hos
pitals always get along better than those
of the general hospitals where they are
enclosed with walls of wood. We make
- these remarks to ease the fears of those
who may have frieds in one of these field
hospitals." - 1
r. ,. RECEPTION OF THE EIGHTH.
; Quite a number of the members of,
the 8th llegiment, belonging in this coun
ty came into this village Monday . after
noon among them, Capt. M. McFarlaud
of Waterville. ; The captain is leoking
well, and seemed quite glad to see his
friends again. . ., ,
The following in relation to the recep
tion of . the regiment in Montpelier,
we find in Waltm's Daily ;
,The announcement that. the ro-cnlisted
Veteraus of the ,8th Vermont Regiment,
, ioiHO 400 in number, would reach Mont
pelier on the mail train Saturday after
noon, April 16th, diew many strangers
to town, but unfortunatly the detention of
the train until .near o'clock 'precluded
many from participating in the demon,
etration. , ; ;, ". ;:,
? .'The, arrival of the train at NortLCeld,
bearing these brave defenders, was loudly
signalled by the ringing of bell and ere
the , train arrived a multitude of people
(warmed the depot and ruilroad grounds,
who loudly cheered as the train rested.
The officers were waited .upon by , the
Committee of Arrangements and orders
were given and the regiment immediately
forme..! and was piloted to the Common
where bonfires were, kindled and with the
kegimeuti drawu up in line, Charles Reed,
front the balcony of the Pavilion, in be
half, of the people : welcomed the officers
and soldiers to the capitol in thefollowing
peeclu' -.!.: .-' j , ,U
"Cok. Thomas, officers and soldiers of the
' Sth Vt. Regiment'. .i: ; : . ,-,
-t; For all our fellow citizens, I bid you
welcome to the Capital of your Stato. .
Somo two ycurs. ugo,' when .traitor
with 1 perjury on their lips, and blood on
their hun is, had assailed bur national
flag, you,' all untiied in the arts of war,
left quiet anr peaceful- homes in Vermont
to defend outfational Government and
protect our Nalioual Union? now, you re
turn to us the skilled and veteran soldiers
t the Department" f the Gulf,' wit a
reputation for bravery and good conduct
as wide as our land, and with the ever
memorable words wordB thatho history
of the gallantry of Vermonters will not!
let die i Cotton Bisukd Port Htjdsoit
inscrihcd.'on : the war-rent banner of
your Rcgi.racut. There words remind
you, and tell us, of the battles you have
fought and won ; of the whistling shot
and the screaming shell, and of the bay
onetlchargc of brave, determined Vermont
men. .
Almost" thousands of miles off, Ver:
mont has watched you in all your bril- j
liant and dangerous serricc, and whon :
your shout of victory went up,: all Ver
mont shouted with you. But our hearts
swell .with peculiar pride when we can
thus greet our personal friends, our neigh
bor.s and our brothers, as tried and-veteran
soldiers of tho Republic, and thank
them for their services to their country.
And 1 but utter the speech of every soul
in this crowd that" throngs around us
when I say ; Gallant Veteran Soldiers,
Welcome Home!' ' ', '. '"' '.' 1
But this war is not vet ended. Firm
us our hills in your determination to save
our Government from disunion and de
struction, and to overthrow n most wicked
rebellion, you have rc-enlistcd for this
great service; and before many months
may you again return to us, when our
starry flag shall, wave over our whole
country re-united and at peace, and free,
again to receive our thanks and our bles
sing." 1 . '
Col. Thomas replied in a short patri
otic speech thanking tho people for their
hospitality and expressions of kind re
gafd and referred with pride to the con
duct of his men through tho fierce con
tests which proved their courage, and al-.
luded to their still fixed determination to'
see this accursed rebellion " wiped out,"
and appealed to the masses to join hands
withthese veterans in their return and
avenge the cry from Fort Pillow.
Wc hope to give tho speech complete
in our next edition.
The regiment then proceeded to Wash
ington Hall where tables had beru Jboun
tifully spread and decorated by Boutwell,
of the Pavilion, Nowcomb, of the Ameri
can House and Burnham of the Mont
pelier Hotel. To, make mention of the
thorough manner in which the tables
were laid, or the superior quality of the
food, is unnecessary, as the ability of ci
ther of these popular "hosts" is beyond
dispute and the satisfaction it gave the
the weary and hungry soldiers fully at
tested that they "can't be beat
. After supper, tho original regimental
band, 14 pieces, led by Aug. Haenal, a
nativo of New Orleans, discoursed some
splendid sweet musio which thrilled the
soul of every listener . and drew .forth
cheer upon cheer for the accomplished mu
sieians. Col. Thomas announced a telegram
from His Excellency Governor Smith,
welcoming these patriots to. their native
Stato and regretting his , inability to
be present and receive them personally.
Wheroupou Col. Thomas paid an elo
quent. and just tribute to the Governor in
tcrms that called out threo hearty cheers,
as being a firm and zealous friend of the
soldier aud advocates an extra bounty to
re-enlistcd men; '','.
Cheers were also given for the Capitol,
and the Ladies of Montpelier, when at a
late hour, the tables were cleared, the
crowd withdrew and the men went into
quarters. t v ,;.,... : j

US Butter, we are glad to learni' is1

afford to cat beaf steak and butter toast
when they are both so enormously" highi
By the way, do -people generally know
that they can live just as happily, a'ud a
great deal more healthfully without either?
Do they know how delicious a piece of dry
bread really is when taken clear? "Does
any man really suppose, he would starve
on such food ? and doos any one,, pretend
to say that it does not contain all rhe
propertujs'nccesaary to support life, and
keep the body vigorous and healthful, ifi
to it is added a limited supply of good
fruit? Why5 then do we so readily ac
knowledge our slavery to appetite, and so
willingly submit to the yoke which habit
and the customs of society have placed
upon us? I'oeB any one suppose that it
is absolutely neoessary, in order to his
well-being, that he ha've a supply of steak
at fifteen or twenty cents per pound ?
Does notra well-cooked, good potato, with
out butter or salt, or any other nnhealth
ful substance to adulterate it, contain all
tho properties required to sustain life ?
Why, then, be so foolish as to allow our
selves to mourn over the high price of
what does us no good above that wc might
find In an article in the partaking of which
we are not liable te be contaminate! with
the diseases so prevalent among the ani
mals generally used as food ? ; Meu, as

Accident, We are Informed that
Charles Woodruff, of Cambridge, was
badly hurt a few weeks ago, while in the
woods hauling wood. He was at , work
for Chauncey Warner, and driving a pair
of oxen somewhat inclined to have th'etr
own way. He had started down a hjl in
the woods, with a long log on a sled, and
ranDhr. hrtwPPn thfi nd of the lor
a tree, while tho oxen were going M a
rapid rate. . The oxen broke the yoke and
cleared themselves from the sled, leaving
him fastened -between, the log and ,the
tree, unable to extricate himself. - Anoth

. Burning of the Winturop House
The Wiuthrop House and Masonic Hall,
corner of Trcmont and Boylston Streets,
Boston, were destroyed by fire last week.
As tbo fire broke out in the fifth story
the two hundred lodgers escaped unharm
ed, but every . thing inside Was a total
loss, ,'fho building was owned by the
grand masbnio lodgo of the ' State, and
the: Freemasons' Hall in the upper story
was the finest masonio hall in the country.
It was occupied by no less than eighteen
lodges, each of whom had much valuable
property in the hall, not a dollar's worth
of which was saved. Among the valua
bles destroyed were original portraits of
.Washington, Gen. Warren, Price, the first
grand master of the State, and also, of
all the grand masters, from 1780 down ;
a grca number of original masonic docu
ments bearing the signatures of eminent
masons of tho previous century, among
them characters and papers, signed by
Washington, Warren, Franklin, Paul Re
vere and othersj the entire records of the
Supreme Council of. the United States,
and, the vuluablo librurj of the gvand
lodge, embracing over ono tlioiraand vol
umes and many pamphlets, many of
which were of great, value and which it
will be impossible to replace. A look of
Washington's hair, with the gold urn in
which it was deposited, were fortunately
not hi. the building, and are therefore
safi?. The insuauce of the masons' is

Cairo, III., April 14.
Dn Tuesday morning Forrest attacked
Fort Fillow. .Soon after the attack For
rest sent a flag of truce - demanding the
surrender of tho garrison.. In the mean

tho advantage of our forces. Major
Booth who commanded, refused the flag
of truce and the fighting was resumed,
afterwords a second flag camo in -which
was also refused. This gave the'rebcls
the advantage of gaining ncw position
The battle was kept up until 3 P. M.,
when Major Booth was killed, and Major
Bradford took command. The rebels now
made such a furious attack that our men
were compelled to surrender. Immediate
ly upon the surrender, a scene whioh baf
fles all description took place. Up td
that time, comparatively few of our men
had been killed, but instantly on taking
possession of the fort the fiends commcne
ed an indiscriminate butchery of the
whites and blacks, including those of both
colors, nnd who had been previously
wounded. The black soldiers becoming
demoralized rushed to the rear, the white
officers having thrown down their sword?
Both white and black were bayopctted,
shot or sabred, even dead bodies were
horribly . mutilated, and children and
several negro vvomen were murdered in
cold blood. Soldiers unable to speak
from wounds were shot dead and their
bodies thrown into the river. ! Tho dc:i

and burned. Several citizens who had
