A MEMBER Of tho WATCHMAN Staff W88 at
Fort Ethan Allen last Sunday when tho
First Vermont Regiment arrived from
Chlckamauga Park, after a journey of moro
than fifty hours. By olectrlcs, ateam cars,
aud vehlclea of every descriptlon fully 4,000
poople gathered at the fort in tho early
hours of the mornlng and waitod patlently
untll half-paat ono, when the hospital train,
hearing two hundred and fourteen men and
the doad body of Corporal Ilarry B. Lam
aon of Barre, who died of aplnal meningitls
onroute, was slowly and carefully switched
to the side track ou tho ground, Twenty
one of the men were dangeroualy aick.
They had to bo carrled to the hospital on
stretchors, whllo tho otherB were able to
ride to tho harracks near by iu ambuiauces
aud four-horso wagona. As the mon were
carrled from the train or feebly allghted tho
feellugs of tho thousands of spectators could
not bo restralned. Women and men wept
like children, whllo in reaponae to plteous
appeala for water from tho sufferers, scores
of men threw off thelr coats aud liurriod
brimming palls, buckets and pltchers of
cool sprlng water to parched lipa. Not a
cheor was heard. The appearance of the
men was a Bhock and a aurpriae to every
ono. Had they juat roturned from six
months' Btarvation in Spanish priaons, they
could not havo been more enfeebled or
emaciated. Thelr sunken cheeks, glaasy
eyes and sallow, unhealthy complexlona
told moro eloquently than words what thoy
had suffered. It took nearly two hours to
tranafer the occupants of thia train to bar-
racKS anu uospitai, wuere a corps oi puysl
clans and tralned nursea at once began re
liovlug the wauts of the mon. Asslstant
Surgeou Joseph W. Jackaon of Barre waa
ln charge. Fifteon of hia thirty assistants
aud nurses were prostrated with dlseaso
aud the straln to which he had been sub
jected stnce tho tralu left camp, with loss of
sleep, had left their marks upon hlm.
Several of tho sick mou with whom the re
porter talkod spoke in terms of tho warmest
praiso of Dr. Jackaon. With scant food
and littlo sleep he was constantly watchlng
the sufferers, going many tlmes each day
from ono eud of tho train to tho other, and
with medlciue and cheerful words, doing
much to koep up the aplrlta of the men.
The death of young Lauisou waa keenly
felt by Dr. Jackaon, as thoy were personal
friends. In conversatlon with the Watch
man reproaentative, Dr, Jackson said he
had aeen no water In camp that ho would
offor to a horse or a dog in Vermont, and to
the Impure water ho charges very much to
the prevalent slckness and dlseaso in tho
regiment. Tho followlng members of Com
pany H were on the hOBpital train: Corpo
ral Wllliam Theriault. Oliver Glshorn,
Elmer Town, Samuel Wing, Frank Jary,
W. J. Mooro, E. W. Lynton, Alfred Du

J. Putney. Nouo of thoso are dangeroualy
ill. Corporal Theriault was brought to hia
home Sunday nlght by hla father, aud
Bovoral others havo obtained furlougha.
Tho tralu hearing the flrat battalllou, made
up of couipaniea M of Burlington, A of Rut
land, and 0 of Brandon arrived at tho fort
ahortly aftor llvo o'clock Sunday attercoou.
Cheora from a thouaand throats with wav
Ing hats and handkerchiefa greotod theao
luya as the train waa run on tho alding.
They qulckly formod up, Btacked arma and
marched to tbo cautetm where Quarter
niaater Goneral Gilmore and Cateror Coon
of Burlington had hot cotfee And saml
wichea iu abunduuco for all. Tho stock
aud haggago train arrived at ton o'clock,
aud.tho two remainlng sectlouB shortly be
