GEO. II. CLARK. During the month of April which has just passed, two Vermont ministers, one of them in the early prime of life and usefulness, the other full of years and of good works, have rested from their labors and gone to their reward. Rev.

George Henry Clarke, pastor of the Congregational Church tt St. Johnsbury The following congratulatory order issued to the 3d Cavalry Division, which includes the 1st Vermont Cavalry, is a splendid recognition of its famous gallanty; Headqr's, 3d Cav. Appomat- tox C. Apr. 9, 1865, With profound gratitude to the God of battles by whose blessings our enemies have been humbled and our arms rendered triumphant, your commanding General ny with the 6th Corps, in which I am laboring in the "individual relief department" of the Christian Commission.

Because of the hurry of the rapid march to this place, and the confusion necessarily attendent upon the formation of a new camp, I have been unable to cbtdn, until this afternoon, the information solicited. Capt. Charles C. Morey, who belonged to Co. of the 2d Vermont was killed, as I learn, Apr.

2, at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, by a grape-shot which passed Centre, died in Georgia, 25 April, aged 29 years, 11 months and two days. ed with great care, and evidenced ability through his right shoulder. He fell, while and power as a writer. He was afterwards a commercial agent at Valparaiso, Chili. At the commencement of Mr.

Lincoln's administration he received an appointment from Mr. Seward to a position in the State Department, and prepared several state papers of importance. In 1862 he was appointed consul at which position he held at Ihe time of his decease. His funeral will probably take place at Poultney. bravely leading his Company onward, in a charge against a Confederate Battery, man ned by a Miss.

Battallion. This Battery lay on the south side of Petersburg, very He was born in Georgia, 23 May, the eon of David and Mary (Baker) Clarke. He fitted for college at Georgia and Bakers-field Academies, and was graduated at the University of Vermont in 1850, and at An-dovcr Theological Seminary in 1SG1. He was ordained at St. Johnsbury Centre 15 January 1862.

Rev. J. E. Rankin of St! Albans preached the sermon. His excellent Christian spirit, and his ability as a preacher, combined with vivacity of temperament and energy of character, to win speedily and entirely the affections of his people.

In 1863 an attack of bleeding at lungs completely prostrated him, and he returned to his father's house to die. He soon requested a dismissal from his pastorate, but his people clung to the hope of his restoration, and declined to have any other min near what were then Gen. Lee's headquar ters. avails himself of this first opportunity to express to you his admiration of the heroic manner in which you have passed through the series of battles which to-day resulted in the surrender of the enemy's entire army. The record established by your indomitable courage is unparalleled in the annals of war.

Your prowess has won for you even the respect and admiration of your enemies. During the past six months, although in most instances confronted by superior numbers, you have captured from the enemy, in open battle, one hundred and eleven pieces of field artillery, sixty-five battle flags, and upwards of ten thousand prieoners, including seven general officers. Within the past ten days, and iucluded in the above, you have captured forty-six pieces of artillery and thirty-seven battle-flags. You have never lost a gun, never lost a co or, and never been defeated, and notwithstanding the numerous engagements in which you have borne a prominent part, including those memorabJe engagements ot the Shenandoah, you have captured every piece of artillery which the enemy has dared to open upon you. The near approach of peace renders it improbable that you will again be called Vermont Boys at the West.

Although Capt. Morey continued to breath for twenty-five or thirty minutes, he never spoke, after he received the fatal shot. A brother officer, who belonged to another Company of the same Regiment, "Nomad" writes to the Burlington Sentinel from St. Louis, the following interesting items concerning Vermonters in the West I have run across many Vermont boys, who have strayed away from the Green Mountain State, to seek their fortunes in more propitious soil, but who still look back, I am sure, with feelings of affection to the friends and homes they left behind. Here in St.

Lauis, are two former Burlington boys, Charlie and Fred Follett, connected with the Ohio and Mississippi upon to undergo the fatigues of the toilsome march or the exposure of the battle railroad, the former in the responsible posi field, but should the assistance of keen tion of General Ticket Agent. Both these gentlemen stand high, I am told, and are bound to go ahead. Wm. Loomis, a grad and who was the first to reach him after he was wounded, says, "The Captain gave me, as I came up, a seemingly intelligent look, and a slight pressure, as I grasped his hand. But after thi3, during the few remaining moments of his life, he was to all appearances, either entirely or for the most part insensible." Shortly after his death, four men were sent back to pay the last rites of respect to his gory remains.

Tliese they burled hastily, and as best they could, under the circumstances of the hour. The Chaplain of a colored Mass. Regiment, who was met by the way, and whose services were secured, offered a brief prayer over the grave of the fallen soldier. While his spirit has taken its flight, his body rests beneath the soil of the Old Dominion. It was interred not far from the spot on which he so nobly fell.

And the place can be readily found, since it is hard by a tree, and near a house, in close proximity to what were at that time Gen. Lee's ister, or think of having any other, as long as he shou'd live, ne lingered a year and a half and died and his remains were conveyed back ta his parish, to be buried among his fa.thful flock.

BAJTSLOW. Rev, George W. Ranslow died in Georgia, 7 April, in the 65th year of Lis ago. He was born in Hinesburgh, (or Charlotte,) in September 1800, and labored on a farm till he was twenty-one years of age. He commenced study at Middlebury, but finished his preparatory studies, both classical and theological, at Bangor, where he was graduated in 1828.

He was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Cambridge, 5 February, 1829. Rev. Wort-ingtou Smith, D.DV of St. Albaus preached the sermon. During his pastorate of four years a revival of great power occurred, uate of the U.

Huse, blades wielded by ycur sturdy arms be required to hasten the coming of that glorious peace for which you have been so long contending, the General commanding is proudly confident that in the future as in the past, every demand will meet with a hearty and willing response. Let us hope that our work is done, and that, blessed with the comforts of peace, we may soon be permitted to enjoy the pleasures of home and friends.

For our comrades who have fallen let us ever cherish a grateful remembrance to the wounded and those who languish in Southern prisons, let our sympathy be tendered. And now speaking for myself alone, when the war is ended, and the task of the historian begins, when the deeds of daring which have rendered the name and the fame of the 3d cavalry division are inscribed upon the bright pages of our country's and is, of course, doing well. In Chicago I met more Vermont acquaintances than I have seen anywhere outside of the old Green Mountain State itself. A. L.

Smith, of St. Albans, and a gratuate and many were added to the Church. He of the U. V. in 1858, while occupying the responsible position of city editor of the Chicago Post, is still the Fred Smith of college days, liked and respected on all sides.

Albans, who is at the head of the Chicago bar. Mr. Smalley will undoubtedly secure the suc Third Cavalry Division. (Signed) G. A.

Custer. Brevet Major Gen. was dismissed in January 1833, and installed in Georgia, 19 June 1833. Rev. John K.

Converse of Burlington preached the sermon. He had a successful ministry of twenty-two years in Georgia, and the Church was largely built up. He was dismissed 31 January, 1855, but continued to reside in Georgia, and wa3 acting pastor of the adjacent parish at Milton Falls during the remainder of his life. He was the representative of Georgia in the legislature of 1856. Mr.

There was a good number present, and the proceedings were of a highly interesting and instructive character. Able and interesting papers were read by Drs. Webber, Holton and Crosby, and discussed by memT bers at large, eliciting much valuable infor headquarters, and as a planed board an easily legibly inscription was set up at the head of the grave. His comrades proposed, and made some preparation, to send his remains home. They were, however, unsuccessful both in their plans and their efforts.

The portion of the army, to which they belonged, was ordered off in pursuit of Gen. Lee, early in" the morning of the day succeeding Capt. Morey's untimely fall. And since then they have not been able, and perhaps never will be permitted to return to the fatal spot. Thus another brave son of New England has fallen, pierced by a mortal wound, while SLand'ng up in defence of the Government, and going forth to fight the battles of his native land.

Sympathizing deeply with the family and friends of the deceased, in the loss they have experienced in his early death, and desiring you to assure them of my readiness to do anything in my power which promises to mitigate the keenness of their present sorrow, I remain, dear Sir, Yours very sincerely, J.
