The Stuff Our Soldiers are Made of.-The Sixth Maine Regiment has earned the soubriquet of the "Wood-choppers," by felling acres and acres of woodland across the Potomac, to deprive the enemy of skulking places for sharpshooters. They cut the trees about three feet from the ground, felling them all one way, thus forming abattis through which neither horse nor man can pass. Military roads have also been cut from the bridges and ferry, which rival the famous pathways of the Roman legions, traces of which are still to be seen in the countries which they conquered. One of these roads, leading from Fort Ethan Allen, at the Chain Bridge, to Fall's Church, will long remain a monument to the industry of the Vermonters who constructed it.
