r RECRUITING.

We are sorry,very sorry TO say what we
are about to. We had supposed there
was some patriotism In the whig alias fed
era party-we had supposed that, not
withstandIng the opposition to--the con-
domination and rdlcue Of the war, that
when it came to the lease in hand" when
the country actually called for troops
we had hoped that party would to some
extent stand by the country. Such we
are sorry to say is not the case-with a
few honorable exceptions, the federal par
tisans oppose the war in every form, name
and nature, They oppose it by ridicuo,
attempting to prevent soldiers from enlis-
ing and do all in their power to retard the
measures of government to bring the war
to an honorable and speedy close. In
view ofthcse facts, we appeal to the DEMO
CRATIC party-to the PATRIOTISM, and the
HONESTY of its members. There Is
no longer hope, in Vermont, of maxi
ing the question Of this war national
measure-it must-it will be made par.
ty measure-and for the democracy a
measure OF which it will in after years
feel proud,
A company Of troops are called for from
this State. Recruiting Offices are opened
III different pIaces-yet we are sorry to
say the democracy look upon it as bust
ness in which it has but little concern
Officers have been appointed who are al
tached to the different stations, but
without the aid and active effort OF por-
ton Of the community around, they OF
themselves can do but little against the
Opposition they have to meet from the fed
eral party. 1t becomes the duty under
these circumstances for the democrats to
take the matter into their own hands--it
becomes them to see that the honor Of
the state is maintained and to use all the
effort in their power to fill the company
called for, with Vermontcrs-to make it
company with which the sympa'hies of the
people will go along, should it be called TO
Mexico. Already the iederallsts are cry
ing that Vermont cannot raise company
and that the democracy Of the state are
to be disgraced by its (alure;and the like.
Shall it be so' We appeal to you, Demo
Gratis ofVermont to prevent it.
Each one of you, by your influence can
secure recruit 10 some one ofthe stations
selected, you will. Shall it be said that
Vermont cannot raise IS men to sustain
her honor, after all the talk that has been
made about her patriotism and her readi-
ness to do so. We trust and hope the
Democracy will look at this business in its
true light and attend to it Immediately
1t is not a matter which only concerns
those who are officially interested in get
ting recruits for the army, but is business
which concerns the Democratic party Of
Vermont, ard as such we hope the party
will lake the matter up.

snow storms, that has occurred for many
years visited US on Friday and Saturday
last. 1t blocked up the roads in this yIcln'
ty so as to render them entirely impossible
until Monday morning. The mails were
all behind the usual time-some Of them
loosing their entire trips, and being COM
PEELED to lie over on the road from "a
to 60 hours. The Pomfret mail was
brought from that place TO this, distance
of nine miles, on foot. The snow ha:
fallen to the depth of l2 or 10 inches, and
drifed badly.

and washed away for the distance Of 81
miles. The Pitlsburg line is broken in
several places, but can be repaired in
