THE VERMONT COMPANY

Is filling up rapidly. There are already
at Norwich a portion of the number
required for the company. Lieut.. Hop
kins has opened an office in Rutland, and
Lieut. Cove has, or is about to do 30, at
Montpelier. Two finer fellows or better
officers do not exist-with Lieut.. Kellogg

spoken of in the highest terms as an Off

AGRICULTURAL.

The following resolution was adop|
by the Board of Managers ofthe Wind
Co. Agricultural Society at the NEE

Whereas, il is desirable 10 ascertain
value and variety Of the agricult3
productions Of the state, in order to|
upon standard of cultivation vii
shall yield the greatest prof, in prof
ton 10 the capital invested, and and
of labor bestowed. And being defic
in correct knowledge of these prod
tions, we have not the information wi
is necessary for thorough understd|
ing of the value of our soil. And
want of this information many Of the|
,erprising youth of our state are d
grating to the far west, TO seek
wealth and happiness, which can
well be realized among the green
of their native state.
Therefore ReSoIccd, BY the Board
Managers Of the Windsor Co. Agri|
tural Society that the listers Of The sew

RECRUITING SERVICE.

NECRUlllNG SERVICE.
MR. EDIToR:-I noticed in the las
number of the Age, a call for enlistments
IN this state, under the provisions of thu
Ten Regiment act and as am one VIII,
ever feels an interest in the honor of m,
native state, trust that this call upon tn,
patriotism OF her citizens will meet with
prompt and cheerful response. That i
will, have not the least doubt, although
1t has become fashionable with some tc
denounce the war as cruel, and unjust.
vermont possesses as patriotic cizens az
any state in the Union, and it would be
base libel upon their character to suppose
Tor moment, that they will permit thci
country to call in vain for their services
10 some il may appear that the remuner
alton offered isnot sufficient encourage
ment for services, but if it be looked at il
Its true light, the matter will appear en-
tirely different. All necessary provisions
are made for the wants of the soldier sucl
as rations, good clothing, &c, from the
time of his enlistment till his discharge
and his pay Of seven dollars per month
need not be broken in upon. This am
cunt may appear small, yet in my humble
opinion, eighty.four dollars per year is o
greater income than is usually realized By
those who haYe no other resources than
their own personal labors. Add to this
the twelve dollars bounty, and the prvi-
ege of possessing 100 acres of govern
ment land, located to suit his own taste
or one hundred dollars in treasury SCRIP
with scmi-annual interest, payable at the
option of the government, at the close oil
the war, and the inducemont, in pecuni.
airy point is, TO say the leas; very respect
able. But there are other reasons why
might anticipate a ready response to
this call, and feeling of local pride is by
no means destitute of its influence. YER
mont will moi have it said Of her, that she
was the last state to furnish her proportion
of soldiers to aid in carrying on war
waged by foreign enemy. The rcputa,
ton Of the "Grecn Mountain Boys" can
never be sacrificed at so cheap late, SO
long as the memory of their past achieve
ments endures. And though men may
stand in the corners of the streets, and, Is
did the tories of the revolution, and the
opposers of the war Of 1912 decIaim
against those who may farm for their
country YET the true patriot the true H.
merican IN principle will frown with indig-
nifty upon such treason and leave them
like their predecessors, to be cursed by
after generations. 1t is a prominent viz
tue Of the American people to reward
those who stand by their country in a time
OF war, and hold up with contempt those
who in any way give, "aid and comfort,
to its enemies. 1t matters not whether
the war be continued one month, or one
year, but in either event let it not be said
that Vermont could not be represented for
the want Of patriotism among her citi.

DEMOCRATS.

We call upon you 10 aid in maintain
ing the honor of the State. We have
known some protested democrats to dis.
courage those who were inclined 70 enlist.
Such conduct is contemplate and de-
serves the censure of every patriot.

Law for the promotion and End
ment of Non Commissioned Officer
Prioates Of the army, whethcr Volund
Regulms:-Thc following is the III
ton of the act of Sd March, passed
late session Of Congress-
"And be it further enacted, That
any non'commissioned officer shall
gnIshed himself, or may have dislin|
ed himselfin the service, the Presidl
the United States shall be and he isl
by authorized, on the recommended
the commanding officer of the red
to which said non.commissioned ofid
longs, 10 attach him by brevet of thd
est grade OF rank, with the usual pd
emoluments OF such grade, to any cd
the army: Provided, that there sha]
be more than one so attached TO AMI
company at the same time, and whe|
any private soldier shall so distinguish
self, the President may in like md
grant him certificate of merit,
shall enli'le him to additional pay d
rate of two dollars per month"
1t will be seen by the above, that \
men who may wish to enlist into the
vice of the United States, are not to
in a capacity where their merits will
be appreciated, The road to prom
is open to all, and the above law hold
calculated to stimulate the
of the rank and flea worthy ince
to noble action.
