Vermont Military.

Previous to May, 1856, not a military
corps existed in the state. At that time
Capt. Joseph Bush of Brandon, formerly
an officer in the Mechanic Phalanx, Low
ell, organised an infantry company called
the Allen Greys. Through the exer-
tons Of Capt. Bush and other leading
military spirits, the Legislature of Yer
mont, at its session in 1856. voted a mil
itary bounty Of three dollars per man
for each company of not more than sixty
men, including officers and musicians.
Encouraged by this action on the part
of the state, several volunteer compa-
MES have since sprung into existence,
and there are now ten full uniformed and
well drilled companies in the state, viz.
the Allen Greys, of Brandon, Green
Mountain Guards, Bellows Falls; How
ard Guards, Burlington; Swanton Guards.
SwantOn; Ransom Guards, St. Adams
Rochester Guards, Rochester: Wood.
stock Light Infantry, Woodstock Mid.
debury Light Guard, Mjddlebury; Green
Mountain Rangers, Granville.
On the lst and I'd Of September the
Governor has called to the tented field
all the volunteer companies of the state
The muster takes place at Brandon
Boston Journal
All very true; but the Journal ha
entirely overlooked US in Orleans, in it
eneomiums of the Vermont military
When all are mustered on the tentet
field, we can show two as fine companie
as there are in the state, the " Gov
entry Artillery" and the &" Green Noun
tain Rangers" of Lowell, who viii prob
ably appear at Brandon at the time spec

MIssoURI-The St. Louis Democrat
calls attention to the fact shown in the
recent election, that free soil, ia no To-
cality and ander no pressure Of adpersi-
ty, has receded one single Uote in the State
of Missouri. The issue may not have
been boldly presented, but the express
sion of public sentiment was made with
full knowledge of the direction in which
If tended. In St. Louis, setting aside
the question of frauds, the free soil vote
has increased more than 500 since the
election of 1856. So far from being dis
couraged by the last election, the free
soil interest is emboldened in its deter
mination and made wiser in its convic-
ton of the policy now to be pursued
Henceforth there viii be union of its
elements. The Democrat adds:
Never was the heart of the free soil
party frmer than it is in this conjunc-
ture. Never did its prophetic men see
with surer vision the final triumph of the
cause and its rapid recuperation from
the very elements of discord that Undue
ed defeat. Never were those who have
led and those who have been overborne
more calmly conscious of their strength
or more heroically resolved to hold then
positions against all corners. Before
this day two years hence free sellers will
have deployed in controlling force within
the halls of our Assembly, and will have
possessed themselves of the entire State
government. Mark the prediction.

60 The Chicago Tribune is seeking
for light on an interestidg point of politi-
cal history. Intimating that meeting
of Anti-Lecompton Democrats was held
at the residence of Senator Broderick
on the Sunday night previous to the pas
sage of the English bill, at which Col.
Forney was present, it asks:
'Is it a fact, that after Senator Brod-
erick, had signifed that they would ac-
cept the English substitute, Col. Forney
slightly protesting, that the California
Senator arose to his feet and said in sub
stance Gentlemen, you can vote for
the English substitute if you will; but
should you do so, as sure as there is a
God above, I will denounce you upon
the floor of the Senate for having desert
ed and sold out to the Administration.
And is it fact that this resolute conduct
of Senator Broderick alone induced Mr.
Douglas and the remaining corporaPs
guard to oppose the English substitute?
These questions are asked advisedly
We await their answer"
