THE SIXTH REGIMENT.

The Sixth Regiment Vermont Volunteers,
1.-THE Fifth under the special act of the Extra
Session providing for raising six Regiments,) is
now completely organized and is in camp near
Montpelier The CELEBRITY with which this reg
iment has been recruited, uniformed and equip
ped is remarkable in the military cannals of
Vermont, and it is such as would do credit to
the reputation Of any State. In fifteen days
this work was done On Saturday the regiment
received its arms, so that in hcenty days from
the time orders were issued for recruiting the
regiment the troops were prepared to take the
field THIS as the sort Of energy that we like
to see, and although a reasonable amount of
the same desirable quality would have been ad =
vantageous in the raising of the other regi-
ments, we ore not disposed to be captious but
are willing to give out authorities all due credit
for their well directed zeal and activity.
We understand that this regiment will be
mustered into the United States service this
week, and will then be subject to orders from
the general government From present indi-
cations there will be an abundance of work for
our troops as soon as they are in condition to
perform it.

flag, feeling assured that you will ever esteem
it worthy of your love and generation. For
under its folds fought our beloved Washington
beneath its stripes our armies march and our
navies sail. 1t marks the spot where lies bur-
led the lamented Ellsworth, fitting monument
TO the heroic dead. And sweetly sleeping,
shrouded within its folds, repose the brave
Lyon and other heroes dear to memory. Then
take it, cherish it as sacred and holy trust,
pledging yourselves, should duty call, ever to
defend it, and help maintain its honor and dig
nifty. And as you bear it aloft in your ranks,
and as the eye falls upon its graceful folds,
floating in the breeze, may the prayer ascend
from the altar of each heart, "God bless our
flag"
Capt. Dutton received the flag, and after a
brief but appropriate response, placed it in the
hands of the standard bearer; which was fol-
lowed by the enthusiastic cheers of the COM
pany.
During this interesting scene, such are the
thrilling associations of the times, that many a
moist eye might have been seen in the large
crowd assembled to witness the ceremony.

NEW BOOKS.

MEMORIAL VoLUME.-The foregoing title is
given to a neat octave volume, just issued by
the American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions. The work gives history
of the origin of the American Board, with a
sufficiently detailed account of its operations TO
the present time. to give the reader an intelli-
gent understanding of how the grain of mustard
seed of u half-century ago, has become mighty
tree whose branches afford shelter and new
hopes to men over the whole earth. The book
is most timely. With the generation with
whom the flow of Foreign Missions was con-
ceived is passing away, the call for their sup
port is urgently made to those now upon the
stage; and anything that could so fully acquaint
the young with the claims upon their benevo-
lence of such an organization as the Board, has
never before been put forth,-the record of
their operations having existed principally in
periodicals. In this volume the young have
mass of information made ready to their hand,
the old a convenient book of reference, and the
whole is wonderful record of what God hath
wrought by feeble .instrumentalities, exciting
lively anticipations of what shall appear in the
next fifty years, in this department. To be had
at Felton's, price S1.OO.

PAEINa THE PIPER.

We clip from the n. Y. Times, a little com
mentupon the generous style in which our troop
are being furnished with music 1t would seen
as though one full Brass Band for a Brigade
would s,snicefor all parades and extra occasions
whilst other marching were better done by the
fife and drum, as of yore. The providing of O
Band for each regiment, not only adds the num-
Der Of Twenty or thirty men to be provided for,
without increasing perhaps at all by the effec-
tiveness of the force, but the War Department
reports the snug little item of 50 1000, 900 as
required per annum, to pay the musicians
already under orders:
at is a .proverb old almost as our language.
that "ther who dance must pay the piper. "
Our Government is learning this truth some
what to its sorrow. .Secretery Cameron. we are
told, is quite dismayed to find that the cost of
music, by the regimental bands, is running up
at rate that will amountto millions of dollars
per annum. 10 appreciate the fearful expense
fully, it may be said that what is nov paving
for "brass bands" that blow SO nightly in
dress parades and in "serenading Generals"
would have supported the navy Of the United
States, as it stood few years since.
Music is very good thing in its way, but
we cannot but believe that we are having "too
much of a good thing" There has been far
more swelling of cheeks and obstrepera,ion of
brazen-throated trumpets than is profitable.
Jericho surrendered TO the blast of a rams
horn. But our rebels do not yield to such per-
suasions. Nor should we expect them to-.
Shakespeare knew the poweressness of music
over such. In his'ceebrated lines he tells us
that
HE that hath music in his SOUL
And is not moved by concord of sweet sounds,
is 1T for treasons, sratagcnns and spos.r
We have found the rebels exactly of this
sort We have 'piped.." but they have not
"danced-" They hear our notes, but they ut
terly refuse to keep step TO the music of the
Union" Therefore, letus change Draw out
the diapason, and let The ordnance of battle
minge its deep roar with the silly clangor of
comets. We have had "quapers' enough in
the Army, and had better return to FIRST prin-
ciples, known to revolutionary soldiers in the
drum and fife. Fashionable music is full of
"fngues" which means fights and we should
AVOID aught that suggests the rapid time made
an the "fuguc" at Bull Run"

Major PRocToR.-We feel authorized to
state, from our personal acquaintance with Red
field Proctor, Esq, recently Quartermaster of
the Sd Vermont Regiment, that his appointment
as Major Of the 9th Vermont Regiment is de-
served tribute to his worth and ability We
have no doubt that he will prove to be a most
acceptable officer,-such an one as can rarely be
found in the service. lie is brave, heroic self
possessed, and what is more, he entered the
service a great pecuniary sacrifice, and from
patriotic motives unminged with selfish inter-
ests. At the time of his appointment as Quar-
termaster of the Sd Vermont Regiment, he was
partner of the late Chief Justice Isaac +. Red
field, in Boston. He is native of Cavendish,
and feeling that his services might be of value
to his native State, he sought the only position
which was then open to him, though he prefer
red a position of danger, which, it seems he has
now obtained in the 9th Regiment We shall
expect good account of the services of Major
Proctor. He is the right man in the right place.

FINANCIAL AGENT.

In conformity with the action ef several
state executives,-the object being understood
to receive the cordial appreciation of the presi-
dent, paymaster general, and United States
sanitary Observation-Disclosures Fairbanks
has determined to send a commissioner to the
seat OF war, to act as agent for the volunteer
soldiers to receive and transmit such portions
OF their pay as they may be induced TO send
home TOR the support Of their families, or for
investment: and he has appointed the Hon.
Joseph Poland of Montpelier for that purpose.
The pay Of each regiment is understood to
be from $4,000 to30, 600 per month-n,aking,
when our six regiments shall be in the field as
they soon will he, Eore than $4,000 upon
each payday, which occurs once in two months.
The Importance and advantages of some action
by which portion of this vast amount might
be saved for the benefit of our volunteers and
comfort of their families, is universally ac-
knowledged. Hence this appointment CAL
edOnidn-
This is matter Of great Importance and we
are glad that an agent has been appointed to
act therein. There is no doubt that a large
number of our volunteers would gladly trans

the benefit of their families, or friends, or for
investment, if suitable and safe opportunity
presented itself They get their clothing and
rations from the government, hence they can
have no immediate use for all of the Sl3 per
month which is their regular pay. A way is
now provided whereby every private can send
home such portion of his earnings as he may
choose, without cost and with entire safety. In
this way large sum in the aggregate of the
soldiers earnings may be saved to their families
or to themselves, that would otherwise be lost.

QUININE Tonic BITTERs.-The word "bt-
ters' is Of somewhat general application, and is
sometimes used to d !escribe something which,
for one reason another, it is desired to avoid
calling by its true name. Mr.. Charles II. At
wood, however, prepares an article under the
name of "Quinine Tonic Bitters," to which the
name properly applies. The value of his prep
aration is certified by names in which the pub
lie rcpose the greatest confidence. 1t is COM
posed of vegetable ingredients, producing eff
feets that otherwise could only be acquired by
agents of stronger and more dangerous ma
ture, and is strongly recommended for cases in
which strengthening s,imulant is required.
1t may be taken with water, sweetened or not,
according to tastei or it may be used with wine
or spirits, when they are prescribed or found
advantageous. We are assured that the great
est care is taken by Mr.. Atwood in the selection
of the materials of which this medicine is COM
posed, in order to obtain those of the best
quality. His "Bitters" are certainly worthy the
attention of those who require. the use of an
article of this kind.-Boston Advertiser.

Home Guard were paraded on the Common,
having been drilling for the County Fair, Miss
Frances A. Upham, supported by two other
young ladies, stepped forward from the crowd
and presented to the company a beautiful and
tasteful flag, and accompanied the presentation
with the follawing address:
