State Loan.

We understand that the Treasurer has &C
cepted bids for the State Loan to the amount
Of S200,0ON The advertisement, it will be
recoectcd, called for 100000, but the Treas
urer reserved the right "to reject any or all
proposals." The sum accepted is all al rates
from par to one-half of one per cent. pre-
MUM. \ considerable portion of this sum
consists of bonds issued in exchange for out
standing Indebtedness. 50 that the S2O0,Ooo
is not all in addition TO the State debt. The
amount of bonds issued in exchange for out
standing debts, VT have not learned, but We
shall soon have the official report. Of the
sum accepted. $4,000 was taken in Yer
mont and $4,000 ont of the State. Over
$4,000 was taken in Montpelier. The Bank
o. Rutland takes $4,000. The Vermont
IIat,hm0n, in a!lusiou TO al additional. loan
which may be asked for should the war con-
'inuc, very properly says:
And now as to an additional loan which
may be asked for by the State: by oil h'f01sS
LET Ii, p,opie Of the State take il. ci"} t'Ie il
at par. They cannot have safer invest
ment, for it will he de5' own ,lejt, and they
viii be sure 70 provide payment of both IN

reason still why our own people should take
the entire loan as they are to pay both IN
tcrest and principal IN any event. they will
pay il t" Themselves anid prcserre tie capi1I
N tie state, e they TAKE the loan themselves
whereas, if they suffer Others to take it, both
interest and principal will go oM ot tie state.
United States stocks may doubtless be had
at 81 cents on the dollar, and this is tempt
my investment; but We have no doubt tina,
it will be altogether better for Vernon; in
The long run TO have her people invest in
Vermont stock at par. II there is surplus
beyond the necessities of the State, it viii
be wise to look outside for solid investments

The Fare at Camp Baxter.

To the Editor If Tie Caiedontan.
| wish to enquire through your paper If
Milk and Butter are considered such "luxu-
ries that the State cannot afford them TO
the soldiers in Camp Baxter; and also why
they are furnished to the soldiers in Camp
Underwood and not to those in Camp Bax-
ter The SOLDIERS FRIEND
For the information Of The Soldiers
Friend" We have procured and herewith print
a copy Of the Ra,ions, as served cut daily TO
the men at Camp Baxter:
"Three-fourths pound Salt Pork, or 5-iths
do Bacon, or l4th do Fresh Beef, or 18th
do Salt Beef; IS OF. White Bread, or II do

He will further say, for general informa-
ton, that the Governor is understood TO be
DESTROYS that the men should be supplied
with such other rations as may be deemed
best for the regiment; and according " Pota-
toes and Milk have been ordered, and some
other articles will undoubtedly be procured.
1t is said that Butter Will not be furnished,
as it cannot be supplied when in actual ser
vice. and it is believed that due regard to
sanitary laws requires that the troops should
get accustomed to the usual and Inevitable
