! VERMONT REGIMENT AGAIN.--W'
see by the kilograms that our regiment
is at New York on its way to Fort Mon
roe. Less than three weeks ago this fine
body of men were engaged in their peace
ful avocations without a thought Of war
Now they are FIVE hundred miles from
their homes, ready to battle for their coun-
try and government That they will dc
some work for this end, no one acquain-
ted with lhe material Of our Green Noun
tains can doubt. They are a tough, mus
c1lar, enduring set Of men, and viii out
last almost any other troops in the field.
To our impotence it has seemed a long
! time that this regiment has been in start
ing. Now that they are in the field, we
are compelled to acknowledge that no
slight dispatch has been used by the au-
/ thorities Of the state in their enrolment,
equipment, and mastering into service.
A cool and dispassionate judgment will
award great credit to The business capac-
lily Of the Governor, Adiutant and Quar-
ter Master Generals It is not easy to
create a regiment in a week and provide
it with all It's furniture. Our officers
have done vell, let US be content We
wait now TO hear from our soldiers, conf
dent that in every emergency they will
DO honor to the state Waichman.

TRUs PATRIoTIsN.--We learn that
Phillips Hill of East Montpelier, thrifty
farmer, has three sons who are not only
only old enough, but have willing hearts
for the service of their country. Yves
ley, the oldest, being about p years of
age, was residing with his brother-in-aw
in the town Of Stowe. At the time when
the demand was made on this State for
troops, he embraced the first opportunity
for offering his service for the emergency
by going to 1sorristown to enlist; butow-
ing to defect in one Of his eyes, he was
denied the privilege. On being refused
he Immediately returned to bis sisters
husband, and told him if he would enlist
be (Philiips) would stay with his family,
and take charge Of his farm at half sol
dier's pay. His two younger brothers,
Joseph and Harrison, have enlisted under
Major Durham Of this village. We are
assured chat they are strictly moral young
men, endowed with noble qualities, and
every way worthy Of promotion. We
throw out this last suggestion for the con-
sideration Of their brother soldiers
Wotchman.
