VINO DOES THE FlGurING ?"-Tht
politics of the military who are now defend.
ing our government against treason, is Of nc
consequence whatever, but the argus never
loses an opportunity, in season or out Of
season, to turn everything to some pariizan
account. So last week it raised the above
question, and declares that majority Of
the field officers of the 1st regiment are not
republicans, and that of the Bradford COM
pany, f" of 26 who went from Bradford vii
lage, only fee are republicans" and that Of
the officers, "two out of five are republi-
cans" Now if this was true it would be
OF no consequence, but in the next place.
the statements of the -Argns are unquali-
fiedly false. AT least two-thrds and prob
ably more, of the entire regiment are Re-
publicans. We wrote to an intelligent gen.
gleman in Bradford, TO know about the pol
itlcs OF that company, not Of course that we
believed the story Of the Argus, because we
didn't, but in order to see how big false
hood he had told, and found il was even
bigger then was supposed here, where peo-
pie know pretty well how much TO subtract
IRON his statements. The truth is just this

ocrats !; four wings or Bell-Everett men,

The Vermont Regiment.

Our troops were handsomely received in
New York, and receive their full share OF
compliments. A New York paper thus
speaks OF them just before leaving that city
for Old Point Comfort
Among The assemblage were several of
! the fair daughters of Vermont, who came
all the way from the verdure clad hills IF
their nativity 10 see brothers or sweet-hearts
oil, and to give them parting smile and
tear OF sympathy as the loved ones went
from their gaze across the rppling waters
oil the noble Hudson. 1t was a scene wor
thy OF being witnessed, when one beheld
the tiny fingers of those mountain nymphs
busily engaged in adjusting the knapsacks
or brushing the dust from the overcoats of
those who were nearest to their hearts, as
the note of preparation was sounded. Ii
was not long before the brave fellows were
formed and placed in marching order, when
off they started with the light of glory on
their countenances, and the thought evil
IDENTITY in their hearts that they were about

musket was ever pointed for or sword snatch

All along the line of march the Green
Mountain boys were saluted with cheers
which only could emanate from the threats
OF those whose hearts were big to overflow |
ing with patriotism and the love Of the glo- /
rious old Union which is never to be dis
solved. And as the Vermonters caught
those sounds on their ears, how their ewes
sparkled, how their serred ranks became
more compact and their front bolder and
more naughty, till the cheers burst into a
lumult OF applause, mingled with cries of
Long live the Vermonters 7 Three
cheers and tiger for the boys Of the Green
Mountains, There's the Yankee stuff.
Nc, &c. Arrived at the wharf, some de-
ay occurred before the soldiers were rot on

SECESSION SURRENDER AT ST.. LOUIS.
An important blow was struck at incioient
treason in Missouri on Friday. Capt. Ly-
on, in command of the U. S. fore s at the
arsenal, with the Missouri volunteers, sur
rounded the corps of state militia called out
by Gov jackson, some 500 in number, and
demanded their surrender. They laid down
their arms and were marched into the arse
nal as prisoners of war. They at first re-
fused to take oath not to take up arms
against the United States, but on Saturday
the officers were released on their parol of
honor and the men upon taking the oath
not to bear arms against the United States.
The necessity for thus crushing treason in
Missouri before it had got into fighting con-
ditlon was apparent. The governor is fully
with the southern conspirators, and is ready
for any plot TO involve the state in rebellion
by the same dishonest and violent means
used in Virginia.
