of the Geological Survey, before the LIST of

cut of from the privilege of getting the work

contains an extract of a private letter on that
subject from Mr.. Hagar, the assistant geolo-
gist who is Publishing the work As be is

he shall not risk the publication of many
more copies than those provided for the use

low price for a Quarto of 500 or 600 pages
on good paper with maps, and numerous 9TH

THEgPECIAL SESSION.

The business of the Legislature which is
70 meet next Tuesday is clearly stated in the
Governors Proclamation. We are rot familiar
enough with the details of our present militia
law to say what specific amendments are
necessary to meet the present state of the
country. We know however that even the
enrolment OF the able bodied men oil Inc
State has fallen into decay. and as tor any
nusfe1no of them generally. nothing OF 'ne
sort has been done for many years. a com
plete and prompt enrolment oil them ought
N he made at once. and they ought also to be
,,us,e-,6 in small divisions Immediately and
of5cered. There can be no force for any good
nurpose in body Of men who do not know
each other as members of an organised body.
Under sudden local excitement they may
make a rush like a mob /; but to be familiar
with order, to know their ranks, who must
be looked to for directions, whose commands
must be obeyed, is essential to any reliable
action. The theory Of our institutions is
that every man can be made to take his
stand instantly on the side of Government If
the need arrives, and 10 do battle for its sup
port according to his ability. The scipiine
of regular troops is not demanded Of the
militia in time of peace, but some discipline
that on which a thorough one can be
speedily formed if needed,-should always
exist.
To meet the emergency, the Legislature
has to provide for the immediate mastering
Of one fall regiment Of Vermont militla into
the service Of the United States, and for
such further aid as the President may call
for before the Legislature meets again. There
is high probability that additional requi-
sitions will be made very soon. We think
provision for three full regiments. if so many
should be called for, ought to be made -
Whatever proper expense the State shall he
at for the equipment. pay, and support of the
forces So called out, will of courst be- re-
funded to the State by the general Cox. m
ment but 10 the mean time. till Congress
shall be able to act, an ample provision ior
these wants must be made by the LegIsla-
ture. We think the credit of the State
o1sht to be pledged for, say $780, 900, and
the Executive Of this State authorized 10 OBJ
tain and apply 50 much of the money as
shall lie needed to meet the wants OF the
case.
VERMONT lie a small State, but she has a
name to be proud of 10 the history Of her
country. 1t reaches back to the very birth
of her existence. Let no hardness. no
lack of spirit cast a shade, even for u mo-
ment, over the glory Of her past reno~n
Let it never be said Vermonters are loud
tolkers for a a free government; but wh'n it
comes to Oct'oH for the support Of it, they are
slow and unwilling.
