and with benedictions. At Troy they were met
by the "Citizens Corps and escorted TO the
residence of Gen. Wool. There they were ad-
dressed by Hon. J. o. Griswold in a compli-
mentary and graceful speech, and introduced to
the brave Wool. The General briefly addressed
Col. Phelps, who neatly responded for himself
and command. The Regiment then partook of
a late dinner at the Troy House. In the eve
ming they left for New York. The Albany At
las and Argus says of their appearance as they
passed through the city:
A Regiment of Vermont volunteers passed
down the Hudson River Railroad in the $40
train from Troy last night. They are by far
the finest troops we have yet seen among the
volunteers from any State. They look fit for
service. Every man in the ranks is every inch
a man., and not a man, from the Colonel down
to the last man in the rear column, but seems
fully capable of upholding the fighting reputa-
ton of Molly Stark's State. The Green Noun
tain Boys will he heard from down South
The Worlds reporter gives the following ac-
count of the Regiment in New York
The First Regiment of Vermont volunteers,
numbering $50 men under command of Col.
Phelps, arrived in this city from Troy yesterday
morn ng at 6 o'clock, after having been under
arms thirty-six hours. They marched immedi-
ately to the Park Barracks, where a warm break
fast awaited them, and where they were quar-
tered for the day. The appearance of the first
regiment from the Green Mountain State is
such as to elicit the most cordial commentator
OF all who have seen them. They are a rugged.
vigorous, powerful body of men, to whom the
hardships of camp life will be little less than a
pastlme. In the ranks are about one hundred
college graduates, and many of the members
are gentlemen of wealth and the highest re-
spectability of Vermont. There are, also, a
large number of mechanics and farmers in the
regiment-men who are use to every possible
hardship, and who will not be the first to falter
on the battle field. Every man in the regiment
is said to be a shot.
AT a trial of the new muskets BY one of the
companies, every one struck the target at a dis
lance of twenty rods, and the officers say there
are not ten men in the regiment who would
miss it at that distance. In addition TO the
skill OF the troops in the use of their arms. they
are Differed by men who have seen actual SER
vice. Col. Phelps is an old and experienced Of
hcer, and has, by the strict enforcement of dis
cipline, together with his care for the comfort of
MS men, won the confidence of his entire COM
mand. There are some tall men in the ranks,
but the Colonel towers above them all.
The New York Tribune thus speaks of the
appearance of the LIST Regiment from this State;
If any secessionist doubts the fighting quality
OF Northern men, let them look at the Vermont
Regiment now in the City Hall Park. They do
not attract attention by the showiness of their
uniforms because a sober gray does not dazzle
the eyes. But they do attract at ention, and a
very large share of it and it is because they
show the kind of material that is likely to back
up our first leyies, which were mostly from the
cities, and in the hurry of a moment, when the
alarm was first sounded, some men were un-
doubleday sent off who had better have been
left at home.
This regiment shows that it has been made
up of no hastily gathered materials, but of men,
mostly in the very prime of early manhood,
who have been INJURED to toll, and look as though
they were naturally fitted for hard service.
There is, beside, a look of intelligence about
them that shows how valuable they will be in
any branch of the service where such capacity
Is needed as will enable men TO act upon en-
ergency, such as that at Harper's Ferry, when
the arsenal was destroyed. 1t is not probable
that there is "A single man in this sober, gray
regiment that cannot read and write, and prob
ably all have read Of all the events of the war.
and understand them most perfectly. We wish
we could say as much for any traitor regiment
that JEFF. Davis has mustered.

and declaring that the whole power of the Uni
