Let Vermont Hen Enter Vermont Regiments

A few days since-the 23d nst-some fifty
prime men left Burlington to Join New York
Regiment. Recruiting Offices have been opened
elsewhere for Regiments out of the State This
is not fair-it is not just to our own State, and
our honor may suffer by it in the end. When
other Regiments are called for, we may by and
by lack the men for them 1t must not be for
gotten, that in proportion to our population,
our fighting men are much less numerous than
in most other States, Our young men emgrate
more than in other States Only few days
since Western Regiment reckoncd one hundred
and seventy Vermonters in it's ranks, and prob
ably many whole Regiments of Vermon,ers
might be made up of those bearing the name of
other States. We will answer for the sons of
Vermont doing their full share in this business
and we do not object to those living in other
States enlisting where they live, but we do OBJ
ject, on grounds of State prid, and honor, to
having our young men 60 abroad to serve under
other flags than that of Vermont

Ger. Patterson.

IAc Times Washington dispatch says reliable
]r.ormatlon has been received in ashingtOn,
which leaves no Doubt that Gen. Patterson re.
Trained from holding Gen. Johnston in check.
Ike was heard to say that he would take care of
himself, and the army of the Potomac must do
the same that he was not going to do all the
wolk and let Gen. McDowell's column reap all
the glory.
There remains but little doubt that Gen. Pat
ccson' neglect to either keep Johnstons forces
employed, or to follow his retreat so rapidly as
TO- at least, give as much support to our troops
n-ar Manassas, as the Rebels recei led from Gen.
Johnston, arose neither from apprehension of
telng overpowered by IL superior force, nor the
retr approach of the period when the time for
which many Of the troops under his command
Lad enlisted would expire, but from criminal
sympathy with the Rebel cause. Those
thoroughly acquainted with the position,
strength and desires of his troops unhesita-
;ingly say that all these points were favorable
u active operations against the enemy, and that
even the fimsy pretc1ts given by Patterson as
excuse for his inactivity had no existence in
fact. 1t is said that he owns a plantation in
Virginia, and during the first ebulltion of pat
lotic feeling succeeding the fall of Sumter he
was 50 strongly suspected of secession sympa-
.ies that the mob surrounded his house, and
compelled him to display the Stars and Stripes
and his conduct near Winchester seems inexpli-
cable except upon the supposition that he still
feels a tenderness towards his rebellous breth-
rem, and wears the sword of the Union with
determination to make its edge as dull as posi-
be before it falls upon traitors in arms. Hay
ing been superseded by Gen. Banks, he now
retires from the service, not being, we are glad
10 say. assigned to any other command. lie had
better seek some obscure place in which to hide
from the indignant public sentiment that finds
universal exrresson against him.
