thought we should experience much dlihcni'y IN
raising new regiments and filling their ranks
While the present service costs the people or
Vermont only two dollars each per year we
should not talk too much Of economy.

soldiers If they are neglected will they not

that he was nos to-day on the battle-ground.
Mr.. Harris was fearful lest we should lose
sight OF the bill 1t was simply question of
expcdieucy whether we should grope about in
the dark. attempting to do the work CT future
! legislature. Because he refused to act to day On
II thing he was not obliged to act on for II
months, it was no indication he would not do SO

with the prerogatve of another session.
