The First Vermont Regiment.

We learn from our exchanges that the Jour-
ney of our Regiment from Rutland was con-
tinuaI ovation, At Granville, N Y, large
company of ladies and Union men assembled
about the depot, and as the cars whirled by,
salu,ed them with cheers and the waving of
Flags, and with benedictions. At Troy they
were met by the "Citizens' Corps" and es-
eorted to the residence of Gen. Wool. There
they were addressed by Hon ]. O. Griswold in
complimentary and graceful speech, and in
treduced to the brave Wool. The General
briefly addressed Col Phelps, who neatly re.
sponded tor himself and command. The Regi-
meat then partook Of late dinner at the Troy
House. In the evening they left for New York.
The Albany Atlas and -irgus says of their ap-
pearance as they passed through the city:
A Regiment of Vt. volunteers passed down
the Hudson River Railroad in the 9 40 train
from Troy last night, They are by far the f..
est troops we have yet seen among the volun-
teerS 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 lighting reputation OF

Wigfall said in the Senate last March that
the Union was dead and it rested with the Ad-
ministration and the Republicans whether it
should have Protestan burial or an Irish
wake The Administration, and the North
generally. had not at that time looked at the
subject IN the light then shed upon it by the
celebrated Texan clown. But the South have
adopted, doubtless, Wigfalrs view of the mat
ter, and not only that but they seem to have de-
termined to have the Irish wake any way, even
if il is necessary to murder the Union in order
to have the corpse ready.
But is it not now barely possible that in the
midst of their insane and drunken :. wake in
terrupting their hooting, and dancing, and yell
ing, the Union-nol the ghost of the murdered
Union, nor yet any miserable, reconstructed
Union, but the good old Union our Fathers
made-with the trown of just anger darken
ing its face, and the sharp sword Of ayenging
wrath glittering in its hand, may suddenly APP
pear to their afrighted vision, soaring their
glazing eyeballs. driving at once the fumes Of
whisky from their brains, and giving them the
most terrible proofs Of its vigorous life? There
may still be funeral and Wigfall with a halter
