The Second Vermont Regiment, which has
for three weeks been cncamped at Burlington,
arrived in New York Tuesday morning. via the
Hudson River Railroad. They were met on
landing although they came SO early, (about
6 l-2 o'cock,) by a large delegation of the sons
of Vermont, who escorted them to their quar-
ters at the Park Barracks, where arms were
stacked and breakfast disposed of as soon as
available. The camp was, during the forenoon
q busy scene. Friends hocked in rapidly to
greet old relatives and acquaintances, and the
provincial hemlock-the Vermont insignia of
patriotism-graced several regiments of civil
ians' hat-bands and button-holes, in honor of
the day. The regiment, like others from the
hardy North and East, commanded appreciation.
The men were all well behaved and intelligent,
while at the same time their stalwart frames be-
spoke tbs best material for soldiers. The uni
form is of servccable grey Most of the
muskcts are of the old-fashioned smooth-bore
pattern, which occasions great dissatisfaction |;
only one company is armed with rifles, and they
have the MIME. Many of the members vow
that they would almost rather stand up and be
shot than to be obliged to vanquish their enc
now have The excellent department of the
men contrasted strongly with the maudin
pranks of a corps of the Thirty first regiment
of this city, Col. Pratt, whose conduct brought
bushes to the cheeks Of many New Yorker.
The entire sobriety of the Vermont men was
none the less commendable in view of the sale
within the barracks of Refreshments" in viola
ton of all military rule and sadly destructive OF
discipline. The recruit can, in fact, get drunk
without going over the chains, and COL Van
Buren, owes it to good discipline to see that the
traffic is stopped. The Vermonters, however,
withstood the temptation-if, indeed, it be not
improper to suppose that they could be tempted
thus to overstep the bounds of propriety. They
exhibited their prudence by filling their haver-
sacks with fresh provisions, purchasing portable
filters, changing their paper money for silver
writing letters home, and otherwise improving
their time like reasonable men. The following
