THE SESSION OF THE LEa1sLArUsE

The General Assembly of the State of Ver-
mont will assemble at Montpelier on the second
Thursday this month-October 10th. How
long it viii! continue in session depends chiefly
upon the members themselves. They can make
it long or short session as they desire.
We trust the session will be a short one
The Legislature should set the example of
prompt, vigorous decisive action. The great
subject for consideration is the ways and
means by which Vermont shall do her full share
in aiding the general government in suppress
sing the gigantic rebellion now raging This
is the engrossing, paramount subject for con-
sideration and action, and before it others sink
into comparative insignidcance. OF course
there will be necessity of an examination into
the action of our military authorities during
the past six months there will be some Bank
applications to be considered, some town lines
to look after, and hundred other things that
will be introduced and referred to Committees,
But all of these that are not OF immediate,
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1861-10-03
rup ASPECT OF THE WAR.

Missouri seems to be in decidedly bad way
inst now. Since the rebels conquered Lexington
and defeated Mulligan they have had things
nre,tv much their own way. They are assem-
him from all quarters to the number of 10000
or more. and to dislodge them from Lexington
and drive them back will require q larger force
than the federal government can now muster in
that section. There are several screws loose
somewhere but through whose fault doth not
vet distinctly appear. ID will require great
deal of bloody work to clean out the ruffians
who now infcst the Stae.
In Kentucky whatever advantages have yet
been gained are chiefly on the side of the reb-
els. There are enough loyal men in that old
commonwealth to protect her rights and inter-
ests, but they are not armed nor are they likely
TO be soon. During the famous neutrality" Of
Gov. Magofin the rebels got all the arms in
the State ard control of some of the strongest
positions Were sufficient arms to be immcdi-
atcly obtained whercwith to arm the Union
men we think Kentucky could take care of
herself.
Western Virginia is pretty much cleared OF
rebel troops Generals Wise and Floyd do not
seem to have been able to cope with Rosecrans,
so they retired to save their necks. Poor Wise!
with tho aid of fodoral troops he was able to
capture John Brown, and with the help of all
the militia of Virginia to hang him. Since
that exploit he has imagined himself a.mitary
genius, and has becen thrsting for military dis
tinction. But in very short time he found
himself played out and now he is skulking
about no one knows where. Floyd will never
expose himself to any risk of capture stealing
being his "fort," as Artemus Ward would say.
he will steal away rather than fight.
In and about Washington there is nothing
new that is important. Our forces have made
an advance of a few miles and occupy ground
that was ours before the Bull Run affair. The
rebels retreated without firing farewell gun.
Where they are gone to no one knows, but it
is generally believed that they have fallen back
upon their old strong. hold at Manassas, where
they will again be ready TO welcome us with
bloody hands TO hospitable graves" We hard
ly think Mcclellan will be caught in trap that
has been sprung once.
On tile whole there is nothing particularly
encouraging to our side that has occurred dur
ing the past week. We,have gained no advan-
tage anywhere, while we have lost ground in
Missouri and Kentucky. If this war is to be
brought to close in any decent season more
troops must be put into the field. and these
troops must be supplied with arms. Men and
and guns are what is wanted, ard the faster we
get them the sooner will the rebellion be crush
cd out.
