This sum is not sufficient to warrant the Com

they have fixed upon the following plan; Sub
scrptious to be solicited between this and lpl5ih
day OF October ensuing, at which date the Com
mlttec will proceed to contract for the building OF
a monument to the extent Of the means ou hand.
1t therefore rests with the people of Caliowa, ira
whose defense he laid down his life, TO deteuuuc
the character Of the Monument to the Memory Of
David G. Brodcrick Those having subscription
lists in their possession are called upon To make
immediate returns thereof as full list Of all
donors and subscribers, as well as all delinquent
agents, will be published on or before The l5th OF

ought to be put into the field at the carlies
practicable moment. The question OF the war
costing two hundred millions OF dollars, more
less, for the next six months is Of no sort
consequence, provided that amount of Treasure
can be made to tell effectually in crushing trea
son and the quicker it is crushed the better, Il
nancially, for the country, no matter what maJ
be the figures Of the expense.
Vermont can do something towards this grea'
result which she has not yet done. While ",
were extremely grati6ed to learn that more mer
had been enlisted than were required to ill VI
the two regiments, which will give Vernon
four full regiments in the field, We extremely
regret that Gov Fairbanks does not at one,
raise the other two regiments which he had au-
thority to do at the extra session. These with
the Cavalry Regiment which is to be raised by
Col. Platt would only give Vermont 1000 troops
in the service OF the country. or less than her
proportion of an army of 100000.
The cost Of this army to Vermont, or the cost
Of the United States Army TO the Union, is a
mere tride in comparison to the loss of property
to tac country otherwise caused by the war, by
the prostraton Of business, the depression OF
prices. and the general distrust in financial
matters AS u matter Of the most rigid econo-
my, even as question of dollars and cents
leaving patriotism wholly out of the account
we ought to give at once men and money IN
sDaringlv to the Government. The sooner we
conquer peace, the sooner will tho Republic
move forward again on its old highway of pros
perity. Every branch of business will then at
once be revived. Our commerce can float again
on peaceful sea- The harvests of Missouri
and Virginia instead of being trodden under
meath the feet of hostile armies will again be
gathered to FIJI the granaries Of the loyal
citizens OF the United States. The life blood Of
the BODY poitic will then flow once more
through all the veins, giving strength 10 every
part of the system, instead Of as now being
compelled to feed and stimulate a single power.
Vermonters, If you desire the blessings that
shall follow q lasting peace, give now freely,
without stint, men and money to make the war
short, and the victory decisive and complete.

PATRIOTIC GlRLs.-A few evenings ago, some
boys at So. Barre built q fire near the stump OF
an old flagstaff in that village, aud played -
that they were burning Jeff. Davis. This very
seriously disturbed female g sccesIler' near,
who attempted to ex,insuish tho flames by pour
ing water upon them, and, as water was more
convenient than fuel and fire. was getting the
advantage OF the boys, when some half dozen
misses appeared in the field as reinforcement,
with shavngs and combustibles. A smart con j.,
fict with varying fortune was the result, till a,
the last the girls and the fire proved too much
for - secesaer " and the wa'cr, completely rout-
ing her, and the discounted female retired with
her bucket, leaving the IS Unionists - in undis-
turbed possession Of the field. Tho - allies -
heaped shavings on the flames, had fine bon
fire, and celebrated their victory in grand style
