MORE TROOPS CALLED FOR.

N@Ae1a1A'D
The general government is in pressing need
of more men, the more speedily and effectually
to suppress this unnatural and wicked rebellion.
The ordinary casualties of the service, the great
draft made upon our troops in the field for
garrison duty in holding cities, towns, forts and
strategetic points already captured and won,
and the enormous extent to which drafting and
CONSUMPTION have been resorted to by the rebels
until their armies greatly exceed ours in size,
all combine to render it absolutely necessary
that we should put more men in the field. In
most of the Southern States nearly every able
bodied man between the ages of eighteen and
forty five is in the field, besides many on either
side of those ages. In Vermont we have
twenty-five thousand men left at home in this
State who are capable of and liable to do mill
tary duty. Were we to furnish men as the
rebels have done we should this day have thirty
instead of ten thousand men in the field.
In another column we publish, officially, an
Address of the Governor to the people of YER
mont, and General Orders with accompany
ing documents" from the Adutont General.
We trust every citizen of this State will read
and give heed to the excellent and spirited sem
timents of our Chief Magistrate, and all who
can by any attainahe possibility will come for.
ward and tender their services to their country.
1t is sacred duty we all owe our country to
give her our best efforts, and c pecially in a
time of danger and peril. viii our young men
then come forward and if needs be sacrifice
their convenience on the altar of patriotism
Thei services shall not go unrewarded. Gov
eminent is holding out rich inducements to
those who volunteer and the State adds liber-
ally by taxing those who have means and can
not go, to literally reward the patriotic volun-
teer.
Thus far Vermont, TO her praise be it said,
has not hesitated nor fingered in this patriotic
work. She has already more than her full pro-
portion of men in the field. First of all the
loyal States she has raised regiment under a
more recent call, and is now ready on her part
TO put it in the field. For our own fair fame
let it not be said that we cannot do anything
more now. The season of the year we know is
unproptious An unprecedented draft for an
agricultural State has already been made.
While the crops are Fastening to maturity men
are wanted at home for the abors of the har-
vest. But our country calls for our aid and we
cannot we dare not refuse it. 1t is to this
beneficient and paternal government that we
owe our freedom, our prosperity, and all the
countless blessings that surround US. Let us
then while opportunity offers endtavor to repay
that debt. Let us show TO the world that pa
triotism is not dead within us but is a living
enduring principle, actuatng all our conduct
Descendants OF Allen and Warren aud patriots

fought and bled and died to establish strong
the foundations of our national fabric, and that
it is not only your duty but your privilege to
preserve this beautiful edfce now that its safety
is endangered by the surging pillows of delu-
siye treason
