Gen McClellan's Address to his Army.

The address of Gen Mcclellan to his sold
iers on the 4th of July, which will be found
in another column, has in it the ring of the
true metal. AS long as our commander is
hopeful and undaunted, how can the soldiers
end the people be otherwise? He expresses
unbounded confidence in his army and great
love for the cause in which they are engag-
ed. Without single word of censure for
those WHO have held back reinforcements and
cheated him out of great victory, he puts
on the best face and declares TO them that
"your government is Strengthening you with
the resources of great people," "You have
saved all your material "you have in eve
ry conflict beaten back your foes with enor-
nous slaus hter"-"you have reached yonr
new base unimpaired in spirit" ID have
personally established your lines-let the en-
envy come, and we will convert their repulse
into final defeat" And then the stirring
appeal made in the last paragraphs:
son this our nations birthday, IRE declare
to our foes rho are rebels against the best in
terest of mankind, that this army shall ente,
the capital ofthe so-called contederacy; that
oar National Constitution shall preraH, and
| that the Union, which alone can insure inter-
nal peace and external security to each state
must and shall be preserved, cost what 1t may
| in time. treasure and JlOOI"

fatal blow

The saddest part of this series of battles is
the precious lives that have been lost, and
the large number of our wounded that have
fallen into the hands Of the enemy. 1t is a
terrible story of suffering and slaughter, and
will, if it has not already, carry the keenest
anguish into thousands of families scattered
throughout the North. The light Of many a
home went out in and about the great white
oak swamp of Virginia in the last few days
Of June. Let the afflicted be sought out, and
the sympathizing tear shed with those who
have given their all that We might enjoy the
blessings of free and loyal republic.

The New Call for Troops.

We publish elsewhere the official call for
another (the Tenth) regiment. The condi-
tons, pay, bounty, ETC., are made very expli-
cit and so plain that every one can under
stand the whole matter. We have reached
the crisis in this rebellion. 1t must be put
down now or never. By CONSUMPTION the
rebels have raised an immense army; this
army has already been cut to pieces and is
now well nigh demoralized by the terrible
engagements of the past two weeks. \ hun
dred thousand more good soldiers to-day
would make success sure; and Gen McClel-
Ian would march right into the rebel capital
Delays are dangerous; foreign intervention
is already threatened, and if the federal army
delays to enter Richmond mary weeks lon
ger, it may reasonably be expected. Push
on the recruits, and end the war by vigor-
Gus, well directed blow.

A week has given US time to post up and
see where We stand in regard to our army on
the Peninsula. Although it has not entered
Richmond "a circumstance which we all
greatly regreD it is now in much better
condition than the reports of one week ago
would lead us to apprehend. Gen McClel-
lan's address to his soldiers on the 4th of Ju-
ly states the case as concisely as it can be
given. 1t seems that the rebels, being great
ly reinforced, made a desperate and deter
mined attempt to drive the Union army from
the Peninsula. BY their overwhelming num-
bers they were enabled to bring fresh troops
continually to bear upon our lines, and this
they did day after day for six successive
days. They were driven in every engage
ment, until apparently dispirited and con-
WINGED that they could not break or drive the
Union lines, they ceased to attack. Not.
outstanding our great losses, our troops are
in good spirits, and have already recon-
menced their advance upon Richmond. Late
news mentions that Gen Burnsides entire
army is in motion to cooperate with Ger
Mcclellan in the advance. Very likely For
Darling will be cleaned out by a land force
so that we shall soon see our army marching
on to the rebel capital, escorted by those val
liable auxiliaries, the gunboats in James riv
err. If Gen Mcclellan is reinforced in sea
son, Richmond will surely fall.

Soldiers of the Army Of the Potomac -
Your achievements of the last ten days
have illuminated the valor and endurance of
the American soldier. Attacked by superior
forces, and without the hope of reinforce

your base of operations by flank movement
always regarded as the most hazardous of
military expedients.
You have saved all your material, all your
trains and all your guns, except few lost
in battle, taking in return guns and colors
from the enemy.
Upon your march you have been assailed
day after day with desperate fury by men of
the same race and nation, skilfully massed
and led. Under every disadvantage of
number and necessarily of position also, you
have in every conflict beaten back your foes
with enormous slaughter
Your conduct places you among the ce!e-
brated armies of history. No one will now
question that each of you may always with
pride say, 81 belonged to the Army of the

OFFICIAL CALL FOR MORE TROOPS
STATE OF VERMONT.

STATE OF VERMONT.
Executive Department.
Bra,tleboro, July j, 1862.
To the people of Vermont -
The president
of the L nited States calls into the service of
the country an additional force OF three
hundred thousand men, and expresses the
desire that they may be enrolled without
delay, so as TO bring this unnecessary and
injurious civil war to a speedy and satis.ac-
tory conclusion.
Each citizen should consider this appeal
as addressed directly to him, and at once en-
quire what he can do for his country. direct
". if may be, and if not, indirectly. by en-
couraging and assisting those able and will
ing to take up arms and advance to the
scenes of conflict. ANY one can see that
even though our arms are everywhere victo-
rious, additional troops are needed to garri-
son and hold the numerous important points
taken and much more are they needed to
prevent or repair reverses that may happen.
1t cannot be necessary to more than BIZ re-
ly remind the citizens of Vermont that the
crisis of the rebellion has come and that by
hesitation and delay, it may be allowed To
linger and invite foreign interference in it:
behalf. or by such new. prompt and power
full rally to arms, as the loyal people Of the
country are abundantly able to make, it car
be crushed and annihilated. The present
then is no time for hesitation or delay. Lee
the response from Vermont be prompt anl
patriotic, and in consonance with all her pas
history. Let no young man, capable OF bear
ing arms in defence Of his country and Its
wise and benefcent govern nent, linger a
this important period in the war. Let NJ
one hinder those who are brave and compe
tent tc fight the battles of the country, from
going forth to that patriotic, righteous ant
needful service.
1t is of the last importance that the resour
ces and strength of our government shoulc
now in large measure put forth, and it
power and stability fully proved and firmly
established. Let the president of the United
States feel the strengthening influence of ou
prompt and hearty response to bis late cal
for additional troops, and those brave men
our fathers, brothers and sons, now in tn
field, struggling to the death to uphold on
cause, be cheered and encouraged by the in
telligence that many more of TIE "Greel
Mountain Boys" are rapidly enrolling for tn
service of their country, and will soon ad
vance to its defence. Much more might b,
said to you fellow citizens, but few word
to the brave and patriotic is sufficient. Tim
now, is everything. Let there be no della
for more convenient season. Let it b
said that Vermont is one of the first state
to respond with her quota-composed of vol
unteers, ready for the service.
The 9th regiment of Vermont infantry
now in camp in tbs state, will form part O
our quota, under the recent call for tire
hundred thousand men. An order from tn
adjutant general of Vermont will indicate tn
details Of further necessary organization.

PERSoNAL.-Charles Carleton Coffin, better
known as Carleton" the war correspondent
of the Boston Journal, was on visit to Lit
Teton last week. where, on solicitation of the
citizens, he met them in a public hall and
gave graphic account of the battle of Fort
Donnelson and the naval engagement at
Memphis. The Journal says that his descrip-
ton of the latter battle was extremely graphic
and electrifying, and the fact of his being
present and an eve witness of the whole ter
rifle scene, added much to the interest Of his
narration. He has now gone to join Nc
Clellan's army, and the Journal readers have
already heard from him again.
The President ordered the unconditional
release of c. G. Fulton, editor of the Balti-
more American, who was imprisoned for tel
eglaphing from White House some news re-
speeding the battles before Richmond.
