VERMONT The officers and soldiers on the
tented field, and the representatives in Congress,
combined, is source of pride to citizen who
reside IN that State in which the star never sets.

Rev. J. Dougherty in response said
that there was every reason to encourage
us to believe in the re. establishment of
the federal authority, and the perpetuity

brothers ask their sisters if they may go
and fight for the Stars and Stripes, they
will "say nothing against it." If our
friends die in its support that is another
reason why our Republic shall live.

even SMELL Every body was crowded,
and at the Hotels one could hardly turn
round, and much less get breath of pure
air. The day was hot, and everybody
was sweating and painting for breath.
About half-past three the Guards and
the Invincibles, having marched once or
twice through the streets, met in sham
fight. The Invincibles took position in
the street near the Academy, and soon
the Guards made their appearance, armed
with lances, and charged up the street,
