themselves in their real character more
clearly than we had supposed them capa-
bic of doing. If anything they could do
would disgrace the place where they live,
our town was disgraced by their conduct
on that occasion.
We understand that there was one 9TH

during the day, but we did not see it. As
whole the celebration passed off to the
satisfaction of all present, and, so far as
the people of johnson were concerned, to

Mr.. EDITOR After one has boarded
at the American House for few weeks it
seems like leaving home to leave such a
table as one always finds at Col. Keeler's.
Every day the boys are talking of the
kindness and respect with which the Col.
used them while we were there still the
boys were anxious to get into camp, and
when we started from there on Monday
last, they did not realize what they were
coming to here.
At Stowe we partook of breakfast fur
nished by the ever patriotic people of
that place. Geo. wilkins, Esq, made a
few remarks, which caused the boys to
cheer heartily, after which we once more
heard the command of "aH aboard" and
we started for Waterbury, where we took
the cars. Rain having commenced fall

rived nearly to our destination.
At White River Junction we partook
of an excellent dinner at the junction

mile and half from the Depot. We
found it beautiful spot and our tents

making nine companies now on the ground
We have got our guns and equipments
and it begins to look quite soldier like

HEADQUARTERS, Army of the Potomac,
camp near Harrison's Landing July 4th,
1862.-Soldiers of the army of the Poto-
mac,-Your achievements of the last ten
days have illustrated the valor and endu-
rance Of the American soldier, Attacked
by superior forces and without hope of
reinforcements, you have succeeded in
changing your base of operations by a
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 Mtion, skillfully massed and led.
Under every disadvantage of numbers,
and necessarily of position also, you have
in every conflict beaten back your foes
with enormous slaughter. Your conduct
ranks you among the celebrated armies of
history. No one will now question that
each of you may always with pride say,
81 belong to the army of the Potomac. ;"
You have reached the new base, complete
in organization and unimpaircd in spirit.
The enemy may at any time attack you
We arc prepared to meet them. have
personally established your line. Let
them come and we will convert their re-
pulse into final defeat. Your govern
mcnt is strengthening you with the re-
sources of great people. On this our
nations birthday, we declare that our
foes are rebels against the best interests
of mankind; that this army shall enter
the capital of the so called confederacy !;
that our national constitution shall pre-
vail, and that the Union, which can alone
insure internal peace and external securi-
ty to each state, must and shall be pre-
served, cost what it may, in time, treas
ure and blood.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, !
Brattleboro', July s, 1862.

BrattleborO', July 8, 1862.
To the people Of Vermom
The President of the
United States calls into the service of the
country an additional force of three hun
dred thousand men, and expresses the de-
sire that "they may be enrolled without
delay, so as to bring this unnecessary
and injurious civil war to speedy and
satisfactory conclusion ~
Each citizen should consider the appeal
as addressed directly to him, and at once
enquire what he can do for his country,
directly, if may be, and if not, indirectly,
by encouraging and assisting all able
and willing to take up arms and ad-
vance to the scene of conflict. Any one
can see that, even though our arms are
everywhere victorious, additional troops
are needed to garrison and hold the nu-
merous important points taken; and much
more are they needed to prevent or repair
reverses that may happen.
1t cannot be necessary to more than
remind the citizens of Vermont that the
crisis of the rebellion has come and that
by hesitation and delay, it may be allow
cd to lingcr aud invite foreign interference
in it's behalf, or by such new, prompt
and powerful rally to arms, as the loyal
people of the country are abundantly able
to make, it can be crushed and annihilat-
ed. The present, then, is no time for
hesitation or delay. Let the response
from Vermont be prompt and patriotic,
and in consonance with all her past histo-
ry. Let no young man, capable of bear
ing arms in defence of his country and it's
wise and beneficial government linger at
this important period in the war. Let
no one hinder those who are brave and
competent to fight the battles of the coun-
try, from going forth to that patriotic,
righteous and needful service.
1t is of the last Importance that the
resources and strength of our Government
should be now in large measure put
forth, and its power and stability fully
proved and firmly established. Let the
President of these United States feel the
Strengthening influence of our prompt and
hearty response to his late call for addi-
tional troops, and those brave men, our
fathers, brothers and sons, now in the
field, struggling to the death to uphold
our cause, be cheered and encouraged by
the intelligence that many more of the
&" Green Mountain Boys" are rapidly en-
rolling for the service of their country,
and will soon advance to its defence.
Much more might be said to you fellow
citizens, but few words to the brave and
patriotic is sufhclent. lime, now, is ev-
erything. Let there be no delay for
more convenient season. Let it be said
that Vermont is one of the first States to
respond with her quota-composed of vol
unteers, ready for the service
The 9th Regiment of Vermont Infantry,
now in camp in this State, will form part
of our quota, under the recent call for
three hundred thousand men. An order
from the Adjutant General of Vermont
will indicate the details of further neces-
sary organization.

such sentiments. Such men are traitors
to the constitution! II Mr.. Maynard ia

From All the Year Round. !
IInDCr.iShaDIe:

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulse to a wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth.
The longing after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry;
The strivings after better hopes,
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need,
The kindly word in griof's dark hour
That proves the friend indeed.
The plea for mercy, softly breathed,
When justice threatens high;
The sorrow of q contritc heart,
These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand,
The pressure Of a kiss,
And all the trihes, sweet and frail,
That makes up loves first bliss.
Ii with firm. unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
Those hand have clasped, those lips have met
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as it fell;
The chilling want Of sympathy,
We feel but never tell.
The hard repulse that chils the heart,
Whose hopes were bounded high,
In an unfa,ling record kept,
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work TO do;
Lose not q chance to wakeD love-
Be firm and just and true.
So shall a light that annot fade,
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee.
These things shall never die.
