The GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION

We are glad to see the Proclamation of
Gov. Hobrook, and the Adjutant Generals
order for recruiting the 10th regiment Of
Vermont volunteers. We hope and we be-
lieve the response will be worthy Of the
name which fr IN the earliest days of their
history until now the Vermonters have al
ways borne for promptness, activity and
courage whenever the cause Of their country
has called them to the field. Vermont is but
a small State but in love for their country,
in lust appreciation Of the righteous cause
they are to sustain, and Of the duty Of every
good citizen to neither hold back his hand
nor himself, when his country honor and
weliare-still more when its national life
itself-is ut stake. the men OF ' ermOnt fall
not a whit behind any Of their loyal couu-
trymen. They understand well the origin
and purposes OF the stupendous rebellion
which the government has to put down by
force Of arm on q scale Of operations never
before seen on this continent - hardly
