And now, men of Vermont, the last OPP
portunity is afforded you to furnish without
draft, the quota assigned TO the State.
The country calls for men to preserve its
existence. Let every man feel that the call
| is addressed to himself. Let the egiments
| that are sent out from the State still bear
the proud title of Vermont Volunteers. Fill
the old regiments. They have stood the
brunt of the battle like wall of iron, and
they demand, that their ranks be replenish-
ed. Fill the uniform companies Of active
militia. They W, re the first to respond to
the nations call, and thereby earned place
in the history of the State, of which they
may well be proud. Again they are called.
Let them leave the State with full ranks,
and with the feeling, that they carry with
them the fervent regards of determined
people. Furnish the men that are required
to complete the quota And let it be re-
corded, in the history CT this war for nation
al life, that Vermont cheerfully performed
her whole duty, and that, although draft
was ordered. no draft was found necessary.

BOLD CONFIDENCE GAME.-Some graceless
scoundrel has, for the last five or six weeks,
been making use of the names of our towns
men, Hon. Levi Lincoln, and his son, d.
Waldo Lincoln, to swindle various individu-
ais in Newark, n. j., Philadelphia, and prob
ably in other places. The plan adopted is
this A stranger, assuming the name of d.
w. Lincoln, calls upon some old personal
friend and former political associate of Gov.
Lincoln, represents himself as upon journey
to or from Washington, and as having been
robbed of his money by pickpockets. In this
manner he has recently swindled distin-
guished and venerable citizen of Philadelphia
Of considerable sum of money, and has inn
posed himself upon two gentlemen in New
ark, n, j. 1t is feared he has succeeded in
other instances, and is still operating in his
schemes of defamation and plumber.
No member Of Gov. Lincoln's family has
been out of this state since March last, or dur
ing the period of these nefarious operations.
Fortunately, Mr.. Lincoln's character and cir
cumstanceS are such as to entirely preclude
the necessity or suspicion of such an appeal
for pecuniary aid to strangers, under any such
circumstances. Whoever has or may thus
use the names of either of our respected
neighbors and fellow citizens may be safely
arrested and punished as vile syindler, i'm
poster, and thief.

CITY AND COUNTY.

The CONCERT To-NIGHF.-Positiyel the
last concert for the season of the Mendelssohn
Quintette takes place this evening, at Brinlev
Hall The programme forms a fit conclusion
to fine series, each successive concert being
in advance of its predecessor. Nine instru-
ments are to blend their varied tones in sever
al excellent pieces, among which is grand
composition of Spohr, designed to bring out
the beauty and richness of each instrument.
and to combine all in the highest musical eff
fects. Strings, wood, reeds and metal will
exhibit their choicest tones and scientific skill
in their management will be displayed both by
author and performer. These pieces for spe-
cal instruments are so rarely given, and are
withal so admirable in effect that no lover of
music should fail to seize the opportunity of
hearing them. The full symphony has its
peculiar charms, but it pays no special respect
to the capabilities of particular organs of
sound, while the quartette and its series. up to
the nonette, gives each instrument an equal
chance to assert its peculiar claims to admit
ration.
Wulf Fries, with his violoncello, Schultze
with the violin, and Goering with the flute,
will individually claim our attention in solos.
1t is quite superfiuous to eulogze such as
| these.

cording to the dispatches of the messenger
who brought us the news. Through the
kindness of Capt. Williams, your correspond
ent, in company with Mr.. Clark sutler Of the
25th, and a reporter, was permitted to go
ashore for the news We found that we had
been rightly informed, and that the town OF
Norfolk was taken by detachment OF troops
under the personal command of Gen. Wool;
that the town was garrisoned by SIX thousand
troops; that Gen. Viele had been appointed
military governor of Norfolk that the Merri
mac had been blown up; and various rumors
that you will hear before the exact truth will
be aScertained. President Lincoln, who has
been here for the last three or four days, wit
Messing the naval movements, was on the
wharf, just taking passage for Baltimore, and
was, of course, enthusiastically cheercd.
Crowds Of people lined the shore, watching
the movements of the fleet, and anXiOusly
waiting to catch the news from the ever active
tug boats as they ply from ship to ship to re-
ceive and carry orders, as busy as a colonies
orderly" Altogether it was gloriously eX-
citing, and we all thought we were very fortu-
nate to put in here at just this time for this
we can number with our recOllections of the
war. We were thar at the death of the
Merrimac.
While ashore, we went inside the fortress,
yet will not trouble you with any attempt at
a description Of its immense size and strength,
the number of its ponderous guns Of every
caliber its thousands Of tons of shot and
shell, its remaining garrison of well drilled
regulars. and its important and commanding
position. Sufficient to say we think it will
last not only for this war, but 'for all time. -
Steamers and transports are constantly leay-
ing, putting out past Scwalrs Point loaded
with soldiers and ammunition 'bound for
Dixie and now we realize as we see them
pass the kennel OF the rebel war dog-Mcrri-
mac-unharmed and uninSulted, that truly the
dog is dead. Having received sailing orders
at half past two p. NJ. we weigh anchor and
are again off for Newbern; the wind is north
east and the sea very rough, making it al
most sure that some of us will lose our din
ner, or at least feel inclined to turn in face
down and keep quiet. We are just boarded by
a naval officer of commodore Goldsborough's
staff who informs us that the Monitor and the
Naugatuck have sailed for Richmond. Thus,
as we record another Sabbath days labor,
another victory and its welcome intelligence,
should our hearts turn to Him who alone
giveth victory to our arms, and whose aid we
implore in our efforts to restore to this whole
people the inestimable blessing of govern
ment reared upon the noble foundation of lib
erty. A.H.w.

TENNEssEE.-This state, under the lead OF
the gallant Andrew johnson, promises to come
out Of its trials with flying colors. One of the
largest Union gatherings held within its limits
since the time of Andrew Jackson was held in
the state capitol at Nashville on Monday, 18th
inst. 1t was attended by thousands of citizens,
who were enthusiastic over the addresses of
Gov. Johnson Gen. VIM. B. Campbell, Col.
VIM. II. Polk, brother of the ex-president,
and other speakers of wide reputation and
great influence. The conditional Unionism
which has so many representatives in other
border states, and at Washington, found little
favor among the staunch patriots of Tennes-
see. Col. Lew. Campbell, of one of the Ohio
regiments. formerly free soilmember of con-
gress, now a renegade to his early faith, was
the only speaker at this meeting who thought
it necessary to insult the public sentiment of
the free states, and he undoubtedly received
the contempt of his hearers for his pains.

MIssoURI.-There is steady and constant
growth of opinion in favor of emancipation
throughout Missouri. In Hannibal, the cen
ire Of one of the heaviest slaveholding coun-
ties in the state, an important meeting was
held few days ago, to dovise means for cs-
tablishing settled policy upon the subject.
Those who were foremost in this meeting, ac-
cording to the St. Louis Democrat, themselves
Shareholders, represent a growing opinion in
new quarter in favor of Kidding the state of its
greatest burden. They are sober-minded,
practical men, who perceive that her position
now repels all valuable immigration, and that
the only path of wisdom for her to tread leads
through emancipation. The Hannibal district
contains, by the census of 1860, upwards of
10000 slaves.
