Benefits to be Gained by EnlistimS
old Regiments.

Benefits to be Gained by EnlistimS in
Gid Regiments.
An old soldier, who has served sixteen years
in the regular service, suggests the following
facts as Inducements for volunteers to join the
old regiments.
Volunteers entering an organized regiment
win enjoy the following advantages
l. They will learn more in one month III an
old regiment than they will learn in four or six
months in a new regiment, for in the one case
every old officer and soldier is by precept and
example an instructor, while IN the other the
officers only are instructors, and ottentimes but
inexperienced and imperfect ones.
2. They will better escape the diseases of
camp life among old and experienced soldiers
than in newly organized regiments. Presum-
ing that inefficient and selfish officers, who have
neglected their men, have, to a great extent,
either resigned or been displaced, the officers
and men who remain in the old regiments have
learned by observation and experience the
means of preserving health, and will impart
their knowledge to the young soldier. In proof
of this, knew a Captain i'll the army of the
Potomac, who had been for years in the regG-
lar army, and through the campaign in Mexico,
who has not lost single man by sickness.
8. There will probably be less loss of life in
| battle in old organization than in a new one
| Experienced officers will be less likely to ex-
pose their men neediessly than experienced
ones. Old regiments will be less likely to be
thrown into disorder under fire. AS general
thing, the men will be better cared for if wound
| ed, because Of better organization for the care
of the wound and because the old surgeons have
had greater experience in the treatment of the
| sick and wounded.
L. Young soldiers in an old regiment will
share the glory Of veteran corps.
5. And finally, as it is presumed that all who
volunteer desire to render the most efficient
service to the Government, it is safe to say thai
ten thousand men distributed through the reg
iments now in the field will accomplish more il
the next six months chan thirty thousand organ
l lied into new regiments.

publishing the report ofthe adjourned War
Meeting held at Simmons Hail. Saturday even
ing Aug. I'd, as handed US by the Secretary, Mr.
Dresser. Although we dsapproved OF the action
OF the meeting, we did not consider it our duty to
refuse to publish the report Of such action. We
are Just as anxious hurry up the work of recruit
ing as any man can be, and when SO large major
itv Of our citizens voted FOR the publication Of the
names of subscribers who had refused or neglected
to pay their subscriptions, we would not mutIate
the official report by excluding such names
OF course, such men felt aggrieyed when they
saw the report, and Mr.. Bennett promptly called
at our office and ordered his paper discontinued
| on account Of it; thinking, doubt to punish the
people who voted the publication through U.s.
OF course, there was nottbe faintest inclination ON
our part to iniure the feelings Of Dea. Bennett, or
of any other of the persons whose names were pub
lished: They were all personally our friends and
patrons, and we did object to the form of the re-
port. but it was in consonance with the resolution
unanimously adopted by the first adjourned meet
ing, after the subscriptions were made.
According to the statement of Dea. Bennett we
think the committee were, perhaps, little hasty.
He informs US that he was in no sense delinquent,
as, when called upon by Mayor Robinson, he had
informed him that his subscription should be paid
as soon as wanted, for the purpose tor which it
was subscribed, and that the committee might
draw upon him for the amount at any moment the
money was actually wanted He also states that
Mayor Robinson left him apparently satisfied with
that arrangement. He was afterwards called upon
by young man, while he was busy and absorbed
in experimenting the shipment Of a cargo of wheat
and supposng that he had made a satisfactory ar
rangement with the Mayor, in the heat and dust of
the warehouse, lie had made the reblies attributed
TO him in the report, but with no thought of repu-
dating his subscription. On the other hand, the
committee had no alternative. They were appoint
ed by the subscribers themselves, purpose to
collect the subscriptions at once, and by given
time and to publish the names Of dellnquents with
the reason for non payment, if any should be Civ
en- Thus, we can't see that any blame attaches
to the Committee

The Woodstock Standard gives statis-

tant General. We copy, so far as relates
to Lamoille and Orleans counties. These
statistics are derived from the reports of
the listers, and if it becomes necessary to
draft, these statistics will form the basis
upon which it will be done, and if in any
case the listers have been rsmiss in per-
forming their duties and have failed to
report the actual number Of men raised,
their towns must suffer to the extent of
their shortcomings:
