In THE FRONT RANK However much evil
disposed persons may attempt to stigmatize
Vermont, this good old state has been true to
her antecedcnts as a loyal and patriotic com
monweath. She has already furnished more
than her quota of troops, and under the new call
she will bring one of the first, if not the very
first Regiment into the field.

In 1856, resolution was adopted by the
County Convention of that year, to the effect
that future conventions should be called as
Delegate Conventions that each town should
be entitled to one delegate and one additional
delegate for every 500 inhabitants, and one for
any fraction less than 500 and equal 10 or ex-
ceeding $50. The opportionment has heretofore
been based upon the census of 1850; but this
year it will be based upon that of 1860 This
change will account for few slight changes in
the representation as compared with preceding
years.
The following table shows the number Of
delegates to which each town in the county is
entitled under the call for this year,

The 9th Regt. was mustered into the service
of the United States yesterday "wednesday
afternoon by Maj. VIM. Austine, U. S. Muster
ing and Discussing Officer for this State. The
Regiment was reviewed in the morning by Gov.
Holbrook and the colors presented by him in a
brief and very appropriate speech, which was
handsomely responded to by Col. Stannurd in
behalf Of the Regiment, pledging their last drop
of blood in defence of the flag and to maintain
and restore the Constitution and Union.
Immediately after this the Regiment was in
spected by Adg't. Gen. Washhurn and Quar-
termaster Gen. Davis. The inspection was
very thorough, every gun handled, and it was
seen that every man had his proper equipments
and every article of clothing properly packed
in his knapsack. The entire regiment was thus
inspected, and the inspection completed in the
space Of twenty minutes.
This Regiment, to say the least, has not been
excelled in material by any Regiment which has
left the State. Brigade Surgeon f. E. Phelps,
who was especially detailed by the War De-
partment for the purpose has carefully inspected
every man and thrown out all who by reason
of any physical disability would be unable to
endure the fatigues incident to the service
Under the charge of its gallant Colonel the
Regiment is fast improving in drill and dsci-
pline.
We learn that at the request Of Gov. Hol-
brook, Major Thos, ii. Halsey, U. S. Paymos-
ter has been directed by the War Department
to come to Vermont to pay the non-commis-
stoned officers and privates of the 9th VT.
Regiment, each Sl3, or one months pay in ad-
vance, and that the Major is now in town for
that purpose. We further learn on similar re-
quest, the Secretary of War has directed Maj.
VIM. Austine, U. S Mastering and Disbursing
Officer for Vermont, who is now in town, in
discharge of his official duties, to pay to each
accepted non-eommissoned officer and private
OF the 9th Regt, the sum of twenty-five dollars,
