The daily Green Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1861-1865, 1862-04-04

Newspaper reporters are to be excluded, by
positive orders of Secretary Stanton, from the
Army Of the Potomac. 1t is not proposed to
furnish the public with any thing but official
bulletins of the progress Of the Federal cause
there. Under this state of affairs the public
will have an opportunity to practice the virtue
OF patience. But will the War Department
also stop sending soldiers letters through the
mails? If not, we may occasionally, as bereto-
fore, get news that hasn't the government stamp
upon it.

compositions seethe together. The very
principal OF is structure i fatal 10 conference
and the right of secession nothing less than
a permanent declaration OF suicide. One OF
the late futile debates Of lis fantastic Con
gress brought out the plainest and boldc-t
expressions Of what would be treason under
any strong and regular government. The
representatives fron three several states dis
tinctly denied the authority Of any central
power, Foote asserting that Tennessee would
send soldiers only upon tie grant OF peculiar
privileges, Wigfall maintaining that there
vas no such government as the confederacy
10 which allegiance is due. and Hill declar-
ing that such allegiance belonged first and
always 10 tho separate state; the courts IN
Georgia having decided that the conscription
act has no force within her borders.
Now all this. however surprising il may be
