ger of being severed, distracted, and DESTROYED

battle and by disease during the past year, anS
many. many more still suffer the pains OF NOR
tai wounds.
The President, an honest man, whose loyalty
to the Constitution We can all conhde IN, makes
another call upon us 10 furnish our quota OF
three hundred thousand able-bodied men, with
which to crush out this rebellion and put an
end forever more to disloyalty to the laws Of The
land.
Other nations are suffering because OF our
condition, and call loudly for All end Of th,
state of things in our midst, that their hungry
and naked thousands may again be fed and
clothed by the productions of our once prosper
Gus aud happy country They have no sympa-

show TO them and rebeldom uur force, moral

cruiting papers, or 70 De an officer, but enlist

Enlist.

We print call for meeting of our own cit
izsns to devise some measure ID mere ,se the rum
beers of enistnents lu MontpelI T. There is
need that something SHOULD be done. ls has
been our boast, thus far, that che army OF the
Union Is wholly compossi OF volunteers, ana
for the sake OF our good name lii history we hope
1t will remain true to the end. We hear no IN
timatIon from high quarters looking 10 draft
ANA We have no reason 60 suppose that one VIII
be rtsOrted to unless the fortunes of the rapub-
lie let infinitely more desperate than they are
now. Volunteers are still called Tor.
Vermont Is receiving enconiums on every side
Tor the promptness with which she has thus tar
responded to the call of the President. We
copy the following from the Albany Even'Mg
Jouradi:
GLORIOUS OLD VERMONT Vermont responds
eloquently to the call OF the President To that
gallant State belongs the honor Of putting the
first Regiment in the field under the new levy
We understand that another Regiment Is in
an advanced state Of organization, and will be
soon ready to muster into service.
Glorious Old Vermont The alacrity with
which she answers She appeal OF the Govern
ment puts our more lukewarm patriotism to the
blush.
We may well be proud Of such words of
praise. But it is a reputation that must be
maintained by filling the tenth and eleventh
regiments, or by and by We shall be reproached
for our hardness, instead of cheered for our
alacrlty. Can we kindle in any way the old
patriotic fire Chttendcn County reports al
ready &c men enlisted for the Tenth Regiment.
Perhaps as many as that have already volun-
teered in this County, buI, unfortunately for our
dispatch in filling company, they are about
equally divided between two recruiting officers,
and are to be formed into two companies, This
calls upon US for redoubled efforts that We may
not be behind IN the Tenth. Cannot Mont
peIier furnish twenty-five men for Mr.. Dllling
