INVADE NOT VERMONT.


Vile traitor, beware recoil from the thought
Rccoil, ere thy DEATH thy disaster be wrought;
Bevare, ere thy madness black sealeth thy fate,
Reflect, ere frever for thee It's too late.
The price is thy life,
Advance, at the cost
Provoke the wild strife
Thy being is lost
The vengeance Of Freedom shall never be stayed,
Her just indignation, be never Allsyod.
While sword Of foul treason dcfleth the State
Remember one moment how sacred the thought,
The blood q the fathers, the heritage bought;
The mantle Of Justice, the fathers did wear,
The scn now receveth, and Puardeth with care.
Dare not 70 advance,
Al thy peril invade
Ware far seeing glance,
On thee, Is now laid
Turn back ere thy death, thy disaster be wrought,
And battle o. Freedom and treason, be fought;
Return while thy day Of probation remains.
Warm course. the patriot blood thou wouldst drain
lis glowing for Freedom she thee. refrain
How firm Is the arm, thou in death would Vt lay low
Beware where 1t faIeth,--beware o. the blow
Hence traitor to right,
Fly hence in despair
Haste haste in thu fight,
Toward ueason's foul air.
Away. ere the vengeance Of justice pursue,
Back back to the dem hid this black scheme adieu
And turn 10 thy home. the dread home Of despair.

Doth establish thee in his righeousness.
II is the Lord yea, the Lord
Who is greatly to be praised,
Who maketh for thee thy peerless crown

And stand thou the Worlds great Delivetrt

OF every private interest, and all you hold

Gus work on hand. For the Mooch of war

now you must come and stand shoulder to

struggle. win you do it voluntarily or by
force is the question, will you ennoble your
selves by self-sacrifce, or blight your names

Rebel Franks and Rebel Strength.

News from Vicksburg shows that Gen
eral johnson, in Grants rear, is being rein
forced from the rebel army of Bragg in
Tennessee. News from Murfieesboro
shows that none of Blagg's troops have
left him, but that his army still fronts Ro-
secraps, and has even been reinforced from
Lees army in Virginia. News from Viz
GINA shows that Lees army has certainly
not been depleted, but it is asserted that it
has been enormously reinforced from the
west, from the vicinity of Richmond, and
from North Carolina. News from the lat
ter points show that the rebels are still
there in undated strength.
One cannot very conveniently credit all
these assertions. Either the rebels must
ding their armies across the continent like
footballs. or their soldiers must be counted
by the million, or we must be egregriously
bamboozled as to their strength at some
point.
We suppose there are dozen or fifteen
thousand rebels in Vicksburg, and twice as
many more under Johnson in Grants rear
we suppose Bragg has an army Of so,
900 men, or thereabouts; Lee may have
between seventy and ninety thousand; and
around Richmond, on the Rappahannock
James, ,Blackwater, and 10 North Carolina
the rebels may have thirty or tnirty five,
thousand more men. Even these moder-
ate figures run their numbers ip to quar-
ter of million; and if TO these we add
the force that they are credited with at
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Knoxville,
Bort Hudson and other points on the Mis-
sissippi river, and in Louisiana, Texas, and
Arkansas, in the trAns-Mississippi region,
we shall find TIE force attributed to The reb-
els to between four aud five hundred thou
sand men, which we do not believe they
exceed. or have, in fact.--Nep York
Times,
