The Veteran Regiments.

We have been much gratiied to learn that with
in the past ten days volunteering 10 fill up the Vet.
eran Regiments asked Of this State, has been de-
cidedy on the increase. The ranks Of these Reg
iments, it is now confidently expected, will soon
be filed. We trust, however, that no one who
loves the good name Vermont has already earned
for her promptness in putting troops in the field,
will remit any efforts to hasten the work Of com
pleting and preparing these Regiments for imme.
date service They ought now to be ready to Join
the army. They are needed a. the front. Had
General Meade's army been larger by 10000 men
than it was one month ago, Longstreet and Hill
could not have left Virginia to overwhelm Rose.
Grams in Georgia and while a requisition upon
Vermont for troops is not answered by us, we must
share in the responsibility Tor every disaster that
overtakes our armies in front Of the enemy Chick.
amauga Creek calls upon us TO make haste to gil
our quota. The battles are not yet all fought TIE
victories are not yet all achieved, that viii re
store the stars and stripes to their rightn plac,
over every foot Of rebellious soil and until Thu
work is all done, every Vermonter ought to be
ready in bis proper place, to labor for the grea
result. Vermont has enlisted for the war, be 4
longer or shorter, and has thus far noble record
and there should be no hesitation now. We hop,
we may be able to announce in few days, thai
the Veteran Regiments are full and organized
ready to report for duty whenever the Govern
ment needs their services.

We are now getting all varieties OF exciting ru-
mors respecting the purposes of The French En-
peror in Mexico, and bis feelings toward the
Southern Confederacy. As genera thing we
do not place much dependence upon these guess
es and the pretended information Of newspaper
correspondents, yet as a journalist it is oar DUTY
10 give them to the pubc,--or at least such por-
tons Of them US seem to be seriously put forth
by their autbos.-A recent telegram brings the
following sensation report
The Washington correspondent of the Herald
furnishes q statement, which that paper heads,
startling II true" to the effect that Stephens
mission to Washington was to consult with our
authorities as to whether satisfactory terms OF
compromise might be arranged so that the rebel
confedency might be saved the disgrace of invI-
ting foreign aid. The foreign aid is said to be an
arrangement with France, by which she is to CO.
operate with the rebels by her fleets and army in
exchange for the possession Of Texas, and Mr..
Stephens is now in Paris, it is alleged, efecIing
this arrangement.
The above is unquestionably all guess work,
though it is not Of course, impossible that there
may be some truth in it. There can be no doubt
that Napoleon would like above all things to make
acquisitions Of territory on this continents but
how far he would dare to 60 in the way of inter
yention, to accomplish that result, is not so Seli
ascsriained The rebels are in such stras as to
make them willing to purchase foreign ineryen'
ton at almost any sacrifice Of territory,-Ihough
they might lie troubled somewhat about the de-
livery of the goods-but that the Emperor Of the
French will hazard war with the United States
for the very remote chance Of enl1ging the boun'
daries of bis Mexican Empire, doesn't yet seem
probable. 1t is, however, one Of the contingencies
which our Government ought to take into the ac-
count
We have also by the steamship City Of Cork
from Queenstown the 7!b, the following
"A despatch from Paris, dated on the oh
inst, in the evening says the announcement re-
specting the vctualIing Of the Florida at Brast il
the .Monitew is supposed 20 be q still more ex
plicd declaration on the part Of France that IN
period Of neutrality is fully passed."
Tbi, item of news is not the peasaniest in th'
world. A nation with whom we are at peace
aud to whom we have given no occa'ion for any
but the kindest feelings towards US, receives ID
violation of its declared neutrality, the pirate
ships of our enemy into its ports, and permits il
there to be repaired, victuaed and furnished fol
a new career Of piracy and burning against ou'
commerce on every sea. 10 view Of such new
as this, it is not singular that there should b.
some apprehension of collision with the French
OF course our Government will avoid such cal
amity if they can with honor, until the rebellion
! is suppressed. Yet there are some indignltle
which no nation can submit to without astln
, disgrace, and i! i, by no means improbable tha
France may yet compel US into a foreign war

BY the arrival Of the u. s steamer Empire
City at this port, we have the following further
particulars respecting the siege Of Charleston,
At Hilton Head from which the steamer sasled
without crossing Charleston bar, report was in
circulation, which was traced to rebel sources,
that Gen. Gilmore, finding it almost impossible
to plant his guns on Wagner and Cumming
Point, IN the face Of a continuous fire from the
every hand, temporarily suspended the work,
and that he was led to DO it by the inactivity OF
she navy, which failed to support him.
A vigorous discharge Of shot and shell was
poured in continuous yolieyo from all tho rebel
works on Morris Island, causing mAy casualties
among our troops The enemy appear to be
very active in Fort Sumter. Steamers were seen
there laden, a. parently, with material to repair
the works, and the rebel 1ag was still flying on
the walls With the glass it was ascertaIned
that reinlOrcements were on these steamers, evil
IDENTIFY to add to the garrison
4 report also egaiIed at Hilton Head that
the difficulty between Gen. Gilmore and Ad-
mral Dahlerou had assumed shape which
would decide the fate Of the siege Nearly all
the labors Of the bomblrdmeni have hitherto
leyoIyed ON Gen. Gilmore forces, bu. to be
suGc ssful M the great object would require the
active cooperation Of the navy, which, it is
stated, has not been given.
