The VETERAN CoRrs-ERRoR CoRREc.
TED. The idea that the proposed corps Of
Veterans is designed for the benefit Of sol
diers retired from service, like the Corps Of
lnvalids, is entirely a mistake, the fact being
that the President has made requisition
upon Vermont for two new regiments and A
battery in all $3.50 men, This requisition
is as absolute as any requistion that has been
made, aud the men must be forthcoming
Ifnot secured by volunteering, then the next
best way will have to be adopted, which
doubtless will be draft. The honorable
privileges offered to old soldiers in this corps
are designed to facilitate the filling up OF the
regiments with experienced and brave men !;
but the Government does not rely upon these
alone. II they do not offer in sufficient num-
bers, the regiments are to be otherwise filled.
We call the attention Of town authorities to
this matter, and invoke them to use their in
Anence for the speedy execution Of this re-
QUESTION. Vermont has never yet been be-
hind in patriotism OF duty. Let her not be
behind COW.

The LOYALTY OF VERMONT Nearly COM
p!ete returns show that the Union candidate
for Governor is elected by about 20, 900 ma
jority. that the State Senate is wholly Union,
and that the House will show only seven
Copperheads. This is noble record. YER
mont is one Of the smallest States in the
Union, and by reason of its agricultural char
acter, as we'll as its distance. has a slighter
conneetan with the South than almost any
other. Yet no State has furnished so many
soldiers in proportion to its young men,
None has treated its soldiers with such liber-
atty; Tor it not only starts them with a com.
plete outfit 10 every needed comfort and med
icine, but has from the beginning engaged to
give every man Of them seven dollars month
during service in addition to Government
pay. No soldiers have fought with greater
bravery. A Vermont brigade heli the key
Of the position at Gettysburg, and did more
than any other body of men to gain the
triumph which decided the fate of the rebel
lion. To crown all we now have this crush
ing defeat Of Copperheadism at the ballot box
Twenty-three thousand in Vermont agains :

Gov. ANDREW JOHNSON AN ABoLITIoNIsr.
The Nashville Union gives the following
sketch of a speech made in that city on the
29th nit, by Gov. Johnson;
- In the course of his remarks to the large
impromtu outpouring of the loyal citizens
which assembled on Saturday night at the
Capitol to rejoice over the fall of FL. Sumter,
Gov. Johnson said that the heart Of the mass
es Of the people beat strongly for freedom
that the system Of negro slavery had proved
baleful to the nation by arruying itself against
the institutions and interests of the people (;
and that the time had clearly come when
means should be devised for its total eredica-
tion from Tennessee. Slavery was a cancer
on our society, and the scalpel o the states
man should be used not simply to pare away
tue exterior and leave the roots 10 propagate
the disease anew, bat to remove il altogeth-
er. Let as destroy the cause OF our domestic
dissensious and this bloody civil w9r. 1t is
neither wise nor Just to compromise with an
evil so gigantic.
He avowed himself unequivocaly Cor the
removal OF slavery and the sooner 1t can be
effected the better. Some Inconvenience
might, most Likely would. follow, tenn orari-
ly, but these would be more than compensa-
ted, by the grand impulse given to all our
interests by the substitution of free for slave
labor. II was for immediate emancipation
but emancipation at all events. He thought
that the benefit Of gradual emancipation,
was a good deal like the benefits conferred On
the dog in the fable, whose tail was cut If an
inch at time by humane surgeon, whose
kindness Of heart would not permit him to re-
move il at one stroke. He believed slavery
was a curse, and be wanted to see It wiped
out without delay. We would be stronger,
richer, and more prosperous, as soon as this
was done.
He in, oked be people to cast of the sla isl
tear which had hitherto sealed their lips or
this question, and speak and act henceforth as
freemen should. The slave arstocracy haC
long held its foot upon their nocks and ex
acted heavy tribute from them, even to rob
bling them Of free speech. Let the era %
freedom be nenceiorth proclaimed Is the non

above is Of course very imperfect sketch
