BURLINGTON
FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER I3. 1868

The order Of the Provost Marshal Genera
which we publish to-day, with the accomra.
nying assurance by Gen. Washburn, remove,
the last obstacle in the way Of hearty effort
on the part Of Selectmen and people. in tn,
work of raising volunteers under the last
cali. Without this guaranty though q
torn should furnish its full quota Of yolun-
tecrs, it might still be subject to a draft for
a deficiency in the District.-a consideration
not particularly stimulating to effort to pro-
cure volunteers. With it, all can take hold
confident that every man received will tell
for the benefit of the town-and that after
the town has raised its full quota it need
fear no draft.
We learn that the official communications
between the authorities at Washington and
Adj. Gen. Washburn do not authorize any
assurance that if the quota Of volunteers
under the last call is raised by the Fifth Of
January, there will be no draft for def
cicncies under previous calls. An
intimation to that effect has however
been given to the public from Washington,
which Is understood by many to indicate
that the 500 900 men last called for, will
satisfy the present needs Of the Government,
and if furnished will obviatc a draft Be
that as it may. it IL to he remembered that
the State has undertaken to raise two veteran
regiments and a battery-and that having
agreed to furnish them it cannot in honor
fail. At the very least We cannot stop short
of filling the Seventeenth regiment and the
Battery. These ought to be filed at once
and with veterans, leaving the raw recruits
to satisfy the requirements Of the last call
for 300, 900
Our work is therefore laid out, and it he
hoyes all in5ereste6-lnd who is MOTTO b.

The GREAT ORGAN.-The great Organ Just
opened in the New Music Hall, in Boston,
about which the 4" hub is all agog, cost, all
told. sos, 900, of which the cost of the case
alone was $4,000
The case, 4s feet wide and so feet high, is in
itself an art study. The whole front is black
walnut, relieved only by occasional touches Of
gold, and brilliant row Of FURNISHED metal
pipes; and almost every place where they could
be disposed, are grouped designs Of every sort
faces and figures both stern and grotesoue, typi-
cal and legendary, and musical instruments-
every thing in most perfect keeping. The two
immense towers, which, standing ont boldly on
either side Of the centre, first fx your attention,
are supported by two giant-hke hermH vhoee
muscular development is astonishing, yet, II
we're less they would seem unequal to their task
There are also on the sides Of these towers, two
heads Of lions which are most remarkable for
their herceness. Every design from the exouis-
ite figure of ST. Cecilia with her Tyre, surrount-
ing the whole. down to the honest fsoe Of old
Sebastian Bach. is carved with boldness and yet
with delcacy that is wonderful. The stops are
80 in number, and the pipes 5,474. The wind
is gathered and condensed in a huge reservoir.

The greatness and importance of an organ j.
not, however, to be measured altogether BY the
number Of its pipes. The York Cathedral Organ
boasts 5000 pipes, yet il is not great an organ
as our own, which lacks some 2, 500 Of that

Gov. Gilmore of New Hampshire, closes a
proclamation to the people ofthat State on the
subject ofraising the volunteers now required
for the service of the L. States with the fol-
lowing pointed remarks which, with change
of two or more names, apply equally well to
the people of Vermont.
1t is very evident that some who have
staid at home and talked war must, under
this call, report themselves for duty. 1t is
evident that those who have deprecated and
opposed the recent draft must now shew their
faith IN volunteering by their works. Men
of New Hampshire, We can NEE. this call up
on US before the first of January. and, God
helping US. We ,1iH do it. Women of New
Hampshire, it is your duty to say to the
husbands, brothers, sons and friends whom
YOUR influence has hindered from responding
t. the calls of their country go TO the
rescue or be accounted false to your country
and to God" Shall the Granite State, the
State of Langdon and Stark, prove recreant
