We give the comments of the Vermont
Press on the approaching soldiers encamp-
ment to be held at Rutland in August.
This occasion will afford an opportunity
to the soldiers to renew camp life,-relate
the experiences fthe campaigns through
winch they passed-renew the sports of
the camp-bind them together as campa-
triots in arms-and unite them as the pa
triotic sons of the Republic. The encamp-
ment will possess pleasing interest to the
public generally, and will undoubtedly
draw large number of people during the
week in which 1t Is to take place. --Montpe-
Her Journal
1t is proposed, in this reunion to gather
the veterans from all parts of the State.
The reunions in our state heretofore have
been those of the officers, but none of the
soldiers of the Green Mountain State. Bat
talions are to be formed in each county,
and recruiting officers for each town. Col
Haskins of Brattleboro has been appointed
battalion commander for Windham coun-
ty. It will no doubt be gala OCCASION
Bello,os Fails Times.
The promise of good time for those
who participate is excellent We believe
the only organization in this county Is in
Middlebury. Most of those who went
from this vicinity, we are informed by
surviving officer, never returned The
county could muster a goodly number of
boys in blue, and we hope they will at
once take measures to organize and secure
a generous representation at the contem-
plated gathering in August. Vtryennes

We refer elsewhere to a soldiers reunion
to be held at Rutland next month. This
may be very agreeable occasion that is
If men go there to renew acquaintance, to
tell over again chow they won the battle, !"
to sing the old camp songs, etc. But If
they go there as many go to a Fourth of
July celebration, to see how much whisky
they can bring away, and what great fools
they can make of themselves generally, the
soldiers reunion will do more harm than
good We think too we'll of our citizen-sol-
diers to believe they will do this, but SOL
diers are human, and temptations these
days are strong and very numerous. St

On our first page will be found an article
relating to the reunion of Vermont soldiers,
to take place in Rutland on the 9th, 7th
and 9Th of August 1t is expected that a
battalion of old soldiers will be mustered
in from this county, who will participate
with their former comrades in the tented
field in three days campaign, not of a
nature precisely like that experienced while
in active service, but calculated to cement
the ties which should ever bind associates
engaged in an enterprise for the salvation
of nation. Brattle6oro Union.
The following appears in the Arlington
correspondence of the Manchester Journal
The old soldiers here are moving in the
matter of the reunion encampment at Rut-
land, in August, and it is expected that a
good sized company will be formed here to
attend. AS this state is the first to in
augurate such movement there should be
a general assembly of all the veterans in
the state on that occasion and thus make it
a complete success and incite our neigh
boring states to do likewise.
