The Vermont National Guard is for
tunate at this time in having as com
mander-n-chief a gentleman who is in ac-
tive sympathy with all their hopes and
efforts for Improvement. Governor Dill
lingham and most of his staff officers were
present throughout the encampment. and
encouraged officers and men to do con
scientious WORK. Besides this good inhu-
ence, the whole social power of the State is
ranged on the side of the Guard. During
this encampment, Secretary Proctor, SEN
ators Edmunds and Morrill,, eX-Governors
Ormsbee, Pingree, Farnham, and Smith,
Col. w. Seward Webb, Lieut.. -Ctovernor
Woodbury. and other distinguished men of
Vermont showed their interest by their
presence

/ favorable to the National Guard should be
cultivated by the press of the state, to in
