BY EDWARD c. dana.

1t seems that Vermont overdid the
business in the matter of volunteers
under the first call for troops and
has already furnished the quota of
men demanded under both calls,
with few to spare. There are
Vermont boys scattered about among
other state regiments also, and with
these to her credit the state has done
all that could be expected of her at
present.

His love is the rainbow that shines through
