We are credibly informed, by persons from the State of Vermont (says the Worcester Magazine for the first week in May) that the leaders in the late rebellion, assembled, a few days since, a number of men, to the amount, it is said, of about 200, chiefly of those who had fled from this state; but the authority in Vermont ordered them to disperse, and they dispersed accordingly. It is said their intention was to come into this state and renew their nefarious designs. The conduct of Vermont, in this instance, and others, respecting the rebellion, is spoken of much to its credit. Rhode-Island! Rhode-Island only, as a state, is the only one that has, by its proceedings, encouraged treason and rebellion.
