Event Details
Notwithstanding it has been asserted in the public papers, that unanimity subsists in the territory of Vermont, between the adherents to the York and Vermont interests, the contest of late is renewed, and with such bitterness as will in all probability put an end to the quietude they have hitherto enjoyed. The Government of Vermont have raised and embodied a number of troops, under the command of Gen. Wait, whose present rendezvous is said to be at Brattleborough. To oppose whom, a body of troops is said to be collected and collecting at Guilford, with such appearances of determination, as soon to render a serious action inevitable. Reports say that several shots have been exchanged between them by skirmishing parties.
