The Forward March.

Gen. Mcclellan is purging Western Vir-
gina of secession and rebellion. He follows
victory with victory, and at the rate he has
pushed matters the past week, in one week
more there will be a clean field Yves. of the
Alleghanies. In his engagement with the
rebels, on Sunday, Gen. Garnet, their COM
nander was killed, and his force thoroughly
broken up and demoralized. Garnett was u
deserving major from the regular army. The
war news which We publish elsewhere is wor-
thy of careful perusal. 1t is of more I'M
portance than any we have heretofore given,
as indicating the manner in which the Boosted
chivalry are to be wiped out in this struggle
for the supremacy Of law and government.

are asking, why this delay? There is one
very good reason if no more. The Secretary
of War has not yet ordered the regiment for
ward. BY unremitting labor on the part of
those having this matter in charge, the req

for by the war department. Are the carpers

Ey We see it stated that Capt. Joseph
Bush Of Brandon. now with the 1st Vermont
regiment at Newport News, has applied for a
commission in the regular army. Capt. Bush
is born soldier, and has probably done as
much to keep the Vermont military alive as
any other man. We should rejoice to see
him in coed place, for We are confident that
he can fill such an one to his own credit and
the honor Of the State.

F The Democratic State Committee have
called State Convention at Montpelier the
c4th inst. to nominate State officers. The
call reads as follows:
CAS- the present condition of the country,
arising from the existing rebellion in por-
ton of the States, demands united action for
the suppression of that rebellion, the reStora-
ton of order and the maintenance Of the
Government and the Constitution, It is de-
sirable that the people assemble On this occa-
sion and by their deliberations give such di-
rectlon to the proceedings of the convention,
as shall best subServe the interests Of the
whole country and the honor of the State
This call would seem to intimate that the
convention that assembled at Montpelier last
month didn't do up the business quite strong
enough. In an editorial the Patriot Ia mis-
homer. by the wav) endorses the call, and
prophecies that a State ticket will grow
out of this convention that will be quite as
likely to stand first as second after the votes
are counted next September" Perhaps there
will but We are forcibly reminded just now,
OF how patriotic men but few weeks ago,
were wiling 10 ignore party aflini'ies and
join hands in supporting the Administration
against this wicked rebellion. We believe
there are such men now; but We don, count
the IrtTIOt man among them.

Conventions.

We give reports in this paper of three coun-
ty conventions-two in Essex, and one in this
county. The resolutions passed at each are
emnently patriotic, but tl-re is no fusion on
candidates. if We except the States attorney
ship in Essex county. The convention here
was not largely attended, owing partly to the
want Of sufficient notice, and partly to the
fact that every one supposed the last years
ticket would be put in denomination, as it was.
Politics is rather stale these war times.
