meetings and conventions of the democratic

men in all parties, and above all, on the kind
Providence of Him in whose hands is the

We appeal 70 the people of Vermont t
work not for any political party, at the en-
suing election, but for cur country, /,
strengthen its army. There are yet man,
good people who do not fully appreciat,
the crisis in which we live. We appeal /,
them to wake up from their 1ethargy. The
North have mainly Slept during the frs,
year Of the war, and as consequence, we
must now more than double our efforts.
Our country and its government can be
saved only by the hearty, united and cor
dial efforts of the North. After month
of the greatest darkness which has ever
hung over this ccuatry, the gray of morn
ing again appears. Victory perches on
our banner at Cedar Mountain, and an
ari Of 100000 men is called for, with
which to strike the last overwhelming blow.
There is no use in stopping to find fault
with what has been done, or pitching into
this and that general, and still less into old
political parties. Frown down and tram
pile under foot every effort to revive or sus-
tain old political issues. There is no good
in such efforts, but great amount of evil
and mischief.
1t our government is ruined, we shall
all go down in the same wreck. Save the |
country and we save ourselves.

# man hesitates, encourage and nerve |
him up to the genuine feeling Of patriotic
devotion to his father-land. Work without
looking back, and until we see the wave of
rebellion receding, and do not stop then,
till that wave has been hurled into the
gulf Of Mexico. Remember that your
work must all be concentrated upon the
single idea of strengthening our army and
this work must be done Immediately.
Work now, before it shall be too late.

UTTER ROUTE OF THE REBELS.
The most important war news this week
is great battle fought at Cedar Mountain,
Culpepper, Virginia, on Friday last week,
between Gen. Banks and Stonewal1 Jack
son. 1t was hard contest, and at first
seemed to have been indecisive, though our
troops held their ground. But later ac-
counts leave no doubt that il was an impor-
tant victory for the national cause, as Jack
son asked permission to bury his dead and
afterwards retreated and was pursued
Gen. Pope Came up, With Seigel and part
of McDowell's forces, thus reinforcing Gen.
Banks. 1t is said also that Burnside is near
Jackson's rear, tearing up the Virginia Gen.
trail Railroad, which cuts off the rebels from
one of the best communications with Rich
mond. The whole affair looks encouraging,
and the rebels have no doubt suffered an
check.
Our loss is some 1000 killed, wounded
and missing. and that of the enemy is great
er. Gen. Banks won much honor for his
bravery, and has been highly complimented
by the President.
LATER AND BETTER i-The retreat of
he rebels proves to have been a perfect
out. Their flag of truce was ruse for
ime to get out of the way. In their old
lamp was found their dead and wounded.
md also some prisoners which they had ia
Ken from US and abandoned. A portion of
he Vermont Cavalry were engaged in the
pursuit, and swan river, the rebels hay- |
ng burned the bridges. The rebel loss is
.ow set at 10000.

celient speech, being in the main composed
IT solid arguments against the course Of
rebeldom, and the great and Immediately
urgent necessity of "a rally to arms" Hon.
j. Dorr Bradley then came forward and
gave very solid argument on the necessity
OF sustaining our blessed country in this
her most trying hour, and dealing quick and
numberess blows "upon the back of all
rebeldom" in such manner that this wick
ed rebellion be soon brought to an and.
Chas. Cummings, Esq, of Brattleboro

the meeting, and the necessity of immedi

a vigorous and determined prosecution Of
the war against southern rebellion, and
against treason wherever found, Capt. Il.

five minutes, made an earnest and eloquent
appeal to the young men to rally for the
defence Of their country, and their coun-
try's flag.
Hon. Daniel Kellogg was next intro
duced, whc made one Of lis best and ablest
efforts--drawing clear and faithful con-
.rast between freedom and slavery-the
superiority of free over slave labor, and the
necessity Of the former to the growth and
prosperity Of states and nations. He show
ed that the notification attempted thirty
years ago in South Carolina was secession,
and that its terminating principles had at
length eliminated in the present rebellion.
And that the government had been alto
gether too lenient with southern traitors and
their northern sympathize,s. He urged the
necessity of more effective measures by the
government-applauded the patriotic iber.
atty so universally manifested by the la
dies in aiding our soldiers by their dona-
lions Of the necessaries and comfort. of |
life, and encouraging and strengihning them
IN thtir trying circumstances. His speech
vas clear, patriotic, logical and well-timed
and was listened 20 by the
rowded audience with profound attention.
Hon. j. d. Bradley followed elecrrify-
ng the audience by his happy faculty of
demonstrating his ideas by fitful illustra-
ions and amusing anecdotes, visiting upon
he southern traitors and their cringing al
les the most vituperative anathemas his
rolific genius was master of. The whole
'as grand success, tending to rekindle the
atriotic spirit of devotion to freedom and

Judge Stoddard was accordingly nomina
ted on the I'd ballot.
The committee for that purpose reported
the following as county committee, being
the same as last year ]. C. Richardson
NJ. +. Ballou, W. W. Barney, S. E. Wheat
J. C. Sears.
Mr.. Haskins, from the committee on res
olutions, made the following report, which
was unanimously adopted -
Resoteed, That we heartily approve Of
the resolutions adopted by the state conven-
ton, held at Montpelier, on the 9th Of July
last.
Resotted, That we approve of the recent
order for drafting to swell the ranks of the
Union army, and the order for the arrest of
those who seek to evade it. and we will lend
our utmost aid for the enforcement of said
orders.
Rssotced, That we deem it the paramount
duty of all men to sustain the administra-
ton in the present emergency, without
ohy or scherefore. and we deem it the du
ty of the government to prosecute this war
for the suppression of the rebellion. and if
in so doing, the institution of slavery is
blotted out of existence, such result will
be attributed to the cursed rebellion, and
we say amen to it.
/. Resolped, That we commend to the free
men of Windham county the ticket this day
nominated, and will use undivided efforts to
secure its election.
/ MIR. Haskins suggested that change
should be made in the basis of choosing del.
egates; that they should be elected accord.
ing to the number of Union votes cast, and
not according to population, as now, and
| thus increase the number of the convention
Mr.. Walker, of Grafton, also favored SINH.
lar action.
Mr.. Stoughton thought the basis should
be on the total number Of votes cast. for he
did not think the secesh vote of Vermont
would be large enough to be of any account.
He took occasion also to express his appre-
citation for the unexpected position which
the convention had placed him in, that day.
We could not now sustain the democratic
party,,or any other party, and all should
unite for the one grand purpose of sustain
ing the government. Every man should
put shoulder to the wheel, and he did not
care if it was negro.
Mr.. Bridgman opposed any action to
change the basis of representation, on the
ground that most of the convention had left,
and it would be unfair for a mere fraction
of the convention to act on matter of so
much importance.
The matter was finally referred, on mo-
tion of Mr. Campbell, of Putney, to COM
mittee of five, who are to report at the con-
vention next year, and the president ap-
pointed as such committee, the following
persons E. B. Campbell, j. d. Bridsman,
Lewis S. Walker, kittredge Haskins, and
Z. +. Kellogg.
The convention was then adjourned
without day.

seen that the Windsor County Mass Con-
vention is TO be held at Woodstock on Tues
day of next week. The call is signed by
over 400 voters, and we are informed that
