COUNTY CONVENTION.

The delegates from the different precincts in
Davis county met at this office last Tuesday, and
chose Daniel Mitchell Chairman, and Joseph
Beaver Secretary. 1t was voted that the appor
tionment Of delegates from each precinct TO the
County Convention he the same as last year, viz:
three from Ashland, four from Humboldt and
Island City, two from Clark's Creek, two from
Lyons Creek, and FIVE from junction City and
Kansas Falls. The Committee also resolved to
call County Union Convention to meet on the
18th Of September, for the purpose Of selecting q
delegate to attend the State Convention to be
holden in Topeka, on Wednesday, September
18th. The Convention thus called will also
elect County Union Executive Committee for
the ensuing year.
The Union men throughout the county, with
out regard to past party connection, must go to
work earnestly and eradicate from our body
polite, root and branch, the secession element
that hangs like pail over the county. The
War for the Union is now at such pitch that

war must he waged by loyal men. who stay at

played -out-in fact, it may now be termed the
"root of evil" But for the conservative" ele-
ment Of public sentiment, which, when Whitfield
down to point. has more regard for Slavery
than the Union, our overt -timid President would
have long ago adopted sharp and decisive meas
ures, and per consequence We would now have
been able to see through our difficulties. The
yeomanry, then, must arise and demand radical,
extreme, and violent measures against the de-
stroyers Of all earthly hopes.
The Committee wisely determined to have
another Convention later in the campaign, to
nominate the candidates for county officers.
The voters Of each precinct will attend 10 this

with gross personal attack upon the
Chaplain Of the Post. Among other things
this writer asserts that the Post school is q
mere farce-that the teacher of it has not

other equally important information. We
will thank anonymous enemies Of the
Chaplain to consult us before they publish
such libels; and will now say, once for all,
that our children are making most excellent

.Nessrs., Editors-An article appeared in
your last paper purporting to be from a
man of leisure, poor in health, with some
money, rambling about from place to place,
taking notes Of the country and characters
of men. He pretends to have visited Fort
Riley, and while here learned, through his
inquisitive faculty, that our Post Chaplain
is selfish, miserly and lazy, never visiting
the sick in hospital, nor. soldiers in quar-
ters, unless it was to get them to perform
some menial labor for him.
Now, wish to inform the writer of that
article that he has either been misinformed
or so much prejudiced against the Chaplain
that he could not write the truth. l have
lived at the Post for some time, and know
the Chaplain we'll. know that he per-
forms all his duties according to the best Of
bis ability, which is saying a great deal for
an officer Of the United States Army. He
breaches every Sunday, teaches school
through the week, visits the sick in the
hospital at least once q week, and oftener,
if necessary. He also visits the soldiers in
their quarters, not to get them to perform
some menial labor, but to invite to bis
house, that they may eat at his table, and
te treated As men who are fighting for their
country. This much know Of the Chap
lain, and am willing to be qualified At any

SOLDIERS RELIEF ASSOCIATION,
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 10, 1862

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10, 1862
To the People of Vermont.
| am directed by the Executive Commit
tee OF the Vermont Soldiers Relief Associ-
alton" OF this city to make statement OF
the objects and purposes Of the Association.
AT meeting of Vermonters resident in
this city, the following named gentlemen
were appointed an Executive Committee,
whose duties are to look after and provide
for the comfort of the sick and wounded SOL
diers from our State, who are or may be in
mates of the various Hospitals in Washing
ton and vicinity, viz;
STEPHEN PRENTIss, Weathers6eld.
JAMES M. SLApE, Mlddlebury.
WILLIAM p. SHEDD, Royalton.
DANIEL BURK, Chelsea.
JOHN OsGoop, Rutland.
+. w. HALL, Bellows Falls.
HENRY HowEs, Montpelier.
JAMES j. SHEDp, Royalton.
CHARLES +. GRAVES, Rutland.
LUTHER p. BLoDGETr, Burlington.
This Committee or5anized by electing
Stephen Prentiss, ESQ, Chairman, and Jno.
Osgood Secretary.
The plan adopted by the Committee to
further the objects of the Association is as
follows Each member is required to visit
one or more hospitals at least once week.
the distribution being so made as to include
all the hospitals, and to insure to each one or
more visits each week.
These visitors are instructed 10 procure
the name of the patient, company and regi-
ment to which he belongs, residence or Post
Office address, the nature of his wound or
disease, present state OF his health, and whe-
Their improving or not, how he is cared for, and
what he needs, if anything, to make him
more comfortable, and report the same to
the Secretary, who will record it in book
kept for the purpose.
Thus it will be seen that the Secretary
will at all times be prepared to give the
friends of the sick or wounded soldiers full
information in regard to their condition !;
and it is made part of his duty to furnish
this information on application either per-
sonally or by letter-a service which he will
cheeriully perform. The Committee will
also attend to facilitating the discharge from
service, procuring the pay for those who are
permanently disabled and desire to return to
their homes-a matter in which very con-
siderable difficulty has heretofore been ex-
perienced.
Our Chairman, Stephen Prentiss, Esq,
having kindly offered to receive at his store,
No. 496 Ninth street, all articles and pack
ages the people of Vermont are disposed to
contribute for the use of the Committee,
can assure them that all such contribution;
sent to the above address will be faithfully
applied to the relief of those for whom they
are intended.

From the Burlington Free Press,
LOSSES in THE VT, BRIGADE.

For the carefully compiled list of killed
wounded and missing in the Vermont
Brigade, from June 9th to July 4th, we
are indebted to one of the 4th Regiment.
1t is the most complete list, we think,
yet given. Many of the wounded-pro-
badly almost all-have been reported as
arriving at the various hospitals at New
York and other cities, but those lists
were quite inaccurate as to name, compa-
MES, and even regiments. This one,
compiled for us on the spot by one of the
brigade, will be found quite correct.
The killed number 40, the 9th losing
80 the I'd and 4th none the Sd but 4,
and the 9th but Z,
The wounded numbered S2l, distribu-
ted as follow: I'd Regiment AS; Sd, Is
4th, 16 9th, l43; 9th, 81.
The missing number rs; from the %
Regiment 80; from the 9th, 10 from the
9th, 20 :; and none from the Sd and 4th
Many of the missing, it is probable, have
come in since the list was made out.
The whole loss of the Brigade, up t.
July 4th is 439.

Lincoln is about to issue proclamation Of
fering amnesty to all citizens of the Border
States who have engaged in the rebellon,iwh
shall lay down their arms and return to their
allegiance within given time. This course
will be pursued in all other States as our ar
mics advance, and persistent rebels will be
made to take the consequences. 1t is under
stood that the President will, in the same
proclamation order all the Generals in the
field to make use of the slaves of rebels in
whatever way shall best conduce to suppress:
the rebellion.

~Several speakers in the late semi
secession convention at Bellows Falls, had
great deal to say about Fort Warren.
They declared they should utter their sen
timents regardless of Fort Warren or any
other fort. Some of them talked as if
they rather desired to be made martyrs of
by getting imprisoned for disloyaEy, like
the fighting Irishman who asked if +" some
body wouldn't just step on his ooat-tail.'
Don't be alarmed gentlemen. The con-
tempt with which all loyal men look upon
traitors and their sympatizers, is likely to
be the only punishment you will get. We
know you would find congenial compan-
ionship in Fort Warren, but we can't
crafty you. Where there are not traitors
enough to got seed, the best way is to
let them severely alone. So continue to

driven from his late position by superior
force, simply because he had not troops
enough to repel their assault They are few
who question this fact, and those who do,
question 1t without reason.
Now let us all leave the management of
the war to our commanders in the field,
trusting that they are better qualified for the
discharge OF their duties than are we, and
let us discharge our duty. How will it look
in the eyes of foreign governments if we
pursue the opposite course2 Here is apeo-
Pile which claims TO be united in the purpose
of putting down the rebellion. And yet all
operations brought to a dead lock by disa-
greement between the commanders of our
armies and the people,-the commanders re-
preaching the people for not furnishing
troops, and the people reproaching the COM
manders because they have not accomplished
more with those they have, and in the mean
time the united enemy is Strengthening his
armies and his positions and organizing VIC
tories This mode of carrying on the war
must stop, and it will stop. The people be-
gin to see the absurdity of it. They will
answer all the calls that are made upon
them, either for men or money, and our
Generals. learning wisdom from experience,
if they lacked it before, will move forward
to a glorious victory. We call upon our
young men, for the sake of the good name OF
| Vermont, and in the name of patriotism, to
turn deaf ear to all croakers, and press
forward at the urgent call of their country to
uphold the stars and stripes. "Our brethren
are already in the field. Why stand we here
idle ?" Shall we stand still and discuss and
discuss, and argue and argue, the merits OF
this or that man, this or that policy, until the
armed foe is in our National Capital, and
across the upper Potomac? Our opinions
are not worth row of pins, just now, to the
government What the government wants
is our stout arms in the conflict with pow
erful enemy. When the President calls thus
for help and succor, will we return him
curses and reproaches? In Gods name, is
that the way to put down rebellion Is
that the enlightened patriotism of Vermont !?
No! Never
