are also much indebted to Mr.. G. L.. Rob-

sale. Mr.. Robinson was an extensive pur-

prove fortunate speculation, it may in
some measure compensate him for large
property belonging to him at Jacksonville,
which the rebels have destroyed Mr..
Robinson being Union refugee from that
place"

reelection by reclamation. a
Hon. Calvin Morrill,, from Caledonia
County, seconded the nomination, aptly re-
marking that as Mr.. Morrill, had declined
reelection, they must draft him into the

did not believe he would decline TO serve.

Morrill, was unanimously nominated by ac-
clamation, amid much applause.

MOVEMENTS OF GEN. GRANTS Army
The Richmond Wing said of the effect of
the fall of Vicksburg -" What is most 10
be feared as to the immediate result of the
fall of Vicksburg is The conversion of the
great army under Grant from stationery
into moving force" The fear is being real
ized sooner than the rebels expected. Gen.
Sherman, reinforced by troops from Vicks.
burg, fought battle with Johnston beyond
the Big Black on the sth, resulting disas-
trOusly TO the rebels. Eighteen hundred
prisoners have been brought into Vicksburg
from the battlefield. Few casualties are
reported among our troops.
Gen. Herron's division was sent down
the river on transports, Immediately upon
the surrender of Yicksburg, to reinforce
Banks. But they met news of the surren-
der of Port Hudson, and returned and went
up the Yazoo expecting TO bag a rebel

of Pownal, caught in two traps in the east
ern part of that town, few days ago, a
bear and wolf. The wolf was very large,
standing nearly as high as young cot

bear was not large probably two year
old. They had remained in the traps so
long, on account of the absence of Mr..
Wright from town, as to entirely ruin their

A recent telegraph dispatch reported Gen.
Doubleday as speaking in the highest terms
Of the behavior in the last battle of certain
nine months regiments from Vermont who
had never been under fire before. We ex-
tract the following account from letter
written the 9th, on the battlefield, by Col
VIC. Veazey TO his wife in Nashua, N. H.:
"On the last and decisive day was in
front with my regiment, doth Vt) having
been on picket all the night before. They
opened on me at daylight, but my men
never cave way. We held the picket line

the 18th and 18th regiments and we ami
hilated one brigade in less than 80 minutes,
and took a great many prisoners. Then
another brigade of rebels came TO my left
and rcar-as had changed front somewhat

and charged this second brigade along on

all of them, taking three stands of colors
