from this fair land, are being replaced By
men iohO acknowledge human liberty as The
only true Foundation Of human goUerR-
mem. May your efforts to restore your
city to the cause Of the Union be as sue
cessful as have been theirs to reclaim it
from the despouc rule of the leaders Of the
rebellion"
In letter to the president Gen. Grant
pledges himself not only to aid Adj. Gen,
Thomas in his labors, but also heartily en-
dorses the Emancipation Proclamation and
the raising of colored troops, and earnest
ly expresses the opinion that with the lat
ter great results can be attained.
In recent letter written from Murfrees-
boro and published in the Philadelphia
Press, Gen. Rosecrans says:
81 am glad TO see the splendid stand
you nave taken against slavery, wi h all
its horrors, barbarities and shocking i'm
moralties. Slavery is dead, and nothing
can resuscitate it. To understand this
fully you should pay us visit.
Slavery is doomed, and those who now up
hold it will soon be held up to public obi
um and execration. No statesman will
vindicate it, no friend of human progress
will stretch forth hand to break It's
fall.
Almighty God has certainly ordained the
destruction of slavery in this country,
where it has been more offensive and i'm
moral than in any other. x
The above is rank heretcal talk from
former democrats, and demands immediate
copperhead attention.

MORE WORK FOR THE SHAM DEMoC-
RAcY. The pseudo-democracy are likely
to have all the business they can conyen-
lently attend to in communicating here
tics from their synagogue. They have, in
fact, been exceedingly troubled with this
kind of business ever since the outbreak
OF the rebellion; but the wrath which
they invoke upon the backsliders, and the
threats OF long repentance which will be
required of them before beng received
again to the copperhead communion, do
not seem to have the slightest effect in
terrifying others from similar recreancv.
Nothing has been more common than this
rejection of pseudo-democratic principles
(or want of principles) by old leading
democrats since the outbreak of the pres
ent rebellion; and especially is this the
case with those who have been active par
tlclpants IN the war. Our columns have
contained extracts from the speeches and
letters of many patriotic democrats. We
add now some further brief extracts indi-
eating the views of two of the greatest
generals who have yet appeared in this
war.
In response to the profer of a public
reception by the loyal citizens of Mem
phis, Gen. Grant wrote under date of
Aug. IS:
" / thank you, in the name of the noble
army which | have the honor to com
mand. 1t is composed Of men whose loy-
atty has been proved by their deeds of
hereism and their willing sacrifices of ilife
and health. They will rejoice with me
that the miserable adherents of the rebel
lion, whom their bayonets have driven

The DRAFT IN TRoY, The draft for
Troy, n. Y, was made on Friday amid
the best OF feeling, Aparade of the draft
ed men took place in the evening. Among
the drafted were one of the editors of the
Troy Press, the 'enterprsing local'' of
the Times, &c. The Wing saws the luck
OF the thing occasionally struck in clus-
ters. A group of about dozen Third
Warders stood waiting for the result in
that ward. One of the number was strick-
en-. The laugh was upon the stricken one
for moment, and but for moment.
Another and another were taken, until at
the end of ten minutes the whole group
We're regularly marked conscripts. An
sup town Club" was formed with S25 a
share for communication capital. Friday
morning two of the stockholders backed
out. The draft took place--the only two
drafted OF the nal Club were the two
who backed out. Without the two the
party came off ''scot free'-with them the
members would have been in for $50
each. Another Club was less fortunate
The Club consisted OF twenty-one persons.
Twenty OF the twenty-oue were drafted.

- The Presidents letter to the II

The Presidents letter to the Il
linois Union Convention is demolished by
the Utica Observer as follows. 1t is
air specimen of the conclusive manner in
which many copperhead sheets contro-
vert arguments. The Observer says of
the letter: .~..
Its abominable composition and
style are nauseating, but its spirit and
contents are far more humlliating and de-
plorable."

The ELECTION. The election in this
state being as usual pretty much all on
one side, but little interest, comparatively,
is felt IN the returns, and for this reason
they come in slowly. We give elsewhere,
this morning, complete table of all the
returns yet received, embracing l79
towns, or about three -fourths of the whole
number in the state. We make the ma
jority for Smith in these l79 towns, IT,
749. The majority in the whole state will
probably not be very far from 10000
The vote polled in the state election of
1860, was considerably larger than now,
and accordingly the anti-democratic ma
jority-all other things being the same
should be considerably heavier than this
year; yet the majority for Fairbanks was
then but 2U,3l5.
Considering the smaller aggregate vote
this year the absence of Union voters in
the military service, and the capital which
the copperheads expected to make out of
their clamor against conserption, taxation,
and other war measures, this result is es-
pecially gratifying, and shows that Ver-
mont patriotism and loyalty are unwaver-
ing under any sacrifice necessary to put
down treason and maintain the Union.

REBEL TESTIMONY. The following
testimony as to the origin, purpose and
effect of northern copperhead labors, is
from Maury, the rebel agent in England.
In letter to the London Times, speaking
of the plans of the rebels and their mode
of operating in the North "to offset the
tide of military reverses which in the first
weeks of July ran so strong against the
South" he says;
Other agents have to be called into
play. What are they 2 Let us inquire.
They are decisions IN the camp Of the en-
eng, diSSeatioas among the people Of the
North. There is already peace party
there. All the embarrassments with
which that party can surround Mr.. Lin
coin, and all the difficulties that it can
throw in the way of the war party in the
North, operate directly as so much aid
and comfort to the South.

penter, Co. G, and Lieut.. Cooper, Co. A,
9Th Vermont regiment, have recently ar
rived in the State from New Orleans, hav-
ing been detailed to bring on drafted men

came North via the Mississippi river. The
strength Of the regiment when they left
was 730 men. Some 27O are therefore
required.

SKIRMIsH ABOUT HoPs. On the Ist
and I'd of September there was something
Of skirmish on the farm Of Il. B. Hill,
in Irasburg. The contest grew out Of
claims to the ownership of some hops.
John II. Kellam claimed the hops by pur-
chase, and d. P. Walworth claimed them
by the right of leave to the premises.
On Monday there was some loud talk and
In the afternoon a constable attached the
hops which Walworths men had picked.
But on attempting to remove them he was
resisted by Walworth's men, In this en-
counter Walworth attacked Hill, but
came out second best. On the next day
Kellam sent reinforcements, and when
Walworth's men appeared Kellam's forces
formed in line Of battle along the fence of
the opyard, when Walworth and his
forces being greatly outnumbered with
drew in good order-without loss.

The English papers relate good story
of a certain noble lord, whose peculiar
style of dress and unpretending appear
ance are constantly bringing him into
awkward situations. The noble lord in
question Is very well known member Of
the Upper House. He is invariably at
tired in "tall coat" black combinations,
white cotton socks, and low shoes, called
'spumps." Having occasion, the other
day, to call on the Marquis Of -, in

the hall porter that his lordship was not

g. The Tribune says that an at
tempt to stir up resistance to the draft IN
Brooklyn has signally failed. A couple
of copperheads, one brother to the city
clerk, the other areporter of The Express,
who were drafted, called meeting of the
conscripts in City Hall Park, Friday eve
ming. An hour after the time appointed,
a feeble gathering organized, and The
Express man made a speech lnveighing
against the rich as oppressors of the poor.
After a good deal of loose incendiary talk
he advised the workingmen present to re-
lieve their fellows from the draft by tax
ing their money from the savings banks
and investing it in City Conscription
Bonds. The whole affair was fiat, stale
and spiritless, and in decided contrast with
the patriotic conduct of the Germans ot
the eastern district, on the evening pre-
vious.
