DEAR SIR: Having read in the Balti-

at the Cooper Institute, l cannot refrain
from expressing the pleasure they af-
forded me and the loya citizens in our
section of the State Residing, as we
do, Immediately upon the lines, being
within stones throw of Virginia, and
being familiar with the uncompromising
and defiant spirit prevailing there, | have
thought, for lon g time, that the North
was laboring under a fatal mistake IN
supposing that any conciliatory policy
on their part would reconcile the enemy.
l can moreover state, from my own OBJ
servation, that the division in sentiment
in the North have contributed greatly to
embolden them. You may rest assured
| that If the North purposes to put down
the rebellion, the only way it can be
done is by presenting united front and
by force of arms.

The COppcrhead Convention.

The State Convention of rebel sympa-
thizers met at Montpelier last week, and in
the main was as shameless and abandoned
as the one held here last year. As last
| year, the key note of the convention was
given by B. H. Smalley of Swanton, whe
declared the cause of the war to be d" the
fanaticism of New England" and there that
old man stood for some time denouncing his
own section of country in behalf of the reb-
els. He went SO far as to show, according
to his theory, how the North was wrong
and the South right. Last year he intima-
ted that he did not say all he felt and be-
lieved, for lear of Fort Warren; but this
year he seems to have gone it with sper-
feet lcoseness." Perhaps he felt encourag-
ed by certain class of loyal advocates of
free speech
G. N. Davenport, of Wilmington, (who
ought TO have been in better company was
President CT the convention. The follow
ing are the nominees:
For Governor, Timothy P. Redfeld of
Montpelier; for Lieut.. Governor. E. A.
Chaplin of Rutland for Treasurer, Robert
Nick. Ormsby of Bradford.
Redfeld years ago used to train with the
old liberty party men and free-soilers, and
as, according to apprehension, such men
were the cause of the war;" we shall ex-
pect to see his friends show his repentance
during the campaign. Chaplin is Superin-
tendent of the Rutland and Burlington
Railroad, and Ormsby is an old fossil pro-
slavery wing, who ought TO have lived sew
eral ages ago, but unfortunately got into
the wrong century.
The convention adopted the Vallandig-
ham platform of Ohio, and of course cheer
ed Vallandigham, Filz John Porter, and
others of that ilk, and gave groans for the
the President.
The character Of the convention may be
Judged from the fact that such men as Ii.
b. Smith of Milton and Lewis S. Partridge,
the notorious rebel sympathizer of Norwich,
were elected delegates to what they called
the national democratic convention to be
held next year. Partridge. our readers
will remember, was at the head of secret
disloyal organization at Norwich, which vas
broken up last year, and he skedaddled to
Canada.

Maj. Gen. George G. Meade.

zen Hooker at his own request was
relieved of the command of the army of
the Potomac, on Saturday last, and the
command turned over 10 Gen. Meade, who
though considered an able officer. is not so
generally known outside of the army. Gen.
Meade was borne in Spain in 1919, entered
the Military Academy at West Point from
the district of Columbia, and was gradua-
ted there in 1889 and appointed I'd Lieut..
IN the 81 Artillery, resigned his commission
Oct. 26, 1886, was appointed Cd Lieut. in
the Typographical Engineers May 10,
1912, was preveted 1st Lieut. for galantry
at Monterey in 1916, became LIST Lieut. in
August, 1851, Captain, May 10, 1856,
Major, in June, 1860, and Brigadier- Cen
eral of Volunteers August 81, 1861. Few
officers have performed more arduous du-
ties or rendered more distinguished and
faithful service to the country since the
commencement of the war. In the seven
days fight before Richmond, Gen. Meade
was struck by ball, which entered his
side and passed through his body, making
a severe and painful wound. Under ten
ter and skilful treatment he rapidly recoy-
cred, and it was scarcely known that he
had left his couch when he was in his sad
die, ready TO take part in the sanguinary
battle Of South Mountain and Antietam.
In these engagements he commanded the
Pennsylvania Reserves, a corps whose rep
utation for courage and discipline has been
surpassed by none. lie was with that
corps in the battles at Evansville, on the
Chlckahominy and in Maryland When
Gen. Hooker was wounded at Antietam.
Gen. Mcclellan placed Gen. Mead in COM
mand OF the corps which had Just been
deprived of its heroic leader. During the
action Gen. Meade received slight con-
fusion from a spent grape shot, and had two
horses killed urder him, and DISTINGUISHED
himself greatly during the battle, being in
the thickest Of the fight encouraging his
men by his deeds of daring and valor.
AT Fredericksburg he maintained his repu-
iation for GOODNESS, courage and skill, win
hing the unstinied applause of the army
md the hearty congratulations of great
iul and appreciative people.
