OVERWHELMING UNION VICT0.
RIES IN VERMONT AND
CALIFORNIA.

The elections held last week in Yer
mont and California, for State officers
members of the Legislature and Congress
men resulted in the utter rout of the Cop
perheads in both States. The Union ma
jorities in both States are overwhelmingly
large.-in the latter from 20, 900 to 30.-
600 first reports say. and in the forme
as large as at any former election. Th'
members of Congress elect are all Uniol
men, and the Legislatures two to on
Union in California and in Vermont near
ly unanimous.
This is highly satisfactory TO loyal men
but depressing to the Copperheads. wh'
are beginning to realize the doom tina
awaits them.
