RETURN HONE OF The SEVENTH VERMONT
The 9TH Vt arrived at Brattleboro' at IL A.
NJ, Aug. 10th. The men appeared re.
markably we'll. though deeply bronzed by
the southern sun. The regiment was in full
uniform Officers excepted), being something
very unusual. The regiment, by companies.
marched through Main street, to a lot north
OF the town, where the Governor and Staff
reviewed the lines. The Governor then
welcomed the regiment to the State, and adj
dressed 1t in a very handsome and patriotic
strain. The men were then marched to In.
the Town Hall. where they were received by
the Town Authorities, and welcomed by Gen.
Phelps, and invited To a lunch furnished bv
the citizens of Brattleboro'. They were then
f~urloughed for 80 days, and most oi them left
own by the first trains north.
Their military appearance and good march
ing reflected credit On their colonel for his
attentionand maintenance of strict discipline.
Sixteen officers and 34l men are re-enli,t.d
volunteers, and one officer and 81 men are to
be mustered out on the 3lst inst. The re-
officers are as follows:

\ REBELS TINA OF McCLELLAN.-A
rebel mail Of about fifty letters was captured
near Shepardstown Va. a few days ago. moet
OF the letters being from officers and soldiers
IN Early's command. A correspondent Of
the y. Y. Tribune gives a copy Of one from
a notorious character-one Col. Durham Of
New York, who early in the war ATTEMPTED
TO raise a regiment for the Union. but having
failed to effect his object, resigned and went
over to the rebels. 10 his letter, dated Aug.
i, he alludes to his treason and boasts of it.
The letter is directed 70 one Bishop. and
abounds in the low, coarse slang which the
rebels and rebel-sympathizing writer's use so
freely when speaking Of President Lincoln,
and IN threats of the f%erocity with which
the war Is to be waged against the North.
The following extract shows the deep interest
which the rebel readers have in Mcclellan
and the democracy of the present day:
But let me tell you. my dear boy, YOU NAV
pray for peace until hell freezes over-that is.
peace with the restoration Of the Upion-snd
there viii be no peace. Mars is relentless and
Concordra is deaf There can be no peace until
Black Republicans and Abolitionsts are silepced
ana reduced to an equality, or, at least. a level.
win the niggers they claim as their equals. Let
your chicago Convention nominate Mr.. Davis for
the Presidency-and | know the majority of the |
delegates could vote for him ifthey dared-.nd
on his election you can and will have peace. or
course you will not DO this. The next best thing
You can do is TO nominate and elect Mcclellan
The South don't regard him as AS a military zen
Jus, as the northern press would make the people
believe they do; but they believe him to be what
was once called a northern man with southern
principles His election, my dear boy. would do
much TO c~onciliate the South. We are satisfied
that If you elect HIM, the right Of secession and
independence would be acknowledged, and that
terms OF reconstruction would be offered. which
we might with honor accept. | don't say. how
ever, that they would be accepted.
1t IS my opinion, as it is the opinion of Presi-
dent Davis and the leading men of the South.
that the war must continue until one side or tho
other is su6jugated. The more assistance vonr
render, indirectly, the sooner we shall
be able TO vanquish the abolition hordes. and re-
store the Union. 1t may seem paradorical. bn,
assure you, my boy, we are fighting for Union
to place the old United States under one
government; and we shall do it in such A wsv
hat no abolition baboon will ever again get AZ

The CHICAGO CoNvENTIoN-FIRsr DAY.-
The National Democratic Convention was
called to order by Augustus Belmont. chair
man Of the National Committee. Address
ing the Convention he said
In your hands rest, under the ruling of
an all wise Providence, the future Of this re-
public For years Of misrule by a sectional.
ianatcal and corrupt party, have brought
our country TO the very verge of ruin. The
past and present are sufficient warnings of
disastrous consequences which would befail
us It Llnc0ln's reelection should be made
possible by our want of patriotism and uni
y. The inevitable results of such calamity
must be the utter d~isintegration of our whole
political and social system, amid bloodshed
and anarchy with the great principals of
liberal progress and self-government leo
pardizcd for generations to come.
Hon. VIM. Bigelow of Penn, was chosen
temporary chairman of the convention.
Rev. DR.. Clarkson of Chicago offered
prayer
F. o. Perrin, G. NJ. Towers and Moses
Strong Of Wisconsin were appointed tenn
porary secretaries.
On motion Of Mr.. Tilden of y. Y. it was
ordered that one delegate be appointed by
each delegation to report resolutions for con-
slderation to the Convention, and that all
resolutions be referred to said Committee
without debate.
Resolutions were offered by Gov. Hunt of

SHERIFF.

Au address to the Freemen Of Chittendcn
County, by Sheriff Flanagan. in which he
announces lis intention to run as a boiling
candidate, tor the Office he now holds, will
be found in our columns to-day. 1t is an an
u1aucement which will be received with re-
greet bymany Of Mr.. Flanagan's former friends
and supporters. We are Of that number.
Mr. Flanagan has had our hearty support
for seven years and would have had it again.
bad be received the regular nomination at
the list county convention. 1t can be
charged TO NJ feeling of personal spite or op-
position, therefore. when we saw that we
consider his present course extremely illad-
yi-ed both on public and private grounds.
Tie Caucus whose nomination he so I'M
dervalues, was the regular Convention Of the
Union men Of the country represented by
their own chosen delegates. Mr.. Flanagan
was a candidate for denomination before that
convention, and If its decision had been IN
his favor would Of course have expected the
party to latiiy it at the polls. But the
convention saw lit to nominate another man.
il selected Col. WV. d. MUNsoy, Il worthy
and capable citizen OF the county, a brave
soldier, who exercised with fidelity the re-
sponsible duties Of Provost Marshal Of the
Vt. Second Brigade in a region abounding
in disloyal inhabitants, and who has bravely
faced the rebels on the battle field.
The convention had a perfect right to
make such q selection. and it will hardly do
now to whistle its decision down the wind as
the action Of an irresponsible " caucus" If
Mr.. Flanagan dad not intend to abide the
choice Of the Convention, he should not have
entered it as a candidate. If the action Of the
Convention has no binding effect as TO the
office Of Sheriff, no more has it IN reference
TO the other Offices, and we are entirely
aaJat, the party at liberty to vote each man
Cor himself or his next door neighbor. with
q dead certainty tina in consequence Of such
disorganizauon, every Office on the ticket
will be handed over to our organized oppo-
neuts.
OF course, our opponents arc very glad to
distractions to anyextent in the ranks of
the supporters Of the Government. They
propose to encourage this one, it is said. by
Withdrawing their nominee for Sheriff.
md substituting Mr.. Flanagan on their tick
PIT. In such a case they would claim the de-
.eat Of the regular nominee as a triumph for
heir side.
For these and other reasons, we sincerely
that the friends who have advised
Mr., Flanagan to his present course, have
lone him an III service that the only result
IF it will be injury to himself and to the
mon Cause and We urge the Union voters
our County to STAND By THE REGULAR xox-
ME-, who is certain to be elected, and VINO
hould have the full support of the party.
