The Coming Election.

AT the State, District and County
Conventions, committees were duly APP
pointed to pay particular attention to
the requirements of the present polit-
ical canvass--to distribute votes and
documents, and make due arrange
ments for the success of the respective
State, District and County tickets,
We fear that the duty SO imposed upon
them (and it is an important one every
year, and especially every presidential
year., is in jeopardy of being over
looked in the all-absorbing interest
which attaches to the current move
ments of the war and the impending
draft. We say then, with emphasis,
that it would SAVIOR neither of prudence
nor patriotism to neglect the solemn
duty which devolves upon the people
of Vermont on the 9th day of Septem-
Der. Although the election then trans
piring is not of such Importance as
the one in November, yet Vermont viii
undoubtedly see that her record is fail
IN all respoets, and that the dehberat,
wishes of her citizens are fully ex
pressed at the ballot box.

A FRENcH VIEW OF GRANTS CAM
rAIeN.-Gen. Grant, in Virginia, is per-
suing his laborious career The Wig
orous blows which he struck in the be-
ginning to weaken his enemy while
thrusting him back, he has followed
by series of skillful maneuvres, the
results of which it is already easy to
perceive. 1t sufiices for this to read
attentively the correspondence of the
Moniteur Atfrstit showed the north
ern general in danger of losing his com
munication with too distant base.
The next day the dispatches announced
to MS that Grant as far-sighted rs these
official strategists, had transported his
base of operations on the rivers, at first
to Port Royal, now to the james river,
through which he receives in album
dance provisions, munitions and rem
forcements. Another time, formidable
/ lines of defense were encountered, pre-
/ pared by Lee in advance, and it was
/ predicted that the cruel obstinacy OF
/ his enemy would sacrifice in vain then
thousands of human lives Shortly
after, however, it was necessary to &c
knowledge that Lee, fanked, had been
forced to eyacuate successfully, and
almost without fighting, the positions
rendered useless 1t was then announc
ed to us that Grant, crowded in th,
swamps of the Chickahominy, found
himself in the critical situation from
which Mcclellan had so much difficulty
in eXtricating his army. This was very
inaccurate but, which cuts short al
reasoning, Grant did not stop in these
swamps, but, pursuing his vast move
ment with a success equal to his bold
ness, he transported his army from the
right bank of the James river to tn,
south of Richmond. There, in an i'm
pregnable position, resting on a river
under the protection of his artillery, hi
rear free, his supplies secured, com
bined withButler and Averill extendin,
hand from distance to Hunter, oc
cupying the railroads that supple,
the enemy, he threatens to isolate Rich
mond itself and Lees army from tn
other states of the confederacy; that
to say, to reduce them by famine, ik
Yicksburg. In this situation, ineffect
ual assaults, like those which he mad
fortwo days on the lines of Petersburg
or partial checks, like that announce
by the last dispatches, may retard th
! final success without rendering it les
probable Rcrue Rationale
