"No one can blame the rebels great.

III Lincoln is reelected we may

been trying 10 keep UP appearances
with the hope that the peace men OF

upon the issue for it is nm absolute

The Rebel Raid in Vermont.


Twelve of the robbers at st. Albans, VT,
have been captured in Canada. One OF
them, who is in Jail Mt St. Johns, states that
the raid was conducted by captain in the
Confederate service.
Twenty-three persons were concerned in
the raid, and the amount taken from the
banks was $223,0o0.
The Evening Telegraph, published at st.
Albans, says: Fears are entertained, from
the sympathy shown at st. John for the re-
bel raiders at st. Albans, that an attempt
will be made to rescue them. A troop of
cavalry has been called out, and are now
guarding the Jail. Hon. j. j. Abbott, II.
Latlamme, and Hon. j. II. Cameron have
been retained as counsel for the rebels, and
Mr.. Deylin for the United States authori-
ties
Lieutenant Bennett II. Young, command
ing the raiders, has sent to the Evening
Telegraph letter, in which he charges the
citizens of Vermont with violating the Eng
lish and Canadian laws.
BURLINGTON, VT, Oct. 23.-Thirtecn of
the st. Adams bank robbers are now in Jail
at st. Johns. They are mostly young men
claiming to hail from Kentucky, and instant
that they are in the Confederate service, and
are also confident that they will be released.
Two of them claim TO have captains COM
missions. y small quantity of Confederate
money was found on them. An examina
ton will be commenced at st. Johns o-mor-
row before Judge Coursel.

artillery and a large number of wagons and
ambulances. General Custer has just sent
in word that the prisoners he has captured
are being constantly increased, and that
assistance will be needed to guard them.
General Sheridan has kept his word and
re-established his headquarters in the place
they occupied this morning. The different
corps have also gone back to their old camp
ing grounds, and now, while writing, at this
late hour, the events of the last sixteen hours
seem almost like q dream. Our wounded
have been sent to Newtown and Winchester,
where everything is being done for their
| comfort. of course at this time no estimate
can be made of the losses on either side, and
the country between here and Winchester Is
filled with stragglers who will. doubtless
return to their comrades in q few days
which will reduce our at this time apparent
ly great losses.
This has been the most complete and
crushing defeat General Sheridan has in.
flicted upon the old man, Early, and it is
extremely problomatical whether the latter
will again cndeavor to dispute with him
the possession Of the valley
