quarters from Richmond to the neigh
borhood of Reams Station, on the Wei

ton of giving battle. If this proves
true, we are probably on the eve of an
other terrific contest. Our preparations
for offence or defence are admirable and
he would have to elect between allowing
us to retain the occupation of the Wei
don road, or attacking our entrenched
position.
The Herald's correspondent Of the 9Th

7 o'clock, the enemy made an attack on
the advance picket posts of the 9Th corps
driving them in upon the line, wound
ing one and capturing eleven.
The Herald's correspondent Of the
Ninth corps, 9TH, says;
Gen. Grant visited Gen. W1lcox's front
line to-day, viewing the recently con-
structed works. A branch railroad to
City Point will be in operation in few
days to every point on the line dispens-
ing with the heretofore difficult trans
portation of stores over lengthy, tortuous
and heavy roads. The feature OF. this
new road is that it runs up hill and
down hill, without any reference to the
time honored requirements of grading,
&c. The route is marked out ahead,
ties are thrown down, rails are brought
up and laid as fast as the construction
corps advance. The road is in operation
to the Jerusalem plank road.

THB STATE ELgorIoS. County
AAead.-We print elsewhere the vote of
something over three fourths of the
towns of the state, on state ticket, in
1868 and 1864. Chittenden, Grand Isle,
Orange, Rutland and Windsor counties
are complete and several other counties
nearly so. A footing of the returns for
the towns whose vote we now have for
both years, gives a gain on the Union
majority of last year of 1888. This
added to last years majority (l765D
gives a Union majority of 20534, 1t is
safe enough therefore to put the ma
jority for the pkols state at 1000,
We cannot, in this connection, torbear
pointing with pride to the record made
by Rutland county, Returns enough
are in to show that she far outstrips
every other county in the state in her
Union gains on last years vote. We
congratulate the Union men of the
county on this result. Rutland county
can go to the head.

pliment to Vermont:
Vermont began the electioneering
work last Tuesday, when she chose
members of Congress, Governor and
members of the Legislature. The vote

but on Tuesday she outdid herself in the
way Of doing her duty with emphasis.
All her members Of Congress are Repub
Iicans, and her Governor, (Smith) was
reelected by majority of $4,000 being
great gain on his majority of '63i This
is larger majority, relatively, than
Governor Brough received in Ohio. The
Ohio loyal majority was about 5000 for
every member of Congress; that of Yer
mont is over 1000 for every member of
