REPORT OF THE VERMONT METHOD
IST CONFERENCE ON THE STATE
OF THE COUNTRY


The Committee on the State of the Country
submit the following Report;
We are now in the third year OF the stupendous
coniictio assert the integrity OF our country and
the maintenance OF our government, against the
assaults of armed traitors. 1t originated in the
rapaclty OF slave-holding aristocracy. and Is
waged to overthrow free republican institutions
and found a State upon the cornerstone OF human
bondage This conflict has ragged with varying
success for the space OF three years, involving
sacrifice OF thousands of lives, millions OF money,
and the severest strain upon our National re-
sources; yet, on the whole, with result highly
favorable to the arms OF the Republic. There has
been, at the same time, gradual eliminating OF
the disoyal elements in the loyal States, and
crystalization of the loyal sentiments OF the peo-
pie, so that the supporters OF the Government
and the secret abettors OF treason are very well
understood and classified. Men are gradually
coming to unity OF thought and action and the
purpose 70 maintain the integrity OF our whole
country, from the Lakes TO the Gulf, from the At
lantic to the Pacific, at all hazards, Is becoming
more and more determined. The policy OF the
Government as respects the proper methods and
auxiliaries of carrying on the war, has taken
more definite and positive shape in favor Of the
emancipation of all the slaves in the rebellious
States, and their employment in the military and
naval service and the utter extinction of slavery
by Constitutional amendment wherever it exists.

The New York Eve. Post, which has IA
vored Gen. Butler, charges that he has blum
dered grossly in his present campaign. Tbs
point OF the complaint is stated thus:
We had turned, or got where we could
turn. against the enemy some three miles Of
his own strong intrenchments (; and it was
thought that, if we could maintain ourselves
there. we should be able to dispose Of Fort
Darling, and thus open the river. In this
state Of things Gilmore urged strongly upon
Gen. Butler the Importance Of intrenching
our positions, so as to make them secure
against sorties or any movements Of the enc
my to oust Us from them. The matter was
pressed very earnestly upon Gen. Butler,
through Col. Serrell, whom Gen. B. had
charged with that mission. Gen. Buffers
answer, repeated several times, was, that the
movement was altogether an offensive one,
aud tha. he would not pause for any defen-
sivs preparations. In brief, he positively re-
fused TO let the work of intrenching our po-
sition be undertaken though such work
would not necessarily have involved any loss
of time--only it would have kept portion Of
the troops at work who would otherwise have
chance to rest. Gen. Butler seems to have
had an odd sort Of fear lest the offensive
character Of the enterprise should be some
how compromised by STOPPING to the use Of
defensive methods. Here was an act Of pre-
sumption. And it was followed, as such acts
are apt to be, by an act Of timidity."
The expected assault Of the enemy came on
Monday. 9th, of which we have had accounts.
Heckman's brigade was partly captured and
partly driven back, and our whole right was
disotderod and doubled back upon ITSELF
" Still Gilmore with the 10th army corps held
his position within the enemys works, and
showed no inclination to bulge an inch. Gen.
Butler sent him an order to withdraw and
come to the support of the right. He replied
that he was succeeding against the enemy =
and still he fingered, his position growing
better and better, till Gen. Butler sent him
another and more peremptory order. COM
manding him to retire Immediately. 1t was
too bad thus to lose the fine position we
had gained for advancing on Richmond. That
position cannot be regained without large
addition to our present force"

DEATH OF HON .. R. oIDDINos.

A telegrapbic dispatch from Montreal an
nounces the death, instantsneously, al 10 o.
clock on Friday eve, May 27, OF Hon. JOSH
VA X. GIDDiNos of Ohio, U. s. Consul Cen
era for Canada. His disease was Of the heart.
Mr.. Giddings was born at Athens, Penn, Oct.
8, 1875, and was therefore in his 69th year.
He entered Congress in 1888 and served con-
tinuously till March 4, 1859 twenty years.
He was elected eleven times, having At one
Congress resigned, in consequence Of a vote
Of censure which was undeserved, and was
resented by his constituents in a reelection
to the same Congress. We need not remind
our readers that Mr.. Giddngs was, during
his congressional career, a persistent, un-
hinching and able opponent Of slavery. For
this be stood high in the estimation Of anti
slavery men, and this is indeed the chief
ground Of his fame. He was moreover a
man Of unquestioned integrity and great in
dustry in every matter committed to him he
gave faithful service and for these reasons
be had the entire confidence Of the Aeuse.
In every thing outside Of slavery, those who
we're most hostile to him on that question
treated him with great respect. He became
" the father Of the House" by his long SER
vice but bis highest title was " the friend Of
the oppressed"
Mr. Giddiags has of late been engaged upon
a politico historical work which would com
mand the attention Of the public. We hope
that work was completed, but with doubt

GEN. BUrLER.-Having just published,
from the N. Y. Evening Post, a complaint a.
gainst Butler, we add the following Offset
from the Generals organ-the Norfolk New
Regime
" The exaggerated stories in circulation in
regard to the rebel impressions made upon
Gen. Butler's front serve only to keep alive
secessionism in this community. Once for
all, we assert, that Gen. Butler has Beaure-
gard in his grasp, and he will hold fast to the
little Creole"

An uncertain report has been received at
Glenns Falls, n. Y, that 1t. Edgar NJ. Wing,
Of the llslh N. Y. infantry, has been killed in
battle, OF fallen into the hands Of the enemy
severely wounded. Son of Hon. Halsey r.
Wing, and grandson Of the late Gen. +. p.
Walton OF Montpelier, any such misfortune
to him would weigh heavily upon many friends
here. Although this report comes from bis
comrades, we End no such record in the list
OF casualties in the N. Y. llsth, and therefore
indulge a hope that be may have been only
separated from his regiment, or at the worst

The Evening Telegraph's Washington dis
patch says Mosby's guerrillas have been de-
voting the last ten days to the entire aud
complete destruction Of all our block houses
and bridges from Union Mills down to the
Rspidan.
The withdrawal OF our outpost troops on
the railroad for more important duty afforded
them a clear coast for tb.ir operations, in
which they were aided by farmers all along
the road, who have been protected and aup-
Poi ted al. winter by our government.
An army dispatch dated Wednesday after
noon to Philadelphia paper states that the

Six miles Of the Virginia central railroad had
