FROM THE VERMONT CAVALRY
Dear Free Press

Dear Free Press:
| WINCHESTER, Va, Oct. Dist, 1864.
have the pleasure now of informing you OF
one of the most " brilliant charges of this war,
made by the regiment in the battle of day before
yesterday. Lit. Col. Bennett has receipts from
Gen Custer for CD twenty-one pieces of artil-
lery, Q2) twelve caissons, GOO two hundred
prisoners, and 500 thirty wagons, all taken by
the regiment, in the charge of that day. The
loss of the reg't is very small. The brave Capt
| Watson, Co. L, was severely wounded in the
shoulder; only one other of the regiment was
struck. The men behaved superbly. The hat
tie throughout was a great success, although our
loss was severe in the 9th Corps
The "old men, of the regiment have not vet
received orders to "march to Vermont" but are
daily looking for the order

Presidential Election the sth of Novem-
Der.

Next Tuesday, the sth of November, will be
a great day for the United States Hardly will
the national birthday, July i, l776, be
more marked day on the page of the future
historian. Four millions of votes, perhaps
more and certainly but few less, will be cast
on that day to determine whether Abraham
Lincoln or George B. Mcclellan shall be
President of the United States for the four
years from the 4th day OF March next. We
need not dwell upon the vast consequences to
this nation and to the cause of good govern
ment and free institutions throughout the
world, which are involved in the decision of
this question. Never before did the world
see great nation in arms to preserve Its
unity, its free institutions. its honor, its very
existence even as a nation in the eyes of al
other nations, against rebellion so vast in
its proportions, so disbonorablc and wicked
in its origin, 50 malignant in It's purposes, and
so atrocious in its conduct, as that which the
Government of the United Statez has had to
contend with, since Abraham Lincoln was
elected to the Presidency. That rebellion,
under Gods blessings on the labors and sac
rifces Of true-hearted men in the council and
in the field, is now, to all human appearances,
rapidly nearing the hour of its final and com
plete overthrow. Every day it grows weaker
and its promoters at HON, and abroad become
more deeply disheartened. Every day shows
the power of the nation to be stronger than
eyer before; and the determination of its loyal
people to make no compromises with treason,
is, IF possible, more intense than 1t was
when the rebellion first broke "a.
There is no occasion to rehearse the reasons
why Abraham Lincoln was re-nominated for
the Presidency, nor those which led to the
nomination of George B. Mcclellan in oppO-
sitiOn to him, They are generally pretty
well understood by this time 1t is enough
for us to ask our readers to look at the kinds
of persons who will certainly vote the one
ticket, and then at the kinds who will
just as certainly vote the other. 1t will
be easy for each reader to decide which of
these two groups he prefers to vote with.
