advancing forces to Grenada, Miss, II
was then given the name of the Mem

forwards occupied by federal forces, and
the Appeal escaped to Jackson, Miss

Memphis Grenada Jackson Appea. 20
From there 1t was driven by Gen, Grant
in 1868, and this time took long "scy-

to the very heart of rebeldom in Geor-
gia, hoping there to find a final resting
place. 1t appeared at Atlanta, the Mem
phis, Grenada Jackson-Atlanta Appeal,
There Gen. Sherman has just arbitrarily
interfered with its operations, and "for
a few days only" it will hold forth at
Macon Ca, as the Memphis Grenada
Jackson Atlanta Macon Appeal. Its
next stopping place will probably be on
some clone and barren isle"-if there is
any-in the Gulf Of Mexico.

TUE SOLDIERS yorE.-Capt. Keith Of
the 9th Vermont regiment writes to the
st. Albahs Messenger, from the U. s. Of
hcers hospital at Annapolis, that vote
was taken there ON the I'd inst, among
the officers. The following was the re-
suit; Lincol, 23a; Mcclellan, 80. There
are officers there from almost every state
in the Union, from brigadier generals to
I'd lieutenants. The Captain thinks that
it shows very plainly the state of feeling
in the army in regard to the peace ques-
tiOn.
Lieut.. o. H. Lewis, Jr,, OF the 10th Vt.
regiment, writes that "the peace party
or copperheads Of the North will be per-
fectly astounded to see the soldiers give
so large vote for Lincoln as they GER
tainly will. Thank God, Mcclellan II

army"

GEN. LOGAN AND THE DEMoCRAcY.-The
Chicago Tribune says that this noble Of
ficer the friend of Douglas, was impor-
tuned by several leading Democrats to
allow his name to be used for the Vice
Presidency at Chicago. But Gen. Logan
unqualifledly refused. He told those
gentlemen he did not train nth that
crowd that he was war Democrat
not peace sneak that he was opposed
to bowling down and supplicating for
forgiveness at the feet of JEFF Davis I;
that he was for an honorable, permanent
peace, which could only be obtained by
overthrowing rebellion, and compelling
the insurgents to yield obedience to the
Constitution and the laws, and that he
would never consent to make peace on
any terms that did not embrace COM
plete restoration of the Union, in all its
territorial integrity.

GEN. "JoB." HOOKER MAKgs A SPEECH.
The good people OF Watertown, where
Fighting Joe" Hooker Is making a
brief sojourn, celebrated the Atlanta vic
tory on Monday night. A procession
was formed, and marched to the resi-
dence of o. V. Brainard, where the gen.
eral is stopping, and the hero of Look
out Mountain made them the following
pointed and Characteristic address :
" Fellotc Citizens You have come here
to rejoice at the success of the Union
arms, in which am ready to join you
heart and hand. My business is fight
ing and not speech making, but let me
now tell you that the army of Sherman
is invincible, and cannot be dishearten-
ed. We must treat this rebellion as q
wise parent would a vicious child-he
must whip him into subjection-no
milder discipline will answer the pur-
pose. Some are crying peace, but there
can be no peace as long as rebel can be
found with arms in his hands. Woe be
to those who cry peace where there is no
peace This Union must be preserved,
and there is no way of preserving it but
by the power of arms-by fighting the
conspiracy to death. This rebellion is
lettering now while speak; it is going
down, down, and will soon tumble into
ruin. Politicians may talk to you about
the cause of the war, but | say put down
the rebellion, and then if you choose, en-
quire into the cause of it, But first put
down the insurgents-tirstw whip them,
and then talk about the cause if you
have nothing else to engage your
attention. l believe in treating the re-
bellion as Gen. Jackson treated Indians
whip them first and then treat with
them afterwards. The Union cannot be
divided, let politicians talk as they may ;
for il division commences, where are
you to end first the South would go,
then the Pacific States, then New Eng
land, and / hear that one notorious poll
tician has advocated that the city OF
New York should secede from the EN-
pire State. In such case there would be
no end to rebellion. Gentlemen, every
interest you have depends upon the sue.
cess of our cause, every dollar you pos.
sess Is at stake in the preservation OF
this Union. 1t will better accord with
my feelings to see the limits of our glo-
rious country extended, rather than cir.
cumscribed, and we may feel it nation.

~ The New York Tribune relate,

slg" The New York Tribune relates
the following good anecdote:
1t states that a daily traveller on
one Of the railroads running into this
city, who is a man OF great influence,
and withal a jealous democrat, took oc-
casion on the day of the Chicago nomi-
nations to go all through the train
shaking hands with everybody, glorying
over Little Mac, and stirring up the
Unionists, metaphorically, with a long
pole. 1t was all in good nature, how
ever but his jollity was quite uproar-
ious. Yesterday as the train was COM
ing into town, the jolly fellow was dis
covered deeply immersed in his newspa-
per, evidently in the dumps. A plot was
soon formed. About fifty good Union
boys got in line, and as they filed past
the jolly old chap each one insisted up
on vigorous shaking of hands and vo-
ciferously congratulating him on the
capture of Atlanta. 1t was gall and
NORWOOD, especially when some ex-
uberant shaker would add, How are
you Little Mac2" But he bore it like a
martyr, yea like vallandigham.

Miscellaneous Items.

The Boston Herald has Washing
ton report that Fremont is soon to with
draw, and that Ben Wade will take the
stump for Lincoln and Johnson.
The Unionists of New York city
fired salute over the fall of Atlanta,
but to state that fact would shock the
Express, so it stated in one edition that
it was because the city's quota was full,
and in the next that the various demo-
cratic organizations" fired it!
Mrs. Tom Thumb has baby three
months old-"a little, cunning, crying,
doll of a thing, and in no respect pecu-
liar or remarkable, except in the prom

and, if it lives, of becoming as big again
as either of its immediate ancestors"
says New York correspondent of the
Boston Post.
"A Washington dispatch says that
during the last ten days, the men mus
tered into the army have averaged 5000 a
day. On the I'd inst, 41S6 were muster
ed in, and on the Sd, 6169. These are
the latest reports received. The number
mustered in on the Sd inst. is probably
greater than has been mustered in for
any other one day in two years.

The victory which Gen. Sully gained
over the northwestern Indians on the
Goth July, proves to have been a very
important and decisive one. The prin.
cipal chiefs had long talk with Gen
Sully before the battle, and said they
were sure they could whip him, as they
had $500 warriors. After fighting an
hour the indians broke and IAN for the
mountains. Our forces pursued them
and fought them five hours. The Indian
loss is estimated at 1900 killed and
wounded, while Gen. Sully lost only five
killed and nine wounded. The Indians
were all armed with long, smooth bore
carbines. Sully's expedition will win

clerk; Rev. ]. C. Fernald of Rutland,
assistant clerk, and Rev. G. A. Thomas,
d. d. of Brandon, treasurer.
The sermon was preached by Rev. /.
III. Wood of Pittsford, from Ezekiel Il
81. 1t was a practical and timely effort
and we'll received. The letters from the
churches, though speaking of no special
revivals of religion, expressed much
gratitude to God for the means of grace
enjoyed, another year; and also the
warmest sympathy for the government
in its efforts to crush out most wicked
and causeless rebellion. There has been
commendable improvement in the mat
ter of systematic benevolence, and in
consequence the contributions have
been increased. Strong resolutions were
adopted sustaining the government, de
nouncing treason both at the North anG
South, and praying for peace based
upon rietory, freedom and unity. The AS.
ISOLATION was addressed by Rev. R
Smith of Montpelier, Rev. VIM. Grant Of
Whitehall, N. Y. and Rev. VIM. C. Child

How THB SOLDIERS VoTB.-Walton's
Journal says that Of the $50 soldiers in
hospital at Montpelier who voted last
Tuesday, not one voted the copperhead
ticket. They did the same thing in Bur-
lington, and judging from the returns
received from Brattleboro, the soldiers
voted the same way there. TheBurlington
Free Press says that as one of the gallant
fellows from the hospital in that place,
who was wounded in one Of the recent
battles, came limping up the steps of the
Town Hall, democratic ticket vender
thrust copperhead state ticket into
his hand. He took the vote, looked at
it very deliberately, and then with dry
emphasis which added greatly to the
effect of his words, said "What -
fool | should be, to go down and fight
the rebels for three years, with my
musket and then come here to stab N.Y.
self in the back with piece of paper
like that No"-throwing the ticket
for Redfeld & Co. from him, and draw
ing his finger across his throat, with q
slow resolute action-"I'd cut my throat
before I'd vote that ticket" And the
Times says disconsolate democrat, in
his vexation, was heard to say on the
night of election, "We could have beaten
you if it hadn't been for the ID sold

The New York Herald ON the YER
mont Election.
The New York Herald says ::

The New York Herald says
The first positive indication of the
drift of the popular tide in this presi-
dental canvass is furnished in the re-
turns Of the Vermont election, Upon
an increased popular vote, as compared
with last years election, these returns
show an increased administration ma
jority-a result which cannot be mis-
understood 1t means that all the sup
posed diSsensions and divisions in the
administration camps amount to moth
ing, now that the issue has been mar
rowed down to cold Abe" or the Chi.
cago peace platform. 1t means that the
personal popularity Of General McClel-
Ian, as the war is now going, will be
lost upon that platform that the peo-
pie of the loyal states will soon adhere
to the idea that Grant, Sherman and
Forragut are on the right road to peace,
and that they must be supported, what
ever may be the delinquencies of the ad-
ministration. A few days hence the
state election in Maine, we guess, will
60 the same way as this of Vermont, and
early in October, from all the signs Of
the times, we may look for similar re-
suits from the state elections of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana. As they go so
will the presidential election go in No

action at work in the popular mind in

The RETuRNs.-The vote on county
officers for this county so far as received,
not being materially different from that
ON state officers, it is not deemed impor-
tant to publish it, until the returns are

The vote on member Of congress, also,
is not generally variant enough from the
vote on the state ticket to demand a
