WASHINGTON NEws.-A Washington
correspondent says it should be under
stood that neither the terms nor the
spirit OF the order recently issued by
Gems. Granger, Custer and others, which
require negroes to have passes from
their employers, are approved either by
Gen. Howard or the Secretary of War,
and Gen. Howard will soon issue, by
direction OF the Secretary an order,
saying substantially that in all parts of
the South no other passes shall be re-
quired OF negroes desiring to travel than
are required OF other persons.-He fur
Their says it is encouraging to note that
under the developing policy of the
Freedmen's Bureau, the condition of the
freedmen, as fast as they are reached,
rapidly improves as soon as the freed
men learn what the government re-
quires of them in their new condition.
They set about their tasks with alacrity,
and In many localities are already more
self-sustaining than the whites.
Among the applications for pardon
lately received at Washington are those
of Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, J2D. De
Bow, OF De Bows Review, the Spots
wood brothers, Of Richmond, Harry
Gilmore, the rebel raider and robber, now
under indictment at Baltimore for trea-
son, Gen. Forrest of the rebel cavalry
and Fort Pillow notoriety, and W. B.
Brook, eX-rebel Senator from Mississippi
and member Of the Convention which
passed the ordinance of secession.
Among the persons pardoned are II. NJ.
Stannard, member of the rebel Con-
sress from Virginia. John P. Ballard,
owner OF the Ballard House at Rich
mond, recently seized under the confIis-
cation act and c. Ruhin, Jr., son of
the old secessiOnist who recently blew
his brains out
The President has received a letter
from Gov. Murphy OF Arkansas, in
which the latter announces that here
after he will not recommend for pardon
residents OF that State who have partic-
ipated in the rebellion. He says this
class of persons gave such demonstra-
tions on the Fourth of July, and on
other recent occasions, as satisfied him
that they had better be kept on long
probation, and prove their loyalty by
acts ofan unmistakable character, before
their petitions for pardon should be con-
sidered

FRIDAY, JULY 81, 1865,
The Influenco OF our victory

II has been often said in this country
during the progress OF the war jus.
closed. that upon its result depenueu uo'
only the perpetuity Of democratic lhs''-
+rtjors here but also the progress TO-
,vords democracy of the nations OF the
old world. II has been long Dattle'
fought by the patriotic people OF the
limited States, in behalf OF popular gov
eminent and popular rights the world
over 1t was a grand duty-this vlndi-
cation of republican government for the
whole world-committed to the loyal
people of the United States and nobly
have they discharged it. 1t was in this
light, too, that the people of Europe, OF
all conditions, viewed the contest, and
hence the firm friendship of the liberal,
and the constant hatred and hostility OF
the aristocratic and despotic classes to-
ward us. And now we accordingly
find that the mighty influences upon
European society, likely to result from
the triumph of democracy here, are
anxiously discussed abroad The Lon
don Times very gravely says; of the
French revolution, with all it's manifold
influences on society, was the indirect
consequence of American Independence,
no one can say what changes may here
after be traced back to the crisis now in
course of development" American In
dependence was the first step in the
swift progress of this enlightened age
towards the universal establishment of
the "diviue rights of the people
against the long Wanted divine rights"
of kings and dcspOts. But it needed
this last triumph of democracy to dem
onstrate its stability, and to squelCh the
argument of its villifers that republi-
canism could only lead to anarchy and
military despotism. The masses of the
European people have looked upon our
battles as their Own-our cause as their
cause, and they only await the oppor-
tunity to extend oar victory throughout
the length and breadth OF their own
lands. Our glory it is to have led the
way,-to have fought the battles of the
oppressed OF all nations.

CLAIM FoR DAMAGE. - 1t has been
stated that Mr. Peterson, OF Washington,
the proprietor of the house in which
Pres Lincoln died, lately presented an
outrageous bill for the use of his house on
that lamentable occasion, and for damage
done to his premises. That statement
has since been denied. We are now in
formed by letter from Washington, that
Peterson did send in bill amounting
to $500, and that commission appoint
ed to investigate the amount of dam
ages, reported S128 as the utmost
which could in justice be paid. Our
correspondent says he deems the action
Of Peterson despicable in the extreme.
and he wishes him to receive the oh.
loquy he deserves.

THE SECOND REGIMENr.-This regi-
ment, 233 strong, which passed through
Rutland at about three o'clock Wednes-
day morning, arrived in Burlington at
6 IL o'clock. The regiment was met at
the depot by the committee of recep-
ton, and at once marched to the City
Hall, headed by the fine band of the Old
Brigade, who had volunteered their SER
vices for the occasion. Mayor Catlin
bid them welcome to the city, and in
troduced the Hon. Geo. f. Edmunds.
who appropriately addressed them
Col. Tracy briefly and fittingly respond
ed, when the regiment did justice to a
good breakfast, and marched to their
quarters at the hospital
The Second regiment, the first of the
old Vermont Brigade to take the field, is
thus the last to leave it. From "Bull
Run " down, it has participated in all
the great battles of the Army of the Po-
tomac. At Bull Run it was in the third
brigade of Heintzelmans division, the
brigade being commanded by COL, now
Gen. 0. o. Howard. 1t was afterwards
attached to the division of Gen.
W. +. Smith. In October 1861, the
Vermont Brigade was organized, and
from that time down, the history of the
Second is that of the brigade The reg
iment has had five Colonies: Whiting
Walbridger Stone CHILLED, May 5, 1864,
Tyler MORALLY wounded in the same
battlel, and Tracy; and only about sixty
OF the men who went out with the regi-
ment returned in its ranks. The sold

history, but in the language of Mr.. Ed

while "the lives OF individuals are short.

SECOND VT. BATTERY.-It was suppos-
ed that, after the Second regiment, no
more Vermont troops would arrive in
the state at present for muster out. But
the I'd Vermont Battery took the people
Of Burlington almost by surprise, on
Thursday. Coming from Port Hudson.
La, via Cairo, Buffalo and Troy, no in
telligence was received in Vermont of
their expected arrival. The Burlingto-
mans, however, proved themselves equal
to the emergency, and received the Bat
terry and the LIST Co. Vt. Heavy Artillery
which accompanied it, in good STYLE
Prof. Buckham Of the University, made
the reception speech, and the energetic
and patriotic ladies Of the city loaded
the tables as generously as at any of the
previous receptions.
The Second Battery was organized in
December, 1861, and left camp at Lowell,
Mass, in February 1862, under COM
mand of Capt. P. A. Holcomb, to Join
Buffers expedition against New Orleans.
1t did excellent service in the action at
Plain Store, La, near Baton Rouge, Nav
q, 1853, and was actively engaged du-
ring the siege Of Port Hudson. In Aug.
1864 the LIST vt. Bat. being mustered out
of service, SO ofits men whose term had
not expired, joined the I'd Battery; and
a surplus of recruits being subsequently
sent down for the End, the "1st Company
