PROMOTIONS IN THE 18th REeIMENT.-
The Governor has made the following pro-
motions in the l7th Regiment Major l.. Il.
Knapp to be Lieut. Colonel. Adjt. James s.
Peck to be Major. 1t is but just to say that
these officers we're long since recommended
to the Governor for promotion, but the num-
Der of men requisite TO secure their muster,
has prevented the issue Of the commissions
which they hold as honorary appointments
from the State, the Governor desiring that all
officers Of returning Regiments should, so far
as the State is concerned, wear all the hon-
ors they have won. Major Peck since his re-
turn, has been presented with very elegant
corps badge, the gift Of a number Of his old
friends, who wished to recognize in this way
their appreciation Of his services to the coun-
trY.-Iimes.

the package and determine whether he will

both legal and sensible, which latter cannot

That Of the other states will stand thus:-

The proposition now seriously made by
some is,-that having destroyed the military
power of the rebel states, and in the process
having reduced the number of white voters
by one third or one half we shall bestow
upon those who remain political power in
such manner that one illiterate. uusubdued
rebel in North or South Carolina, (in which
states only the minority of ,ohte men can
read or write,) shall Deutr'lize the votes Of
two to four educated intelligent farmers in
Illinois or mechanics in New England.
But it may be said that this dlsproportion
cannot take effect until after the spportlon-
ment under the census Of 1870 bat let us
see how the case stands, undr, the apportion-
ment actually made upon tue census Of 1860

ApJUrANr GENERAL WAsHBuRN's RE-
PoRr.-At late meeting in Boston Of the
Adjutapt Generals of the severals states, Ad-
iutant General Washburn of this state, said
that Of the 81, AGO men which Vermont fur
nished for the United States government
service, he cou d give detailed account Of
every one save dfty--a fact which shows how
thoroughly the business Of his office has
been attended to. We expect to see the
valuable work embodied in bis last annual
report, carried out to completion in bis report
for the present year. All the reports from
his office since he entered upon bis duties,
have been Of eminent importance, and the
entire series will constitute documents Of
great historical interest and consequence for
the present aud future generations. The re-
cord OF Vermont in relation to the rebelli. n,
is one Of which her people may justly be
proud, and the state is to be congratulated
on having bad its military records in such
able hands ss those Of Hon. Peter T. Wash

WHAT SOUTHERN REPRESENTA-
TIVES WILL REPRESENT


II new spportionment Of the representa-
tives in Congress should be made upon the
basis of the census Of 1860 and in accordance
with the principle adopted as to fractions in
the act Of March 4, 1862, the House would
consist Of 243 members instead of 24l (not
including the representative from Nevada, as
that State has been since admitted.
IL the colored people Of the South are couu-
ted in full, the former slave States would gain
II representatives and the free States would
lose 10.
If fractions Of 40 and over should not be
counted, the number Of representatives, would
he less and the preportionate gain of the South
would be greater. Upon the principle OF the
act OF 1862 the following States would gain !:
Alabama, 2 /; South Carolina, 2 Georgia, !;
Kentucky, Louisiana, / Mississippi, !;
North Carolina, | Tennessee. l Texas, {;
Virginia, (; and the following States would
lose ;-Pennsylvania, 2 California, lii
nois, Indiana, Iowa, | 4; Minnesota,
l New York, l Ohio, Rhode Island, l..
The representation of the free States would
be l46, eeing to each l27, 70l white inhsbi-
tants the representation of the former slave
States would be 81, being to each s2,S76
white inhabitants.
II the loyal colored men Of the South are
thus counted in the apportionment and not
allowed to vote, the political value or power
of the several rebel States will be in the ex-
act proportion of the intensity Of their dsloy-
al sentiments.
The representations of the free States will
stand thus -
l4e-i to each 1877 ST. White inhabitants.
That of the her tates will stand thus

The HydePark Newsdealer says. considera-
BILE talk is had in reference to branch rail-
road from Waterbury to Stowe. Gov Smith
OF St. Adams and several other " heavy"
railroad men were at Stowe some time since
partly for the purpose of investigating this
matter. They thought the road could be
easily built by following up the Waterbury
river Whether this project will end in
" talk or whether sufficient capital can be
raised to carry it out successfully are now
the main question:.

1t will be observed that that the white in
habitanss of Mississippi, South Carolina,
Louisiana, Florida, Georges. Alabama aud
North Carolina, will have 35 representatives
in the next Congress and when we consider
that the rebellion failed mainly because the
larger part of the able-boded men in those
states had been destroyed by the war, it must
be admitted that every vote cast in those
states will be equal to three votes in the
North or East.
And by refusing to grant the right of suf-
frage to the loyal colored men of the South,
we shall in fact leave to the next House of
Representatives thus constituted the control
Of the practical leg station IN which the credit
Of the nited States is to depend for all time
to come.-Boston advertiser.
