The YERSeNr ELECTION The election in
Vermont, on Tuesday last as was expected,
resulted in favor of the Radicals bya majority
orc, 45o. The New York Horld, speaking Of
tae result Of this election, says: A larger vote
than that of last year was polled by both par
tics, the increase being greater on the Radical
than on Che Democratic side. The Democrats
not having bestirred Themselves during the
campaign, except 20 far as to indulge in spas
modic effort at the very last moment, allowed
the election to 60 b. default iustlyconsidering
that its result would be in no degree indicative
Of the political sentiment Of the country. The
taking Of Holland BY the Dutch and the sue
cess Of the Radicals in Vermont are identical.
The Radicals have done no better than they
did four years ago the Democrats have
done no worse.

il Response IA correspondent Of the Rich
nond W&y, who was first to give any decided
information in regard to the conference of Gen.
Rosecrans with prominent Southerners, in
letter dated White sulpher Springs, Virginia,
August 9th, says General Rosecrans address
ed a letter to General Lee and others, in
which he propounded sundry inquiries to Gen.
Lee, among others, whether we can hope for
any permanent peace and prosperity under the
| present congressional plan of reconstruction,
! which surrendcrs to the control of negroes and
few whites nearly all Of the Southern States
whether, if the whites were all enfranchised
and given the control of the South, they
would treat the negroes justly and kindly, etc
General Rosecrans requested General Lee to
confer with other leading Southern generals
and civilians, and obtain their views in con-
nection with his own.
careful and well-digested statement was
prepared addressed TO General Rosecrans, in
reply to his letter. All the parties to the con-
ference signed it, and others are expected to do
So After General Lees name came that of
Beauregard, and the signature of Stephens, of
Georgia, is third ON the list. General Lee, in
his reply states that he believes the people of
the South sincerely desire peace and o res tora-
sibe that the country can prosper while the
control and management of the governments
Of the States of the South remained in the
hands Of the negroes and few whites, and
while the mass Of men representing intelligence
are disfranchised. He believes if the whites
are relieved of all political disabilities, and
thereby given ascendcncy, that they will, if
left to themselves, treat the negroes with kind
ness, forbearance and justice The Southern
people, in his opinion, regard the questions of
slavery and secession as settled finally by the
war, and they have no disposition or inclina-
ton to rc-estabished the one or again try the
other
1t is the unanimous wish, says Gen Lee, of
the Southern people that we shall have lasting
peace. The people of the South have the great
est interest in having good and stable gov
erninent, that will protect them in their rights
and property, and under which they may 90
TO work properly, and with the confidence that
whatever they may accumulate by their labor
may be secure for themselves and their chill

serts emphaticaly the declarations of the CON
sentative conventions Of the South.

SECOND WARD CLUB MEETING.-At a
meeting of the Democracy of the Second
Ward, held at Squire Gnlick's office, last
evening, Judge II. NJ. Albery was called to
the chair, and J. st. John Clarksonl elected
Secretary. A committee appointed for that
purpose, reported constitution for the
government Of the club, and the following
named gentlemen as permanent officers
George w. Manypenny, President; 81. B.
Smythe, Vice President; Robert w. Len
nox, Secretary; r. Nevins, Treasurer;
j. st. John Clarkson, w. P.2Browns e. p.
Sergeant, James Smith and A. D. Hefner,
Executive committed. Quite a number
signed the constitution, and the officers
elected assumed their positions Colonel
Manypenny, on taking the chair, proceeded
to address the club in stirring termso n th
duty of the members in the present
emergency. He said there is a. general
and capital error prevailing among men
who labor unprofitably with persons on
whom years of argument would have no
effect, while men who have only to under
stand the truth to adopt it are entirely
neglected. Four years more of such legis-
lation as we have had for the past four
years, said the speaker, would so wreck the
liberties of the American people that we
may never hope to secure them again.
There is such departure from principles
and promises by the party in power that
we have very little of the Government
given by the trainers OF the Constitution
left to us. The speech was warmly ap-
plauded at its close. He was followed by
Msssrs. Albery, Clarkson and others in
bri,f addresses. The regular meeting night
of the club will be Thursday of each week,
