Gen. ROSecranS' Virginia Mission.

We have liking for Gen Rosecrans II
his fortune had equaled his ability, he would
now most probably be high officer in the
army. We were glad to have him our Mex
lean Minister, for we felt he would do the
country service. We do not feel so well sat
isfed with his Sulphur Springs mission
Since the valiant Don Quixote went forth to
fight the windmills, we have known of nc
mission more absurd. Gen Rosecrans means
well-and if he could dictate terms of recon
ciliation, there would be some hope OF their
general acceptability. Unfortunately, we
know too well the nature of the terms he will
obtain from the Southern leaders He right

generals would have on the Rebels of the
South-but it is folly to suppose that their in
Huence will be materially changed Take
the case of Lee. If we believed in construct
i've treason, or admitted the popular doctrine
that rebellion should be punished by hang
ing, we should take Gen. Lee as a conspic-
uous example. Of all the Rebels, civil and
military, he was perhaps the most gifted the
most dangerous, and the most wanton. AS
soldier he carried the confidence of his chief
to the camp of Rebellion, and aided in sway

provocation- Men rebelled from fanaticism.

THE ELECTION IN VERMONT.
GREAT REPUBLICAN GAINS.
1000 REPUBLICAN GAIN.

The sound Republican State of Vermont
did nobly yesterday, not only answering the
hopes of her warmest friends, but happily
disappointing them by this grand Republican
victory. The gains in the towns which we
give below indicate an increase of from 1000
to 10 900 over Gov. Pages majority of last
year which was then 90 The vote is
the largest cast in the State for many years,
and shows what Vermont can do when the
Republicans make an effort. Some of our
friends in other states thought we should do
well to hold our own, but we desire them to
understand that Vermont has not now even
done all that is possible in the way of major
tiles, but could have added, if the canvass
had been opened week earlier, 5000 to the
majority now reached. Now let other states
initiate our example.
Senatorial returns from eight towns in
Franklin County give Barlow 81 majority
over Atwood, insuring Barlows election,
and making the Senate unanimously Repub-
ican.

FINANCIAL FACTs.-In addition to the
heavy war expenditure rendered necessary by
the Democratic Party, to suppress the Rebel
lion of it's Southern wing, the country was
left, at the close of the war account, with
obligations amounting to three thousand mil
lion dollars, and not one cent Of the tohole
amount ,could hare been a burden on the coun-
try, if Democrats had not fired on Fort Sum
ter.
Since the war account closed, the Republi-
cans have carried on the building of the
great Pacific Railroad, conducted an expen-
sive Indian war. administered the ordinary
affairs of government at a relatively less cost
than the Democrats under Buchanan, great

| From July Is, 1866, to March 81, 1868,
the Republican Congress passed laws reduc-
ina taration, annually, one hundred and seuen-

During the fiscal year ending June 80,
1868, the army expenses were ffty-six mil

numbers sixty regiments) and during that
year an expensive Indian war was waged.

of which was nearly twenty-five millions
dollars, or Deer one million dollars per regi-

for thirty-three millions or little ouer half a

MONTPELIER Election.

The election in Montpelier yesterday was
largely attended and more exciting than anv
for many years. The caucus, Saturday eve
ming, discovered division so nearly eoua
between the supporters of Mr.. Richardson
and those of Mr.. Walton, that although Mr.
Richardson had one majority and was de-
clared the nominee of the party, those sup
porting MIR. Walton declined to abide Bv the
result, and appealed to the ballot-box.
After the first ballot Mr., Walton requested
his supporters to vote for Mr.. Richardson
but they refused to do so, as appeared bv
subsequent ballotings
Personally, Mr.. Richardson and Mr.
walton neither sought nor desired the
nomination nor election, and the chief mat
Ter OF regret now is that the opposition to
Mr.. Richardson could not have been known
IN season for him to have withheld his name
entirely from the consideration of the voters
OF the town, as he most certainly would have
done.

GOOD TALK.-It is rare to find 4 better
feeling or clearer sense, than in the follow
ing remarks of Gen. Meaney before the
military committee of the Tennessee Legisla-
ture. Gen. Meaney is really reconstructed,
after the best fashion. If the southern peo-
pie can bring themselves to take sensible
view OF the situation, their troubles will all
be over in that fact itself This does not
sound much like Frank Blair, but perhaps it
sounds as we'll -
= We frankly and earnestly express the
hope you will not deem it necessary to or
ganize state force now, or ever again, for
protection against disorder. We will not
pretend any and every disorder shall be toll
Grated rather than organize such force, but
we mean that it is best to first see if we can
not guard against disorder otherwise than by
resort to this Objectionable means. And at
this point it is proposed for ourselves GER
tainly, and we think it is the proposition of
all we have conferred With to regard and
obey the laws not we would regard them,
but as they are in letter upon the statute
book, untilthe same be repealed. In word.
1t Is our conclusion that the speediest means
t. obtain the laws may desire, is to faith
fully obey the laws as they are. Fin these
statements we represent the masses with
whom we were identified in the late conflict,
then certainly there is no necessity for resort
70 the extraordinary means of state militia to
preserve peace. In what we say do not
only propose to express the particular opin-
ion OF ourselves now with you, but on careful
consideration believe we but say what the
men who bore guns and knapsacks during
the war Will fully sanction. We recognize
IN full all the state authorities We have
no purpose to overthrow them, and believe
there is no such purpose with others. We
propose dutiful submission to the laws and
all lawful authority. We believe a land so
favored by nature should be tenanted by
united and contented people, and we are be-
fore you to pledge our honest and best efforts
to secure this end. We will not presume to
advise course Of legislation, but we are here
with honest hearts, and if it be thought by
any one of your committee that we can i'm
part any light or information desirable to you
We are ready to mako honest answers to ques-
tons you may propose

The suit which has Just been decided
against the United States in the French courts
involved about a million of our money in
gold, and from its Importance and the repu-
tation of the counsel engaged, it must take
rank as one of the celebrated causes The
suit was brought by Mr.. Bigelow, when
Minister to France, against Messrs. Arman
4 Co, ship-builders, to recover the balance
of certain moneys which they received from
the sale of war steamers to the late Con-
iederacy. They were paid out of the pro-
ceeds of the rebel cotton loan, which money
is naturally wanted back by our Government.
The counsel for the United States were
NJ. Berger and Henry Moreau, two of the
most distinguished members of the French
bar, and NJ Berryer's argument seems fully
to sustain his reputation. In it he de-
nounced the purpose and the spirit of the
rebellion not emitting it to aid or sympa-
thy, and then proceeded to show that the
Messrs. Arman directly and fraudulently
violated the laws of France on the subject of
neutrality. He demonstrated NJ. Arman's
Implicitly toward the Government, his tricks
and his falsehood, and closed with quite an
respect for . the appeal of a great nation
which has faith in itself in the force of
those sacred principles that belong alike to
all honest men in all great nations
But it seems that the judges thought his
points not proven, and the French ship
builders pocket the money for transaction
that is one of the most notorious of the
war.

THE SouTH.-The crop of cotton and other
staples which the Southern planters will raise
this year will be their own to far greater
extent than any of the crops they have raised
during the last two or three years. Last
year, and the year before. great part of the
crop had to go for the payment of advances
that were made to the planters. The pro-
ceeds of the crops did not go into the pockets
of those who raised them, but into the hands
of those who had loaned the means. This
year, however, the planters, to much great
er extent than before, started out clear
The reason, doubtless, in most cases, was
that they could not obtain advances in the
North or elsewhere, SO hard was money to
procure on Southern account. On these
grounds the crop this year in the South will
realize more benefit to the planters than in
previous wears.

A meeting of the co,ored citizens O

A meeting of the coiored citizens of Mem
phis was held on the evening of the 18th
ult., in that city. The Post says;
90 1t was DRILLING, but it having been re-
ported that a colored conservative had been
offered fifty dollars to fire into the crowd in
order to give the rebel roughs an opportu-
nifty for setting upon them, they determined
to meet upon the bluff, whatever the conse-
quences. Meeting with no interference, and
the rain still falling they returned and held
their meeting in the municipal courtroom
The courtroom was packed full, with many
standing in the hall. Brief speeches We're
made, after which the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The Memphis Appeal and Ar
aldnche and few democratic orators of this
city, have from time to time, charged that

bloody collision between citizens of our city
and country therefore, be it
&" Resolved, That we, colored Republicans,
III mass meeting assembled, citizens of Mem
phis, do hereby take this occasion to most
emphatically deny their unjust and unwar-
ranted charge upon our people and the
members of the Republican party that we
have no knowledge whatever of any colored
persons, especially radicals or Republicans,
either in or out of the city of Memphis, that
belong to any organization, company, band,
or squad of military character, or that
drill for any purpose whatever that we be
lieve all such are rumors merely, untounded
in fact, and existing only in the imaginations
of few old women and fanatical democratic
editors and speakers in our midst, and we
hereby call upon the aforesaid editors-it
they have any regard for our race-to make
good their professions of friendship by pro-
ducing the proof in the proper manner, max c
good their charge, and, upon failure to DO
this, or repetition of the same. without
proof, come from whatever source it may,
we shall regard the same as an unjust and
miserable SANDER, gotten up for political and
party purposes, at the expense of our good
name and fame.
