The Vermont Election.

The intelligence this morning from the
Green Mountain State. is still more deci-
sive. The defeat of the democrats is
overwhelming. The republican major-
ity is reported to be 10000, an increase
Of ten thousand over the majority of last
year.-This makes the percentage Of gain
in one year fifty per cent. We are not
surprised that The democratic leaders feel
this staggering blow. 1t shows that the
ground swell ofpublic sentiment is ag-
ainst their revolutionary, rcpudiating and
business disturbing platform. Intelligent
voters like the people of Vermont where
nearly every one can read and write, so
comprehend the dangerous principles of
the New York platform that they stamp
it under an avalanche of popular wrath
10000 is terrific majority when the
poll of votes does not exceed 10000. 1t
is equivalent to majority of 10000 in
Wisconsin. 1t is perfect burial

The local editor of the Fond du Lac
Commonwealth, who was soldier du'
ring the war and for a time prisoner
10 the hands of the rebels, writes the
following personal Renaissance
On tue race course, about mile from
the city of Charleston, South Carolina,
in October, 1864, two men were carry
ing their fellow prisoner of war to his
last loug home. One ofthe pail bear
ers, if, indeed. they may be called such,
was a brother of the dead man. The
corpse presented an appearance that
would have sent cold chill to the very
heart Of man who bad not before wit
messed, and become haraeued to similar
scenes. The man had died in prison,
and before he was taken out, the men as
was customary. driven to the last ex
tremety to obtain sufficient clothing to
cover their max edness. had appropriated
all he had, leaving him only his under
garments for winding sheet. He had
long suffered from scurvy; the cords of
his legs were so contracted that he had
not been able to straiten his limbs for
weeks. his flesh had become black and
hard in many places, as is always the
case when a person has this truly terri
BILE disease; his face, hands, and feet
were bloated to twice their usual size;-
while his eyes protruded. Previous to
his death he had no shelter, and during
the last three days he laid upon muddy
ground, his hair hung full and his face
covered with mud. The men carrying
the corpse, who themselves looked like
ghosts strayed from the tomb. stopped
to rest. AS they did SO well dressed
resident of Charleston, who happened to
be riding past in his carriage, stopped to
look at the corpse. Observing him one
of the prisoners remarked, "this is pretty
hard, isn't it!" "Eo, d-n him that's
just the way all ofyou d--n Yankees
ought to be served" was the brutal re-
ply!
Reader, need we tell you who that
citizen of Charleston will vote for the
coming Presidential election? If be is
not already scorchipg in the hell his
malisnity deserves he will vote, for Sey-
meur and Blair. Think you that the
brother pail bearer will vote for the same
men?
