Westminster and WalpoIe Free
Bridge.

Mr. EDITOR Your West Parish View
considers our last communication" vague
and he acknowledges that he is discour-
aged In his attempts to answer. Indeed.
We were aware that the leaders of the
crusade against the free bridge, began to
see things rather vague" and to be dis.
couraged. These misty appearances and
this Encouragement on their part began
at the time of our last town melting
They didn't drive back overth hill quite
as jubilant as they came out. That COM
plete majority, and that determined spir-
1t, to stand by the free bridge and our
plain interests and legal rights were trd-
ly discouraging to them.
West Parish View now defies" us to
name the chapter or section in the code
of the laws of Vermont that does in any
way legalize the action of the town.
Can not your correspondent of the West
Parish read, that he makes bold to DEFY
us in SO plain case? But we are not
alarmed at the defiance of theSanhedrim
of the West Parish even. Sc here II is

State Election.

In an article on the Vermont Elect
ion last week, we got some names il
Bennington County mixed-like the
present politics of that County. The
Hon. A. B. Gardner is one of the regu
lar republican candidates for Senator
out both of the republican papers there
Bennington Banner (under its new ad.
ministration) and the Manchester Jour
nal, bolt his nomination and have put up
the democratic candidate instead, Tarant
Sibley of Bennington. The result OF
all this is that another paper has been
started at Bennington called the Ben
nington Free Press, which hoists at its
mast head the straight republican ticket.
This paper is said to be printed at No
Adams, Mass, but claims that it is GO
ing to be printed at Bennington as soon
as they can get the material there for
that purpose.
There are republican divisions in both
Grand Isle and Essex Counties, and in
the latter the boilers aud democrats
have united ON one candidate for Sena-
tor and States Attorney.
The third district held Their convention
at Stowe on Thursday of last week and
UNANIMOUSLY nominated Hon. w. C. Smith
for Congress.
Among the incidents in the first dis
trict Convention was a heavy skirmish
between Ex-Congressman Woodbridge
and Judge Smith of New Haven. The
report in the Herald says Woodbridge
squelched out Smith by a whitening
look" while the report in the Freeman
gives Mr.. Smiths speech in which he
rasp Woodbridge fore and aft charging
him with all manner Of Johnsonism
Some of the papers in and out of the
State are also quite severe on the Ex-
Congressman for the part he took in the
attempt to defeat Mr.. Willard. Among
the leading supporters Of Mr.. Willard
in the Convention were Gov. Dilling-
ham of Waterbury, Judge Carpenter OF
Mortified, r. V. Marsh of Brandon,
and Gardner Of Bennington. Against
him, were DIR. Newman Of Poultney,
Woodbridge of Vergennes, Col. Proctor
Of Rutland, and Park of Bennington
the latter gentleman having seat in the
Convention during the main struggle.
No anti Willard Convention has been
called in the first district and no formal
nomination will be made, but it is sup
posed quite boltingvote may be thrown
on the day of election.
John Cain editor of the Rutland Cour-
Ter has been nominated for Congress in
the first district, by the democrats, and
he very naturally exhorts the republic
licans who are so disappointed with their
own nominations, to vote for him. The
people of the first district evidently have
great passion for editors for Congress.
as Mr.. Walton was recently the member
from that district, and amid all the dis
ELECTION none but editors have been
talked of.

The Losses.

The Springfield Republican has the
following interesting resume of the losses
which have daily occurred in the France
and Prussian war:
All reports of the losses in battle must,
for the present, be merely conjectural
but it is probable that the loss in both
armies has been at least 200,000 men,
OF these. however, only few compar-
atively have been killed, twice as many
have been wounded, and in all probab-
ly, $4,000 prisoners have been taken.-
The Germans have captured ten for ev-
cry one that has fallen into French hands.
Many of the prisoners are wounded: and
a great l.. any, wounded and unwounded,
have deserted or straggle from the
great armies. If all the deaths, includ-
ing those outright, from wounds and
from sickness, amount to 100000 by
September, it will be more than we be-
lieve have taken place. The other hun
bred thousand are alive, and will remain
50 of these a majority are French, no
doubt; while Of the deaths, probably
three-fiiths or two thirds are Germans.
There is report that the French lost
$4,000 men in the last great battle at
Renzonville or Gravelotte, on the 18th.
1t may be useful to recall the slaugh-
ter of some of our famous battles, for
comparison with those lately fought in
France. Murfreesboro, Dec. 81, 1862,
there were $4,000 men engaged, in both
armies. and the loss was $4,000, or al
most one-third of the combatants. At
Gettysburg, July Sand 4, 1868, the num-
Der of men engaged being upward OF
100000, the loss on both sides ap roach
ed closel y to 10000 men, and of these
three-fourths were killed or wounded,
the confederates thus losing $4,000 men,
and the Union army 10000. During
the six week that followed the beginnin,
Of Lees movement to the North, his loss
amounted to about 10000 men, of whom
almost three-fourths were killed or wound
ed and in the same weeks the Union
army had, it is probable, $4,000 men
disposed of in the same way. In the
81 days that followed the opening cam
paign of Gen. Grant, in Virginia, May
8, 1864, the army under his command
had about $4,000 men killed or wound
ed, without counting those who at the
same time fell in the army of the James
or in the smaller bodies engaged in Vir-
ginia , and Gen. Lee had about $4,000
men killed or wounded.

Every republican ought to feel it
duty as well as just pride to attend the
polls next Tuesday, and thus give his
support to the administration which DUR
ing the first eighteen months of its exis-
tence, has paid one hundred and fifty
millions of the public debt. Through
Congress it has also largely reduced the
burdens of taxation many of which are
now discontinued altogether, among
them the ten dollar tax on all the small
traders and manufacturers.

The War.

The war news this week shows the
Prussians to be advancing. A battle
was fought on Sunday in which the Prus-
slams are reported victorious. 1t may
be this battle was greater and of more
importance than is yet known as few de-
tails have been received The Prussians
have also captured the town Of Vitry,
with 800 prisoners and 16 guns. An
other great battle is also reported as
having taken place on Monday and
Tuesday and still going on.
