Letter from Gen. Averill,

Amongts the federal officers of cavalry who
served during the late war, none made bet
ter reputation than Maj. Gen. W. W. Averill.
In the Shenandoah Valley he was recognized
as skillful soldier, whilst his kind treatment
of the people of that section and respect for
private property won him hosts of friends
even amongst that thoroughly Southern pop
ulation. 1t having been announced with a
flourish OF trumpets that Gen. Averill had
signed the call for soldiers convention, to be
held in Pittsburg, in the interests of Grant
the General has written letter declining any
participation in the proposed convention. AT
ter sketching hastily the cause and results of
the late war, Gen. Averill says: s.f-. r.
"These results, which cost us so many lives
and so much money, were accepted by the
South. The people, with habit of concen-
trating all praise or all blame on an individual.
selected Gen. Grant as the ideal, on whom
they bestowed all honor and all power. Since
George Washington, to no American citizen
has been afforded such great opportunities as
to Ulysses S. Grant, and no man, living or
dead has ever exhibited such absolute lack of
intelligence to understand or of will to en-
brace them. That he has had the necessary
power has been shown by his ability to make
extraordinary exertions for the success of
many unworthy and unconstitutional schemes
without provoking articles of impeachment.
His first great opportunity to reconcile this
people, to heal the national wounds bv the
first intention, was utterly disregarded What
had he to fear? No human power could alter
the results of the war. Union and democracy
were assured forever. The soldiers of the
South had not only laid down their arms, but
had at once gone to hard work at various oc-
equations, formerly despised, showing that
they had well learned the lessons of the war;
Every consideration of honor, dignity, and
even of mercy, demanded that we should ems
courage them in their struggle for life and
peace, no less heroic than their conduct in
battle. The shattered fragments of their
former social structure were ready at hand to
reconstruct society on democratic foundation
but those fragments have been ground into
dust under the vindictive heel o. u S. Grant
and the men who control him. Ignorant.
superstitious negroes, who will abide with us
forever, have not been instructed in the duties
of self-government but by the special efforts
of the President and his cabinet and other
officials they have had their apprehensious
aroused and race hatred begotten. IF this
be peace, then the frmest rallying cry of his
partisans, Let US have peace is a cruel
mockery."
In conclusion he says he shall make every
proper effort in his power toward securing the
election of Horace Greeley

ELECTION j & DAY.

Thursday sthe 22nd inst; election day,
passed fnast quietly as IF there had been
nothing unusual to excite our people. 1t
would have been difficult for any one unac-
quainted with the fact to have told that, the
large crowd in our streets had congregated for
the purpose of deciding whether or not all
persons, without regard to past or present po>
litical opinions, should enjoy equal rights as
citizens. The issue atstake was all important
and it will be seen by reference to another
column that the vote upon the Constitution
was party gain of seventy-two; the majority
"For Ratification" being 791. 1t will be re-
membered that the majority in this county for
the Constitutional Convention was 719 The
Constitution ran ahead of Camden by 40S
votes This is easily accounted for by the
fact that many of our firmest democrats voted
s'For Ratification" and Gov. Jacob; the latter
receiving also the solid Radical vote If the
Constitution be carried, that will be glory
enough for one day, and although VIC voted
for Mr.. Camden principally because his OPP
poneut, in our opinion, never did come out in
manly way for the Constitution, it will be
a matter of comparatively little importance
whether Jacob or Camden is to be the first
Governor under the new Constitution. The
vote for or against Ratification, and not the
vote for or against Jacob, is the true test of
party strength in this county.

JEFFERSON CRY, Aug. s, 1872.
Gentlemen of the Committee 81 have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of your COM
muuication advising me that have been
unanimously nominated as candidate for the
Vice Presidency of the United States by the
Democratic National Convention at Baltimore.
For this mark of confidence on the part of so
large representative body of my fellow citi-
zens, cannot too deeply express my graft
tade. The distinction is one which L feel to
be In a great measure undeserved where so
many more suitable could have been found,
. and yet that feeling will render me doubly
soicitious, should your action be confirmed, to
discharge the duties of that high place with
fidelity to your trust with devotion to the pub
lie interest and with an iniexible resolution to
prove not unworthy of such choice.
The fact that it reposes also on the decla-
ton of principles affirmed by the Liberal Re-
publicans at Cincinnati, and proclaimed with
out amendments by the Democratic party at
Baltimore gives assurance that in this COM
blned expression there is sought only the de-
llverance of the nation from present great
peril to its peace and to that end all minor
considerations have been subordinate and an
illustration presented to the country of the uu-
selfish patriotism rather than any sickling for
PaftiLau advantage whlch should convince all
OF the perfect sincerity of this movement
1t has involved no surrender on either part
OF any former convictions. 1t has not been
negotiated or bargained, its origin was from
the people, though differing in the past in
some issues of great magnitude, yet now that
they are settled, there is hearty concurrence
between us all upon the vital questions aeita-
ting the public mind. r.
What the conduct of national affairs that
involves, your convention was we'll set forth
in its platform, and its true accord with Dem
ocratic ideas that guided our earlier adminis>
tratioDs is the best guaranty that it will restore
equal rights tranquil development and consti-
tutional rule.
Permit me also, gentlemen through You to
express my thanks to the great masses of your
party, who have since ratified yonr action
with such signal unanimity, and to say to
them that in accepting this, their nomination,
DO SO, believing there is nothing in honor
or in conscience that should prevent the most
cordial cooperation henceforth in behalf of
the policies presented
In concluding, it is necessary to state that
severe illness has interfered with the recep.
ton OF your communication, which has de-
iayed this reply until my recovery and return
home
With very great respect, yours truly,

NOTICE.,

We think it but simple justice to ourselves
to call the attention of our friends throughout
this Congressional District to the fact that JEFF.
ferson county in the fight on last Thursday,
not only acquitted herself nobly, but did even
more than ought to have been expected of
her. The vote on the call of the Constitu-
tional Convention, was carried in the affirma-
tive by 719 majority. The majority, on last
Thursday, "For Ratification" was 791...a gain
of ~ votes. Now we ask our trans Alle-
ghany friends whether, after having magnani.
mously overlooked the slight put upon US by
the Parkersburg Convention, we are not en-
titled TO some reward for having again borne
the brunt of the battle
We are sure traus-Alleghany will answer in
the affirmative. That question then having
been answered afhrmatively, we would like to
ask our cis>Alleghany friends, and the Demo-
cratic Conservative party of Berkeley county
particularly, whether Jefferson county Is OF
entitled to the next political honor within the
gift of the Democratic Conservative party of
this Congressional District? Are we to keep
on forever piling up Democratic>C Conservative
majorities, thereby keeping up the party or
ganization, and let others run away with all
the spoils of the victory? Berkeley went
against the Constitution by about $50 ma
jority. Jefferson went "For Ratification" BY
majority of 791. If, in the Congressional
