Tbe Vermont State election, held on the 3d, resulted in the election of the entire Re publican State and Congressional ticket, by a somewhat reduced majority. The Governor-elect Is Col. Iledfield Proctor, of Rut land. The New Hampshire National Greonback Convention was held at Manohester on tbe 0th. Warren G. Brown, of Whlteleld, was nominated for Governor. The Vermont State election, held on the 3d, resulted in tbe eleoiion of tbe entire Republican State and Congressional tleket, by a somewhat reduced majority. The Gov ernor-elect is Col. Itedfield Proctor, of Rut land. Later returns from the Maine election Indicate quite conclusively that while Connor, Republican, has a decided plurality of the vote for Governor, he lacks the majority necessary to elect, and la consequence the choice of Governor and other State officials will fall upon the twe Houses the Lower House designating two names from which the Upper House must choose the Governor. As the Democrats and Greenbackers will have a majority ia the Lower House, they will of course send up tbe names of their respective candidates, Gareelon and Smith, and it Is intimated tht the former will be selected by tbe Senate as Governor. .

The Republican Congressmen appear to have beeH elected in the sirs t three districts, but in tbe Fourth Dlstrlu Powers, Republican, is defeated by Ladd, the Democratic Greenback candidate, and in the Fifth Hale is probably defeated by Marsh, Greenbacker. Later returns from the Vermont election indicate that Barlow, the Greenback candidate for Congress In tbe Third District, has beaten both of his competitors, and Is probably elected, although, as it requires a majority vote to elect, another vote may be necessary. The New Hampshire Republican State Convention nominated Nathan Head for Governor and adopted a hard-money platform. , The Boston Democrats have chosen Butler delegates to their State Convention. rOXSKIGN. A Belgrade dispatch of the 4th says that 22,000 Austrian, with a flotilla, am advancing to relieve Gen. Szapary. They can not reach Daboj before the end of the week.

The Hartford Times of Aug. 30 says : "The Meriden correspondent of tho Times sends us samples of ears of corn, taken from a field in that vicinity, which have been ruined by a devouring post, and with them samples of the bug which does the mischief. It is,a good-sized six-legged, evil-looking bug, rather larger and much Hatter than tne potatobug; in color brown, and having a wide body and very small head, the latter provided with a pair of m:tll anionnic, or feelers.' The creature begins his ravages at the tip-end of the ear of corn, and devours the kernels as he works onward towards tho butt leaving in hit track only :i dirty moss of brown husks of the separate kernels, after having devoured tho substance. Our correspondent in Burlington, a locality perhaps 12 or 15 miles northwest of Meriden, sends us an account of the alarming ravages of a new pest there, which may be this same creature. Our Burlington correspondent says fields of corn are ruined almost in a single day, and, further, that acres of grass land will suddenly turn brown and dead, and the turf itself can he raked off the roots having all been cut by the ravages of something which the Burlington farmers believe to be the same bug that ruins the corn."

It is estimated that In the suspension ol business ou the Mississippi Klvr south ol Memphis over fifty steambbate are tied up, and their crews discharged. Longshoremen and gangs of stevedores and other laborers, who were engaged in receiving and dU. charging of trelgut, are without employment. Four great linos of railroads are paralyzed, and their employees are Idle. Nearly every place of business iu cities and towns where the fever prevails are closed and their em. ployees are .discharged. These employees are poor and dependent upou their labor for support. It Is estimated that of these uncmtoyed men there are in New Orleans 5,ooo. lemphls 8,000, Vioksburg 2,090 and smaller towns 2,000, making a total ot 27,000 discharged worklngmen, most of whom are heads of families, and represent a total population of not let than Jut.wo in actual and desolate want. These people have no means to get away from the pest-rldden cities; for them there Is' no labor, no wages, no bread. JfOTHIKO BUT UKATH OK STARVATION, and this condition must last at least for fifty days, for there will be no stay of the pestilence, no resumption of business until frost. Averaging the support of each Individual at 20 cents per day, which is 10 cents less tlmn the cost of an army ration, for fifty days support the suffering and destitute will coat $l,(0,ooo, and this for subsistence alonenothing for uuHllclnes, clothing and proper sustenance for the sick and burial ot the dead has been taken into account In this calculation.

Let Vleksliurg,.
