THE GREAT REBELLION.
The Government of the United States is
now undergoing that ordeal through which
all nations sooner or later have to pass. The
thing to be determined is whether it posses-
ses the capacity Of self-preservation. We
have complacently read the hist orics Of oth-
er countries, and have Observed, perhaps,
that all of .them, at some period, have had
this trial to encounter, but we have hardly
dreamed that the common lot would finally
overtake ourselves. And so it has come up-
on us and found us all unprepared, and but
for the blunder of J efi‘erson Davis in order-
ing the bombardmeht of Fort Sumter, before
the treacherous plans of Virginia were ripe
for execution, the Capitol of the Republic
might today have been in the hands of trai-
tors. That disgrace cannot now happen,but
there may be danger of another and a much
deeper one.
The sublime uprising of the people Of the.
loyal States has settled the fact that our Gov-
ernment is to continue, in name at least, on
the basis of the old Constitution. Whether
that Government is to make apeace with the
leaders Of rebellion, whereby treason shall
go unpunished and Secession be established
as a Constitutional remedy for alleged griev-
ances is not so clear. Upon the solution of
this doubt depends the permanent existence
of the Republic. A State which cannot
punish a traitor has no more capacity for
self-government than a society which cannot
punish a murderer. A Government which
makes terms of peace with rebels is over—
thrown, and should no longer pretend to ex~
ist. An Administration which shall persist
in saying to treason “‘we shall not assail you,
-we stand only on the defensive,” will prove
itself incompetent for any of its high func-
tions.
There is but one wise policy; Secession
which declares that there is no Government
of the United States, that each State may, by
ordinance of its own, discharge all the Obli-
gations of all its citizens to the Federal au-
thority—Secession, which would thus anni-
hilate the Government, must be annihilated
by the Government. The declaration of the
President’s Inaugural, that he will not ap-
point judges or marshals for the infected
Districts should be reconsidered; federal Of-
ficers should be appointed everywhere,send-
ing them, if necessary from the loyal States
into the disloyal. Indictments for treason
should be found against Jefferson Davis,
Robert Toombs, Rhett, Yancey, and some
hundreds Of others, and placed in the hands
of federal marshals, backed by an army of
two hundred thousand men, for service; and
the ring-leaders of the rebellion should be
arrested, tried, convicted and hung.
There is no middle course between this
and submission to the demands of the trai-
tors, and the sooner the Government and the
people realize this fact, the better for all con-
cemed. The eyes of all but the wilfully
blind are at last Opened to the truth that
Slavery has been the parentof rebellion and
civil war in its propagation of the doctrine
of the supremacy of State authority over that
of the Federal Government, and the conse-
’ quent outgrowth therefrom of the dogmas
Of Secession; and the gabbie about new
concessions or guarantees to an institution
which has proved itself so potent for mis-
chief is now ended forever. That avenue to
peace is closed.
Neither will the people of the United
States consent to part with any portion of
the territory of the Republic. The borders
of the Gulf were not bought by the Nation
to be stolen by rebels. If the Secessionists of
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Lousiana, and
the other disloyal States do not like our gov-
ernment, they can emigrate, but the soil of
those States must remain in the Un-
ion, even if the population has to be replen-
ished from the more loyal portions of the
country. Dlsum'on will not 'be permitted,
and thus that avenue to peace is closed.
There is only one other way to peace, and
that is by crushing, speedily, effectually and
forever, the disturbers of the peace, and
we believe the Government is fully prepared
to fulfill its duty, at any and every cost.

W The “ Military Bill,” unanimously
passed by our Legislature on Friday, will
be found in our columns to-day. It places
Connecticut in the foremost rank of patriot-
ic States. The section granting our volun-
teers a bonus of $10 per month is much
commended everywhere, and will relieve
many towns of a similar obligation vglunta-
rily assumed. We would suggest that in-
stead of any withholding of such appropri-
ations or guarantees by the towns, the money
be used for the benefit of the families of all
such as leave others behind, dependent on
their support. ‘

MEETING AT STAMFORD.
The following resolutions were passed at a
meeting held in Stamford on Saturday :
WHEREAS, In obedience to a requisition of
the President of the U. S., the Executive
of this State has called for volunteers to
aid in putting dOWn arebellion that is now
raging in a portion of our common coun-
try, and threatening the destruction of the
Capitol which bears the honored name of
WASHINGTON; to assist in restoring to our
Government the forts, arsenals and prop-
erty which has been stolen and are now
held by traitors, and in lifting the stars
and stripes of our National Flag, now be-
ing trailed in the dust by rebels and seces-
sionists, to their proper places, where they
may again float to the breeze over a land
dfdicatetl to Freedom by our sires of ’76.
nd
\VIIEREAS, Many of our relatives, friends
and citizens have responded to the call of
our Governor—leaving their families and
homes have gone forth to bear arms m
vindication of our honor and integrity as
a nation; and
WHEREAS, Sundry expenses have accrued
and must necessarily accrue in fitting out
and sending forth such volunteers, to be
mustered into the service of our country,
not provided for by the laws of our land,
now therefore
Resolved, By the inhabitants of the town
of Stamford, in Special Town Meeting, le-
ally warned and assembled, this 4th day of
day, 1861, that a tax of one and a half mills
on the dollar, of the assessment list of this
town last perfected, in and is hereby levied
to be forthwith collected and paid into the
Treasury of this town, to constitute a fund
to defray the expenses mentioned in the forc~
gomg preamble; and to provide pecuniary
aid and relief to the families of such, volun-
teers as have or may go forth in Company or
Companies organized in this town, during
the absence Of such volunteers.
Resoleed, That Stephen B. Provost, An-
drew Perry; Jonathan M. Hall, Josiah Smith
and Wm. Todd be a committee to audit the
bills of expense already accrued, or which
may hereafter accrue, in fitting out and send
ing forth volunteers from this town, and to
dispense aid to the families of such volun-
teers, as follows; to each man’s wife $3 per
Week, to each child under 15 years of age $1
a week,and to each widowed mother depend-
ing upon such volunteer for her support $3
It week; and said committee at their discre-
tion is authorized to increase this amount to
such sum as they may deem proper in case
of sickness or other urgent necessity.
The foregoing levy will raise the sum of
$6,500, and provision is made by resolutions
to collect and pay in that sum forthwith, and
the Committee, by its Chairman, is author-
ized to draw on the Treashrer from time to
time to meet the wants of calls upon them.
One company numbering 84 have already
gone forth from this town, and mustered in
the 3d regiment, and another company is
now nearly ready for marching orders.

The Blockading Squadron.
The main portion of the fleet to blockade
the Southarn ports will be at sea withina
week. It will consist of fifty war vessels,
with steam transports sufficient to accommo-
date a land army of 20,000 men. They will
blockade every port whose entrance has six
feet of water. The army on board will re-
quire the rebels to keep in arms at the vari-
ous assailuble points of their coast, an aggre-
gate of at least 120,000 men.
¢<.>-
83,000 More Men Wanted.
The President has issued a Proclamation
for 83,000 more men for the regular army and
Navy. He wants forty-two thousand and
thirty-four volunteers. to serve for a period Of
three years, unless sooner discharged, and to
be mustered into service as infantry and cav-
alry. He also directs that the regular army
of the United States be increased by the ad-
dition of eight regiments of infantry, one reg-
iment of cavalry and one regiment Of artille-
ry, making altogether a maximum aggregate
increase of 22,714 officers and enlisted men,
and further direct the enlistment, fOr not less
than one nor more than three years, of18,-
000 seamen, in addition to the present force,
for the naval service of the United States.

W Last week we made mention of an ar-
ticle of Army Goods made by the Union
Manufacturing Co. Of this town. A large
number of blankets were delivered last week
to the regiments quartered at New Haven
and Hartford, and we were glad to note, be-
ing present, that they gave very great satis-
faction. The Pulladz'um says of them, that
“they are superior and shed water like a
duckjs back." The blankets made by this
company are greatly superior to the stuff sup-
plied to some of the New York troops,char-
acteri'zed by the Tribune and Herald as “mis-
erable trash, made of the coarsest material,
and filled in with flock, shoddy and chips,
and are already falling to pieces." No such
fate attends the blankets Of the Union 00.,
which are made entirely of wool, in various
colors and mixtures. They are receiving
orders constantly, and also for army coatings
which they are producing,much beyond their
regular capacity, working day and night.

Crncus WEEK—The war seems to make
no difference with the Circuses, Mcnagcries,
&c., at the North. Two Circus companies
exhibit in Norwalk during the present week.
Lent’s National Circus gives two exhibi-
tions—Thursday afternoon and evening.
The manager claims this to be the oldest
organized legitimate Circus in America, and
the Agent assures us that it is decidedly a
“big thing.” '
On Friday, Spaldings A: Rodgers‘ Rail
Road Circus are .10 ‘perform afternoon and
evening. Why it is called “Rail Road Cir-
cus” we cannot guess, but as it is an Old es-
tablished concern, barrin’ the “R. R," and
Ihas been here before and given good satis-
faction, wc presume it will succeed in draw-
ing a large train of people to witness its
switch. performances. For particulars read
the illustrated advertisements of both com-
panies.

FLAGS—A large number of new flags have
been raised in different parts of the town du-
'ring the past week. T. A. Morrison, Son &
Hoyt have erected a flag staff on the top of
their'shirt factory, and display the stars and
stripes in grand style. Citizens living in the
Down Town District have raised a pole 70
.feet high, from which a beautiful flag proud-
ly waves. . And the people of Cranberry
Plains, are determined not to be behind the
rest of the town in patriotism. They have
come out nobly for the Union, and on Satur-

a handsome flag. 15:22 fest, is displayed.

THINGS AT THE WEST.
We are permitted to publish the following
letter from a young gentleman of Quaker an-
tecedents, in Illinois, to his brother, an em-
ployCc of the Lock Company at South Nor-
walk. It gives an interesting account of the
seizure of arms, &c., on the Mississippi:
CAMP CAIRO, April 27, 1861.
' Mr DEAR BROTHER.—' =“ * We are
strongly posted in Cairo,and receiving troops
daily, so if Mr. Davis wants a piece of us he
must come soon, or we will be able to sink
all the boats that he sends. I belong to the
Light Artillery Of Chicago, and we have the
picked men of the town.
A party Of ten of us took one of our guns
on a steamer here and went off on 'the Mis-
sissippi for a cruise. Wc captured two boats
with ammunition and arms for the South.
The last one was covered on the main deck
with pig lead from stem to stern, and her
hold filled with powder, (2,500 kegs.) As
soon as we brought her to, the Captain ran
her on shore and the crew and passengers all
left her for the woods. I send this letter in
one of her envelopes. * The State
of Illinois is in earnest in this business, and
will spend her last cent. and every man’s life
before the South shall conquer. * * ’9
Our Captain is a very fine man, and the boys
have all known him personally fora long
time. I pray to God that I may see thee
again, but if not, my dear brother, I will
say farewell now, and may the Almighty
take care of thee and thine always,and unite
us hereafter, if not in this world.
Thy affectionate brother,

RIDGEFIELD, May 6th, 1861.
Mnssas. EDITORs :—-Flags of the Union
are so numerous just now, that it seems as
superfluous to mention one as to record the
discharge of fire-crackers on the 4th Of July.
If the furor keeps on at its present height.
we may expect to see, not s. single flag on
every house, but the stars and stripes from
every chimney anti every gable Of every
building in the country. Still we are vain
enough to think that the circumstances con-
nected with the raising of a flag in Ridge-
field, on Tuesday last, are worthy , a place in
your paper.
There were present the grandson and a
daughter Of Commodore Perry, the great na—
val hero Of thelast war with England, (may
it forever remain the last war with her.) The
Rev. Francis'Vinton, D. D., an assistant min-
ister of Trinity Church, New York, being
in the village, was requested to make an ad-
dress to the citizens of the town. The Re v
Dr. Ogilby of New York acted as Chaplain.
The Hon. Joshua I. King presided over the
meeting, and the address delivered in the
open air, with great power and earnestness,
produced the utmost enthusiasm in the
crowd assembled. Dr. Vinton, himself a
graduate of West Point, and brother of the
distinguished Capt. Vinton who lost his life
at Vera Cruz, was able to present many pe-
culiar and interesting views and facts. At
the conclusion of a clear and forcible discus-
sion of the Southern arguments for Seces-
sion, and having placed in a clear light the
fatal consequences to all classes of the com-
munity, were the example universally fol-
lowed, the eloquent orator in conclusion
asked the question “Will you defend the Un-
ion with your lives ?” when at once from the
lips of every one present burst an i rrepressi-
ble and prolonged shout “ Aye."
TO add to the interest Of the occasionthere
was exhibited a rusty cannon ball, which
had been dug up in the grounds of the Rec-
tory of St. Stephen’s Church, on the 23d
April, the 84th Anniversary of the fight in
this village between the English troops and
the Americans, when Gen. Wooster was
killed—undoubtedly one of the balls fired
near a century ago. ' HENRY.

mg” About flee O’clock on Saturday morn-

discovered a man hanging by one heel, head
downwards, from the top of the high picket
fence which surrounds the Factory Build-
ings. As nearly as can be ascertained, the
man had been in this awful position since
one o’clock at night, when he attempted to
climb over the gate to get inside of the
grounds. It is a mystery to us, how a man
could hang in that position so long, during
a rain storm, and still lire. He was thought
to be crazy.

SOLDIER BLANKn'rs.—Perley telegraphs
ftom \Vasbington to the Boston Journal,
“that the Rhodc Island regiment was out on
Thursday, wearing scarlet blankets in the
Mexican style, with the head through a hole
in the middle. The weather is so cold as to
render overcoats acceptable.” Practical tests
have established the fact that our Norwalk
Felt Blankets are superior to any worm
goods with which our volunteers have been
supplied. They are much warmer than the
same weight of wool in a thread blanket
and dispense with the necessity of carrying
India Rubber, as the dampness from the
ground or rain does not penetrate them.

Gov. Lctcher Of Virginia. has published a
Proclamation saying “that the Sovereignty
of the Commonwealth of Virginia having
been denied—her Territorial rights assailed
—her soil threatened with invasion by the
authorities at Washington, and every artifice
employed which could inflame the people of
the Northern States; it therefore becomes a
solemn duty to every citizen of Virginia to
prepare for impending conflict. To‘this end
and for these purposes, anti with a determi-
nation to repel invasion, he authorizes the
commanding General of the Military forces
to call out and cause to be mustered into ser-
vice from time to time, as public exigencies
may require, such additional numbers cf vol-

Hon. Gideon Welles.
A Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune stated that Hon. Gideon
Welles, secretary of the navy, with Mr. Sew-
ard, had been backward to adopt such thor-
ough measures against the sccessionisls as
were favored by Messrs. Chase, Blair, and
Cameron. This was contrary to our knowl-
edge Of the man, and in direct contradiction
of all our advices. In a word, we knew very
well that it could not be true. Mr. Welles
was trained in the school of Jackson demo-
cracy, and he is as far as possible from being
a paltering compromiser. The Hartford
Courant confirms our view of the matter,
and notices the Tribune‘s correspondent as
follows:—
“The Tribune’s correspondent docs Mr.
Welles gross injustice. Mr. Welles has never
wavered one moment, since the first outbreak
of the secession traitors, in his desire and his
determination that. his voice and influence
should sustain the policy of putting down re-
bellion and treason, and bringing the whole
power of the government to enforce the laws
and maintain the Union inviolate. Mr. Lin-
coln has had no firmer supporter in all his
cabinet than Mr. Welles. The friends of Mr.
Welles know he has never wavered, and that
he has not, and never will, consent to make
any terms with the rebels short of their sub~
mission to the authority of the United States
government. Mr. Welles is fully up to pub-
lic sentiment at the north, and in his official
acts will not disappoint those who desire to
see the .war prosecuted with all the energy
possible.” »
We take the following from the W'ashing-
ton correspondence of the N. Y. Post of
May 2d:
One or two Of the Cabinet members have
been grossly misrepresented for two months
Gideon \Velles of Connecticut has from the
outset been one of the most bold and radical
members of the Cabinet. He never was in
favor settling our difficulties by a patched-up
compromise, nor has he ever believed that a
peaceful solution was possible. Ten days
ago, when Washinton was cutoff from the
loyal states, it was urged in Cabinet council
that a route should be Opened around Balli-
more. Mr. Welles advocated the passage
through the contumacious city. “It will take
twenty thousand troops to do it,” ‘was the
reply. “Then use fifty thousand for the pur-
pose l” said Mr. Welles. Yet some enemy of
Secretary of the Navy has started the story
that he is for a peaceful separation Ofthe two
sections of the. country. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Every bol‘y knows
lat Mr. Seward has been anxious to avoid a
war. He has put more faith than any Of his
friends in the southern professions of loyalty.
and peace. Even to this hour Mr. Seward
finds it difficult to dispel from his brain the
idea that the South will, without a‘ conflict,
submit to the federal government. When
this delusion is scatercd Mr. Seward will
fight as zealously as any-body else. He took
the. ground last winter that he would as a last
resort “fight to save the Union.”
Mr. Bates is cautious and conservative, and
Mr. Smith is not unlike him in these re-
spects. The decided men of the Cabinet are
Chase, Blair and Welles.

SOLDIER‘s BLANKETS.—The N. Y. Times,
Tribune and Herald of yesterday, speak in
terms of very just indignation, at the care-
lcssness or niggardness which has supplied
most of their troops with nothing but miscr-
able ‘shoddy' blankets to sleep in. This is a
matter of very grave consequence, as regards
the comfort and health of our men, and we
are glad to see that Quarter-Master General
Hathaway has supplied our Connecticut
troops; with the best blankets to be found in
the market. They are Of' felt,_ and while
thick and warm, are also impervxous to damp-
ness or rain, and are manufactured at Nor-
walk.—-Harlford Coura'nl.
m” We understand that both our felt
manufactories, viz: Lounsbury, Bisscll &
Co., and the Union Manufacturing Co., are
busy in the making of these blankets, which
are undoubtedly the very best for soldiers in
active service.

‘ inforcc Fort Pickcns, and she was accompa-
nied by the Powlmttan steam frigate, which ‘
we had all been speculating upon as intend- 1
mg to silence the water batteries on Morris
Island. Capt. Mcigs, with his carpenters anti
Capt. Barry, with his Light Artillery Battery
were also on board. She took up more
troops, armaments and supplies at Key W est
and Tortugas, and landed them all safely at
Pickens, on thenight of the 16th, and during
the three subsequent days. She landed over
500 men the first night, and afterwards land- .
ed Capt. Barry’s battery, horses and all, with ’
more infantry soldiers, on the beach. She
was protected by the mcn-Ofiwar, and no of-
fensive demonstration was made, The Illi-
nois, with more troops and stores, arrived on
the 10th, anti they too were successfully
landed. Col. Brown took command of the
fort and Capt. Mcigs returned in the Atlantic.

Traitors put to Death.
Punishment of Treason Beginning.
New YORK, May 1.
A; letter from a member of the Seventh
Regiment to his father, dated \Vashington,
28th April, states that “six seccssionistst were
caught yesterday in treasouable acts, and two
were shot this morning at the navy yard.—
One is to be shot to-morrow morning. He
was in the employ of the Ordnance Depart-
ment, and had been set to work filling
bombs; but instead of chargintr them with
powder, he put sand in them. Several men
have been arrested for tearing up the track of
the railroad; and they will be summarily
dealt with.” ,
A private letter from Annapolis, April 28,
says: “And now to give you an example of
the punishment traitors receive, we can see
from where I am writing, about two miles
from shore, on the yardarm of the United
States brig Caledonia, lzca men hanging—one
for smuggling provisions and powder to the
rebels at Charleston; the other for piloting
the Seventh Regiment on the Chesapeak bar
—with the intention that the Baltimoreans
might get possession of Annapolis before the
Seventh could land. He was not quite sharp
enough for the boys. They suspected his in-
tentions, put him in irons, and conveyed him
on board the brig, and now be is hanging for
his crime."
WThe fact Of the great loss of the rebels
at Charleston is, gradually leaking out. The
New York Tribune has a statement of one Of
the soldiers who was compelled to fight at
Fort Moultrie. He with five others have just
returned from Charleston. He says that
three or four hundred were killed and wound-
ed at Fort Monitrie, and one hundred and
fifty at Morris Island. The dead were carried
at night in boxes and interred in the Potters’
Field. The soldiers were threatened with
death, if they disclosed the fact. and many
families in Charleston are yet in ignorance of
their loss, supposing that their friends are
still on Sullivan’s Island.

Success IN Luau—A man‘s best help is in himself
—his own heart. his own soul. his own resolute
purpose. The battle cannot be fought by re: . A
man‘s mind may he aroused by another—his chairs
to Improve and advance himself may be excited by
another, but he must mould his own stuff, quarry
his own nature, make his own character r—let him
try again! Let him try hard—tr§ often, and he
cannot fail ultimately to succeed. I 0 man can tell
what he can do until he tries, and tries with resolu-
tion. Witness the success of Des. Hannrcx of
Albany—who fought poverty ten years but is now
called the antocrat Of pill manufacturers.

l‘his gives a total loss 'of $240,000,090, a sum
three times as large as the whole cost of the
General Government, including the Army,
Navy, Post Offices, Legislators, Foreign Min-
isters and all. ‘ The amount weighs over six
hundred tons in pure gold” '
