CEMENT ROOFING.
I NIIIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience ofyears has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.
We call attention to the following facts :
lst—It is fire and water proof.
2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d—It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4tli—The cost is only about One-Half that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable.
It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desideratuin to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru—
ined, while repairs are being made.
Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired with Gutta Percha Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
.tliereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
for many years.
Specimens of the Roofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

And one of them shot in the west by the sea.
Dead! both my boys! When you sit at the feast
And are wanting a great song for Italy free,

Yet I was a poetess only last year,
And good at my art for a woman, men said,
But (his woman, (his, who is agonized here,

For over instead.
What art can a woman be good at ? Oh, vain!
What art is she good at, but hurting her bred-t
With the milk-teeth of babes,and a smile at the' pain

pressed, .
And I proud, by that test.

Both darlings! to feel all their arms round her.

Cling, strangle a little! to sew by degrees
And ’broider the long-clothes and neat little cont!
To dream and to dole.
To teach them—It stings there. I made them indeed
Speak plain the word “country." I taught them
no doubt .
That a country‘s a thing men should die for at need,
I prated of liberty, rights, and about
The tyrant turned out.
And when their eyes flashed—O my beautiful eyes! _
I exalted! nay. let them go forth at the wheels
0f the guns, and denied not. But then the surprise
When one sits quite alone! Then one woeps,‘
then one kneels!
—God! how the house feels !
At first happy news came, in gay letters mailed
. With my kisses, of campdife and glory, and how >
They both loved me, and soon, coming home to be
opened,
In rctum would fan off every fly from my brow
With their green laurel-bough.
Then was triumph at Turin. “Aucona was free i"
And some one came out of the cheers in the street
With a face pale as stone, to say something to me.
~My Guide was dead! [fell down at his feet,
While they cheered in the street. ‘1
I bore it z—frieiids soothed mc—my 'grief looked
sublime
As the ransom of Italy. One boy remained ,
To be leont on and walked with, recalling the tlmb
When the first grew immortal, while both of us
strained '
To the hight he had gained.
And letters still came-shorter, sadder,more strong,
Writ now but in one hand. " I was not to faint.
One loved me for two—would be with the era long;
And ‘ Viva Italln‘ he died for, our saint,
Who forbids our complaint."
My Nanni would add “he was safe, and aware
Of a presence that turned off the balls—was imprest
It was Guido himself, who knew what I could bear,
And how ’twal impossible, quite dispossessed,
To live on for the rest." '
On which without pause up the telegraph line
Swept smoothly the next news from Quota—Shot.
Tell his mother. Ah, ah, “his,” “their" mother—
not "mitt." .
No voice says “my mother” again to me. What!
You think Guido forgot?
Are souls straight so happy that. dirty with Heaven
They drop earth’s affections, conceive not of woe r
I think not. Themselves ware too lately forgiven
Through that Love and Sorrow which reconciled
so

To disfranchise despair.
Forgive me. Some women bear children in strength
And bite back the cry of their pain in self-scorn,
But the birth~pangs of nations will wring us at

Into wail such as this !—and we sit on forlorn
When the man-child is born.
Dead I—one of them shot by the sea in the west,
And one of them shot in the east by the seal

Ixrnnns'rixo INCIDENT—The New Red-
ford Standard publishes a letter from a lady
in Washington, in which she speaks at
length of the respect and esteem felt for
each other by the New York Seventh and
the Massachusetts Eighth Regiments. She
relates the following interesting incident:
“There is a story told ,by one of the Sev-
enth that no one can listen-to without tears
and a glow of pride in our New England
soldiers. He says, ‘While encamped in Mao
ryland, I wandered off one day and came to
a farm house, where I saw a party of those
Massachusetts fellows—well, no, they were
Rhode Island Boys; but it’s all the same—
talking With a woman who was greatly
frightened. The tried in vain to quiet her
apprehensions. hey asked for food and
she cried, ‘0, take all I have, take everything
but spare my sick husband.’ ‘0, darn it,
said one of the men, ‘We ain’t going to hurt
you; we want something to oat.’ But the
woman persisted in being frightened in spite
of all efforts to reassure her, and hurried
whatever food she had on the table. But,
said the lieutenant, when she saw this compa-
ny stand about the table with bored heads,
and a tall, gaunt man raise his hand and
invoke God’s blessing on the bounties spread
before them, the poor woman broke down
With a fit of sobbing and crying. She had
no longer any fears, but bid them wait, and
in a few moments had made them hot coffee
in abundance. She then emptied their
canteens of the innddy water they contained
and filled them with coffee. Her astonish-
ment increased when they insisted on pay-
ing her.’ The lieutenant tells this with great
expressnon.
sing took me by surprise, and when I saw
this Ifelt that our country was safe with
such men to fight for it."
-————oo‘.>u
W Doesticks" is an officer in the celebra-
ted Seventh Regiment, New York. He ex-
pectstofind his old friend “Damphool” in
the secesswu army.
Said he, ‘Their asking a bios-.
KISSED BY MISTAKE.
“Will you be at home to-nlght, Betty?”
and the speaker, a tall, muscular, well-look-
ing young farmer reddened to the very roots
of his hair, as though he had committed some
very wicked act, instead of asking a simple
question.
He was bashful, extremely so, was Josiah
Hawley; at least in the presence of young
ladies; most of all in the presence of the girl
he loved. No young farmer in all the coun-
try possessed a better-kept, farm, or talked
with more confidence among his compeers of
stock and crops, and on kindred subjects.—
But the glimpse of some pretty face, or foot,
coming in his direction, affected him like a
flash of lightning. On such occasions he
never knew what to do with his hands and
eyes, always felt like screwing himself into a
mouse hole. How he ever contrived to ap-
proach Hester Thomas on the subject of his
preference for her probably remains to this
day as much a mystery to himself as it is to
others.
But that young lady had quite an amount
of tact and cleverness stowed away some-
where in her pretty little head, albeit it was
set on the diinpled, inexperienced shoulders
of seventeen. Josiah was worth, in a world-
ly way, much more than any of her other
suitors; good-looking and intelligent enough
to satisfy any one but an over-fastidious per-
son; unexceptionable, in short, barring his
excessive bashfulness, which was a fruitful
source of merriment among the young peo-
ple in their little circle. And so, when Jo-
siah in his awkward, blundering way, began
to exhibit his preference for her in various
little ways,such as waiting on her to and from
singing school, constituting himself her es-
cort when she rode on horseback to the soli-
tary church in the woods, and singling her
out at quilting parties, Hefty took it all in
the easiest,plcasantest manner possible. The
girls laughed, and the young men cracked sly
jokes at the expense of her timid suiter; but
He tty stood up for him very independently
—eneouraged him out of his shyness—never
noticed any unfortunate blunder—and very
likely helped him along considerably when
his feelings reached the culminating point,
one moonlight autumn evening, as they were
walking home together from prayer meeting.
That was a week ago. Hefty had said
‘Yes,’ and agreed to 'bring father and mother
around on the subject.’ Josiah had not been
to the house since-probably feeling very
much like a dog venturing upon the premises
of the person whose sheep fold he had just
plundered. As yet neither had the courage
to speak to the “reigning powers" on the sub‘
ject; and Hefty, feeling as if she wished to
put the ordeal off as long as possible, at any
rate to have one more confidential talk with
him on the subject, said: .
O “Mother is going over to Aunt Ruth’s to
spend the evening, and wants me to go. But
I guess I won't. I’ve been working father‘s
shirts all day, besides doing the dirty work,
and I’m as tired ascan be. So I guess they‘ll
have to go without me. Don’t come until
eight o’clock. I shall be through putting
things to fights then and then will let you
-n-»
or course, Josiah was not too obtuse to un-
derstand that, and forgot his bashfulness so
far as to petition for a goodbye kiss, which
was peremptorily refused, of course.
“No, I shan’t. Do take yourself off.—
Think I didn’t see you fidgeting around Sa-
rah Jones at Deacon Badgcr’s yesterday
evening? I’ve not forgotten that air!”
“Now, Hetty—”
But the appeal was broken off by a tantal-
izing little laugh; and as he sprang forward
to take a pleasant revenge on his tormentress
she slipped away and ran up the path to the
house. where he saw her wave her hand as
she disappeared within the kitchen porch;
and then he turned from the gate and took
the road homeward.
The tea things had been carried out, the
table set back against the wall, the crumbs
brushed from the clean home-made carpet,
and Hetty's work-stand drawn up in front of
the blazing fire. A bountifully piled waiter
of great red apples and a plate of cracked
walnuts were on it, in close proximity to
Betty’s work-basket. '
On one side of the fire sat Mrs. Thomas,
fat and fair, and at peace with all the world,
rocking and knitting,and refreshing herself at
sundry intervals with a bite from a half- eaten
apple that lay on the corner of the table, and
touching every now and then in a caressing
manner with her foot a sleek, lazy looking
out that purred and winked on the rug before
her. Hetty sat on the other side, sewing,
and busy in thinking how she should tell her
mother that she expected a visitor. She
would have given the world to be able to say
in an off-hand manner, that she expected Mr.
Hawley to drop in about eight. But she
recolleeted, with a twinge of conscience, how
hard she had tried to get the old lady to ac-
company her husband to Aunt Ruth’s, in
_ spite of her forewarnings of a spellof neural-
gia; how she had also plead headache as an
excuse for not going herself And she knew
her mother was quite sharp enough to draw
her own inferences from these facts, and from
her being dressed with unusual care to spend
an evening at home.
“I shall not dare to tell her now. She’ll
be sure to think I wanted to get her out of
the way, so I mig‘ht have J oaiah all to myself
and I should never hear the last of it.” And
like a wise little puss she was silent.
. I’ll venture my word on it, you would not
have wondered at ouryoung farmer’s desper-
ate enthrallment if you could have seen Het-
ty Thomas as she sat sewing by the fire side
that cold November evening.
Under pretext of being ready to go to her
Uncle’s (a. thing she had no idea of doing,) she
had, just before tea, indulged in an indiscrim-
inate “fixing up.” A neatly fitting dark cali-
co, with the store look still on it, a fresh linen
collar, and tasteful black silk apron—these
were the chief items of Betty’s toilet; but
she looked as sweet and dainty in her plain
dress as if hours had been spent in donning
lace and jewels. Her rich hair of the dark-
est auburn tinge fell in shining folds close to
her warm red cheek, and was caught up in a
cunning not behind.
Eight o’clock and past! Mrs. Thomas was
dozing in her chair—her shadow on the op-
posite wall bobbing about in grotesque mim-
icry as she nodded to and fro—now crushing
the voluminous white satin bows on her
spruce cap against the back of her chair—
now almost falling forward, and her fat hands
lay listlessly in her lap, and her balls of yarn
had rolled out upon the,hearth, and puss was
7.;
And just then came a double rep at the
door—so loud, sudden and self-assured that
Hetty started up with a little shriek, and set
her foot on puss’ tail, who in turn gave voice
to her amazement and displeasure.
The combined noise aroused Mrs. Thomas
and, starting into an erect position,.she rub-
bed her eyes, settled her cap-border, and ex-
claimed,-— ‘
“Bless my soul, Hefty, what was that?
Somebody at the door? Who can be com-
ing here at this time of night ?"
“It‘s not late, mother—only a little past
eight. I’ll go and see who it is,” says Hetty
demurely, taking the candle from the table.
“NO. Here, you wind up my ball and
sweep up the hearth, while I go to the door,”
says the old lady, whose feet were strugling
in the perplexing meshes of'the unraveled
yarn, ‘Drat that cat. ?"
And all this timoJosiah was standing on
one foot out on the cold porch with his hands
in his overcoat pockets, wondering if Hefty
had fallen asleep, and every now and then
giving the door a smart rap by way of va-
riety. '
In her hurry, Mrs. Thomas forgot to take
the candle, and as she stepped out into the
little front entry, the sitting-room door
slammed after. She had her hand on the
handle of the hall door at the moment, and
opening it, she suddenly found herself in the
embrace of a stout pair of arms ; a whiskered
face in close proximity to her own; and be-
fore she could think about the strangeness of
her situation, she received a prolonged kiss a
hearty smack—full upon her virtuous matron
lips.
“0, murder! ’Taint Obadiah neither l"
She had by this time divested herself of
the impression that it was her usually sober
spouse, who must have come home in an un-
wonted expression of affection.
“Get out! Get out, I say! Who are you,
anyhow? Murder! thieves! Hetty! come
here! Here‘s a man kissing me like mad 1”
But the intruder had by this time discover-
ed his mistake—it did not need the indignant
pummeling and scratching of the old lady’s
vigorous fists to cause him to relinquish his
hold and fly as if pursued by some indignant
ghost.
Hetty, nearly choking with smothered
laughter, in spite of her trepidition, now came
to the rescue.
I never was so frightened in all my life!
The mean scamp! Who could it be! Hetty
have you any idea?" _
But that beautiful daughter was, to all up-
pearances, innocent as a sucking dove. She
soothed the old lady by representing that it
might have been one of the neighbors, who,
having drank too much, had mistaken the
house and the house-wife. She searched the
entry for the missing spectacles, dropped in
the scuffle; re-arranged the rumpled cap bor-
der; wound up the tangled yarn; stirred the
fire—all in the most amiable manner possible
-—and at length had had the satisfaction of
seeing her mother subside into her chair and
her accustomed tranquility.
Mrs. Thompson was fully awake now. She
had a new idea in her head, and instead of
setting herself for another nap, she pursued
the train of thought and her knitting, both at
the same time, with wonderful rapidity. At
length, stopping and lookingkeen at Hetty—
“I suppose it's a queer idea of mine, Het-
ty, but I’ve a notion that man was Siah
Hawley,”
Eli ! but if Hetty’s face did not fire up
then! You might have lita candle by it.—
Thcse incipient symptoms did not escape the
waiy inquisitor.
“’Pears so to me. ’Cause those big whis~
kers were so much like his’n, and the awk-
ward wiiy lie gripped me with his great
pints !”
Hetty was wonderfully busy. She bent
over her work and drew the needle through
so quickly that the thread snapped, and then
she was so much engaged in threading her
needle again she didn’t have the time to an-
swer. ‘
“I don’t believe that kiss was meant for me
after all. Wonder who it was intended for;
and wonder if you don’t know something
about it, Hefty ?”
. “Me! Mother ?”
“Yes, you, Hefty. You was mighty anxi-
ous to get me and pop off to aunt Ruth’s this
evening; but I noticed you were slicked up
extraordinary, for you wcrn’t going. Now,
Hctty, I’m gettin’ old; I know it; but I hav-
en’t quite lost my eye-sight, yet. I’ve heard
something about this between you and Siah
Hawley. What are you playin’ possum fur?
Out with it, I say !"
Our little sclicmer, thus adjured, made a
clean breast of the matter; much relieved
to find that mother ‘hadn’t nuthin agin him,’
and would ‘give father a talk about it, and
bring him round.”
“But Hetty, I want you to tell Siah I’d
rather lic’d not make such a mistake agin I
don’t like the feel of his whiskers about my
face; I don’t approve of promiscuous kissing.”
“Siah never heard the last of that blunder.
Old Squire Thomas used to delight in re-
hearsing the story whenever all the parties
interested happened to be present. He
would shake his fat sides at J osiah’s discom-
fiture and his wife’s tart replies, and Betty
would join him, and both would laugh until
the tears ran down their checks.
“N ever mind, ’Siah." Mrs. Thomas would
say consolingly. “Let him laugh. He’d
have been only too glad to have been in your
place twenty years ago. He had hard work
to get a kiss from me then. And I hope it
will be alesson to you and Hefty agin the
impolicy of concealment and underhand do-
ins of all sorts."

W The condition of things at Fort Pick-
ens is very annoying to the rebels. The
Moblc Advertiser of the 23d says :—“It is go-
ing to be the very mischief to run the Lin-
colnites off Santa Rosa Island if they don't
want to go. We may and will make Fort
Pickcns hot for them, but they have plenty
of men and can get as many more as Lincoln
can send them; when Piekens is rendered
untenantable they can entrenclithemselves—
beyond the reach of our batteries if they like
and so keep up their camp as long as they
please, or until we leave the mainland to at-
.tack them in their stronghold. We cannot
starve them out without a naval force supe-
rior to that at their command. So we will
have to keep a strong force on hand to watch
this nest of impudent fellows right under our
noses. The knocking to pieces of Fort Pick-
ens will not be getting rid of them, if they are
of a mind to stay on the island. There is
plenty of sand there for batteries, and _our
reports show that the enemy is usmg it to
fortify his lines."

_ the color of the eyes of the approaching foe
From the N. Y. fribune.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Where all have done Well, it almost seems
invidious to single out a particular state for
praise. When, three Weeks ago, it was an-
nounced that an expedition had sailed to
carry food to that brave little band that had
held so long a forlorn hope in Charleston
harbor, the patriotic heart beat high With
anticipation; when the news came that the
beleagured garrison was beset by ten thou-
sand foes without, with hunger and fire
within, and had, after enduring an incessant
storm of shell and shot for nearly two days,
been compelled to yield, there was a univer-
sal unbelief in such madness of rebellion, but
when, at length, there was no lon er room
for doubt, and it was known that b ajor An-
derson and his heroic followers had gathered
in their arms the tattered remnant ofthe flag
that had floated over them so long, and with
only that and their honor left, had gone out
from the smoldering ruins of the fortress
tlieyhad held against such odds, then, with
one mighty shout of indi nation, the whole
North sprang to arms. he past was forgot
ten; old party predjudices, longaclierished
political predilections, were swallowed up
in one universal and overwhelming senti-
ment of love of country, and the North ren-
dered a glad obedience to the law of a com-
mon brotherhood of race, of interests, and
of instituttons, and confessed to the truth it
has taken thirty years to learn—that an alien
system of civil and of social life had made
an alien people. They knew and accepted
the fact, as they only can who inherited and
have cherished for three quarters of a centu-
ry a nation’s liberties, that the time had
come for the final struggle for freedom, for
homes, and for country, with those who
would substitute for the government. of the
people the government of a class. And in i
this mighty uprising of a great nation, Mas-
sachusetts led the van.
That privilege was hers by right. The
children of the men who faced, unarmed, in
State street, the fire of British troops; who
waited on Bunker Hill till they could see
before they pulled a trigger; who drove
back from Lexington, with such arms as
they could snatch from Over the kitchen fire-
place, the best disciplincd soldiers of Europe,
were not the men to hesitate at such a time
as this. And it was well for Massachusetts
that she had for chief magistrate one whose
foresight had anticipated events, and whose
lar e judgment had provided for them.—
“ e are ready to start on the instant,” said
the people, “but have not the means.”—~
“Send on your men,” replied the governor,
“the means are ready,” for by his dilligent
care, for months they had been provided,—
The wires which carried the proclamation
of the President to Boston had hardly ceased
to vibrate, ere Massachusetts men, dropping
the tools of their trades, and the implements
of farming, liuriied from workshops and
fields, gathered in village squares, as their
fathers did eighty-six years ago, and com-
mending wives and children and parents, to
the kind care of neighbors, made quick
adieus, and marched to report themselves at
headquarters, ready for service. There were
instances where the alarm was rung out
from village steeples, and men sprang from
their beds, fell into the ranks at the place of
rendezvous, and ere the sun had lit up the
homes which many of them were never to
see again,~were on their way to fioht their
countr ’5 battle. Before a soldier from any
other fate, except a few from Pennsylvania
had reached the capitol, these first minute-
men of Massachusetts were cooly surveying
the shores of Virginia from behind the walls
of Fort Monroe.
How quickly Others followed .these, and
how straight a path they made to the defense
of the government at its seat, there is no need
of telling. The troops of Lowell and Law-
rence have followed with bowed heads and
many tears their honored (lead to sacred
graves, and all Massachusetts repeats the dy-
ing words of one oftliose men—“All hall to
the stars and stripes.” Send home their
bodies “tenderly,” was the prayer of the Gov-
ernor when asking for the unnamed dead,
for where rights are so reverenced and men
are so prompt in their defense, Man, be his
condition or estate what it may, is sacred.—
The monumental marble that marks the 19th
of April in Massachusetts is not yet white
enough nor piled high enOugh in memory of
her sons.
Nor do these the first offerings laid upon
the altar of our country give her pause.—
Tliough the way to the capitol closed over
that spot still red with the blood of her sons
—closed only for a bricl‘spaee as sure as that
Baltimore standetli !—a new path was open-
ed and still Massachusetts led the van. We
do not forget our own brave boys of the 7th,
knit now to the Massachusetts 8th by bonds
stronger than that of brothers, but there is
not one of them that will not gratefully ac:
knowledge how uncertain their fate would
have been but for the presence of the others.
There was needed the trained muscles of
working men as well as the courage of loy-
a1 hearts. “All who are working men,” said
Gen. Butler. when he saw that a railroad
was to be rebuilt before they could win their
way to Washington—“all who are working
men step forwart .” And the whole regi-
ment advanced ! All know how the willing
hearts and the skilled hands of the two regi-
ments did that duty; how the man who
made the engine repaired his own work;
how engineers and artisans of all necessary
crafts were found among that efficient and
hardy band of Eastern men, fill at length the
whole road was complete save a single rail.
It was sought for in vain; every nook and
corner was scanned, but still that one re-
maining link was wantng without which
the work was incomplete. i It was a Massa-
cliusests man who arose to the emergency.
With eyes and faculties sharpened by use, and
the habit of overcoming obstacles,he surveyed
the ground, considered probabilities, and
weighed chances. Then with an in-
stinct as unerring as that of an Indian
who reads in the turning of a leaf the
passage of a foe, he made his way to a deep
stream, at some distance, examined its banks
and stripped. Three times he plunged to
the bottom, and the third time brought up
the missing rail ! “I am working for my
country and not for pay,” he said, when amid
the cheers of tlic 7th’s men one of them of-
fered him a piece of gold.
Still she does not linger. To the first quo-
ta of troops required of Massachusetts she
added a third; and double that whole num-
ber she is now ready to send into the field
in defense of the Union. We in this com-
mercial metropolis have poured out money
like water, and are ready to give of our men
and our efforts without stint. But we have
only talked of arming vessels for the protec-
tion of the commercial marine. Massachu-
setts has acted! The governor announces
to the Federal Government that his State has
equipped, armed and manned two sea-going
steamers, which he offers for their service,
and it not-wanted there, they are to be used
for the protection of the N ew-England coast.
First on land, and first on the sea.
When the Governor of that State issues his
'early proclamation for a day of Thanksgiv~
ing and Prayer to be read in all the churches,
he mends to it a blessing to be invoked on
the good old state. In this time of‘donbt, of
danger, and oftrial, every heart in the land
responds to that prayer: GOD save THE
COMMONWEALTH OF Massacnuse'rrs !

Connecticut and the War.
Every body knows with what energy, pat-
riotism and self-sacrifice, Connecticut en-
gaged in the war of the Revolution. Not a
single state, not even Massachusetts, contri-
buted so liberally in men and money as the
Land of Steady Habits. The spirit which
then placed her in the foremost rank still
lives. It burns in every village from Byrom
River to the Quinebaug. Thougliit happens
that Massachuseis and Rhode Island have
first been called into actual service, the voice
of Connecticut, when called for, will we dare
say, ring as long and loud and cleanfor free-
dom as that of any of her sisters.

The hearts of the people are with him: Be-

of the State had offered him whatever funds
were needed for the equipment of {Division
As soon as the Assembly met, two millions
of dollars were voted for the furtherance of
the war. Connecticut is but half as In? e as
the city of New-York,.but the Empire tote
only offered three million. Ten dollars per
month in addition to the Government pay
has been guaranteed to every volunteer, and
ample provision made for the families of all
who go. Individual cities and citizens have
been as liberal as the State. In New Haven
the Common Council voted thirty thousand
dollars to be expended by a Committee.—
Hartford offered sixty-four thousand. Nor-
wich raised upon private subscriptions near-
ly twenty-five thousand. Other towns have
contributed in like proportions.
The enlistment of troops hasgone forward
with equal spirit. One regiment Was a r-
tioned to the State by the Secretary of at.
Five are already organized for service. The
sixth is nearly full. Four more, have just
been authorized by the Legislature, making
ten in all. Five times that number can be
bad if wanted. Every man is ready to go if
needed. Meanwhile all at home are engaged
in making preparations for such emergencies
as may arise.
The manufacturers of arms are busy
throughout the State. At Harford and. New
Haven are some of the most important estab-
lishments in the country for making rifles
and pistols. The ironworks of Litchfield
Counties are making cannon. Small arms
are making at Norwich and in the Nail uck
Valley. Percussion caps are multi “ed at
Waterburymnd powder is ground at . afield.
Other equipments, clothing, tents, canteens,
wagons, are being turned off as fast as expe-
rience and capital can give form to the rude
materials.
The spirit of the hour has not failed to per.
vnde all classes of society. It is said that
seventy surgeons offered their services to the
lst Regiment. Hardly a clergyman in the
State would decline to go as chaplain if he
were called upon. Many of them have vol-
unteered their services. The same zeal is
shown in the schools and colleges. The boys
of a. well-known military school at New-Ha-
ven have been in constant requisition as drill
masters. The Stars and Stripes are wa~
ving over Alumni Hall, the newest and best
of the buildings of Yale College, and within
its walls two companies have been succes-
sively garrisoned. The students who have
just returned from their Spring vacation are
busy in drilling, and nothing is more proba-
ble than that many of the senior class, who
are nearly through their studies, will be ac-
cepted at the close for actual service.
It is expected that two of the Connecticut
regiments will leave New-Haven, their place
of rendezvous, on Thursday, for the South.
Orders have just been received callin them
to Washington. The soldiers enlist have
been eager for these orders ' for a fort-
night. Only the word from Secretary Cam-
eron has been wanting to set theminmarch.
They' will doubtless n all the way by water,
embarking at New aven and sailing up the
Potomac directly to Washington.
The com mandant of the lst Regiment, Col.
Tyler, is a graduate of West Point, and was
a Captain in the United States Army. He
passed a year and a half in France studying
the military system of that country, and was
the officer, we believe,through whose agency
tlicFlying Artillery in theUnited States Army
was organized. Col. Terry, commandant of
the 2d Regiment, is well known as an officer
in the militia of the State, highly educated in
all that pertains to military science and the
art of a campaign. With two such leaders,
the Connecticut you will prove to be inferior
to none in discipline, endurance, bravery and
fidelity.
Connecticut may be relied on for more
than her portion of the work which is to be
done. As Gov. Dutton said at the war meet-
ing in New Haven, “the ball which leveled
the flag at Fort Sumter, leveled all distinc-
tions of party.” No community could be
more hearty in upholding the Union, or more
eager to be called into service than the citi-
zone of Connecticut.

preservation of the national union by the
suppression of the insurrectiohary .combina.
tions now existing in several states, for o
posing the executton thereof to which a uni-
itary force in addition to that called forth by
my proclamation of the 15th day of April in
the present year, appear to be indispensably
necessary,
Now, therefore, 1, Abraham Lincoln, prea-
ident of the United States, and commander-

to the service of the United States forty-two
thousand and thirtyfour volunteers to serve
for a period of three years unless soonerdis-
charged, and to be mustered into service as
infantry and cavalry. The proportion of
each arm and the details of enrollment and
organization will be made known through
the department of war. And I also direct
that the regular army of the United States
be increased by the addition of eight regi-
ments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry,
and one regiment of artillery, making alto-
gether a maximum aggregate increase of
twenty-two thousand one hundred and four-
teen oflicers and enlisted men, the details of
which increase will also be made known
through the department of war.
And I further direct the enlistment for not
less than one year nor more than three years
of eighteen thousand seamen, in addition to
the present force, for the naval service of the
United States. The details of the enlistment
and organization will be made known thro’
the department of the navy.
The call for volunteers hereby made, and
the direction for the increase of the re lar
army, and for the enlistment of seamen, ere-
by given, together with the plan of or 'za-
tion adOpted for the volunteers and for the
regular forces hereby authorized, will be sub-
mitted to congress as soonas assembled. In
the meantime, I earnestly invoke the co-op-
eration of all good citizens in the measures
hereby adopted for the effectual suppression
of unlawful violence, for the impartial en-
forcement of constitutional laws, and for
the speediest possible restoration of loyalty
and order, and, with those, of happiness and
prosperity throughout our country.
