Norwalk, Tuesday, Sept. 17,1861.
Union in Connecticut.
The Republican Staté Committee has set a
grand example in advising that in the com-
ing Town Meetings there shall be a union of
all patriotic voters without regard to party.
As the Republicans have three fourths of all
the towns in the State, this action is abund-
_ antly generous, and shows a willingness‘to
throw aside all considerations but those of
patriotism, and give up party advantages for
‘ the purpose of seeming an unanimous sup-
port of the government and the nation.
The following is the address of the State
Committee :-
TO THE REPUBLICAN VorEns or CON NEcrr-
CUT.
The undersigned, members of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee of Con-
necticut, . would respectfully suggest to
and urge upon the Republican Town Com-
mittees and the Republicans generally, in
this State, theimportance of united action in
the coming Fall Elections for Town Oflioers,
with all true friends of the Government who
are willing to unite with them in their efforts
to support the Union and the National Army
in its endeavors to put down the Rebellion
now rampant within our borders. That the
present war me be brought to a speedy and
.successful termmation, it requires only the
united efforts and patriotism of all.
We subscribe ourselves, gentlemen, yours
veg respectfully, .

THE POSITION .
The past week has not been very prolific
' of important military events. But :it has
been a useful one to the Union. The Grand
Army of the Potomac has been steadily
strengthened and its efficiency increased by
discipline. The Western Army has also as-
sumed a much more imposing form, while
the rebels in Missouri have for the most part
commenced a precipitate retreat towards Ar-
kansas. The Legislature of Kentucky has
ordered the rebel troops to be withdrawn
from that State, and the Governor has is-
sued his proclamation to that effect. At' all
other points our troops are successfully hold-
ing their ground; while the concentration of
New England and other troops at Hemp-
stead, Long Island, in a Camp of Instruction,
points too plainly to a new expedition of a
formidable character against the Southern
coast, to be mistaken by the blindest observer
of passing events. The strong arm of the
Government has been laid upon the Sc-
cessionists of Baltimore and vicinity, more
in sorrow than in anger doubtless, but yet in
a manner that will cause Baltimore for some
time to come, to be ever mindful of the deli-
- cate attentions of the Oflicials at Washing-
ton. And last, but not least, the siren cry of
Peace is no longer echoed through Connec-
ticut—white flags are no longer floating in
the breeze—white feather movements are no
- longer popular, and white men no longer
talk of backing down and giving up the Un-
ion to a nest of pestiferous traitors. Massa-
chusetts troops continue to pass through
Connecticut, and William W. Eaton is still.
There is no sound in the place where his
voice ought to be. His ten thousand men
who were to gather in' council in Hartford
County “to demand that a stop he put to this
damnable war,” have not appeared. But to
day twice or three times that number will be
in council, in the City Park of Hartford, to
hear Dickinson, Latham and Meagher, all
earnest for the Union and the War.
Above us today the sky is bright with its
fathomless depths of blue, and the serene
peace of an Autumn day rests upon all
around us. Out of the storm cometh beau-
ty. Out of the tempest cometh peace. An-
gry clouds maylowerflnd thunder roll, but
above all the sun is ever shining, and the
same blue sky is there. And soto our coun-
try, when the great storm shall pass, and
even now the clouds are breaking, . there
shall come again a peaceful sky, and au-
tumn days of gathering in our National
wealth, and a happy “ Union” Harvest
Home.

The Model Governor.
Gov. Buckingham, in addition to the innu-
merable acts which have challenged the ad-
miration and gratitude of every patriotic cit-
izen of Connecticut, has, we learn, just re-
ceived the first invoice of a cargo of the fa-
mous Enfield rifle, which he has imported
from England, in his own name and upon
his own pecuniary responsibility, for the
time being—for the use of our new regi-
ments. The 6th and 7th, which regiments
are expected to depart the present week,
will have, in consequence, this superior arm.
One of our merchants and most conserva-
tive citizens chanced to drop into the Quar-
termaster‘s Office at New Haven, one day
last week, and found the Governor, pen in
hand, intently giving his personal attention
to that very important branch Of the State’s
public interests, and he remarked to us that
he could not withhold the scriptural benedic-
tion, “Live, .0 King."
The County Fair.
The Agricultural Fair opensin Bridgeport,
tO-day, and continues throughout the week.
The general programme will be found in our
advertising columns. There is no reason
why the present should not be the best ex-
hibition ever given in our county, and we-
‘really hope our citizens will be as earnest and
active towards rendering it so, as they have
ever been.

The Base Ball Match.
Quite a large crowd assembled to witness
the match game of Base Ball, played on Fri-
day afternoon last, between the married and
single members of Columbia Club. The
game resulted‘ in favor of the married men,
by 34ruus. At the close of the fifth inning
the single men were four ahead, but the last
four innings proved too much for them. The
ninth inning ought not to have been played,
as it was too dark to see the ball. The fol-
lowing is the number of runs scored by each
side :
, ‘ lst 2d 3d 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th
Mari-ad‘s 6'3 0 9 21 s 4 19
Single 8741 8232 7
Nine home-runs were made, six by the
“boys” and three by the “men.” Mr. T.
Morison made a very acceptable Umpire, de-
ciding promptly and honestly. Another
game will probably be ‘played between the
same parties in the course of a fortnight.
Our N orwalk Company. E
We understand that Capt. Fownnn has al-
ready over eighty men in his Company, and
that they Will probably l’cavc for Hartford, to
join the Eighth Regiment, this week—per-
haps to-day. More men are wanted how-
ever, to fill up the Company to 101.

From our Bridgeport Correspondent.
Government Subscription Agent—Treas-
ury Notes—New Converts.
Enr'rons OF THE GAZETTE z—When polit-
ical parties were in existence, it is well
known that a class of Office huntersin every
community had a knack of turning political
“flip-flaps," and “wheeling about and jump-
ing Jim Crow," with such dexterity as al-
ways to turn up on the winning side. Hence
we have known men of wealth and influ-
ence go to bed ardent members of one polit-
ical party, rise the next morning “miracu-
lously converted" to the other side, and to
be elected to prominent offices, by their new
allies, within twenty~four hours after their
conversion! But these were more political
tricks, and the public only laughed at such
unprincipled summersaults, and pitied the
short sightedncss of any party which thus
offered and gave premiums to hypocrisy.
In this solemn crisis in our country's des-
tiny, all party considerations are wisely and
utterly ignored, and there are but two classes
of men, viz: loyalists, who openly support
our Government by Word and by deed; and
traitors, who, not daring to utter treason, ab-
stain from all acts favoring our Government,
and stand dumb as statues upon the great
question of our National existence.
Now is not the time to encourage hypoc-
risy, or to foster close-mouthed treason, and
while the loyal community gladly receives
with open arms all who will honestly come
forward and support our government, it is
absolutely necessary for our own safety, that
suspicious parties who suddenly become
S‘new converts,” shall be required to stand at
least a few weeks on “probation” before they
leap forward into the most prominent posi-
tions within the gift of the Government
which they have hitherto bitterly opposed.
This loyal community is surprised and
justly indignant that a man has been ap-
pointed “Subscription Agent” to the U. S.
Government whose sympathies with the
rebels have never been doubted, so far as I
can learn, and who by no act or word has
been known to exhibit the slightest evidence
of loyalty to this government, until the pres-
ent week, if at all. This man (P. C. Cal-
houn) flatly refused to sign the call of the
. late public meeting to strengthen and uphold
the hands of the government, and when his
fellow-citizens worth only tens of dollars to
his thousands were contributing liberally to
aid our noble and patriotic volunteers and
their families, Mr. Calhoun neither gave a
penny nor uttered a word of encouragement
for our struggling nation.
But now by some contrivance and tact
peculiar to that class of ambitious politicians
who generally manage “by hook or by crook”
to keep on the strongest side, this man has
been sureptitiously foisted upon Secretary
Chase as a proper person to take a responsi-
ble financial agency for a government for
whose support he has breathed no word, and
who in the community in which he lives has

Southern rebellion. Even a. public call on
him by name recently made through the
Standard, failed to pry open his jaws or to
unbloven his tongue in favor of this glorious
Union.
These being plain, unvarnished facts, sure-
ly no friend to his country can upon reflec-
tion conscientiously consent to stultify him_
self by taking a dollar’s worth of our Gov-
ernment securities through his hands, espe-
cially when it is known that any Bank Pres-
ident in this city will willingly procure from
the sub-treasurer Of New York, Treasury
Notes of any denomination desired, without
expense or trouble to the numerous persons
who wish to make a patriotic and profitable
investment in the notes of
UNCLE Saar.

The 6th and 7th C. V. Ordered Off.
On Sunday morning, Assistant Quarter-
master Wm. E. Foster received a dispatch
from Quarter-master-Gcneral Bunce request-
ing that the 6th and 7th Regiments should
be sent off on Monday, and suggesting that
things should be hurried up. This dispatch
led to great alacrity in the Quartermaster’s
department, and among the troops, who were
called from their Sunday duties to be sup-
plied with uniforms and other clothing, and
to prepare promptly for marching. Of course
the 7th was unable to attend the North
Church, as expected, and men were hastening
to provide themselves with outfits and say
good bye to relatives. The most extravagant
rumors grew out of this simple order, and re-
ports were prevalent of scverat attacks upon
Washington, the crossing of the Potomac,
and the other probabilities suggested in fertile
imaginations. All the officers of the regi-
ments, as well as the U. S. mustering Officer,
Lieut. Chamberlin, of the 14th Infantry, were
busy in forwardin affairs, and it is expected
that at least one Of the regiments will start
Southward to night, and that the other will
follow it immediately.
The 6th, Col. Chatfiéld, numbers about 900
men. is uniformed and paid off. The 7 th,
Col. Terry, numbers about 950, but is only
partly uniformed and is not paid 011'. These
preliminaries will be accomplished to-day,
and a number Of recruits will arrive, which
will nearly or quite carry both regiments up
to the maximum of 1,040 each. The men
are in excellent spirits and have improved
(wonderfully in drill. The clothing and
utensils furnished are far superior to those
dealt out to the three months’ men, and the
public is gratified in witnessing the great im-
provements since Quartermaster Bunce has
taken hold of the department.
with great dilligencc to the work of fitting
out the troops, and has done away with many
of the abuses incident to the first stages of
the volunteering business. With a man like
Gen. Tyler for Adjutant-General, he would
soon reduce our State volunteer service to
the regularity, system and intelligence of the
army departments. It is encouraging to vol-
unteers to note the decided improvements
‘ going on, and as confidence in supeior Ofiicers
increases, the labor of filling new regiments
will be greatly reduced.

WWe commit no impropriety in an-
nouncing that the preparations for two im-
portant movements against the Southern
coast are going rapidly forward, so that the
expedition will be ready to set sail within a
very few weeks. In one of them, the land
forces will probably be under Major-Gen.
Butler, and in the other, under Brigadier-
Gen. Sherman, who is now in command of
the important camp at Hempstcad, Long 184
land. \Ve believe that the number of troops
of all arms employed in the two will be about
25,000 men, with naval forces of proportion-
ate strength. Precisely what places are to
be assailed we do not know, and would not
state if we did; but we may safely infer from
the magnitude Of the preparations that the

"UNION MASS MEETING AT.
BRID GEPORT.
THE VOICE OF CONNECTICUT. i
“’0 condense from the New York Tribune ‘,
|
On Saturday the people Of Fairlield,Lilch- l
field, New Haven, and other counties turned
out in their might to testify their unswerviug
devotion to the Union, and to declare their
determination to support the Government in
the most vigorous war measures: The meet-
ing was held under an immense pavilion in
the Fair grounds at Bridgeport, and the ar-
rangements for the purpose were most ad-
mirable. In the procession were the Bridge-
port cavalcadc, the Wheeler d: Wilson Band
in a carriage, two youthful companies, the
Bridgeport Lancers, Capt. Stevens, and the
Zouavcs, Capt. Clancy; then followed citi-
zens in carriages. Over the Speaker’s plat-
form was the motto; “Liberty and Union
now and forever.” The number present
was estimated at 10,000.
Sherwood Sterling, Esq, was chosen
l’rcsident'of the meeting. After prayer by
Rev. Dr. Hewitt, a series of resolutions were
passed and then the Hon. D. S. DICKINSON
was introduced and received with hearty ap-
plause.
After it had in a measure subsided, the
speaker commenced by asking wh" that vast
concourse Of people was there? [boy had

New England and the War—“We Have
not yet Begun to Fight.”
Some of the papers are charging New Eng-
land with a want of enthusiasm in the war.
It is said that she does not contribute her
proper share of men to the army, and com-
parisons are instituted betweenMassachusetts
and Illinois to the discredit of the former.—
Now while we we glory in the patriotism and
self-sacrifice of the Prairie State and would
not pluck a leaf from the laurel crown of any
gallant State of the great Northwest, it is no
more than just that we should bear in mind
the following facts: First, the one hundred
thousand, or more, under General Fremont’s
command, are to a great extent, emigrants
from New England; while not a man of
Westcin birtl can be cund in an Eastern
regiment. ”he' truth' is, ' the West ‘has been
for the last twenty-five years, draining with
wonderful rapidity the East of“ its young men
until now the population of New England
consists largely of persons who are either too
young or too old for military service. Sec-
ond, it is safe to affirm, that at least two-thirds
of the naval force of the country are drawn
from New England. The twenty or thirty
thousand men who are managing our war
steamers and gunboats do not make much
show in our public prints. And yet it need-
.ed amine brilliant exploit at Cape Hatteras
to demonstrate; to men of intelligence, that
our Nay must play an important partiu the
bloody rams, upon whose first act the cur-
tain has scarcely {Slit-n.
Third, a very large proportion of all the
material necessary for conducting the war
with efficiency and success is manufactured
in New England. Probably not less than

king every variety of articles required by the
toops from a havelock to a rifled cannon.—
Illinois soldier marches in Lynn shoes, wears
a coat of Lawrence cloth, and shoots seces-
sion traitors with a Springfield musket.
.We might mention some other considera-
tions pertinentto this subject, not forgetting
thielihéin‘l outpouring mamas; these are suf-
ficient fdr our purpose, The fact, ho'wcver,is
not to be disguised, that neither New Eng-
land nor any of the other loyal States have
yet seemed to realize fully the magnitude of
the interests involved in this gigantic rebel-
lion of the slave holding oligarchy. The re-
buff at Manassas, and the melancholy, not to
say needless, slaughter of the heroic Lyon,
have'served'to quicken'ths 'pulSe of - the-
