... - The Result.
Wei-give returns as far as received up to
thithbur of going to press, and from a care-
ful‘e‘x'aminatton of our tables it will be easy
toll-determine the general complexion of the
State.(?)
But in this utter Waterloo Rout of the Sc-
cession forces in' our State, we do not desire
to indulge usual partizan exultations. The
rather, let us all reverently and profoundly
thank God, that in a crisis like
the present, when a wicked and unnatural
war is being waged against our national life,
covering the land with desolation, bowing
the energies of the people with enormous
taxation, filling all hearts with sorrow and
anguish, and the country with widOWS and
orphans—The rather, we repeat, let us thank
God that the PEOPLE have risen in their pat-
riotism and their might to strike down this
monstrous, this infernal crueity and crime.
The issue was fairly made, of “Union for
the sake of the Union,” and of candidates on
the other side and a platform unmistakably
committed to open sympathy with the ene-
mies of the country. And, is it not also a
course of deep mortification and regret that
even so many have been found, who, from
want of reflection or force of habit, have
been found to endorse such a platform.—
Will the utter and overwhelming demor-
alization of such a defeat, bring its better
lessons of a change of policy for the {futurel
Annexed will be found the vote of Nor-
walk and the neighboring towns :—

WThe Breckinridge press have represen-
ted that the Border States were all opposed
to President Lincoln’s plan of aiding, by the
General Government, such States as were
disposed to gradual emancipation. It ap-
pears, however, that when the resolution
passed the Senate, proffering such aid, it re-
ceived the vote of Messrs. Davis, of Ken-
tucky, Henderson, of Missouri, and Willey,
of Virginia. So, the Border men are not
unanimous in opposition to the resolution—
as stated in some quarters.

Mr. Everett’s Lecture.
The Lecture of Hon. Edward Everett, giv-
en at Lockwood‘s Hall last Thursday even-
ing, was one of those rare intellectual rc.
pasts with which the citizens of the more
provincial towns are seldom found. \ In his-
toric interest and scholarly elegance it was
unsurpassed, and although there was not the
same field tor the classic graces of Mr. Eve-
rett’s happiest moods, as in his “Character of
Washington” perhaps, nevertheless, in view
of the times and the condition of the coun-
try which has Called this Lecture forth, We
doubt whether any more gratifying address
could be presented to the loyal citizens of
this great Confederacy. ‘
We do not think that a promiscuous audi-
ence was ever gathered in Nor-walk, embra-
cing so much solid character and high res-
pectability. Large numbers were in from
the adjoining towns, some as far as from
Ridgcfield. The venerable speaker and
statesman was introduced to the audience by
Judge Butler, and the audience hung upon
his lips unwcaried for full an hour and a
quarter. It is a pleasure for us to know that
both audience and speaker were mutually
pleased. The entire attention and the order
and apparent character of his auditors were
the subject of complimentary remark by the
speaker. The thanks of the community are
due to Col. F. St. John Lockwood, who as-
sumed the pecuniary responsibility of this
gratifying and inssructive entertainment.
Mr. Everett addressed a much larger au-
dience at Seeley’s Hall, in Stamford, on Fri-
day night, as we learn.

Sermons by Rev. Wm. B. \Vccd.
The compiler of these discourses has re-
ceived strong testimonials to theirhigh char-
acter. The latest of these is from the es-
teemed pastor of an important Church in
New Jersey. He says—“In looking through
the volume of Mr. Weed‘s Sermons I am
strongly impressed with their excellence,and
think I shall find them a rich mine to dig in.
They have many gems of thonght,sentiment,
and illustration, and I wish to add my per-
sonal acknowledgments to the many you
have, doubtless, received already, of the ser-
vice rendered by yourself to the Christian
public in their compilation.”

113‘ At the town meeting last Thursday
afternoon a good deal of ill-feeling seems to
have been engendered, which we think
would have been spared had a fair opportu-
nity been afforded for a candid statement of
the wishes of the petitioners. Whether this
was feared by the knowing ones or not we
cannot tell, but the mode adopted to crash
out the rights of petition and free speecb,was
not calculated, in our humble judgment, to
promote future peace and harmony. Let all
have a fair hearing, a fair field and no favor,
and then let the majority govern.

W It is now thought that the plans of
Mr. McKay, the great shipbuilder, Were sto-
len from the Navy Department at Washing-
ton, at the commencement of the rebellion,
and put in use in fitting out the Merrimac at
Norfolk, to render her shot proof.
Mr. McKay says that when he produced
his plans to build an iron-cased vessel-of~war,
the Secretary of the Navy and the President
were anxious that such a vessel as he propo-
sed should be built without delay; but the
chief naval constructor, (rebel) when the
plans were submitted to him, would not even
turn his back to look at them; but answered
Mr. Kay, over his shoulder, that iron-plating
was a humbug. Finding that it was time
thrown away to remain in Washington, Mr.
Kay left to look after his business at home.

England. \Ve will go further. We assert
that there are not five hundred men in the
forty counties of west Virginia who do not
regard slavery as the most formidable barrier
to advancement that the state has had to con-
tend with. It is unprofitable, and therefore
a nuisance, as every man knows. The more
wealthy man are, if intelli cut, the more they
feel the evils itimposes. Vhy, even Jackson
in his letter, says he is opposed to the consti-
tution because it does not make west Virgin-
ia free. He cannot wait for time to do its
work; but wants freedom now, it he has a

FEDERAL CRUISERS CLOSING AROUND THE
SUMTER.——Lettcrs fi-omGibrallar of February
27th, state that the Confederate privateer
Sumter was still at Gibraltar, unable to ob-
tain coal. The gunboat Iuo, Captain Cressey
arrived at Algesiras February 27th, from
Cadiz. The gunboat Tuscarora, Captain
Craven, was also at Algesiras. These crui-
sers are watching the Sumter, which will
render it an impossibility for that vessel to
escape from her present harbor of refuge.—
The sloop-of-war Kearssge, from Portsmouth
had not arrived Februar 27th, but was daily
expected—Boston Trace .
Monday’s “’ar News.
A dispatch received last evening and dated
from Fortress Monroe on Saturday, makes
mention that the Mcrrimac, now known 1.5
the “Virginia,” is receiving a supply ul ‘coal
at the Norfolk Navy Yard. and was expected
immediately to make her appearance in the
Roads. She is reported to have a heavier
armament than on her first appearance. The
latest dispatch says that the Merrimac gives
no Sign.
By the arrival yesterday of some trans-
ports at Fortress Monroe, from Newborn on
Thursday, a mail is reported for the North,
and currency was given to a statement that
Gen. Burnside had been summoned by cer-
tain Rebel authorities to evacuate Ncwbcrn
wrthin ten days. The Genera.‘s reply was
that he was would defer any conference on
the question at issue until he he had reached
Raleigh.
From Beaufort it is reported that Fort Ma-
con still holds out, and active preparations
are making for its investment.
The Fortress Monroe dispatch makes refer-
ence to havy firing heard in the direction of
Yorktown—rumor having it that that place
has been burnt. To the statement is attach?
ed the usual precautionary hint as to the im-
probability of the story.
Brisk skirmishing, but no decisive struggle
is reported from Gen. Buell’s division, at Sa-
vanna, on the Tennessee River—the point to
which Gen. Bucll had advanced from 001-
umbia.
From Island No. 10 we learn that on the
3d inst. some progress was made by the shel-
ling a Rebel. battery and the burning .of a
Rebel steamer; to this is added a statement
boy a Western paper that. thirteen iron gun-
boats, constructed at New Orleans, have been
dispatched to the aid of the Rebels at No. 10
a report which would indicate the immincnce
of a conflict more severe than had been at all
anticipated. Still more important is the la-
test intelligeucc, An official dispatch to the
Navy Department brings the pleasing intelli-
genCe that the Union gunboat Carondelet,
commanded by Capt. Waugh, successfully
ran the Rebel blockade at the island, passing
unscathed under the fire of the batteries.—
The importance of the this dashing advance
is seen in the fact that the Caronpelet will be
of the greatest service to Gen. Pope, and also
as showing that others may follow when they
are wanted.
A Louisville Union journal, have carefully
surveyed the field, expresses the opinion that
if the National army wins the expected battle
Corinth, it must be against great and fearful
odds. Gen. Gustavus W. Smith is said to
have gone there with 60,000 men. Thither,
also, the Rebel fighting material of Arkansas
Missouri, and Texas has been ordered, and it
is deemed certain thatin a few days the Rebel
hosts within striking distance of Corinth will
number 175,000 or 200,000 men.
The headquarters of the advancing army
were reported yesterday afternoon to be five
miles from Yorktown, and a reconnoisance
had been made in force toward that place.
We have some intelligence from the De-
partment of the Shenandoah. The Rebels
keep up a constant skirmishing near our ad-
vance position at Edinburgh, making repeat-
ed but unsuccessful attempts to drive in the
pickets of the National force and impede the
operations of the bridgebuilders. Jackson’s
force is said to be in part composed of Pro-
Union men who have been impressed into
the Rebel service.

113‘ “Perley’hof the Boston Journal, in
speaking of the rush of the curious to Ms-
nassas and the mania for relics, thus gives
shrewd hints:
A Yankee took out a wagon load of old
traps picked up round the deserted camp
grounds of the Massachusetts Eighteenth
sold out on. Thursday and Friday, realizing
over two hundred dollars. Ready penmeu
in the advance regiments obtain from one to
five dollars each for “letters found in secesh
huts,” the price raising in proportion as the
spelling is bad and the hatred of the Yankees
profanely expressed.

John S. Phelps.
John S. Phelps, of Springfield, Mo. was
one of the most gallant leaders of the Union
forces at the battle of Pea Ridge, Arkansas.
Though not an old man, he is the senior
member of the House of Representatives of
the United States. He, his wife and son have
all done true and gallant service in the pres-
ent war, and after he was driven from his
home at Springfield, he raised the 25th Regi-
ment Missouri Volunteers, of which he is
Colonel, abandoning for the time, his seat in
the House, to save his country. '
Col. Phelps is a son of the late Elisha
Phelps, of Simsbury, in this State, where Col
Phelps was born, and a nephew of Hon. J ef-
frey O. Phelps of Simsbury, and Hon. Noah
A. Phelps of Middletown. The sons of Con-

Discouragemcnt of the South.
A French gentleman of distinction, who
went to Richmond a few weeks since full of
admiration for the spirit displayed by the
rebels, and a strong sympathizer with their
cause, has recently returned in a very differ-
ent state of minn. He reports that the feel-
ing in Richmond is one of utter depression
and despair. The leaders try to animate the
courage of their followers by false statements
they are going to do, but the people are not
neceived, and the prevalent impression was,
to use our informant’s own words, “that se-
cession was surrounded by a wall of fire from
which it is impossible to escape;” It is only
necessary, we think, to read the rebel jour-
nals. affd notice the desperate efforts made to
draft men into the military service, to be con-
vinced of the truth of this representation.

M‘Franklin Buchanan, the recent com-
mander of the rebel steamer Merrimac, now
reported to have died at Norfolk from
wounds received in the late conflict at Hamp-
ton Roads, was a Marylander and ,served in
the U. S. Navy from 1815 to 1861 with much
ability, though always an arbitrary and
haughty officer.
When the rebellion broke out he was com-
mandant of the Navy Yard at Washington,a
post of' honor and one which he had held for
several years. One of his daughters married
on the evening of the inauguration of Presi-
dent Lincoln, and the President and all the
Cabinet officers attended the wedding.
On the day the Massachusetts regiment
was attacked in Baltimore, this deceitful reb-
el and his newly-fled red son-in-law sent in
their resignations ant immediately left the
city. He chartered a large omnibus with
four horses, and stowing away his family
made for Baltimore, and thence by boat,
pulled to the Eastern shore, where he had a
arm.
He subsequently went to Norfolk and “died
as the fool dietb.”

We are indebted to F. C. Long of Wilton,
for a copy of the Wheeling Daily Press, of
March 13, from which we extract the follow-
' ing account of the
Welcome of the Conn. Cavalry :
On Wednesday afternoon, the battalion of
Connecticut cavalry now encamped onWheel-
ing Island, paid a visit to our city, under cs-
cort of Major Downing, Post Quartermaster,
and Col. Crothers, Aid of Gov. Pierpont, and
having formed in front of the M‘Lurc House
saluted his Excellency.
Gov. Pierpont addressed them in substance
as follows:
He cordially welcomed them as the loyal
sons of Old Connecticut to the soil of Old
Virginia. They came from a State wliere
liberty had ever been cherished and the
rights of freemen sedulously cultivated and
protected. They had come hither to fight
for those liberties and the security of the
same to all parts of the Union, and to put
down the rebellion which had risenin the
Southern part of the United States against
the government established by their fathers
and the fathers of the people of the South as
well. This rebellion had not been underta-
ken for the preservation of any local institu-
tion of the South, but was the legitimate off-
spring of the overweening desire of political
leaders to retain power long wielded by them
and others. Against that rebellion and those
supporting it only was it their duty to fight.
It dI_d his heart good to see such as them
coming from all parts of the country to the
rescue of the Constitution and the Union—to
see the people, the bonafidc sovereigns of‘ the
country, such as they were, rising in their
might with sabre and bayonet to put down
traitors, rebels and treason.
They had left their homes and come to
Virginia to fight for the liberty of Connecti-
cut, New Hampshire and Massachusetts as-
much as Virginia. And be trusted they
wopld carry out faithfully the objects of their
enlistment, in aiding to suppress the rebel-
lion, and as faithfully remember to respect
rights of all loyal citizens under any circum-
stances.
_In.conclusion, he again welcomed them to
Virginia as men of Connecticut and co-de-
fenders of the Union.
Major Lyon, commander of the battalion,
called upon his men for three cheers for Old
Virginia. which were heartily given.
The Major then proceeded to respond to the
address of the Governor.
He said: He and his command had left
happy and comfortable homes in their native
State, Connecticut, to come to the seat of
war, that_they might aid in putting down
the rebellion. They came from the land of
Putnam and other Generals who had fought,
Slde by Side with those of other States, and
undcr'command of'Virginia’s General,George
Washington; and in conformity with the
teachings of their ancestors and of their true
men of the present day, the same that they
had heard from his (the Governor’s) lips to-
day, and with their habits of thought and ac-
tion at home, with holy purpose and deter-
mmed arms, had drawn the sabres from their
scabbards, never to be sheathed until this in-
famous rebellion should bc crushed. They
had resolved to do their whole duty by the
rebels and the loyal men everywhere. His
men were of those who enjoyed all the com’
forts of domestic felicity at home, and had
cheerfully left those comforts and all the en-
dcurments clustering around them, with the
sacred determination never to Islam, until
the whole United States Should be re-united,
and peacefully acknowledging and enjoying
benefits of the re-establishcd government of
the Union.
They know no North, no South, no East,
no West, but one common country, subject
to the laws of the Federal government and
securing to the citizens of each and all of the
States all the rights to which they were en-
titled under the Constitution, the magn a
sharia of American liberty.
They would here and elsewhere show
themselves worthy of the welcome which had
this day been extended to them.
_The Major called upon his command to
give three cheers for Gov. Pierpont, which
order they promptly obeyed.
Attire request of the Governor, our citi-
zens In attendance gave three Cheers for Old
Connecticut, after which the battalion para-
ded past the .M’Lure House and, marching
through the principal streets of the city, re-
turned to their camp.
'The battalion is fully uniformed and equip-
ped, each man being Supplied with an excel-
lent horse. They are said to be well posted
in cavalry tactics.

Foote, dated “ 06' Islam] No. 10, April 2d,”
which says that on Tuesday night an armed
boat expedition was fitted out from the
squadron and land forces at this point under
command of Col. Roberts, of the 42 111. Ft“:
boats comprised the expedition, each with a
boat’s crew of 10 men from their respective
vessels, carrying in all 100 men, exclusive of
officers under command of Col. Roberts. At
midnight the boats reached the Upper or No.
10 fort, and pulling directly on its face car~
ried It, receiving only the harmless fire of
two scntincls who ran, on discharging their
nruskcts, while the rebel troops in the vicin-
Ity rapidly retreated, whereupon Col. Rob-
erts spiked the six guns mounted in the fort
and returned with the boats uninjured. The
commanding officer represents all under his
command, from their coolness and determin-
ation, as being ready to perform more haz-
ardpus service had it been required for the
fulfillment of the object of the expedition.—
These guns bad all been mounted within the
last three days.
WASHINGTON, Friday, April 4, 1862.
The following dispatch was received at
the Navy Department this evening:
Hon. CIDEON WELLES, Secretary, qftlte Naog:
This morning the Benton, Cincinnati and
Pittsburg, with three mortar boats, opened,
and continued for more than an hour, a fire
on the Rebels heavy floating battery at Island
No. 10,then thelatt'cr havingreceivéd several
shells from the rifles and mortars, cut loose
from her moorings, and drifted two or three
miles down the river. The shells were
thrown from the flotilla into different parts
of the Island, and into the Rebel batteries
lining the Tennessee shore. The return fire
produced no effect on the squadron. No
more men than were actually necessary to
man the batteries were visible.
. A. H. FOOTE, Flag Officer.
CHICAGO, Friday, April 4, 1862.
A special to The Journal, dated Cairo, 4th
says: “A boat arrived from Island No. 10
last‘ night. Firing resumed on Thursday
morning by the gunboats and mortars. One
of our shells burst upon the rebel steamer
Winchester, which set her on fire and burn-
ed her to the water’s edge. During the firing
the rebels towed their floating battery up to
a position, and tried to reach us with a shot
from her 32-pounder rifled guns,but the shot
fell short; and after a couple of hours ma-
neuvering, was taken back to her old point.
Several shots were fired at the Rebel trans-
ports by thc Union gunboats. The Rebels
are erecting batteries all along the Tennessee
shore to prevent the landing Of the Union
troops from Missouri.
CAIRO, Aprit 5.—The firing at Island No.
10 last night disabled the floating battery of
the rebels. One shell struck directly in it,
killing three men and disabling it so that it
floated down towards the foot of the Island,
The firing today has been more active, and
has done good execution.
A messenger from New Madrid this eve-
ning reports that the rebels planted a battery
last night opposite Point Pleasant, and this
morning opened fire on our works. After
some time the battery was silenced by our
guns, and a warehouse on the Kentucky
shore set on fire by our shells. Its contents
wore consumed. N0 casualties on our side
are reported.
Brilliant Runof' the Caron-
dclet.
CHICAGO, April 6.—A'special to the Times
dated New Madrid, the 5th, says; “The gun-
boat Carondelet arrived last night, having
run the rebel blockade at Island No. 10,with-
out damage. She had in tow on the side
exposed to the tire of the rebel batteries, a
barge loaded with hay, arran ed in such a
manner as to protect her. he night was
intensely dark and stormy. She passed the
first battery before being discovered. The
second fired on her as soon as its guns could
be brought to bear, but owing to the dark-
ness and the speed with which she moved the
fire was perfectly harmless. A third battery
also concentrated its fire on her, but not a
shot struck her. '
She passed the fourth .and fifth batteries
with the same fortunate result. Fifty-three
shots were fired at her. Three miles below
the Island, the rebcl’s floating battery open-
ed on her and continued firing until the Car-
ondelet was out of‘ range.
All through the passage, a continous fire
of musketry was kept up from the shore,
and many bullets struck tbé boat, but all
hands being below, nobody was hurt. The
Carondelet did not discharge a gun during
the entire passage. She passed the last but-
tery within an hour after leaving the fleet.
A telegram from the Island at 6 o’clock
last evening, says that very heavy firing was
heard in the direction of New Madrid. It is
thought that the Carondelet was engaged
with some of the rebel gunboats. From 1
to 8 O’clock heavy reports werc heard every
minute. -
Her escape from injury in running the
blockade, is attributable to the fact that she
bagged the shore of the Island so closely
that it was nearly impossibie for the rebels
to depress their guns sufficiently to hit her.
There is great rejoicing throughout the
fleet at this signal success.”

try rush to Incct in deadly conflict. .
The struggle to maintain our national
union and preserve our free institutions; 13
taxing our resources, and costing the 11V03
of our purest, most noble and patriotic men.
In' our anxiety and distress it becomes us,
as a people, to recognize the power and au-
thority of Him, who “taketh up the isles use
very little thing," and before whom “the na-
tions are counted as the small dust of the bal-
ance;" to acknowledge His righteous Judg-
ments, and seek His favorable interposrtion;
l0 confess our sins and learn those lessons
of humility and reverence, of justice and loy-
alty, which He would teach us by His Prov-
idence.
I do therefore appoint FRIDAY, THE 18TH
DAY OF APRIL NEXTJD be observed through-
out this Commonwealth as a day of Humili-
ation, Fasting and Prayer; and earnestly
recommend our citizens to devote the day to
such acts Of public religious services and
private devotion as will be acceptable to
God, and tend to bring their lives into closer
conformity with the requirements of the di-
vine law :— . ‘
Also; that they pray God to give HIS
Spirit to this whole people, and lead them
to cherish the races of penitence, faith and
charity; that I e will watch with paternal
care over those, who at the call of duty have
gone to the camp and, the battle-field, and
give consolation to the friends of those who
have already fallen; that in manifesting HIS
just displeasure against our national sins, He
will remember the innocent and the loyal;
that He will not suff r the jealousy or cupid-
ity of monarchial Go ernments to interfere
with the advancement of civil liberty through
republican institutions; that He will lead all
who are in authority, to rely upon Him for
direction, and especially, that He will give
the President of the United States divine
wisdom, as well as power, to preserve the
unity, and uphold the dignity and authority
of the government, so that permanent peace

The Plot to Assassinatc the
President.
The memorable secret journey of Presi-
dent Lincoln f'rom Harrisburg to Washing-
ton, a year ago, turns out, after all, to have
been well advised. It has come out on a re-
cent trial of a man named Byrne, in Rich-
mond, that he was the captain of the band
that was to take the life of Mr. Lincoln.—
This Byrne used to be a notorious gambler
in Baltimore, and emigrated to Richmond
shortly after the 19th of April, of bloody
memory. He was recently arrested in Jeff
Davis capital on the charge of keeping a
gambling house and of disloyalty to the chief
traitor‘s pretended government. Wigfall
testified to Byrne’s loyalty to the rebel cause
and gave in evidence that Byrne was the
captain of the gang who were to kill Mr.
Lincoln, and upon this evidence, it appears,
he was let go.

ited for the purpose of recovering the bodies
of officers of Rhode Island regiments who
fell there mortally wounded. The remains
of Col. Slocum, together with the Major and
a Captain of his regiment, were found. The
old colored man who showed them the spot
where they were buried, said that the Geor-
gia regiment had cut the Colonel’s head off,
and buried his bod . The rebels made a
mistake and cut 0 the head of the Major
instead of the Colonel. They found all the
officers and soldiers buried with their faces
downward, an intended disgrace. It was
Gov. Sprague’s regiment that made such
frightful havoc with Bartow’s Georgia regi;

Succnss IN LIFE—A man’s best help is in himself
—his own heart. his own soul. his own resolute
purpose. The battle cannot be fought by way. A
man’s mind may be aroused by another— is esire
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 i Let him try hard—t 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 Das. Blame: or
Albany—who fought poverty ten years but is now
called the antocrat of pill manufacturers.
