— "1RW‘-\ - THEGAZETTE. v- Norwalk, Tuesday, Nov. 11, 1862. THE ELECTIONS. . "New York has gone “high and dry” for the Wood-Rynders-Secession-sympathizing " democracy, and. as'is “eminently fit and - proper” they are uproariously jubilant both in New York and Richmond. While we can see nothing in this but encouragement to the rebel cause, and embarrassment to the Gov- ernment, we must feel the heavier weight of mortiflcation at the fact that hundreds of ' those nominally republicans and loyal, have deliberately contributed to this result from sheer dissatisfaction with the manner in which the war has been conducted by the Administration. But the Iribune puts its ' reasons for the defeat so cogeutly and suc- ‘ cinctly and truthfully that we copy entire: “Never was a great and patriotic party ' doomed to bear up against such a com- bination of adverse influences as those with which the Republicans and Union ' War Democrats struggled in our contest ’ of yesterday- They Were compelled to ' _ meetat the polls. 1.} Every partisan of Slavery and arm- pathizer with the Slaveholders Rebellion; 2. The great Rumselliug interest, or- ganized as a political power, and lavish- . ing funds as well as efi'orts in behalf of . ‘ the Democratic ticket; » 3. Two Hundred Thousand Voters who never voted any other than the Dem- i coratic ticket, and 'never will,” though the ticket were all made up of Fernando and Ben Woods and undisguisedly favor- able to revolutionary usurpation and des- potism; " 4. Thousands whose god is Mammon, 3, ill who, finding the War expensive and lint dousome, are anxious for peace at any price; 5. Every coward who fears being draft- "-ed; 6. Every sneak who has been told that. Seymour’s election will relieve him from the payment of War Taxes, and is actu- ally fool enough to believe it; 7. The depressing effect of the recent Elections and their unexpectedly adverse results. . 8. The absence at the seat of War of at least One Hundred Thousand of our bravest and best, two-thirds of them ar- dent Republicans and a good share of the remainder Union War Democrats of the 'school of Dickinson, Bancroft and Tre- main; 9. General dissatisfacion with the slow progress or no progress of our Armies, ‘- and a widespread feeling that, through the incapacity, inefficiency, or insincerity, of our Military leaders, the blood and treasure of the loyal Millions are being sacrificed in vain. The loss to Gen. Wadsworth and the Union War ticket from this last source alone must be estimated by tens of thou- sands. It was in vain that the party of country bore up manfully against it and did all that men could do to mitigate its effect,—-“What is the use of sending our yourg heroes to die of exposure, fatigue and fever, in a war wherein they are not permitted to fightf—herein nothing is achieved because nothing is really and resolutely attempted?——whose progress is only marked by deaths in hospitals and augmentation of our Public Debt?— wherein mouth after month drags on its tedious hours to no purpose and with no result?”—such were the questions that caused thousands of voters to refuse in- viucibly to approach the polls, no matter how strongly urged, and impelled other . thousands to vote against their nobler impulses and better judgment—to vote according to the dictates of discourage- ment and despair. We tell the Administration most ear- nestly that the Country cannot endure another month’s inaction of our Armies —'liut Fernando-Wood dictatorship at the. North, in thorough sympathy if not in Open alliance with the Jeff Davis Re- bellion at the South, will inevitably re sult from such in'action. The War for the Union must be fought out speedily and resolutely or it will die out. The Result. In New York State the entire Demo- cratic State Ticket is elected by about 10,- 000 majority. Of the 31 Members of Congress 13 are probably Unionists and ’18 Democrats. As to the Legislature, it is a tie—64 Unionists, and 64 Democrats. The Senate is composed of 22 Union and 10 Democrats. In New Jersey, the Democracy has swept everything high and dry. Their Governor will have perhaps 15,000 ma- jority. Of the five Congressmen four are Democrats. In the Legislature the Dem- ' ocrats will control both branches, and consequently elect a United States Sen- _ " ator. In Massachusetts, Gov. Andrew, UniOn - is reelected by avery large majority»:- All the Congressmen are Unionists, un- less Mr Sleeper the peOples’ candidate in ' the HM District should disappoint ex- pectation.. The others are all straight Republican-Unionists. The Legislature is, of course, overwhelming Republican- Union. In Wisconsin the Democrats gain large- ly; they elect two Congressmen—the ' Unionists elect three, and one District is not reported. , . Little Delaware, a Slave State, does . nobly, the official vote shows that Cannon, Union. is elected Governor by 111 ma- jority. Temple, Dem., is elected to Con- gress by 63 majority. Two-thirds of the ', Legislature is Democratic. Illinois the Democrats have carried by 15,000 majority, and elect probably nine members of Congress, the Republicans 5. Democrats elect two-thirds of the Legis- lature-and have a majority of one or two ‘ in the Senate. InMichlgan the Republican majority , Col. Boyd from the Springfield district.

The important announcement is authori- tively made that Gen. Geo. B. McClellan is again dep’ésed from his command. As one who adhered to him ardently and hopefully as long as it was possible to hope for any- thing from him, we most heartily rejoice that, after more than a year of gigantic blundeiings or stupidities, or worse, with the Nation’s blood and the Nation's treasure poured out at his command, with almost wasteful lavishness, we are to have a change of men, in the hope of a change of measures. We rejoice also that his command falls upon ageneral of the same partizan school, so that no issue of a political bias may be made up against the Administration by the friends of the do-nothing officers and policy.

Respectfully your ob’t servant, _ ORRIS S. FERRY. 9» Another Nor-walk Hero. We learn that FERDINAND ST.JOIIN, son of George W. St.Jobn, late of this town but now of Muscoda, Wis, was shot at the late battle of Corinth. He was a member of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteers, had been for some timeconfined in the Hospital, but when the. fight commenced, insisted on taking part in‘ it. - He was shot in the mouth, horribly lace-’ rating his jaws and throat, yet he lay upon the battle-field undiscovered from Friday till Monday. After his rescue, he lived two days and seems to have died from utter inability to take nourishment, rather than from the mortal nature of his wounds. A Norwalk boy, earnest for the fray—he ltas fallen, and in falling, seals his martyrdom in most terri ble suffering, yet he hath his reward. 0» Loss of Generals. , We have to chronicle this week the death of three gallant union Generals, viz: Maj.- Gena. Mitchell_ and Richardson, and Brig.- Gen. Jameson. Gen. Mitchell died of Yel- low Fever, ut Port Royal, South Carolina; Gen. Jameson from camp fever contracted in the Peninsula Campaign; and the gallant “fighting Dick" Richardson, of wounds re- ceived in the battle of Antietam. We give elsewhere brief biographical sketches of their lives. They fought bravely and nobly, and at last died for their country. May their memory be enshrined in the hearts of all truemen. . , _____....,. Mortuary. From our obituary record this week, it will be seen that Diptheria, that terrible scourge among children, has proved fatal, in several cases during the past week, in our village. We do not know that we should be justified in stating the disease asepidemic, but we do know, that so prevalent has it be- come among us, that no parent is without the deepest solicitude, in view (B its terrible possibilities, while many mourners refuse to be comforted over the desolation it has al- ready wrought around the family hearth- stone. ' The terrible scourge is not alone confined to this section, for we read of its fearful havoc in all parts of the country. The de- cease of the mother and entire family of Mr. Sanford of Alabama, (daughter of our fellow- townsmau, C. N. Case, Esq.,) although oo- curriug in May last, yet but recently known to the Connecticut relatives, painfully illus- trates that the horrors of this disease are ad- ded to all the other sufferings of the revolted States. May kind Heaven shield and com- fort all its stricken ones. . o»---—-— .. 'More of the Patriotic Hack Driver. Our readers will recall the little incident narrated by us in our last, of the generous .and patriotic action of William Ryder in gra- tuitously taking the sick Massachusetts sol-‘ dier from the Philadelphia boat to the 27th St-Depot. A copy of the article having been forwarded to Gov. Andrew, his big and generous heart was moved to the following response :— COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS} EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Boston, November 5th., 1862. A. H.

The dispatch came direct over the telegraphic rout, 3,500 miles, the longest circuit ever Below, we give some extracts, of general interest, from a hurriedly written private let- ter, which we have just received from a member of the Fairfield County Regiment: MANASSAS J UNoTION, Nov. 5th. We left our camp at Tcnnalytown on Monday morning, marched to Georgetown, and took the steamboat to Alexandria. We remained there over night in one of the Camps established for paroled union soldiers. Here we were called upon by several sold- iers of the 19th Conn,, and Co. M.,1st Conn. Artillery. In the morning we passed by the 19th, (Litcbfield County Regiment,) which was drawn up in line, with arms-presented.- As the head of our ‘ column was opposite their right, we halted, presented arms, and gave and received three cheers, and then both regiments gave three for “ Old Connect- icut.” They gave us about 400 loaves of soft bread, and were going to give us eleven hun- dred loaves made into sandwitches, but we were not allowed to wait for them. We ar- rived here yesterday afternoon. . While marching to Georgetown to take the boat, we met 00. D., 1st Conn. Cavalry; they went to the boat and saw us off. Gen. Sickles is in command here. The country for a few miles around is level. The - rebels had a number of batteries here, which look as if they had been hastily constructed. We have stored our tents, as we are not al~ lowed (at present) to take them; we are to have shelter tents. GAINESVILLE, Va, Nov. 6th. I Here we are, brigaded with Gen. McLaue. We left Manassas about one o’clock, and ar- rived here at seven o’clock, P.'M. It is said by soldiers new here that we will not 'be al- lowed to write home during the advance, so our friends at' home need not be surprised if they do not receive regular letters from us in future. They are reminded, however, that we will be allowed to receive letters, if not to send them. We "leave to-morrOw for Thor- oughfare Gap.

I will guarantee we will be around that way before Spring. I don’t think this army will halt until they reach Mobile, for they are fast walkers and strong fighters.” _.____.q<. have done better for the Republicans than the Free States.

MOUNTED RIFLES, i NEAR SUEEOLK, VA., Nov. 1, 1862. f We have had another little exchange of compliments with the enemy on Black- water, a few miles lower down the river from the position where the lamented Wheelan met a soldier’s death. At four o’clock on the afternoon of the 30th, detachments from six squad- rons, numbering 240 men under Lieut.- Col. Onderdonk—our Colonel, C. 0. Dodge, being absent on another impor- taut expedition with the rest of the regi- ment—left camp to report to Gen. Pack for immediate service. On reaching Suf- folk, we found Gen. Ferry’s Infantry Brigade, Howard’s United States Arti- ery Battery, and the Seventh Massachu- setts Battery, all in motion, and Speer’s Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry also out The troops proceeded to Franklin, on the Blackwater, moving on rapidly through the n1gbt,-aud reaching the point oppo- stte the place at daylight. Their pickets and our advance exchanged fires at once, and as soon as possible, under cover of iour advanced skirmishers, the batteries were placed in position and opened on. the nest of rebels. They opened on their srde with their batteriesin a short time, but‘our guns were too well served to en- able them to make half a show. We to pi, and, in obedience to orders, return- ed at a late hour last night to this post. There were, none killed and but few wounded on Our side. Their loss, indulg- ed from- yells and shrieks and appearan- ces, as we drove them from cover, must have‘been severe. There is no ford or bridge on the Blackwater in that direc- tion,“and having no pontoons with us, we could not cross to follow them up. The expedition was asuccess, so far as obe- dience of orders permitted. We are anxious and ready for a move on to Petersburg, and know we can make it whenever Headquarters at Washing- ton will permit it. Our Generals and our troops are anxious and ready for the cheering word, “forward.” _—____.‘<. hasTbe following tribute to the gui- lant Tenth is from a letter published in the New Bedford Mercury: “I have great pleasure in communicating to you that a friend of mine, aid-de-camp, operating in the army of North Carolina, told me of all the Nethcrn troops he had seen un- ‘der fire, none showed more enthusiasm than the New Englanders. He added that the Tenth Connecticut made such splendidshooting at N ewbern that a field piece opposed to them only fired one shot. The rebels were never able to man it again, for their‘ artillerymen were shot down. as fast as they made their appear- ance. Nor did their infantry fare much better. The supporting regiment, al- though supported by field works, was si- lenced in seven minutes. The Connec- ticuters acted on the principle—‘where- ever you see a bead hit it,’—and when- ever a rebel cap made its appearance Over the work it had a federal bullet as well as a rebelskull in it simultaneously, .so much so that the rebels soon simply .raised their muskets over the parapets at arms length and fired without attempting to take aim.” .‘gp. @Nobody need be afraid of the war democrats elected to Congress at the West.
