Mmial Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 1863.
DEAR Gamm—s‘l‘here is little to write
about with which your leaders are not al-
ready acquainted. When I returned from
,Falmouth, I found that our State Naval
Commissioners had mostly skedaddled for
‘ home, (Mr.,Cartl:r among the number:) their
8150 voted to cover expenses, by the State,
either having run out, or theprospect of secur-
ing the proposed Yard at New London prov-
ing so discouraging as not to warrant a longer
stay here. Bushnell, andagee, Prentiss
and Hyde still “adhere," and I am quite
: confident will win the half victory of kill-
ing off the League Island project, and throw-
. ing the Connecticut project over till the next
session, when, as I confidently expect, Bran-
’ dagee will he himself a member of the House,
and can engineer his pet measure himself.
The news of the renomination of our old
State ticket, is received by our soldiers with
marked exprasions of approval. Even
democrafi, who are in our Connecticut regi-
ments, are stronger in their praise of Gover-
nor Buckingham’s patriotic action, than the
few Republicans at home are, who didn’t get
positions in our regiments are in the censure
of him. If our soldiers could vote, there
would be litlle effort required to secure the
success of ourcandidates next April, but asit
is, no effort must be omitted, if we would suc-
ceed. When we witness in staid old Quaker
Pennsylvania; armed rufliians in the halls of
her Legislahife, and with brutal intimidation,
seeking to secure a partizon triumph, may
“ we not tremble for the safety of all that we'
hold dearest in our free form of government;
- Again, at Albany, the same pro-slavery
power, which would first ride into a short
lived po'Wer over the ruins of democratic
ll‘bery, prelcrfing a party victory to a nation’s
salvation; importing its prize fighters and
bullies to coerce a triumph they cannot
otherwise win. Do not theso demonstrations
of enobocrocg (not dcmocracy,) appeal to
every true. American man to lay aside his
partizan coat and give his most earnest rebuke
and protest to every such administration?
We hope the honest and patriotic men
hitherto associated with the disloyal democv
racy will, in the coming election, show them-
geves truly and heartily for their country and
not their party. The still meaner toadyism
of proposing to cut off New England and
“leave her out in the cold,” while it strips
sham damneraoy Of its traitor-5’ guise, and
can inspire only the contempt of its own
honest members, at the same time, invites
attention to the significant fact, that New
England capital (Md ntdefizcturers is pay-
ing about three fourths of all the enormous
gouernment separates. Nol No! N cw Eng-
land is entirely too good a pay/master to be
3110th out of the Union on any such flim-
sy pretext as the probabilities of securing
. the government to the sham democracy, in
the event of her beieg got out of the way.
This suggests one of the most important
movements now going all in the army,
which haabeon witnessed for many months
past, and one which will do more to inspire
confidence in commanders, and the govern-
ment, themselves and everybody else, than
anything else which could be devised; I refer
to the 11thth of the pug/rmsters and the pay-
.~ ing 01)“ of the great army of the Potomac.
Monty-Savers Millions went over the desk of
Gen. Spinner to these paymasters yesterday,
and during the week, something over One
. Hundred Millions Of Green-bucks have been
despatchcd for these waiting, unpaid soldiers.
From the most careful observation, I am
satisfied tint the non-payment of our troops
his bad a greater effect to dispirit and demor-
alize them, than all other influences com—
bined, (and there are many other insideous
influences specially devised, to sow the
Jonas of disaflcction all through our army,
_ ,which I mold name, had I the time and you
the space.) Irejoice that these noble men
are to be paid, and I know there will be re-
joicing, not only about the camp fires all
along the Rappahannock line, but “at home,"
all over the land where the loved and des-
pondent ones of these soldiers are to be
found. It is an instinct of our natures to
feel mean without money in our pocket; but
somehow or other, a soldier seems to feel
smarter than any one else when he is out of
money. And When, as has been the case for
the past five or six months, it is not his
fault, but that of his government, he has a
right to feel so.
You will, of course, get all the particulars
Fairliclcl County Agricultural
Society.
It will be seen by the notice in our adver-
tising columns, that this Socicty is to hold
its adjourned meeting, at Lucus‘s Hotel,
South Norwnlk, on chncsduy, Fcb. 1 Mb,
at which time the Committee on permanent
location, is to report, and the meeting to de-
cidc whether or not to locate permanently,
and if so, where. lVlIat action has been in-
kcn in the matter by those towns suitable
for a permanent location? is a question that
might properly be asked. We understand
that Danbury has offered the Society the free
use of an enclosed field, provided with a
half-mile track, which ofi‘er is the only one
yet made to the Society. This offer is a lib-
eral one, as liberal probably, as any other
town will make, and no doubt better than
the Society anticipated. But will they 10-
cate where the largest bid is made? We
think not. unless the largest bid comes from
the town possessing the most advantages
for making the Fairs interesting and success-
lconsideration the resources of each town and
vicinity from which a bid is received.
We do not think.the Society would re-
quire of us an offer equal to that of Danbury.
Norwalk is not only easy of access from all
parts of the county, but is the most central,
and whenever the Society has located here
success has followed. We have not the least
doubt that it a creditable offer was made by
Norwalk, the Society would locate here.
Who then will start in the matter? Nor—
walk is not behind other towns in enterpri-
ses of this kind. We have often, since the
exhibition last fall, heard not only farmers,
but those of other occupfitions, express a
great desire for the Society to make a per-
manent location in N orwalk. To effect this,
the necessary steps should be taken at once,
so that an offer can be made at the next
meeting, either for a permanent location or
for the next annual exhibition. If the time
is too short to make the necessary prepara-
tion before the meeting of the Society, an
offer should be made to secure the next an-
nual Fair here. By so doing, time would be
gained to prepare ourselves to make an offer
for a permanent location, at the next annual
meeting of the Society.
Let not Norwalk be behind in any thing
that tends to the advancement of Agricul-
ture and Horticulture. Who will more .9

.MR. EDITOR :—-Permit me, through
your columns, to make a suggestion to
the good people of this State. It is,
that a subscription be drawn up, and
presented to every loyal man in each
town for the purpose of erecting a mon-
ument in some public place in each town,
on which shall be inserted the names of
our brothers and sons,'who shall fall in
battle or by sickness, while engaged in
the services of our common country in
this our time of peril. It seems to me
that it would be esteemed a privilege for
us who remain at home, to do something
to perpetuate the names of those who have
willingly risked their lives and endured so
many privations for their country. I
think it no more than right that the name
of the private should obtain honorable
mention as well as that of the Officer, and
the plan which I have mentioned, I think
a feasible one. If thought advisable,
the names of all who have enlisted from
the town might be entered on one side,
while those who lose their lives might oc-
cupy a separate place. It seems to me
that these monuments would be worth
more to future generations than all the
histories that could be written. .Our
children, in the language of Scripture,
would ask, “ What mean ye by these 'f”
While our answer would be, “these are
in remembrance of those who were wil-
ling to lay down their lives for our coun-
try 1” We are under almost infinite obli-

GEN. ROSECRANS 0N COPPERHEADS.-—
Gen. Rosecrans is a Democrat. In con-
versation which Mr. Sessions of Colum-
bus 0., had with that officer at Mur-
frcesboro, since the battle, Gen. Rose-
crans said : We of the North did not
fully understand the enemy we had to
deal with; they fight like demons, dis-
regarding flags of truce and all laws of
civilized warfare, forcing boys into their
army, as the many wounded and dead
boys showed. Why, he said Bragg sent
in a flag of truce, and his men captured
fifty prisoners immediately behind it i
and being I'emonstrated with justified
himself after considering upon it five days.
His condemnation of the Peace Demo-
crats was scathing. He says they will
lick the boots of the southern thieves
and liars, who will turn around and kick
them ; they mean fight, fight, fight, and
we can never conquer except by fighting
in earnest, expecting to loose many valu-
able men. '

layed by the Storm.
The tempestuous weather since Tues-
day last, and the consequent impassible
state of the roads, have rendered any ad-
vance of the army of the Potomac be-
yond the Rappahunnock a matter of ut-
ter impossibility. The same causes so de-
layed the transportation of poutoons and
heavy artillery, to the designated points
as to prevent a surprise of the enemy at
the points designated to cross. Friday
afternoon the clouds broke away, and
the influence of the sun told favorably
upon the soil. Several paymasters have
already arrived, bringing joy to the sole
diers and relief for their families at home.
A delay in the payment of those active-

Inportant From Mexico.
New York, Jan. 24.—By the arrival of‘
the British steamer Shelldrake, we have
the following intelligence:
French communication betheu Vera
Cruz and Orizaba has been completely
cutoff by the Mexican guerrillas, and
can only be reestablished and kept up by
the French posting strong guards all
along the routes. The Mexican guerrillas
an: in strong force all along the road,
and worry the French unceasiugly.
It is reported that the French have
again been repulsed and driven back from
before Puebla, with great loss. The
French general Berthier’s van guard 4,-
000 strong, Were completely surprised by
800 Mexican cavalry, and about 2,000
of the French troops were killed and
wounded. Several French officers were
taken by the lasso and dragged off.
The prospects of the French look ex-
ceedingly bad. They cant get no supplies
from the country, and they are surroun-
ded by a most determined enemy, who
watch every opportunity to take advan-
tage of them. No French soldier can
stray from his camp Witllout;beinglassoed
and dragged off by some Mexican guer-
rilla who is on the watch for him.

TnE NAVY.—The sea-going qualities
of our new “Monitors” have now been
thoroughly tested and are found to be
everything that could be desired. The
Weebawken, Capt Rodgers, which left
New York on Sunday last, Was out in
the late tremendous north-east gale and
weathered it in the most handsome man-
ner. A dispatch has received from Com-
modore Rodgers, announcing his arrival
at Fortress Monroe, and Speaking in the
highest terms of the performance of his
vessel. The importance of this experi-
ence is iuestimable, and the thanks of the
country are due to Capt. Rodgers for
having overcome the prejudice of the sai-
lors, and for having courage thus to test
the only question which remains to be
proved—the sea-going qualities of our
Monitors. Verily, this is an important
event, and its influence on our foreign
relations cannot but- be benificial. The
Nshaut, iron-clad, and the Lackawana,
are known to have found shelter during
the gale inside the Deleware Breakwater.
The following squadron of fast steam-
ers has been sent off, or commissioned to‘
go, within a few (lays, on most important
business:
Lackawaua, steam corvette, navy built
Iroquios, gunboat, navy built; Sacramen-
to, large corvette' navy- built: Pawnee,
gunboat, navy built; Monongahela, gun-
boat, navy built; Ticonderoga, gun-boat,
preparulg. 0
These are all new, fast vessels, and on-
ly one of them the Pawnee was ever at
sea before. The Ladonna, Hendrik Hud-
son, aud other useful purchased vessels
are also sent away The workto be per-
formed by these ships, and the fleet which
accompanies them, will soon be heard of.

While waiting for the report of the Com-
mittee on Resolutions, the President called
upon Rev. Dr. Patton, of New Haven, for a
speech, and he made a good one, demonstra-
ting the character and principle of our Re—
publican form of government.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
as follows :
Resolved, That in the present crises of
our national afliairs it is the imperative
duty of all loyal men to give to the gov-
ernment as administered by our regularly
constituted authorities, their hearty and
undivided support, and that we cordially
approve of the uniform wisdom which
has guided the Administration amid dan-
gers of far greater magnitude than ever
before threatened the life of the Republic.
Resolved, That the Emancipation Proc-
lamation of the President which enforced
by all the military and naval power of
the government will remove the main sup-
port Of the rebellion, has our hearty sup-
port us a measure of military. necessity-—
alike expedient and just.
Resolved, That we heartily condemn
the fractious and revolutionarylspirit man-
ifested by the opponents of the Adminis-
tration, tending to aid the rebels in arms
rather than our soldiers in the field ; and
that as New England men, we resent and
condemn the efforts Of the leaders of the
Democratic party to alienate one section
of this Union from another, to create di-
visions between the East and the West,
and to separate any part of this people
from the heritage of freedom purchased
alike by the blood and treasure of all.
Resolved, That we firmly believe that
the only way of terminating the war is
by the success of our arms, and weearn-
cstly urge upon the Administration the
prosecution of the war with the most
earnest vigor, and by every means in its
power; and that with tears for our brave
beroas who have fallen in this conflic,
with admiration for their gallant com-
rades now in the field,witb sympathies for
those whose houses are made desolate, we
pl! (lge ourselves to the support of every
measure necessary for the Speedy crushing
out of this rebellion.
Resolved, That the hearty thanks. of
the people of this State, aim of the na-
tion, are due to the brave men who
throughout this war have upheld the un-
cieut renown of the “ Connecticut line,”
and that our hearts grow warm with pride
when We l‘crllcllloel' lllul not one solitary
stain has touched the honor of our flag,
when borne by the true and faithful hand,

ties/11ml, ’l‘hnt Governor Buckingham
and his associates, surrounded as they
have been by many difficulties and (mi-
burrussmcnts, have honorably and faith-
fully ndmiuislcrcd the affairs of the State
during the past year, and that they dc-
Scrvc, as they will receive, a renewed ex-
pression of confidence from the pcoplu of
this Commonwealth.
John F. Trumbull, of Stouington, was
called out and made one of his pleasant
spccchcs.
Hon. Henry B. Harrison was also called
out. He said it was long Since he had taken
part in any political convention, and if be
regarded this as a partizan Convention he
would not have been here. Not because he
had any hesitation in his faith in Republican
ideas, but because he thought this notime for
the advancing of partizan ideas. This Con-
vention represented the loyal blood of Con-
necticut. There are two kinds of loyalty.
It represents no rebels. Yet there is in the
State of Connecticut such a kind of loyalty
as accepts full communion with those who
have plotted the present treason. He severe-
ly scanned the action of the Estonian leaders
in this State, and gave a scathing analysis
of their disloyalty. He expressed the most
abiding confidence in the preservation of this
Union, in spite of whatever vicissitudes
might occur, and believed that God, nature,
and qommon interests would keep this nation
whole and sound. Mr. Harrison spoke at
length and with great earnestness. He was
listened to with marked attention, and fre-
quently applauded.
On motion of Dr. Ladd, the officers of the
Convention were thanked. and the body ad~
journed with three rousing cheers for the
ticket nominated. ' '
o
A PATRIOTIC DEMOCRAT—The following
is the condensed report of the noble speech
of Senator Wright of Indiana, delivered in
the U. S. Senate on Monday last, in reply to
Mr. Powell of Kentucky:
Mr. Wright, in reply, said he did not ac-
knowledge that democracy as true which in
time of war refused to aid the government.
There had been a Burr, a Calhoun, and a
Breckinridge in the ranks of the democracy;
and many of the democrats who, a year ago,
were acting with the Senator from Kentucky
were now in the rebel army. He (Wright)
did not belong to that wing of the democra-
cy. It was the duty of every loyal democrat
to aid the government by every means in
his power, in its struggle for life; and, in an
hour like this, he could draw no distinction
between the government and those whe car-
rying it on and trying to serve it. Secession -
Was the death of the nation,‘ and any admis-
sion of that principle by so-called proposi-
tions of peace from so-called democrats. was
death to the nation. ,
Yet there were men now trying to get into
political power through the misfortunes of
the country. The sentiments of Senator
Douglas could not be mistaken, when be de-
clared that there could be no neutrality in
this war. Men must be either friends or
traitors. Would the men who deprecated
war upon the rebels counsel submission to
them? Would they yield the government
up to the power of treason? f not, their
mutteriugs were mere idiocy. The key note
of all this has been sounded in New York,
under the specious claim of state sovereign-
ty. This nefarious doctrine—that the state
had the power to override the country in a
time of War like this—must. be put dOwn, or
the government would be ruined. Men had
kept still a year, until misfortune fell upon
our arms, and then they came out and cried
against the war in the name of democracy,
because they thought they could gain politi-
cal power.
And here to-day a Senator had talked for
an hour and a half concerning the war, and
had not said one Word against those rebels,
who were trying to break up the government.
If ever this government falls, its death would
come from traitors in the North; and it was
time that the government took measures to
defend itself against these traitors. There
were 15,000 graves in Indiana to day, and
she had sent one hundred thousand men to
the filed, and she would send one hundred
thousand more, before the government should
fall by the hand of treason. (Applause in the
galleries.) As Damilcar swore his child to
eternal hatred to Rome, so he was willing to
swear his children to forever fight for the
unity and preservation of this republic.
(Applause in the galleries.)

Interesting from the South.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.
The Philadelphia Enquirer has a letter
from Port Royal the 13th. The gunboat
“ Marblebead,” from the blockade of
Charleston,reports that six deserters from
Fort Sumpter reached the “Canandaiga”
in a foggy night. They report that one-
third of the garrison of Sumpter avowed
their intention of no longer fighting under
the confederate flag, whereupon nearly
all the garrison threw down their arms.
They were half famished, and their
families in want, owing to non-payment
for several months. The arrival of other
troops overawed the mutineers, and forced
them to return to their duties. A large
number of prominent ones, however, were
in confinement and would possibly be shot.
Their friends say if this is done they will
avenge their death. The dissatisfaction
among the rebel troops ,is Widespread
throughout the department ; the men are
worked day and night, and half starved;
receive no money, and live under the iron
rule of a despot. Scarcelv a day passes
without desertions.
The guuboat “ Wissabickon” recently
drove the rebels out of a battery at
Branch Island. Presently they returned,
a party of cavalry forcing them back to
the guns. They again opened fire and
the " ‘Wissabickon” received a shot in the
bull which nearly sunk her. She came to
Port Royal for repairs.

son that the emancipation proclamation
was inexpedicnt a uncoustitutional.” It
was endorsed “disapproved” and sent to
Gen. Sumner. who ordered the Lt. to be
at once tried by court martial for, lst,
“conduct prejudicial to good order and

In it. into :II‘liclc under the above Immi-

l‘(:C()ll:~ll‘llt‘llUll of (In: Union, proposed the
cXitlIIsiou of New England from the same
To that article ilIc following, taken
from the (Writ/inn Jllfl'm'lllt‘. rI'II/l Journal
is an appropriate sequel.
New England has an area of 62,382
Square llllli‘s, not so large as eitbcrtbe
State of Missouri 01‘ Virginia, and inferi-
ortothum in soil, climate, natural pro-
dllCU‘NIF, resources, and in a capacity to
support a large and prosperous popula-
tion. But what nature has denied her,
the intelligence, industry, enterprise, and
virtue of her children have more than
supplied.
She has a population of 3,135,000...
not so many as the single State of New
York, but with fewer people, she is for
richer than the Empire State, which has
a. total valuation of $1,442,000,000,
while Massachusetts alone possesses 8898
000,000, or nearly two thirds of the sum.
Of 5,036,900 spindles, in the United
States, New England owns 3,960,000.
Of $115,137,000 worth of cotton goods
produced in 1860, New England pro-
duced $60,300,000, Out of $68,866,000
worth of woolen goods produced in 1860
New England produced $38,506,000.
She also owns about one half of the ship-
ping of the nation, which in round num-
bers, amounts to 5,000,000 tons. And
in population, as in all other material in-
terests, she is yet increasing
New England has also been the hive
of nations. She has produced men as
well as all other things. Western New
York, Northern Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
and Iowa, as well as all Wisconsin and
Minnesota, have bien mostly settled by
her peOple. They are also found in all
other parts of the Union, and indeed, in
all portions of the globe. At the census
of 1850,200,000 of natives of Massa-
chusetts alone wercf ound in other Itates.
The revolutionary history of New En~
gland is also glorious. Strike her part
from the record of that period, and the
rest would be meager indeed Of the
231,791 troops furnished the continental
army by the States during the war of the
Revolution, there were from New Hamp-
shire, 12,497; Massachusetts, 97,907;
Rhode Island, 5,608, ; Connecticut, 31,
638 ; New York, 27, 781 ; New Jersey,
10,729 ; Pennsylvania, 25,978 ; " Dela-
ware, 2,386; Virginia, 26,678; North
Carolina, 7,263 ; South Carolina, 6,417 ;
Georgia, 2,676. Thus the four New En-
gland States furnished 118,251, or, more
than one half of the whole number ; while
43,037 only were furnished by the four
Southern States which have now seceded.
Also, take from the history of the revo-
lutionary .period such New England
names as Franklin, Hancock, Jonathan
Trumbull, and the two Adumsea among
the civilians, and those of Putnam, Knox
Lincoln, Stark, Sullivan, and Green,
among the Generals of the American ur-
my; and those of Hopkins, Whipple,
Talbot, Tucker, Watt, and Nicholson,
among the naval commanders, and it
would be more than the fame of our com-
mon country could afford to lose. The
same may be said of our little Federal
navy in our last war with Great Britain,
by which our national rights and Our na-
tional honor were so successfully vindica-
ted OII the high seas in that memorable
combat. It was principally manned
from New England. Also, take the New
England element out of the present navy
in this war for the suppression of this
great rebellion, and its power and efficien-
cy would be mostly gone. Of the 40,-
000 men now in our navy, it is estimated
that 20,000 are from New England alone.
The contributions of New England to
the literature of the country have been
equally important. Take the New En-
gland element out of this common litera-
ture, and there would not be enough left
to elevate it above the contempt of aa-
tions. What would be American litera-
ture Without such names as Edward:
Hopkins, Dwight, Emmons, Stuart, and
Channiug, among the theologians; of
Upham, Sillimnn, and Wayland, among
scientific writers ; 'of Prescott, Bancroft,
Hildreth, Motley,'and Governor Arnold,
among the historians; of Whittier, Bry-
ant, and Longfellow, among the poets ;
of Hawthorne and H. B. Stowe, among
the novelists ; and not mentioning at all
the host of periodical writers, and some
of which are as able and as eminent as
some of these ; I must mention last,
though not least, the two great English
lexicographers, Webster and Worcester:
also of preachers, orators, and educators
New England has furnished more than
her share. Take the New England men
out of the schools outside of New En-
gland, and many would be compelled to
close their doors for the want (if working
power. Strike, also, the history of old
Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Dartmouth,
from the educational record of the United
States, and the story of the remainder is
soon told.

How we GET ON WITHOUT COTTON.—
We are indebted to the Rev. Mr. Wood
minister at large in Lowell, for a copy of
his eighteenth annual report. It makes
the significant statement that While the
families of operatives in Lancashire and
other mill districts in England are in a
starving condition, there has been in Low-
ell, the largest cotton manufacturing city
on the continent, even less demand than
common for the exercise of charity. This
is accounted for, inrpurt, by the fact. that
a considerable number of female opera-
tives, when the mills closed, returned to
their homes in the country, carrying with
them the means of subsistencecarued and
saved, or leaving behind their earnings
dep0sited in the savings banks. The war
moreover, has given employment to a
large number of male Operatives, whose
monthly pay, together with the work
found in the preparation of clothing for
the army, has furnished the necessaries of
life to hundreds of the resident popula-
tion. The amount deposited in the diffe-
rcut savings banks in Lowell is rather
more than $3,200,000, exceeding this
year by many thousands the deposits of
previous years. [New Bedford Mercury.
