The Ballot and the Bullet.
' The ringing order from the Army of the
'* Potomac, promulgated on Saturday, sending
out all persons whatsoever not connected
therewith, and hurrying to the rear all sur-
plus baggage and stores, is but the prelude
. to action and a vigorous opening of the
‘. 3
Spring campaign of 1804. The great Chief-
tain, who has never yet been defeated in a
'~ single bqttle, having united his fortunes with
‘0 this noble band of heroes, and lent it all the
inspirations of his own brilliant genius, now
orders the decks to be cleared and the guns
to be got ready, as we believe, for one of the
most portentious struggles we have yet
i waged with the revolted foes of the Govern-
. _ led moi
' bravery. It really looks as if one more pri“
. ment. We are rapidly approaching the great
crisis, when, as we firmly believe and de-
' voutiy pray, such a stunning blow is to be
dealt this unnatural treason as will send it
staggering to its full and complete overthrow.
And our brave men in the ranks, will march
forward with steadier step and more eager
pace for the great and overwhelming ex-
pressions of the popular heart made at the
Ballot Boxes at home. NO one, not familiar
‘ with the sensitive jealousy with which the
soldier watches every expression of senti-
ment, of hope, discouragement, or approval,
from the friends left behind, can adequately
judge the strength and power with which
the results Of our recent elections will in-
spire our armies. Yet it is a fact that every
patriot hand in old New Hampshire, that
dropped a Union Ballot in the box; and ev-
ery man in Connecticut who firmly stood for
his government on Monday last; and every
sturdy son of Rhode Island, who swelled the
notes of Union victory in that gallant little
State; and every Liberty voter in thrice glo-
rious Maryland, who helped sweep that
, Slavery and treason accursed State, as with
a deluging flood of Freedom for all—each
and every such man has done his part to
nerve his brother in the field for the fierce
impending struggle. And as these great
swells of the popular verdict shall sweep
the armies, inspiring the men with new zeal
And devotion to the cause, they in turn will
send back to the People, from the blood-
stained field, the Anthems of Victory. And
you, Union-loving men of Connecticut, who
have so proudly stood by your sons and
brothers in the field, faint not, but be pre-
pared for even prouder majorities in the
great contest upon which we are almost im-
mediately to enter. To the Union men of
Fairfleld County all praise is due. Never
did we stand out in more enviable relief-—
Never were our majorities more richly de-
served or more nobly won. On all sides of
us, and on every hand, our friends challenge
our heartiest praise.

Those Charades,
Which were advertised and commended
in advance, at Ely’s Hall, have proved, as we
expected, a success. The conception was
original, the costumes were very tasteful and
highly appropriate, and the action 01 the
performers exceeded all expectation. The
music, given gratuitously, by the Amateur
Band of South Norwalk, was admirable,
whilst the singing, by the Glee Club, and by
Misses Elwell and Sears, was of the very
highest order of artistic performance.
If a full house on both evenings, the pa-
tient sitting of men,women and children for
three hours, without the least sign of unea-
siness, the repeated and enthusiastic rounds
of applause, and,above all, the cash receipts,
are any proof of the popular sentiment,
then are we warranted in pronouncing the
South Norwalk Charadea A nncman suc-
case.

is the title of a speech recently delivered
in the House of Representatives by the
Hon. Isaac N. Arnold of Chicago, which
is being extensively circulated through
the North. It is one of a series of
speeches made by Mr. Arnold in behalf
of the immediate extermination of Slave

jtst returned.
” We destroyed the pontoon bridge at
LOngview, burned a train of 35 wagons
loaded with camp and garrison equip
ments,ammunition. quartermaster’s stores,
&c.,and captured 320 prisoners. Engaged
in battle yesterday morning Gen. Dock-
ingham’s division of 12,000 men from
Monticello, routed and pursu ed him ten
miles, with a loss of over 100 killed and
wounded. We captured a quantity of.
small arms, two stands of colors, many
wagons, and over 300 horses and mules.
”Our loss will not exceed 15 killed,
wounded and missing. We brought in
several hundred contrabands. The ex-

The Consensus RiO‘i‘ In ILLINOIS Eu-
DED.-—The Springfield, ("1.) State Jour-
nal of April ist, says ; ‘
“ A letter from our special correspon-
dent ut Mattoon, gives a very clear
statement of the situation in that quarter
up to three o’clock yesterday. At that
time all was reported quiet. There is
evidence that the rebels have become
frightened and have dispersed. We can-
not but regret that they did-not keep
together long enough to enable the troops
to capture a goodly number of them, who
should have been make example oi.
" It is hoped that the malignant cop-
herheads of. Eastern Illinois have learned
a lesson from this affair. Justice will
not be done, however until the traitoro'
ous O’Hairs and their associates are in
the cluches of the authorities, and in a
fair way of punishment. Certainly, the
exhibition of copperhead designs and the
results of copperheud tent-hing, cannot
fail to have taught the people Of Illinois
a most instructive lesson.”
Thirty-fog; of the rioters are in con-
finement at Mattoon, awaiting trial.

' This able and unswerving supporter of the
Union, is again elected to the Legislature
from the town Of Farmington, which he has
faithfully represented for three years past.
A fine speaker, skilled in debate, we are
glad the State is to have his services still fur.
ther in a public position. From his long
connection with the House, giving him per-
fect familiarity with its rules, be is better
qualified, perhaps, than any other member
for the position of Speaker, to which we
hope to see him elected by the united votes
of the Union Representatives.
Ha'rtford Courartt.
Mr. Rice was rrominently mentioned in
connection with the Speakership last year,
but he gracefully withdrew in favor of
Cleveland. He is an experi-
enced, clear headed. and deliberate parli-
mentariun, and would preside over the
House of Representatives with dignity,
urbanity, an: impartiality. It would be
gratifying to his old New Haven town<-
men to see him in the Speaker's chair.
Wife must fully and heartily endorse
all of the abovewhich we copy from the
New Haven Courier, and trust that he may
be the next Speaker, ' '

there was very little ice, and it sold at
enormous rates. The ice companies of

The New "Legislature.
We find with much gratification that
the newly r-lcctcd Legislature, while it is
i strong in principlcs is also strong in lnlcm
5 Wcfio not «collect any since 1820 that
lluspossessul a larger array of men of
ability. In the Senate we have Cowlcs
of Farmingtou, Adams
Chadwick of Old Lyme, Giddings of
Plymouth, old and expert lcgislators and
are able lawyers, while the younger por-
tion of the Bar is strongly represented by '
Sanford of New Haven, and Crandall of
Brooklyn. With such a legal force it
will be strange if our laws are not prop-
erly framed and the important interests
of the State judiciously guarded. For
practical business talent, the Senate is
fortunate in the possession of Townsend
of East Haven, Plant of Sonthington,
Harris of New London, Morgan of stam-
ford, Taylor of Danbury, Simmons of
Ashford, Hodge of Colebrook, Allen of
Old SaybrOOk, Hotcbkiss of Sharon.
These gentlemen are known personally or
by reputation as clear headed, v. ell in-
formed, practical and gO-ahead men, and
we presume the other senators are gen.
tlemen of equal fitness. Of the three
Democratic members, Ex Gov. Kendrick
is a gentleman of much practical experi-
rience, and has been highly honored by
the party he is now sent to Oppose. His
recent career has been caused by false
a-IOciations and perhaps disappointments,
but he is a man of gentlemauly bearing,
and will not, We are sure, be unpleasant
company to the majority. Prof. Fowler
of Durham, is a scholar of some preten-
slon, and has been some while mingled
with the world in business matters. His
monomania is the slavery question, and
he may bore the Senate with his abstract
notions on that subject, but be is said to
be a genial companion and a-worthy man.
[he other Democrat, Mr. Bennett of
Huntington, is said to be one ol the una-
dulterated copperheads, who lacks the
tact to refrain from being disagreeably
obtrusive when he can accomplish no
purpose for himself or his party.
In the election of members of the
House, the Union party had the good
fortune to defeat most of the strong men
the cOpperheads put in nomination. 1 Ea-
ton of Hartford, ingersoll and Doolittle
of New Haven, Turtle of North Haven,
the eSpecial representatives of disloyalty,
are all rejected by the people, and the
leadership ofthat party falls into the
quasi. disloyal hands of Chapman of Hart-
lord, Munson of Seymour, and Merrills
of Sonthington. We see no other names
of recognised Democratic oracles or man-
agers in the list of members elect, except
Brown of Windsor Locks, Beecher of
Bethlehem, Converse of Franklin, and
Leavenworth of Waterbury, who are
practical workers and shrewd party men.
The Union side, DOWthI',lS strong in
speaking talent and practical ability.—
The lawyers abound, and among them
are some of the rising young men who
are hereafter to lead the State. Among
the members of the Bar, we recognise
Platt of Meriden. Watrons of New Ha-
ven, Ives of East Haven, Welch of
Hartford, Rice of Farmington, Pitkin of
East Hartford, Briscoc of Elifitld, Hall
of Marlboro, Wesseils of Weathersfield,
Coit of New London. Pratt of Norwich,
Day of Colcbester, Morris of Br'dgeport,
Booth of Dunbury, and Peck of Norfolk;
This is a pretty strong as well as long
list of lawyers. Besides these, we have
such sterling men as D. W. Plumb of
Derby, David Gallup of Plainfield, Sher-
.wood St ' ‘ g of Fail-field, Samuel N.
Reid of Sufi'leld, George Rose of North
Brxtnford, D.S. Ruddock of New London,
John A. Starry of Norwich, Capt. Far-
ren of New Haven, John F. Trumbull of-
Stonington, Cummings of Darien, Hoyt
of Stamford, Street of N orwalk. Seth
Thomas of Plymouth, Boardman of East
Huddam, Doane of Essex, and Bolton of
Stafi'ord. By such men our State is
fairly and strongly represented, and we
eXpect good results from their legislation.
If they emit will be for want of concert of
action and too, great exhibition of individ'.
cal independence of opinion. We believe
in the Idea Of Caucus management and
party leadershsp. We do not mean a
slavish adherenge to the bebests of an
arbitrary party edict,but the harmonizing
of differences and varieties of opinion in
caucus rather than aimless discussion in
the Legislative halls in presence of a
vigilant enemy, who has nothing to do
but to endeavor to divide and embarrass
the majority and protract the session of
the Legislature. ' ‘
The Speakership will go probably eith—
er to Mr Ilia-c of Farmington, Piatt of
Meriden, or Perry of Fulrfield. The
first named gentleman has been formally
named by Hartford county. The others
have been spoken of. but ue know nothing
of the view of their friends.
It is a noticeable fact that two or three
«four large cities are fortunate enough
to have secured a representation of their
bu~ines~r interests larger than the Consti-
tu'iou allows to tluir municipality. Thus,
New Haven has three Senators, Messrs.
Sanford of the 4th, Plant 'of the list, and
Townsend of the 6th, and three Repre
SClllfllth'S. Messrs. Furren and Watrous
of New Haven, and Ives ofEust Haven,
all doing business in this city. Hartford,
besides her two represented, has Messrs.
Hall of Mulboro, and Pilkin of Eust
Hartford. Norwich his Senators Adams
and Gallup, and R'pltfiSClltfi'lVCS Con-
verse of Franklin, besides its Own two,
and Bridgeport bus Mr. Sterling Of Fair-
field to aid its own delegate. Col Morris.
