that a democratic success wofild b‘o fa.
vorable to their cause, and that tlese
assurances have given life ahd encrur-
agement to the rebellion for many mou :hs
past, is no longer questioned. It is tide,‘
also, that the same revolutionary and
destructive elements {which} culminmed
. in the great Southern Rebellion, are new
' at work in our midst, and if allowed to
make sufficient headway, will produce be
same results. Bad men are not we ut-
ing, who openly assert their treasona ble
designs in the event of President Lln-
coln’s election: and yet they are the
very men who complain that they are
restricted in “ freedom of speech.” Met-e
consciousness of strength is all that Will
be needed to consumate their plans and
produce an "open revolt when . the oppor-
tune moment arrives.
Eminent statesman have pointed to
~ this element as. the hidden rock upon
which our American System would final-
ly be broken ; and there is _ little doabt
remivining’intthe" minds of "the most care-
fnl- and intelligent observers, that the
next sixty days will decide forever the
fate of a free Government in the United
States: .- ',
No-good citizen who desires that law
and order should prevail over anarchy
and‘rebellion can afford tobe idle now.
Should President'Liucoln be defeated at
the 3Comingfelectiou, the rebellion becomes
apracticla success. Jefferson Dam and
his associates struck against a CODSIlhu-
tionally elected President, declaring that
, theyiwould never "submit to his adminis-
p
tuition-of. the government. For four
years,..v"Iith varying success, they have
prosecuted a most diabolical and cruel
war, covering the land with blood and
- tears, seeking to destroy a government
which they have only known by the lies,
sings it has conferred upon them.
Crippled "by repeated losses on sea and
land, their strongholds wrested from tnem
they. have but one last hope of success,
l and that is now being engineered through
" the peace .democracy at the north.—
Elect McClellan and Jeff. Davis has
triumphed ! Elect McClellan and you
will have struck the key note for a Wes-
tern Confederacy, by establishing a pre-
cedent, which men like Vallandigham,
5 Long, Cox, Harris, Voorhees and PEN-
‘2 Damon will not be slow to follow. .- But
. on the other hand, re-elect President
1' Lincoln, and continue to fight treason
-. until the lastarmed rebel shall have sub-
mitted to the laws of the land, and you
' will: have established the Free Govern-
ment of America upon a foundation which
can never be shaken, and against which
no man or party will ever again rebel !
.-. Theseare the true issues and the prac-
tical questions youare called upon to de-
cide. . This great contest of the ages is
not for individuals or party aggrandize—
ment. It matters nothing to us or our
posterity who is made president, so be it
he preserves the Union and establishes
for all time the .perpetuity of the govern—
ment. Not a government so weak that
it cannot protect itself from foreign or
domestic fees; not a government which
can bemade the report of politicians ; not
a; government which has neither power
torcward virtue or punish crime; not a
government which cannot “ coerce” those
who rise against it, but a government
whose majesty and power must not only
be felt and seen, but respected and obeyed
",2. -.-—a government which, like a sleepless
Z, sentinel upon the watch towers of liberty,
. gives "security to property, freedom to
the oppressed, and the right of “life, 1ib~
erty and the pursuit of happiness” to the
coming and going of this and future gen—
erations.
Such a government was bequeathed to
you by Washington, and sealed with the
blood of your fathers ;‘ will you protect
the preciouslegacy or yield it up forever
to the minions of despotism and slavery?
Will you surrender the historic glories of
the revolution and blot out forever the
golden legends of the past? or will you
resolveto speak and act as becomes FREE
MEN who are determined to shake off at
once and forever, the shackles of despot-

Shame, eternal shame, if the blood of
our-brave soldiers has been spilled in
vain, because you sacrificed at the ballot
box the victories they have won in the

I‘say, when the South shall ask for peace
then it will be time for them to get it.
Never let the North say peace ; but
when the South asks for peace, let us be
merciful: I would rather seethe old flag

IN THE FIELD 6 MILES FROM RICH-
MOND, Oct. 7th, 1864. i
J OIIN J. DAVENPORT, a half-way Norwalk
boy, is Gen. Butler’s Provost Marshal, as well
as private Secretary. Beneath his capacious
and ever hospitable tent I sit me here to
write, less than two leagues from Richmond
and in'full, unobstructed view from our sig-
nal tower. As I write at one one end of the
table, the keen provost is examining a long
line of witnesses, one by one, and all fresh
from the doomed citadel of the Confederacy
and its defensive trenches. Ever and anon a
booming shell, from the river batteries about
a mile to our left, and a screeching shot
from our own or the rebel gunboats lazily
floating at anchor, less than two miles above
us, wake the echoes of the woods and the
river. Did the enemy know how quietly the
“Beast” sits smoking his segar, dictating de-
spatches, replying to orderlies througing his
tent, &c., and within what easy range of
their guns, how it would “stir the mirth of
devils” to let a shell or two drop in his front
door yard just by way of “stirring up” the
redoubtablc and plucky radical General.
But these “friends” of the ' Copperhead dc-
mocracy evidently don’t know the range, and
no more notice is taken of their waste of
shobpowdcr and shell, than the pop of the
tiniest boy’s elder gun. But the “examina-
tions” of these streams of dcserters and refu-
pelled to listen to their recitals, of course my
mind is specially awakened to their tales of
woe and misery.
credit to the palmiest days of New England
orthodoxy, and the Saybrook platforms.
All this is necessary, to separate the wheat
from the now and then exceptional chafi'.
ISo’thorough and accurate is the Provost’s
knowledge of every Corps,-Divisions,' Bri-
gades and regiment, that no one can willful-
ly mislead or deceive him. The names Of all
rebcl ofiiccrs down to Captain, now in and
around Richmond, is here known and regis-
tered. So that as soon as a luau steps inside
for examination and names the Regiment
and letter of his company, he is at once an-
ticipated with his Colonel’s and Captains
name. But of all the sad tales of terrors, de-
privation and suffering Ihave ever read or
listened to, those that have greeted my ears
within this tent, during the last 48 hours
beggar them all. I will not attempt a reci-
tal but of a few, because they stagger belief,
and did not one after another, day after day
repeat the same stories I could but‘feel that
they were exaggerations. Said one intelli-
gent man, there was never such a reign of
terror in Richmond before. He had, seen
-“scarcs” and “panics” and all that, but noth-
ing that equalled their present desperatiOn
and despair. Time after time he had seen
'sick men, aged and infirm men, boys of ten
years and younger, with hands tied behind
them driven out into the trenches since But-
ler carried their outer and strongest line of
defence. Soldiers had been swept out upon
crutches, with one arm and one leg, sick and '
in the shape of a man able to turn over on
"his belly and load and fire had been driven at
the point of the bayonet by the fire patrol, to"
the trenches.” Andlbc same dccriptions of
horror are confirmed by all. The richest.
aristocrat and tiniest led, and -lhc most dc-
to save his life. It was all of the same pat-
tern. This was the class Ofdcfendcrs in front
of Butler, with only veteran’s enough to
force them to duty and endeavor. to prevent
their escape. One of these dcsertcrs, was
mentioning the names of the Merchant prin-
"ccs, the Banker‘s, Clcrgymen &c., who had-
been forced in, among others repeated the
“name of Wm. B. Isaacs, once of Norwalk,
the wealthiest broker in Richmond, he said,
who was inns a private with a dirty grey
,forccd evidence of the secession faith he had
from the beginning. loudly professed.
Many were asked where the poor get
food. The reply was universally that till
lately the government had Issued very light
rations to those unable to purchase, “but

WThe result of the Town Elections
throughout the State, has been mast gratify-
ing,and strongly foreshadows the result in
November: Of one hundred and fory-five
towns heard from, eighty-four went Union,
and sixty-one opposition. The Unionists
gain nine towns, the opposition three.
Among thetowns gained by the Unionists
are the Old democratic strongholds of Bark-
,hampstead and Portland. In this vicinity,
Stamford, Darieu, New Canaan and Nor-

scene is distinct the. subject is continuous,
and embraces the eventful incidents in the

and hurled on the cavalry of Kautz, pro-

this onset was the forcing back of the

CONNECTICUT BRANCH OF THE U. S
CHRISTIAN CoumssIoN.-I—At a meeting
of the committee forming this branch,
held, in New. Haven, Oct. 4th, 1864, it
was “ Voted, that theRev. Henry Pow-
ers be, and be hereby is, appointed cor-
responding secretury of the "commission
for the State of Connecticut."- - ,
Mr. Powers is expected to fill the
place recently vacated by the Rev. E.
D. Murphy, and‘to'be engaged this fall"
and winter in promoting the work of the
commission throughout the State. He
has Opened an ofiiceat No. 87 »Asylum
street, Hartford ; (in the building occu-
pied by the Ladies Soldiers’ Aid Society)
which will henceforth be the headqunr
ters of the Commission for Connecticut,»
and the place to which all stores may be
sent. ' Also all letters pertaining to tiny"
part of the commission’s work should be,
addressed to Mr. Powers. ’ ‘
It is to beIhOped that the friends of
the us. C. C.'will see the necessity of
before, for the bodily comfort and the
mentala’nd spiritual well-being of our‘
brave soldiers and sailors. Since the 1st
’ of May dast, Connecticut has contributed
nothing of‘large sums which bavefbecn
sent directly to New York or Philadel-
phia ; yet the fact must be. borne in mind
that our forces have recently been largey
ly-ihcrcased on land and sea ; that" the
numbers of the sick, the wounded, and
'the": dying, are multiplying every day 5
that the winter is to be spent in ‘ part,
at least, in active field operationsg'und
that the enhanced cost of all army sup-
plies has diminished materially contribu-
‘tions of stores to both the Sanitary and
Ithe Christian Commissions. There is
therefore nothing left for a loyal people
‘to do but to increase in equal who their
giving and their working, To this We
well as of justice and love of country.

" The question now before the people

of Mr. Lincoln or General McClellan for
the presidency. Admit that neither or
either is of himself the best man for the
place. What then ? One must be elec—

In still more important to the men and
their afilialiou by whom each will be sur—
rounded, and controlled in fact, and by
whom his administration will be shaped
in the event of‘ election.
Can it be that any true man, especial—
ly any Andrew Jackson .lcmocrat, can
desire this government put into the hands
of the Messrs. Vallandigham, Woods,
Seymours, Pendleton, Long, Harris,
Voorhees, and their surroundings, north
and south 7 Let us see what their plat—
form and their candidates mean ; 'The
war is to be carried on or it is not; if
not, then Ia disgraceful and dishonorable
peace, "which will be no peace, and which
no true man wants, is to be the result.
Or, if carried on, then, both platform and
candidates are pledged to the disband-
ment of 200,000 colored men, now doing
duty as soldiers or serving the army,
their places to be supplied either by vol—
unteers, at an expense of hundreds of
millions in bountics, or by a draft, which
is the great ground of complaint by the
opponents of the government.
" Nay, more, if either the Chicago
platform or McClellan’s acceptance means
anything,these ncgroes are to be returned
to their masters, to fight or labor on the
"other side. Does any one doubt, if re—
turned to their masters, they would be at
once sent into the rebel lines, where
alone such property has any real ' value ?
Upon the theory of the Chicago platform
and McClellan’s ‘constutional rights of
states} I think it would ‘exhault the
resources of statesmauship’ to show why
these men should not be returned to their
former masters, as. indeed was the prac——
tics in Gen. McClellan’s army.

TO THE EDITOR on THE STANDARD:
I SIR—As certain personshave deemed it
prOper to circulate the report that the under-
signed was in favor of the election of McClel-
lan to the Presidency, I have concluded to
solicit the privilege, through your columns,
of giving my reasons for voting against him,
and in favor of the re-clection of Abraham
Lincoln.
I have been a member. of the Republican
party since its organization. Ihave known
no departure from its principles, and no re-
.- treats from its nominations. If I had good
and sufficientreaSons for being a Republican
heretofore, then I have ten times as good
reasons now.
I believe that this administration has had
more business on its hands than all the other
administrations of the government combin-
ed; and although it may have made some
mistakes I do not think that we could have
had anadministration that would have done
better under the circumstances.
If I firmly believed that the Chicago plat-
form was what it ought to be, and that the
supporters of McClellan, together with his
associate on the ticket, were thoroughly loy-
al, still in view of the present gigantic war,
I should deem it suicidal policy toplace in
this crisis, at the head of the overnment, a
set of new and untried men. . en the sea
is smooth and fair, and prosperous breezes
arc beariu g onward the ship of State, achange
of commanders may do no injury; but when
the hurricane arises, he who would dispos-
scs the trusty Captain and crew of:_ the
charge of the vessel, and put in their places
a set of untried men, from the passengers on
board, would be a fool and amadman.
Most Respectfully, "

The Second Annual
numbering about 120 representatives of the .
Report 1‘
the Soldiers’ Aid Society of
Norwalk.
The second year of the Soldiers’ Aid So-
ciety of Norwalk having closed, it is due to
its generous donors and its active members
that a report of its operations and the work
accomplished should be submitted to them.
The work done has been substantially of the
same character as last year. Notwithstand-
ing the greatly increased cost of materials,
and the fact that our active members are not
numerous, much has been done. Our work
has been sent to the Sanitary Commission as
channel by which our ' sick and wounded
soldiers could be supplied. Our expendi-
tures have all been made for materials, and
in addition to that, assistance has been ren-
dered by the Commission by furnishing
some materials at half price.
The Society has received during the year
from the liberal and patriotic citizens of the-
town, upon whom it has relied, and must
continue to rely, for the necessary funds, the
sum of $516.45, and has expended the sum
of $508.09, leaving cash on hand $8.36.
It is obvious that its labors must soon ter-
minate unless additional funds are furnished,
and while in behalf of the suffering soldier
our cordial thanks are due to all who have
esteemed it a privilege and duty to contrib-
ute in money or labor to sustain and assist
the Society, we must continue to appeal to
them and to all, to aid us in our work. .
The Society has made up and forwarded
the following articles, viz: 206 sheets, 284
cotton shirts, 103 flannel shirts, 76 cotton
drawers, 44 flannel drawers, 12 pair socks,
67 pair slippers, 102 haudkerchiefs, 36 rolls
bandages, a quantity of old cotton, making
in all 930 garments.
We have also received and forwarded the
following articles: 6 jars pickles, 6 papers
. corn starch, 6 papers farina, 6 papers maize-
na, 2 jars dried currants, 2 bags dried ap-
ples 1 bag dried blackberries, 17 lbs. jelly,
and 2 boxes guava jelly. .

For the Gazette.
Massns. Eorrons: In the last number of
your paper, is a brief notice of the “First An
nual Report" of the Hon. Isaac Newton,
Commissioner of the Department of Agri-
culture, in Washington, D. ,C. The Report
referred to contains many interesting and
valuable articles, but it has one the subject of
which is so highly important to the com-
munity at large, that I cannot withstand the
temptation to send you an extract and ask
you to give your many readers the benefit of
its perusal in your useful paper. It is on the
“Condition and prospects of Sheep Husband-
ry.” The facts communicated are highly
important, and the present seems to‘ be a very
proper time to give them to public.
The last Legislature of the State of Con-
necticut greatly improved the then existing
laws forthe “Protection of Sheep Culture,”
and preventing the destruction of sheep by
dogs, by increasing their stringency, and giv
ing new power-g to the towné. .
It now remains for the Selectmen and As-
sessors of each town to faithfully enforce the
law. The Selectmen should offer, and
promptly pay the bounty authorized to be
paid, for the killing of all dogs liable to be
killed; and the Assessors, now they are
about entering on the duties of looking up
and assessing all taxable property in their
respective towns, should make it their spec'-
ial business to see that no taxable. dog es-
capes their notice, but be properly entered,
at the prescribed rates.
If the authorities of the several towns in
the, State will look to the rigid enforcement
of the present dog law, the writer is confi-
dent before the lapse of many years, “worth-
less curs" will be scarce, and mutton and
wool comparatively plenty.
The extract is as fol] )ws :
“RAVAGES on DocséWhile changing im-
posts, new and asorbing pursuits in agricul-
ture, the Openinqup of new farms, the de-
"velopment of one branch or another of our
enormous resources, have continuously, as
in turn, withdrawn attention from sheep.
farming, there has been another great draw-
back to the business. The statistics of Ohio
for 1855 show a loss of $109,661 in sheep
killed, and $37,097 in sheep injured by dogs;
aggregate of $146, 759. Other years have
shown lighter losses, last year the loss was
heavy again. ,
“Taking the average for Ohio, and cal;
culating upon the census returns of 1860, the
entire loss to the United States, would be
nearly $1,000,000 per annum. This loss,
having had its influence in'witlrdrawiug Cap-
ital from wool-growing, is exciting attention
among farmers and agricultural periodicals,
causing discussion in legislatiVe halls, and
eliciting practical acumen and legal lore in
drafting dog laws. _ . 3
“Laws should be passed, to Insure practi-
cally the extermination of w0rthless curs.
At present it is a race between sheep and
dogs, with a fair prospectdu Rhode Island
at least, where the dogs are a little ahead,
that the curs will exterminate the sheep.
New York has a dog law ; so has Massachu-
setts; and Ohio and other States, have legis-
lated on the subject. In each case some
goOd has resulted, but the cure is not radi-.
cal. If some red republican should arise
with decapitation for his war cry, and the
guillotine for his instrument, and rule for a
while as a‘ dictator of our sheepwalks, long
enough to show the results of his dynasty,
no whining poodle would evegbe able again
“to pull the wool over the eyes ' of commiser-I
stringent laws, such as will be practical and
efficient, will speedily be enacted and ‘et-
forced in all the States, and thus obviate the
almost scandalous acknowledgement, such
asis made in the Ohio Agricultural report,
that in twenty two counticsin Ohio, having
811,868 sheep in 1846, there were but 505,226
in 1856—a decreaseof more than 300,000,
due entirely to the ravages of dogs and causal.
