3 WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.

DEAR GAzETTE: ,
3 3 The historic waters Of the

_3 James are now being lashed and laved by
‘1 "tliouilands of Uncle Sam‘s “ web-footed”
. :family—flying like a weaver’s shuttle up

I and Aiken’s Landing.

and dOWn from Fort Monroe to City Point
On one of these it
was my fortune to accompanyr a party of
Connecticut Commissioner; on Friday last.
. Among the number was an earnest—and I
' have no doubt-honest—McClellan man from

Norwalk. Our voyage from Baltimore on

. . the Bay steamers, and thence per special boat

. . it bore my companions.

3.to City Point, was full of the deepest interest

2 to my friendsand exceedingly pleasant to me,
; though lacking the zest and novelty which

I detail thus cir-
. cumstantially merely to introduce the other
fact, which travelling the route alone and

‘ unattended, as I have sO often done, had
3 never before impressed me until brought to

dwell upon the matter by the impression

3 , made upon my more recent army traveliing

' 3O0mpanions—and that is the enormousrmag-

3 allude of this war and all its applianc es—as
well as the unbounded power and'resources of
the American Dillon, assailed as it has been
for the last three years of dire and savage re-
bellion! No man,I care not how vivid his
imagination or how extensive his reading,
can form any adequate conception of the ac-
tual requirements and detail, which enter
into the necessities of such a state of war. 1
know how the War Department is bu rthen~
ed by importunities from curiosity hunters

' and idlcrs, as well as worthy and sorrowing
ones, for passes to visit the army; and yet,
when we remember that such a sight is the

seeing of centuries, much may be pardoned
to a patriotic people if they wish to bring
the faces Of the bloody lens to their very
eyes. The mere matter of feeding 100,000

men is an enormous operation. Conjecture it

ye who“ can’t keep a hotel.” Then think of
the ammunition, the transportation, the
clothing, and the hospital provisions and sup-
plies, tO say nothing of the thousand and one
little etceteras of camp necessity, and you
are whelmed in the abyss of movement and
supply. But our commissioners had even a
, tnobler and a grander mission than seeing
these matters of enormous magnitude. It

- , was the sublime duty of receiving from m en

erect in Federal Blue, with muskets at the
side, defending the ark Of the union cove-
nant at the cannon’s mouth,—to receive from

' these men the patriots and freoman’s ballot!

Sublime spectacle! scene of moral grandeur
transcending all the laurel crowus of victory!
, And you McClellan prater, who went delib-
er’atelyto the polls only a few weeks past
and voted a mean and dastardly “ No,” on
gratifying these men the privilege of carry-
- ing their invaluable rights with them wherev-
er they carrled the starry flag of our nation-
ality,—-how you would have slunk away and

' been abashed could you have been present

, at, the soldier-8’ eating ! In the camp, in the
trench, behind the earth-work, and on outer
picket, as they, passed over the little piece of

. . 'papél'. whiCh possibly was to be the last civil

act of citizenship of their lives,-—-how your
. heart would have sunk under the rebuke of _

this soldiers’ voting scene! Ah, my friends,

is not that an unworthy cause, that dare not
entrust its fate to men who defend their love
Of Liberty and equality with their lives 1'
Any man who has a conscience, and who
loves his country, may safely be trusted in
-'the approaching contest: without lecture or
proselyting; and I feel for one entirely will-
ing to rest the case with the jury—that jury.
to be none other than the liberty-loving, free
and independent American people. B.

in all probability the Society will during the

Public Meetings.

The N ational Union Club held a rousing
meeting at Lockwood’s Hall, ,on Tuesday
evening last. The Hall was crowded to the
utmost, and hundreds were unable to obtain
seats. Col. W; E. Grosvener, of New Haven,
made a most eloquent and efiective speech
andwas listened to with great attention. We
have seldom heard a more telling speech.

last accounts was getting better. During his

sickness he was patiently attended by the

merly an East India captain) who was a,

a member Of the church in Philadelphia, Of
which Rev. Dr. Wm. C. Mead was then pas-

tor. During the raging of the fever asevere'

leans and at last advices it was thought the

fever was abating.

At the charter election in Norwalk, yester-
day, the Democrats elected their entire ticket!

 

At the April election Norwalk gave 025 ,

Republican majority !

SO it goes—Hartford Times

Allem! a prodigiously big thing! That
settles the question-éMcCle‘llan will surely
be elected, if the people throughout the Un-
ion only hear the result of our Borough elec-
tion. But thereis one thing the Times for-
gets tO mention, viz: that in this very elec-'
tion the unionists made a gain of 148 Over last
year. How do you like that Mr. Hines]:—
But it is true, and so it goes ! The Times also
makes a slight mistake in figures; our ma-
jority last April was 225 instead of 325.. The
'result, of the October town election was an
average union majority of226,but we propose
to make your figures (325) small enough in
November, Mr. Home. - . 3 . . .

relieve the lOteron‘n. . Regiment, since
which time the men have had all they
could attend to, in the way of picket,

march more miles in less time than any
other regiment in this department, he

As'I have before remarked, the" duty
comes pretty hardou the boys, on ac-
count of the smallness of the Regiment
at this time. . Companies E, G,and D,
garrison Fort Marion, at the upper end
of the city, while Cos F, and H, are
quartered at the U. S. Barracks, at the
lowcr end of the city. Details are made:
from each for picket, camp and provost
guard duty ; they also drill on the artil:
lery every day. The companies in St.

Lieut. Col. Wilcoxson, and who is ‘in
temporary command 'of the "Post. Col.
Noble is absent on duty at Magnolia;
being in command of the forces nt"that
place. Four other companies of the 17th

A. 0.1..andK. under the: command of
Major Henry Alienpa, very, fineyoung
officer, and who] is esteemed and respected
by everyone in the Regiment, and ‘who

wantsof the boys under him. I wish I
could say with 'the old Razor Strop man,
:‘fth’cre is a few more Of the same sort

, Picolata is about 18 miles west frOm St.
Augustine, and situated, what is left of
it, on the St. John’s river, and about 40
miles frOm Jaék'sOn'ville. The companies
I speak of. were sent here some seven
weeks ago, to "do picket duty along the
river, and hold the place, while four oth.
er companies vvhich had left St; Augus-
tine under Liet. Col. Wilcoxson, went to
Jacksonville to join some other forces to
go on a raid to Baldwin, upon the line of
the railroad to Jacksonville. All the
forces were in command of Col. Noble, of
the 17th Reg, 0. V., acting undcrorders
from Gen. Hatch, commander of this Dis-
trict. The'expcditiou did not meet with
muchopposition on the march ; but few
rebs were seen, and they left as soon as
the boys drew sight' on them along the
barrels of their Springfields. Almlt was
made at Baldwin; intrenchmeuts were
thrown up, in case of, emergency. The
troops staid about three weeks, when or.
ders came'that a further advent-e was to
be made towards J anesville, so Off they
sta’rted, and upon reaching a place called
Trail Ridge, some 15 miles from Bald-
win, Col. Harris. of the 70th Ohio, with
a portion ofllis regiment, who are mouu-_
ted, and a company of the 4th MQSS.CBV1
airy, were detachcd‘frOm the main' body-
and went upon a reconnoisance towards-
Gaiusvillc. They reached the village of
Stark without'uny interruption; and there
found some rn'iera'd ears and subsisteucm
stores which ”they destroyed ; their er.-
camped in the woods close tO’ Gainsville
This was on the 16 ~Next morning Col.
Harris discovered about 50 J ohnuies just
outside of the town ,; he ordered a charge,
driving them, and ‘still keeping ,up the
pursuit, till they'crossedtlle railroad the
other side Of the town. There his small.
force was- attacked by 'a- Targefor‘ce
Of robs, supposed to-number about 1500,,
who were ini a‘mbuscadc behind hillocks.
each side of the road. After a stubborn;
and well contested light for nearly two
hours,llC'ol. Harris .found his little band
had been flanked and surrounded, gave
the word for his men to charge and cut
their way through,'a'nd save themselves-
from being captured." ‘ ' The’Colonel and
about 100' of is=men’ made their‘escape.
The rest were taken prisoners. Most of
the 75th Ohio men‘ captured, had but-a
few days to serve, their time expiring on

Some persons who cannot be persuadedi to
vote for General McClellan, or rather fer the
doctrines of theplatform on which his frierds
says he stands, (though he ,says he don’t.)
are nevertheless disposedto Withhold their
votes from Mr. Lincoln, because they cannot
approve Of'all the measures of his adminis-
tration. If we - were at peace among our-
selves, aud the wheels Of government were
turning without friction, the question which
of these two men should occupy the peoples
house at Washington the 'next four years
would be of comparitively little importance.
Either of them might dwell there with wife
find children, and do no particular good ior

What

two mortal men represent thc'twO immortal
principles of right and wrong. A question
is pending which involves the life of the na-
tion. A rebellion has broken out and has
been raging for upwards of three years—ides-
Olating and destroying some Of the fairest
portions of the national domain and consum-
ing hundreds of thousands‘of precious lives.
~ The government of the country, to which
the people have committed its interests and
integrity, are striving to maintain its author:
ity and tobringthe insurgents to submission
It‘thcy do not succeed in this effort, the re-
bellion triumphs—the lawful government
is prostrated, and anarchy, with all its .in
conceivable evils, must ensue. .
At the most eventful crisis'in this struggle:
two parties appear. 3 One Of them favors the
most vigorous and thorough measures . to
suppress the insurrection, and compel the
authors and promoters of it to desist and
submit to the national authority. They will
have no parley, ‘no truce, no armistice,.no
“cessation of hostilities,” no convention of
the States, until arms are grOund’ed and the-
authority of the Federal government ac?
kuowledgcd as supreme. ' 3 ' ‘

measures.’ Some of its members Would
prosecute the war and some would not;
but as a party they would not invoi- “'coer:
cion.” They rather think’that terms“could
be made with the rebels if proper persons—
such as they could select—were sent totheln
Alittlecoaxig might hoof use,'and" at all
events they would stop fighting and sec.—

ity over them, , L 3' ' 3‘
Two men are before the people 3 as

“the representative's of ' these two parti '

Abraham Lincoln represents the first and
George B. McClellan the other. be they
are individually is of very little consequence.
Mr. Lincoln may be weak or wicked, a

‘knave or a fool, and General McClellanmay

be'u coward, a trimmer, a dupe,. or a 3 tool,

and the nation may outlive the election Of

either, as it hits ou'liivcd the election of weak
and _wicked~presidents already. But in vot-
lngfor the men we vote for the principles
they represent. The , language of ccvcry
vote cast for'Mr. Lincoln ill—sustain thc wov-
crnment, enforce the laws, put downbthe
insurrection, preserve the Union, let‘ the clo-
“0118 old flag Stream in the "wind wllile
there Is an American muscle to hold it up.
The language orevcl-y vote cast for General
McCleliau is-rro'humrc the government. sus-
pend tho coxilbct, deal gently 'wit'h the
rebels, avold coercion, restore peace though
rebellion triumphs,thc Union is disiolvcd

and the old flag dragglcs in southern mud. '
These are theis'sucs that the Nov. votes-
wull decrde, and no political logic of any
man or party can make them more or less.
SO they are understood at Richmond and
New York, in London and in Paris, by
both armies, and by the people. ' He who
withholds his vim- from Lincoln giYL‘S it in

Qualifications "ofElectora ~
Union State Central Committee,
3. Oflice, 650 Main-street?“
HARTFORD, On, Oct. 14, 1804.

In answer to many enquiries from dif
ferent parts of the State, Committees will
please observe the, following as to qualifi-
cation of Electors;

lst. Any man who has once been made
an elector of the State requires only a
residence of four months next:“prsc€ding
the day of election IN THE TOWN; Where he
claims the right to vote, no matter how
long he may have been residing out of
the State meanwhile. ‘

2d. NO one can be made an Elector
Of the State unless he shall have resided
IN THE STATE at leastonalyear; next pre-
ceding. aud IN THE TOWN six months next
preceding the time he may Offer himself,
and shall also sustain a goodzmoral char-
acter. The-fact that a man has previous-
ly lived in the State, or was born in 'tbe
State, does not avail, for the residence
must be a continuous one, and next prece-

 

 

3d. N 0 man can vote, for Presidential
Electors who cannot vote“- for Members
of Congress, the qualifications being~ iden-
tical, and subjcct tOlhe laws of the State
where he claims the right to vote.

4th. Any man who changes his resi-
dence by moving from one town to
another within'four mouths next prece-

. ding the day of,election,.,losesifiisimight to

vote entirely ; he can not vote in the
town .he moved from because he does not
reside there, and he cpn nuggets: in the
town'he mercilto, because he has not
had the required residence Of four maul/ls.

It is not correct (so far as the elective
franchise is concerned;) that an elector
can not lose his residence in one town
before he gains one in another. _
