Sef s..o. pxsis, addressed to the Congress" of the aCous.derate States" row assembled at Mont .omery. which caps the climax of all the past ..,suneesc of treason of its author, and will earl ,;,, . higher elevation than would have been .x.rded him before, when, by and by, his trait ,r,ss neck shall be stretched by hempen hal ter.
 Mr. Davis has undoubtedly got himself into a fir. The Lion which he fondly hoped would deep and wink over his treason and that of his eooSederated robbers, has been aroused, and he ..es already the "eye-balls glare" His efforts .. making the best of . bad case are simply as ius.resting and painful to observe, as ay's ef' s,-,, ,o release itself from the meshes of spi- a..,. ~,h in which he has become foolishly or ,.ss,...lv eutangled sna the nearer approach sf ,ae beginning of the end of his final extermi' ,.,;,,. renders his struggles more vivacious and .,,.,oa,.

The blockading of the ports is already causing fearful trouble among the block aaed, and the end is not yet.
 We venture to predict that in three months at he fsrthest, the United States Government will lave resumed undisputed sovereignty in all the present Sseceded'' states, the Confedesaey of thieves and rebels will finally be broken up, the chief rebels will have been hung by due course of lav, OF bs fagases from jnstce,. and the year sf cur Eod Is6l will have seen the termination @ the beginning of tic rattie-snake rebellion against the most righteous government that ex- ists upon the face of the earth.

At town meeting held last Thursday, of which Dr.. J. G. Beckwith was chairman and Geo. M.Woodruff clerk, the following resolutions were offered and adopted UNANIMOUSLY.
 WHEREAS, The Government is now involved in war, and has called upon the people to make preparations to defend the Republic and protect the Capital from falling into the hands of the enemy, and, whereas, several of the young men of our town have volunteered to go into the army of the United States, and more may Rereafter volunteer into the same service; it is
 Resolued and voted, That the sum of FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, be appropriated from the treasury of this town, to be expended, so far as the committee hereinafter named shall deem it necessary, in furnishing or supplying such necessaries or articles foa volunteers as they may need that are not furnished by the Government, and to provide for the support of such families in this town as may be deprived of the support of any volunteer who has or may en- list into the army, so far as may be necessary during the time such volunteer shall be in the service, and that Jason Whiting, William F.. Baldwin and Philip s. Beebe be, and they are, hereby appointed a committee for the purpose of directing the outlay of said money, or so much of the same, as they shall deem necessary and proper in furnishing such supplies and aid, and the Select men of the town of Litchfeld are heraby directed and instructed to draw their order or orders on the town treasurer from time to time as said committee, or majority of them, may demand for any sum or sums which shall not exceed in all, said five thousand dollars. The Ladies of the town are busy making up garments for those who are to go on to the war, and "patriotic old Litchfeld" is stirred up as never before since the days of the Revolution. At the request of several citizens of the village, Rev. George Richards repeated an elo' quent sermon upon 'the Christians duty in the prevailing war; on Friday evening last, to a large congregation in the Congregational church The Star Spangled Banner" was sung at the opening of the services and "My country, 'tis oi thec," by the whole congregation, ct the close It was, altogether, 8 very impressive service. 1 Mir.

Ba A cheerful little history affecting very nearly the personal convenience and personal safety of certain blackguard Editor in the north east part of the county is having an airing in our streets.
 If it shall become necessary to give it the pub Ecity of an appearance in print, it will exhibit the editor alluded to, in not very enviable or courageous position. At any rate we shall pos sibly hear less hereafter of his tirades upon Litch. field and Litchfeld people. Nor will the history spare some of his pitiable anonymous correspon- dents, who have been unkennelled at last.

FOR TIE ENouIRER,

 FARMERS OF L1rcHFIELD COUNTY: You who can not shoulder the musket for the defence of Freedom and Truth in this glorious struggle, do not think that you are to take no part in the great eontest There is something for you to do-each of you, here among the rocks and hills of your country. You may be disqualified for active service on the battle field, but we beg you to remember that there is another kind of field for you to at tend to, and which may be in some danger of neglect.
 You may have sent your son into the army all right we wish you had ten more Jonathans or Ezekiels or Benjamins to offer; but remember, the old .tarm must be made to bring forth twice it's usual amount of crops this year. Now don't settle down into the ruts and jig along just as usual, but look at things in practical way, re- membering that war is upon us, civil war, that many strong hands who have usually been ready to hold the plough, are this year to be in diff ferent field of action, that bread is what VIC shall want bye and bye, and that you must strain every nerve, and pour the seed into the ground broadcast. Put in more corn, rye and oats :; plough deeper than ever; find patch of ground for potatoes twice as large as you filled last year. Don't think because your farm is small and stoney and unproductive, that this appeal is not for you. Why, man, you can raise pota- toes on the side of a rock this year, if you go to work in the right spirit
 Prices will be high, (pardon any allusion to g sordid motive,) therefore let every man in the country who owns one acre, or half an acre of land, put upon it four times the amount of la bor that he has usually done, and he will be richly rev warded in more ways than one.
