 WHAT WAS THOUGHT or THE CoHSBo1rou4 TRooPs.-We find in the official report of the battle of Bull Run, the following commendabls notice of the Connecticut Regiments. Colonel Keys, says:-
 sThe gallantry with which the Second Maine and Connecticut Regiments charged up the hill upon the eneny's artillery and infantry was never, in my opinion, surpassed, and the con- duct of Coonels Johnson and Chatfeld in this instance and throughout the day merits the hi ghest commendation. Col. Terry rendered great assistance by his gallantry and excellent conduct. Lieut. Hascall, Acting Assistant Ad- jutant Generals Lieuts. Walter and Ely, render ed gallant and effective assistance"
 In the thickest of the contest at Bull Run, rebel colonel of cavalry was knocked out of his saddle by Q ball from one of our rihemen.- 6 There goes old Baker, of the Georgia First" shouted one of our boys in the hearing of his chaplain. :" Whe?" queried the parson. ''Col- onel Baker, of the rebel ranks, has just gone to his long home" "Ah, well,' replied the chap lain, quietly, "the longer live the less cause I have to find fault with the inscrutabls acts of Divine Providence.'
 TREASON WORKING NoRTH.-Breckinridg and Vallandigham, it seems, made an effort to nclte civil war in Baltimore by attempting speech es there on Thursday night. Vallandigham final ly did not speak, nor was Breckinridge allowed to say much, but his fragmentary sentences were calculated to excite the mob against the govern ment, inhaming their minds with the untruth that they were poor fellows degraced by an op-. pressive administration. He was not permitted to finish his traitorous harangue.
 We understand that these two men may be ex- pected in Connecticut to stir up sedition against the government Breckinridge is repudiated and powerless in Kentucky. He is rejected in Balti- more. Will Connecticut harbor the apostle of rebellion ?-P1eSs.

The office was gutted, and the printing materials burnt. The publishers took refuge in the attic. where they were found and carried to the police station with great difficulty, so eager was the of the soldiers.
