 THE PRESS IN THE ARNY.-Quite a number of printers have enlisted in the companies forming the four Connecticut regiments. As q class, they are always on hand in case of need, and can always be relied on. In the "piping times of peace" they become familiar with the use of shooting sticks" and it is their business to look out sharp for "leaded matter" The editorial fraternity is well represented already at New Haven. Capt. Hawley of the Hartford Press, Lieut.. Lord of the Hartford Times, Tracy of the New London Star, and Wilk- inson of the Windham County Transcript, all dropped the quill to take up the sword and rife, and not one of them will fail to do honor to tho craft If they fight as we'll as they write, we can ask nothing better of them. And we believe they will.-Norwich Bulletin.
 We are told that, in no war in which the Uui- ted States has ever been engaged have they had more than 25,000 or 30, ,000 troops in actual ser- vice at any one time. In view of such fact, Mir. Lincoln's call for 75,000 does not look 90 very diminutive.
 An instance of Yankee spunk occurred a few days since on tho Grand Trunk railway An engineer on one of the trains, conducted by Q man named Latham, affixed the stars and stripes to his engine, which being observed, was cut down by Latham. The engineer at once replae- ed the flag, and forbid Latham repeating tho offence, or he would cut him down. Upon the arrival of the train at the headquarters of tho Superintendent of the road, the facts were re- ported to the official, who at once presented the patriotic engineer with silk Americah flag, told him to naii it to his engine, and then promptly dismissed Latham This action was approved by the directors, and now every car on that road carries the stars and stripes.
 Mir. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal. who has written more kind things of John Bell than any man living, thus comments:-
 "A more sudden, and utter, inglorious defec- tion (than that of John Bel) was never suffered
 
 cite unspeakabe modification, and disgust, and indignation in the breast of every true enlight- ened lover of his country. It is burning scandal to the cause of constitutional liberty"
 Hon. John A. Dix, now so we'll known through out the country as having, while Secretary of tic Treasury under President Buchanan, instructed a Federal officer at New Orleans to shoot lon the spot'' any man who attempted to "haul down the American flag" has signitied to Gov. Morgan his acceptance of the post of Major-G General of the New. York State Militia, rendered him sevcr- al days since. This will be gratifying ntelli. gence to all admirers of true patriotism.
 Kentucky appears to be in no danger of follow. ing the lead of her Governor, Magoiin, in his se- cession tendencies, if the sentiment of Louisville is to be taken as an indication of that of the State. The vote of the city in favor of the Uni on candidate to the Border State Convention was from six to eight thousand-pronounccd to bo larger than any aggregate vote ever before poled there. Indeed, so universal is the Union senti- ment there, that it was not thought worth while to run any Secession ticket. Hon. Leslie Coombs, in a letter written to friend in Cincin. natl on the 27th ult., estimated that the State would go for the Union by perhaps fifty thousand majority.
 Statements of people from the South show that reign of terror exists in the interior of l Virginia.

It is stated that his offers of service to President Lincoln are now on their way to Washington, It is hoped at Washington that Yancey and his confederate traitors will be seized by France and England, and sent to the United States to be tried and hung under the extradition treaties.
 Indescribable consternation has spread through Virginia because of the arrival at Wash ington of the famous General Lane and CaPtaip, Montgomery of Kansas. They have with them nearly two hundred of the desperadoes of the civil wars of that Territory. They are to act as an independent corps of scouts for dangerous and forlorn service.
 One hundred and twenty five members of Hem " Ward Beecher's Church have enlisted-among them Mir. Beecher's oldest son, and the betroth- ed of his eldest daughter. A member of the church has engaged to furnish every one going from the church with revolvers, up to the mum Der of 200.
 Describing the terrible war feeling through out the country, Prentice says, even the newborn infants are all in arms.
