4 vonnp man named Case from sWinsted, has 1.telv offered his services to the Hartford Post in response to an advertisement of long standing in that sheet, for a young man competent to write small items, and wiling to take small compensation"
 Case signifies his accession to that responsible post with an attack on the ENQUIRER. Case also takes occasion to applaud the Win. sted paper, and give friendly pat to it's Editor, " whom he happens to know.'' An important case for Case, certainly.
 But there is an excuse for Case.
 It is in the striking personal resemblance el the aforesaid Case to the Editor aforesaid. And there is but one other individual existing, who bears resemblance tothis Case and that case, and he is not in this world, but of the world to come, for such cases.
 Hence the line must suggest itself, "When shall they three meet?" We suggest its consid- eration to Case.
 When Case was in Litchfeld studying law, he used to be called Hard Case.
 When he renounced his religion and went to Rome, and hung about the priesthood, and kiss ed the Pope's toe, and at last became priest himself, he was called Sad Case.
 When he returned to Winsted, the people skere thought it was Severe Case. And now that he has gone to Hartford, and took up with writing small items for the Post, he annears to he Poor Case
 And finally, if he can't mend his manners, and cease his laundering interference with the "Coun- try press," we opine he will be Gone Case. At least, before he becomes Case-hardened, we tender him this gratuitous advice Never to meddle with cases that den't concern you, Case.
 That will do for this time. As for !" standing up for she' Union," faugh! Case You are hard ly posad yet. The UNION will stand, and the ENQUIRER will stand with it and by-i long after you shall be tucked away in your last case, Case

CONNECTICUT LEGISLATURE.

TUESDAY, June 4th. SENATE Prayer by Rev. C.. R. Fisher.
 Several matters referred in concurrence with the House.
 Resolutions expressive of respect to the mem ory of Senator Douglas, came from the House, passed. [See House report.] SPEECH OF MIR. MY0ATT.
 MIR. PREsIpENT-I was not aware, until tho assembling of the Senate this morning that tho resolutions before the Senate were to be brought forward.
 Although feel quite unable to do justice to the subject and the occasion, yet am unwilling not to rise and give my cordial assent to tho passage of the resolutions which have come to es from the House of Representatives, and join with Senators who have preceded me in their eloquent and merited tributes to the character, worth and patriotism of the departed statesman, whose death nation now deplores.
 In time of peace and prosperity, his loss would have seemed irreparable. Bat at . crisis in our country's history like the present, wncn "darkness curtains the hills and the temPes, ls abroad in it's anger" his untimely decease Dc- comes a national calamity.
 Rising from the humble birth anu station ot his New-England home, he early remosee 70 H. linois, and occupied, in youthfu mannoou, nign positions in his adopted State. ne then took his place in the House of kePresentauves ana afterwards in the Senate oI ms coahuy.
  .o,nneers have won Q more national and endu.- ;nn fame-a more lasting and imperishable re- nown. s;deration. have been reminded how appropri- ste to this solemn occasion are the words of Dr.. Mott as he spake them on the death of Hamilton. He said:
 "A short time since, and he who is the oecn- sion of our sorrow was the ornament of his eoua- try. He stood on an eminence and glory cover ed him. From that eminence he has fallen- suddenly and forever fallen; his intercourse with the living world is now ended, and those who would hereafter find him must seek him in the grave
 "There dim and sightless is the eye whose radient and enlivening orb beamed with intelli- gence there cold and lifeless is the heart which was but just now the seat of friendship-ana there closed forever are those lips on whose per- suasiye accents we have so often and 60 lately iwelt with transport-no fascinatedth throngs will ever again meet, and melt, and trembls at his eloquence.

of weakness rather than of strength. They re- present the troops as undisciplinsd and impa- tient of restraint They talked much of fighting but were ready to run at the first alarm of the approach of Federal troops.
 The story of these young men eorroberates that of others who have been driven out from the South, of the reign of terror and confusion that exists all through the South. The leaders of the movement are unprincipled men or poll. tcians and the rabble fill up the ranks, while the middle classes, those who have everything at stake, desire peace with the old Union, or peace st any rate.
 At Cincinnati they saw Gen. Mcclellan with the main body of his army in number of about eleven thousand men, from him they received a pass which was honored on nearly all the Rail. roads.
 A young man with his wife connected in busi- ness with those spoken of above, left five days before they did, but nothing has been heard of them yet He was from this town.
 Two or three days before they started, one of the young men was accosted by a recruiting officer who said," understand you are a north. ern man. Yes" answered the young man. f" Which side are you on ?" the officer asked " Not either" replied the young man. "We want you to join us," said the officer. Young man--"I can't do it." Oficer-a But you must" Young man" Not as long as am alive, and only after have killed all can."- He was let alone for that time, but through a friend they learned that they were to be drafted the next Monday morning when they concluded it was time to leave

BETHLEM.

If nothing unforeseen occurs, the ordination services of Rev. E. M. Wright will be held al the Congregational Church in Bethlem the se
 cond and third of July. This delay is occasion
 ed by the repairs which the Church is undergo ing at the present time,
 l The young men in this place have taken the
 preliminary steps to forming Military Com

 all seem enthusiastic in favor of unon The people of Bethlem may be last, but will not be
 least in doing all within their power, to sustain the flag of our country. May it's starry union forever stand as lustrous and as imperishable as the Golden fires of Gods Armament.
 TheEttle village of Bethlem presents a bright appearance, as Spring has departed to make room for the more gorgeous Summer. Gay and balmy June with it's signing breezes is with ns The birds down in the meadow proclaim that Summer has come. The bee buzzing through the morning air; the humming bird, as it darts from flower to flower, tells us Summer is here. The tulip in the garden, the early rose with it's sweet perfume indicate that Summer has come upon us silently, and unaware.
 The month of June may well be considered the most glorious monthlin the year. The fras- rant dewy mornings, ceol, calaa, and delightful, with the birds singing their moraing song; the calm, still evening with its bewitching moonlight, and whispering winds, rendered melodious by the low mysterious voices of nature, add charm to the season, lofty. and inspiring. Weak is that dogma, which maintains that melancholy is inseperable from beauty. But how true the say ing of the poet; " In nature there is nothing melancholy" May we bow our souls in adora- tion to that Being, who causeth the changes of the season, and maketh the sun to shine, and the rain to descend And may we ever remember that this bright earth is not our final home.

 TENNESSEE ELEcrIoN.-At the election, Sat. urday, Nashville gave 3O33 votes for separation from the federal Union, against it 249 Eleven other districts in Davidson county gave 239s votes for and ss against separation ;; Memphis gave 560s for separation, 4 for no separation, 5 for Union. The vote in Clarksville, Montgomery county. for separation and representation in the congress of the confederate states, shows 567 majority against it. The vote for separation is unanimous in three precincts. The interior of the state, as far as heard from is nearly unani- nous for secession, and there must be strong majority on that, side.
 ANOTHER SEtzssrox GAME BLocKED.-Oxing to observations in the camp of the Ninth New York Regiment, system of night signals, to the secessionists has been discovered. They consist ofred green and powerful white lights They were first noticed by the pickets, and on the second night attracted universal attention. The white light was first shown, then the red then the green, with equal intervals of time between. Col. Stiles took full company and proceededin in the direction of the light. They found house with several persons in it, who all disclaimed any knowledge of the lights, and de nied having any No lights have been seen since however. It is supposed that there was a line of communication from there to Harper Ferry Measures have been taken to find out the meaning of the signals and if they occur again to arrest the parties concerned.

1Heayyy : Ex1pOrt. from New York.

The month of October has been marked by
Immense expectations Of domestic products from
this city. 4 Indeed, tine value Of the grods thus
sent away has twice during the month exceeded
SO, 600, 900 for week, result which has sci.
dom been equalled, even when trade was most
prosperous. This is q remarkable etate of

while during the same time last year 362 935
bales were received. Here. iss failing off of
over 100000 bales. The. deficiency has fbeen
more than supplied, however, by the grain for
which England and France have such need,
owing to the failure of their crops. rsl
Since the first Of January, 1861 y {, ,276, $50
barrels of flour have left this port for foreign

The KcmovaI of Fremont.

The removal of JOHN c, FREMONT from the
command of the Department of the West Is at
last "fact accomplished" His successor is
Gen. HUNTER, late second in command. We
are told by telegraph that the order for the re-
moval of FREMONT created great excitement and
indignation among the troops, whole companies
laying down their arms and officers threatening
TO resign. We presume ere this the mutinous
soldiers have had the patriotism and good
sense to resume their arms, 90 as not to incur
the penalties of insubordination, and that few,
If any Of the officers, have carried, or will carry
into effect their threats of resignation, or bt
suffered thus wantonly and treacherously tc
desert the service in this hour Of peril.
There will be doubtless howl of indIgna-
ton raised among the war.extermInators Of sla.
very from Passamaquoddy to Nebraska. Bui
it will be the howl of the famished wolf with
its teeth drawn and its claws clipped. The
genuine Union sentiment of the country will
not be moved BY It, but proceed right on to re.
aIize It's grand idea--the restoration of every
recusant State to the Union with Its sovereignty
: untouched, and its rights unimpaired,
Every candid and intelligent man who bal
taken the trouble to read the official documents
already published in regard TO FRRMoNT's man.
sgement In the Western Department, must be
satisfied, after making all due allowances for
. possible mistakes and exaggeratiOns, that the
Government is not only justified, but should be
applauded, for its frmness in removing him.
1t is impossible for the public to know all the
facts and circumstances upon which the Admin
istration has acted in this matter. Yoluminous
testimony has been taken at st. Louis by the
Congressional Investigating Committee, and
forwarded to Washington. Only on imperfect
synopsis of this evidence has been, or could be
published.
The measure of patriotism and attachment
to the Union was with certain men and journals,
not long since, An unlimited and unwavering
confidence in the Administration. 1t was claim.
ed that, as In these war times, il must necessa.
rily act upon facts not proper to be made known,
and upon plans that could not be prudently di-
vulged, trust must be reposed in it that IL meant
well and would do right. For ourselves, we
have never felt like reposing an implicit and
unreasoning faith In any man or set Of men.
But now, IL ever, the Government needs the
confidence and generous support Of all loyal
men. We, therefore, call upon those who have
been preaching up confidence in the Admins
tration as tho same with loyalty to the Gov.
ernment, to show to the world that they were
not "wolvss in sleeps clothing" prcclaiming Q
doctrine they did not believe in, and now'refust
TO practice themselves. A''f
