 March went out with Q snow-storm, the serentk storm of the month. This ..swinter lingering in the lap of spring, lis a good thing in verse, but poor thing in nature.
 As the day which is te decide the question between right and wrong. loyalty and disloy- alty in this state, approaches, the excitement and interest increases. The principle center of interest on Monday and Wednesday of this week, being the Town Hall, where the Town Clerk land candidate for Sherif), sat in sol- chm conclave (attended by the Board of se- lectmen). 10 pass upon the merits of those electors who desired to record their votes in theirstow on Monday next. We have notes of several interesting decisions, made by the Town Clerk, Sc. (which we shall give perhaps .. another time. We may, however. perhaps venture to commiserate our readers that they could not all have witnessed such display of mingled modesty and justice
 Our Union friends will notice the call fer caucus on Saturday afternoon. Neexpect tEere will be large turnout, and it will be a m e'ing worth attending. r

SHARON.

The Union party in Sharon have nominated Harry Lockwood and Daniel '. Lambert for Representatives. The Democrats have put in nomination David F. Smith and Baldwin Reed 2d, both peace men. The canvass is active, but the result can hardly be doubtful The flaming call to the Democracy, which was pos ted in every part of the town, to meet in con clave last Thursday, to hear the story of tn e Lafayette Martyr, drew out considerable num- bers from this and neighboring towns, but the meeting was fzzle, as none of the persecuted tribe made their appearance, and Cotton and his understrappers had all the speaking to themselves. One sapient orator from Corn. wall, informed the meeting that half of the Republicans in his nsighborhood would vote the Democratic ticket this year. So look out for a great revolution in that old town.
 The spirit of the Union party is firm, sffec tive and confident, and they tolerate no such feeling as far of failure. Old Shot and Shsll will give heavy fire, and E. Grove Layrene will be nowhere in Sharon next Monday Evening.

', CORNWALL.

The political campaign is being prosecuted with much zeal and energy by both parties in this town. But we shall be greatly disap- pointed if the copperhsads don't get badly
 whipped. Your Major Seymour was out here last week, and delivered one of his aowsry speeches to mixed audience of Union men and copperheads. After him, a Mir. K,, of, we don't know where, was called out, and made speech that it would be impossible to report. or to describe its effects. It completely neutral : ized the poison of the Majors effusions, and so disgusted the unterrifed that large part of them left before he concluded. The ceppsrs fairly hiss yet over it. One or two more such demonstrations would secure an overwhelming Union majority. We count now upon 10 or IS votes gained as the result of the Majors visit. Pass him around.
 Our community has met with serious loss in the death of Mir. Stephen Foster. of West Cornwall, whose funeral was attended last Sunday, by large cencourse of friends and citizens. Mir. Foster was self made man, of untiring energy and zeal in the pur suance of every worthy object. He will be greatly missed in all the enterprises of the village, and in our Church and Society. and the Sunday School, towards all of which he acted with great generosity, and with much successful labor. He represented our town in the Legislature last year, of which he was Q useful member.

The English steamer Georgiana, which run ashore in entering Charleston harbor, and shelled afterward by our. .blockading ships, was set on fire and destroyed. The ship and car- go were valued at over million dollars. Her loss will prove quite serious to the rebels, and quite fortunate for the Federals, as she was a powerful vessel and would have proved an ugly customer at sea.
 z Within the last ten days, forty millions have been paid to the army, and within another weeks time, all the soldiers will have been paid off. or funds will have been provided for that purpose, up to March l. Hereafter, if the troops are not paid off regularly, it will be the fault of some other Department or bureau than that of the Treasury, so it is said.
 The first call for more troops will be upor those States which failed to furnish their quo tas last fall. There is not New England State which will be called on at first for troops New York and Pennsylvania alone are def cient to the number of 75,000 men. These ought, and will first be called into the field.

The rebel papers acknowledge that their only hope of success is in the divisions at the North. The following significant paragraph is from an article in the Richmcnl Enquirer entitled Signs in the Northwest ?"
 "Although it is altogether out of the ques' ton while the whole North is engaged in . war for our subjugation or exterminaiion, that we should offer terms of alliance, still less i,ten to any hints about union with them, yet it ls no less true that the symtoms of organization which show them selves in the present federal states, are of deep interest to us, and that we ought even to do all that We honorably and Loyalty may, to give further impulses to the force whsch promises at som" future time to break up the league of our enemies
 Men ol Connecticus are you vii ing to give further impulse to the force wlieh isin leagus with Jeff Davis and threatens the national uni- ty. by voting for the S,ymtur ticket.

NEW MILFORD.

We learn from correspondent, that a secret league of the cepperheads has recently been formed in New Milford, and that some sigma lures have been obtained to perfect an organi- zation for resistance of the draft! The meet : ings of this league have been held in what is known as the Gold Jim house'' What do these poor, deluded, ignorant copperheads mean Do thcy not know that there is no probability of draft, if ths State stands squareIy up to lts former an present loyalty and devotion to the Union? If a deaft is over made, it will in all likelihood fall upon just these secretly banded copperheads, and then how much good do them

What our Nelghbors rhink Of ,,..

.ne Election in Connecticut for State ofi- es's ., anu Members of Congress which occurs t;a, ."e o.n ot April, is attracting much attsn- 1oa as well It may, for never was there q n'9iI extraordinary political spectacle prsseu. tea than that of New England State can. vasseo even With distant prospect of succeas m .ne interest of treason and slavery. That anu nothing less IS the aspect in which Con. nectIcut now appears, for both in the resolu- tions of the late Hartford Convention and in the language and conduct of it's candidate. the party calling itself Democratic has arrayed itself and is attempting to array the State on the side of secession. They can mean noth- ing else, and in their conversation the Connec- ticut copperheads hardly affect to conceal their emblttered sympathy with their southern breth. ren. The issue which is presented to the pso- pie of Connecticut is essentially the same as that presented to the people of South Carolina wren the ordinance of secession was before
 them. Should they make the same fatal deci- son, and Seymour Government undertake to | resist the laws of the United States, as it's
 convention plainly threatened, the result must
 necessarily be the same desolation and civil
 war when Carolina now experiences.
 Nothing could prevent this but the percep ton of the madness of an attempt at resistance and their course thus far does net give any great assurance that that would restrain them.
 But we do not anticipate the triumph of trea- son at the polls. It has too completely thrown off the mask. and many loyal Democrats which might otherwise have been deceived will join the Republican ranks. Connecticut has sent thousands upon thousands of loyal men to the war, but there are enough still lefs at home to trounce the traitors at the polls,-and there will be no skulkers, straggers or deserters at such crisis us this, when the honor- it may be the peace-of the State is ut stake; and when the words which she nit ITS at the polls may conduce largely either to ihe shortening O. proonging of the war-Be~kshirs (Nass.,b Edgle.
