 this is read, through every loyal heart from
 Maine to Minnesota, isn t calculated, we know
 to make our corperhead voters very cheerful I-but there are few notes" which we have
 gathered here and there. which we are sure will
 not be read amiss by the majority of our read. CTS.
 1 And first with regurl to LrrcHr,E1p. 0lor: ious old Litchfeld .--the seat and stronghold fcfthe Unterri6ed, and the home of all the Seymours! Two years ago, the majority for
 Loomis was 2l, and for Woodruff B. This year we heard about an estimated majority of anywhere from sixty to hundred. The result shows seven for Seymour. and sir for Wood. rnf. Two years ago We gave 3ls for Buckins- ham, and 30s for Ferry. This year we give 322 for Buckingham. and 326 for JOHN H. HUBBARD, gain of six on the Governor, and of. ftieen on our popular Member of Congress, This, too, in spite of democratic Boord of selectmen and Town Clerk. claimed to be as good as twenty i've votes by the other side. Who says we haven't done well in old Litch field?
 Then in our Probate District, always close district but generally correct, this timc right side up by majority as good as four hundred 1 thanks to those two noble Democrats in Mor ris, and thanks to the personal popularity of Judge Adams.
 Then in our Senatorial District, majority for GEORGE DUDLEY, exceeding those given in many previous years, save last, just tribute to the private merit and public worth of our candidate.
 And thep in our whole county !-When did noble old Litch6eld County ever do better All three of her Senators elected-a clear ma jority of her Rep lesentatives, and Union Republican Sherif-and that in the face of the bitterest canvass, the hardest work. the most interruptions use of all the means and applan- ces of the meanest party that ever disgraced the State. The old l7th District we knew was safe, and the Union men piled the Shot and She'll 50 thick and fast into the Grove of Nor folk. that there is hardly splinter left. Even Norfolk outdid herself, and rolled up maiori- ty of eighty odd, while sharon sent back the echo of oyer seventy To the 16th, we tender our heartiest congratulations. This was the district where sat the great and little Moguls of the democracy, and which they were sure to carry!' And if untiring industry, if personal appeals, ifcomplete letter-wrjting, if threats and denupcations toward those wavering in the faith, if horrible tales of .!immediate con, scription," and "draft'' and "habeas corpus" could have scared few more live corpses or galvanized few more dead ones, the result might have been doubtful. As it is, TRuxAN A. WARREN has once more come out of the district, triumphantly successful, and the great Hill becomes but little rmo1nd-bsneath which the unterri6ed and terrified sleep togeth- CT, i've hope) in peace.
 Through all and in all the districts and the County, we congratulate our loyal voters, most of all, on the reelection of Col. LEvERErTE w. WRssELLs as Sheriff of Litchfeld County. Ere this, the news has flashed 10 him at his post, that our good old County has nobly redeemed its promise, and stood up by him manfully, as he has stood by his country. The news will cause the hearts of every man in the 18th Reg iment to throb with satisfaction, every man of whom loves him like brother, and who are even now sorrowing that necessity compels him to return to his home. Even the mean, con temptible . arguments which were used against the Colonel, and the lies that were i'm dustriously peddled concerning him and his position, from Barkhamsted to Roxbury, failed to defeat him. He stands today, as he has d. waya staad. among the most popular and best beloved of his County and his energy and ca pability as High Sheriff 9f this County will be entirely demonstrated. if Providence spares his health, now impaired and broken ta 2 Ger. tain extent by his services to his country. dur ing the next three years. As to his democrat. ic competitor, he will ROW have an opportunity to return to the duties of his office as Town Clerk, which we haven't heard he has yet relin pushed, and to devote his energies to the re. cuperation of his exhausted strengthen pos. sibly of teaching democratic non electors to l read.
 Again, we congratulate the County on the part it has taken in rolling up the majority it
 has for the Hon. JOIN II. HUBBARD, thereby
 electing him Member of Congress for the next
 two years from this district, at the end of that
 time We shall hope to present record some
 what different from that we presented fort tsxs- -e I.A-5 =
