1@rIn our notice last week of the Bogus Proclamation and it's author, perhaps we ought to have stated, that the accused vehemently denies all design of embarrassing the Govern meut, or of giving aid and comfort to the ene- my by his handiwork, and states that his only object was to raise little money in stock job ping. If he can prove this assertion, of course it relieves him from the intent of treason, but whether it helps his case much with the Gov ernment or the public is matter of question.

Dd-The letter of H. S. s.. relative to the late Judge SANFORD, which appeared in our issue oflast week. was not intended by the writer for publication, and was printed through inadvertance. The facts, however, were all correctly stated by hin, but the tone and style of the letter, while perhaps unobjectionable in private correspondence. are regarded by the writer as open to misconstruction when pub. ished. He therefore requests us to note the inadvertance of the publication, while he re lieves us of all blame in the matter.

THE NEW ENRoLLMENr.-The following ex- tracts are from instructions received from the Provost Marshal General by the Provost Mar. shal of this Congressional District:
 l. Let the revision of the enrolment be pushed to completion at the earliest possible day, and make known to the people that it is plainly for the interest of each town, ward, etc., to have stricken from the lists all names improperly enrolled, because an excess of names increases the quota called for from such, town, ward, etc. Itis equally for the interest of each person enrolled in a given town or to place upon upon the list all persons in his town or ward, liable to do military duty; be- cause the greater the number to be drawn from the less the chance that any particular indivi- dual will be drawn.
 II. As it is the personal interest of any enrolled man that the quota in which he is concerned shall not be made too large, and that his own chances for drafts shall not be unjustly increased. and as both these objects will be attained by striking out the wrong names and putting on the right ones. there can be no serious difficulty in securing the CO., operation of citizens for the purpose of making a corrected enrolment.
 III. Endeavor to get the different sub-dis- tricts to commence raising men at once with view to the new call referred to, in despatch of the 18th inst, from the Secretary of War to Major Geu Dix. It will be greatly to tho advantage of different towns, counties, etc. ,, to save time by commencing immediately on assumed quotas.

lery owes . preat portion of it's success and discipline to the unwearied efforts of it's former commander, Col. R. o. Tyler, now . division general, in the Army of the Potomac and that we tender him our heartiest thanks and best wishes for his success. L
 '. That when the able bodied men of our land have taken their turn of three years in the National service, if an army is still needed to enforce the laws of the land, none will sooner fall into the line, than those who sprang to arms at the first note of danger; that no class of men have a deeper interest in the present struggle. than those who have carried musket and knapsack for the past three years :; that we will not allo v abuse from superiors to interfere with our duty to our country; that we are more than ever attached to the govern ment which our fathers founded, and more interested than ever that this rebellion, the foulest on the page of history, should be anni- Inflated, and the principles of the strictest freedom and justice should rule this continent in its great and opening future.
 8. That the papers of Connecticut are requested to publish the foregoing preamble and resolutions, and that copy of them be forwarded to the Secretary of War, Gov. Buck. ingham and Major Gen. Butler and we hereby respectfully request the proper authorities, as socn as it can be done without injury to the service, to suitably punish that person or per- sons by whose fault we were mustered out oi the service as we were and also to cause to bs revoked 50 much of regimental order, No. 96, as is insulting to us either in letter or spirit.

THE LEGIsLArURE.-The Senate on Thurs. day last, passed resolution appointing Hez. ekiah H. Stone of New Hartford, County Commissioner for Litchfeld County.
 In the House, the resolution amending the Constitution to allow soldiers to vote, was passed by vote of l53 to Fl, twothirds of the members voting, but lacking of two- thirds vote of the whole number of members elected. Tbereupon, the Speaker, declared the resolution lost, not having passed by a constitutional majority. From this decision, an appeal was immediately taken by Hon. o. H. Platt, who claimed that the term House" {" meant the members in session being quo rum, and that therefore the amendment had passed by constitutional majority. After some skirmishing, the matter was postponed until Friday, when, after speeches pro and con, by Messrs. Palmer, Monson, Ives, Trumbull. Welch, Chapman. and Platt, the House deci- dcd by vote of l32 to 53, to reverse the Speakers decision, and SO the amendment was declared passed by constitutional ma jority.
 It is worthy of notice that every member who east his vote .ter the amendment, was elected as Union man, while every vote op- posed to the soldiers suffrage was thrown by a democrat.
