DastardIy and UnprOvOked
ASsaull.

We hoped that the election in this city
yesterday would pass off quietly, and with
out the repetition Of those outrages which
have disgraced other places, but, We regret
to say, we were in some measure mistaken,
as the following instance will show:
Arrangements had been made with the
Republican officers of the election, to ad,
nit into the room, at each of the places for
holding the election, two Democrats who
might challenge illegal votes and see that
everything was conducted fairly. One Of
the gentleman selected for the service in
the Fourth Ward is prominent business
man, man of spotless integrity, and, III
deed, agentteman in every respect. During
the afternoon crowd of Republican row :
dies assembled aud endeavored to compel
him to leave the poles. He refused to do
SO, and quietly, but firmly stood at his pos t.
He was insulted by all manner of appro
brious eplthets, and finally one ruftian
holder than the rest, struck him blow
with bis fist. He defended himself as well
as he could, warding off the blows of his
assailant, but not seeking to inure him in
return, until he was knocked down. the
crowd meanwhile shouting Kill him! Xii,
himl" "Kill thed-d copperhead," &C., but
no one interposing for his protection. Recov.
ering himself somewhat, he sprang from
the floor, and Selling an iron poker which
was standing near at hand, was about to in,

assailed him, when number of Republicans

and the Democrat remained at his most at-
tending to his duties there until the polls
were closed
This is the only instance Of personal rem
contre OF which we heard yesterday Its
occurrence was matter of sincere r.o,c,
The assault was altogether unprovoked
and utterly without excuse. The oen,lo

Sent to the Front.

The Rochester Union announces that
Col. James M. Willett, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in the Genessse
district, has been ordered to the front
though wholly unable to perform duty in
consequences Of wounds. He is slowly con-
valescing, but, as he is candidate for
Congress, he is not permitted to remain at
home. His opponent, Butt Van Horn, does
not go TO the front or expose himself at
all. He spends his tins denouncing as 4
copperhead his opponent, who is suffering
from wounds received in battle, and who
is now sent forward to engage in arduous
field service, though yet too feeble to do 50
with safety. afr ...-4.....

a Testimssx from the south.
FROM wINTHRoP's GREAT SPEECH in CON


"a Testimohy from the south 7
FROM wINTHRoP's GREAT SPEECH IN CON-
NECTICUT.
" I fear, my friends, that I have already
detained you too long. My own strength,
certainly, will hardly hold out longer, even
if your indulgence and your patience be
not already exhausted. But l must not
take my leave without giving YOU little
piece Of testimony of the highest interest
and importance. Among the refugees from
Atlanta, Immediately after its capture,
there came within our lines person of the
most estimable and excellent character,
who had enjoyed the best opportunities of
understanding the Southern heart. And
what said he, do you think, on being in
terrogated as to the prospects OF the tu'
ture3 can give yen his remarks from the
most authentic source. They were COM
municated, to me by good friend of the
Union in one of the Border States. g" If
DMf. IincoIn is reelected said he, the
people Of the South will fight for thirty
years, for they feel that they can do no bet
ter; but if Mcclellan is elected, such an
over whelming Union party will be formed
in the South that peace will be the almo
immediate result l speak," said he, "the
sentiments of the people, not the officials
The leaders of the rebellion are anxious for
the reelection Of Mr.. Lincoln, as giving
most hope of the ultimate success OF the
rebel cause. But the people," he added,
i"respect Mcclellan, and believe in his hons
esty, capacity and patriotism and, being
heartily tired ofthe war, they are willing to
trust him." .@sS2laGg8a
Such is the latest and most authe ntic
testimony from the very heart of the South
ern Confsderacy. It was communicated to
me from a source entitled to the highest
confidence, and it concurs, l need hardly
say, with every opinion which l have been
able to form for myself do firmly and
honestly believe that if, by the aid Of this
good old State of Connecticut, George
Brinton Mcclellan shall be proclaimed
President of the United States of America
Ga the 4th day of March next, as hope
and trust he may be, another year will not
have expired without witnessing tie final
termination of the rebellion and that the
succeeding fourth of July will find US cele-
brating such jubilee as has not been since
that day was first hailed as the birthday OF
American independence. l do not forget
the danger of indulging in these ninety
days, or even twelve months prophecies. l
do not forget how many memorable warn.
ings we have had of their fallacy. i can
only say, that in that hope, in that trust,
in that firm and answering confidence, 1
shall give my vote to the Democratic party;
and whether that vote shall prove to have
been cast with the many or with the few,
with majorities or with minorities, l shall
feel that I have followed the dictates
of my best Judgment, of my own conssi>
entious convictions Of duty, and of my own
unalterable attachment and devotion to
the Constitution and Union Of my country.
