c4y" THE CONNECTICUT ELECTIoN.-We
announced in our last number the Union
victory in the State of Connecticut. We
can now add that the total majority for
Buckingham, the Union candidate for Gov
ernor, over Seymour, opposition, is about
$500. The Senate will stand IS Union to
3 opposition, and the House of Representa-
tives l5s Union to 72 opposition, being a
considerable gain over the election last year
and insuring the adoption of the proposed
the patriot soldiers in the field to vote for
their civil rulers at home. The result OF
this election is of more than ordinary inter
est. Conrecticut was always regarded un-
certain in her politics-her proximity to the
city Of New York having Il strong influence
over her political status. The majority OBJ
| tained for the Union is, we believe, unpre-
cedentedly large and following closely in
the footsteps of New Hampshire, shows un
erringly the drift of public sentiment, and
what may be expected to be the result in al
the nonslaveholding States. The party ol
fragments of political party, that contin
ues to oppose the National Government il
its efforts to put down rebellion to destro!
it, might as well become passive; for, il
addition to having themselves upon the rol
of practical disloyalty to their country, thei
antagonism can never attain strength
enough 10 carry out their well defined puT
poses.

sE PROTEST AGAINST THE ERECTION OF
A MONARCHY ON THIS CoNTINENT.--The
House of Representatives, on Monday week,
adopted by unanimous vote the following
resolution, reported from the Committee on
Foreign Affairs by Mr.. Henry Winter Davis ::
Resolrea, That the Congress of the United
States are unwilling by silence to leave the
nations of the world under the impression
that they are indifferent spectators of the
deporabe events now transpiring in the
Republic of Mexico; therefore, they think
fit to declare that it does not accord with
the convictions of the pc )ple of the United
States to acknowledge a Monarchical Gov
crnmcnt erected on the ruins of any Repub-
lican Government in America, under the
auspices Of any European power.
Such resolution will probably be accept
ed as instructive by the State Department
on the question of recognition of the I'm.
perial Government of Mexico, and received
! in France as sufficient indication of the
popular feeling in this country at the at
tempted overthrow of Republic on thi:
continent.

say" Since the COpperhead editor of the
Selinsgrove Times cannot induce any body
to make raid upon his establishment, to
make him martyr, he has become disheart-
ened and makes the following confession in
his last issue:
"For mysclf, confess that have for some
time been lingering on the verge of despair
To me no hope is given, for feel as though
| had fathomed the abyss Of ruin and found
no bottom therein
Truly, tho way of the transgIessor is

eY~LEoAL TENDER NoTEs.--In the Dis
trict Court, at Philadelphia, on Saturday
Judge Hare delivered the opinion of the
majority of the Court, in case involving
the question Of tender of the United
States notes in payment of ground rent,
the covenant of the deed being ''lawful silver
money of the United States, each dollar
weighing seventeen pennywclghts and six
grains" When the half yearly ground rent
became duo the payment was rendered in
United States notes. This was refused, and
suit was brought against the party. The
defendant pleaded this tender, TO which the
plaintiff replied that the deed required silver
dollars. The defendants to this filed q
special demurrer, setting up that the notes
tcndercd were lawful money of the United
States, and legal tender in the payments
of all debts. The Court decides this to bt
good payment, and therefore entered
Judgment for the defendant.

General A. j. smith.

This General, who commanded the
troops which stopped the enemy's advance
and saved the army at the disaster Of Ss-
bine Roads, and the next day at the battle
Of Pleasant Hill, repulsed them with great
slaughter and pursued them for three
miles, is an old army officer, holding, we
think, the rank Of Major in the regular
service. he susceeded General Wallace
in the commsnd of the forces at the front
ct the siege Of Cincinnati. He advanced
TO Cynthisns, and was there detained for
some time by the want Of supplies, which
we're delayed by the unexpected difficulty
found in rebuilding bridge, the founds-
ton having sunk several times. This de-
lay was the cause of considerable eensure
st the time by those who did not know the
reason. From Kentucky he was transfer
red to Mississippi, where he participated
in the operations against Vicksburg. In
this ill-fated Red River expedition he has
before distinguished himself by the capture
Of Fort De Russey.
