How Tzs1 TAKE Ir.--The New York Nescs, Fernando Woods organ, in it's comments on the Connecticut election, lends force to the suspicion entertained by some of our honest Dsmo,crstts # hoWs, thaf they were deliberately betrayed by the Peace Eatopians as punish ment for not reuominatipg T.

New Haven has been carried by ,hem, very unusual thing. and they have elected two Re- presentatiyes and Mayor by fifty majority in Q poll of forty y-eight Hundred votes. That result was effected by change at the last town elec- ton, which gave the Union party control over the voting lists, which they improved by weed ing out Democrats asserted to rceide in New York and other contiguous districts, while they admitted students of Yale College, refused in previous registry of voters.

THE TOTAL REBsL ARMY.-The Baltimore correspondent of the World gives the total rebel .,a toEee ss ss follows:
 The organization of the confederate amy embraces 400 regiments of infantry, of 600 men in each fifty regiments of cavalry of 800 men ii each and 600 pieces of field artillery organized in 100 hattesiei, aud manned by l2,000 men. This would give a total force of 292,000 men, and this is the sum of the rebel force on paper. But they cannot show an ac. tual force of over 275 ,o0O men. This results from the fact that the ranks of some of the regiments are not full. The cavalry force amounts really, however, to nearly 40, 900 men

Union Sentiment In AIabama.

We are assured by gentleman just
from Alabama that the Union senti-
ment in the Northern part of the State
is reviving; that people are becoming
outspoken, and that among them are
embraced many men Of influence, who
once were trusted with high offices.
Some Of them went into the rebellion,
either from inclination, or because they
could not resist the current Of public
passion, which swept over the country,
three years since. Confederate money
is now not only almost, but altogether
worthless; the people will not take it,
at any rate Of of discount
When the robel cavalry and guerrilla
parties are driven from the State. the
work of reorganization viii go on, with
greatrapidity. flour forces arrive in time
to prevent a further consumption, and
to protect the hundreds of refugees now
secreting themselves in the mountains.
the 1000 voters required viii be forth
coming in fifteen of the Northern coun-
ties, before the first of July.
The negroes are deserving their mas
ters by hundreds; and the Union peo-
pie are willing that they should 20, if

Of restoring the Union, and securing

Horrible Tragedy.

4 RETURNED SOLDIER STRASGLED BI
HIs Wire AND HEB PARAMo UR-In the
early part of the present month, sol
der, belonging TO the Tooth Regiment,
having re-enlisted for the war, obtained
thirty days furlough, and returned to
/ his home in Lawrence county, about
four miles from Darlington, and almost
adjoining the Beaver county line The
man WAS married, and during his alb
sence his wife contracted an intimacy
with a scamp in the neighborhood,
which eliminated in q criminal init
macy between the parties. OF all this,
however, the husband was in complete
ignorance Soon after his arrival, it
was agreed between the woman and
her paramour that he should be put out
of the way, and one night, while the
unsuspecting man lay asleep in his bed,
the guilty pair approached him, and
slipping a moose, which they had pre-
viously prepared, over his head, they
threw the other end over a beam which
extended across the dwelling, and pull
ing on it with all their might, they
swung the wretched man off the bed,
and in a moment almost had him in
such a position that resistance on his
part became impossible
Finding that death did not take place
as soon as they expected, they fastened
the rope, which up to the time they
had held over the beam, the body Of
their victim writhing in his death agony
from the other end, to a peg III the wall
and leaving the miserable man TO his
fate, passed out Of the house After re
naming outside long enough for stran-
gulation to take place, they again en-
tered the house and taking down the
now hfeless remains Of the murdered
man, carried them to a coal bank in the
vicinity, inside which they concealed
them.
The next day it was noticed that the
womsn's paramour was rather flush OF
funds, and this. coupled with the fact
that the soldier was missing. induced
those who knew the guilty relations ex-
listing between the woman and man, to
suspect that all was not right; so an
inquiry was instituted through which
the entire tragedy was brought to light
The woman, struck with fear or remorse,
made a confession of the whole affair,
tmphcatlng her paranour as the prin-
cipal in the murder, and both he and
she were arrested and committed to jail
at New Castle to await their trial for

Treason AGAINST 4 state.

The Wheeling Intelligenoer says that
bill to punish treason against the State
of West Virginia is now before the
Legislature, It provides that treason
against the State shall consist only in
levying war against it, or in adhering
to its enemies, giving them aid and COM
fort No person shall be convicted Of
treason unless on the testimony of two
witnesses to the same overt act, or on
confession in open court. Whoever is
guilty of treason by levying war against
the State shall be puniskedwith death,
or at the discretion of the jury, by CON
fnement in the penitentiary not less
than three nor more than ten years and
by the confscation of his real and per-
sonal estate If any person have
knowledge Of any treason against the
State and shall not, as soon ss may be,
give information thereof to the Governor
or some conservator Of the peace, he
shall be punished by fine not exceeding
one thousand dollars, or by confinement
in the penitentiary not less than one
nor more than five years.
The punishment prescribed for those
who disturb the peace of any commu-
nifty, is eminently just andproper; but
how there can be such thing as treason
against State, we cannot conceive.
That crime can only be committed
against sovereignty; to admit that it can
be committed against State, is to &C
knowledge the sovereignty of the States
and the right of secession follows as q
natural consequence; because whatever
is sovereign, is subject alone to its own
viii.
We are aware that the constitutions
and laws Of nearly every State, recog-
nize such a thing as State treason; but
after witnessing the deplorable ordeal
through which we are now passing, as a
result Of the theory Of State sovereignty,
we are inclined TO think it is time the
pretension was abandoned.

Vanity Fair OutdOne.

Vanity Fair, at certain periods Of its
existence, was rather a good joke; but
it never got cf anything equal to the
following from Richmond paper:
DUBLIN, Feb. 1G, 1884.
To General s. Cooper.
The 45th Virgins Infantry, one OF the
best regiments in the service, has unani-
mously re-enlisted for the war Noinduce-
ment other than the need for their services
was held out to induce them to re-enlist.
SAN. JONES, Major General.
A law Of the rebel Congress declared
that all who failed to enlist, should be
regarded as deserters, and punished as
such; that is, shot A regiment re-en-
enlisted, and Sam Jones can see no
other motive than the good of the
service.
This IS free election, said a French
Colonel to his regiment, during the days
of the first Republic, vote for whom
you viii for first Consul; but he who
names any other man than Napoleon
Bonaparte, viii be taken out and shot
on the spot" Of course the choice of
the regiment was unanimous.
you can re-enlist or not, as YOU
please, says jeff Davis calmly, sbut if
you do anything but re-enlist, your life
is forfeit The regiment re-enlists
unanimously.
