FOB PSAOX. Rosohitiona In hvoc of |>vae* hav^ been In* fci minced into Connecticut Legislature by 9wv tor Ci>u*?ree. They are preceded by a pream Me, stating the alarming condition of the ttonn try, (ho iuevtUhle misery of eivil *ar, and the dvtty of all citi??nn to atay the fratricidal arm. \Vp cftpy the resolutions : Ketohicd, Tllat lh? Senate of the State of Con necticut recommend to the Government of tha United States this, their most earnest appeal, hat ifrhlfe'every preparation for the defence and QuiuUDandltff the Government ehall be made a cessation, if possible, of any other fur ther hostilities may take place, uutil Congress shall hava tline to act.fo the premlsf*. lierolvetL That tre recommend to Congress the calling of m National Convention, for the oettlement ?>f national difficulties an?l that every possible honorable meant shall be first exhausted by the national Government before our prospermia people beplunged Into a oivil war, the ultimate result of whtah the wisest cannot foresee. 'v Resolved, That we are opposed to civil war, projecuted for the subjugation or destruction of the acceded States, while it ia possible amicably to settle the difficulties now exist ing. lierohe-J, That w? arc opposed to Ihe prose cution of n war against the seceded Stater, waged under any circumstances, for the pur pose of emancipating the slaves iu the South ern slave olding States. We find from theNewafk (N. J.) papers that the people of that city who are in favor ol pence are holding meetings to express their views. At an adjourned meeting, held one evening last week, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : Whereas, That in view of the present de plnrable condition of (he country, the membert of the tneeling deem it their duty, and in ac cordance with their constitutional right*, to petition the Congress of the United Statei about to assemble, to interpose (if in their judg meat it ia best for them to do) their power to put an end to the present troubles now existing in our once prosperous and happy, but now dis trncted country, and to save us from the ravagei of civil war. Jletolv^d, That a committee of ten be appoint ed by the chair to prepare and circulate t petition for signatures of those persons wh( may be in favor of permanently restorinj peace and prosperity to our unfortunate coun f>tr A letter from New York says: Notwithstanding th? indignation of some o our ultra political journals whenever the verj thought of peace is whimpered, I can nssun you that a very earnest movement is on foot ii this eitj,"with a view to memorialise Cnngres in' favor of compromise, on the basis of th Crittenden or Border States resolutions, rejec ted at the laBt'session. The New York Tribune, too, is becoming litile more incliued for peace. It says: "Nowhere on earth would a speedy an honorable peace?a real peace?he hailed wit more heartfult glad new than by us. If th traitors prove too strong to be subjugated, w are for peace on their terms, rather than a use less continuance of the war." <+ * ? THE FABIAN POLICY.

BUBSELL'8 LETTER. The letter of Wm. H.

Hayna. Mr. Russell was entirely misled. We-indeed prefer ona to many masters?the rule of OM England to that of New EngUud. But we are not fifrced to the alternative of choosing between masters. We desire rjUher to govern ourselves, and feel that we are fully able to do so. THJK BIFLE KBUIMKNT.

We are in the midst of war and its consequences. We are looking out every day for exulting evenu. Our hearthstones are upturned. Our brothers and our children are in the field. Our youths, with whom heretofore we have only sported, have sprung up into armed men. This it not confined to a few. It Is spread throughout the land. There is noV a heart which it dors nov reach. We are filled with deep emotions And trying expectation*. But thia it no time for iteaknets or for fear*. A country was never so saved. We are callod upon for msnly resolu tion, and for Christian trust and hope. Oar cause ia right, and Ood is true. Let us show the world that we can trust both. Let us show them, too, that we are Southern men and claim independent opinions,and n sustaining individuality. We are not dependent upon circumstances or combinations, or numbers, for our Inward strength; but can stand erect in per sonal character ia the sense of integrity and the fear of God. Before Llim, indeed, let us humble ourselves, confessing our sins, implore his psrdon, and supplicate his grace and spirit ual benediction. We have done so. We thank God that, by the appointment of the Chief Magistrate of our Confederacy, our whole coun try and people have become before llim in sup plication and prayer.
