Poor Grace! with one loud, piercing,
agonizing cry, she fell to the floor- That

That terrible word! It severed the
last golden chain that bound reason to
her throne. Again and again her agoni-

made fearfiilly hollow by the distension
of her mouth, every feature fixed and
wliite, she uttered scream after scream
til her unnatural strength failed her, and
she fell fainting and helpless into thearms
of her distracted father.

A grtat and ctirious crowd had gather-
ed about the house. “Send them away,’
he sloufed; and as the doctor left the
room to disperse the people, he bore his
guild to another department, and placing

her upon the floor, locked the door, then

he imprintad a passionate kiss upon the
colzl forehead of his child, grasped one of
the murderous weapons, and was hearing

a ,Cll-Oi-.";l, half audible voice exclaimed,
“Oh I si.-', don’tniurder her, sir, dor1’t harm

POREIG-N NEWS.
The \vcek’.s liltE!l‘llll.0lllgel]CE from Eu-
rope which we publish has plenty of ad-
ditioiial evidence to show that the Gov-
ernment. of England especially, and that
of France a little less, desire peace and
will keep it at the price of whatever con-
cessions will content the Russians auto-
crat. Having got the Sultair to refuse
original demands of that potentate, and
having thus brought down on Turkey the
invasion she is now suffering, they seem
ready t.o leave her in the lurch for fear
of provoking a general war. It may
well be doubted whether they will long
be able to avoid it, or whether at a future
day, when the stringency of commercial
distress comes to highten at once their
weakness and the disasters of the conflict
they will not regret having shrunk from
the better opportunity now offered. It
is pretty certain, however, that with their
present display of humility, more than
evangelical they will be able to escape
the dreaded necessity. Indeed, it is sta-
ted upon seemingly good authority, that
the proposed terms (probably dictated by
Nicholas himself, and secretly forwarded
to Paris and London, to convey the idea
that they originated from the French and
English Cabinets) had been accepted at
St. Petersburg with cordial welcome.----
It is further stated that only the consent
of Austria, the suyple slave of the Czar,
was waiting to conclude the arrangement
and that consent is said to haue been on
the way to the Russian capital. A tele-
graphic dispatch from Berlin reports that
the Autocrat had accepted the terms def-
initely; btit that is doubtful. In addi-
tion to all this, there is a report that
Turkey had issued a note of a character
to conclude the negotiations, in other
words, granted all that was demanded.
As it is, everything now looks like peace
purchased by a full concession of all that
the Czar has asked. The next arrival
will probably decide the character of
these rumors, though there is now uery
little doubt of their general truth.

From the othlir countries of Europe
the news l1'BS nothing salient. In Spain
another ministerial crisis is still on the
tapis. The Austrian blockade of Swit-
zerland is rigorously continued.

The Pacific IV/ruling B2tsz'izess.—
The Poly/7ies2.'an gives a complete report
of this year’s whaling operations, so far
ast it could be ascertained at that great
wlialeman’s head quarters.

The number of whale ships that have
visited the Islands this fall is 275, and
the total amount of oil and bone in the
same is 17,247 barrels of sperm oil, 421,-
587 barrels whale oil, and 5,397‘737 bar-
rels of bone. The average catching du-
ring the season have been 1,244 bbls,
whale oil, and 15,815 lbs. bone to each
ship. The amount of oil that had been
sent home. between the 16th of Novem-
ber and December 1st. was 148,528 lbs.
of bone, all of which was shipped on fif-
teen vessels seven of which cleared for
New Bedford, two for New York, three
for New London, one for VVarreu, one
for Stonington, and one for Falmouth.

Estimating the value of the 275 ships
which have touched at the Islands this
season, together with their outfits at$40,‘
000 each, we find the total value of the
fleet to be $11,000,000 00.

-543,280 gallons of sperm oil at 80 cts.
per gallon is $434,624 00.

13,279,805 gallons of whale oil at 50
cts. per gallon is $6,649,944 50.

5,397,73 lbs of bone at 25 cts. per
pound is $l.,347,444,35.

Total value of vessels and cargo $19,-
414,019 84.

The number of seamen attached to
these 375 ship is probably six or eight
thohsand.

The national character of these ships
is as follows: American 258; French
10; Biemenzl; English, Cliilian, and
Hawaiian, each one.

The above facts show the value and
business only of that portion of the Pacific
whaling fleet, which has visited the
Sandwich Islands during the last few
months. There are about 15,000 Amer-
ican seamen, and 650 ships, at present
engaged in the Pacific fisheries, from
which it will be seen that our country-
men have almost a monopoly of the trade
Not more than about one-half of the
whale oilprodticed by them finds a mar-
ket in the United States. Nearly all the
other half is exported to the Baltic and
North Seas, and is principally consumed
in the States of Germany.

THE E'LI<1C']‘.lONS.

Tc/iimsec.-—Oiir latest advices
this-' State are COlll.:.L"ll‘Ie(l in a dispatcli
from Louisville, dated Saturday euciiing
which asserts that the friends of Andrew
Johnson, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, concede his defeat. and the
eleciion of Maj. Gustavus A. Henry,
Whig. VVe had expectea a different re-
sult, btit this is probably correct. Gen_
F. K. Zollicoffer, formerly Educator of
The Arias]:-t'z'ZZe Bmzner, is elected to
Congress from the Central District. VVe
have nothing btit these two facts, but
argue :1 \Vhig triumph in the whig Leg-
islature, as also a whig Delegation in
Congress. This Legislature elects a U.
S. Senator for six years, Hon. John
Bell’s term expiring with the ensuing
Congress.

Kemuclt'7y.-—Oiir latest dispatch says
each party has chosen fire Members of
Congress (as before) Boyd, Breckenridge
Stanton, John M. Elliott, (instead of Dr
Pierce,) and either Stone (over Hill) or
Chrisman.(instead of Bramlette) are the
Democrats elected. Pierce has thrown
away the strongest Whig District in the
State (the VItli) by refusing to go into
a Convention.

It is agreed on all bands that the Leg-
islature is \Vliig in both branches by the
large majorities. The VVhig State Treas-
urer is elected without opposition.

N07't’l C'a.7'oZz'mi..—Sioii H. Rogers,
(VVliig,) ruris_betwe.en two Democrats in
in the Raleigh district, where A. VV.
Venable, the old member beats Lewis,
the regular Democratic candidate. This
district is about 2,000 Democratic on a
party contest, and gave 2,800 majority

from

for Pierce.

From the other districts our returns in-
dicate Democratic gains and a Demo-
cratic majority in the delegation.

AZabama..——Tlie two Union \Vhig
Members of the last Congress, Abercroin-
bie and White, who refused to support
Gen. Scott, are probably both beaten by
the refusal of the regular Whigs to sup-
port them. VVe believe Democra‘s are
elected from each district—about half
Union and half State Rights.

For Governor, our few scattered re-
turns show almost uniform majorities for
VViii. S. Earnest, the stump Whig can-
didate, over Col. John A. VVinston, the
regular Democratic candidate. Earnest
had the support of the Temperance men,
and probably of some Union Democrats.
There is a Telegraphic rumor claiming
his election, which we do not ,credit.—
Such a result is among the possibilities»
however in this era of general disruption.

Ten Persons killed and a large
nunlber seriously insured!
A terrible accident occurred about sun-

-down yesterday, on the Belvidere and
Delaware Rail road.

The train consisted of ten cars, which
were thrown off the track by a cow
jumping suddenly upon the track when
in the tiicinity of Bull’s Island. Five of
the cars were thrown completely off,
while others were overturned and badly
broken, several of them being complete
wrecks.

The scene among those on board was
terrible in the extreme. Ten persons
were killed outright, and there were be-
sides a number mortally wounded.

The intelligence of the catastrophe
was brought to Lainbertoriville as soon
as possible, and immediately after a loco-
inotiue was got in readiness to go to the
Scene of disaster, with Drs. Lilly, Kern
and Riley of Lambertonville, Dr. Foulk
of New Hope, and several citizens, pre-
pared to render all possible aid to the in-
jured.

It has been ascertained that at
fifteen persons are seriously injured.

The names of the killed are Nathan
Malone, Michael Caveney, John Irving,
P. Coffee, Thosmas Murray, Jeremiah
Leary, J. Dignan, M. McGarrick, Bar-
tholomnw Sherman and Michael Daltin.

The National IIo7'se S/row.---The
project of a grand national exhibition of
horses in Springfield, the coming autumn
which we have announced as under dis-
cussion, has been received with ayprov-
by all our citizens interested in the im-
provement of that most noble, usefiilarid
beautiful of domestic animals---tlie horse.
In so great an enterprise as this, it will
be seen that the most liberal views nllhst
be adopted by all interested, and the
most liberal practical co-operatioii exer-
cised. The project has been conceived,
not by horse-jockeys, or speculators, but
by men who will spend liberally and
without the hope of reward save such as
they shall get in the coiiscioiisiiess of
having done a good work in the improve-
ment of American Stock. It isllVpjjopos-
ed to distribute at least $1,500 in pre-
miuins, and, besides this, the expenses of
advertising, printing, hospitalities to in-
terested strangers, preparation of the ex-
hibition ground, and a multitude of inci-
dentals, will amyunt to as much more.
A gortion of this sum could of course be
very properly secured by entrance fees,
but at least half, and possibly more, must
be met by public spirited citizens and
co,iporatioiis.---- Springfield Repztlilicmz.

Newspaper‘ Wril/i'2zg.—"\Ve do not
hesitate to say," the N. Y. Trvilnme well
remarks, “that the best writing now in
England, hr America, is in its newspa-
pers, and nat in its books. The stple is
bolder, freer, fresher, and less diffusive,
in the one than in the other. There is
less verbiage, less unnecessary expression
on what should be taken for granted,
which disfigures more or less nearly ev-
ery popular treatise. Jouinalisin gets at
at facts without indirectness, and throws
out generjalizations and theories on them
which are afterwards paraded in books

is more suggestive than the law—inakers.

From,China we hear of rapid progress
and extensive Christianity on the part of
the insurgents. The former is most prob-

not safe to suppose that a movement so
wide and complicated as this insurrec-
tion, in a country like China, can be a
Christian one in any strict sense of that
term, Christian ideas, in a more or less
pure form, may be active and influential
in parts of it, but are not likely to pervade

Teachers Attend!

MR. Eiiiroii :—It may not be generally known
to teachers within the bounds of your circula-
tion. that the twenty-fourth annual meeting of
the ArtsaIC.\.\' INSTITUTE of Ixsriwortox is to
be held at New Haven next i_.veek. For their
information be kind enough to publish the fol-
lowing programme, a glance at which ought
certainly to induce every zealous instructor to
attend. A neighboring teacher, to tvliosc kind-
ness I am indebted for it. says that

"')Ir. Barnard proposes to call, during the
session, 3. meeting of Connecticut. teachers for
the purpose of r'e—orgitnizing the State Teach-
ers Association.

The late semi-annual meeting of the Ohio
State Teachers’ Association was attended by
seven hundred teachers, and four hundred dol-
hits were raised by the teachers in half‘ an hour
to defray the expenses of an agent tu travel
through the State and labor for the advance-
ment of the cause of education. When shall
we see in Connecticut, am‘? the banner State
in the cause of public instruction, it similar
esprit du corps and professional zeal among
teachers?”

I hope all from this neighborhood will rally
around our State Superintendent in his com-
menable effort to revive so useful an institution
as the one alluded to. 3- 5- J-

or on other subjects preferred by the
Institute.

Teachers and friends of Education
generally, are invited to attend. and par-
ticipate iii the deliberations.

Ladies who attend the meetings may
expect the usual accommodations.

Thus it will be seen that the highly
and philanthropic !—(he has accepted,we
learn, the appointment of delegate to the
World’s Maine-iac Convention,)—-editor
of the Gazette is willing and publishes
to notice anybody and auytliiiig for
MONEY ; and when he is told of his in-
consistency, he flares tip, and says to
those who are unwilling to lie for a live-
liliood “ Your paper has no character.”
N0\V, we state distinctly that we be-
lieve all we say in regard to the goods
and wares noticed in this paper, and will
for no one publish an untriith for the
sake of a few paltry sliillings.——Demz.

 The dropsical mass of organic stupidity
which fills the Editorial Chair of the Democrat
with vacancy, has again oozed out—or rath er
somc kind frietrd has oozed out the above urti-
cle for hiin—-notwithstanding his pledge t o the
world that hereafter we were to be treated
with “ contcmptible silence.” As the strain
is the old plrttrisaical doctrine of " I am iuore
holy than thou,” We are willing to give his
good opinion of himself the benefit of‘ our col-
timns also. It is 3. notorious fact that the orig-
inal matteg in the Democrat from week to week
consists priiicipally of sycophitntic aul fulsoin
“puffs,” in which this Editorial efilgy makes an
exhibition of mi ignorance of his mother tongue
which would disgrace a half civilized Hotteu-
tot. Now if these “notices” in his paper are
not paid for, he has simply ‘lied’ to us repeated-
ly in person ; and if they are published in view
of it considc1'ation,why the above jesiiiticul and
skulking episode. The fuel; is, this wliolc sys-
tem of "' piit’ling” which the Dcinocrut voiiiits
forth in his columns every week, to the exclu-
sion of the important iiews items of the day.
is nothing but it rotten tissue of fiilscliooils. dc-
ception and liumbuggery and readers of the
present day cannot be hoodwinkcd into the be-
licf that they are prompted purely by the Eil-
itor"s desire to subserve the llll.(‘l'(‘Sl.‘i oi‘ thi-
public rather than the iiidivi'duu.’. Look at
the injust»i'ce of the Editor’s position, by in.
king a case in point. In his last No. he has it
very well merited though ttbominably writI.cu
notice of our enterprising incrcliaiits the
Messrs. Lockwoods. Now accordiii g to his
doctrines, his readers are i'cfei'red to their store
at the expense of Mr. Height, who is also in
the same line of business and a liberal patron
of his paper. If, as he asserts he receives no
compensation, and this expression of opinion is
simply the unsolicited, spontaneous scntinieiits
of hi own heart, has not Mr. H night it right
justly to complain of the exercise of the Hill-
tor's influence against him in so public it man,
net‘? But if i\Ir. H. and the piililic are iiiaile
aware that this is btit another way by tvliit-li
the parties tlieiizselves mli:m'!i'.s-c their own
wares and that the same privilege is open to
him upon the same conditioiis—-tvliut injustice
or pttrtittlity is there in it. We repeat there

S.-\l.\‘T Loi:i.-i, July 30, 1853.

./ifr. Eclitur .-—'I am (1. Yztiikec. and acknowl-
cdgc old .\'oi'wullt its the pl:ii-.i- of my birth,
and all my curly ztssociutioiis, althougii now it
resident of the “ Great West.” in general, and
this city in purticiilar, yet I still regard her
with feelings of affection, as indeed does every
Yankee, the home of his boyhood, though ex.
patriated, and delving away in some for of
land.
I am laboring under an “ exercise of mind"
why? because I lmvejust read your two last
numbers‘ giving an account of your Fourth of
July “ doings,” and other matters, which ex-
cited my feelings to such an extent, as to im-
pel me to put my tliouglits on paper. partly to
congratulate you on the improved state of
things there. and partly to show you what one
of the absent sons of Norwalk thinks of her,
and if youjudge it worth while, you may “e-‘en
print ’em."

The first self evident fact, which presents it-
self to my mind, is that the radical “ Old Fo-
gyism,” which has held so firm, and so long,
a sway there, “ that the memory of man run-
neth not to the contrary,” has at last given evi-
dences, of its tlecrepitude and decay, and that
it must soon give place to that spirit of “ Pro-
gress.’-’ which Young America has declared to
the world, as her ruling principle. This
same old Fogyism, has been the bane of Nor-
walk, has kept her so much behind the age, and
placed her so far at the tail end of t ie race,
with her sister towns, that it will require all the
Herculean strength of this same Young Ameri-
ca, to bring her up to tlieltvinning post in time.

Your Danbury Rail Road, your steam power
company. your carriage, your paper stock man-
ufacturing companies, which have been, or are
being formed, give the most conclusive evi-
dence of the present state of feeling, among
your men of capital. They have at last begun
to look in the right direction, which is simply
towards a. union of long‘ possessed dormant
strength, for the promotion of mutual inter-
ests. This is all that has been done in other
places, and might have been done in Norwalk
long ago, had those who governed the purse-
strings, not held a picayune so close to their
eyes, that a dollar but a few inches off‘ was
perfectly invisible. They have, however come
to the point at last, but not until they .sa.vv
their neighbors, all around them, getting so far
out of sight, that, like the child in the woods
at night, they were afraid of being left alone
in the dark, and then they aroused themselves,
and when once earnestly under way, they were
undoubtedly astonished at the fact, that some
people can do things, as well as others, if they

only try.

But I started to say something about your
celebration, which although I could not partici-
pate in, yet gave me the liveliest satisfaction and
durin g the entire day, my mind was recurring to
the different acts in the programme, and follow
ing the crowds of people to each particular
spot, made memorable by the events of the
day. I could almost hear the echoes awakened
by that same old “Field piece” of “training
day” memory.

One Hundred Dollars from the Town
Treasury for a Fourth of July Oration in
.N‘orwalIr.' I I ! .' and all the other trimmings
in proportion. ‘ ‘ Phancy my plielinksl l”—
I have faint remembrances of the time when to
squeeze one hundred dollars for Orator, Gun-
powder, squibs, music and all, was a good deal
like that mystical feat, sometimes mentioned in
vulgar conversation, “ squeezing blood out of
a turnip,” ’ andif the procession could be made
to equal 8. corporal’s guard, it was immense.
How different in 1853. Your town visited by
15,000 people, a. procession a mile in length,
and over 1000 persons set down to a public
dinner. Really times are not what they “used
to was,” in my younger days. I do not know,
nor care What sort of means have been used.
or what is the great secret of the change, the
fact of that change in Norwalk, is I think be-
yond dispute, and that the old dynasty, which
has held on to power. with so tenaciousa grasp
and which it exercised in so narrow and con-
tracted a manner, as the old town everywhere
gives evidence of, is at last approaching its fi-
nal moments, and I hope soon to hear of its
dissolution, without the benefit of clergy, or
privilege of resurrection. [A.\n:-:.\', Ed.]

I see in your number of July 12th, on article
in behalf of the town fathers, and as proof of
their great public spiritedness, and efficiency in
that capacity cites the fact, of their putting a
few boards on the bridge to keep pigs, children
and drunken men from falling through—won-
derfiil ! I really thought the article was in-
tended for in cutting satire, until I read your
comments.

“ "1‘is true, ’tis pity-—pit_v ’tis, ’tis true.”

The author of that communication thinks
that proper credit should be given to them for
what they do do-—t-hat’s a fact, let’s give ’em
credit for being the veriest old Hunkers in the
State—so perfect indeed in their wisdom and
judgement, that they have been going round
and round, in the same old circle, that their
forefathers went before ’em, without ever
enquiring whether there was a. nearer or better
way to arrive at the same point, or whether
things ought not to be looked at in II difl‘crt-nt
light, than that obscure medium. (good for the
times it may have been) which their predeces-
sors, for generations back had been accustomed
to. No sir, there is one thing more to do, you
have still one more step to take in that town,
before old Fogyisni is finally expelled, and
that is for the young men to assert their
sti-ciigtli by turning out the old Hu nkers, and
pliiirc the town utliiirs on it liberal footing,
iiuiiiinciisiiriitc with the advancing spirit of the
tiiiii-s. and equal to our wants and trite interests,
Tll(‘l't‘ is no iloiibt of the fact, that the young
mi-ii ivoulil iuliiiiiiistci' itfi‘ii.irs, just as economi-
i'iill_v and priidoiitly. with greater credit to the
toirii. and ciitirc siit.isi'uction to the whole com-
lllllllll-_\'. except the cronkers, and false pi-oph.
tits of lluil lloiul and Court House memory.

ifl \\‘t‘l't‘ still an lnlmbltitnt. I read your pa.
piers \\'(‘(‘l{ly, and niiist say, that some of your
itrticles iiitcndcd to awaken it more lively pub.
lic spirit there, has alforilcd me great satisfac-
tion, atnd it is to encourage you on, that I am
uttering my sciitiincnts. I claim a patriinoni-
al right, to be heard, and to give my opinion,
and perhaps at this distance, I can see things
in it difl'ei'ciit and truer light, than if I were
on the spot. I have it strong desire to see Nor-
walk bear it ci'edit:i.ble name abroad, to see her
takc that position, which I101-' mittemnl and ac-
qiiii-ed advaiitages, are calculated to give her.
Her iiihabitants have within themselves, the
meaiis to do it, if some few ainoagst her citi-
zens are bold enough to take the lead, in such
projects as look to supplying the wants of man
and which can be done as well in Norwalk. as
in other towns in the country, and to aid these
leading spirits effectiially, in doing this the se-
cret lioards must be brought to light, the grasp
upoli the money-bags must be loosened and
their contents ventured upon the waters, and

such returns, in the sliiipe of dividends, in this
place will produce entirely the same effects
there.

It may, Mr. Editor, be thought entirely gra-
tuitous, on my part, for saying what I have,
and my opinions may not possess any value-
be that as it may——I have watched the progress
of things, in Norwalk for some time, and have
been prompted several times, to utter rt word
by way of bidding God speed to the efforts be-
ing made to promote the manufacturing ’inter-
ests, and improve the tone of public feeling
there, so that she may take an eqiiallif not
superior rank to her sister towns. The great
success of your celebration seemed to come in
as a climax to offer 9. fit opportunity to express
my feelings, and hence my say, ‘

it difiicult, if not impossible, for such an occa-

make it agreeable. Therefore they tvouldflsiig.
