Acceptance by the Government of the
Colonization Society's Offer.
The Government has accepted the offer
made by the American Colonization Society
to take charge of the Echo’s Africans now at
Charleston, when delivered in Liberia, and
support them for one year for the sum of
$50,000. The amount agreed upon is indeed
said to be less, but how much less is not stated.
Doubtless this disposition of those unfortunate
negroes is the best which could be made.
Exchange.
We wonder what the South Carolina Chiv-
alry will do now, as these poor Africans have
caused them much trouble and anxiety of
mind as to what they should do with them.
They did think of seizing them under the pro-
visions of some of their State Laws, and then
distribute them among their Planters, but
their State Attorney, as also the U. S . District
Attorney, gave as their opinion that South
Carolina had no jurisdiction whatever over
the Echo Negroes, so they were obliged to
give up that idea. But they were, according
to some of their journals, actuated by philan-
thropic motives only, in their desire to make
slaves of them. The Southern Guardian,
published at Columbia, S. C., thinks that “it
would be a great wrong to force them to re-
turn to barbarism and heathenism, now that
they are within the reach of civilization and
christianity ;” and also, “ that it would be
an everlasting disgrace to the age we live in,
and a blot upon the Administration, which
would forever remain upon the escutcheon of
an American christian humanity.” A queer
kind of Christianity they have South, to in-
troduce the poor negroes ; a Christianity that
will not allow them to learn to read the Bible.
And then, too, how patriotic, how fearful of
tarnishing the fair reputation of the “ Admin-
istration” and the “ honor of our glorious
country," by doing an act of simple justice.
From such Christianity and such Patriotism,
deliver us. A correspondent in the same
paper, proposes " that we contrive to get hold
of the new Africans now at Fort Sumpter and
make regular slaves of them,” very zealously
claiming that “ it would greatly benefit them
by making slaves .of them.” Rather a cool
proposition to eminate in such a warm cli-
mate.

fl‘ There are parties, entire strangers,
scouting about the town, we learn, offering
to sell coal from their vessel at greatly redu-
ced prices. We know nothing of the parties
or of their coal, yet we do know one thing,
that will apply as a general principle to every
department of trade, and that is there is noth-
ing to be made by the encouragement given
to itinerant pedlars and tramping merchants.
For every dollar saved in such negotiations,
we think we can show a up swindle of ten.
Especially in the matter of COAL is there an
inviting field for dishonest sale. The quali-
ties and conditions of the various coals are
so diverse that none but the best judges can
detect the cheat. if one is designed. We be-
lieve it not only better and safer, but cheaper
to purchase all such commodities of regular
dealers, who are men of character, and whose
interests in common with all of their fellow
citizens will ensure honest weight and honest
representations. We shall refer to the matter
again. . ’

Artistic.—We have been shown a portrait
of Rev. Dr. Mead; and of Legrand Lockwood,
Esq., from the Studio of JESSIE TALBOT, an ar-
tist whose master pieces have already earned
him an undying fame. The paintings are ex-
ceedingly truthful and life-like, giving par-
ticularly in the face of the Reverend Doctor,
those delicate, indescribable, and to most
painters, inimitable expression of feature.
which are the absolute requisites of any per-
fect portrature. The portrait of Mr. Lock-
wood, possesses also to a remarkable degree,
those expresslons of the features which stamp
it at once as a most perfect copy of the living
counterpart: We are pleased to learn that
Mr. Talbot designs spending some time in
Norwalk, and hope there may be many other
tests for his skilful pencil, furnished by our
citizens, during his sojourn.

F A family of accidents, or rather a num-
ber of accidents in a family—happened one
day last week to the children of Mr. Keyzer,
' the painter. One boy got run over while
playing in the street, and had a narrow es-
cape of having his brains knocked out ; while
another cut his fingers the same afternoon,
playing with a hay cutter.
A Mr. Cable from Westport, in turning out
for a stage opposite the residence of George
Benedict Esq.,on Thursday afternoon—was
thrown out. the horse ran with the carriage
containing a young lady who jumped out, and
was considerably bruised, though fortunately
escaping serious injury.
Another.—The horse of Mr. Henry More-
house of Daricn got frightened at the cars
and ran away, breaking the wagon to frag-
ments, and after clearing himself, in running
by the carriage of T. J. VanSant, whose son-
in-law was riding out with the Ex-Aldcrman’s
'family, so frightened his horse that he
become unmanageable, overturned and de-
molished his carriage, and clearing himself,
also ran away. It was a most fortunate cir-
cumstance that no one was seriously injured.

proprietors of this boat, have been indefati-
gable in their exertions through out the past
season to accommodate the wants of the pub
lie. and while they have had the Railroad and
the Steamer Cataline pitted against them in
a special opposition, they have been able not
on‘y to sustain themselves upon the Norwalk
route, but are today stronger in the confi-
dence and favor of our citizens then ever be-
fore, and no efforts of opposition boats, or re-
duction of railroad fares can so far counteract
the popular determination as to divest any
such amount of business,as can hazard ncr pcr-
mauent support, and the sooner this fact is
comprehended by the two opposing parties,
the sooner will they be able to save for
themselves and stockholders, a loss by no

most execrable of all birds, a Poll Parrot,
and stuck it up on the block just adjacent to
our sanctum! Heaven forefend us ; if his
terrific notes don’t tear up friend Wood’s
stone cross-walk, it is because there’s no pow-
er in horrid sounds to raise inanimate things.
We don’t know who it is that rejoices in the
proprietorship of that fowl. but whoever he
may be, take the advice of a friend and sell
it, give it away, trade it off for a rattlesnake,
a tame crow, a hurdy-gurdy, or anything
else, but don’t we beg of you make the mem-
ory of yourself and the children you may

such an insufferable nuisance. Why he’d

..
The heavy Easterly winds which,wcre blow-
ing for nearly three weeks, increased to a
gale during the night following our charter
for a special voyage over to Newport. We
rose long before daylight to “ make a note”
of the weather, and the bowling winds which
nearly took our cars off, whispered anything
but comfort to our expectations. We enjoyed
the inexpressible delight, however, of seeing
old Sol rise up out of his ocean bed, sousing
his morning face in the purple-tinted foam,
and playing bo-pecp with the crested waves,
—but there’s no use attempting a description
——if you have never seen the sun rise up out
of the sea, no effort of ours at word-painting
can give even aconception. Westood braced
against the wind on the bluff, overlooking
the sea from the East side, at least a quarter
of an hour in mute wonder and admiration
at the god of day as he alternately rose and
immersed himself in the rolling billows,then
made a rapid descent, followed the winding
road-cur own momentum accelerated at each
step by the driving wind—to the humble cot-
tage of Captain “Solomon.” He soon come
forth in answer to our rap, and said he should
be compelled to forego his charter, as it would
be impossible to get his schooner off against
such a powerful head wind. Here was anoth-
er fix ! A week from home, beyond the reach
of the magic wires whose faintest touch vi-
brates with human emotions, and trembles
’neath the burden of human thoughts—be-
yond the grasp of Uncle Sam’s Circumlocu-
tion Postal routes—from inauspicious winds
——as much a prisoner as ever was Selkirk in
his desolate abode. When we reached the is-
land it had been our intention to have seen
the Elephant here,—as we most assuredly
have, tail, tush, trunk and scales,-——thcn to
have passed over to that graduating place of
genuine snobbery, Newport, tohavc remained
there till Saturday evening, and then to have
passed up to Boston to remain over the Sab-
bath, yet herc we were. Saturday morning
shed its light upon us, but shed no light upon
the way we were to effect our escape. We
returned to the Hotel, and there found many
of the guests in bustling preparations for a
departure, and learned that a message had
been received from Capt. Fitch, who had or-
rived and anchored on the west coast the
evening previous, announcing his intention of
running his “ Mazeppa” over to Sloninglon,
wind and waves permitting. Here dawned a
ray of light! A stray sunbeam which lighted
up our disappointed hopes in almost as golden
hues as it had the fleecy wefts of breaking
waters. It was with thcgreatest gratification
that wejoined in with the parties en route for
Stoningtou, although far from where we
wished to be. If we could but reach the
realm of railroads and steamboats again.
there remained some chance of our making
reasonable progress even against adverse
winds and tides. But difficulties come not
alone in this world, asis most beautifully sug-
gested in Hiawatha, but in words altogether
too Indian for us to quote here. Those who
had taken the least pains to effect their es-
cape, and had permitted their corporeal ener-
gies to expand in the genial warmth of Capt,
Card’s comfortable couches, were the first to
learn of the chance of deliverance, and had
engaged all the horse-flesh and vehicles to be
found in the neighborhood, to transport their
Ladies, themselves, and luggage across the
Island, through barren sand plains, and over
rough fields, and rougher rocks and roads.—
In this dilemma of doubt and fear, another
bud of promise unfolded its charming petals.
One NATHAN DODGE—ye “ great gods andlit-
tle fishes,” what a race is that of the Block
Island Dodges J and if some cruel. fate does
not dodge our Nathan out of his share of im-
mortality in some scaly way, his name shall
yet " grace some cpic bold, or legend old,”
and his memory be a fragrant noscgay to be
snuffed by millions yet unborn. For, be it
known, our dclivcrcr is as yet a young man,
and how truly he can lift up his eyes as did
the proud Pharisee of old, and “ than]: God
he is not as other men,” know full well those
who were parties to a contract with him for
the transportation of our effects to the west
side !
As we have already said, the aforesaid Na-
than presented himself at the juncture of our
greatest trial, and said with insinuating grace
“ gentlemen, I have just the thing you re-
quire, and am at your service, sirs.” In ans-
wer to our more pressing invitation for a more
minute inventory of his equine and rolling
stock, suggesting to him that we had Ladies
in our party, who would have to ride, he gave
us the same encouraging report of one who
deemed whatever belonged in fee simple to
him, as good as anybody’sl Thinking we had
secured what we most desired, we were only
too glad to tell Nathan to caper off after his
beast and vehicle as soon as the best of luck
would permit him to do, without closing any
contract for the amount of compensr tion,&c.
The thing desired was a matter of the first
consideration, the pay for it had reference to
more sordid dollars and cents, which we were
disposed for the time being to overlook. The
shining face of .Nalhan was scon seen joun-
ciug up and down in the rapid flight of his
beast towards our hotel, while his left hand
responded to the wallopiug blows of a heavy
fish line tied to a stick and laid upon thcpoor
animal’sback, by a quick and constanttwitch
of the reins in the poor old thing’s jaws.—
Reaching the door we surveyed his model no-
Iucle, and if tradition was not well establish-
cd to the contrary, we should have been led
to the belief that this was the “ identical”
cart Noah must have used in making his des-
cent down Mount Ararat. It was construct-
ed long bcforc the era of spring carts, or yet
of four whcclcd vehicles, and was as innoceru
of paint as his Rosinante had been of cats.—
The dismembered fragments of wood which
composed the perfected whole, were most in-
geniously lashed, tied, and. fastened with de-
functfish lines. But this was no time to be
partfbular, especially when, like the paddy
who was sole occupant of the alley, although
living in a miserable but, he informed his
friends that his was the best house in the
street. So ours was the best turnout to be
had. In reply to our natural solicifudc as to
where the Ladies were to ride, he remarked
his ability to make them comfortable on top
of the baggage! But Nathan’s horse was an
object of inlcrcst. The animal seemed to
have spent the last ten years of its life, like
some of the biped animals, in ruminating
overformcr respectability, for the want of
anything else to ruminate over. The beast
had undoubtedly seen better days, and had
encountered many hardships and discourage-
ments, indeed like the supernnunatcd jack she
evidently had the will,” she couldn’t musfcr
the wind. The cocklcs of her Old heart had
just been rejoiced too, by one of the most in-
tercstiug and tender 'cvcnts to which the
whole equine race can possibly attain. The
golden and rejuvenating joys of maternity
wcrc hers, and the young quadrupcdnl scion
skipped and danced about its maternal ances-
tor in the most blissful unconsciousness of the
late that awaited its maturer years or the
tricky character of its biped master. Like all
mothers,“ old incar Maggie” thought much
of her child, or rather seemed to have a weak-
ness for whiuncylng its name on the slightest
provocation, for no sooner did the young
hopeful's shadow disappear from the meter-
nal vision, than her deafening neigh brought
him galloping back under her nose, to receive
her apparently grateful welcome.
The luggage was hurriedly huddled on Na-
than’s cart, and the ladies as hurriedly eleva-
ted to the top of that, while we lords of cre-
ation, with ‘hats tied on, started off in true
overland California rtylc, to “shin it” across
the sand-drifts to the vessel ! Shades of Mor-
mon emigration ! what a picture for the Pho-
tographic art ! That horse and that colt,
that pile of trunks, carpet bags and valises,
surmounted by those ladies, and that Nsruxx
to drive! Pitching first one wheel under
then the other, then up went tnil- board and
down went shafts, with disappearing horse.
In fact, we believe, so used are the Block Is-
landers to roughing it on the waves that they
would not have their roads smooth if they
could. The ladies stood it like heroes of the
late war, at times riding smoothly with solid
jolts settling them down till there was noth-
ing visible but a bonnet above the amplitude
of the prevailingfashion, and anon clinch-
ing hold on all sides like a monkey on a po-
ny’s back! But the cart was stronger than
it looked, the trunks were vastly harder seats
than they were ever before supposed to be,
and the want of springs under a vehicle nev-
er so scnsibly felt, to be an organic deficien-
cy,and above all Nathan was a driver who pos-
sessed both ambition and energy, in fact he
was a real driver. He lashed the old mare’s
back with his fish line, till he aggravated
that anatomy of bone and sinew into a toler-
able degree of flectncss. Thus after a tussle
as for dear life
“ We reached the pitched on spot,
All tir‘ed, heated, hissing hot,
And it was difficult to tellwhcthcr those who
rode the five miles or those who footed it
were the most out of breath, red‘dcst in the
face, or the most fatigued ; one thing is cer-
tain that party of ladies will never forget
the ride on Nathan’s horse cart! and we very
much doubt whether any symptoms of dys-
pepsia. ever dare invade their system, after
such an exercise as they encountered on that
expedition !
Landed on the beach—here was another test
for weak nerves. The swell came rolling in
and lashing the sand beach terrible as an ur-
my of sea serpents—but the courage of the
ladies was exercised up to any degree ofdar-
ing and boldly mounting the side of the yawl
boat—and with the “ Editor”holding as here-
tofore with all his might to keep his equilibri
um, were pushed over the shore swell by two
men who waded out and breasted the dashing
waves,and then soon rowed up along side the
old craft that bore us to this adventurous Is-
land. While wc were escorting the ladies on
board— one of our Webster friends canceled
the obligation with Nathan for the new use
to which his chariot had been devoted. The
price which usage and custom had establshed
for ordinary carriages for this trip was one
dollar. But Nathan’s was no ordinary vehi-
cle and his Bncephalus no ordinary beast,—
besides that colt !—-had it not flanked the
front and rear and sides, and antique angles
of that cart, like a body guaud of fifty fusi-
lcers, and was it not reasonable for Nathan
to ask a trifle for all these Extras? In other
words, who that has traveled, has not learned
that extras are always to be considered exra l
So Nathan, modest, considerate man that he
was, called it simply two dollars I Our
Captain and crew all pronounced it an impo-
sition, but our ladies insist to this day that
no such amount of physical torture could be
administered at a less rate, and we be reve
they speak understandingly! At all events
next year if we live, we shall take good care
to dodge Nathan Dodge’s “ nice cart” with
a colt, or dodge the colt with the cart, or one
or both, or all three of the dodging Dodges!
As soon as our baggage was put on board
the Mazeppa, the sails were hoisted and the
wind, which had been such a source of pain-
ful disquiet and apprehension since four
o’clock in: the morning, now proved a
source of the greatest delight. It blew stiff
and steady, and strong off our' quarter, and
drove us over the surging billows like a bird
on the wing, and but two hours and three
minutes have elapsed since we left the beach
on Block Island, and here we stand on Sto-
nington pier, closing a record‘of the quick-
est trip ever known to have made between
the two points. This afternoon we vamose
for Busting. B.

Housx Burrunrmns.—'The most ridiculous
thing in society is to see a badly dressed man,
who at the same time believes that he is " got
up” with perfect propriety. Such human
butterflies, redolent of sickly perfumes and
dazzling in all thecolors of the rainbow that
don’t by any means agree with each other,
are to be met every day. This gaudy and
bad taste in dressing is principally owing to
the patronizing of second-rate clothing estab—
lishments, where taste is utterly deficient.—
Now we venture to say that those who patron-
ize BALowrx’s Nuw CLorurxc Esmnusuhnxr,
70 and 72 lowcrv, New York, will never lu-
bor under this disadvantage. An immense
stock, splendid taste, very low prices, and
everything desirable for the purchase of cloth-
ing—are there to be found. The store itself
is equal, as a sight, to a visit to the museum.

it requires no dyeing, no wig, nor extraordi-

ever ofits efficacy. We have seen testimoni-
als almost without number, and from men of
great intelligence, high st snding and moral
worth.
Those who have been bald for years are now
wearing their own hair, and appear ten years
younger than they did six months ago. As in
most cases gray hairs and bald heads are both
premature and unnatural, it is a duty to rem-
edy them by the natural and undoubted means
which Prof. Wood has invented, and now kind-

On thcmorning of Sept. 7th, a. train
on the Hamilton Dayton Railroad, when
passing a turnpike near Cummingsvillc,
struck a carriage containing D. 1’. F135- ,
scuden, wife and two nicccs, of Cinciu l
nati, killing Mrs. Fesscndcn, and screw-
ly injuring the others.
Two young men of Dayton, Ohio, sons
of Dr. Ritner, in attempting to cross the
track of the Dayton A: Western Railroad
on the some day, were struck by a train,
and the younger,Louis Ritncr, was thrown
forty rods and instantly killed. The oth-
er escaped with slight injuries.
The collision on the Hudson River
Road, on Tuesday, was between two eat-
tle 1; wins, and an engineer named George '
another man is under the ruins Some oth-
crs were injured, and a great number of
cattle killed. The trains were both going
in the same direction, and the first one
was compelled to stop by the breaking of
a wheel-box, and during the delay the
second train came up round a curve and
did not perceive its danger in time to
avoid a collision. Alongside the truck
was a machine shop with a high brick
chimney. The concussion caused this to
fall upon the train, as also a portion of
the gable end of the building.
Some seven or eight cars in the rear of
the first train were smashed to atoms, and
forty or fifty head of cattle were slaught-
ered. In the caboose or the car used
by the drovcrs were two men, one of
whom, on hearing the approaching train,
jumped out and saved his life. The oth-
er, who it is supposed was asleep at the
time, was found dead after the accident
about twelve feet from the wreck on the
bunk. He was badly smashed about the
head, and from appearances was instant-
ly killed. His name was Boswell, of
Greencastlc, Indiana ; he was about 50
years of'ngc and leaves a wife and six
children. The collision was so sudden
that those on the locomotive had no time
to escape. George Hayward, engineer,
was instantly killed, and the firemen was
badly scolded and otherwise injured.—
Hayward is about 45 years of age, resided
in Grecubush, and leaves a wife and two
children.
It is said that proper signals were sent
back to warn the approaching train, but
if so they wore not seen. Thisis the first
accident that has happened on the road in
a long time, and the loss to the company
will be very Iheavy.

The Late Accident at Bridgeport.
The Bridgeport Standard of Thursday
evening gives the result of the Coroner’s
Inquest, in the case of Thomas Goodwin,
who was run over and killed On Monday,
by a train on the New York road. The
Jury find that said Thomas Goodwin
came to his death from injuries received
by being struck and thrown from the rail-
road bridge by the engine of the New
York and N cw Haven Railroad Compa-
ny, and they therefore further find by the
tescimony that said Thomas Goodwin was
for some cause to the Jury unknown, ly-
ing upon said railroad track and making
an effort to get out of the way of the en-
gine, and they are of the opinion that
the engineer on said engine could and
did see said Thomas Goodwin in time to
have stopped the train before reaching
him, but that, regardless of him, the-said
Thomas Goodwin, and signals made by
others, did continue to run his train, and
did not sound his whistle to broke up,
until just about the time that the said
Thomas Goodwin was struck by the en-
gine. And the Jury are of the opinion
that it is vex y unsafe for people to cross
said bridge, and that some measures
should be taken to prevent it by the au-
thorities whose business it is.

Professor or his assistant, with all neces-
sary instruments and fixtures for working

require a few days preparation for the
adjustment of the machinery. This will
occupy him until the 28th of September,
or perhaps until the 15!; of October, but
certainly not longer. If therefore, he

A Chess Triumph.
Those who have observed with chagrin,
the successive defeats of Mr. Ten Broeck
in horse racing and who are not willing
to yield the palm to the old country in
any thing, have now a much better reason
for rejoicing than any sporting victories
could have afforded them. If America
is beaten by England thus far in horse-
races, she bears off the palm, it appears,
in the noble game of chess. Even those
who are not chess playcs will be interest-
ed in the following record of Mr. Morphy’s
triumphs, taken from Bell’s life in London
Aug. 23.
Since the arrival of Mr. Morphy the
young American Philidor, in England he
has played constantly with el‘: wfib have
dared to present themselves, and his ca-
rcer so far has been one of unmixed tri;
nmph. The sceptics who turned no their
noses at the very idea of a boy of twenty
being a first-rate, are now muttering in
batedtoncs about “ exceptions to thechsu-
al rule,” and so forth. “'0 candidly own
we consider Mr. Morphy a phenomenon,
and are delighted to bail in him certainly
the finest player since McDonnell and La
Bourdouuais. Results in chess speak for
themselves ; and great talent is neither to
be written down no: inferior talent writ-
ten up, save for a season.
Beginning with Herr Lowenthal-—whilo
we write the match is not over ; but Mor-
phy has but one more game to win.—
They have played twelve games, of which
Morphy scores eight, draws one, and
loses three. \Vith Mr. Barnes of the St.
George’s Club Mr. Morphy has played
26 games, winning nineteen and loosing
seven. With Mr. Boadcn Morphy play-
ed nine games, winning five, losing one
and drawing three. Of twelve games
contested with Bird, Morphy gained no
less than ten drawing one and losing one.
With Mr. Hampton the American has
played and won two games; of six played
against the veteran Herr Lowe, the Amer-
ican wins six. With the Rev. Mr. Owen,
Morphy played five games, winning four
and losing one; and then giving pawn and
move for a match of five games, won all
five, drew two, and lost one ! It was
agreed that if Morphy beat Owon at pawn
and move, he was to play a second match
at pawn and two moves, which match we
shall, doubtless, therefore, hear of in due
course, Morphy being remarkably given
to carry out all his undertakings.
A few words, now, on the prOSpect of
a match between Morphy and Mr. Stauu-
ton, respecting which, note that we aim
strictly at fact not comment. Mr. Morphy
has thrice challenged Mr. Staunton, and
the receipt of his cartel has been thrice
courteously acknowledged. The first
challenge was in print, in an American
chess monthly, from the New Orleans
Chess Club, inviting Stauntou to come
out and play on his own terms, for any
stake up to $5,000 a side. Mr. Staum
ton’s reply indicated a great desire to play
Morphy, but a refusal to come so far; and '
for this he could not be blamed. Morphy
crossed the sea, and repeated his challenge
for the second time, viz-a race, receiving
for answer a polite renewal of Mr. Stunn-
tou’s wish to play, but a desire to have a
“few weeks” preliminary practice, study
of openings, &C. Mr. Morphy bowed as-
sent, as he does to almost everything, but
the few weeks, and a few more, passing
without the day being fixed, the initiative
here being clearly thrmvn upon Mr. Stunn-
ton,-——Morphy sent his third challenge, in
writing, and received a written reply this
week. But, unfortunately, this written
reply is merely an echo of the old “ de-
lighted to play.” and the rest of it ; no
day or even month fixed for the encounter.
Morphy, perhaps, hardly feels it delicate
to send a fourth cartel, but we think his
straightest course would be to do so, sim‘
ply saying, “ Will you kindly name the
day, or do you decline accepting my chal-
lenge ?” Mr. Morphy leaves all condi-
tions to Mr. Stauntou.
Morphy meanwhile, standing in relation
to Mr. Staunton, something as our gal-
lant Broke did in the Shannon off Boston
when he sent his well known cartel to the
American captain of the Chesapeake.—
“ Your flag requires a victory such as it
would gain in taking my ship to give-it
the position in the eyes of the nations you
pretend to take up. I can remain here
but eight-and-forty hours longer, wanting
as I do provrsions and water. So do me
the honor to come out at once and fight,
if you mean it.” It must always be re-
membered that Morphy is here as a mere
traveler, and therefore cannot affordto
wait for an adversary until the year of
grace 1860. If Mr. Stauntou declines
his challenge, Mr. Morphy will probably
run over to Paris to play Herrwitz, and
from thence on to Germany to encounter
Andcrsson.
