1'l_se Storm. _

The heaviest snow storm which has occur
red for many years, (twenty live, an old and
respected subscriber asserts) commenced here
about midnight on Monday last, continuing
throughout the early morning hours and far
into the‘ day. It could not have been less
than two feet in depth. Of course a very
general derangement occurred on all lines of

' Bailing. The little Danbury Road was
“through on time,” however, and after the
first day, the tralns'on the New Haven Road
went through with their accustomed regular-
ity. Hartford reports the largest install-
ment, a dispatch on Tuesday saying that the
" snow is three feet deep, and still falling.”
New Haven claims two feet,--Boston ls inch-
es.—-Springfieid, 20 inches, &c. The storm

 

railroad travel was pretty effectually block-
ed up, and only resumed after hard digging
shrongh the deep cuts.

fl‘ The following narrow escapes from
serious consequences which happened on the
Danbury Railroad last week, one would sup-
pose would be sufficient-caution to employees
and others to avoid getting into such dan-
gerous situations. One of the brakemcn, in
attempting to get onthe cars at Norwalk.
while under motion, missed his hol_d and fall
so near the track that the oil boxes rubbed
him rather smartly, but as he had sufficient
presence of mind to draw his legs and arms
together, the cars passed him without farther
injury._ One of the hands at Danbury in
coupling the cars, gotjammed between them
so as to lay him up for a few days, but has
now got well enough to be about again . An
Irishman at the freight house in Danbury in
attempting to get on a car loaded with wood,
fell between the platform and the ears, and
was squeezed rather hard but is not consid-
ered seriously injured. Had it been a pass’
_enger,instea1l of a wood train it would ban]-
ly have been possible for him lobuvcescaped
being killed.

Tuesday evening, in reference to the claims
of the late Horace Wells, as the original dis-
coverer oi‘ ..na‘...m...-.. or painless surgery-

Hon. Truman Smith, who stated the experi-
ments made by Dr. Wells in his practice,long

matter. The latter was denounced as ‘‘ a
shameless impostor” who stole. all his infor-
mation on the subject from Dr. Wells.

Resolutions strongly endorsing the claim
made in behalf of Dr. Wells, were passed by
the meeting. ;

Communications from ilir.Smith have late-
ly appeared in the Journal of Commerce.-—
These seem to leave no doubt as to the cred-

The Connecticut Military System.
Our friend Clark of the Winsted -Herald
thrusts his bayonet into our Connecticut Mili-
tary system, after the following fashion. _If
he isn’t careful,he will get the redoubtable
little general after him, when woe be to him
for he had better kick over a nest of yellow
jackets :

This paper has been complained of
more than once for being “ down on the
military.” Any one who has perused,
the Hartford dailies fqr the last week,
and has not come to the conclusion that
it is about the time that outsiders infer-
fere aud squelch the whole system, must
be hard of conviction. Gen. Gecr in re-
ply to charges made against him, insinu-
ates pccuiution and embezzlement against
others, and Brigade Inspector Dimmock

in defense ofiiimself, after defying the
“Dead Rabbit Crew” who control the

1st Regiment, pitches in plain paragraph
into the “ inimy,” thus :

The Light Guard know, and so do all intel-
ligent men who saw the performances 9f the
Ist ftegimentat New Britain, that as a mili-
fmy encampment. the whole thing was a dis
gracef'ul farce, and that rum and rowdyism,
ruled there.

. These encumpmcnts are about all there
is‘fo our Connecticut Military System,
and they cost the state $2,000 to $3,000
each. The majority of them, in our
opinion, might be filly characterized by
the description of Inspector Dimmock.—
Is it not -about time somebody _ were
“down on the military?”

Corrrspondrnceo/‘the .7\/‘orwalk Gazette.
Wssrrour, Jan. 4., 1859.

It seems by the discovery of the N. Y.‘
Times thattherc is no further need of a
Republican party.
question being settled, it has nothing
more to do but iodisbnnd and permit
the so called democracy to rule and hold
all the offices, etc. The slavery question
was settled by the passage of the com-
promise measures in 1850 i It was set-

before Dr. Morton made any claims in the med again by the repeal of the Mas-gem-1

Compromise! It was settled again by

the Dred Scott decision i and again by
the passage of the English swindle!
The slavery question is settled. We
congratulate the country upon this grand"
discovery. Ab, we had forgotten it has
been settled again by the arrival of the
brig~'Wnnderer, with a whole cargo of
live niggers from Africa. Let the fans-
tics bowl, and nervous old women of the
masculine gender calm their fears, the
union is now safe. --

Yet we cannot really see the consist-
ency of a paper, which, while it finds so
much fault with the party in power, while
it hurls its anathemas atpthe adminis-
tration, endeavors, in the same breath. to
we-ekeii and destroy, yen, annihilate the
only party which can effectively oppose
and overcome it. This is madness with-
out a method in it. The Times. has evi-
dently forgotten the old proverb, which
says, “ Consistency, thou art a’ jewel.”
Men may change, but principles nev-
er. If the principles of ‘ Washington,
and Clay were right upon this question of
slavery, also those of the editor of the
Times, when he wrote the rcsolui: ions
which were adopted at the Pittsburgh
convention, then are the principles of the
Republican party right oifthe question
of slavery, for they are in strict harmony
with those of the founders of our govern-
ment. If a large and powerful party
calling itself democratic, controlled by
the South,'ciiooses in future as it has
done in the past, it throws its weight on
the side of slavery. Then there must of
necessity be a party to oppose it, which
altiiough it cannot remove this foul plot.
from the national cscutcheon, it can pro-
-ivent its extension, umlact for the best
éintcrests of white men. We rejoice in
the fact that it was principally through
the instruni'entalily of the Republican
party, that the Lecompion constitution
was rejected, thereby averting evil, war
and bloodshed, in the territory of Kansas.
And then the “'l‘imcs’I would have the
‘Republican party break up its organiza-
tion, and permit Loco Focoism .to run
i rampant . We beg leave -to inform the

idea; that although we will never sur-
render the principles of the Republican
party, upon this question of -slavery, we

er of his country to stand upon. .It is a

doubted patiriotism—men who are not in

ily, who know their rights nn_cl.wili en-
deavor to maintain the-us. It is a_ party,

The Republican State Convention will
meet at New Haven ‘ionpthe 13th of Jun-
uary, for tlie'choic'e of Governor, Lieut
Governor, Treasurer, Secretary and*.Con-
troiier. It is believed that. the present
incumbents of these offices will be venom-
inated. Gov.‘ Buckingham base very
strong hold upon tiie regards of the peo-
ple. - You have seen that he tendered to
Yale College his entire salary for the past.
year. That was “ just_like him.” J uiius
Catlin of Hartford, the Lieutenant-Goa
ernor, was originally a Democrat. He
joined the American "movement when
those subterraneans first “ swept, like a
torrent, down ‘upon the vale." Heis riot
n great man, but he does. well, and is, a
“ clever fellow.” The Secretary of State,
John Boyd of Winchester, is “straight
and stiff” in his politics. He was unac-
ceptable to the Americans, but with the
modified feelings of the masses upon these‘
internal questions, he. now stands very
well with the various political interests,
‘ Lucius J . Hcndeo of Hcbron repre-
seats the tattered banner of the Know-
Not-hiugs, but he is not an objecfiouable
man to the Republicans. They will sas-
tain him cheerfully. ‘VVm. ‘II. _Bucl -of
Clinton is Controller, and there is no rea-
son why he should notbe renominatcd.‘
What shall I say of the Coirgrcssiouul
Districts? We have candidates enough,-
and to spare, in all of tiiem.. In this(t|ie
1st) District, we have prominently Ezra
Clark of this city, the -present member ;
Dwight Loomis of "foliand County ; Jo-
seph R. Hawley, editor of T/zc Hartford‘

-E-remhzg Press; and Lucius F. Robinson

and Gideon \Velles, both of this city.-
Ciurk has strong friend-',_wlio may sue-
ceed iu re-nominating him, although "he
has had the usual Connecticut compli-
meutof n re-elect-ion. He has been a
useful member, and with the exception
of his erratic vote on the choice of Speak-
er,is I believe, right on the record. Haw-
ley of The Press, has fair. ability, and
would not be-displeased with a_ nomina-'
tion, butwonld take no undue means to
obtain it. He was a leader of the Free-
Soii party in days of yore. Lucius F.
Robinson of Hartford has been heretofore
known as a ‘genuine’ whig of pure descent.
He is now a Republican, and one of the
most promising young men of the State.
I learn that he is in. no .hnrry,aud prefers
that he should of. be talked about at
present. Head u cl shoulders above all
that have been named stands Gideon 0.
Welles. As a statesman dud politic-inn he
has no superior in Connecticut, and he
ought to have been placed in this highest-
position th'at‘fbe Republicans could give
him long are this. He is n_o.t‘-appreciated.
The ori:-;-lusive and bigote‘d,.ciiaracter of
some of the Republican igaderg wiil_ al-
ways keep them blind to the valuc;of such
a man as Welles, and-to the importance
of exercising themost liberal. spirit to-
ward him and toward all of his character
and ability who go to their side‘Jrom the
ranks of the Democracy, as hcdiil a few
years ago. His best place is in the Sen-
ate of the United States, but it-would be
a wise policy to nominate and elect him
now to represent this District "in the
House. Dwight Loomis, a lawyer of abil-
ity in Tuilnnd County, is a straight Re-
publican,aud every way worthyiof a nom-
ination.
In the Hi] District, comprising the
Counties of New Haven and Middiesex,
there is a strong and apparently a very
united fcelin among the masses for
Woodriiif of cw Haven, the candidate
last upon the track. He was a member
of the House. in 1855 and 1856, and was
defeated by_Aru_old, tbeprescut member,
in 1857, although he wasscverai hundred
ahead of his ticket. The District is u
very close one, yet it -is believed ~ that
.Woodruli’ will carry it. I ought to state
that a. movement in favor of R. S. Bald-
win bas been made in the District. It
had its beginning" in New‘-Haven, but it
is not supposed to be couutenanccd by
Mr. Baldwin, or that it will ‘amount to
much in the way of throwing out Mr.
Woodruff. vltis, howev‘er,rcgarde¢l as an
uuf‘ortunat.c step, as it may slightly weak-
en the Republican strength on‘-t.he",d..y of
the election. \Voor,iruff made himself
warm friends by the way in which be
born himself in the Brooks rind Sumner
affair. He is no dueiiist ; but you need
not be told that, there were -sundry tall
and well-proportioned men in“; thi House
in”thc-so trying‘ days who 'wel'c-prepared
for defense. Woodrufi‘ was one or them.
Tlfe history of that Congress is yet to be
writfen. The constituents of \Voodruil‘
will do themselves wrong if they do not
return him. It is tijpr.-, he is not a profes-
fcssional speech-maker, but he-is saidto be
a man of excelieiit_nbilily, and to be very ,
familiar with the political‘ afidirs ofzhc
country. ' ’ 3

re- An unusual number of homicides
and murders have occurred in New. York
since the commencement of the year. A
murder, Thursday morning, has attracted
much notice. A'coiored man named
Curnon, living in Sullivan St., was killed
by his son-in-law, na’m’erl Sanchez, who
also stabbed’ hiswife and her, mother.-—
'i‘hey were not 'dn_ug_erously_ lmrt. , The
murderer who is a Spaniard, made his
escape and. hos'not yet been taken.-
Tlie cause. of the tragedy was jealousy.-—
Sanchez attempted to kill his wife when
her father and mother interfered. He is
but 20 years of age and his wife but 18.
