The village Post Office has been removed from its old location, West side the Bridge, to the new building erected by the Messrs. Smiths & Co., at the juncture of State and Knight-sis. lThc new room is neatly ar- ranged and commodious, and our new P. M- has done all in his power to render the office and its appurtenances convenient and accep- table to the public. He has had a large num- ' ber cf new boxes, and a row of private draw. ers supplied,all neatly lettered and numbered The Messrs. Quintard have shown their me- chanical skill in the construction of these,and Mr. George Marvin has shown his usual skill in painting and gilding. But with all these attractionsso creditable tp the good taste and liberality of the P. M., the removal of the of- fice to a point out of the central location of business, where it has been kept for more than a quarter of a century, will not, for a long time at least, prove acceptable to the great mass of our citizens. In fact, we think we speak within bounds when we assert our belief that full three-fourths of all those doing business with the Norwalk Post Office, would have preferred that it should have re- mained in the old location, inadequate and undesirable as it was, to its removal to its present site. ‘In the exigencies oi the case Mr.,Smith had no present alternative, other than to remain “ at the old stand,” at serious personal inconveniences, and on a reluctant lease,or remove, and as no place could be found on the West side, and a loud call com. ing up from the East, he undoubtedly has done what, to his judgment at least, seemed the best and only thing he could do.— It is only a matter of little time, however, as we believe as soon as any proper quarters are procurable for it, either upon or about the Bridge, the force of public opinion will call it back again. So that what can’t be cured had best be endured, for this short period, as good naturedly as possible. .‘Q- ' Piro.—On Friday afternoon last, the dwel- ling house at Cannon’s Station, Wilton ; oc- cupied‘by Charles Cannon,Esq., and his moth- er, Widow Betsey Cannon, was discovered to be on fire. It is not known how the fire orig- inated, but it was discovered in the roof and had been burning so long that it was imp ossi- ble to save the building which was burned to the ground. Most. of the furniture was saved. <0 ‘Bouth Norwallk.-—The Union School'will commence its winter quarter, under the'pOp- ular Superintendence of Rev. T. S.

We spent a half hour last week inspecting this monster balloon, and must affirm that ' whatever may be the sound sense or the re- sult of the enterprise, it is certainly worth a quarter to see the largest serial ship evercon- " 'strncted. with its accompanying parapherna- ' lia. Some idea may be gathered of its enor- , nous proportions when it is stated that it will be 13 feet higher than Trinity Church steeple .. when inflated and ready for departure. Our , people will find it but a few minutes walk 2 from the 42d street depot, and “ Old Con- . necticul” stands with ever cheerful counten- . once at the “receipt of custom” at the 6th Go and see the balloon. .‘.>. _ Baltimore Election. At the Maryland State Election on the 2nd inct., the, City of Baltimore as usual covered itself with disgrace, by allowing rowdies to take possession of the Polls and driv 9 off vo— Avenue F ntrance. _ ters. Of course they had a Riot in which quite a number of persons were shot ; at one time the number killed was reported as high ' as thirty. If any place ever needed a Vigi- . lance Committe, Baltimore needs it. It is a : disgrace to the City and State, that they should have these bloody riots at every elec-_ tion. Among the wounded was Wm. P. Pres- ton, the Democratic Candidate for Congress.- It is said that the Judge of the United States District Court at the first commencement of the Riot informed the Democratic Sheriff that he should hold him responsible. —-————_0o<.»o__. flWe’ve noticed the presence ofa Piler Driver in our harbor, for some time past, and that it is engaged in driving piles for an extension of the Danbury lb Norwalk R.

The annual muster of the Norwalk Fire De- partment, consisting of Phenix Engine Co., No. 1, Silver Gray Engine Co., No. 2, and Phenix Hose Co. No. 1, took place on Wed- nesday afternoon lust. Phenix Company turned out about twenty-five members in uni- form, and made a fair appearance. The Sil- ver Grays have no uniform. and the Company is composed principally of men of the style of the celebrated“Putnam Phalanx,”of Hartford, but on this occasion the members were mostly minus, while the company which drew her to and from the House, was composed chiefly of minors. Phenix Hose Company turned out well, in uniform, and were quite active, sus- taining their parts full as well as could be expected from so inexperienced a company. The first'trial ordered by the Chief was “washing” each other,——thrce minutes being allowed each one to do it in. Phenix tried first and sticceeded in washing the Silver Grays in seventy-two seconds, by the Chief’s watch. .The Silver Grays then made several attempts to wash Phenix,—-the last time Ph e- nix playing through 500 feet of Hose and a pipe—but did not succeed in giving her a full supply of water, in consequence of which the Phenix boys had to “go slow.” The result was hardly more than expected, however, as the Phenix Engine is a splendid second class machine,while the No.2 is an old “goose neck,” but a very good engine of the kind,and capable of doing good service at a fire. After the Chief had dismissed the Companies, the Phenix boys.—-feeling keenly the miserable failure of their Engine at the trial during the Fair week, when for some unaccountable reason they could not raise any water whalever,-took their machine to "Selleck’s dock,” and after running off 350 feet of hose, up hill all the way, very readily put an inch stream higher above the Liberty Pole, than has ever been done, by any Engine, before. This too, with about half her compliment ofmen, thus whol- ly redeeming their Engine from the failure of the Fair week. We think the boys may well feel proud of their machine, and of their suc- cess on Wednesday. «.wa——-—— Ridgefield.—-Hon. O. S.

Deming delivered the opening one. -<.>.._— More “ Snake.’_’—We learn that the “wool sorters” at the Union Manufacturing Compa- ny’s Mills, with a laudable ambition not to be outdone by the operatives of any other simi- lar establishment, after having read of the discovery of an awfully venomous sarpml in a sack of wool, somewhere in the eastern part of the State, went straightway and picked out one from their bags of fleece. It was a. good deal less than twenty feet long, but still long enough to command all the awe proper- ly belonging to snakedom, and as to his plan attainments, the workmen all avow him to be as much ahead of the down east snake as that was ahead of a cooing dove ! In fact, so ven- emous was the reptile. believed to be, that it is still a question whether it may not be nec- essary to establish a new genus of poison rep- tiles for his especial classification. Altaough an ugly looking customer, he undoubtedly is a specimen of a western squatter sovereignty democrat. ____.«........_.__ Wild Cat. A large Wild Cat was shot in the town of Pound Ridge in Westchester County—just over the Connecticut line in New York state —-on Wednesday last by Benjamin Gilbert of Ridgefield. His feline majesty measured four feet,four inches in length—large enough for a veritable panther. He received two shots before he would surrender. Mr. Gilbert will have his skin preserved and stuffed, and in a few days it may be seen at the New Canaan Hotel. We were aware that “Ben” was "some pumpkins" on fast horse-flesh—but did not know that he kept so fast a gun. . 0» Slightly Ungrateful. At a recent meeting of the Warden and Burgesses of the Borough of Norwalk,for the consideration and disposition ot‘claims against them, the following was presented and acted upon : . Bill of George F. Daskam 31.5, for Refreshments fur— nished the Danbury Firemen, continued for considera- tion. “ Curio. advisare cult.” The literal oi the classics is the Court wishes to “ consult, consider, advise.” In other words, and perhaps still “ plainer Eu. glish.” it may be inferred that the Borough authorities are not yet fully persuaded that our Firemen earned their feed. If Mr. Dask- am fails of obtaining satisfaction at home,— which the above decision indicates will be the case,—and divides his claim between the Companies here,we propose that our Borough fathers assume it—for it is really too hard for the boys to travel twenty miles before break- fast, put out a big fire and save the rest of a town from destruction, and then foot their bills for “ cold cuts” and crackers. . Danbury Times. R Our usually facetious neighbor has grown quite too serious in his meddling of our Borough Clerk’s classics. The particular bill here referred to is not precisely for “feed” as our cotemporary supposes, (those bills have long since been settled, as we under- stand it,) but there have sprung up multifari- ous bills for fluids which were wasted on the occasion of the fire, in consequence, no doubt, of the great scarcity of water on that memo- rable night. If all these bills had been paid on presentation, we are assured that we have local talent here, which in the way of suction on such occasions, would leave the two Dan- bury euginos nowhere ! In regard to the kind and‘prompt‘action of the Danbury firemen on the occasion referred to, there has never been in the minds of our citizens, any other than a deep sense of grati- tude which would seem any repudiation of needful refreshments. Our Borough Clerk is also a good bit of a wag in his way, and al- though at all times competent to Foot: the him!) did, on the occasion aforesaid, lay on satire most unmercifully, at least so thinks neighbor Daskam. o<.>e , Declaration of Independence.

Buying Unclaimed Baggage. An occurrence took place last week,in this city,that caused nolittle merriment, and any amount of chagrin. I refer to an auction sale of uncalled for packages, by the Adams’ Express Company. The company having been established here a number of years, a large collection of packages had accumulated and removing into a new office, the agent was desirous of clearing out. Accordingly, a goodly stock was advertised to be sold at auction, of large boxes, trunks. carpet bags, small packages, do“ as originally received, unopened and contents unknown. A very large crowd gathered, and the bidding Was kind that had taken place. As the bidders became possessors. the excitement grew 'in- tense, and a rush would be made expecting to see the owner open his parcel. In most in- stances the buyer would bold on and keep the satisfaction of hisbargain to himself; but occasionally an opening would occur. either to create a good laugh of dissatisfaction among the crowd. One of the first to make known his purchase was a party who had a small package nicely sealed, which on open- ing it, proved to be a small gold watch and chain. for which he paid $4.50. This was a perfect stool, for all similar packages were run up to almost incredible amounts. After a hot contest, a parcel similar in size was pur. chased by a, gentleman for 13.50. who with eagerness opened it, exposing to the crowd a small daguerrotype of aseutimentul young gent, which originally cost about fifty cents. Two mysterious packages were sold at $7.50 each. which on being opened, contained each two bottles of Dr. James’, whose sands of life have nearly run out. and many more even more ludicrous bargains. One party expen- ded something over.,$100, obtaining for it about $4 in value, and I am told he has sued the firm for restorations—New York Paper. «. . .. ... . Lira Ixsunascs.—-The Masssacbusetts Insu- rance Commissioners have recommended to the Legislature of that state some alterations in the life insurance laws, which if adopt- ed, will essentially reduce the “profits” of thecompanies. In cases where an insurance is taken out of the “ whole life” and there is a failure from any cause to pay the annual premiums, what has been paid now enures to the benefit of the company. The commission- ers claim that the value of the policy at that time should not ,be lost to the insured. but that the policy should be continued in force until the excess,—-—of course suiieringa proper re- duction on account of interest and expenses of the company, is exhausted.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 2.—Cook was brought before the Magistrates’ Court and waived an examination. Brown was brought in andtlic Court Hpuse wasimmediately thronged. The Court gave his decision on the motion for an arrest oijudgment, overruling the objections made. In the objection that treason cannot be committed against the State, he ruled that wherever allegiance is due; treason may be committed. Most of the States have passed laws against treason. The objections as to the form of the verdict rendered, the Court also regarded as insufficient. ' The Clerk then asked Mr. Brown whether he had any thing to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon him. , Mr. Brown arose. and in a clear. distinct voice, said:—[ have, may it please the Court, a few words to say. In the first place, Ideny everything but what I have all along admitted of,a design on my part to free slaves. I intended certainly to have made a clean thing of that matter, as [did last winter,when I went into Missouri and there took slaves without the snapping ofa guu,on either side, moving them through the country and finally leaving them in Canada. I designed to have done the some thing again on a larger scale, that was all I intended. I never did intend murder 6r treason, Or the destruction of prop erty, or to excite or incite slaves to rebellion or to make insurrection. I have another ob. tion, and that is that it is unjust that I should suffer such a penalty. Had I interfered in the manner which I admit, and which I admit has been fairly proved—for [admire the truthful- ness and candor of the greater portion of the witnesses who have testified in this case-bud I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the pow- erful, the intelligent, the so-called great. or in behalf of any of their friends, either father, mother, brother, sister, wife or children, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I havein this interference,it would have been all right. Every man in this Court would have deemed it an act worthy of re- ward, rather than punishment. This Court acknowledges, I suppose. the validity of the law of God. I see a book kissed. which I suppose to be a Bible, or at least, the Tesla- ment, which teaches me that all things what- soever I would that men should do to me, I should do even so to them. It teaches me, further, to remember them that are in bonds as bound with them. 1 endeavored to not up to that instruction. I say that I am yet too young to understand that God is any respect- or of persons. I believe that to have inter fered us I have always, freely admitted, I have done in behalf of his despised poor. no wrong but right. Now it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the further— ance oi the ends of justice and mingle blood further with the blood of my children, and with the blood of millions in this slave coun~ try, whose rights are disregarded by wicked. cruel and unjust enactments. Isay let it be done. Let mesay one word further. I feel entirely satisfied with the treatment I have received on my trial. Considering all the circumstances. it has been more generous than I expected, but I feel no consciousness of guilt. I have stated from the first what was my intentions, and what was not. I never had any design against the liberty of any per- son, nor any disposition to commit treason or excite slaves to rebel, or make any general insurrection. I never encouraged any man to do so, but always discouraged any idea of the kind. Let me say also, in regard to the statements made by some of those who were connected with me. It has been stated by some thatI have inuuccd them to join me,but the contrary is true, Not one but joined me of his accord, and the greater part at their own expense. A number of them :l never saw and never had a word of conversation with them till the day they came to me, and that was for the purpose I have stated. Now I have done. While Mr. Brown was speaking, perfect quiet prevailed, and when he had finished, the Judge proceeded to pronounce sentence up- on him. After a few primary remarks, he said that no reasonable doubt could exrst of the guilt of the prisoner. and sentenced him to be hung in public on Friday, the 2d day of December next. Mr. Brown received his sentence with com , posure. The only demonstration made was by the clapping of the hands of one man in the crowd who is not a resident of Jefferson County .— This was promptly suppressed, and much regret is expressed by the citizens at its oc- rence. «<0 Beecher on Old Brown. The Rev. Ilenry Ward Beecher gave an eloquent discourse last evening on the subject ofthe late riot at Harper’s Ferry. He was par- ticularly severe upon the cowardice of the Virginians, dwelling impressively upon the fact that 2,000 of the latter were held in awe by -an armed force of seventeen men led by a lunatic. He paid a tribute oi the character and attitude of John Brown declaring that, even out of his senses, he was, morally,“ head and shoulders above. his captors, Gov. Wise the militia of Maryland and Virginia,the, Executive, and the Federal forces." The orator strongly denounced all of that class of Abolitionists who go among slaves to stir up disalfection, incite to rebel lion, and entice them away, declaring that they were in his experience, untrusworthy with mouey,or with the interests of the slave. His attitude toward both the slave and his owner be defined as one of strict impartiality andjustice, founded on a spirit of Christian love and forbearance. His remarks upon the prescription of i'reenegroes at tleNorth from all honorable and profitable employments created a. marked sensation among his audience. The negro must be raised to the platform of equal rights among ourselves ere he could be aided elsewhere. The day was past with him wh n he could fear that Slavery would destroy the Union. No! Sladery was doomed to fall be fore the wholesome reforms that would be enforced by public sentiment. The right, of chastity for Slave-woman, the institution of matrimony, the inviclability of the family re- lation—these alone would cause Slavery to become unwieldy, unprofitable and inexpedi car. For with these common decencies of life conceded the Slave would become a serf, would no longer be individually,a currency- would assume personal rights and relations nized inconsistent with a chattel condition would cease to be a thing and be recog as a man. Thus would the Rev. gentleman ab ish Slavery by the practice of Gospel pr cepts. The reporters who heard the open- ing of his discourse would be disappointed. but- they might make the most of it. He loved the slavoowncr. Beloved the slave. They were his" brothers in' Christ. He loved the wronged ones. He loved the wrongdoers; they wore fellow-sinners with himself, and cobeirs with him of salvation through the blood of the Savior. If lie-went South he would not be muzzled. He would preach as he now preached. He would inculcate obedi. ence to their masters as the best policy.as the Christian duty, of the slave. But the Gospel did not forbid the slave to break his chains. although it certainly made docilily a duty while .the relation cf Slavery was voluntarily sustained. He would nevertheless aid the Slave when he had escaped, considering that the resumption of his rights as a man came of the direct inspiration of Deity: The base at- tempts ofaportion of -the Press t.) implicate the lest and brightest men ofour country in the mad escapade of Brown were foolish, and their authors selilconvicted'of 'muliguitv and insignificance. The intelligent public would soon know all the truth, and laugh at and despise the miserable creatures now attempt- ing to mislead them by lament-ports” This effort of the. Reverend gentleman was receiv- ed with grent satisfaction by u'congregation, literally overflowing. The prayers and bone- dlction were peculiarly impressive,and the choral and instrumental music worthy of the casion,—- Tribune Beth. W In a very readable article on " Daily Beauty,” to be found in the pages of the 'Oc- tober number of the Atlantic Monthly, the author says, in speaking of the utter hollow- ness ofmatrimonial shows: "Any woman will break her neck to see two people, for whom she 'does not Care a pin, stand up, onc‘in white and the other in black, and mumble in few words that she knows by heart, and then take position at the end of the room and have ‘ so- ciety’ parade up to thcm‘bysolemn little cor porals with white favors, and then file off to the rear ibr rations of Perigord pie and cham- pagne.” Raj/ther pointed, if not a little satirical.

Mr. Douglas may say what he pleases ; I was in the Senate and know that neither Mr. Clay nor Mr. Webster, nor any of the great men con- cerned in the making of that settlement of 1850, ever dreamed that the Missouri prohibition was to be touched. Mr. Cooper of Pennsylvania was a member of the Committee of thirteen, and he said to me, and afterwards declared in the Senate, that in a conversation in commit- tee, Mr. Clay expressly said that the ter- ritory north of 36 30, was preserved for- ever to freedom, and that would always stand by it; and Mr. Webster, as you all know, in his speech of the 7th of March, concurred in that view, and there was not a man, in my judgement, on that committee of thirteen, or in the Senate at that time who did not. I asked them when this bill was under discussion ; I appealed to Gen. Cass and Mr. Mason, to know if there was a man in or out of the Senate, who imagined that the Mis- souri prohibition was to be repealed, and not a man, with the single exception of Mr. Douglas, ventured to 'say that there was any such idea.” - a<,-s.———-— WThe Hon.

Brown was suddenly called away, and he has never 899“ him. nor heard, directly or personallerom him’ron that t‘me till now.

If a Black Republican Administration shall come into power, the election will be in accordance with the laws and pro- visions of the constitution.

New Connecticut All Right. The election in Ohio on the 17th inst has resulted in a glorious victory of Re- publican principles, and in the overthrow of the Slavocratic Democracy. The Re- publicans have elected n Governor and the whole of the State ticket, and a ma- jority of the Legislature—thus securing a Republican Senator in the place of the dough-face Pugh. The North East corner of Ohio, called the Western Reserve of Connecticut, or New Connecticut, which section of Ohio was formerly Owned by the State of Con- necticut and settled by emigrants from Connecticut, has done honor to her pion eers, just as might be expected from the deceudants of Connecticut Yankees. The Counties of the Connecticut Re- serve thus rolled up the majority that controlled the result :7 - Ashtabula County gave 2700 ; major?- for Denison, the Republican candidate for Governor ; Cuyoga, 1,719 Huron, 1,383; Lorain, 1.740; Geauga, 1,361 ; Lake, 1,406 ; Medina, 1000 ; Trumbull, 1,340 ; Summit,§830; Portage, 635 ; Mahoniug. 400; total, 14,514. Four- teen thousgnd« a Republican majority in New/Connecticut will do for this time. Every County of [the Reserve gave a Republican majority. That is the way we do out in New Connecticut. The remaining 74 Counties of Ohio, outside'of the Reserve gave a small De- mocratic majority as indicated by the la- test returns. If that isso then the Con- necticut Reserve again saves Ohio, the third State in the Union, from the thral- dam of Democratic misrule. Nine cheers for the Republicans of New Connecticut. . Bruises.

Wilkes’ spirit of the Times in speaking of the celebrated trotter, Flora Temple whose speed thus far has never been bea- ten says : “ The stride of this little animal is found on measurement, to be equal to that of a sixteen hand horse—that is her long, low, locomotive style of going. which works with the saving exactitude of machinery and wastes no power in nu- necessary action,or inwhat is more graph- ically termed "style.” This is therea- son why the little bay mare has always been able to beat all her more showy and renowned 'competitors and also always able to endure the long punishing races which break down their superior looking natures. Though she apparently has a tearing gait, she probably expends ten per cent less of power in amile than any of her competitors, and consequently when they are exhausted or used “ up,” she is equal to the performance of two or three heats more. Flora cannot travel to advantage under saddle. When she makes her extraordinary bursts of speed she pulls with great force, and requires to be held very steady with the reins,” -——*«. o»~—--—- as, The News wants to know if it’s true that Col.

We believe we may further assure the News that he, will write none, nor take any steps intended to influence in any way the action of the Republican National Convention—— Presidential letter-writing is not his spe- ciality, he leaves that amusement to those that have a taste for knocking out their brains in that particular way. We , cannot say that Col. Fremont either ex- ects or desires to be the Republican candidate for President in 1860 ; but we can say, very confidently, that he will not decline the nomination until it shall have been offered him. We do not know that he weald accept it, if offered ; but we have good reason for our belief that he would. At all events, whoever re ports him as writing letters to decline what he has not been asked to accept, i does him great injustice.-— Tribune. wk Terrible Accident to an Excursion Train.
