cntreat all friends of the Republican cause
to put forth such efforts as they may be able
in “ spreading the documents.” We are corr—
fideut vastly more good Inay be accomplish-

The Meteor.
The most beautiful and perhaps the most
remarkable meteor ever witnessed in this
vicinitv was seen by quite a uurnber of our
citizens on Friday night last, at about. 10
o’clock. The whole heavens were illumina-
ted, and one gentleman informs us that he
heard a distinct report of an explosion.—
There seems to be a contraricty of opinion
as to the direction of the meteor, among
those who saw it. Several assure us that
its course was South to South-west, while.
others are equally positive that its direction
was due East. Our own opinion is that, af-
ter the explosion, it took two or three dis-
tinct directions.
A Bridgeport paper says “one of the stones
from the meteor passed through the window
of a house in East Bridgeport,” but we imag-
ine the stone had a more terrestrial origen.——
The extraordinary brilliancy of the meteor,
its two heads and magnificent train, and its
apparent nearncss to the earth, make it one
of the most remarkable exhibitions ever wif-
nessed. '

Tun UNION SCHOOL—At the adjourned
Annual Meeting held on Tuesday last, the
Committee's report was received and read.
It represents the affairs of the District in a
much better light than was generally antici-
pated. A general stampede of resignations
took place thereafter, commencing with \Vm.
S. Lockwood, Esq., Chairman of the Corri-
mittee, and ending with t. llcctor. Mr.

That Mysterious Vessel.
Since our last, the mysterious schooner
whichhas been hovering about our harbor,
has drawn up alongside of Alderman Ely’s
new dock, where she has received on board
large quantities of supplies, lumber, &c., &c.
On Friday afternoon last, pcr Conductor
Stock’s train, came. up a large quantity ofug-
lyiooking missiles from Edges’ Pyrotechnic
mauufactory, which wete at once shipped On
board the mkish craft. Furthermore, it has
transpired that the master of this vessel was
recently master and part owner of the Joseph-
ine, just seized by the United States authori-
ties for fitting out as a slaver, and he makes
no hesitation in acknowledging that his pres-
ent. vessel came from Baltimore. In answer
to inquiries, the captain states his intention of
putting to sea this Tuesday morning, via
Montauk Point and Block Island, but wheth—
er this is merely a. ruse to slip off and escape
the vigilance of our custom house officials, or
whether she is really a clever, as would ap-
pear from all the secret and mysterious Ina-
nozuvrcs about her, we are. not prepared to
say, although it certainly looks very like it-
At all accounts, we would advise our custom
House officers, both here and at Bridgeport,
as well as Capt. Card at Block Island, to keep
a. sharp look out for them.

prepared a rather lengdhy account. ofthe rc—
gatta. which was sailed here on ”10 181b, but
—sccond thoughts bringing the conviction'
that the less said about certain matters the
better it will be for our estimate of human
nature—has concluded not. to submit it.
But, that honour may be given to whom
honour is cue, the following statement is
'made: The prize for first class boats was
won by the Richards, which came in first of
the fleet ; the Ncrita closely following,
taking the second prize in the same class.
Among the second class boats, the Eclipg’,
which was leading in gallant style, was—as
is believed by many designcdly run into, a
few rnimrtes before reaching the home stake-
boat, by a large sail-boat, bearing the name
Minnie upon her burgec ; and which, for thc
reputation of our harbor it: may be well to
state, was an outside boat. sailing from New
Rochelle. So much time was lost by the
Eclipse in repairing the damage done her by
the collision, that one of the boats, which
she had previously l,cd throughout the whole
race, was enabled to pass her,——and the dis-
tance to the stake-boat. being then too short
to allow her regaining her proper position,—
slrc technically lost the race.
The Judges, however, in recognition of the
fact that the Eclipse had proved herself the
best boat. of her class, awarded her an extra
prize—equal in amount to the one which she
had lost through no fault of her own.
The repeated cheers with which this de-
cision of the judges was received by the spec-
tutors, and the congratulations which were
showered upon young Stephens, who sailed
the Eclipse, testified in the most enthusiastic
manner, the conviction of all, that as far
as 2nd class boats were concerned, to her be-
longed the honour of the race; and that the
18th was truly “The day of the Eclipse.”

A PAINFUL OCCURRENCE—Ill Danbury,on
Friday evening last, Mr. Henry S. Harvey,of
the firm of H. S. A: I. Harvey, Druggists, in
preparing medicine, put corrosive sublz‘male
into it, mistaking it for sugar, of which he
drank, and also Mr. Ebenezer Bailey. They
have since been sufferingr severely from the
effects of the poison, and there is very little
prospect of the recovery of either. This oc—
currence, showing a liability of Druggists
crring themselves, suggests the 'aluable re-
form sought to be effected in New York, of
putting all deadly poisons kept in Drug
Stores in a separate closet or cabinet, with
doors and lock and key.

plishcd or been the means of accomplishing
for this town and borough, infinitely more
than the combined wealth of all the moss-
grown aristocracy, with all their money,have
or ever would have done. Instead of en—
couraging they too often have used their cf.
forts to put down every attempt. at improve-
ment. Those who heard the remarks and
criticisms current. when the Gazelle Building
was being erected, will readily understand
the feeling and spirit which moves them
whenever one steps aside, or a little ahead of
the quaint notions of‘ Old Fogics.‘
A few days since it. was reported that. a
gentleman was about to erect a Fountain on
the Green, &c. The gentleman to whom
this was being communicated remarked with
peculiar expression and gesture, “I think I
see it,” and with a leer began tocxpatiate on
its beauties. SO with every other enterprise
great or small. These same men complain
of the dull times, while they go to the city to
make their purchase Of articles and goods
that could be as cheaply furnished here, if
they would dispense their patronage at home.
I fully believe it our duty to give encourage-
ment, support and patronage to our own
manufactories, merchants and mechanics, as
it is emphatically on these we must rely for
the increase and business growth of our town
and its consequent business importance and
value, Tome, it appears that a kind Provi-

to wake up and arouse the dormant errcgics of
our people, let them put. their best. foot for-

appear propitious, substantial improvements
were never so rife; let us all then take hold

III his lengthy speech at the Cooper lnsti- 1
lute, on “'cducsday evening, says the Sun,
‘ Mr. DANIEL S. Drcrnxson denounced, in Ihc
bittercst terms, the Free Soil Democratic
cilquc who have succeeded in controlling the
party organization in New York State, and in
monopolizing most of the Federal patronage,
for the last seven or eight years. After their
defection in 1847. and their defeat of Cass in
1848, they were for the sake of union, taken
back into the party, and they at once inso—
lently demanded the best offices and the
highest honors. Since that time, says Mr.
Dickinson:
Caucuses have been run by contract, con-
tract, conventions havc been packed, and the
management of the party machrncry has been
assigned to its chief and assrstant. engrpecrs,
with as much precision and regard to mmutra
as the running of railroad trams. \Vlren a
corps of hands were wanted to falsrf y domes-
tic history at IVashington, calumnrate. farth-
ful Democrats and honest men they were ill
motion with all the alacrrfy Of pohcc detect-
ives, who start to arrest and punish, not per-
petrated fraud. In short, they usually keep
stationed there a drill sergeant and a file of
Incn, to serve in emergencies. When an
office was vacant, or a job of depicting the
treasury was in the mar-ket,they snuffed up
the spoil with that keen Instruct grvcn to'all
the birds of» evil omen and demanded It as
their lawful booty. They were “political
gamblers” by trade, and pursued thcrr avoca-
tion with appropriate and shameless desper-
ation.
Thus did they irnpOsc ubon Administra-
tions which knew “or ought to have known
their blearcd and blackened histor 3" Mr.
Dickinson confessed that he too has been im-
posed On—that he listened to their professions
though his faith in them was notlargc. But
their recent conduct at Charleston and at
Baltimore, where they disappointed all Mr.
Dickinson‘s hopes of them, has so disgusted
him with “the Clique” that he now pro-
claims against them ctcrnal and uncompro-
mising war. ‘In this wrath he cxclaims :
NO, I shall hereafter make no efforts for
union where they are to be recognized, but
war upon any faction under theirtreachcrous
rulc,'and nothingbut faction will follow thcrr
lead.
“Twice have I sought Clan-Alpine‘s glcm
In peace, but. when I come again,
In come with banner, brand anti bow,
As leader seeks his mortal foe.”
After this declaration of perpetual hostility
was loudly applauded by Mr. Dickinson’s
audience, it is vain to talk, as some of the
Breckinridgc and Lane men do, of a Union
Democratic electoral ticket in this State. The
strife between the factions into which the
Democratic party is now split, is of too fierce
a. character tO allow of any harmonious or
effective union between them. The fight
must go on, and like that famous one of the
Kilkenny cats, its result will be their mutual
destruction.

him at the Head. Monday afternoon Mr. D. left Sn-
chem‘s Head and arrived at. the Tontine Hotel, New

address. At '6 o’clock, Mr. D. and suit left for Hart-

tlrc Breckenridge leaders succeeded beautifully in
tricking and selling the Douglaeitcs. For a number

The Chicago Zouaves in New York.
Many a day has passed since'your corres—
pondenf. has taken the opportunity Of corn-
muuicafing to you any subject interesting to
the mass; but perhaps some among your
readers will recollect the writer when they
see his mark. Among my last letters was
one touching the matter of mill/«try lruim‘ng,
and I then urged the necessity Of cruel disci-
pline. To-day, my theory was beautifully
put. in practice before an enthusiastic, intelli-
gent, and appreciative audience gathered at.
the N. Y. City Hall, by the appearance and
exhibition of the CHICAGO Zouxvns. Myself
brought up according to Military regime, I
witnessed the drill not only as a connoisseur,
but as one who expected a worthy spectacle,
and was disappointed in but one regard, it.
surpassed my ill-most concert. The Zouavcs
(whose enviable reputation had preceded
them,) arrived by the “Isaac Newton" from
Albany, at. half past. six o‘clock, A. M., and
were received by detachments of Artillery
from the Fourth regiment, and from the
Sixth, Infantry. The reception of the corps
was after the usual mode—demonstration of
cannon and cheers from either parly. They
breakfasted at. the Astor House. Among
others, Col. Butter-field of the Twelfth was
here introduced to their commundcr. Pas-
sing ovcr the interval duringwhich the Corn-
pany reposcd at the Armory of the Sixth, we
proceed to note them before the steps of the
City Hall.
The Zouaves are. a body of young men av-
eraging 21 years of age, and numbering
about 38, as a detachment. Thcyhavccome
from their \Vcstern homes to give New
Yorkers an exhibition of the “Zouave” mode
of drill, and most crcditably to themselves
have they done it. Their flesh looks healthy
and elastic, their joints are supple, their
bodies neatly built, and carry an case as yet
attained by no Military of the U. S. beside
them—indeed, the latter quality is so stri-
king as to become extraordinary, and seems
innate rather than a mere acquiremcnt. Gym-
nastics develop their muscles, and their
practice of rcposing, wrapped in their blan-
kets, upon the floor of their own Arsenal,
infies them to privation and to rigors our
soldiers fondly eschew. ,
As soldiers they are true to their title and
profession, for in this regard they are perfect.
Dressed in fire-full Zouave habit, flowing red
trowsers Of a bagg ' make, heavy raw-hide
gaiters and cream-colored leggings, blue sat-
in faccd vest, loose corsair jacket faced with
bell buttons, and a fairy-like red cap, rice the
“ fez,” and uccoutred with musket,knapsacks
and canteens, they present an airy and gal-
lant appearance to the eye, while their firm-
ness of bearing, their extreme care, and their
eracllludo in the carrying out Of commands
stamps them the no plus ultra. New York
has never, and perhaps during fire years will
never again behold so perfect, so astonishing
a military drill.
Tire Zouaves al'c commanded by COLE.
Ellsworth, a fine, firmly knit, but not tall
young man, of perhaps 23. Tire Manual is
Hardcc’s, with the exceptions which, for the
the sake of progress, precision and brillian—
cy, the drill-master has introduced. Those
innovations consist of the (llrrzlnbu. of time in
many motions Of the practice, and its good
effect is plainly observable in the just cu-
tlcnce which breaks upon the car and astou-
ishcs the senses at. the accomplishment of the
order. The whole squad preserve, and with
surprising case too, the precision of one file.
Tire firings and loadings were splendidly ex-
wcrc taught to glance from perfection to their
own falsitics. At the command “fire," but
one click was heard, and the ear accustomed
to bedivcrfcd by a cur-My of the same im-
pressive sound, vainly expectant, pronounced
in this instance, at. least, “ Othello’s occupa-
tion‘s gone." '
The “Field Movements“ were most va-
ried, both while (in a file and on a hunk line
of march, and the scattering into files, into
squads of fours, the obliquings, the double
quick consolidation into ranks again, and the
final rcsurnpti’on of the flank litre Of march,
by file into line, or by wheel into column,
evinced each man’s satisfaction and perfec-
tion in the work, as well as his thorough dis-
cipline; so also did the system Of skirmish,
that of scattering into direct line toward
any barrier, firing by mid and even files, in
kneeling posture, and advance in reserve, in«
dicatc the effectiveness Of the Zouave prac-
tice. At one time the company broke into
squads and files, the right and left wings
stretching a great distance apart, and at the
word of command, after scouting with fixed
bayoncts, rallied to the 'centre, and coming
together simultaneously, formed a living
pyramidal park of bright muskcts.
Tire Zouavernodc of attacking cavalry, or
of making approaches to a redoubt, was
shown by stretching apart the two wings on
a common line, prostrnting oncthe belly the
body, (the piece being directly in front,)
sighting and tiring. To load in this position
the body and piece are rolled over from the
right to left, the soldier upon his back, the
musket beside him, which when loaded he
brings with him to. his original position, at
command he fires, and up and advances up-
on the run. Military men of the highest
reputation here agree the Zouaves cannot be
excelled, and that some of our militia appear
but as a rabble in comparison.
The very mode Of drill is novelty and
must. yield interest to one who engages even
for the hundredth time. I wish you could
have belreid the picture presented by this
Company on Saturday. Imagine such a
company, with its vaunted celcrity Of move-
ment, trim of person, completeness of disci—
pline, on drill in New York, then suppose
15,000 people around, above, about the small
knot of' strangers, applauding eagerly, vocif-
erously, and I dare say you could appreciate
the picture without a Barnum to read its
beauties. All of us have witnessed drills
wherein a certain number of men, standing
as firm as “bricks" irrlinc, have gone through
the Inaupai for Infantry, and reaching the
command “ Charge" have executed it by lot-
_ting fall, in the left. hand, the musket. almost
horizontal, and ladvancing one slop forum-(l,
‘ have. thus shown the. greatest activity of' thc
troop—but. here is a body of young men with
necks devoid of the stiff black stocks of all-
cient use, now on the run with guns above
their heads charging at an enemy, then in
squares defending their positions against. an
overwhelming and pressing foe; then on the
retreat, suddenly changing front for the Ino-
mcnt. to sully and again full back; again,
breaking over all obstacles and joining in
body to follow Irp success. Such a sight is a
sight. indeed in New York (lily. One can
readily imagine scenes like these, and those
too of a wilder nature, occurring on a battle—
field, but can we there expect to find such
precision as that. shown by the Zonaves ‘3—

Tnn NORMAL SCHOOL—The universary
exercises in connection with the graduation
of the tenth class from this institutgon were
of a highly creditable and interesting order.
The class contained nineteen members, most
of whom had been connected with the school
three years. The several orations and essays
were, without exception, of high character
and-elevated tone and listened to by a very
large audience on the occasion with an unu
sual degree of satisfaction. The singing on
the occasion, conducted by Prof. Hunting—
ton was of the best order.
At the close of the exercises, the Hon.
Francis Gillette presented the Diplomas to
the several members of the graduating class
—-—prccecding the same by an exceedingly ap-

Vesicular morning we trud: the :--c~.tw;t‘:‘ti
train at florham, and went some for!) miles
down to South Paris, a little village nestled
among the hills of‘Mainc, and of course, glean
thrifty and Republican. And here we found
our coveted excitement. Banners were. fly-
ing, drums were beating, and it seemed as If
all the voters, pretty girls and fast horses of
Oxford County were gathered in Conventron.
A Lincoln ratification meeting for the Coun-
ty was to be held on the summit of Paris
Hill. Tire stand was to be in front of the
old house were Hannibal Hamlin was born,
elm trees that his hands planted in boyhood
were to shade the gathering. Burlingamc
”'9 “ill“L'ky“ was to speak; \Vashburn, now
candidate for Governor of Maine, was to in-
augurate the crmvass of the -“ Old Pine
State” and. lastly, Hannibal Ilamlin him-
sclfwas to come back to his early borne and
meet his Old friends and neighbors. So leav-
ing the cars we captured a wagon, and were
soon whirlmg away behind a fast. nag towards
the place of gathering. As we rose the frill-
sidc a scene of almost Eden beauty broke, on
our sight. Below us lay the village ofSnuth
Paris like a dimple of loveliness among the
mountains. Far to the South and North
wound the valley; the hillsides were green
with waving grain, and dotted with farm-
houses, and far away lay the giant. Wiritc

lines with the dark cloud banks that hung
around them. More eloquent than human
speech the scene spoke to us of the worth,
the. dignity, and the results of free wlntc in.-
her. Tire wind had gone down; the clouds
only shut out the heat, and we had the finest
day for an open air gathering you can con-
ceive. We gained the hill top and we found
that Maine was all alive. The roads leading
up were filled with long lines of coming wag-
onsfthe village green was swarming, and
hundreds of ladies were already seated before
the speakers’ platform. At eleven the meet-
ing began, and it is no exaggerations to say
that five thousand were gathered. From
farm and workshop they came, and even
Portland fifty miles distant on the sea coast,
over two hundred had journeyed thither. A
hundred Wide-Awakes were there, with their
glossy capes, their earnest purposes and their
loud ringing cheers.
This canvass will witness many noble gath-
erings in country and city. In thickly popu-
lated districts the thousands will be assembled
by tens and twenties; but there will be none
round which more of interest will center,
and which will waken a warmer pulse in
each Republican heart than that grand gath-
ering at Hamlin’s birth-place yesterday. He.
bind the platform was the old porch his in-
fant. feel: bad trod. Above us waved the old
elms he had planted, now grown to a man-.
hood as majestic as his own. Far beyond the
throng rose the roof of the printing-office
where his hand set the type, and where he in
early life had edited a paper fitly styled The
Jefiersom'un. He gave his first allegiance to
that Democracy of which Jefferson was the
apostle, and through the many years of his
public life, in all places and among all temp-
tations, how grandly faithful has he been to
the teachings of him who sleeps now in Mon-
ticello.
Israel Wuslrburn, jr., opened the meeting
by an address of an hour and a half. He
spoke logically, compactly; and cheer upon
cheer told how his earnest words went home
to the hearts and brains of the people. He is
to stump the entire State Of Maine during his
canvass for the Gubernatorial chair; and
wherever his voice is heard you may rely an
increased majority for Freedom. Ergo, it is
safe to put Maine down for from fifteen to
twenty thousand majority in September.—
After his speech, an adjournment was had
for dinner.
Tire villagers had opened their houses and
their larders. Liquor and profanity were not
plenty; but pretty girls, and hospitable men
good and continual “Wide-awake cheering,"
did abound.
At. 2 p. m. with our stomachs full and our
faces smiling, gathered again under the old
ehns. Gen Perry, the present popular Rep-
resentative of the Oxford District, introduced
as first speaker Hannibal Hamlin himself.—
Shall I say the people shouted as our next
Vice President stood before them?~ It will
not express the enthusiasm. Those who
were at Chicago and heard the tempest: of
applause that shook the Wigwam when Lin-
coln was nominated can realize the cheer-
ing that. g'reeted Hamlin yesterday. No
others can. \Vhen it. at last subsided from
sheer exhaustion, he spoke. His words were
few, simple, earnest; the speech was a fitting
type of the man. He thanked his neighbors
for coming up to the old homestead, and we
saw that his heart was full.
pointed to the venerable mansion, he paused
——we could see his eyes fill, and then with a
broken utterance in which will and heart-
werc “nestling, ire said that sorrow came
shadowing his gladness, for stranger feet trod
the old threshold,an(l stranger forms gathered
round the old hearthstone; and then as he
pointed away to where father and mother
and sisters were sleeping in the little church-
yard, through the mighty throng manly
breasts were heaving, and hard, yeoman
hands wiped Off the gathering tear. Not an
eye was dry, not a sound broke the death-like
silence; and with bared heads and touched
hearts we stood,forgetting the great statesman
seeing only the loving—hearted and true man.
After a few remarks reaffirming his fidelity
to the tenets of freedom, and pointing to his
record as his only pledge for the future, he
closed, and again the old frills echoed the
thunder of our cheering. God bless him! he
2'8 a man, and beyond that no word of praise
can be spoken.
The Hon. Anson Burlingamc followed in
a speech of nearly two hours. Rapidly, yet
completely, he sketched the financial policy
of the Administration, showing how blighting
is the effect of the slave influence upon the
commercial manufacturing anti monetary in-
terests of the country. Then, addressing him
self directly to the great issue of the canvass
ire plead for freedom in words that riveted
every man and woman in his hearing. His
voice, new low and gentle, and now ringing
out like a. clarion, fell on us like a spell, and
it seemed as though he was talking to each
one of us separately, urging us to stand up
like men and do battle for the right. As his
sentences fell, you could see the hands of his
hearers almost clenched in their determina-
tion, and their eyes flash fire. And when he
closed we Were silent for a. moment, and then
the applause ‘carnc almost like the grand
Amen that swells up at the end of a noble
chant.
Tire Hon. Elijah Hamlin, elder brother of
Hannibal, and the Hon. Wm. Gilman, fortn-
erly M. C. from this district,also spoke. The
former was full of humor, the latter of corn-
pact, earnest logic, and both made effective
speeches. _'
The meeting was closed by a half hour‘s
address from Stewart. L. Woodford, Of New
York, who appealed to the young men of
Maine to consecratc their early manhood to
the cause of freedom and humanity. Himsel f
a young man, his plea seemed to meet a most
earnest. reception. And then, after cheers
from the Wide Awakes the band struck up.
slowly the multitude scpamted,& We. all part-
