WIDE AWAKE BUPPB R.
One of the most really and substantially
agreeable incidents Of the entire campaign,
was the “closing up," on Friday night last, at
the Wide Awake‘s Hall. The Ladies, with
the quietus of ministering angels, had pre-
pared a sumptuous supper and extended
cards of invitation to every member of the
Club to be present and bring his sweet-heart.
The quiet surprise of the affair was not its
least agreeable feature. Two tables, of sixty
feet in length each, were spread through
their Hall, and two hundred Wide Awakes
and Ladies sat down to their supper. Rob-
ert Ells, was called to the chair, and intro-
duced Cyrus Northrop to the assembly, who
occupied the time (while the guests were be-
ing helped to their hot Coffee, Oysters, &c.,)
in a neat and appropriate speech.
The viands being disposed of, Wm. A.
Crofi'ut, of the Danbury Jefl‘ersom’an, was
called out and made an earnest and patriotic
address, closing by precipitating ourselves
upon the audience. We had just been
charged with the agreeable duty of present-
ing a gorgeously decorated loaf of fruit cake
to Capt. Henry M. Stanton. As the worthy
Captain rose to his feet, the “house came
down” in compliment to him, with one of
those burst of applause such as the Wide
Awake boys alone know how to give. His
modest, unassuming manners, yet efficient
and thorough management of his Club, have
challenged the admiration of all its members.
David Comstock, Esq., then took the floor
and kept the company in a roar Of laughter
and applause for nearly half an hour, and
was followed by Dr. Hill, who addressed a
few words of comfort and compliment to the
boys, when Edgar A. Finney was called out
and wound up the intellectual part of the
entertainment in a neat and comprehensive
speech worthy the shades of Yale. Cheers
were then given for Capt. Stanton ; for Lin-
coln and Hamlin; for the Norwalk Ladies
whose hospitalities had been so largely en-
joyed; for Tom Clark, of the Winsled Herald,
whose donation of apples from the Banner
Town of Litchfield County to the Banner
Town of the State, graced the tables; for the
bachelor Editor of the Danbury Jefl‘ersom'an,
who was present, the.
This feast of reason and flow of soul con-
cluded—the tables and room were cleared in
double quick time, the Old people who chose
"retired," and the young folks fell to trip-
ping the light fantastic toe, with the most
“cheerful alacrit V,” which was continued up
to about the fiist morning hours, when all
dispersed as “merry as a marriage bell."
This little impromptu affair, gotten up by
the Norwalk Ladies, was not only a richly
deserved compliment to our gallant Wide
Awakes, but was so successfully and pleas-
antly carried out, that it has challenged their
lasting gratitude. All in all, it was one of
the most successful and pleasant exhibitions
of good feeling we ever saw attempted in
Norwalk, and its influence will not be lost to
our noble cause. '

they were justly entitled to. Mr. Ferry went
down to “ make merry" with them. The
Wide Awakes of this town have accomplish-

routed this hitherto impregnable fortress of
the enemy. To the long continued, patient
and practical efforts of Senator Curtis-too,
are we greatly indebted for the progress we

Dammit—Flora Temple and Widow
MeCree had a trot on Kenosia Lake Course
last Thursday, Flora winning, of course, in
2:39, 2:37, and 2:33. The time would have
been better if the horses had trotted faster—
tliough it was claimed that the corners of the
track could not be turned at a higher rate of
speed. The “ Widow,” though no match for
Flora, trotted well. Her best time ever made
was 2:26,sharp enough for anything but Flora.
She is owned by the immortal and invincible
Isaiah Rynders, who was present and attrac-
ted quite as much attention as his horse,
She was raised in Orange Co., N. Y., and

racing spirit so rife in Danbury on Thursday,
took it into their heads to run away. The
Lilliputian General was inside, looking a
good deal worried, the little driver lost his
hat, and the attendant, after giving some
specimens of rapid travelling, caught the ex-
cited Slietlands, and brought them up in
front of Tom‘s Hotel all right.

WStebbius, the baggage master on the
N. Y. &. N. H. Railroad, and the two brothers
Roberts of New York, who have lately been
confined in the jail in Bridgeport charged
with the express robbery of last summer,
were taken to Danbury Thursday, for exam-
ination before the Superior Court, and bound
over in $12,000 bonds each to take their trial
at the December term. As the bonds mean,
(being interpreted) a remanding back to
Bridgeport, they wore safely escorted thither.
A man named Porter Kellogg was arrest-
ed at Amberst,Mass, Thursday,0n the charge
of being one of the parties concerned in the
express robbery. He was taken to Danbury
to be put to plea before the Superior Court on
Friday. It is stated that some of the Inoncy
stolen was found upon him, which he tried to
conceal while being searched. Mr. K. was
for several years a police officer in Springfield.
The express company advertise that they
have traced $7000 of the stolen money to
where it was exchanged for $20‘s and $50’s
of the Alfred Bank, Maine, and that the com-
pany will endeavor to reclaim the same wher-
ever found.

W A good story is told of one of the El-
ephants wintering at Smith’s menagerie barn
at the head of Main Street. Her Elephan-
tine ladyship, who rejoices in the dulcet
name of Mary, took it into her capacious
head to take a sniff of fresh morning air. So
unlocking the chains about her feet, she pro-
ceeded to the barn door, which being also
locked, she bore 011‘ from the hinges, as Samp-
son did the gates of Gaza, thence passing on
to the field gate, that was broken off in the
same summary manner. Her ladyship then
passed on to a neighboring house, where she
halted and gave three taps across the shutter
which had the effect summoning the family
to the front window, where the elongated
countenance which presented itself is said to
have sent the whole family flying out the rear
of the house. Miss Elephant soon espicd a
quantity of apples in the yard, to which she
passed and devoted herself, (without the least
effort on the part of the family towards sa-
ving their fruit,) until the keeper arrived
and returned the truant with a trunk full of
pippins.

ted. Knowing Mr. Thompsonto be a rank
Democrat, the Wide Awakes cheered vehe-
mently at the supposed conversion of one
political heathen, and soon after meeting Mr.
Thompson, he received the warm congratu-
lations of his Republican neighbors at his
accession to their ranks. But Mr. Thomp-
son had been absent from his house, did not
know of the illumination, and had not intend-
ed any particular compliment to the Repub-
lican party, and, above all, had not changed
hisDemocraticcoat within twenty-four hours
that he knew of, and so he stamped his Dem¥
ocratic feet forcibly to that effect. It turned
out that Barnum had invited Mr. Thompson
to his house to see the procession, getting his
neighbor, to absorb his attention, while he,
(Barnum) ran to Thompson’s house and il-
luminated it throughout. But the joke didn’t
end here, for while Mr. Johnson was aiding
to carry it out, his own house, (and be a
good Democrat!) was also kindly illumina-
ted by Mr. Barnum. Both of the victims
were at first slightly indignant, but,like scu-
sible men, finally joined in a hearty laugh-'at
the joke.

of'tliosc who study in this ancient Soul. of ,

more than 50 years upon licr,& with the long
line of holy men She has sent forth into the
gospel vlncyard, she rejoices today in the
great moral triumph which has been achieved
in the election of Abraham Lincoln,‘ nor in
acknowledging this does she fear of tarnish-
ing her reputation “one whit."
When you seeold men, who have spent
their lives in battling for the truth as given
in the holy scriptures, hailing with boyish
enthusiasm the election of 11- President, and
illuminating their houses in honor of she
event, you may be sure that there must be
'connected therewith something of a- moral
triumph.
The Wednesday evening after the election
witnessed an illumination, the like ofwhicli
Andover Hill never saw before, and which
she may never see again,cspecially if Toombs
an 9- Chestnut will dissolve the Union, In
particular the Seminary Buildings exhibited
a brilliancy as splendid, in a moral pointbf
view, as
—-“'I‘he light miraculously shed,
0n Mons" face, as down the mount he "trod,
All glowing from the presence ofhis God,"
for the lights that shone out in the darkness
of that night were but emblematic of the
same kind of moral light, which going-forth
from these sacred halls has illuminated all
partspf the world. i
The students sent to Boston and procured
some fifteen hundred candles, and resolved,
in the name of all that was good, to have a
grand display. In one of the buildings the'
candles were so arranged as to read “in let-
ters of living light,” the names of “Lincoln:
and Hamlin," while another building pre--
sented the lighted lore, “Veritas Vincit,"
(which the classical scholars of the Union
School will translate.) Each building pre-
sented a front of thirty eight windows, with
twelve lights or more in each window, af-
fording abrillianl display which must haVe
been conspicuous from afar.
One could not help remembering the words
of Shakspcare which he puts in the mouth of
Portia :
How far the little candlcahines,
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
The “good deed,” of course, was the election
of Abe Lincoln. The shouts that were ut-
tered, as lusty as any that ever broke
upon the air, wore not the blind hurrah of
mere names, but the exultiiig, jubilant ac-
clames of truth, which so long crushed to
earth, at last rises again.
The Wide Awakcs, with a band of music
came upon the grounds and gave the stu-
dents cheers. thrcat, Prof. Stowe made
some remarks,exprcssive of cordial sympathy
with their enthusiasm. He said he had been
looking forward to this day for forty years
He thought the day had cmnc twenty years
ago, when Gen. Harrison was elected, but he
died after a fortnight, and Tyler was worse
than nobody. He thought the day ofjubilce
had come once more when Gen. Taylor was
elected, but he had to die also, and left us
with Fillmore, and we were not much, better
off than before. Now' Lincoln had been
elected, and he was young and tough, they
could not get rid of him so easily. The bear-
by whootuflbat went up. in response betokened
that lliel'e were those p'l'cnunt who contagnami
“nothing more. '
By,'the,'way, this same
ago carried a brother Prof. three or four
milesto yote, and, at the polls, finding that
he ’vot’é'd the Fillmore ticket, instead of the
orthodox Republican docket, he turned, went
for his carriage and drove back to Andover
alone, leaving his brother to rue his vote and
find return as he could. That is something
of the same old puritanical spirit which
would have no fellowship with evil. Some-
thing of the same admirable zeal which pos-
sessed a sister-in—law of Mr. Lincoln, upon.
the night of the illumination in this place, to
illumine her house with unusual brillian-
cy,’ although she had to oppose the deter-
mined obstinacy of her husband and sons,
staunch democrats.
It isa comforting thought for the credita-
bility of the ministry, that the whole semina-
ry with source an exception, rejoiced in this
proud triumph, because it was a triumph of
principle and right over sin, with all
its chameleon hues. Because it is a signal
that the fires .of freedom and justice will
once more glow with warmth on the hearths
of the “capitol as long ago they burned in the
better days of Washington. J. W. H.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
Enrrons or THE NOBWALK GAZETTE—
Tlie Bridgeport Farmer in its issue of the 2d
of Nov., states that a lumber and coal dealer
at Portcliester, N. Y.., discharged a good and
worthy man frein his employ for no other
reason than that he took part in a Democrat-
ic demonstration last Frida night. The on-
ly lumber and coal dealers in this place are
Messrs. Peck 8:. Brush. who have not dis-
charged any of their employees for_ taking
part in the “Democratic (lenionstration,"_ or
Jim any other causejor- a twelve-month. It is a
bit of romance which the Farmerman seems
prone to indulge in pretty often. 3‘
WWe insert the above, but know the
Hunter man will feel‘ticklal, that its - false-
hoods are deemed of sufficient consequence
down in Portclicstcr to call for contradiction.

Lixcomi’s VOTE 1N 'rna Son'rn.—-ln 1856,
Mr. Fremont got ,only 1,194 votes in all the
Smith—281 in Maryland, 308 in Delaware,
. 291 in Virginia, and 314 in Kentucky; Mis-
souri gave him no votes, the republican
strength that had been developed there three
months before, in the election of Frank Blair
to Congress, going to swell the Fillmore col-
umn. We believe 30,000 votes have now
been given in the South direct to Mr. Lincoln
and to say that at least as many more did not
vote for him through a desire to use Bell in
defeating the broken democrocy, is no idle

POPUL‘K" on or Ohio—The population of
Ohio, according to the recent census,is 2,344,-
000 in round numbers; being an increase
of 364,000 cver 1850, or, nearly 19 per cent.
Taking the estimates of numerous eminent
statisticians, which puts the aggregate popu—
lation of the states at 29,000,000, the ratio of
representation in Congress, there being two
hundred and thirty-three members, would be
123,000, which would entitle Ohio, with her
2,344,000, as before stated, to nineteen Con-
gressmen, being a loss of two.
Should the ratio be as stated, Connecticut
would have enough for three congressmen,
and about ninety thousand over, sufficient to
retain her four members; ' ' 3‘ '

. _ The Panic. "
The Norwich Bulletin truly says of the
New York Herald, that it has been assert-
ing from day to day that the present finan-
cial difficulties have resulted solely from the
madness of the Republicans in insisting up-
on the clection of'tlier candidate to the pres-r
idency. In a late, issue, however, it eats its
own words by ascribing the panic to the
working of natural causes connected with
the expansion of the cotton crop is the South
for the past few years. It states that the in-
inereased demand for cotton and negroes has
induced the planters to make greater outlays
than‘cominon on improvements and on he-
groes, and hence they have no money left to
meet the deficiency caused by the short crop
of the present year“.- It says that this has
long been its opinion. Then how itliasbecn
lying.

THE SUGAR ESTATES or CUBA.—FI‘0I1] a
work on the Cuban sugar estates, by Charles
Rebello, British vice consul at Cardenas, it
appears that there were in full operation in
Cuba. last season 1365 estates, which pro-
duced 1,127,348.750 pounds, equal to 663,674
tons of sugar, worth $45,093,860. Of these
1365 plantations 949 use steam power in
grinding the cane, 7 water power, and 409
ox powéi, in the old primitive style, The
extent of land planted with came on these
plantations, is 691,917 acres, while the area
on the estates used for other purposes, viz:
cattle fields, fruit, vegetable gardcn,&c.,coin-
prises 1,289,650 acres, or nearly double the
quantity used for cane. The crop of' sugar
the present year is expected to yield 153,500
boxes more than last.

sum of $90,000 is still due on the cost of con-
struction, and though her receipts in this
country were $75,000, yet that. is swallowed
up, as it will cost $80,000 before she is ready

-——~—A distinguished merchant of Mobile,
when making his fall purchases in New York
a short time since, was asked, “How are you
going to vote ‘3” He replied, "I shall of
course, vote for Breckinridgc, but I believe
Lincoln will be president, and for one reason
I shall be glad of it,“ When asked for that.
one reason, he said, “Because, next spring,
when I come to tliecity mmin, I shall be free
to buy my goods where I find the prices
lowest, and wlieu I go back there will be no
questions asked and no persecutions to be
endured. This is the answer which Mobile
made to, the New York fusionists. ,

WEALTH or, GEORGIA—Tho total amount
of taxable property reported in Georgia this
year is $672,322,177. According to the cen-
sus Of 1859 there was a fraction 0ch 561,000
free white inhabitants; and it is a reasonable
calculation that the. increase in ten years will
swell tliat‘nuinber to at least 550,000. These
figures will show the fact, that if the taxable
property in the State was equally divided
among the people, the amount for each free
white man, woman andchild would be will:-
in a fraction of $1,224.

Columbia, S. (‘., chncsduy evening, focclc-
bratc scccssion, and cx~Spcakcr Orr made a
spcccli cspousing the accession of South (far-
oliiia alone; that tbcgm'ernor of Florida had
fclcgi'apbcd that Florida goes with South
Carolina; that sevcral officers of the army
and navy liavc scul. in flicir resignations,and
will accept appointincnia iindcrlhc governor
l
I of South Carolina; that the demand for fire-
arms is great, even the women purchasing
revolvers, and that. large orders for arms and
ammunition have becii sent East; that South
Carolina is decided, and there is not a single
influential man in the stale opposed to seces-
sion; that the mayor of Charleston has dis—
charged the laborers on the public works for
lack of money to pay them; that Patrick
Hays, English, was shipped off North for ’in-
ccndiary remarks ;‘ that Gov. Wise of Vir-
ginia is pronounced insane, as he has evident-
1y been for- a long time; and that, the most
active man among the South Carolina seces-
sionists is Edward Rufiin of Virignia, a ven-
erable, white haired man, and a John Brown
in‘fanafacism and boldness, only on the other
an e.
' On the other hand a grand Union demon-
stration is soon to take place in Boone or
Randolph county, Mo.; the Union demon-
strations in Georgia and Kentucky are hav-
ing a grand counteracting influence in restor-
ing confidence to financial and governmental
circles; Senator Toombs of Georgia has not
resigned—“worse luck ;” Herschel V. John-
son is at Atlanta, Ga., "humiliated, but has-
madc up his mind to submit ;” the Georgia
legislature is not likely to take any steps to-
ward disunion ; Gen. Millson memberof Con-
gress from Virginia, and W. R. W Cobb,
member from Alabama, have both pronoun-
ced decidedly against disunion; Chief Justice
Taney re-choes the sentiments of AmosKen-
dall,aud denounces every attempt to break
up the Union as treasonable in the last degree.
The discrepancy in the accounts about the
action of the South Carolina legislature as to
suspension of specie payments is explained
by statement that an act was pas‘d suspending
the penalties against suspension, providedit
takes place in consequence of war with the
United States—Messrs Corcoran & Riggs,
the largest banking firm south of Mason and
Dixon’s line, predict that business operations
will reurn to their tenor in less than sixty
days, when the South shall return to its sen-
ses and behold its prostrate business interests.
A letter from a strong cotton house in
Charleston states that there is really no unan-
imity, even in South Carolina, for secession;
business men, artizans, mechanics, and all the
professional classes are opposed to it, but
have no chance to make themselves heard
during the present clamor.
A Charleston bank telegraphed to the New
York Bank of Commerce on Thursday, the
question, “What will our bills sell for in case
of secession ?” The emphatic reply was,
“Won’t sell."—Tlie grain dealers of Chicago
have begun to answer orders from the best
houses in New Orleans and Baltimore with-
cash orders from the South—A call his been
issued fora meeting of the citizens of Dor-
ehester county, one of the largest slavehold-
iug counties in Maryland, “for the purpose of
condemning the disunion policy of certain
southern states,and expressing a devotion and
a determination to sustain Mr. Lincoln in the
administration of the government.
Some of the southern Union papers make
sport of the blustercrs. Says the Vicksburg
(Miss) Whig :—“ The Breckinridge secession
office-holders of Mississippi have not yet re-
signed, but are diawiug their salaries from
‘accursed overnuicnt’ with remarkable reg-
ularity. eff. Davis has not yet declared
hiinsclfemperor of'Mississippi. The startling
rumor that O. R. Singleton had percinptorily
declined to return to Washington during a
republican administration, and that he had
resigned his seat in Congress, is utterly with-
out foundation. Wc feel justified in stating
that the federal Office-holders in Mississippi
will not go out of the Union until all arrear-
agcs are paid."

A Great Blessing to the Afflicted.
Dr. M’Lauc, the inventor of the celebrated
Liver Pills, preparcn by Fleming Bros.,Pitts-
burgh, Pa.. used these Bills for several years
in his practice before he could be induced to
offer them to the pa blic in such a manner as
to make them known throughout the coun-.
try, This learned physician felt the same
rcpugnaucc that all high-iiiinded men of sci-
ciicc feel in entering the lists against those
unscrupulous cuipirics who obtrude their use-
less nostrums upon the public, and rely upon
a system of pulling to sustain them. Con-
vinced. however, of the real value of the
Liver l’ils, and influenced by the plain dic-
tales of duty,thc Doctor finally authorized
Fleming Bros. of Pittsburgh, Pa., who are
now the sole proprietors, to manufacture and
place them before the public. This great
medicine has not disappointcn the expecta-
tions of his friends, the medical faculty, at
whose instance he was tnduccd to place them
before the public in their present popula
form. From every quarter (lo we hear the
most gratifying accounts of their wonderful
curarivo effects—the East and the West, the
North and the South, are alike laden with
"tidings of great joy" from the afflicted.—
These wonderful Pills have completely con-
quered the great scourge of America, the
Liver complaint.

THE TRIBUNE FDR 1861.
PROSPECTUS.
The XXth Volume of the Weekly Tribune
commenced with the issue of Sept. 1. Dn-
ring the past year The Tribune _has been
obliged to devote a large proportidn of its
space to Politics, but _we shall soon be able
to forego Political discussion almost entirely
for months, if not for‘years, and devote near-
Ily all our columns to subjects of less intense
but more abiding interest. Among those,
we meanto pay especial attention to, .
' 1. EDUCATION—Tile whole subject of Ed-
ucation, both Popular and General, will be
discussed in our columns throughout the
year 1861, and we hope to elicit in that dis-
cussion some of the profoundest thinkers and
the ablest instructors in our country. It is
at once our hope and our resolve ,that the
cause of Education shall receive an impetus
from the exertions of The Tribune in its be-
half during the year 1861. .
II. AGRICULTURE—We ,have been com-
pelled to restrict our elucidation of this great
subject throughout 1860, and shall endeavor
to atone therefor throughoutlSBl. .Whatev-
a
er
ted to. cultivation more ample or mere ~cer-.
tain, shall receive our full-and. prompt atten-
tion. .-. : ..
III. )IANUFACTURES, &c.—We hailevery
invention or enterprise whereby American
fageously employed in any department of
Manufacturingor Mechanical Industry as a
real contribution to the Public Weal, insu-
ring ampler, steadier, more convenient, more
i‘eniuneruting markets to the Farmer, With
fuller employment and better wages to the
laborer. The procress of Iron Mining, Steel-
Making, Cloth W caving, &c., &c., in our
country and the world, shall be watched
and reported by us with an earnest and active
sympathy.
IV. FOREIGN Assaults—We cmplo . the
best correspondents in London, Paris, uriii,
Berlin and other European Capitals, to
transmit us earl ' and accurate advices of the
great changes t ere silently but certainly
preparing. In spite ofthe pressure of Do-
mestic Politicspur News from the Old World
is now varied and ample i. but ivc shall have
to render it more perfect in the eventfui year
just before us.
V. Hem: News—We employ regular paid
correspondents in California, at the Isthmus
of Darien, in the Rock Mountain Gold Re-
gions, and wherever c so they seem requi-
site. From the niorc accessible portions of
our own country, we derive our information
mainly from the multifarious correspondents
of the Associated Press, and our exchanges,
and the occasional letters of intelligent
friends. We aim to print the cheapest gene-
al newspaper, with the fullest and most au-
thentic summary of useful intelligence, that
is anywhere afi‘ordcd. Hoping to make each
“day a critic on the last," and, prfnt a better
and better paper from year to year, as our
means are steadily enlarged throu h the gen-
erous cooperation of our many we lwishers,
we solicit, and shall labor to deserve, a con-
tinuance Of public favor.
