IIil-IIS article has been thoroughly tested by builders, Architects, and others, and the experience of years has proved it to be the cheapest and most- durable roofing in use. We call attention to the following facts : lst—It is fire and water proof. 2d—From its great elasticity it is not inju- riously affected by extremes Of heat and cold. 3d—It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs, whether steep or flat, and is not in want of constant repairs, as is the case with metal and other roofs. ' 4th—.—Tllc cost is only about One-Half that of Tin, and it is twice as durable. ‘ it is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs, without removing the shingles, which is a great desidcratum to parties who do not wish to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru- ined, while repairs are being made. Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re- paired witli Gutta I’erclia Cement, and prevented from further corrosion and leaking thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof for many years. Specimens of the Rcofing can be seen by calling on the subscriber, at South Norwalk. All orders by letter will receive prompt at- tention. D. F. HUNT, South waalk. INSURANCE.

HARDWARE, &C.. so, ' battery hardly more than a h The Mid-Watch. BY BAYARD TAYLOR. I pace the deck in the dead of night, When the moon and starlight fail, And the cordagc creaks in the lazy swells, And heavily flaps the sail. On the darkness glimmers the binnacle lamp, With a feeble and lonely spell; No sound but the passing sentry’s tramp, 0r his measured cry: “All’s well.” To and fro with accustomed step. I walk in the night alone, And I think of the thousand watches kept In the years forever flown; 0f the friends in whose manly fellowship I labored long ago, Q 'Till death relieved their watch on earth, And they went to rest below. I think offhe gallant ones who died When our broadside shook the sea, And sorrow for them subdued the pride or our cheers of victory; Or of those who fell in the fevered lands, 0r sank in the whelming wave; Whose corpses waste on the barren sands 0r float in a fathomless grave. As the looks revive that were faint and dim In the shadow of the years ; And I scan them o’er till my eyelids swim With the strange delight of tears; . They people the dark with their pallid brows, As they silently throng around, And the sea its phospor radience throws 0n the faces of the drowned. So many a noble heart is cold That shared my duties then, I have looked fall off in the face of Death, But he comes to better men; And let him come in his chosen time, Some friends will think of me, And I shall live in the lonely hours, Of his midnight watch at sea. <¢.>~ Baby’s Complaint of her Nurse. 0h, mother, dear mother, no wonder I cry, More wonder by far that your baby don‘t die: No matter what ails me—no matter who’s here; No matter how hungry the poor little dear ? No matter if full, or all out of breath, She trots me, and trots me, and trots me to death. I love my dear nurse, but I dread that great knee; I like all her talk; but we unto me, She can‘t be contented with talking so pretty, And washing and dressing and doing her duty; And that‘s very well, I can bear soap and water, Biit,~mother, she is an unmereiful trotter. Oh, dear, is that she? Is she coming so soon! She‘s bringing my dinner with tea-cup and spoon ; She‘ll hold with one hand, in t’other the cup. And so fast as it’s down, she’ll just shake it, up; And thumpity thump, with the greatest delight, Her heel is going from morning till night. All over the house you may hear it, I am sure, Trot trotting! Just think what I’m doomed to en- dure. Child’s Paper.. .<.>. it?“ We copy the following glowing trib- ute to our noble Third Regiment of Volun- teers, from the Washington special corres_ pondence of the N. Y. World, of Thursday the 81h inst. The writer, Ned Stedmnn, was present at the Battle of Bull’s Run, and con- tributed to the World, the most elaborate and accurate account of the Battle of any published: Story of a Gallant Regiment. We are also arriving slowly at the truth as to the sequel of the battle, and the manner in which our rear-guard, from the field to to Ccntreville, performed its duty. It is not too late to give honor to whom honor is due. Yesterday the Third Connecticut Regiment deposited its arms in the arsenal, the terms of enlistment having expired, and will probably ' start for the North to-day. This corps was the last to leave the field of Bull Run, and, by hard fighting, had to defend and to protect our scattered thousands for several miles of the retreat. Blcnker‘s Brigade, in reserve, of course ful~ filled its, duty, and has been lauded for so doing. But let me briefly give the day’s story of this Third Connecticut corps, a regi- ment, actually engaged in the battle, which retreated grimly and dangerously repelling the advancing foe. The only regi- ment realy menaced by the enemy, it was almost the only one which did not share in the panic. About 11 A. M. when Tyler or- dered up the last of his brigades, under Colo- nel Keyes, the Third Connecticut advanced with the rest by the right, skirting along the edge of the woods until it overtook Hunter’s division and the heat of the battle. mile and a half was done at doublequick, and by the time the Connecticut boys came under fire they were already half incapacita- ted for fighting by fatigue and thirst. But the brave Colonel Chatfield led them forward under- orders, until they charged, as l have 1 before recorded, the rebels posted on the slope so visible from all portions of the field. The enemy retired before them, retreating into some woods beyond a farm-house. At this moment some of the Connecticut men thought they discerned a Union fiag,an(l tho‘t they were attacking their own friends. Col. Chatfield accordingly ordomd the stars and stripes to be displayed, and the color-captain mounted a fence by t'ze farm-houses and un- rolled the Standard. In an instant a terrific tempest of‘sllol and shell burst from a hidden red yards ahead. This afterward prove to be the heaviest battery served by the rebels during the day. The Third were unable to maintain their ground ; many dropped, dead orwound- ed, and the line fell back to a read, while the balls passed close over theirhcads. A charge of the enemy‘s cavalry would have effectual- ly muted them at this moment, but ere long they reached a safer place, where they re- mained until] an order came to retire across the Run. It was between 3 and 4 P. M. when this command was executed in perfect order, our boys wading through the stream to their waists. They say that it seemed a river of Paradise, so fearfully were they suffering from thirst and heat; but on they moved, through the woods, to a point in the rear of the commencement of the battle—near the building on the Centerville road used as a hospital for our wounded. Up to this moment they had suppose! the victory decided for the loyal cause, had not the least suspicion that they were the last regiment in a disastrous retreat from the field. But now a horseman rode in, shouting that that the enemy’s cavalry Were in the road below, and that our day was lost. On this Colonel Cliatfield ordered his men, broken by the woods and almost dead with exhaus- tion, to form in such order as they could and cover the retreat. General Tyler and Colo- nel Keyes—botli in the thickest of the fight throughout that eventful day—had joined them, and were thus the last to leave the spot. 80 they emerged on the road, saw it strewn with the wreck of the panic, finding wagons, gun-carriages, caissons is what not left in wan- ton confusion. Two brass rifled pieces were The last § lying dismounted. They took horses from army wagons, yoked them to caissons, strap- ped, the guns with chains underneath the lat- ter, and so saved from falling into the ene- my’shands. The majority of the regiment Were now moving toward Centreville in ' some confusion, too worn out to do anything else; but Tyler and Keyes, with Colonel Chatfield, Captains Harland and Lewis, and a few other company officers whose names I have not learned, formed a line of fifty or I - seventy-five men, In the extreme rear, to resist the enemy’s cavalry, which now swept down the road to harass them. Elva or six times the rebel horse charged upon that. handful of brave men, and each time were repulsed by a determined fire, which emptied many a saddle. And this is the way in which our retreat from the battle-field was covered. The last charge was sustaind at the Cub Creek bridge, a mile from Centreville, and the Third them toiled on their way unmolest- ed fully expecting to pass the night in the village. How easily our 35,000 men might have so halted ! They could have held Cen- treville, all the territory gained in the preced- ing week, till reinforcements of 50,000 men had made the next advance a surely. But it is too late for regrets. The labors of the Third Connecticutdid not end here. Though so wearied that one officer of the regiment says that $10,000 and a colonelc y at Vienna would not have induced him to march there for it, they were pushed right along by orders and reached their old camp at Falls Church after daylight on Monday morning. Here they found the Ohio camps, at which the First and Second Ohio had refused to pause in their retreat. Tents, stores and munitions were here all abandoned—property amount- ing in value to $200,000—land Col. Chatfield ordered his men to take hold and save it.— Sending' to Alexzhidria for a special train, they worked all day loading it with the de- serted Ohio property, sent it off, and march- ed away themselves, just in time to escape the vanguard of the pursuing enemy, and reached Arlington that evening. Such is the record of a regiment now dis- banding. I should be proud to have been a private in the Conificticut Third. 0‘.-. PUBLIC ACTS. PASSED MAY SESSION, 1861. An Act relating to the Militia.
