The Nation Lives.

Never, since the World began, has a civil
edict, so far-reaching and mighty in its im-
port, fallen upon human ears, as PnnsrnnNT

. LINCOLNs Pnocnmrrox or Emanu-
TION, which we publish to-day! . Henceforth
rnn NATION Lrvns t “ GOD amass Annuals
LINCOLN,” and let all the people shout Anus!

In this, the most solemn and momentous
declaration the world has ever witnessed, we
read not alone the enfranchisement of a
race; a nation of human beings, but God’s
just retribution upon those wicked conspira-
tOrs who in rapine and murder, throttled Li-
berty, and by Liberty aremade to perish. The
Haman of slavery erects its gallows for the
annihilation of Freedom but itself swings
thereon. “Of the rightfulness and righteous-
ness of this Proclamation,” says the Albany
Journal, “we have no doubt or shadow of
doubt. Slavery is thecause of a rebellion
Which has cost us millions Of treasure and
hetacombs of lives. This rebellion against a
government which protected and cherished
alike the rights and interests of all the states

I has neither justification nor excuse. The

hrfeiture of slaves will be alight penalty for
so great a crime.

In its sublime magnitude, every earnest,
loyal heart of our land, will equally rejoice
with the christian and patriot throughout
the civilized world; and in it, all will read
not only prophesies of “peace on earth, good.
Will to men” but a new era in civil govern.
ment, and a higher and nobler and purer at-
: I tainment Ofvnationaiity. Let God be devout-

——of rivers of blood and treasure, poured out
_ in efforts to arrest this most heinous and
I causeless rebellion, we have the rainbow
gleam of a newborn destiny—a national life,
consecrated anew to Justice, to Km,
to LIBERTY! .
The debased and disloyal will reprobate
the act, as they have every other act of the
Government likely to weaken their allies.

I The timid and time serving, will crank and
criticise and express doubts and fears as to
its ultimate results, as if the rebels could be
any mere united, or exasperated than they
now are, or as if a year and ahalf ofcoaxing’
“not hurting anybody" policy did not suffice.

. Twice have the treason stained hordes
thundered at our Capitol gates—and through-
out all the long, weary months of the dire
rebellion have we stood only to ward oh and
defend. At length the concentrated power
of this free and mighty Republic is hurled
upon its enemies—henceforth the war is to
I be waged in earnest, with ALL the means
God has given us, for the utter destruction of
the revolt—for the EXTERMINATION or TREA-
SON! And while the wickedly disloyal and
the weak and indifferent in our midst, foam
and fret in their bewildered amazement, the
Christian, the Patriot, the Statesmen, see in
this act of President Lincoln (which shall
forever bind his name and memory to Wash-
ingtonas the second savior of his country)
oncjustifiedby the Rebellion! By the revolt
of the insurgents they have “Constitutionally”
placed slavery in the power of the President.
Devoid of power as he was to touch the na-
tional leprosy in time of peace, their own as-
saults upon the national life, have made it a
constitutional, yea, an nrrnnmUs Necessrrr,
to throttle the monster and forever end its

existence!

“GOD BLESS Amman LINCOLN," and
speed on the day, when from eastern to
western ocean, and from the Arctic zone to
the gulf, this great and glorious nation shall

Death of Conductor Nichols.

Our whole travelling community were
shocked, pained on Thursday last,by the an-
nouncement that John C. Nichols, the Con-
ductor on our Norwalk special train, had
been killed at the Greenwich Bridge on his
morning trip up from the city. Being miss-
ed by the employees, the train we run back
to the tide water bridge just this side Green-
wich station, where he was found lying
near the upper abutmentr—dead.
Appearances indicated that he had attempt-
ed to look out from the platform,and his head
had thus came in contact with the bridge;
but his own immediate relations who are
aware of his having been troubled for many
years with heart disease, are of opinion that
he was seized with a fit. while passing the
platforms and received his external injuries
as he fell. Be this as it may, there has pass--
ed away "in a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye” a most noble and generous hearted
man, of whom we do not believe an ungener-
I one word wasever spoken. He leavesa wife,
who can only mourn his loss more deeply,

‘ Entertainment at Ely’s Hall.
The patriotic ladies of South Norwalk, un-
wcaried in their exertions in behalf of the
sickand wounded of our army, have prepar-
ed a, Musical and Tableau Entertainment, to
come ofi‘ at Ely‘s Hall onWednesday Evening.
The programme promises more than. ordina-
ry interest and we hope a generous public
- will heartily second the nobleefl‘orts of these
ladies. Don’t forget to lay by a quarter for
our country’s brave defenders. '

The Fairfleld Co. Regiment.

- The 17th Regiment is still located at Fort
Marshall, Baltimore. A correspondent sends
us the following items: - 1

The Regiment was reviewed, on Wednes-
day, by Generals Morris and Berry. Gener-
al Morris is in command at Fort McHenry;

There are eleven members of' Friendship
Division, NO. 10, of New Canaan, and ten Of
Concord Division, No. 2, of Norwalk, in the
Regiment. They held a meeting on Friday
night week, and organized the “ Union Tern-
perance Association of the l7th'Regiment, C.
V.” Mr. Ofiin, of New Canaan, was elected
President, and C. H. Whitney, of Norwalk,
Secretary. A temperance meeting was held
on Sunday afternoon last, at which Col. No-
ble presided. Sixty-three signatures were
obtained to the pledge. ,

The men are at work digging a well, clear.
ing up around camp, and building an abatis
around the Fort.

._ The Fair.
Our Fair, instead of proving a failure, as
many feared, was, in all respects, a success,

upon previous exhibitions. Within the tent

former years, but the fruit and vegetables
saved it from failure. Indeed. had there been
nothing else there, the fifty Odd varieties of
apples exhibited by Stephen Hoyt .2: Sons, it
would have been far from a failure. The
vegetables—particularly potatoes—were un-
usually fine. The bread, dairy and honey,
was fblly represented, and we are assured by
the Acting Committee, possessed far more
than ordinary merit.

The Fair was opened on Tuesday night
within the tent by an opening address by
President Plumb, full of practical thoughts
and common sense suggestions. In fact,
such an address is deserving of a more en-
during form than a mere newspaper publi-
cation. Professor Merriam‘ entertained the
audience with his singing; and with sight-
seeings and exchange of personal greetings,
the evening passed off apparently to the sat-
isfaction of all. .

Wednesday, the display of cattle, swine
and sheep, was an entire success. We are
assured that few finer cattle were ever seen
at any former exhibition. The Wnsrron'r
BAND made their appearance in the after-
noon, and were the marked feature of the
day. I

Thursday, the equine race held abso-
lute sway. There, horses fast and horses
slow, horses fat and horses thin—in short, all
sorts of horses and all sorts of horse admirers
and horse drivers. On time, Norwalk was
ahead of all competition in the fine and
fast animal of Rev. Father Smith. Several
very fast animals were also here from Bridge-
port, but the Chestnut bore off the first
prize. E. V. A. Chichester had a very fine’
trotter', which took the lead of all the com-
mon horses in a most beautiful manner. Of
pairs, Orrin Benedict, of Bethel, had a fine
little span of fancy bays—surpassed, incur
estimation, only by our own M‘Cready team. .
[Neither noticed in premium lists, we be-.
lieve, yet that is not always conclusive
against-theirsuperioritv over winning com-

family horses, and bore ofi‘ the first pro:
mium, as we observe. The track gave the.
horse feature of the Fair an unwontcd prom-

inence, and enclosingithe grounds was so tri-

umphant a success, that that feature will not:

be likely to be abandoned hereafter. Fortu-

nately, no accidents Other than an occasional

break down of vehicles Occurred to mar the

week’s festivities.

Friday morning, the Plowing MatCh, &c.,
came off, followed by the Annual Address of
Dr. Hill. We have heard but one expression
regarding his effort, very reluctantly as.
sumed, as we know, and that it is one of
unqualified and hearty approbation. A vote
was taken that it be published, and we trust
the Society will see its interest in causing
the Presidentfs Opening Address, the Doc-
tor’s Annual Address, and the Premium
List, to. be printed in pamphlet form, and
distributed gratuitously among all its mem-
bers. We do not believe $50 of the Society’s
funds could be more advantageously expend-
ed than in putting these productions in con-
venient shape and enduring form, after the
manner of the State Society‘s transactions.
At 2 P. M., the Ladies Equestrianship fea-
ture was brought over from Wednesday’s
programme, and some dozen entries were
made. From motives of (womanly) delicacy,
the riders requested that no entries Of their.
names be made, and, from a noble patriot-
ism, all joined in requesting the premiums to
which they may be entitled, by consenting
to gratify the public desire for this novel
feature of the promised programme should be
paid over to the sick and wounded soldiers!
The thanks of the Society were tendered to
the soveral ladies, in a neat little speech, by
Dr. Hill. and he assumed the pleasant duty
of forwarding the amount of their premiums
to Col. Almy, for the object indicated.
Whereupon, with some “skirmishing” on
the track, the Fair closed-a complete and
satisfactory success—with less annoyance,
less excess, than any previously held.

INCIDENTS AND ITEMS.

The Lightning Calculator, from Barnum’s
Museum, helped out the inside attractions by
his wonderful powers of cyphering, while
D’Artois shouted his ice cream above the
noisy tumult of the crowd. The Seymours,
and John Smith, of South Norwalk, had
fruits and flowers ad libitum; Capt. Stephen
Hoyt 52 varieties of apples‘ besides pears,
peaches, and a large display of garden escu.
lents; John H. Sherwood exhibited a sam-
ple bag of Patent-office wheat; James Hoyt
a lot of Buckley’s seedling potatoes, mon-
strous size, and like whitest flour in appear-
ance after cooking, as we know by trial.
The Messrs. Hoyts ofStamford, added large-
ly to the attractions of the tent by their bo-
quets and beds of delicate flowers. Miss
Sarah Hoyt, of New Canaan, exhibited a
beautiful boquet, composed of over 70 caric-
ties of wildflowers.

John Hower exhibited, as is his wont,
some enormous potatoes and cabbages—the
latter, by the way, strayed or stolen at the
We mourn the loss, as we had a pros-
pective interest in them ourself. Our friend,
W. A. Cummings, of Darieu, had a fine show
of common and meet potatoes, for the latter
of which we arelaid under contribution. He
assures us that they can be as successfully
grown as any other potatoe, with only alittle
more trouble.

Outside, James H. Cole had a most superb
young horse—of the Hambletonian breed-—
“Young Naugatuck” by name. Mr. Finch
also showed hisWinslow HambltOnian,which
also found crowds of admirers. Atthe ladies

tory of the old horse, from which it appears

he has borne his venerable master 51,110

were scores of objects of interest, but neither

Messrs. Editors :-Will you allow me .a

which on ht not to pass unnoticed and un-

Last abbath evening, two ladies, awidow,
in feeble health, and her daughter, wore re-
turning from church. While passing upon
the sidewalk. north of the church edifice of
the 2d M. E. Church, they came up to four
persons standing upon the walk. Two were
gentlemen and two ladies. Not feeling in-
clined to ask them to remove, and the
thoughtless standers not having the polite-
ness to do it, the ladies, in or er to pass,
must separate, and the mother, deprived of
the support of the daughter‘s arm, made a
misstep, and fell prostrate by the side of the
walk, near where horses were hitched, and
injured her severely, if not permanently. She
had to be carried to her home, and is yet

Rebel Estimate of Our Ben-

It is gratifying to Observe what a profound
impression some of our Generals have made
upon the enemy. We may be unable to de-
tect military genius in our commanders, but
it is pleasant to discover that the rebels have
been more successful, and that, with praise-

 

 

' .worthy candor, they continue to indicate to

us what,Generals are worthy of our confi-
dence.' ' “Itis right .to be instructed by an

[9.0n Wednesday, 17th, Gen. Ferrv
commanding at Suffolk, Va, received in-
formation that the enemy in farce had
crossed Blackwater river for an attack
on Suffolk. Preparations were at once
made to meet the emergency, and on the
19th no fears were entertained that the
enemy could take the place soon with
50,000 men

g. The Albany Evening Journal Says
that negroes are the only secure class on
the continent. The South is careful not
to kill them because of the value of their
labor ; and the North won’t give them
a chance to be killed,lest some one should
be offended! So they are likely to have
a fine time of it when the whites of either
section succeed in exier‘minating. each oth-
er.

fiGaribaldi’s last revolutionary move.-
ment has suddenly ended. On the 29th
an engagement between his forces and
the king’s, took place at Reggio in Naples,
on the extreme southwestern point of
ltaly, and directly opposite Sicily. Gur-
ibaldi and his followers, after taking pos-
ession of several towns in the island, had
effected a landing at this point. Previous
advices mentioned that the Government
had sent a large number of Royal troops
to Reggio to seek out and defeat Gari-
baldi. In this mission they now appear
to have been successful, cOmpelling Gari-
baldi, after a short contest, to surrender;
and the latest advices informs us thnt‘ he
was conveyed, in an, Italian frigate,
wounded and a prisoner, to Spezzia.

PATRIOT ISM or THE CHILDREN.—-A few
children in the vicinity ofthe South Park
desiring to contribute their mite for the
sick and wounded soldiers in our hospitals
determined to hold a little fair for that
purpose, and for aeweek the work of pre-
paring and gathering the articles pro-

ued playthings, others the neat articles
which little hands had made, and on
Saturday afternoon the fair was held in
aprivate house, and the sum of $26-
23 was gathered. ——1Vcwa rk( N. J. ) Mercu-

LINT A Humane—A writer in the
Boston Post says of lint :— .

"Every ounce of lint sent to the army
does mischief. Its only use is to cover
up the blunders of had surgery. It is
seldom used by the best surgeons here.—
In the army it is crowded into wounds
by men who know no other way to stop
hemorrhage, and there it remains till it
becomes filled with filth and maggots.—
lt retains the discharges till they putrefy,
and produces intolerable stench. The
termination of its work is the death of
the patient.” ;

It is due to the tens of thousands of
women who have worked day and night
to prepare the best lint, and have for-
warded an immense quantity of it, that
the surgeon-general should make some

 

 

 

selves to do this free of charge.
