NEW YORK {TO-DAY!
What a spectacle does the great Empire
State present to the country toodayl—indeed,
to the civilized world! Here is a deliberate-
ly planned, and a thoroughly organized par-
ty of men whose political success in her elec-
tion to-day would cause more rejoicing in
Richmond than a rebel victory! But we
cannot believe that New York is to prove
recreant to her high prestige, her noble fra-
ditions,-—her duty to the country, to her-
self, aud to God! We await the result
with anxious expectation.

The 4th District.
Those having a care for our local political
matters, will be interested in the lengthy art-
icle from the Winsted Herald, concerning
our next congressional candidate, which we
' publish on the first page. So far as we have
1 heard the matter canvassed, Fairfield County
will yield to Litchfield the selection of one
' of its citizens as a nominee. In the very im-
probable event that Litchfield cannot agree,
there are many who would earnestly urge
the putting of Gen. Orris S. Ferry over the
course again. We know that Gen. Ferry
would prefer not being a candidate for any
civil position until the battle of Freedom is
won. Yet his thorough knowledge of all
the matters connected with our soldiers in
the field and the war, will very naturally at-
tract attention, and would make him a most
useful member of the next House. Never-
theless, we consider the nomination of any
Fairfield County man as virtually impossi-
ble. We think we could select a man, men-
tioned by our friend Of the Herald, whose
personal acquaintance with our leading busi-
ness men would make him a tower of
strength in our County. He is a gentleman,
moreover, of ripe Legislative experience, and
of rare, practical business judgment, but we
do not deem the time to have arrived for us
to more particularly designate him. But
there are a dozen of the Herald’s list that
would be an honor and an ornament to the
District, and with any one of which the earn-
est, loyal men in this section, will he sat.

Captain Jennings’ Funeral
Sermon.
We do not remember ever to have seen a
more densely crowded house in this town,
on any occasion, than was the Congrega-
tional Church Sunday evening, on the occa-
sion of the funeral discourse preached by the
Rev. Mr. Anderson, on the death of Capt.
Gould J. Jennings. Although but. a few
days were allotted t‘Pastor in which to
prepare his sermon, it was a most eloquent
and impressive effort. Indeed, in substance
and matter it was a sublime oration through-
out, and its deep current of religious teach-
ing was only surpassed by its glowing pa-
triotism. Feeling allusion was also made to
Owen Murphy and Oliver Brady, as having
fallen in the service of their country.'_ There
were other Norwalk heroes now filling their
graves, of whom he did not particularly
know, but all were deserving of our grateful
remembrance. But as a strong and general
wish seems to prevail that it should be pub- '
lishcd, we omit any more extended notice,
owing to the crowded state of our Columns.

A Genuine Nobleman..
Returning home from Philadelphia last
Thursday evening, we had fora fellow-pas.
senger, a poor, broken, emaciated Massachu-
setts soldier, too weak to sit erect, and- so
far gone in physical constitution as to give
little hope for ought else than his possible
arrival at his home in Boston with the breath
of life not extinct. He was accompanied by
a kind matron who, though no relation to
the sufferer, was a Massachusetts woman,
and had in the pity of her soul, volunteered
to attend his passage home to die.‘ It was
a piteous sight and but a type of many hun-
(1 red we have seen the past year. Of course
an object of so much interest, awakened the
tenderest sympathies of all beholders. .Wc
proffered such aid as we could, and onarri-
~ val at the wharf in New York, attempted
negotiations with various carriers for a pas-
sage for the invalid up {0 the New Haven
cars. As the boy was destitute of money, as
well as broken down in health, we tried to
so far touch the pity of some of the hack
drivers as to get him conveyed at an honest
price. While chafi‘ering with the crowd, up
stepped a frank and honest-looking driver.
who, listening to the narration, at once re-
sponded, “I’ll take the poorfellow up therefor
nothing. I carried just such an one up last
night, too, but I guess I shan’t lose nothing.’i
No, thought we, my dear fellow, such true
nobility of nature shall not result in loss to
you if we can help it, so we demanded his
card, and here it is :— -
William Ryder,
Proprietor of Carriages No. 28 d5 46.
Stable 96 Lawrence St,
New York.
. Carriage can be had at all Hours.
We never saw him before, but we hope to
see him many times hereafter, when we may
want a carriage in New York, and hence
also this public acknowledgment of his gen-
erous action, that others who may read of it,
may also take some pains to patronize such a
noble specimen of a man. It should ensure
him an autograph letter Of thanks from Gov.
Andrew, and the gratitude of every patriot
in the land. So reader, whenever in the city
bear in mind Nos. 28 and 46.

Misssus. Em'rons :—I crave a brief space ’
in your columns, that I may bestow a p: 198-
ing tribute of respect and affection to the
memory of one of our noble and heroic
young men, who, while gallantly leading his
company on the battle-field of Antietam, :f'ell
fatally wounded, and was brought home to
die. I allude to CAPT. GOULD J. J ENNINos,
of the 59th N. Y. Vols., only son of our es-
teemed fellow-citizen, Gould D. Jennings,
Esq, of this town.
Among the noble young men of Norwalk,
who have gone forth periling their precious
lives in defence of our glorious Flag, none
more truly deserve our respect and affection
than Capt. Jennings. Leaving his young
wife,-—abandoning the practice of his pro-
fession, as a lawyer,—-and bidding farewall
to kindred, and home associations and com-
forts, he consecrated his noblest efforts, and
at last his heart’s blood to the service of his
government and his country.
I have known him from his boy-hood,—I
have marked his conduct and department
through the various phases of his brief ca-
reer, and now I mourn his death as one of
the most estimable young men that Norwalk
has produced.
Returning home after a brief absence, I
learned with great sorrow that my young
friend was dead. And I am unwilling that
his memory should pass away from our
midst without an effort to embalm it. He
fought, and bled, and died for me. For my
family, my home, my country. He hath done
what he could to render the efforts of the
Government in putting down this most atro-
cious rebellion, successful. He hath done
what he could to save our homes from de-
vastation and ruin. His young grave in our
village cemetery, consecrates that spot and
help: to render our town illustrious.
Not until I cease to respect virtue, or to
admire a manly character, or to reverence a
lofty patriotism, can I withhold my respect
and homage from conduct so illustrious and
noble. If it be proper to suppress a riot,—
if it be duty to disperse a lawless mob,-—if it
is right to sustain the constitutional authori-
ty of the nation in perpetuating its own ex-
istence,—in short, if there is anything sacred
in law, anything binding in an oath and civ-
i1 obligations or duties, then was it the duty
of our young friend, as it is the duty of all,
to crush out as far as possible, this internal
heresy of secesstbn. In doing this, he has
been slain. His blood will be upon those
who made this war necessary, and who have
invoked from the hands of both God and
man the most terrible retribution. Capt.
Jennings fills the grave of a Patriot Martyr.
A nation’s tears shall consecrate, and their
prayers embalm the place where our youth-
ful Hero sleeps, Around such a spot, let love
and gratitude stand sentinel, to preserve it
alike from the sneaking tread of the domest-
ic traitor, and the vandalism of secession.

SOME PUMPKINS.—MI‘. Hanford Scott, of
North Wilton, showed us last week nine
pumpkins, whose aggregate weight was 169
lbs.; the product ofoneseed. They weighed
respectively 29, 26 3-4, 21, 19 3-4, 19 1-2, 17,
14, 11, 11 lbs. each. The largest measured
over4 feet in circumference, and the vine
measured 260 feet; it bore in all, over ,30
large ones. This seed was planted about
the last of June.
This is but a sample of Mr. Scott’s luck in
farming, his corn, potatoes, grains, &c., all
giving him an extraordinary large yield.—
Mr. Scott, though but lately having left the
city for a farm, is a go-ahead farmer, and be-
lieves some things can be done as Well as
others, and he is therefore astonishing the
oldoclass of farmprs about him, who think it
a sin to depart from the ways of their fathers
and grandfathers before them, in the way of
trying new labor-saving farm implements,
new methods of planting, &c.

’10 the Editors of the Gazette—-
DEAR SIRS :—At a Union Conference
Meeting, in South Norwalk, last Thursday
Evening, the 23d inst, the undersigned of-
fered some remarks on the treatment of the
colored race in our country. As he-has rea-
son to know that some, and perhaps all who
were present misunderstood a part of what
briefly a view of what is felt to be the Chris-
tian upset of the subject.
It is plain that hatred towards the Afri-
crns is increasing among our Northern peo-
ple.. This is indicated in mobs, in the vio-
lent tone of many public journals, in the bit.
ter words of many prominent speakers, and
in the indignities put upon this class by rail-
road and omnibus corporations. They are
cursed as the cause of our national troubles -
(and they are truly the innocent cause.) It is
the declared policy of the head of the Gov-
ernment to expatriate them, and it seems to
he the especial aim of large numbers by their
strongly expressed sentiment and practical
action, to keep them down in that condition
of degradation which the influence of Ameri-
can slavery has brought them to.
Now the writer of this has no particular
affection for negroes. It is to be deplored
that they were ever introduced upon this
continent. But the spirit of cast, the intel-
erance referred to, cannot be vindicated on
Christian principles. It is born of hell.—
We have Irish, Germans, French, Italians,
Swedes, Chinese, and Indians in our coun-
try, and we give them all a fair chance to
earn a living, and reach respectability. But‘
the black man, torn originally from his na-
tive land by force, we conspire to abuse, in-
sult, and degrade, simply because he is black-
We are not willing to have him on our soil.
Some nook or by-place of the earth is sought
for where we may thrust him out of our
sight. Could we have our will we would
hunt him from the planet, for wherever on
the globe we might put him, the white man
may yet desire to inhabit. Such an accursed
intolerance is a reproach to the Creator, who
“hath made of one blood all nations of men,
for to dwell on all the face of the earth.”
It is not asked that we should give these
people social privileges above their rank.—
The most of them belong to the laboring
class. You (I am writing to your‘readersg
would not ask your neighbor’s Irish cook to
sit at table with you ;' but you would sit in
the same omnibus with her, if for no other
reason because she has the same right there
as you. Treat a decent black woman as
well. If you decline, you are not a true fol-
lower of that Savior who showed himself
the friend of the poor, and who mingled
with even the vilest in Jewish society.
The cry that our noses protest against the
African is sheer nonsense. A dirty white
man is as disagreeable in every respect as a
dirty black man. The Southern chivah'y,
regarded as very fine gentlemen, are not so
fastidious in this matter as we. Their lack
of that prejudice which prevails among us
is well known. Travellers in Afrtca do not
find the negro even in a savage state to be
more offensive personally than other sav-
ages. Probably the filthiest people in the
world are the Chinese. The “white trash”
at the South always appear to strangers
more disgusting than the worst slaves. Eu-
ropeans, too, have no such sensibility as we.
And yet We hear the talk that our volunteers
are not willing to fight in the same army
with colored men. Washington was not too
proud to have them under his command, and
the first blood spilled in the Revolution we
that of Attucks, a negro, who fell fightingf _
that liberty which we enjoy, and which some
would make out does not mean liberty for
black men.
It seems to be accordant with the Gospel
that we should treat this unfortunate class
in a fair, kind spirit—doing unto them as we
would have them do unto us, were our re-
spective situations changed. It is in unison
With the genius of Christianity that we give
them opportunity to assert their manhood,
and not, because they are weak, despised,
and poor, trample them down in the dust.
Such action is mean and cowardly.
Yours truly,
R. Baum) SNOWDEN.

EMANCIPATION IN LOUISIANA.—A French

lug:—
“You all who aspire to the universal es-
tablishment of a republican system without
spot, of a democracy without fetters, come
and contribute your might to the construc-
tion of the Temple of Liberty. Come, all of
you, friends of progress. The hour has
sounded for the war of the great humanita-

Owing to facilities which they possess, and

abled to sell at small profits, and their prices
will be found much below those usually
charged. We advise all who are about to
visit New York, to call on them.

shrieks of dismay, the howlings and do

as uncivilized and disgraceful. Now we
find the rebels boasting that have seven
regiments of degroes, manning the forti-

find one word of rebuke from the some

The pirate steamship Alabama is cruis-

burning every American vessel she can
find. This is cheerful news, indccd.——
Sailing under the British flag, this Alge-
riue corsair steals up like a COWlll'd to an
unsuspecting vessel, suddenly hoists the
flag of Jeff. Davis, and bounces upon his
prey. The Alabama has captured and
burnt since the 10th of October, the bark
Lamplighter of Boston, ship Lafayette
Of New-Haven, schooner Craushaw of
New York, bark Laurette. of Boston,
ship manchester from New-York, and
brig Dunkirk from New-York. The ship
Tonawanda was also captured but re-
leased to take off prisoners. Capt. Sem-
mes, the commander of the pirate, pro-
poses to make a visit to New-Yorkd'or
the purpose of pitching a few shells . into
the city. ' The released men represent his
conduct and his treatment of them as
that of a vulgar ruffiau. This bold buc-
caneer and his pirate crew were suppled
with full files of the New-York Herald.
The Union cavalry on Friday made a
recounoissauce within three miles of Win-
chester. They saw a large force of Reb-
el cavalry and artillery in the vicinity of
Suicker’s Gap, where they had a signal
station. Another scouting expedition on
Saturday morning ascertained that the
Rebels were in strong force in and near
the Gap. In the first recounoisauce we
took several prisoners. Lieut. Clifford
Thomson, one of Gen. Pleasantou’s aids,
who went out on Friday afternoon to
communicate with Gen. Bayard, who
commands Gen. Sigel’s cavalry, who
stopped by a whole column of Rebel cav-
alry cOming down the road from Snick-
er’s toward Aldie. Lieut, Thomson heard
cannon and saw shells exploding toward
Aldie, from which it was inferred that
Gen. Bayard was having a brush with
Stuart’s Rebels. Stuart had come down
through the Gap, the day previous, with
several thousand cavalry and four pieces
of artillery. All accounts agree the reb-
els are in force near Snickersville, arid
that they mean to hold the Gap. Our
cavalry seems to be hovering all around
the Rebel front the north of Snicker’s
down nearly to the Manassas Gap Rail-
road. It is said that all the Rebel forces
in Western Virginia have joined Lee’s ur-
my. The Rebels are said to hold Thor-
oughfaré Gap. Gen. Pleasanton, whose
cavalry lead our advance, had a fight on
Saturday with the enemy’s cavalry at
Phillimout, near Snicker's Gap. It was
an artillery brush only, lasting about five
hours. The Rebels retreated to Union,
a little village about three miles south of
the Gap. Our loss was one killed and
fourteen wounded. Yesterday morning
Gen. Pleasanton renewed the attack, be-
ing reinforced by a brigade of infantry.
The Rebels retreated, and our ”0098 cc-
cupied Union. Up to 3 p. at. our loss
was one killed and four wounded. Heavy
firing was heard in that direction until
dark, but the‘result was not known.—
The dispatch stating this news abruptly
adds that “another portion of our army
took possession of Snicker’s Gap today,”
which, if true, is news of importance.—
We await its confirmation.

[6" The Grenada Appeal of the 17th
inst. has an account of the capture ofSa-
biue Pass by the Union gunboat Hatter-
as aud two schooners, on Thursday, the
26 ult. It was defended by four guns,
but after a brisk cannoudde it was evac-
uated. Its capture was of great impor-
tance. The Sabine river is the boundary
between Louisiana and Texas, and through
this pass much ammunition has been im-
ported and cotton exported by the reb-
els. The cotton was generally transport-
ed across the river to Metamoras, and
thence to the outer world. The posses-
sion of this river will cut off the rebels
from many of their supples, and an-
other stone to the wall by which we are
endeavor-lug to shut them out from civil-

A DASTARDLY Acr.-—The Louisville
Journal affirms the truth of the following:
About as low a meanness as we have
heard of in the war occurred at' Chaplin
Hills. When the battle was over and
and the night had covered the dead and
the wounded under the dark trees, it Was
natural for the friends on either side of
the combatants to look after their dead
companions, and especially for those who
migth be prostrate and languishing under
wounds but still alive. At this time so-
cred to humanity, the Bishop-General
Polk stationnd himself with a small and
secret force under the shadow of the for-
est, by the side of the dead, hyeua like,
and, when a benevolent and christian
heart came to look for his dead or wound-
ed friend, he would take him prisoner,
march him 06‘ and strip him! This act
so disgraceful to human nature is abso-
lutely true and can be fully attested.

The Star says:
“We have trustworthy information from
parties just from Cuba that the steamer
Blanche, or» her late trip from Texas to
the port of Mulatto, Cuba, carried in ad-
dition to her cargo of cotton quite a num-
ber of Texan slaves with their owners,
who promptly sold them to Cuban plant-
ers; and also that several “Secesh” fam-
ilies, arriving froth New-Orleans and its
vicinity, are bringing with them numbers
of slaves. It will be remembered that
the steamer Blanche ran her cargo to
Cuba under the British flag--—not previ-
ously known for [Ruby years to have cov-

ket. A Spanish man-of-war, the Blasco

16- the following is the result of the
Pennsylvania election, as summed up by
the Tribune:
We carry the state on Congress by
6,231 majority, though the Opposition
figure out about 3,450 majority on the
state ticket. True, we have fallen off in
our Congress vote from the heavy poll of
1860; but so have the opposition; we
lose by far the most, chiefly in men gone
to the war; but they lose 16,515, in spite
of their boast of immense gains. They
lose even more heavily than last. year;
then they gave Foster 230,257 for gov-
eruor—now 207,669 for Congress—aloss
of 22,588; and yet they brag of great
gains. Wait till the soldiers return!

LAUNCH or AN IRONCLAD VasSEL.——-The
U. S. iron-clad steam gunboat “Sange-
mon” was launched Monday at Chester,
Penn. The “Sangumon” is 840 tons bur-
den, government me isurement, about 200
feet long, 45 feet wide, and 12 feet deep.
She has only one turret, in which two
11 inch guns will be placed. There is
hardly any difference between this ship
and the “Monitors,” of which she is one.
The ”Montank,” “Passaic,” and “Nahant
all afloat, have been described at length,
The “Sangamou” is a fee simile of them.
The turret is 21 feet inside, 9 feet, and 11
inches thick. Orders have been received
by the contractors to prepare her for her
crew and guns as speedily as possible.
The “Sangamon” weighs actually 1300
tons. When finished she will weigh 1800
tons. The “Lehigh,” sister-ship to the
one launched, is rapidly approaching com-
pletion, and will be ready to be floated
out in a few days. There will then be
but the “Weehawkeu,” which will be
launched at Jersey City this week, the
“Nantucket,” at Boston, and the “Cats-
kill,” at Greeupoint, to be finished, of the
nine Ericsson batteries. .

Tax on Newspapers—Price of
Paper, &e.
The Hartford Times truly says:—
The Government tax on newspapers is
excessive. It reaches them in four dif-
ferent ways. The tax on white paper is
large-~ou iuk——on every advertisement
——on the income. It would seem that
the tax was arranged to embarrass news-
papers. It certainly forccs them to raise
their prices or publish at an actual loss.
The price of white paper has increased
within the past three months to the ex-
traordinary degree of thirty-six per cent!
These heavy taxes, and the unusual ad:
vanes in ybe price of paper, must work
fatally upon many newspapers through-
out the country. Certain it is, that none
of them can live, in any tiring like a
healthful condition (if they pay their
bills,) without an advance in price; for it
is quite evident that they can not con-
tinue on the old and no more than barely
living profits, under the weight of these
great taxes, advance in the price of pa-
per, of ink, and of every article they buy.
The Brookport (N. Y.) Republic has
the following on the same subject:—-
Most of the large daily papers in West-
ern New York have advanced the price
of their issues. An editor of a leading
New York daily informed us last week
that the publishers in that city would.
soon follow suit. Many of the country
journals are also published at increased
prices. The advance is caused mainly
by the advance in printing stock.
W
Tngxcs WORTH FooETTINc.—It is almost
frightful, and altogether humiliating, to
think how much there is in the common
on going of domestic and social life which
deserves nothing but to be immediately
and forever forgotten.——Yet it is equally
amazing how large a class seem to have
no other business but. to repeat and per-
petuate these very things. That is the
vocation of gossips—an order of society
that perpetuate more mischief than all
the combined plagues of Egypt together.
You may have noticed how many Speeches
there are which become mischievous by
being heard a secondtime; and what an
army of both sexes are sworn to see to it
that the fatal repetition shall be bad.
Blessed is that man or woman that can
let drop all the burrs and thistles, instead
of picking them up and fastening them on
to the next passenger! Would we only
let the vexing and malicious saying die,
how fast the lacerated and scandal-ridden
world would get healed and tranquilizedl
