He didn't believe in trusting the affairs of this State in the hands of men whose Interest is war . Mr. Wright changed his amendment so as to include drafted men. The amendment was then adopted. The question being upon the passage of the resolution, Mr. Muusou spoke against it, as did Mr. Eaton. Mr. Wright moved to further amend the resolution by striking out the clause allowing soldiers to vote for senators and sheriffs; hdopted after a debate by Messrs Manson, Wright and Eaton.

W Dean Guerra—Your conrespondent from Ridgefieid does not seem to be very prompt in writing ; at least I have seen nothing from him for several weeks, so I will try to post you up a little in relation to the afi‘airs of this great "inland city.” That “Soldiers Fair" of which I saw you gave due notice, came off at the ap. pointed time and was a grand success.— The Ladies ",took in” between seven and eight hundred dollars, and after , paying all expenses, had about five hundred dol- lars left for the sick and wounded soldiers. By the way, they do not intend to give it up so, for I hear they are to resume their noble efforts in behalf of the defend- ers of our liberties next week. SinCe that Fair we have had some oth- ther things of interest to this people, and expect still more to come. Last week Thursday evening, the Sun- day Schooi of the M. E. Church had an Anniversary and all seemed to pronounce it a grand thing. The exercises consist- ed of speaking and singing by the child- ren, and short addresses by the Rev. Mr. Breckenridge, of Bethel, Rev. Mr. Love- joy of Wilton, and Rev. Mr. Hoyt, of Stamford. All spoke well. After these the children, and in fact all, partook of the bountiful repast prepared by the good ladies. Last Thursday night the friends of the Rev. Mr. Ford met at the Parsonage of the M. E._Church, and after spending a very pleasant evening retired, leaving as evidence of their regard one hundred dollars, most of it in money. Next week, Wednesday evening, the friends of the Rev. Mr. Clark of the Congregational church propose to make him their Annual visit and I have no doubt that his home will be filled with numerous friends, all prepared to leave substantial testimony of their apprecia- tion of him and his most excellent fami- ly. Thus you see the world moves. F. 'Ridgefield, Jan Ifith, 1864. ON Donation Visit. The friends and parishouers of Rev. 0 W.

It is fortunately 'not often that man- kind is called upon to mourn a calamity so horrible as that which occurred on the eighth of December, in Santiago the cap- ital of Chili. A church, crowded to over. flowing. caught fire; the chief door, open- ing inside, was soon closed by the press; all egress was consequently prevented, and nearly two thousand peOpio, mostly women, and representing nearly every family in Santiago, were burned to death. Whether the account of the disaster which we take from The Valparaiso Mur- cury, is in every detail correct, we are, of course, unable to ascertain but it leaves little doubt thatthe origin of the condo- gration was owing to the most culpable recklessness. A priest of the church was determined to have a celebration in the most splendid style, exceeding all that Santiago had ever seen. Twenty thou- sand lights, in long festoons of colored globes, filled the church, with gauze and drapery of every description. Every cor- ner of the building from the ground to the ceiling, and especially about the altar, was a sea of muslin and drapery, flooded with every kind of illumination. The church which was filled with so much combustible material had a roof of paint- ed wood, and only one door of easy access and this one opening inside. Of course, this chief door became at once blocked up; while the fire, in consequence of the numerous lights and plentiful drapery, Spread so rapidly as to burn, in less than fifteen minutes, about two thousand per. sons to blackened corpses-7mm ~--'~"£;r1€.>a..#: » m" ruuelzsrrifi Tuesday, January 19,1864. & A 2: Union State Convention. The Electors of the several tow us in this State who are desirous of preserving our National Union, and sustaining the govern- ment regardless of party lines other than those drawn by LOYALTY and DISLOY- ALTY,are requested to send delegates equal to twice their number of Representatives in the Legislature, to meet in Convention at Touro Hall, in the city of Hartford, on Wednesday, the 17th day of February, 1884, at 10 o’clock, a. m., for the purpose of nomi- nating St ate Oficers and electing delegates to the National Convention. All those who believe that the South, as well as the North, should be required to obey the Constitution and the Laws, are de- sired to aid us in securing the objects of this Convention. o. w.

WASHBURN, marrow, Jan. 14, 1864. The Legislature. The adjourned Special Session of the Legislature of the State, met at Hartford on Tuesday, 12th inst, and adjourned without day on Friday night, 15th inst. The principal business acted upon were the Bounty Bill and the proposed amend- ment of the Constitution of the State so as to allow Isoldier to vote in the field. The Bounty Bill as finally passed, pays the State Bounty of $300 to a resident of State, only when he is credited to the town where he is enrolled or where he re- sides. When the enlisted man is a reel dent of this State and is not enrolled, then the Board of Enrollment are to find by testimony, as to his actual residence.— This feature of the bill is just what was needed, as it will prevent towns from stealing from each other, and stop town appropriations for the purpose of over- biddiug each other in procuring their quota’s. Such recruits as are brought from without the State, are to be credited to those towns that enlist them. Another new feature of the Bounty Bill is, that the families of substitutes who are actual residents of this State when the substitute is mustered into the service of the United States, recieve the same monthly allowance from the State “the families of volunteers and drafted men. This bill contemplates the continuance of enlistmeuts of volunteers, so that a draft may be avoided for any deficiency under former calls for troops from this State. As the quota of this town under the draft, was some sixty short, we hope means will be taken to make the number good. ’ The proposed amendment of the Con- stitutiou so as-to allow Soldiers to vote in the field, was passed and now goes to the next General Assembly for their ac- tion and if passed by a two-thirds vote will then be submitted to a vote of the people at an early day for their approval. 0‘.» Agricultural Meeting.

BUSINESS CHANGE—There has been a change made in the old established Dry Goods House of Mallory do Lewis. Mr James Mallory‘gwho has been in the business forty-five years, in Norwalk, re- tires in the shed es of private life.

Mr. Lincoln H Soldiers Voting. We see by our exchanges that the rose. ‘ lution to amend the Constitution of this State so as to allow our Soldiers to vote gin the field, has packed the House of 3 Representatives by a strict party vote ; having been opposed tooth and nail by Eaton, Manson, Galligher & Co. We did expect that Eaton with his known sympathy with the rebels, would have opposed the measure, but did not believe that the rank and file of the house would go with him. We propose as soon as we can get a correct list of the yeas and nays to pub— lish the names and residence of each who voted for and against the amendment, so that the Soldiers may see who are their friends, and also those who would place them among the only class of disquali— fied freemeu, criminals. It would seem that the action of the New York Legislature on the same day, when the Senate voted unanimously to allow the same privilege to their freemen in the field, would bring a blush of shame to the faces of our Connecticut Copper- heads who so long and violently Opposed so just a measure l «o The Town Meeting. At the Town Meeting held today, (Monday) to validate the Town Orders, given to drafted men who were mustered into the service or furnished a substitute, a vote confirming the former vote was unanimously carried, the meeting being largely attended. ' «ION The Veterans. The veterans of the 8th and 11th Regiments, who have re-enlisted, and been granted 30 days furlough, arrived at Hartford, on Friday, and received a. splendid reception. At the State House, the Legislature came out in a body, and the veterans were addressed by Gov. Bdckingham, after which they were treat- ed to a collation at Allyn Hall. Satur- day morning they took breakfast at Al- lyn Hall, and were then allowed to dis. perse. Co. H, of the 8th Regiment belongs in Norwalk, and was the second company formed by the lamented Col.

The Bills were said to be good imitations. The scamps who passed them, got safely out of town. They also tried asharp game at the Bank of Norwalk, but did not succeed. One of them called and wanted to open an account for a Mr. A. Lincoln, grocer, New York, stating he had many disburse- ments to make in this vicinity, &c. He ofi'ered on deposit, a check for $3,000 on the Metropolitan Bank, and then offered Mr. Lincoln’s check on the Bank of N or- walk for $450, to be cashed. “Charley," however, did not see how it could be done, and the gentleman retired without opening an account. ———o~e WILTON—We are indebted to Mr. Sher- man P.

What have we to do ? The feeble skele- ton of rebellion, tottering in the weak— ness of approaching dissolution needs but the might of another wave of the flood of Northern patriotism to send it crush- ing down to remediless rain. The Presi- dent has issued his Proclamation, the aid of the loyal north has been invoked, the coffers of the nation have been open- ed to pour out unheard of inducements for men to throw themselves into the swelling tide destined to overwhelm the iniquitous myrmidons of a traitorous con- federacy. In response to the call, by means of the immense beauties offered by the general Government and the State of Connecticut, aided by the lavish, we might almost say reckless expenditure of means on the part of towns and of indi- viduals, many have been persuaded to en- list, and through their enlistment, togeth‘ or with the organizing of a regiment of colored troops, and the re-enlistmeut of several regiments iu the field, the quota of the State was a day or two since re- ported full, and everybody drew a long breath, gave a sigh of relief—and rested. Suppose the quote. is full, what then ?- Suppose Connecticut has furnished the exact number of men, which, provided Maine and Maryland and Iowa and Cali. fornia and every other State furnishes its preportiou, will put the required number into the field, is she then and thereby absolved from all moral and patriotic ob- ligation to do no more for a. common cause? We think not. The country still needs men. The same magnificent bounties are ofi'ered; and until the first of March every man who is physically quali- fied will be welcomed to the ranks of the Union army. What though the 300,000 asked for be swelled to half a million if there is still room, and the victory, the final triumph—which must at last be in a great measure due to the moral aspect of the case; a nation still in arms against an insurgent band on the verge of annihi- lation-will be all the more easy of achiev- ment. Let the South but see what may be shown if the whole North could but once more be roused—that our resources of wealth, population, and, if you please, of patriotism, are—as compared with her own—limitless ; and despair seizing the hearts of her sons, shall complete what the valor of our arms has already so glo- riously commenced, and gaunt rebellion yielding to the overwhelming presence of united loyalty shall vanish into oblivion. But the quota of Connecticut is not full, and the assistance which the nation might expect from our liberality and pa- triotism, it claims as the result of arith- metical calculation. Our proportion is not yet furnished and our time until the first of March may be all too short, un less we bestir ourselves, to give us honor- able quittance of the claims of the Gov- ernmeut. There was a time when the contribu- tions of Connecticut to the general weal were not measured with such exact re- gard to the rule of proportion, when men from love of freedom and right, hatred of oppression and wrong, without the al- lurement of bounty, conscious of trials and hardships awaiting them, requiring almost superhuman energy and steadfast- ness of purpose to endure, went forth from happy homes and cheerful firesides to breast the surges of despotism which threatened to extinguish the feeble tires on freedoms altars. Men of Connecticut they were ; noble men, and nobly did they accomplish their work. Through all the vicissitudes of trial and triumph, the flag of freedom was borne by the heroes of those old days, and Connecti— cut heroes were in the van. ' What man of Connecticut can read with indifference the glorious record of Connecticut throughout these trying times. Who does not feel a throb of pa- triotic pride when he reflects that during the struggle for independence Connecti- cut was the banner State ? During the Revolution, Connrcticut furnished more men according to her population, and more aid according to her means, than any other one of the united colonies- The General Assembly of Connecticut,- twenty days before the Declaration of Independence, issued a. manifesto setting forth the grievances under which the colonies were suffering, and instructing the Connecticut delegates in the Conven- tion at Philadelphia to propose that that body declare the united American colo. nies free and independent. Thus in the beginning of the struggle for. national ex- istence our State was not backward in struggle was not eharry of her means in supporting it. It may also be a source of honest ex citation to remember that in honest, steadlast, devoted Jonathan Trumbull, the supporter and coadiutator of Wash- ington, has been established the type of the Genius of America and especially of New England—Brother Jonathan—a little thing in itself but never to be for- gotten as establishing the fame of Conv necticut in former days, as the home of patriotism, loyalty, energy, everything which could secure and perpetuate us.— tional life and prosperity. And now for a question to put to our- selves. Shall we, descended from the men who were foremost in declaring, and most earngst in establishing our nation- ality, allow our devotion t9 the principles for which they fought, to be measured by arithmetical calculations of proportions ~quotas ,? No! Let our self-establish- ed quotu never be full while another man can be sent with gun in hand to repre- sent Connecticut ; until treason and ye. bellion hiding their diminished heads from the wrath of patriot hosts, shall be only remembered among things res’cused from oblivion that they may receive their justreward of everlasting opprebiam * defining her position, and throughout the .

We are happy to know, too, that your kind eu- terprise extended a New Years’ greeting to every soldier of our glorious old State on the Atlantic border. Our New Year has thus been made to Open bright and cheerily. The enjoy- ment of the good things brought us from Old Connecticut, and your plentiful, and most wholesome additions to our ordina- ry diet, will make for us a short and hap- py winter.

But how in- significant is this sense of comfort to the inner mun, besides the cheering conscious- nose that we are thought of kindly by the gentle hearts, and good people at home, of which you have sent us such substantial proof. Yet, still above this there rises in our bosoms the glorious as- surance of that loyal devotion to our country, so brightly testified by this shower of blessings, which your enterprise has extended to every Connecticut Sol— dier, who holds watch and ward along the Atlantic border, wherever the arms of the Union has wrenched its Territory from the grasp of the Rebels.

A SOUTHERN Paorosan 'ro SURRENDER. —The St. Louis Republicau's Memphis correspondence says that two important propositions have recently been made by the rebel authorities to the federal gov— ernment. The first is from a quartermaster of the rebel army at Hernando, acting by authority of Richmond officials. He has offered to sell to Gen. Hurlbut, or to the United States government, all the cot- ton now remainiug within a certain dis- trict yet outside of the Union lines. This offer embraces 15,000 bales, in all rebel government cotton, and greenbacks will be taken for it. It is said that Gen. Huribntt favors its purchase, and has recommended that the proposition be car- ried into efi'ect. The second is stated to be from Kirby smith, who recently sent an authorized messenger to Washington to propose to the federal authorites to furnish every requisite authority to get out all the cot- ton in that portion of the Red River and Washita districtwithin rebel control, the money for the same to be paid to that class of officers excepted from the amnes- ty offered by President Lincoln, they to retire from the rebel army and go to Mexico; The Republican says, editorially, of the correctness of this information: “ We "have no doubt of it, for it comes. from sources likely to have the best means of information ;” also that this involves the complete disbandment of the rebel forces in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, and the immediate return of' those states to the Union. 0-...» Hard Cash. Selleck sends us a copy of Charles ‘ Reade’s new novel, “ Hard Cash,” pub- lished by the Harpers’, and well illustra- ted. The title “ Hard Gas/I.” sounds queerly to American Readers, at pres— ent, and brings up memories of “ye olden time,” butstiil the story is well named. Chas. Reade is one of the most powerful, as well as fascinating, of the great Brit- tish novelsts, and Hard Cash is probably equal to any of his former works. The interest of the story commences in the first chapter, and exciting incidents fol- low ‘each other in rapid succession to the end, leaving no chance for the read- ers interest to drag. Charles Reade’s works are always bought with avidity, and we. doubt not that Hard Cash will meet with a large sale; as it is decidedly one of the best novels lately issued,— and better ones are hard to find.

No mother should rcstin safety until she has provided herself with a good remedy to pro- tect the lives of her children from Group and Colds—and no family should consider their household completed until it is provi- ded with proper remedies and powerful an- tidotes for the speedy and effectual cure of all such attacks, thereby insuring the health of the family and avoiding expensive Doc- tor’s bills. Coc’s Cough Balsam, an article cle prepared by one of our most reliable Eastern Drug Houses, at the low price of twenty-five cents per bottle, isjust the thing required by those wishing an immediate cure for Coughs, Croup, stubborn Colds,‘Tickiiug in the 'lhroat, Asthma, and Consumption. It can be found at any Drug store.
