: WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 1864.
Dan: Gazn'rrn—A week of most unexy
ampled weather has passed over us. The
grass is “springing fresh and green” and the
buds are as far advanced as in the last of
March of an ordinary year. Should a “cold
’ snap" now ensue, the fruit of this region
must sufi‘er greatly, if not be entirely de-
» stroyed. But it is not over the fruit, that the
earnest and thoughtful feel most anxious.
Our armies, in this region should have im-
pressed these days of mild spring weather.
The roads in Virginia, for the past month,
=ha've been far better than we can expect
them to be for the next two months to come.
., The spring rains will soon be upon us and
then the Artillery and heavy trains can-
not be moved. Our enemy, in his last spasm
‘ of desperation is crowding every man into
'his' ranks capable of bearing a musket, and
we should fall upon him and annihilate him
before he shall have time to reinforce him-
self-and become invincible. It is sickening
_ and disheartening that with one of the finest
and ,best armies the world ever saw, the
.. lines of the Potomac defences are not advan-
' cad. The country knows that it is no fault
of . the men composing that army. No other
. organization in the war for the Union, has
; more eagerly and lavishly poured out its
life-blood on the altar of country and good
government. The country feels too, that
anytime the past season and more especially
the four or five months last past, Lee’s army
might and should have been shattered, and
our sufi'ering prisoners in Richmond dun-
geons rescued ere they were transported, (as
‘ has now been done), beyond our reach. This
' sentiment of the poeple, I have myself
heard endorsed in the most confident man-
ner, by one of the wisest as well as high-
" eat. and truest militaryleaders in this fearful
struggle. Why and how is it that such a con-
dition of things can exist month after month,
the reader naturally enquires. Those who
profess an “interior view” at the govern-
mental springs of action here, are outspoken
incharglng all this inefficiency and blunder-
. ing upon Gen. Halleckl He is charged by
those-who know him best, with being a lit-
tle-minded, prejudiced, cold and malignant
pro-s1avery-devotee—deficient in energy, ca-
pacity, truthfulness and nearly every mental
or moral quality except that of supercilious
fawning upon the President. That Mr. Lin-
coln does not fathom him and shake him off,
is one of the most astonishing enigmas of
his administration—and his most ardent ad-
mirers and devoted friends confess that there
is no clog hanging upon the President’s
prospects of a re-nomination, so like a mill-
stone, as the retention in office of this same
Major General— H. W. Halleck. Would to
God, that Mr. Lincoln could be induced to
put him into the field, into retirement, any-
where, so that the lives of our soldiers
might not longer be made the prey of his
imbecility. Let General Butler (or any oth-
er live man, akin to him, in ability and ener-
gy, in comprehending and grappling with
this rebellion) be put in Halleck’s place and
it would be one of the most hopeful days
this nation has experienced since the dark
and luried clouds of war like a death pall,
fell upon Sumter. Any man who has the
wickedness of heart. or the imbecility of brain,
to call this fearful, fratricidal strife, “a d—d
Tribune war,f’ as Gen. Halleck has done,
and that within a yeizr past, is surely not the
man to plan campaigns, and' most unworthy
' the‘srivate'ear and confidence of so true and
sincere a patriot as Abraham Lincoln.
~ There are other clouds now looming upon
our political horizon, boding no good and
awakening the most serious apprehension.
Irefer to the wranglings already inaugura-
ted in matters looking to the next Presiden-
cy. I know how it is, quietly at home,
where nothing is heard but the big throb-
, hing heart-heat of the masses for Mr. Lin-
coln’s nomination, yet at the risk of again
being. misunderstood or misinterpreted, I
shall endeavor to state the condition of things
here. While no well-read, intelligent person
can doubt that the great ground swells of
the people’s desires are for Mr. Lincoln's re-
‘nomination, it isa fact no less certain tht'it
the prominent leaders of political opinion,
creams: toht'm. , This was indicated in the
House yesterday in' the speech of Henry
‘WlnterDavis’, wherein he accused the Presi-
deht ‘of‘hv'ndefing emancipation in Md., and
the same was reasserted by the Missouri
delegation as to the Presidential influence
lutheir'Statc. The simple explanation of,
all, thin-.1110 Wt. in. my. nut-bl-
man, incurred by theold foxy surroundings
Clinch men as the mails, who like Pharoah'
'of’cld, seem only to blind their eyes and to
“enticirhsarts in every fresh mani-
festation of God's Providence. The person-
al and political attachment of , these men to
Mr. Lincoln, is deemed sufficient ground for
the'alienation of the leaders among the more
ardent of those who labored for his election
three years ago. The least that can be said
. on this head, is that personally and politi-
cally the President is exceedingly unfortu-
nate in this’regard. ' That he will be 1mm;
mated atsthe approaching Convention, 1 have
no doubt, unless he should conclude to Will]-
draw, which he has no present intention
of doing. But that we cannot escape a sc-
em cOntest in his reelection, the present
factions exhibitions among our friends, in
and out of Congress, already give the indica-
tion will depend more upon the folly of the
democracy than the harmony within our '
ownranks.
As I stated in a former letter, the ouis are
fora change, while the was ’arc, of course,
firm adherents of a double term, especially
mm all selfish and blatant politicians.
This in :auymrdina'ry period of our history
would be of little consequence, but at a time
like this, argues only weakness and injury to
the cause-of the Union. Here, as I am, at
the fbcal centre of political manoeuvering, I
can but devoutly hope for less selfish place-
seeking, and a higher and holler patriotism
among all our public, men. Now, if never
again, there should he harmony and union of
effort and desire in the councils of those who
have been, are now and must continue to be
the steadfast friends of the Republic. Men,
and the personal aggrandizement of any par-
ticular party leader, are nothing in compari-
son with the life of the Nation. Let the com
mon, imminent peril teach the important les-
son that there must be no falling out by the
way among friends, and may God prosper
the Right. B

A Corporation With a Soul.
The saying that there is an exception to,
all general rules has been verified here lately
in regard to the often quoted phrase, “ That
no Corporation has a Soul.” The exception
to the rule which we refer to is the Nowxnx
Gas LIGHT Consular, for at their semi-an-
nual meeting on Tuesday last, notwithstand-
ing it was found necessary, on account of
the great increase in the cost of Cannel Coal
and all the other materials which they use
for manufacturing good Gas-etc pass their
usual Dividend, they decided not to raise the
price or reduce the quality of their Gas.
This too after it had been shown that they
had for the last en's months run their works
ata loss; and that in most of the cities up
the North River and at the East had put up
the price in their respective localities. The
Company had just made a great reduction in
prices, when everything commenced to go
up, but the leading stock holders, who are
also large consumers, feeling convinced that
things must, ere long, take a downward turn,
preferred to run awhile for at a loss, rather
than take a step backward. We trust that
their liberality will be remembered by our
citizens and little short-comings hereafter
overlooked. We also hope that the price of
materials may go down and the company
reap a glorious harvest in return for the
magnanimity and liberality displayed to the
consumers evinced by the action taken on
Tuesday last. We feel proud of the Nor-
walk Gas Light Company, and trust that, al-
though they are disposed to make light of
almost everything, that their Treasurer may
always hereafter show a heavy balance in
their favor.

WWe were shown one evening last
week by Dudley P. Ely, Esq., the working
of a patent “Electric Burglar Alarm,” which
he has had put into his house. It is one of
the most ingenious and useful inventions we
know of. The alarm Bell which is located
in his sleeping room, is connected by
wires and springs with every exposed door
and window in the house, so that when set,
one cannot be opened without causing the
Bell to ring, and it will continue ringing un-
til the door or window is closed. It is a
very simple construction, does not get out of
repair easily, and after being put in, costs but
a few shillings yearly to keep in good
workingcondition.
pleasure by simply pushing a little switch
backward or forward, and several , small
stops, by which in case of alarm it will des-
ignate what portion of the house a door or
window has been opened. '
It is, in our opinion, the most complete
preventive against Burglars of anything yet
invented. Athief would stand no chance
of making a “Surprise,“ where one of these
had been put in, for the first movement of
the window would betray him and alarm
the household. It is patented by Mr. E.
Holmes, New York.

Frsnmo.—If our Grampus friends who
met with such splendid luck fishing at Ban-
tam Lake, Morris, some months since, are
ever tempted to ‘try again,‘ we would advise
them to put up at Mr. Wm. Turkington‘s,
during their stay. He lives'at the lower end
of the beautiful Lake. on the east side, and
although he does not keep a public house
will sometimes consent to entertain gentle-
men who come to the lake fishing, and will
take care of their horses, furnish proper bait»
dtc. .They will find Mr. T. an intelligent,
agreeable and patriotic gentleman, and as a
host pleasant and accommodating. Fishing
on the lake, through the ice, has generally
been very good the past winter, but was
decidedly dull sport during a short stay we
made there last week. '
«Q».
Current—Died, in this Borough, on
Friday the 26th of February, of Congestion
of the Lungs, Mus. Aurorxa'rra, widow 'of
the HON. Tnannnus Burrs, formerly U. 8.
Senator from Connecticut, in the 75th year
of her age.
Her funeral was attended at the Congre-
gational Church on Monday the.29th at 2
o’clock, P. M., by a large concourse.
A sermon was preached by the pastor,
Rev. Joseph Anderson; and prayer, was offer-
ed by Rev. S. B. S. Bissel; the service at
the grave was performed by Rev. William
Cooper Mead, D. D., Rector of St. Paul's
Church.
The death of Mrs. Belts will be deeply la-
mented, not only by her children and other
relatives, but also in many other households
in which she has been a minister of mercy
and-he] p in times of sickness and sorrow.
When her gifted husband was suddenly
smitten down at Washington, at his post
of honor and usefulness, in the year
1840, in the midst of his days and strength,
the unexpected blow fell upon the devoted
wife so heavily that Reason staggered and
reeled upon her throne. But when her mind
recovered, a new master-passion took possbs—
sio‘n, and from that time she devoted her-
self to the care of the sick and suffering.
Whenever she heard of the visitation of
disease to her neighborhood she was
prompt to offer her services, and often, for
weeks, has she kept her post, unweariedly
and skilfully watching and waiting.
The removal of such a helper and friend
is a common calamity; and her memory
will belong cherished by many whom she
haeblesssd. - B.

Govnanoa BUCKINGHAM.—The course
of the Union men of Connecticut was gen-
erally anticipated. Still, it is worthy of
high commendation, for it is not every
people that know when they are well ser-
ved, and have the wisdom to let well
enough alone. But not only has Govenor
Buckingham filled his place so fairly,
that any change, during the time which
would render unavailable the fund of expe-
rience he, has acquired since the outbreak
of the war, would be a serious public
damage, but he has done so well that he
may be safely compared with the most
meritorious of the loyal Governors whose
names will ever illustrate this great era.
Through his agency, and that of his ex-
cellent associates re-nominated on the
State ticket, Connecticut has met all the
requisitions upon her promptly and com-
pletely, at the same time that the home
afi'airs of the State have been prudently,
and judiciously managed. We have no
doubt that the people will ratify the
course of the Union Convention, and re-
elect Gov, Buckingham by a handsome
vote—Boston Journal.

, The Schleswig War.
The war which, after prolonged threat» .
enings, has at. length broken out in the
north of Europe, gives indication of dis- ‘
turbing the peace of the whole Eastem .
continent. and bids fair to involve all ,
national relations to such an extent that l
we may well pause in the study of our 3
own contest to gain an understanding of
this trans Atlantic strife. The causes
out of which it has grown are so foreign
to American usages, that many we pro-
sume are unable to determine which side
deserves their moral sympathy, having
no clear comprehension of the matter of
contention. To such, a brief review of
recent events may help to show the na-
ture and grounds of this new Iver.
On the 15th of last November Fred-
erick VII., King of Denmark, died, leav-
ing no children. The next of kin, accor-
ding to the law of succession bad right"
to the throne. This law, however, is
variously held by the Danes, and the
Germans of Schleswig and Holstein.—
In Denmark proper, the crown is trans-
missible to females in conformity witha
regulation established some two hundred
years ago. On the contraryiu the Duch-
ies of Schleswig and Holstein, as in the
rest of Germany and other parts of Eu-
rope, the Salic law prevails, which lex-
cludes females and transmits the sover-
eignty to male heirs alone. These Duch-
ies have formed a portion of the Danish
Kingdom for a long time back, so that
the Kings of Denmark have been also
Dukes of Schleswig and Holstein. But
new Christian IX., who is the legitimate
sovereign of Denmark proper, has his
claim to the inheritance of the Duchies
disputed by the Prince of Augustenburg,
who is the rightful Duke of those prov-
inces according to the Salic law.
This catastrophe was foreseen as long
ago as 1852, and a Conference of the
Grand Powers was held at that time in
London at which, as we learn from the
late speech of the English Queen, nearly
all the Princes of Europe agreed that
King Christian should be acknowledged
the successor to all the dominions then
united under the sceptre of the Danish
Monarch. The object of this arrangmenr
was stated to be the preservation of the
balance of power and the peace of Eu-
rope by maintaining the integrity of th
Danish Kingdom. ‘
Fortified by the decision to which this
Conference came, the Danes, on the de-
cease of Frederick, at once proclaimed
Prince Christian King of Denmark and
Duke of Holstein and Schleswig.
But these Duchies are members of the
Great German Confederation, and as
such claim that Foreign Powers have no
right to dispose of them so coolly as was
done by the Conference ;' they hold that
the assent of their own Diets and of the
General Diet of the Confederation is nec-
essary in order to alter the law of suc-
cession ; and as neither of these represen-
tative bodies has yielded its assent, they
maintain that the Prince of Augusten;
burg is their legitimate sovereign .—
Strengthened by the undoubted feeling
of the maple in his favor, the Prince of
Augustinburg speedily issued a procla-
mation, declaring his assumption of the
Government. and pronouncing further
Danish rule to be usurpation, and up,-
ppealiug to the Federal Diet for the rec-
ognition of his rights. Subsequently
several German Princes openly declared
in his favor, and nearly the entire Ger-
man'press united in advocating his pre-
tensions. . ‘ '
Prussia andiAustria, the leading mem-
bers of the German Confederation, at
once made active military preparatlous
in view of possible hostilities with Den-
mark. They advanced lerge forces of
troops to the banks of the Eider and
awaited the turn of events. England
endeavored to avert a rupture by using
very strong language in her diplomatic
communications to the German Princes,
implying her readiness to side with Den-
mark is case it came to war. , She also
proposed that the Powers which signed
the Treaty of 1852 should uuitedly con-
cert measures to preserve the integrity of
the Danish Kingdom. But threats and
overtures were alike fruitless, and on J an.
31st at midnight, the Prussian troops
marched northward from Kiel into
Schleswig. Austrian forces advanced
simultaneously from another quarter and
actual hostilities have been the result.
in looking, therefore, at the exciting
causes of this struggle, we find that the
principle for which the Germans are con-
tending is virtually the right of a people
to selfrgovernment. They deny, and
with all the intensity of virtuous feeling,
the assumption that the Great Powers _of
Europe can in justice meet as they did
at London in 1852 and arbitrarily dic-
tate a ruler for an independent State.--
We are not surprised therefore to discov-
er that the Tories of England and mon-
arcbists generally in Europe favor the
cause of Denmark, while all the lovers of
freedom--the great mass of Liberalism
in Britain and on the Continent—ee-
pouse the opposite side. The two great
parties are, therefore, brought face to
fees on a vital principle. For ages the
Prism of Europe have claimed and ex-
ercised the right to impose on the nations
which at various times have been in pop-
fusion or revolutiOu, just such sovereigns
as they selected. The idea that 'a
people have any right to settle lh°
question what — government. they
shall have and by whom administered,
this alliance of despots (the lei!!! may be
too strong) has always vehemently opt;-
posed. Thus they have controlled the
institutions of Greece insisting that she

Correspondence of Gazette.
Jacxsoxvrrrs, FILL, Feb. 14th, ’64.
» Msssas. Entrees-The expedition to
Florida has thus, far been completely suc-
cessful. Leaving a detailed account of
the military operations to be related by
the able newspaper correspondents who
accompany us, it would give no pleasure
to communicate to. the friends who , read
your columns, some of the scenes and in-
cidents witnessed here.
In peaceful times Jacksonville was a
city of considerable beauty. Situated
,on the St Johns, it commands an exten-
sive view of the river up and down. The
town exhibits in its general aspect the
northern enterprise on which its growth
was matured ; the houses are well built,
mostly of brick ; the streets regularly
laid out and in some places shaded by
the-lofty oaks which unite their branches
overhead to form beautiful arches. The
desolatiug hand of war is here manifest,
and many a mansion once a happy home,
"lies now a, pile of ruins. The greater
portion however is still left, and about
sixty families yet remain in their old
homesteads. Once there were three hun-
dred northern families alone beside the
’ chivalry. Those who remain have suffer-
ed much from privation, and earnestly
desire that the war may soon end.—
Coufederate bills are very plentiful among
them, but are worth nothing since our
late visit and were of little value before.
Flour being one hundred and sixty dol.
ion a barrel, and other cbmmodities in
proportion ; and of this aper the Con-
federacy pays its soldielieleven dollars
per month. If under these circumstan-
ces they can endure multiplied evils of a
soldier’s life in behalf of so bad a cause,
what ought we to think 'of those among
us who stop to lament the cost and dim-
culties of a war waged for the noblest of
Governments and for the civilization of
the world.
In a lonely graveyard on the outskirts,
is a tall pyramid of brick, bearing on its
summit a small marble monument, it is
entered by a large wooden door, within
are seven cofiius laid on shelves, three of
these are metalic and the glass over the
face is covered by a movable iron plate.
A marble slab at the door contains the
following queer inscription, copied ver-
batim .-
“ When I am dead and in my grave,
And my bones they are all rotten,
When this you see remember me,
That I may not be forgotten.“ ‘
Camp Finnigan is eight miles from
town. The Confederates left this pines
in great haste, leaving five field pieces, a
number of Enfield rifles, sabres, etc. In
that neighborhood are numerous families
of poor whites, more commonly called
here "cracker.” They are squallid in the
extreme, their complexion sallow from in-
sufiicient and unwholesome food, and in
respect to apparrel, approaching very
near to that disastrous condition men-
tioned by ‘fMiss Flora McFlimsey of
Madison Square.” Add to this the grime
and dirt which obscures the features,
and which is doubtless allowed to accu~
mulate unmolested from one rain storm
till the next, with the ‘additiou in many
instances of a streak dripping from the
corners of the mouth the result of their
almost incessant habit of dipping snuff,
and you may perhaps conceive some idea
of one of the “peculiar institutions” of the
South.
One mail from the North has arrived

Bumpers lN Grumman—Quite an
extensive business have been done in
Greenwich this week.
On Tuesday night the house of Mr.
Chas. Jerman, near the Upper Landing,
was entered by a burglar who found the
way into Mr. Jerman’s room, and made
a demand for money, threatening his life
if refused. Mr. Jerman jumped from his
bed to seize the rascal, when the burglar
fired three shots at him, and escaped
without any booty.
The same evening a house belonging to
Mr. Jerman was fired by an incendiary.
On the same evening a burglar eu-
lersd Mr. Talbot’s dwelling, and succeed-
ed in carrying off silver were to amount
of 81,000. As Mr. '1‘. examined the
doors and window fastenings before re-
tiring, the rogue had probably secreted
himself in the house during the day.
The residence of Mr. Luther P. Hub-
bard was also visited the same evening.
Mr. H’s sleeping room was entered and
.840 carried cl without pushing him -—
The burglars then tried the door of a-
other room which was occupied by a a-
dy. She awaklug with the noise, asked
also was there, when she was told to
keep quiet or she would be killed. The
lady would not be quiet, but on the con-
trary aroused the whole house by her
cries for . help. The nogus becoming
alarmed, left without any more pinnde
The same evening a negro named
ris Knapp, was shot in the head, in his
own house. Knapp was not killed—
cause of shooting unknown.
This will do pretty well for one night’s ,
war}; in the staid old town of Greenwich. ,

' 'sa'id 'sl'i'e' laying down
WAR NEWS.
A Nashville dispatch of the 16th says:
A scout arrived from Gen. Grant’s head-
quarters says Gen. Sherman has struck
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and cut .
Polk’s army in the middle, and that both
sides are running away from each other.
Gen. Sherman suhsi ts. on the country,
stores. There was
a tremendous Rebel cavalry force in the
rear of Gen. Sherman, but no apprehen-
sions are felt for a Union disaster. Gen.
Grant’s scouts report that a heavy at-
tack on the Forts of Mobile is in full op-
eration, but with what success could not
be learned.
We learn from Port Royal that on the
18th inst. at 9 p m., the Rebels succeed-
ed in floating a torpedo against the sloop
of wur‘ Housatonic, and injured her so
that she sunk in a short time. Two offi-
cers and three men were drowned; all
others were rescued. Our troops had
made (on the l4th)a successful reconuois
sauce up Savannah River to William’s
Island. Two transports have been lost
by grounding in St. John’s River, Florida.
A battle had taken place at Olustee, in
Florida, but no particulars are given,
save that our troops had ales ed a
great deal of property, and vet d to
Jacksonville. -
Advices from North Carolina state
that the Rebels will undoubtedly make
another effort to drive Gen. Peck’s for-
ces out of the State. They have three
iron-clads nearly ready to move down the
Neuse, Roanoke and Tar Rivers. Our
late raid troubled them greatly, by des-
troying a vast amount of commissary
stores. It is said that Gov. Vance de-
mands the expulsion of the Union forces
from the State, as the condition of keep
ing the State tr00ps in Confederate ser-
vice. Hence it is theorized, the Rebels
will abandon Virginia and plan their next
batle-field in North Carolina.
A reconnoisance in force in command
of Gen Stoneman was made on Monday
night the 22d inst. toward Bull Gap,
which discovered that the Rebel cavalry
had retreated beyond the French Broad.
On the 20th Gen. Longstreet commenced
his retreat from Strawberry Plains to-
ward Bull Gap, first destroying the
bridge. Gen. Schofield moved to the
plains with the Union forces on the 24th,
assigning the command of the post and
defences of Knoxville to Brig-Gen. Has-
call.
The Memphis Bulletin asserts (on high
military authority) the capture of Selma,
Ala., after a hard fight, and says that
Montgomery, the capital of the State
is the next point of attack.
The battle of Olustee, Fla, was fought
on the afternoon of the 20th inst. Onr
troops, under Gen. Seymour, met the en-
emy, 15,000 strong, 55 miles beyond
Jacksonville, and eig t uiles beyond San-
derson, on the line 0 the Jacksonville
and Tallahassee Railroad. The battle
was desperately fought during three
hours, and then, at sunset, our forces,
overpowered by numbers, retired to San-
dersou, taking with them the greater
part of the wounded The 7th Connect-
icut, 7th New Hampshire, 40th Massa-
chusetts, 48th and 150th New York, and
8th United States, were engaged. Col.
Fribley of the 8th United States was left
dead on the field, Col. Reed, a Hunga-
rian officer, was mortally wounded. All
the officers of Hamilton’s Battery were
wounded. Col. Guy Henry of the 40th
Massachusetts had three horses shot un-
der him, but escaped unhurt.
K dispatch from Memphis, gdated Fri-
day, reasserts the statement that Selma,
Alabama, is in possession of Gen. Sher-
man. The reports from Gen. Smith’s co-
operating column of cavalry are not fa-
vorable. Stragglers say that the Rebel
forces under Forrest, Rhoddy, Lee and
Adams have been concentrated against
him, and that at West Point, Miss, a
severe battle had been fought, in which
Smith was driven back.
. There is news of importance from the
Army of the Potomac, but it is merely
the announcement of a forward movement.
A dispatch from Chattanooga, dated
Friday, says that the movement toward
Dalton, Ga, was simply intended as a
reconuoissauce in force, and that having
accomplished its purpose, ascertaining
that the Rebels were posted there in
great strength, our troops returned to
Tunnel Hill, which they still occupy.
—-T—-ov‘.>o.—————
13.0% of thirty thousand veterans in
the army of the Potomac whose term will
expire within the next nine months, twen-
ty-fivo thousand have re-enlisted. Of six
thousand recently furloughed .five thou-
sand five hundred have promptly returned
at the expiration of their fgrloughs, and
there is reason to expect the return of the
remainder at once. Such is the excellent
spirit of the army.

The “’inslow Will Case.
The following important letter has
been handed us for publication:
Bridgeport, Tuesday, Feb. 16
Mrs. Mary Fitch Winslow:
DEAR MADAM: We find that reports
both verbal and in print are in circula-
tion concerning the settlement of the
Wlnilow Will Case which are unfounded
and which do injustice to you.
- inasmuch as the negotiations in rela—
tion to that settlement took place whol—
ly through your counsel and without any
knowledge on your part until the final
proposmon was made, we think it our
duty to make a simple statement of the
facts that you may be able to repel the
imputations that have been made to your
disadvantage. _,
On Tuesday morning preceding the
settlement Judge McCurdy invited Mr.
Seymour to his room and said to him,
that the casein his opinion had better be
settled. and stated at length his reasons
for that opinion, he also stated fully on
what terms in his judgement on arrange-
ment should be made. Mr. Seymour re-
P“ed that the appellees could not prop-
erly act upon suggestions for settlement
until Mrs. Winslow had by her testimo—
ny repelled the charges that had been
made agninst her. Judge McCurdy stated
that putting her on the stand might haven
tendency rather to prevent a,“ aid ‘,
settlement, that although he knew noth-
ing on the subject, yet from the manner
in which other witnesses had been cross-
examined, there was reason to sup e
her cross-examination might be long and
irritating. Mr. Seymour replied that
however that might be, her counsel
could not advise her to consent to any
compromise fintii she had been examined
as a witness in Court. As Mr. Seymour
was about leaving, Judge McCurdy sug«
gestcd that perhaps Mrs. Winslow might
be examined in chief, and her' cross-ex-
amination postponed. Mr. Seymour re—
marked that he himself could see no air
jection to that course,but could not con-
sent without the advice of his associates.
Late the same evening the counsel for the
appellees met, and the substance of the
interview between Judge McCurdy and
Mr. Seymour was communicated to us.
We thought it injudicious to disregard
the suggestions of the Judge, and we de-
cided to apprise Mrs Winslow of the fact
as soon as her brothers-in-law and coex-
ecntors should arrive in town. As the
Court was about to open on Wednes-
day, Mr. Seymour met Judge McCurdy
at his room in the Court House, and sta-
ted to him that we had not been able
to act upon his advice on account of the
absence of the Messrs. Winslow ; that
we expected them that day, and that
when they arrived the matter would be
submitted to their consideration and that
Mrs. Winslow would be put on the stand
as the first witness that morning. Judge
McCurdy was understood to say that he
had suggested to the counsel for the ap-
pellants a postponement of the cross—ex-
amination of Mrs. Winslow. Mr. Sey-
mour then stated that we should make
no objection to that and Judge‘Mchrdy
sent for Chas. Chapman, one of the coun-
sel for the appellants, and they had an
interview at which we were not present.
Mrs Winslow, at the time she was
called to testify as a witness had no inti-
mation of what had taken place in rela-
rion either to her compromise or exami:
nation. She was examined in chief, and
expected the usual cross—examination
and was disappointed, and on our return
to the hotel complained that ‘any. delay
had been permitted. When the examl’e
uation in chief was closed the counsel for
the appellants were asked in the usual
way to cross-examine, we did not then
know whether they had concluded to
cross—examine her or not. They waived
for the present their right of cross-exam-
ination, although she was then réady,-
and was at all times ready ”to be cross-r
examined, and to make a full disclosure
of all the facts within her knowledge
whenever called upon for that purpose.
Mr. John F. Winslow arrived iu’town
about 5 o‘clock in the afternoon of Wed-
nesday, he was immediately informed of
what had taken place, a cousultatidn was
then held of the Counsel, at which he
and other friends of Mrs. Winslow' were
present, and, in view- of the suggestion of
the Judge, and in consideration, that, by
an arrangement, the pending ligitatiou
would be brought at once to final close,
and long, tedious, and expensive ligita-
tion in future avoided, it was decided to
advise Mrs. Winslow to assent to the sr-—
raugemeut that was subsequently made
by the parties. Mrs Winslow had no in-
timation that any negotiations were in
progress, yet she yielded to the advice of
her friends and counsel, insisting, howev-
er, that the will was made by her hus-
band iu the full possession of his mental
faculties, and that it fully and freely, ex:
pressed his will regarding the disposition
of his estate, of which her counsel enter-
tained no doubt.
If you think it important to make this
communication public, you are tit liberty
to do so in such manner as you may
deem proper.
