TERRIBLE RAILROAD CATASTROPHE —Au
emigrant train of eleven cars, containing
351 German emigrants, running on the
Grand Canada Trunk Railroad, plunged
over Beloit Bridge, on Tuesday morning,
into the water below, and it is supposed
350 have perished. Some 30 or 40 have
been taken out, all of whom were more
or less injured. In some of the cars not
- a soul was saved. The conductor was
killed.

 

 

 

MONTREAL, J one 30.

The number of bodies recovered from
the ruins of the railroad train at St. Hila-
rie is 87—number wounded 80.

The cars are in a pile, fragments rest~
ing on a barge which was passing through.
The locomotive is submerged out of sight.
The engine driver, Wm. Birney, has been
arrested and sent to jail.

It is impossible to identify or obtain a
correct list of the names of the dead.
They came by ship Vicar from Bremen,
and appear to be Poles, Danes, Sweeds,
Prussians, Austrians, Bohemians, and
some Italians. They were going to Wis
cousin.

Repeal of the Commutation
Clause.

The House have finally agreed with
the Senate to strike out the $300 com-
mutation clause of the enrollment act,
by adopting the substitute of Mr. Smith-
ers of Delaware. This has important
differences from the Senate bill, but a
committee will harmonize them. The
fact that the government needs and must
have men, has led to this change of sen-
timent in the House, on the commutatii 11
clause. The bill, besides repealing this
clause, provides that the President may
give sixty days’ notice Of a draft, dui ing
which time volunteers will be accepted,
to be paid a bounty of $200, $300, and
$400, according as they enlist for one,
two or three years. The President may
then draft for one year in every town the
quota of which is not filled. But the
most important provision is that the
governor of any state may recruit in the
rebel states.—Hartford Press.

From the Journal and Courier.

Whoever will send the New Haven,
Hartford, or other State papers to me,
for distribution to the soldiers of this reg-
iment. will confer a great favor. Our
heroic and self sacrificing men are pass
ing through a terrible and trying ordeal,
and I wish to furnish them with reading
matter of local as well as of general inter-
est. Since this regiment landed at Ber-
made, our entire loss in killed, wounded
and prisoners, has amounted to 355 offi-
cers and private soldiers. My heart in
sympathy and prayer for the brave men
of my charge, and all the energies which
I possess, shall be devoted, through God’s
grace, to their spiritual and temporal
welfare.

Friends at home, pray for your loved
ones here. Send io them frequently 'en
conragiug letters. Any comforts or del.
icacies you may send to me, for our sick,
will be gladly received and carefully used.

Actuated by a spirit of patriotism,
your loved ones are breasting the storm
of Confederate injustice and wrath, that
you may continue to have a good gov-
ernment, liv in security, and enjoy the
invaluable b essings of civil liberty.

3‘ A Fremont meeting was held at
Cooper Institute, New York on Monday
evening last. The Tribune says:

“ It is no disparagement to Gen. Fre-
‘mont to say that the meeting in his be-
half was the broadest burlesque of the
season. It was large, spirited, enthusi-
astic, but was not largely composed of
'Frcmonters, nor specially enthusiastic for
Fremont. It was honestly and truly an
. anti-Lincoln meeting, yet there were prob-
ably as many present who support Lin-
coln for re election as ever expect to vote
for Fremont. The list of Officers, the
. speeches, and nearly everything else, tend
to show its utter baselessness, regarded
as amovement to make Gen. Fremont
ons‘next President on the Cleveland
platform." ‘

Brookfield & White Plains R.R.

The “ modus operandi” involved and evol-
ved in the passage of the Bill for the Incor-
poration of the Housatonic do Northern R.
R., through both Houses of our Legislature,
last Week, most unpleasantly suggested a
transfer of the malign influences of the Alba-
ny lobby to our own hitherto incorruptible
body. To recapitulate: a New York Car-
poration, without a single bona-fide Conn.
resident as Director or Manager, and but one
nominally so, comes up to Connecticut and
applies for a charter for a road tapping the
Housatonic railroad at Brookfield, running
down to Danbury, and thence to a junction
with the Harlaem road at White Plains. To
this proposition in the abstract, there could
be no objection, provided capital for its con-
struction could be secured,—(which we very
much doubt,)—but when it is remembered
that only last year this State granted a char-
ter to another railroad (Boston & Erie,) which
within the limits of the State runs very near-
ly parallel to the present one, and forms a
junction with the Harlaem but a few miles
above it, the inconsistency and positive iniq-
uity of the measure, becomes apparent.

Again, by cc mmon consent, it was admit-
ted that the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad
would be ruined, and the money invested in
its construction by citizens of this State, be
irredeemably sunk. Yet there were not
wanting men in the present Legislature, to
rise in their places and assert that the plight-
ed faith of the State to guard its citizens in
such investments, was of no manner of con-
sequence, and that every one who puts mou-
ey in a railroad must run his chances of the
State of Connecticut swindling him out of his
investment by granting charters to others run
ning immediately parallel and directly in oppo-
sition thereto.

Such a code of morals is not of New
England growth we are well assured. Yet
it found many advocates, and chief and fore-
most among them, the good people of Dan-
Imry. Now we presume Norwalk can stand
the loss of our little railroad, and most of the
stockholders resident here may be able
to stand the loss of their money invested
therein,but such arguments as were present-
ed in advocacy of this measure were men-
strous. The bill passed the Senate by the
following vote :—

_ Yeas 9, Cowles, Sanford, Townsend, Har-
ris, Taylor, Hodge, Hotchkiss, Fowler and
Fuller. Nays 6, Kendrick, Bennett, Cundall
Simmons, Allen.

Mr. Adams, yea, paired with Mr. Morgans
Day; and Mr. Chadwick, nay, with Mr. Gid-
dius yea. Mr. Plant was absent.

WThe resignation of Sec. Chase took
the Country by surprise and the gold gam-
blers seized the event to run up their staple
to 280! The President tendered the success-
ion to Gov. Todd of Ohio, but it was by him
declined. Next it was tendered to Senator
Fesseuden of Maine, with some prospect of
it being accepted.

Various pretexts are assigned as explana-
tions of the resignation of Mr. Chase. But
we presume it is directly or remotely conuec
ted with the slanderous charges made by that
black-guard and rowdy Maj-Gen. Blair, and
the President's continued endorsement of
him.

The gold bill was repealed Friday. It was
passed by Congress, at the urgent solicitation
of Secretary Chase and others, but failed to
accomplish what they expected from it. Up
der the combined influence of this repeal,
and of Senator Fessenden‘s appointment as
Secretary of the Treasury, gold declined
Friday more than fifty per cent.

Dedication of Fitch’s Soldiers’
Home.

We regret that we have not time to give a
more extended account of the truly interest-
ing and imposing ceremonies yesterday, ded-
icatory of Mr. Fitch’s munificent and patri-
otic gift to the disabled heroes from the 12th

Senatorial District of Connecticut.

Ex.-Gov. Minor was Grand Marshall on
the occasion. Philandcr Button, Esq, of
Greenwich, was Chairman of the assembled
masses, and that he made a good presiding
officer we have the special assurance of Mr.
Greeley that he was the best one he ever en--
countered. Prayer was offered by the Rev.
J. W. Coleman, Pastor of the newly organi-
zed and prosperous little Presbyterian Ch’ch
of Dorian. Speeches were made,—appro-
prints and eloquent,—by Rev. A. N. Gilbert,
Horace Greeley, and Col. J. E. Peyton, of
Kentucky. Music by the Winslow Baud.—
Military Escort—the fine Greenwich Com-
pany, Capt. Height. Collation followed
afternoon speaking. Renewed addresses,fire
works, &c., &c., in the evening.

A large flag surmounting a tall pole on the
premises here this inscription “Fitch’s Home
for the Soldiers.” The name was duplicated
in one the fire-work pieces—the closing one
of which bore the motto—“God bless the
Trustees.” There were from 2500 to 3000
persons present and the exercises formed a
most gratifying closing up of glorious fourth.
To Representative Cummings of Darien, the
public were largely indebted for the perfect
and harmonious workings of all the arrange-
ments. May his shadow never be less.

OUR SCHOOLS.

HILLSIDE SEMINARv.—Mrs. Louisa A.
Smith’s Young Ladies’ Institute delighted its
friends and patrons on Friday evening last,
in another of those re-unions which have
proved so successful in promoting a popular
interest in its welfare, and also in exhibiting
the proficiency of attainments of its pupils.
Success attend the noble institution.

SELLECK’S SCHOOL—This Institution, to
which we always refer with a special local
pride, “ adjourned over for one week" in true
legislative style, to give its patriotic young
students an opportunity to visit their homes
and “celebrate” the ever memorable 4th of
July. Few towns can equal Norwalk in the
high character of its schools, and for young
gentlemen, we know of none equal to the
Selleck School.

UNION SCHOOL—The children of the old
Union were summoned together at an early
hour on Saturday, to visit Roton Point, but
the rain setting in the expectant little people
were disappointed. The pic-nic was held
yesterday, however, and passed offjoyously.

Our various other Schools, we believe are
in a flourishing condition, with teachers of
superior attainments, &. a higher grade of ex-
cellence both in discipline & education. We
may well feel proud of all our institutions of
learning.

WESTON.—The Principal of the Weston
School came into town with his omnibus load
of students on Friday, making a decidedly
unique appearance—though their gray uni-
forms, with stars on the collars, suggest un,
favorable criticism to the eye of one fresh
from the lines of rebeldom. Barring this
question of taste, the Weston School is very
justly-popular. Success to it.

We call attention to the adv, of this Com-

ble auspices, our present honored Speaker of
the House of Representatives being its Pres-
ident and Mr. Elmer of the State Treasury
Department, its Secretary. The principles
of Life Insurance are so well understood that
we deem it unnecessary to urge one word in
advocacy of their universally recognized im-
portance. No man ofnzodcrate means with
others dependent upon him, can afl'ord not
to have his life insured. We took out a pol-

icy at nineteen and have continued it till :

now, and deem the money paid the best
investment of our life. We presume agents
will soon canvass the towns in this section
in behalf of the Continentiai, and we bespcak
for it, the fullest confidence, knowing as we
do, its managers to be gentlemen of the
highest responsibility and personal integrity.

New York Correspondence.

NEW YORK, J one 29th, 1864.

We are having excessively warm weather
at present, and no refreshing showers des-
cend from lieavcnvto lighten the burden of
heat that oppresscs the Metropolis. The
families of our business men are daily leav-
ing the city for the country,where they hope
to enjoy fragrant breezes and woodland
strolls. ‘

President Lincoln’s letter of acceptance of
the Baltimore nomination appears in the pa-
pcrs of this morning. It meets with almost
universal approval from the loyal people.—
Most Presidential nominees are apt to in-
dulge in lengthy responses to the notification
of nomination, but Mr. Lincoln does not do
so. Brevity and conciseness mark all his
epistles.

The recent Fremont demonstration at the
Cooper Institute was far from being a suc-
cess. Of the three thousand people who as-
sembled to witness the proceedings, a major-
ity were democrats, who frequently vented
their enthusiasm by hearty cheers for Mc-
Clellan. Probably not more than one-third
of the audience favored the Pathfinder’s
election to the Presidency.

Dr. Orestus A. Brownson, the principal
orator of the evening, resides at Elizabeth,
N. J ., where he publishes a Catholic Quar-
terly Review. In 1862 he ran for Congress
on the Union Ticket, against Hon. W. G,
Steele, the democratic candidate, but was de-
feated by over 5,000 majority, in spell of
about 25,000 votes. That he was not then
very popular is evident from the fact that the
Union candidate for Governor polled far
more votes than himself in every County in
the Distiict. Dr. Brownson is noted for ec-
centricity and lack of stability. Within the
past ten years he has been a member of at
least three political organizations, each wide-
ly differing from the other. Itis, therefore, a
matter of no surprise that he should now be
found in virtual alliance with the enemies of
the Government, although nominally sup-
porting a Republican. His declaration that
he would cheerfully support Vallandigham
for President .in preference to Lincoln, pla-
ces him in his proper position. There let
him remain. ,

John Cochi'aue, the Cleveland nominee
for the Vice-Presidency, also addressed the
meeting in favor of Gen. Fremont, but did
not indulge in the coarse vituperation of the
Executive which characterized Brownson’s
effusion. Gen. Cochrane is alawyer by pro-
fession, and a resident of this city. Last
Fall he was elected Attorney-General of the
State by over 29,000 majority. Nineotenths
of those voting for him were then and still
are in favor of President Lincoln's re-elec-
tion. Gen. Cochrane in taking the course
he is now so zealously pursuing, has be-
trayed the confidence reposed in him by the
loyal men of New York, and he ought. in
justice to them, to resign his official position.
One thing is certain, he will not be re-elect—
ed. In this connection it is perhaps proper
to remark that Gen. Fremont, as well as
Gen. Cochrane, is a resident of this city. He
resides in Ninth street, and has done so for
many years past. Comment is not necessa-
ry.
Nearly all the democratic papers of this
State heartily rejoice at the Fremont move-
ment, and give it all the encouragement they
can. 0n the other hand the Union journals,
without exception. denounce it, and zealous-
ly sustain the Baltimore nominations. A
few—not more than two or three journals
recently established, are in favor of Fremont.
The New Nation, the New York organ of
the Pathfinder, is said to have originated in
the office of a prominent democratic jour-
ual published here. The truth is the nomi-
nations 1 of Fremont and Cochrane were
made partly for the purpose of gratifying
the political aspirations of the former, but
chiefly to secure the election of a democrat
to the Presidency.

Mr. August Belmont’s proclamation post-
poning the Chicago Convention to the 29th
of August does not meet with approbation
from the masses of the democratic party.—
But such postponement was absolutely nec-
essary to save the party from disruption —
Were the Convention to assemble on the 4th
of July, the Peace wing would insist upon a
platform in favor of a cessation of hostili-
ties, as well as the nomination of an avowed
friend of Peace to either the Presidency or
the Vice Presidency. The nomination of
McClellan for President would perhaps be
carried, but it- is well known that he would
uot accept it unless made upon a platform
favoring a vigorous prosecution of the war;
and the leaders of the party, knowing that
unless such a platform was carried they
could not hope for success in the election,
would therefore insist upon it. But the
Peace wing would secede from the Conven-
tion ere giving any countenance to such a
platform. This, then, was the dilemma
staring Belmont in the face, and which

But postponement or no postponement the
late Of the democratic party is scaled. Its
various factions cannot cordially unite upon
either McClellan or Valiandighum, but will
probably insist upon running ,both. A5 for

would as soon support Wendell Phillips for ~
the Presidency as he.

WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, l
July 3,—9 P. M.

To Maj. Gen. Dir .-

Thc following telegram dated today at
Marietta, GIL, was received this evening
from Gen. Sherman, giving the successful
result of the flanking operations which have
been in progress for some days back. The

' movement on our right caused the enemy to

evacuate, and we occupied Kenasaw at day-
light, and Marietta at 8 o’clock a. m.

Thomas is moving dowu the main road to-
wards the Chattahoochic, and McPherson
toward the north of Nicknjack, on the Yard-
town road. Our cavalry is on the extreme
flanks. Whether the enemy will ll‘llt this
side of Chattahoochie will soon be known.

Marietta is almost entirely abandoned by
its inhabitants, and more than a mile of the
railroad iron removed between the towu and
the foot of the Kcnnsaw. .

A dispatch from Gen. Grant's bead-quar-
ters, dated at 9 o‘clock this morning, gives
the following results of Gen. Wilson’s ope-
rations :

Sixty miles Of railroads were thoroughly
destroyed. The Danvillc road, Gen. Wilson
reports, could not be repaired in less than
40 days even if all the materials were on
hand. Hehas destroyed all the blacksmith
shops where the rails might be straightened,
and all the mills where scantling for sleepers
could be sawed. Thirty miles of the South
Side road were destroyed. Wilson brought
in about 400 negrocs: and many of the vast
number of horses and mules gathered by his
force. ,

Gen. Wilson reports that the rebels slaugh-
tered the negroes without mercy they rctook.
Wilson's loss of property is a. small wagon
train, used to carry ammunition, his ambu-
lance train and 12 cannon. The horses of
the artillery wagons were generally brought
off. Of the cannon two wore removed from
the carriages, the wheels of which were bro-
ken, and the guns thrown into the water.—
One other gun had been disabled by a rebel
shot breaking the trunions before it was

A rebel force made its' appearance near
Marlborough this afternoon, and were at last

We would call the attention of our read-

vertising columns. As Mr. White is com-
paratively a stranger here, we publish below
a testimonial received by him from the well
known Prof. Lowell Mason:

Mr. Wm. C. White has been known to
me for several years. I regard him as an
excellent young man, of undoubted moral
principles and of upri ht character. He has
had a very thorough usical education in
Germany, and is undoubtedly well qualified
as a Teacher of Piano Forte. to which he
has given Special attention. I can cordially
recommend him in this capacity.

mg” Mansfield’s Dispensatory says that
most of the Sarsapnrilla of the shops is inert
and worthless. Dr. Ayer in his writings on
this drug states that not only is it inert as
found in the shops, but so also are most of
the preparations from it, or hearing its name.
He shows, however, that this fact arises from
the use of worthless varieties, or unskillful
preparations by incompetent men; that the
true medicinal Sarsaparilla (Sarza Smilax
off.) of the tropics, when freshly gathered in
the bud, is one of the most effectual altera-
tives we possess. Combined with other sub-
stances of areat alterative power,llike Iodine,
Stillingia, ock, &c., it makes Aycr's Comp.
Ext. of Sarsp., which we have reason to be-
lieve is one of the most effectual remedies
for hiimors, skin diseases, and for purifying
the blood which has over yet been found by
anybody—Bangor (Me) Mercury.

THE Gog) BILL about which so much
'is said just at present, simply Stops all
fog operations in the precims metals.

We can buy gold at our office and pay
for it in legal tender or National Bank
notes, and we can Sell gold, if we only
had it on hand, the same as ever. But
to sell gold without having any .gold, or
to buy gold to be delivered at a future
time—in short, to gamble on the rise and
fall of gold without having any, is made
by the'Act a criminal offense, punisha-
ble by nfiiicof'not ices tliai; $1,009 for
each violation, or by imprisonment for
not less than three month.

The purchase or Sale of gold must be
made at the place ‘of business of either
the buyer or seller, and the gold must be
doliyered at the time, and paid for in
grrenbaclcs or National Bank notes.—

SENATE.—Pi‘tiyei‘ by the Rev. Mr.
Birch.

Resolution for inmrporatiou of the
New York, Housatonic and Northern
Railroad Company.

Mr. Giddings explained the proposed
route Of the road, and stated that it was
the wish ofthe peOple of Litchfield Coun-
ty that the resolution be passed.

Mr. Bennett Offered an amendment
providing that in case the road Shall pass
through any portion Of the town of Dan
bury, the company shall cross the Danbu
ry, road on certain conditions.

Mr. Giddiugs thought the resolution
should pass precisely as it came from the
House. He thought when the people
asked for the chartering ofa road, it was
not necessary for them to inquire wheth-
er the stock of this or that road should
be effected.

Several gentlemen favored the amend-
ment, on the ground that other railroads
in the State would be required by
the passage of this bill.

Mr. Hodge Opposed the amendment.
He had hoped that the bill was to be
killed, it would be done in an honorable
manner, and not in a round-about way
He believed in chartering railroads, and
letting them take the chances. The peO
ple of Litchfield County demanded the
chartering of this road as a right, and he
hoped the Senate would not refuse it.

The amendment was further discussed
by Messrs. Kendrick, Giddings, Adams,
Chadwick and Morgans, but before a.
vote was taken the Senate adjourned.

Messrs. lierrinm,l§c11drick and Ben-
nett recorded flieii- votes against the flow-
nge bill; Mr. Morgans voted in its favor.

WARREN’S IMPROVED FELT, CEMENT AND
GRAVEL ROOFING—We refer to the above
roofing, believing it to be decidedly the
best, most durable and cheapest known in
this country, the merits and popularity of
which are SO perfectly demonstrated about
the village that we refer to it, thinking that
we may thus confer a favor upon our read-
ers and the public generally. Very many of
the best buildings are covered with this
material; our own being one of the number.
Materials which are liable to be confound-
ed With this have long been in use for cov-
criug factories and burns, &c., but never un-
til this rccentdiscovery has any kind of Ce-
ment Roofing been used for our best resi~
deuces. The combinations of this roofing
are such as to render it perfectly water‘-
proof; makes solid, handsome work, is u
very great saving of at least 25 per cent
over any other roofing in use.
