Rain ! Rain 2!
Blessed, thrice blessed rain has come at
last. The drought in extent and severity
had become fearful, and others than mercena-
ry croakers began to have the most serious
forebodings of what was to come. - This
Monday morning ushers in the first rain we
have had of any account for more than two
months. What its extent or duration isto

earth may be thoroughly satiated, and all

Peace Propositions.
The great sensation of the week has been
the appearance ’of a bevy of Rebel Commis-
sioners at Niagara Falls, headed by that sin-
cere and entirely reliable patriot, George N.
Sanders, of the New York school of democ-
racy. It would seem from the published
correspondence that Mr. Greeley was
notified Of their presence and wishes, and
after advising with the President, was by
Mr. Lincoln requested to vIsit Niagara and
Offer them a safe conduct to" Washington for
the purpose of there submitting their terms
or propositions to the President in person.
Whether the affair was gotten up with a sin-
cere desire for Peace, or a sinister design of
helping the distracted peace democracy at
the Chicago Convention, we know not, at all
events the whole thing “blew out” through
an evident change of tactics on the part of
our Government after Mr. Greeley had been
dispatched. The white haired Philosopher
is very reticent as yet upon the subject, yet
enough has leaked out to show conclusively
that Mr. Greeley, at least, was desirous that
they should be permitted tO proceed to
Washington, and their “terms” obtained
from them. That Mr. Greeley thinks that
the advantage of the argument is with them
instead of us, in consequence of the “change
of base" is equally apparent. But there will
be a constant leakage till all is out, and the
world will soon be in possession of all the
facts of its last great wonder.

If the quota of any town or district is not

fill such quota, or any part thereof that may
remain at said time unfilled. All towns are
to have credit for any excess over previous
calls, of men furnished to either the army or

Thedraft is for one year only, but Valuer

years, as they may elect, and receive the
bounty provided by law for such period,
which is, $100 for 1 year, $200 for 2 years,

Norwalk’s Quota.
As near as we can gather it from our Se-
lectmen, the number to be raised by us to
escape a draft in Norwalk, will be about
one hundred and fifteen. As there are no ex-
emptions whatever under the new law, save
for physical disability, it stands every man
in hand liable to draft, to be on the alert to
get in his substitute, for it is very evident
they will cost less now than any time here-
after. '
A PublicIMecting is to be held at the Town
House, this~(Tuesday,) evening, to take into
consideration the best way to fill our quota.

The Christian Commission.
Our friends in South Norwalk have res-
ponded nobly to the appeals made to them
in behalf of this good cause. About two
months since they made a contribution of
fifty dollars, and at the same time sent eighty
dollars, (the proceeds of the Children’s Fair
recently held at Ely’s Hall,) to the Christian
Commission. But after hearing the state-
ments of Rev. A. F. Beard, who has recently
returned from a six weeks labor in the field,
they felt impelled to a new effort. Afew
members of the Ladies’ Patriotic Society
volunteered to make a thorough canvass,and
give every one an opportunity to do some-
thing. The result is, as we are informed,
two hundred and fifty dollars,besides twenty
dollars from the Sunday School of the Con-
gregational Church, which, with the previ-
ous donations mentioned, make the sum of
four hundred dollars donated to the Chris-
tian Commission from South Norwalk, with-
in three months. This is genuine patriot-
ism, and shows that the hearts of the people
beat warmly for our soldiers and our coun-
try.

pitcher to the “Wake,” of Southport; third
class, a silver sugar bowl to the “Katydid,”
of Bridgeport; no award made for the sec-
ond class, as there was but one boat entered
—-the C. S. Stratton, of Bridgeport, owned
by Tom Thumb—but as they claimed the
. prize, Mr. Sholes concluded to donate them
a Cake Basket, contrary to the advice of the
judges. Many visitors were at the Point

Paclflc Railway.
We Observe among the Commissioners
of the Pacific Railroad, just appointed by
the President, Dr. WM. M. WHITE,0f New
Haven. Dr. White is more generally known
through the State as our indefatigable State
Agent for the care of sick and wounded Cl.
soldiers, and has been stationed at Washing-
ton most of the time for the past two years.
The amount of willing service he renders
our noble boys in looking after their’welfare,
aiding them when sick, procuring furloughs,
getting their pay, or in extricatiug them from
the thousand red tape suarls into which
nearly every soldier who has business with
any Of the Departments is sure to get involv-
ed, entitle Dr. White not only to the lasting
gratitude Of the whole State, but to the best
Office the President can bestow. God bless
him i

Probably the best, as well as the Oldest

SWAN, Of Norwalk. For full twenty years
he has faithfully hammered and pulled, and
tagged and sweat to decorate (as only Swan
can do,) the mettlesome steeds of this equine
region. He still plods along, executing at
will someof the neatest specimens of handi-
work to be found anywhere, as deserving as
ever of a generous patronage and the fervent

WWe publish the following communi-
cation, reccived from a reliable citizen of
Westport, in the hope that if the Bridge is
really in a dangerous condition the town au-
thorities-will take immediate measures to
make it safe :
, The traveling public are warned against
exposing themselves to accidents while in-
cautiously traveling upon the bridge
which crosses the Saugatuck River in the
village of Westport. ' The middle portion
of the wall helping to form the long mid-
dle pier Of the bridge, is bulging out
several inches on the North side Of the
pier, and is ready to fall at any moment.
There is a corresponding depression in the
traveled path of the bridge above, which
shows that the earth is following the
spreading walls. The weight Of persons,
or Of a carriage and horses, upon that
weak portion Of the bridge, will add to
the danger of its suddenly tumbling down
and involving the destruction of prOperty
and perhaps the loss of life. In order to
avoid so serious an accident, travelers on
foot or in carriages Ere advised to keep
on the South side Of the bridge, till the
sleepy town wakes up and gets ready to
have it properly repaired.

N. Y. Independent,
We call attention to the adv. of this most
noted of all our religious weekly journals,to
be found elsewhere in our columns. The
Independent is a live newspaper, as well as
denominational journal, and while it has
sharp, keen edges, is conducted with such
consummate ability that its friends and pat-
rons number scores of thousands outside the
family Of the “Pilgrim Fathers.” We
have heard it very soundly berated at times,
but as with the Tribune of the Secular were,
we never knew or heard of one who had
regularly scanned its pages, who Would con-
sent to be without it.

BURGLARIEs.—Burglars are again ply-
ing their vocation in Stamford. On
Monday night no less than five houses
Were entered. Dr. Humphrey’s house in
Redford street was robbed of articles to
the value of about fifty dollars. The
house of Mr. George E. Scofield, in the
same street, was entered, and the thieves
succeeded in carrying Off his watch.
Mr. Simon Ingersoll’s house in Summer
street was robbed of silver ware and
some family relics. Mr Ingersoll was
awakened by the opening of his bed room
door, and on asking who was there. was
answered by some one “Oh, I’m sick.”
Thinking it was his son, Mr. Ingersoll
rose to get a light, when the fellow made
his escape. The hopse of Mr. James
Nichols on Hubbard’s Hill was Ieptered,
and the robbers succeeded in carrying 08'
a small quantity of silver ware.
The burglars made an attempt to rob
the house of MP PM“: on Clark’s Hill,
but Mr. P. unis too wide awake for
them. Hearing the noise, he jumped
out of bed, and chased the burglar round

DEAR GAzETTE :—It was deemed fitting
that this proudest day in our National Cal-
endar should not be allowed to pass in this,
the oldest city in the United States Of Amer-
ca, without some demonstration by its inhab-
itants of their sense of its importance. In
consequence of this feeling, a celebration
was gotten up, which—though impromptu
in its character, owing to the expectation
that we, who did the military part, would
. before the immortal Fourth be transferred to
some other locality—was one of the happi-
est occasions Of the kind it has ever been my
fortune to witness. The presence of Col.
N Oble,(wlio was at that time in Jacksonville
in command of the District of Florida, and
the active participation in the operations Of
the day by Major Allen, who, though pres-
ent, was kept in a state of unwonted quiet,
the effect of temporary indispositlon,) would
have added some features of interest to the
occasion, but notwithstanding all circum-
stances of disadvantage , the celebration was
an entire success. One fact which added
not slittle to the interest manifested by many
in the occasion, was that this is the anniver-
sary of the settlement, three hundred years
ago, of the ancient city by Don Pedro Me-
nendez de Agilva. The celebration conse-
quently was in part a tercentennary,and we
consider ourselves fortunate in that its cele-
ebration fell to us to perform.
Of the day may prove of interest to your
readers, and if you agree in that opinion you
may publish it. It is a matter of some re-
gret that our hopes concerning the occupa-
tion of Richmond and Atlanta by our forces
are not confirmed by our latest news from
the North, but our confidence is undimin-
ished that‘ under its present leadership the
affairs of the Union Army are going on in
the right way, and we hope that the time is
not far. distant when, under the workings of
a purer patribtism, the civil affairs of the
Nation, both public and private, will be di-
rected into such channels as will afford to
the armies in the field the support most need-
ed, evidence Of unanimity of sentiment, and
nnswerviug determination to persevere,
among all classes at home. MARION.
THE 88TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN
INDEPENDENCE, AT ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA.,
JULY 4TH, 1864.—The Natal day Of our
country was celebrated in a most fitting
manner in this ancient city. The citizens
and the military (the 17th Conn. Vols. now
in garrison here,) united with commendable
zeal on the auspicious occasion. The day
was ushered in by the display of the Nation-
al Flag on the ramparts of Fort Marion (the
oldest Fortress in the Union, the ancient
Spanish Castillo de San Marco,) and on the
Plaza under a Federal salute, and the peal
of the bells of the Churches.
At 9 O’clbck, A. M., the troops of the gar-
rison paraded on the Plaza, and were re-
viewed by Lieut. Co]. A. H. Wilcoxson, and
an appropriate, timely, and most e.oquent
Oration given by C. P. Chamberlin, Esq.—
Precisely at noon the National salute, fol-
lowed by vollies of musketry, and a “feu dc
joie” were fired and the troops dismissed for
the day. At 4 O’clock, P. M., a numerous
Company, consisting of citizens of St. Au-
gustine and other parts Of Florida—the of-
ficers Of the 17th, several Of the 75th Ohio
mounted Infantry, statioued at Picolata, and
some of other COrps at present in the city,
sat down at the “Magnolia House" to a din-
ner, such as omne host of that renowned
“Hotelierie” knows how to prepare, compri-
sing all the .deiicgcics of the season, among
them “stone crabs," "green turtle," wild tur-
keys, &c., fresh from ocean and forest, and
which must be eaten in Florida to be enjoyed
in perfection at this season. Judge D. R.
Dunham presided, assisted by Capt. Wilson
French, Provost Marshal of the Post, and
Chas. D. Lincoln, Esq, of Valusia County.
After a due cOusumption Of the delicious vi-
ands, (spread with profuse abundance,) the
cloth being removed, the following regular
toasts were drank with great enthusiasm, ac-
companied by the excellent music of the
String Band of the 17th.

SHERMAN’S ARMY
WASHINGTON. Saturday, July 23.
The National Republican extra says:
Government is in receipt of a dispatch
to day from the telegraph operator at
Chattanooga, via Louisville, in the fol-
lowing words:
“Atlanta is not ours yet. Our forces
find sirong opposition. It seems that we
are in possession of a part of the city,
but the enemy hold the rest.”
The Republican extra also announces
the following Oficial news of the battle
before Atlanta, on Wednesday last: An
ofiicial dispatch from Gen. Sherman
states that after the battle of that day
the General commanding the 4th corps
sent word that he had buried 200 dead
rebels in front Of his lines, and a large
number Of wounded were scattered upon
the field. Gen. Hooker commanding the
20th corps in advancing his lines, on
Wednesday, met the enemy in an Open
field and a most desperate battle, lasting
several hours, was the result. The one-
my were thoroughly whipped and driven
from the field. After the battle, Gen.
Hooker reported to Gen. Sherman as
follows ; “I have buried 400 dead rebels
and 4,000 wounded lie in my front.”
LATER.
Ofiiciai dispatches of Sherman’s battle
on Thursday are received. Our troops
gained a brilliant success.
Hood abandoned the field, leaving his
dead and wounded.
Sherman took nearly 4,000 prisoners.
Our loss 1,500.
General Fighting ofthe Rebels.
GEN. McPHERSON KILLED.
WASHINGTON, July 24—11 p. In.
The Government has received dis-
patches from Gen. Sherman, announcing
that on Friday the Rebels under Gen.
Hood massed a heaey force against his
left wing, consisting Of McPherson’s
grand division, composed of Logan’s and
Blair’s corps, and made a desperate at-
tack, gaining a temporary advantage.
The enemy, after terrific fighting, in
which a number Of charges were made
on both sides, were repulsed and driven
into their fortifications.
Major-Gen. McPherson, during the
battle, became separated from his stafi',
and was kllled by sharpshooters firing
from ambuscade. The loss of Gen. Mc-
Pherson is deeply deplored by the Gov-
ernment and will fill the hearts of all loy-
alists with sadness and gloom.
A later dispatch states that our forces
had obtained posfession Of the elevated
ground on the northeast of the town, and
that siege guns had been mounted which
commanb the place, also that Rebels
were burning their stores preparatory to
a retrograde movement. Everybody
feels confident that Atlanta by this time
has fallen into our hands.
