National Union Nomination
FOR PRESIDENT,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
’ of Illinois.
For: VICE PRESIDENT,
ANDREW JOHNSON,
of Tennessee.
The Country.
Glorious news greets us from Mobile. We
have gained a decided advantage there.
From Sherman everything remains on-
couraging, although it is understopd that
Lee has dispatched two Divisions of his
Richmond army to the rescue of Atlanta.—
Meantime Sherman’s guns bear upon the
city, and drop shot and shell at will into the
rebellious citadel.
With the Potomac army nothing new has
transpired. Our men are fortunate in being
able to rest while the sun is so scorching hot,‘
and where the water is so villainous.
The valley of the Shenandoah is now the
theatre of special interest. We have a large
force in hot pursuit of the fleeing raiders.
One considerable battle has been fought
with success to us, and another is imminent.
Washington is tranquil and thermomet-
ricallv more like the bad place than ever.
The “pirate” season has opened again and
close to the mouth of New York Harbor
and south and east of Long Island. A large
number of vessels have been captured
and burned. Great efforts are being made
for the capture of this audacious rover.
The war skies all in all, though yet lurid,
nevertheless more distinctly than ever be-
fore, hetoken smiling peace as coming again.

Quota of Norwalk.
There is a prevailing impression that the
quota of Norwalk is excessive under the
new call for 500,000 men. We are aware of
the frequency and frivolity with which many
of these claims have been urged in many
instances by others, yet we do believe that
there is reasonable ground for believing that
our call would have been many less, Qsome
say thirty-five,) if all those enrolled as sub-
ject to draft, and who, nevertheless, are
clearly entitled to exemption on account of
alienage or physical disability, had taken the
trouble to have had their names stricken
from the roll. .
We believe the enlisting and putting in
of substitutes goes on reasonably well, yet
far too slow to “ get us in out of the draft.”
3 A new town meeting is advertised, for the
purpose of increasing the amount of the
bounties, we believe, but personal efi'orts, as
well as large bounties, are indispensable to
secure our exemption from draft.
Push on the enlistments.

was also entered, but the burglars were dis-
covered and beat a. retreat without booty.
A rumor is in circulation, however, that the

Soldiers’ Fair.
In Wilton, the ladies are to hold a Fair,
under a tent, two days next week, for the
benefit of sick and wounded soldiers. The
Fair is to be held for a patriotic and noble
cause, and we trust the ladies will receive
the most liberal encouragement. Let all the
people join in the good work, do all they
can to assist the cause, and Wilton may ‘well

Electors’ Meeting.
The vote on the Constitutional Amend-
ment allowing Soldiers in the field to vote,
in this town resulted as follows: In favor of
the Amendment, 380; against, 72. It will
be perceived that the vote is quite small, al-
though the number opposed is larger than
it would have been had not certain cop-
per-clad gentlemen started a story which
was believed to a considerable cxtcnt by the
ignorant, that the object was to allow the
Negroes to vote. “Poplar Plain” turned out
en masse to vote against the Negroes, and as
the voters of this particular district derive
their political knowledge frmn the Bridge-
port Itavrmer, their votes show how reliable
their information is.

Another Pirate.
Another rebel pirate, English build, has
appeared on our coast, and has the past
week been destroying vessels between San-
dy Hook and Montauk Point. It has dc-
stroved a number of small vessels and one
largh Packet Ship, the Adriatic, from Liver-
pool for New York. A dozen War Vessels
were immediately dispatched in search of
her, but as the Ocean is alarge spot in which
to hunt for one v case] it 18 more than likely
that the Tallahassee, (the new Pirate,) will
like her predecessor, the Florida, get out of
the way, and commit depredations on our
commerce in other quarters of the globe.

Who would have believed it ?
Who would believe, that right here in
Norwalk there are men so blinded to party,
so lost to justice, patriotism and shame, as
to walk up deliberately to the Ballot Box
and deposit a “N0" upon the question
whether those noble men, who taking their
lives in their hands have gone to protect the
life, property, government and home of eve-
ry man in Norwalk, shall carry with them
their dearest rights of citizenship. Yet such
was the fact, sadly illustrated to-day. It is
needless to say that all such votes were giv-
en by those who find everything to land in
Jeff. Davis, and everything to complain of in
the Administration of their own Govern-
ment. It is some consolation to know that
the time will surely come when the memory
of all such will receive the loathing and ex-
ecration the world ever bestows upon trai.
tors. Surely our soldiers in the field will
not fail to discern from whence comes this
“fire in the rear.” In dijfl'erences of political
opinion we have no cause or right of quarrel
with any man, but of stabbing the Govern-
ment which protects and shields us, of dis-
honoring the flag we love, of aiding and
abetting murderous treason, we have no ade-
quate words of scorn and condemnation for
the crawling thing who will thus brave the pub-
lic scorn. 0.

The Fair Season.
The present month, the hottest of the year,
seems to be always selected by the Ladies as
the best season for holding their fancy Fairs,
and this year is certainly very prolific of
them. In this town, the ladies of Trinity
Chapel, are to hold a Fair, at Ely’s Hall, on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings
of this week, for the benefit of the Chapel.
In Westport, the ladies of Christ Church,
have engaged the County Agricultural So-
“ ciety’s Tent, and are to hold a fancy Fair,
for the benefit of their Church, and have a
“good time” for the benefit of themselves
and all who attend, on Wednesday and
Thursday Evenings, of this week. Ride over
and be counted in.
The ladies of the Methodist Church,
Darien, are to hold their Fair in Fitch’s Hall
Q1? Wednesday and Thursday evenings, of
t is week. What a delightful ride over there
on a beautiful moonlight night 1
The fair ladies of these Societies have had
fair experience in the Fair line, and will be
sure to have fair and attractive exhibitions
of fancy Fair articles, and FairRefreshments,
with fair young girls to attend the Fair ta-
bles.and will use fair endeavors and win-some
smiles in their fair exertions to please the
eyes and empty the fair pockets of their
friends. all of whom are cordially invited in
fair manner to attend each fair, armed and
equipped, with pockets fairly lined, as the
Fair custom fairly directs.

on Saturday, [the place for fine fish always,]
a striped Sea Bass weighing only forty-two
pounds and some ounces, caught in N orwalk
Harbor, by Thomas B. Smith of South Nor-
walk. It was truly a scaly monster for
these waters, and must have been “skyu-
gling” off his beat, as the soldiers would say.
It would be well to drop into Meeker’s store
occasionally, for if any one catches a larger
one Meeker will be sure to have it.

T00 Farm—Somebody, who must have
been a blood relation to the celebrated Baron
Munchausen, stated at a public meeting in
New Haven, last week, (and the story has
been repeated in Hartford,) that the Town
of Norwalk had voted to apprOpriate the
sum of $150,000 in bounties, to fill the quo-
ta of the Town. This would make a Town
Bonus of a little over $1.3 00 for each man
needed. Guess we are hardly prepared to
go quite so large a figure just yet.
The Selectmen have, however, in response
to a petition signed by many citizens, issued
a call for a Town meeting, to be held on
Wednesday afternoon, to take into conside r-
ation the propriety of paying alarger bonus
than is now paid.

NA-NTIICKET.
The Grampus Club,Commodore Ely, arriv-
ed home from‘thcir excursion to Nantucket,
on Saturday afternoon Aug. 6th, after a
week’s absence, haying enjoyed a pleasant
trip. ‘
The Club, consisting of 23 members and 8
musicians, sailed from So. Nprwalk, 111 the
schooner T. J. Owen, at 12 1-2 o’clock, on
Monday,Aug. lst. As we left the wharf we
received cheers and good wishes from a
crowd of “sympathizers” oil shore who
had collected together to see us off. The
cheers were responded to, followed by a
salute from Lester’s columbiads, music by
the Band, and waving of h‘andkcrchicfs 'till
the enchantment lent by distance had dis:
solved. We laid our course, with a fair
breeze, and at 4 o’clock, were off the City of
Elms, bound cast at rate of eight knots an
hour. Supper, at 6 o’clock, when we found
that our Commissary-in-Chief and his able
Lieutenants,were fully equal to the emergen-
cy of satisfying the inner wants of the com-
pany, and with sharp appetites, whetted by
the salt sea air, full justice was done the
{are before us. After Supper the harmony of
the party was first broken, and with sad fore-
boding for the future, we Were compelled to
listen to the trial of one of our members, be-
fore the honorable J udgc Ad vocatc, for steal-
ing the uniform shirt of our Vice-Commo-
dore Jot-Zoe. The theft was only too apparent,
as the criminal was brought before the judge
wearing the identical article of clothing with
the owner’s name conspicuously embroid-
cred on the collar. Aftera most astute and
astonndingly eloquent defence by a beard-
less and hitherto briefless pettifogger, the
criminal was sentenced to play a five min-
utes, solo on the bass drum. We thought
the decision punished the club more than
the criminal, and much preferred the “Ka-
dooda code of law” which condoms both
parties to be soundly whipped in advance.
During the night the breeze was decidedly
stiff, and several persons on board felt a lit-
tle “uncomfortable,” but we believe the Sur-
geon’s slumbers were not disturbed. About
midnight we were startled by the cry of‘Gay
Head,” and some of the kowing ones woke
up and commenced an elaborate description
of this beautiful and brilliantly “radiating”
light, when our friend who sells so much
calico in in the lower village, desiring not to
miss any of the “sights,” tumbled out of bed
and went out Oh deck, to find Gay Head,
fifty miles distant and himself “sold”—cheap-
er than calico at war prices. He was im-
mediately promoted to the position of “Ra-
diator,” to hold the office during his natural
life time.
Early Tuesday a. m., we found ourselves
ofl Gay Head, in a fog; had a good view of
Holmes’s Hole, and of the Elizabeth Islands;
and with a strong breeze bounded o‘er the
billo w through Vineyard Sound and the fog
at a tremendous speed, and made Great Neck
Point, on the east end of Nantucket, at 9 1-2
o’clock, a. m., having made the run from
Norwalk in twenty one hours—a distance of
about 200 miles. We doubt if this run will
ever be surpassed, if equalled.
Finding ourselves to the east of the bar-
bor, we tacked ship for the first time ‘since
leaving Norwalk, and heat back and around
into the harbor, arriving at the wharf safely
at 11 1-2 o’clock, making the trip—from dock
to dock—in twenty-three hours. Going
ashore, we took ashort stroll through the
city before dinner, and found things decided-
ly dull, much worse apparently than last
year.
As this place is getting to be of so much
interest to our people, and so many parties
are visiting it the present season, a very brief
digest of its history may not be uninterest-r
In .
gl‘he island of Nantucket is situated in the
Atlantic Ocean, about thirty miles south of
the mainland, and one hundrcd miles from
Boston. It was first discovered by Captain
Gosnold, an Englishman, in 1602; in 1641,
the whole island was deeded to Thos. May-
hew and son, by Lord Sterling, at which pe.
find it was under the jurisdiction of New
York. In the year 1659, Thomas Matty, in
order to escape religious persecution, left his
home in Salisbury, Mass, with his family,
and settled on the island—the first white‘in-
habitants. The next year they were joined
by eight or ten families. - The whites seem
to have lived at peace withthe indians, and
in early years were devoted to the pursuit of
agriculture. When first settled the island
was covered, it is said, with oak trees, and
the soil was good and very productive, but
at present there are no trees, except small
pines raised from seed sown years ago, and
the soil is very poor. The face of the island
is quite level; there are many fresh water
ponds, and swamps; and there are but few
rocks to be seen. Mr. Macy, in his History
of Nantucket, to which we are indebted for
these facts, says that the whaling. business,
for which the city was at one time so in-
mous, was not commenced till several years
after the settlement of the island. ’
“The first whaling expedition was under-
taken by some of the original purchasers of
the island ; the circumstances of which are
handed down by traditions and are as fol-
lows :—-A whole, of the kind called“ scragg.”
came into the harbor and continued there
three days. This excited the curiosity of the
people, and led them to devise measures to
prevent his return out of the harbor. They
accordingly invented, and caused to be
wrought for them, a harpoon with which
they attacked and killed the whale. This
first success encouraged them to undertake
whaling as a permanent business; whales
being at that time numerous in the vicinity
' of the shores.”
From this small beginning, the business
gradually grew in importance 1in it became
almost the sole Occupation of the people,
and from fishing in small boats near the
shore, they gradually fitted out small smacks,
then sloops, brigs, and finally large ships,
and pursued the whole in every sea. In
1821 the number of vessels belonging to
Nantucket was 78 ships, 6 brigs, 16 schoon-
ers, and 59 sloops, At the present time we
understand there is not one ship engaged in
the whaling business entirely owned in Nan-
tucket. To give our readers an idea of the
vicissitudes of a whaleman’s life, we copy
the following statement of Capt. Geo. W.
Gardner : ~
“ I began to follow the sea at 13 years of
age, and continued in that service 37 years.
I was a. shipmaster 21 years. I performed
3 voyages to the coast of Brazil, 12 to the
Pacific Ocean, 3 to Europe, and three to the
West Indies. During 37 years I was at home
but 4 years and 8 months. There were 23,-
000 barrels of oil obtained by' vessels which
I sailed ll]. During my following the sea.
from the best estimate I can make, I have
traveled more than 1,000,000 miles. I was
taken by the English in the late war, and
lost all the property Ihad with me.”
The indians were taught by the whites,
and many of them assisted in whaling. In
1764a disease appeared among them, and
out of 358 belonging to the island, 222 died
with the disorder. The last. of the race
died in 1822.
The whaling business was interrupted by
the Revolutionary war, and during the war
of 1812 the business was at first entirely sus-
pended, and the port to all intents “blocka-
ded,” which caused much suffering among
the inhabitants.
In 1820 the population of the town, which 1
includes the whole island, was 7,266. On
account of the prostration of the whaling
business the population is fast decreasing.
In 1860, according to the census, there were ,
6,094 inhabitants, of whom only 292 were i
foreign born.' There were 510 more females
than men, and the proportion is now very
much increased.
There is a system of graded public schools,
besides private schools, and the youth pos-
sess advantages for common education fully '
as good as can be found on the main land.
The society of the place is truly excellent,
and one is surprised to find so much culture
and refinement in this out of the way “Island
Home.” The place is very quiet and peace—
ablc, and seems to be entirely free from the
'rowdyism and incbriety so common in our
’loug shore towns.
After dinner, Tuesday, most of our party
started for the “South shore” to see the
ocean, and fish through the surf for blue-fish.
We obtained two “Nantucket omnibuses,”
(horse carts, with seats along the side,) each
carrying about a dozen,and were drawn over
the sandy roads two or three miles to the
ocean, where several tried the fishing, but
soon gave up in despair, and watched with
admiration the skill displayed by a young
fisherman to the manner born. On our return
we were met half way across the plains by
another curt containing the Commodore and
several other members, who had come out
to escort us back. The Commodore was ri-
ding astride the horse, erect and dignified,
with a newspaper in his hat for a feather,
looking like a gallant knight of ye ancient
time. Our entree into town, through deep
sand and over stony pavements, was in bet-
ter style than most of the brilliant spectacles
of circus troupes.
In the evening several of us attended an
entertainment of Tableaux and Music, given
by the ladies for the benefit of the Sanitary
Commission. A lady reader rcad Dickens’s
“Battle of Life,” which was illustrated by a
series of beautiful tableaux, well conceived,
and put upon the stage in fine style. Music
was furnished by a quadrille band fro n the
main land. The Hall was crowded to ex-
cess. .
Wednesday morning arrangements were
completed for going out in small boats blue-
fishing, but man proposes, &c. Early in the
morning it commenced raining, and contin-
ued to rain nearly all day, and our nice laid
plans were spoilt. But most cheerfully did
we give up pleasure, and welcome the long
wished for and blessed rain. Although we
were obliged to forego fishing, the day was
pleasantly spent. Towards night some of
us were kindly allowed,by the lady managers
of the Sanitary Fair, to visit 'the Museum of
curiosities belonging to the Atheneum, con-
sisting chiefly of weapons, dresses and uten-
sils of natives of the Pacific Ocean Islands,
gathered by Nantucket whalemen. The
collection is valuable and interesting.
The great event of the season at Nantuck-
et, the Sanitary Fair—for. which great prep-
arationshad been made by the ladies—opened
this evening. The Club voted to attend in
a body, and tickets were purchased in ad-
vance for the Club, music and crew of the
vessel, thirty-two in all. At 7 o’clock, line
was formed, and escorted by the martial
music, we marched into town, halted and sa-
luted both newspaper offices, and then pro-
ceeded direct to the Fair, which was held in
the Athcneum building. We tendered our
music, four pieces—the best we had—to the
ladies, who accepted the offer, and the band
occupied the stage and played several times
during the evening. The Fair was one of
the best we ever attended. The main Hall
was most beautifully decorated, the ladies
having expended a great deal of time, taste
and labor in this work of love. The tables
were arranged in an octagon form, with pas-
sages on each side of the room,‘and were
covered with fancy articles of ladies} handi-
work, and beautiful shell work, many fine
specimens of which are now in Norwalk.—
In the center of the Hall was a neat, cozy
little flower stand, circular, and morticed (as
printers would say) just large enough to hold
two young ladies. The table was laden Willi
floral adornmenta raised in Nantucket and
Boston, but to our mind the Nantucket Flo-
rie, so cozily seated inside, together with her
“Off-island” friend, were only less beautiful
than the flowers they dispensed,and far more
attractive. As the Mirror says the Post Of-
fice, with its fair attendants,was preeminent-
ly a male (mail) attraction during . the Fair.
Perhaps our 00m. went back with the Nep.
club in order to personally answer some of
those letters he received. Down stairs a
large room was superbly adorned and con-
taincd a magical fishing pond, a fortune to]-
ler’s tent, arbor of rest, fairy grotto, etc.—
The Museum was not opened till the next
evening. The large Library Room was en-
tirely devoted to Refreshments which
were in lavish abundance. A miniature
fountain cooled and ornamented the center
of the room. The prices throughout the
Fair were low, and the tables attended by
the prettiest of pretty girls. AltOgcther the
Fair was very interesting, and we trust. the
pecuniary result was commensurate with the
time and labor expended upon it by the no-
ble ladies of the place. God bless them for
their exertions in behalf of our sick and
wounded heroes.
Thursday, bright and early, preparations
were completed for fishing, boats at hand,
&c. As one party were preparing to shove
off in the “Hyannis Packet,” as some cynical
person had denominated their safe and fast
sailing vessel, a committee appointed by the
club came aboard to inspect and seize all
contraband articles, but the volunteer skip-
per was too much for the committee, and the
result was that thc Ass’t Commissary with
the alphabetical and aromatic attachment to
his name, went overboard in his efforts to
make a change of base, and the other inspec-
tors were carried off bodily, but were finally
returned, when the vessel proceeded on its
way, and came in at noon bringing the most
fish. In another boat, four fish were caught,
when one of the members got so exhilcratcd
with the sport that he unconsciously threw
himself overboard for bait. Thirty-six fish
were caught altogether. The Commodore
and Sailing Master came last, and all hands
turned out to receive and salute them. They
'had been to a neighboring island,and brought
back a basket of eggs and four young “Mus-
keget tur-kics,” or gulls.
At 8 o’clock, p. m., we took our departure,
sailed all night, and was near Gay Head in
a dead calm in the morning, pitching, rolling
and tossing about in a decidedly sickish
manner. Some of us rowed ashore and
rambled around till noon. When we re-
turncd to the vessel alight breeze sprung up,
and at dark we could faintly sec Block
Island. In the morning we awoke to the
music of fish-horns, to find the vessel in a
fog, and everybody in a fog as to where we
were. We soon discovered Little Gull Is-
land, however, and sailed through Plum Gut
into the Sound. The fog gradually disap-
peared, and with a stiff breeze we made
good time, and arrived safely at South Nor-
walk about 5 o‘clock, P. M., having been
gone only five and one half days, and en-
joyed a very pleasant expursiou. SEC.

Great News From Mobile.
CA 1"l‘URE OFREBEL SHIPS AND ‘
FORTS.
By the arrival of the steamship Creole
from New Orleans. on the 9th inst., we
have details of the glorious achievements
buy
New ORLEANS, August 7, 1864.
It is officially announced here, from
the headquarters of Major General Can-
by, that the large fleet under Admiral
Farragut passed the forts at the entrance
of Mobile Bay at 8 o’clock on the morn-
ing of the 5th instant.
At the same time the land forces under
Major General Gordon Granger, invested
Fort. Gaines, engaging it in the rear,
and also taking the water batteries, out-
side of the fort, in reverse and silencing
them
The rebel ram Tennessee made an ob-
stinate fight, but was at last obliged to
surrender in a disabled condition, with
her officers, armament and crew.
Hcr commander the Rebel Admiral
Buchanan lost a leg in the action, and is
a prisoner in our hands. Lieut. Com-
stock of the same was killed. The move-
ment seems to have taken the enemy en-
tirely by surprise, and to have been ad-
mirably timed and managed throughout.
Gen. Asboth is reported to be on a
raid to the north of Mobile, with a force
sufficient to cut all the roads to Atlanta
or Macon, and to prevent communication
with Hood. '
Gen. Granger is said to have sufficient
force to take and hold the city, and prob-
ably before this reaches you, the old flag
will float vover Mobile.
Admiral Farragut passed the Forts in
his flag ship the “ Hartford,” the some
in which he so nobly ran by the Missrs-
sippi. forts below New Orleans two years
ago.
His ships—“ iron hearts and wooden
ships”—advanced. to this grand attack
lashed together in pairs, so that if either
one of a pair should be disabled, the oth-
er one conld tow it out of danger.
Admiral Farragut maintained his usu-
al position in battle, lashed to the maintop
rigging.
Nearly all the injury inflicted on our
fleet was done by the Tennessee, as the
fire from the forts was entirely harmless.
The Monitor Tecumseh, Capt. Craven,
ran on a torpedo directly opposite the
forts, and was seen to rise from the water
and then instantly sink. Her officers
and crew are all reported lost, except
eighteen who were picked up by our boats
in the hottest of the fire. Perhaps some
of them got ashore and are prisoners to
the enemy.
The Unidl gunboat Oneida received a
shot which exploded her boiler, disabling
her and scalding thirty men. The Hurt-
ford 10st twenty-three killed and twelve
wounded.
Further particulars just come in state
that Fort Gaines is taken, and Fort
Powell blowu up and destroyed. Fort
Morgan is closely invested by Granger.
The rebel gunboat Selma was captured
by the Metacomet, and the gunhoats
Gaines and Morgan are blockadcd in a
cove near Fort Morgan. Two others
were destroyed and sank in the action.
The Hartford had her side-wheel crushed
by an accidental blow from the Metacom-
et, and will have to anorth for repairs.
Admiral Farragut’s dispatch boat the
Phillippi, was burned just outside of the
forts, but from what cause or how many
of her crew are saved is yet unknown.
The fleet, consisting of the Hartford,
Brooklyn, Richmond, Lackawana, Ossi-
pee, Monongahela, Oneida, Galena, Port
Royal, Metacomet, Octorora, Seminole,
Itasca, and the monitors Tecumseh, Man
batten, Chickasaw and Winnebago, and
the Admiral’s steam barge Loyal, got
under way at the anchorage 011' the en-
trance to Mobile Bay, at sunrise, the
monitors in advance and the wooden ves
sels going tOgethc-r in pairs, the flag ship
taking the lead. When within point
blank range of Fort Morgan the vessels
ahead slowed down to enable the line to
close up, and at this time the fort and
rebel vesels opened fire on the fleet,which
was returned from the 100—ponnder Par-
rotts placed on the bows of our vessels in
the advance.
The Admiral waited until directly
abreast of Fort Morgan, when he. deliv—
ered a succession of broadsides from the
nine—inch guns of the Hartford with such
precision and galling effect that the rebu
els were driven away from their guns,and
the battery and the fort were silenced

How Boston Obtains Recruits.
Afew days ago, the British steamer
Bellona quietly landed at Deer Island, in
Boston harbor,‘ between four and .five
hundred men. After leaving the men,
she sailed for New York, bringing only a
few bales of rags, which was her entire
cargo. Two other similar trips have
been made—the first vessel from Ireland,
and the other from Hamburg. ’l‘he most
of the men on‘ their arrival were immedi-
ately enlisted into the service, receiving
the bounty, thereby relieving some eight
hundred Bostoniaus from the draft. The
men from Hamburg were gathered by a
man named Julian Allen, formerly Colo-
nel of what was known in New York as
the “ Polish Legion.” Six hundred men
were obtained in three weeks Alleu‘
went to Antwerp, when the object of his
errand was soon spread to the principal
cities near the seaboard. Immediately,
men came from all directions. They
came to Antwerp in crowds, highly ela-
ted at the idea of going to America, and
went about the streets carrying rags for
banners on long sticks. They Were not,
however, allowed to depart by the Bel-
gian authorities, until each man had
signed a certificate declaring that he
went at his own desire. The vessel was
capable of carrying eight hundred men,
but the authorities would allow only four
hundred men to go aboard, consequently
very many had to be left behind, which
they did very unwillingly. On the pas—
sage, the men were regularly drilled by
a young Pole, who has been an officer
in our army. Another load is expected
at Boston in a few days The facts are
well known on the~ Continent, but no
effort is made to stop it. The whole af-
fair was prosecuted by a few men in Bus.
ton, and kept an almost entire secret.—
Galigani’s Messenger announced the de—
parture of the last vessel from Antwerp,

tained 350 German recruits for the
American federal army.——N. Y. Post.

Wln every age of the World,
the professions have been slow to admit the
value of new discoveries, or the expediency
of adopting them in practice. It is not to
the legal profession that we look for reforms
in jurisprudence, neither do we find the ad-
vocates of medical reform among physicians.
Each deprecates whatever is found to inno-
vate upon received opinions and established
usage. Hence the opposition which medical
men too often exhibit to the use of private
remedies, whatever their acknowledged
value, or great efficiency in the cure of dis-
ease. No medicine has ever done more than
OSGOOD’S INDIA CHOLAGOGUE. The
promptness with which it cures Fever and
Ague, and eradicates bile from the system,
is its best rcommcndation. '
