SPEECH OF GENERAL
BUBNSIDE.
Csurnn HARBOR, N. IL, Aug. 30.—
General Burnside arrived last night at
this place from the White Mountains, on
his way to resume his command. His
arrival speedily becoming known, large
numbers of citizens from the neighboring
towns assembled, and with Belknap’s cor-
net band serenaded the General, who, in“
response to the compliment, appeared on
the balcony of his hotel amidst the cheers
of the multitude, and spoke as follows :
“ My friends, I am sure you will ex-
cuse me from making any extended re-
marks on this occasion, because in the
first place it is not my habit to address
public assemblies, and just now I am re-
.turning from a brief pleasure trip through
your beautiful country, during which I
have purposely enjoyed recreation and
thought as little as possible of official or
public business. It will not be amiss,
however, for me to say that I have the
fullest confidence in the ability of the
government to crush out this wicked rc-
bellion. ‘
. “ I feel that the day is not far distant
when the despondency which now prevails
will totally disappear, and the people of
the North will see, as we in the field see,
that the end is at hand. Only united
effort is needed to enable the government
to move still more quickly. I refer to
this because I have lately witnessed this
despondeucy, and been surprised at it.
“ Why, I haveheard more grumbling
at the North in three days than I heard
in our whole campaign from the Rapidan
to Petersburg ! People seem to think
that our armies are wearing out without
corresponding exhaustion of the enemy.
This is a mistake. Our resources in the
field are greater than his. We have
three times his home resources untouched,
and can lose far more than the South and
still break down the rebellion.
there is no cause for despendency.
" Let every citizen do all in his power,
and the result is sure. It is not possible
that any cause so founded in iniquity as
this rebellion should succeed. But inde-
pendent of the right and wrong I am
sure from observation that we have the
strength and will to conquer.”
The General’s remarks made a strong
impression on the audience.

Atlanta.
“So Atlanta is ours ; and fairly won,” mod-
estly says the gallant and persevering Sher-
man. Thus it will be seen that his long and
glorious campaign has finally successfully
culminated in the reductig of the strong-
hold aimed at when be commenced his cam-
paign, and for which .he has steadily and
persistently surmounted, thanks to a merci-
ful Providence and the noble and gallant
soldiers of 'his Army, all opposition and at-
tempts of the rebel government to stop or
turn him back, This is a death-blow to the
rebellion, the finishing .one Grant will soon
strike at Richmond,aud then the rebels,both
North and South, will go down together,
unwept, unhouored and unsung, to the dark-
est depths of oblivion. Peace! so peaco-
‘ fully called for by our northern skulks will
be won, and a right honorable one it will be,
too, by our gallant soldiers under Grant and
Sherman, before the copperheads of the
Mrth can give their vote of sympathy for
the rebels. Already by this victory of Sher-
man is the rebellion virtually confined to the
two Carolinas and Southern Virginia. Now
all that is wanting is to strengthen Grant for
his final encounter with Lee, and all will be
well._ Let all the loyal people return thanks
for the great victory already vouchsafed
them, and take heart anew, the cause of lib-
erty and of human rights still progresses, and
will be sure to triumph.

The Chicago Nominees.
As already announced, and very generally
anticipated, the Democratic National Con-
vention has nominated Gen. George B.
McClellan for President, and Hon. George
H. Pendleton, of Ohio, as Vice President of
the United States. Gen. McClellan was
nominated on the first ballot, receiving
202 1-2 votes to 23 12 cast for the Hon.
Thomas H. Seymour, of Connecticut. The
vote was taken by States, and their aggre-
gate number of electoral votes is 226. The
nomination was subsequently made unani-
mous. Mr. Pendleton was nominated on
the second ballot. The votes given for our-
Thomas H. Seymour were really cast for Goo.
Seymour of New York, but he very mag-
nanimously, it is said, whispered to the Sec-
retaries to record them for “cousin Thomas.”
‘ Gen. McClellan was put forward by the
War Democracy, and Mr. Pendletonby the
peace Democracy; and by their nomination
upon the mine ticket and upon a non-com-
mittal platform, the managing minds of the
Convention seem to imagine they have suc-
cessfully bridged over the chasm between
the two wings of the Democratic party.
This belief we think a singularly mistaken
one. In fact by the nomination of Gen Mc.
Clellan the party has effectually spiked all the
big guns it has depended upon for execution
in the cOming campaign. Thus, they, clam-
oring against the war, have selected for can-
didatea General whose sole availability is
his services in carrying on the war and who
proposes to push it until “ the military power
of the rebellion is utterly proatrate,” (vide
his letter to Judge Woodward);
Declaimiug against arbitrary arrests, they
have selected as their leader the man who
arrested and imprisoned an entire State Leg-
islature—that Of Maryland.
Vocifcrous against the draft, and all on-
forced means of raising troops, they have ta-
- ken as their standard-bearer the very author
and originator of the draft system, who, as
long ago as 1861, made the most urgent
I'equest for an immediate draft.
«.D-o
. 0m- Quota Full.
We are officially informed, and it gives us
great pleasure to announce the fact,.that the
Quota of the Town of Norwalk is FULL,and
that there is a small balance in our favor.—
We most heartily congratulate the people
upon this gratifying result, and know that
they will feel proud {that the town quota
has been filled without recourse to draft-
ing. This glorious result is chiefly due to
the untiring and unceasing (efforts .of our
truly excellent Board of Selectmen, who
have worked very quietly, but persistently,to
aecomplish this end,paving attention to none
of the very many false reports and expres-
sions of impatience on the part of many indis-
creet and worried citizens subject to the draft.
Because they worked so quietly, some
thought they were accomplishing nothing
but we have been aware for a long time that
the Board were most earnestly and persis-
tently at work and would accomplish all that
could be done. To all others who are enti-
tled to credit for assisting in filling our quo-
ta, the people will be grateful. Again we
say ALL HONOR To THE SELECTMEN 0F
NORWALK.

TOWN COM. '
SALUTE—On Thursday morning last,the big
gun was brought out on Mill Hill,in the rear
Of the Town House, and a salute—of we
don’t know how many guns‘,—-was fired in
honor of the nomination of McClellan & Pen-
dleton. As the gun did not speak very loudly
for itself, we make the announcement, that
all may be aware of the fact. We are not
informed as to which wing of the Democra-
cypaid for the powder, but presume it was
a “peace offering” by both parties.
ANOTHER—0n Saturday, the Union men
fired a salute in honor of the glorious Union
victory at Atlanta. The small gun spoke in
thunder tones of joy to the hearts of the
people, but was a knell to the hopes of all
peace at-any-price men,and all who were not
true friends to the Union.
.<.>.
ACCIDENT—As Mr. Charles Prowitt, at
the Corner Store, was showing a customer
some Alcohol, in the cellar, it caught fire
andflashed up into his face, burning it bad-
ly, and setting his clothes on fire. He imme-
diately jumped from the door down on to
the rocks, some ten or twelve feet below,and
succeeded in quenching the fire on his per-
son, in the river. The floor of the building
caught fire, but was soon put out. There
was an unusual quantity of inflammable and
explosive articles in the cellar, and it is a
wonder the building was not destroyed.—
Mr. Prowitt was quite badly though not so-
riously hurt.

What is the matter 2
“Young Rapid,” as McClellan’s friends dc-
light to call him, has not yet accepted the
distinguished honor conferred upon him by
the nomination. He has been expecting the
nomination for two years. Why don’t he
accept it ? Is the platform too much for
him ? Has the brave General coura
enough to go into the fight with the Whl
flag flying, and attempt to storm the strong-
holds' of public patriotism and carry the
election? When he was first nominated.
hope told a flattering tale to his friends, and
they really thought there was some chaos of
electing him, but when Gen. Sherman was
heard from on Saturday, achange came o’er
the spirit of their dreams, and they woke up
to find themselves shivering in the winter of_
their discontent. Again, why don’t he pity
their sorrows and accept—his own sure po-
litical destruction ‘2’ ' ’

TIIE WILTON FAIR—We are informed by
a correspondent who forgot to sign his name,
that we were wrong last week in saying that
no thanks were due to southern sympathi-
zers for the success of the Fair. He says
the statement is incorrect, and conveys an
inpression erroneous and unjust. We are
glad to hear it, and glad to make the correc-
tion. We were informed, upon what we
supposed good authority, that the portion of
the community referred to, made a party
matter of it and staid away. We are glad
it was not so, for we know the Fair was not
intended to be either partizan or sectarian.
It was not a Republican fair nor an Episco-
pal, not a Presbyterian or Methodist fair,
buta fair held in behalf Of our sick and
wounded soldiers conducted on the broad
basis of christian charity.”

WAR DEPARTMENT, 3
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4th, 1864—8 P. M. f
To Major- General Dim .-
Gen. Sherman’s official report of the cap-
ture of Atlanta has just been received by this
Department. It is dated twenty-six miles
south of Atlanta, at 6 o’clock yesterday
morning, but was detained by the, breaking
patch of last night. .
As already reported, the army wrthdrew
from about Atlanta, and on the 30th had
made a break on the West Point Road, and
reached a gOOd position from' which to strike
the Macon Road. The right, under Gen.
Howard, was near Jonesboro; the left, un-
der Gen. .Scofield, near Rough and Ready;
and the center, under Gen. Thomas, at
Couth’s. Gen. Howard found the enemy
in force at Jonesboro Iand entrenched his
troops. The rebel Salient was within smile
of the railroad. The enemy attacked him
at 3 P. M. and was easily repulsed, leaving
his dead and wounded.',Finding a strong
opposition on the road, I advanced the left
and centre rapidly to the railroad, made a
good lodgement, and broke it all the way
from Ron h and Ready down to Howard’s
left, near onesboro, and by the same move-
ment I interposed my whole army between
Atlanta and that part of the enemy in and
around Jonesboro. .Wc made a general at-
tack ,On the enemy at Jonesboro, on the
lst of September. The 14th corps, Jeff. 0.
Davis,c arried the works handsomely, cap-
turing ten guns and about a thousand pl‘lS-
oners. In the night the enemy retreated
south, and we have followed him to another
Of his hastily constructed lines near Love-
joy’s Station. , Gen. Hood was at Atlanta,
but finding that we were on his road—the
only one that could supply him—and be-
tween him and a considerable part of his
arm , blew up his magazines in Atlanta, and
left in the night time, when the 20th corps
Gen. Slocum, took possession of the place;
the 5th of May, we have been in one con-
stant battle or skirmish, and need rest. Our
losses will not exceed 1,200. we have pos-.
session of over 300 rebel dead, 250 wounded,
and over 1500 well. '
[Signed] W. T. SHERMAN, Maj. Gen. ,
A later dispatch from Gen. Slocum, dated
at Atlanta, last night, (3d,) 9 P. M. stated
that the enemy on evacuating Atlanta, dc-
stroyed seven locomotives and eighty-one
cars loaded with ammunition, small arms
and stores, and left fourteen pieces of am!-
lery, most of them uninjured, and a largo
number of small arms. ‘
Deserters are constantly coming into our

From the 12th C. “I".
IN THE FIELD, NEAR HALLTOWN, VA.,
August 26th, 1864.
DEAR GAzE'I'rE :—Since my last from
Bermuda Hundred, we again visited the city
of Washington. From Washington we
took the ears for Monocacy Junction, and
went as far North as the Relay House, when
we changed cars to the Baltimore and Ohio
R. R. Having been used to seeing nothing
but low lands for two years, when we saw
the mountains along either side of the R. R.
we began to think that the Government had
no farther use for the 12th, and were going
'to dispose of us among those mountains.-
We finally arrived at the. J unctiou, where
we disembarked,‘ went into camp about 3
O’clock, but were to have no rest, for orders
soon came ferns to march back on the
Washington and Frederick Pike, for the
purpose of meeting our supply train,bccause
it was reported that Moseby and his gang 'of
thieves were on the leak out for supplies.
After marching to Hyattsville, a distance of
nine miles, We met the train, when we biv-
ouacked for the night. As soon as kettles
could be procured we had our coffee. The
Orderly was on hand to assist ill making it.
The next morning we marched back to
Monocacy, where we encamped until trans-
portation was furnished us to Harper's Ferry.
After reaching the Ferry, we took a little
exercise by marching up on to Maryland
Heights. We encamped on the Heights
until morning, when we started for the Fer-
,ry, crossed on a pontoon bridge, marched
through what was once called Harper’s Fer-
ry, but now a pile of ruins, crossed Bolivar
Heights'to a place called Halltown, a village
of half a dozen houses, where We encamped
for a few days, when we matched up the
valley that night, and bivousced at Berry-
ville, resumed our march next day towards
Winchester, but did not see the village, as
we eneamped behind a large hill about three
miles from the village. The: next morning
we moved towards Middletown, where we
halted about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and
encamped for a few days, When we began to
retrace our steps back again. After march-
ing and bivouacing, we arrived here once
more. Since arriving here we have heard
of the death of} Sergeant Smith, of Brock.
field. None kncwhim but to love him. We
regret his loss; but three months more, and
his time would have expired as a soldier,
and when his presence it home would have
made them glad. But God had ordered it
otherwise. The remainder of the boys are
enjoying good health, and send their kindest
regards to those at home. TIGER.

who have drenched the country in blood
—or sympathy for the thousands of brave
Union men who have sacraficed their lives
in the defence of their country. Its whole
tone is adapted to the Richmond market.
Some informal discussion upon a plaat-
form then took place, and the Convention
The Convention re-assembled at 4 o’clock.
Mr. Guthrie stated that the committee on
resolutions had agreed and were now ready
to report, and read the following resolutions:
TIIE PLATFORM.
Resolved, That in the future as in the past
we will adhere witlr unswerving fiidelity to
the Union, under the constitution, as the
only solid foundation of our strength, secu-
rity and hap iness as a people, and as a
frameworko government, equally conduct-
ive to the wel are and prosperity of all the
states, both northern and southern.
Resolved, That this convention does explic-
itly declare as the sense of the American
people that after four years of failure to
restore the Union b the experiment of war,
during which, un er pretense of military
necessity or war power higher than the cou-
stitution, the constitution itself has been
disregarded in every part, and liberty and
private rights alike trodden down, and the
material prosperity of the country essentially
impaired, justice, humanity, liberty and the
public welfare demand that immediate ef-
forts be made for a cessation of hostilities
with a view to an ultimate convention of all
the states, or by other peaceableI means to
the end that at the earliest practicable mo-
ment peace may be restored on the basis of a
federal union of the states.
Resolved, That direct interference of mili-
tary authority of the United States in the re-
cent elections held in Kentucky, Mar land,
Missouri and Deleware was a‘ shamefu vio-
lation of the constitution, and that a repeti-
tion of such acts in the approaching election
will held as revolutionary, and resisted with
all means and power under our control.
Resolved, That the aim and. object of the
democratic party is to preserve the federal
union and rights to the states unimpaired ;
and they thereby declare that the ' consider
the administration’s usupation o extraordi-
nary and dangerous powers not granted by
the constitution; the subversion of civil by
military law in states not in insurrection;
the arbitrary military arrest, imprisonment
trial and sentence of American citizens in
states where civil law exists in full force;
the suppression of freedom of speech and of
press; the, denial of right of asylum; the
employment of casual test oath, and the in-
terference with, and the denial of the right
of the people to bear arms as calculated to
prevent the restoration of the union.
Resolved, That shameful disregard of the
administraion to to its duty in' respect to
our fellow citizens who now and ~'loug have
been prisoners of war in a suffering coudition,
deserves the severest reprobation and scorn
alike of public and common humanity,
Resolved, That the sympathy of the demo-
cratic party is heartily and earnestly extend-
ed to the soldiery of our army who are and
have been in the field under the flag of our
country, and in event of our attaining power
they will receive all care, protection, regard,
and kindness that brave soldiers of the re-
public have so nobly earned.
The convention voted to proceed to the
nomination of a candidate for the Presiden-
'Icy of the United States. John P. Stockton,
.of New Jersey, in ;behalf ofthe delegation
of that State, nominated Maj. Gen. Geo. B.
McClellan, and S. S. ICox, of Ohio, in behalf
of a portion of the Ohio delegation, seconded
the nomination. ' "
Mr. Saulsbury, of Delaware, noninated
Senator Powell, of Kentucky Mr Stewart,
of Ohio, nominated Thomas Seymour, of
Connecticut; Mr; Wicklifl, of Kentucky,
nleminated Franklin IPiefcc, Of New Hamp-
5 he
Mr. Harris, of Maryland, seconded the
nomination of Thomas H. Seymour, and
proceeded A? eulogize his party services and
abilities. r. Harris then said, “ One man
nominated hereto-day is a tyrant. (Cheers
and hisses.) He it was who first initiated
the policy by which our rights and liberties
are stricken down. That man is Geo. B
McClellan. (Confusion) Maryland, which
has sufi‘ered so much .at the hands of that
man, will not submit to his nomination in
silence His ogfenses shall be‘ made known.
This convention is the. jury appointed by
the people to pass upon the-merits of public
men whose names may-be presented to the
support of the great democratic party. Gen.
McClellan, I repeat is a tyrant’ (Great Con.
flusion.) He said he stood there to indict
1m, _ _ .
A delegate—“ I call him to order.” I
The president said he hoped there was no
man present who would deny the right of
free speech. Certainly no democrat would.
At the same time, he hoped no delegate
would feel called upon to make remarks so
cliensive as to interfere with the harmony of
the convention. . ., .
Mr. Harris then read Gen. McClellan‘s
order of arrest against the Maryland legis-
lature, and proceeded to comment' upon the
same; but the confusion. was so great that
the speaker'couldinot be heard, except to
say that all charges of usurpation and tyrann
that could be brought against Lincoln an
Butler, he could make; and substantiate
against Gen. McClellan. . (Hisses, cheers,
and cries of “Vote for Jeff Davis")
The president’said he wished the conven-
tion would come to order. Let the gentle-
men from Maryland have f 11 heeriug, and
man who is ready and able to make ‘full e'x-
planation. ,
Mr. Harris then proceeded to say that Mr.
McClellan was an assassin of State rights,
and a usurper of liberties, and if nominated
he would be beaten everywhere as he was
at Antietam. He added that he could not
go home and ask a single member of' that
egislature to vote forsuch a man.- He would
not himself vote for him. (Hisses.)
- Mr,- Carrigan of Pennsylvania, raised a
point of order, that the gentleman havin
said that he would not‘Vote for Mr. McCle -
lan, if nominated, he had no right to take
part in the proceedings of the convention.
The president decided the point of order
well taken, and amid the wildest confusion
Mr. Harris retired from the stand. .
Gen. Morgan of Ohio,'said that as a fellow-
soldier of McClellan, he could not remain
silent when the uameaud fame of that dis-
tinguished'lgencral weresp shamefully im-
pugned. he charges made egutust him
were untrue - » -
The Maryland legislature was in session at
Annapolis. Gen. Joe Johnson 0-.' the rebel
army was at Annapolis. A conspiracy was
formed and certain members of the legisla-
ture were conspirators. The intended that
the State should secede, an an ordinance
of secession was formed. Maryland was to
be invaded, and overwhcl ed by the enemy
and takeuout of . the pion‘ What did
GemMcClellan do? He Simply tool-Ir the
best precautions in his‘power to thwart the
treasonabie scheme, and had he not done so,
he would have been guilty of the vilcst trea-
son. The man who says Gen. McClellan is
a tyrant does not know him. A thorough
soldier, with the gentleness of a woman and
the courage ofa lion. No braver, no more
amiable, no kinder and more generous heart-
ed general cxistcd‘on the face of the earth,
and no greater libel was ever uttered than
when such a‘ man is called a tyrapt. (Ap-
plause.) ' ' .‘ . '
Mr. Eaton, of Connecticut, passed a high
eulogy upon Thomas H. Seymour, but said
that his name had been used here without
his wish, and without the request of the
Connecticut delegation. '
Mr. Harris Of Maryland, explained that
what he said was that he would not go be-
fore tho people ofMaryland and ask them or
members of the legislature, to vote for him.
He did not say he would not vote for him.
He held himself bound to vote for tire cgpd'i-
date of the convention ' '
Mr. Jones of Maryland, regretted" that the}
o—-.
.diuaucc of secession.
.manded Immediate trial, even by drumhead
. out measure. Indeed, this one of the prom-
cntlcmau who took the‘stand in’defcnse of
acmMcClellan, assumed the ground that he
was justified because of collusion between
the members of the legislature and any rebel
general or army. Had he put it upon the
ground that he acted upon credable cvnden-
ces, he might have remained silent, but he
could not permit the legislature to remain
under such a falsehood.
.IGcn. Morgan then explained that he in-
tended tO say that McClellan acted upon
testimony regarded as creditable. .
Mr. Jones said so far from its being credit-
able, it had ever been pronounced by the
victims of that action as an utter falsehood.
The legislature had no power to pass an or-
Those arrested dc-
court-martiai, but instead of giving that
which the law guarantees to the poorest
they were told they could have their liberty
by givin their parolc.-- Some, worn out
by the fatigues of imprisonment, did finally
give their parole, ~.but others preferred to
ield their lives rather than submit to the
lumiliating test that was required of them.
They suffered long, and yet to this day
they knew not their accusers. Still he be-
lieved McClellan was too much of a gentle-
man and Christian to act as he did except
upOn what be deemed credible evidence.
Mr. Lon of Ohio took theatand in oppo-
sition to cClellan. ~ He said Lincoln had
been guilty of interfering with the freedom
Of speech, freedom of elections, and of arbi-
trary arrests. In your resolutions, he said,
you have arraigned him before the people
of the country for these tyrannies and usur-
pations, and yet you propose to nominate a
man who has gone even farther than Lincoln
in the pcrpetration of similar tyrannical mea
sures upon the sacred privileges and rights
of the people. McClellan is guilty of the
arrest of the legislature of a sovereign state.
He suspended the writ of habeas corpus and
helped enforce the odious emancipation proc-
lamation of Lincoln, the willing instrument
of a corrupt and tyranical administration
aiding while possessing military power all
its efforts to strip American freedom of its
dearest liberties. Will you so far stultify
yourselves as to make him the standard of
the democfisy ? With all his heart he hoped
not. He had never done otherwise, and as
between Lincoln and Fremont, and any man
calling himself half a democrat, he would
have no choice, and would be found voting
with his friends, but he begged the conven-
tion not, to to nominate McClellan. Almost
any other man who claims to be a democrat
would satisfy him, and would satisfy the
Northwest. Weak as is your platform in
many repects, we will stand up and do all
in our power to maintain it; but in God’s
name don’t add to its weakness by placing
such a man in nomination. ,,
Mr. Carri an of Pennsylvania followed in
answer to r. Harris, and quoted from Mc-
Clellan‘s letters to Burnside, to Halleck, and
to Buell, when these gentlemen were under
him, to show that he invariably admonished
them that the only object of the war was to
preserve the integrity of the Union and the
majesty of the laws; and that he invariably
cautioned them to strictly guard against any
infringements upon the rights of property
and person. (Great cheers.)
The president then stated the question
before the convention to he an ordering Of
the previous question, nominating a candi-
date for the Presidency, and it was ordered
Without diseent. A vote was then taken by
the states, viz: N. Hump. 7 for McClellan:

and the cheering lastiu several minutes.

of McClellan be made unanimous.
The nomination was then made unani-

NEW ENGLAND AND MC.CLELLAN ABUSED.
There were numerous meetings in the
streets of Chicago, Monday night, and the
craters were mostly of the ultra peace stripe
The tone of speeches was incendiary and
revolutionary, Inboundingiu the most vio-
lent 'abus'e of Mr. Lincoln and the adminis-
tration. New En land and Massachusetts
were special mar s for the abuse of the
speakers, and it was heaped upon them with-
inent' features in the talk of these copper-
heads both in ublic an private. It makes
aNew Englan_ man’s lood boil to hear
them.
The peace men pitched into McClellan
beautifully. Henry Clay Dean was asked in
the course of his speech ifhe, would; support
McClellan. ‘He replied. “Before God, citi-
Iaeus, WP have one idiot 'in“the presiden-I
Itial chair—ydo Inpt let es put another into it!”
A delegate from Ohio, in reply to the same I
question, asked'thc crowd he was harang-
umgifthey would Support Lincdln. They
yelled, “NO i” “No 1” “Then,” said he, “if
you‘will not support Lincoln, you do not
expect me to‘ support his dog, who, at his
master’s bidding, killed thousands of as
good democrats as the land ever made.” ‘

subject to which he has devoted his attention
for over fifty years. He has been in this vi-

for several weeks Last. Mr. L. is a profound

Death of Dr. Knight.
We find the following sketch of the late
Dr. Knight in the New Haven Courier: It
will be of special interest to Norwalk peo-
ple, from the fact that the distinguished phy-
sician was a native of this town:
Another of the great men of the generation
that is fast passing away, has departed from
among us. NO death has occurred in N cw
Haven for many years that has caused a
more profound or universal regret than that
of Dr. Knight. For more than half a centu-
ry be has been known in many of our house-
holds as one of the most judicious and skill-
ful of medical attendants, and to the commu-
nity at lar e as a man to _ be revered and
honored for his personal; as well as pro-
fessional worth. The deceasc of a physician
in extensive practice for so long a period in
a single town would naturally be felt as a
loss by any community. The relations,
however, which Dr. Knight sustained to the
Medical Institution of Yale College, to his
professional brethren—both in this state and
in the teat of the Union—together with the
remarkable traits of his personal character,
attaches an importance to his decease which
no amount of more professional success could
give,
Dr. Jonathan Knight was born in Nor-
walk, in this state, Sept. 4th 1789. His fath-
er was Dr. Jonathan Knight, a physician in
that town, who had previously been a Sur-
geon in the Revolutionary Army. His
mother was Ann Fitch, daughter of Asahel
Fitch, of Bedding. Dr. Knight was gradua-
ted at Yale College, with high honors, in
the Class Of 1808, at the age Of 19 years.
Two years after graduation, he was appoint-
ed onc of the Tutors in the College, which
position he resigned at the expiration of a
single year, in order to qualify himself for
his future duties.
On the first organization, in 1812, of the
Medical School in connection with Yale
College, and at the early 8 e of23 years, Dr.
Knight was appointed Pro cssor of Anatomy
and Physiology. How highly his merits
were a preciated by the late President and
the lea ing» medical men of that day in Con-
necticut, to whom the School owes its exist-
ence, may be inferred from the fact that he
was associated, as one of its instructors, with
such men as the late Dr. iEneas Munaon,
Dr. Nathan Smith, Dr. Eli Ives, and the
now venerable Professor Silliman, although
he was younger, by more than ten years,
than the youngest of his associates. It will
not be regarded, by those who are familiar
with the bistory.o the School, as invidious
to the reputation of the living, or unjust to
the memory of the dead, to say that what-
ever reputation the institution has enjoyed,
has been very largely due to the exertions,
the professional reputation, and the high
personal character of the deceased. Thor-
oughly familiar with his subject, first as
Professor of Auatom , and subsequently of
Surgery, trained by amiliarity with the best
writers to accurate habits of expression,
with a kindly dignity of manner, and a pro-
found sense of the responsibility incident to
rofessionai instruction, the reputation of
r. Knight as a distinguished lecturer has
.loug been established.
As a private instructor in medicine, Dr.
Knight attached to himself the respect and
affection of his pupils, to a remarkable de-
gree. The gravit , not to say the reserve.
of his natural c aracter, Was so blended
with a genial sympathy with his pupils in
their professional pursuits, that the respect
due to the instructor was admirably tem-
pered by their admiration and love for him
as a man.
It is, however, in his personal, rather than
his professional character—high as the latter
was—that the death of Dr. Knight is to be
regarded as a great public 10% With no
to erance for vice, and great detestation of
cunning and meanness, no man among us
was more gentle to frailty, or more consid-
erate of weakness, than he. Harshness
formed no element in his nature. With
singular penetration into character, and with
a quick appreciation of its infirmities, noth-
ing censorious ever passed his lips. Ani-
mosities, from which the medical profession
is not wholly exempt, never impaired his
noble sense of justice. Even those who
differed from him‘ most widely in opinion,
were sure of candor and fairness from him.
He held his own opinions with great firm-
ness, for firmness was a marked trait in his
character, but he allowed in others the same
freedom of opinion which he always vindi-
cated for himself. We have not space to
dwell, as we could wish, upon the peculiari-
ties of his well balanced character. For the
union and blending, however, of an admira-
ble natural constitution of mind, soundness
of judgment, great attainments, kindly and
charitable feelin toward all, with an habit-
ually consistent hristian life, we probably
express the common sentiment of all who
knew him, when we say that Dr. Knight has
left behind him no superiors. '
But thr of Dr. Knight’s early associates
as instruc are in the" College—President Day,
Prof. Silliman and Prof. Fitch—and but
one contemporary resident among us, and
rominent in public or professional life—the
on. Ralph I. Ingersoll—survive him. Of
his college contemporaries, who were our
fellow-citizens, and who have been conspic-
uous for their position—Dr. Tully, Dr. Tay-
lor, Dr. Beers, James A.- Hillhouse, Prof.
Gibbs, Judge Hitchcock, Prof. Goodrich
IGov. Baldwin and Gen. Kimberly—are all
deceased. Dr. Knight, at the advanced age
of nearly 75" years, is now added to that
number; going down to the graye honored
and'lamented as few men are, and as fewer
still deserve to be.
Dr. Knight’s funeral took place in New
Haven, on Monday afternoon. A short ser-
vice was held at the house, when the re-
mains were home to the Centre Church
where Rev. Dr. Bacon delivered an address,
which was followed by prayer by President
WOolsey onAle College. The pall-bearere
were the Hon. Ralph I. Ingersoll, Prof. Sil-
liman, Jr. Prof. Noah Coe, Mr. Nathaniel
Smith, Of Woodhury, and Doctors Pliny A.

pose says the Standard, that most of our
readers would be somewhat incredulous,
were any one to tell them that the city of
Bridgeport now possesses a clot hing camb-
lishment equal to Brooks’ or Devlin’s in New
York; yet considering the relative size of
the two cities, the new establishment of
Beach, Sammie and Co., corner of Main and
Wall streets, is not excelled by either of those
metropolitan houses. We were agreeably
surprised, on visiting their rooms yesterday,
to find how pleasantly and commodiously
they are situated. The main sales’ room,
which is 60 by32, is nearly twenty feet in
height in the center, and is lit by fifteen
large windows reaching to the I floor, giving
an abundance Of light in all parts. The walls
and ceiling are finished in_ panels, partly
paint and partly paper, and the work is so
neatly executed as to appear like the finest
fresco It was done we understand by Mr.
Peter Mackinnon,&is alike creditable to him
and to the city. The tables for the display
of goods are twelve in number, and are of
cherry with drawer fronts of white ash. With
the exception of these, the entire refitting of
the rooms has been at the expense of Mr.
Geo. S. Sanford, the proprietor. A well fur-
nished dressing room and a room for shirt
manufacturing are conveniently connected
with the main hall. We understand that it
is the intention of Messrs. B. S. &. Co.,y‘to
keep on hand everything connected with the
ready made clothing trade that can be found
in any of the New York establi hmeuts,while
they will continue to do a custom business
asusuai, under the superintendance of Mr.
J. A. Robie, late of Boston. They have also
made arrangements for jobbing by‘ which
they will be enabled to furnish country deal-
ers with goods as cheap if not cheaper than
the New York houses. This is principally on
account of the difference in .rent. If retail
dealers on their way to New York should
give them a call, we are confident they
would be satisfied without going any further
We are glad to see such an establishment
started here. It is not only aconve clause to
citizens, but tends to bring trade to our city
