The County Fair.
We publish elsewhere an appeal from the
Ofiicers of the Society, to the people ofthe
County to come forward and assist in ma-
king the comiug exhibition as attractive and
useful as possible. If our homers and me-

their contributions, as in the good old times,
a better show, perhaps, can be made than
ever before. Stamford has always carried
off thelsrgcst share of prizes for beautiful

than ever before. The Fair is to be held on
the Amphitheatre Grounds, and a track is
now being graded, and the grounds put in
complete order. We are happy to hear,

has consented to deliver the Annual Address.

“It is understood to-day that after mature
reflection, Provost Marshal General. Fry has
concluded to reverse a former decision in re-
lation to the $300 commutation paid by par-
ties who were drafted during the last con-
scription. The decision shortly to be
promulgated will exempt all those who paid
the commutation of three hundred dollars
for three years. This is an important decr-
sion, alike just in its character and influential
in its tendencies." ,
W It is a question which those interested
may like to have settled, how a Provost
Marshal is going to set aside a positive eu-
actment of Congress. Guess those who've
paid their $300 needn’t lay awake 0’ nights
in fear of a draft. , . ‘

‘ We have heard of a transaction that, in its
line, it would be rather hard to beat. One.
morning a while since, one of our, citizens
found on going to his Barn that some sco'un-
drel had stolen his horse‘and carriage and
appurtenances. He offered a liberal reward
for the arrest and conviction of the thief and
another for the return of the property. A
wide awake man well known about town
; was soon on track of the thief and before
lnight overhauled him. He placed him in
an upper room and stood guard over him
through the night, diseoursing all the long
hours most eloquently on the enormity. of
the offence, the certainty of punishment.
for years among the rigors of States Prison,
and at the same time painting in glowing

sentations on the susceptible mind of his
charge, that the latter next morning voluna
teered as a soldier, and donated his boun-
ties to his captor,who,thereupon ordering up
the stolen horse and carriage, drove to the
house of their owner and received the reward
offered for return of the stolen property! ,,. '

BEWARE or LIEs.—The ruling passion of
the copperheads to pervert the truth will be
strongly exemplified during the present cam-
paign, and they have already commenced.—
One favorite plan of theirs is to. circulate
stories about prominent Union men who are
“going to vote for McClellan.” The best(?)
men of their party will circulate'these sto-
ries, knowing them- to be false. When a
man degrades himself to the level of a
traitor, and becomes a copperhe‘ad and sup-
porter of their cowardly platform, he won't
hesitate at repeating doubtful stories. But
that dodge won’t work. . _ .

T0 FARMERS, MECHANICS,
and all interested in our Coun-
ty Agricultural Society.
The time for holding the annual exhibition
of the County Agricultural Society is fast
approaching. Less than two weeks remain
before the opening of the Fair. The officers
are doing all in their power to make this ex.
hibition one of unusual interest, but the ex-
ertions of the officers alone are not sufficient.
To make the exhibition interesting, and one
worthy of the County, requires the assist-
ance of every person interested in the Socie-
ty. You have it in your power to add more
or less tothe interest of this Fair, by bring-
ing thereto such articles as you may raise or
manufacture. The Society is yours. and if
you would have these annual exhibitions
sustained and made worthy of your occupao
tion and industry, you must give them your
aid and support. The time required is but
little, and it gives you an excellent opportu-
nity to meet your friends'socially, and inter-
change views, compare notes, &c.
It is hoped that every person‘seeing this
appeal, will take it upon himself or herself,
and also stimulate and encourage others, to
bring out something for the Fair. Every
artide‘ exhibited goes to swell the gross
amount, and make the display more attract-
ive and beneficial. .Do not hesitate, think.
ing some other person may out do you.
Yours may be the best. Look at the re-
sources of your place, and send any such
products, articles or stock as may seem to
you best. ‘ Fancy articles from the ladies,
and flowers, add much to the attractions
within the tent. _We trust the ladies will see
to it, that the tables in their department are
well sustained. . ; 1
It is much desired that the Farmers in
Norwalk and the adjoiniug‘towns should at
once make the _ necessary arrangements for
bringing in their trains of oxen, as well as
other stock. Do not put it. off until it is too
late. .
Leave no means untried to make this ex-
hibition one of which not only Norwalk but
the whole County may well feel proud. The
premiums offered are larger than are offered
by any other County Society in the State.

now the Pond was Drained.
We hear of a pretty good thing connected
with the efforts'of one of our farmers to drain
a pond and adds fertile meadow to his al-
ready large and. productive farm.The Pond in
question covered some, half a dozen acres
and was situated in an amphitheater one of
whose sides was very near a creek in which
the tide rose and fell about four feet. The
eye of our farmer had years ago assured him
that the bed of the pond was enough higher
than the bed of the creek to make it easy to
drain the former into the latter by digging a
canal through the intervening hill. But it
was equally evident that when the tide came
in the Salt water would flow through the
canal Ana about. nan-rem! the pond. Such
irrigation would not much promote the»
growth of fresh grass, and of salt water
meadows he had already a plenty. SO noth-
ing was done about it, and the turtles and
frogs retained undisturbed possession of the
pond. - >
A short time since, however, the son of
the farmer determined to dig the canal and
place in it a water tight gate suspended by
hinges from the top and ‘20 arranged that
water should flow outwards unimpeded
while the rising tide shouldbe made to close
the gate upon itself and ,be prevented from
reaching the bed of the pond. ,.With our
Young America to think was to act,-though
sometimes, as the sequel will show, he would
let an act‘ precede thinking. In a few days
the canal was made {and the' gate hung.
Anticipating a strong current through the
gate be lined his canal with masonry and
below the gate arched it for a, distance of a
dozen feet leaving a Covered race-way about
four feet wide by three in height. A]! being
in readiness he invited a dozen friends to see
him let the water into the canal and draw
off the pond. He had- rolled a large stone
against the bottom of the outside of the gate
to hold it in place as the tide shouldfall.
The spectators had about an hour to .wait
before the tide would be low. enoughto-
make a great rush of the pond water when
the gate was opened, and this expected rush.
was a leading feature in the entertainment.
At length all things were ready and our
friend entered the covered canal on. all tours
to remove the stone which was braced
against the gate. Supposing with so much
pressure against it, a vigorous'effort would
be needed to move the stone,‘he. grappled it
with all his stalwart force made a huge effort,
and in less than a minute after he disap-
peared from view on entering the canal a.
madly rushing torrent of muddy water fill-
ing all the enclosed space brought out his hat
and asecond afterwards a pair of hands and
feet were putting out to sea, accompanied
with glimpses of an intervening body and in
the wink of an eye thereafter the bold re-
claimer of land was washed on the sedge a
couple of rods below the mouth of the canal.
Rising dripping and dirty,he wiped the mud
from his eyes and mouth, looked at the boil-
ing current and laughing bystanders, .and
slowly said “ That is a little rough,——but it
will drain the pond" and without another
word stalked homeward leaving a mud-trail
in his wake. It did drain the pond and there
is now a verdant carpet of luxuriant grass
on its bed.

WEITTEN BEFORE THE CHICAGO CONVENTION
The following important extract of a.
letter from LIOUI.'G€D. GRANT is dated :
HEADQUARTERS or THE‘ARMXES on Tue UNITED }
‘ -: SIATEs. CITY POINT, Va., Aug. 16,1804.
Hon. E. B. Washburne .'
DEAR Sm : I state to all citizens who
visit me that all we want now to insure.
an early restoration of the Union is a
determined unit y of sentiment North.
The rebels have now in their ranks
their last man. The little boys and old
men are guarding prisoners, guarding
railroad bridges, and forming a good
part of their garrisons or iutrenched po-
sitions. A man lost by them cannot be
replaced. They have robbed the era-
dle and the grave equally to get their
present force. Beside what they lose in
frequent skirmishes and battles, they are
now losing from desertious and other can-
ses at least one regiment per day. With
this drain upon them, themd is not far
distant, of we will only be true to ourselves
Their only hope now is a divided North.
This might give them reinforcements from
Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland and Mis-
souri, while it would weaken us. With
the draft quietly enforced, the enemy
would become despondent, and would
make but little resistance. ,
I have no doubt but the enemy are ex-
ceedingly anxious to holdoutvuntil after
the Presidential electiOn. They have
many hopes from its efl'ects. They hope
a counter-revolution. They hope the
election of the peace candidate. In fact,
like Micawber, they hope for some thing
to “turn up.” Our peace friends, if they
expect peace from separation, are much
mistaken. It would be but the begin-
ning of war, with thousandsfof Northern
men joining the South because of our dis-
grace in allowing separation. To have
“peace on any terms,” the South would
demand the restoration of their slaves
freed , they would demand indemnity for
losses sustained ; and they would demand
a treaty which would make the North
slave hunters for the South ; they would
demand pay for the restoration of every
slave escaped to the North.
Yours truly, U. S. GRANT.

from the siege, and using some considera-
ble artifice to mislead the enemy.
“ I moved rapidly south, reached the
West Point Railroad near Fairborue on
the 27th, and broke up twelve miles of it.
When moving cast my right approached
the Macon Railroad near Jonesboro. and
my left near Rough and Ready. The
enemy attacked the right wing of the
Army of the Tennessee, and were com-
pletely beaten. ' .
, On the 3lst, and during the combat I
ushedthe left of the center rapidly to
" he railroad above, between Rough and
Ready and Jonesboro. .
On the first of September we broke up
about eight miles of the Macon road, and
turned on the enemy at Jonesboro. as-
saulted .him and his lines, and carried
them, capturing Brig-Gen. Gormau and
about two thousand prisoners, with eight
guns and much plunder. Night alone
preventedour capturing all of Hardee’s
corps, which escaped south that night.
“ That same night, Hood, in , Atlanta,
finding all his railroads broken and in our
'possession, blew up his ammunition, seven
locomotives and eighty cars, and evacua-
ted Atlanta, whicb, on the next day,
Sept. 2d,- Was occupied by the corps left
commanding. - .~
We followed the retreating Rebel ar-
my to near Lovejoy’s station, thirty miles
south of Atlanta,where,fiuding him strong
ly entrenched. I concluded it would not
“ pay" toassault, as we already had the
great objectsof the campaign, viz.,Atlan-
ta. Accordingly the army gradually and
leisurely returned to Atlanta, and it is
now encamped some eight miles South of
the city, and tomorrow will move to the
camps appointed. I am now writing in
Atlanta, so I could not be uneasy in re-
gard to our situation. ,
Wehave, as the result of this quick,
and, as I think, ,well executed move-
ment, 2'1 guns, over 3,000 prisoners, and
have buried ovey 400 rebel dead, and left
as many wounded ; they could not be
removed. . '
The Rebels have lost besides the im-
portant city of Atlanta, and stores. at
least 500 dead, 2,500 wounded, and 3,000
risouers, whereas our aggregate loss will
not foot 1,500. ; ‘- "
If that is not success, I don't know
what is.

ACCEpTrNcTnE NOIIINATION.
ORANGE, N. ~J,, Sept. '8. 1864.
GENTLEMEN z—I havethe honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter,
informing me‘of my nomination by the
Democratic National Convention, recent
ly held at Chicago, as their candidate at
the next election for President of the Uni-
ted States
It is unnecessary for me to say to you
that this nomination comes to me un-
sought.
' I am‘bappy to know that wheuthe
nomination was made, the record of my
public life was kept in view.
The efi'ect of long and varied service
in the Army, during war and peace, has
been to‘ strengthen and make indelible in
my mind and heart, the love and rever-
ence for the Union, Constitution, Laws,
and Flag of our country, impressed upon
"me in early youth,
These feelings have thus for guided
the course of my life, and must continue
to do so .to its end. ~
The existence of Incl-e than one Gov-
ernment over 'ihe region which once
owued our flag is 'iucompatable with the
peace, the power, and happiness of the
per) lo. -
" be preservation of our Union was the
sole av0wed object for which the’ _ war
was commenced; . it should have been
conducted for that object only and in ac
Cordauce with. those principles which I
took occasiou‘to declare when in active
service. ' '
Thus conducted, the work of reconcili—
ation would have been easy, and we
might have reaped the benefits of our
many victories poised and sea. ,
rm... TTn‘inn‘Wnahrifiinallv‘ bumps I...
4|.i‘,.
for that ' purpose, Maj-Gout Slocum .
all its integrity, is, and must continue to
be, the indispensable condition in any set-
tlement So soon as it is clear and oven
probable, that. our present adversaries
are ready for peace, upon the basis of the
Union, we should exhaust all the resour—
cos ofstatcmausbip practised by civilized
nations, and taught to the traditions of
the American people consistent with the
honor and interests of the country, to se-
cure sucb peace, reestablish the Union,
and guarantee for the future the consti—
tutioual rights of every State. The Un-
ion is the one condition of peace—we ask
no more. ,
- Let me add what Idoubt not was, al—
though unexpressed, the sentiment of the
Convention,_us it is of the maple they
represent, that when any one State is
willing .to return to the Union, it should
be received at once, with a full guaran-
tee of all its constitutional rights.
If a frank, earness and persistent ef-
fort to obtain those objects .should fail,
the responsibility for superior consequen-
ces will fell upon those who remain in
arms agaipst the UuiOn. But the Union
must be preserved at all hazards.
I could not look in the face of my gal-
laut comrades in the army and; navy,
who have survived so many bloody bat-
tles, and tell them that'their labors and
the sacrifice of so many of our slain and
wOuuded brethren had been in vain ;
that we had abandoned -- that Union for
which we have so often perilled our lives.
A vast 'majority of our people, whether
in the army and navy or at home, would,
as I would, hail with unbounded .joy the
permanent restoration. of peace, on the
basis of the union under the constitution
'without the effusion of another drop of
blood. But no peace can be permanent
without union. ' ' ,
As tothe other subjééts presented in
the resolutions ofthe Convention, I need
only say that I should seek, in the Con-
stitution of the United States, and the
laws framed in accordance therewith. the
rule of my duty, and the limitations of
Executive power ; endeavor to restore
economy in public expenditure, reestab-
lish the supremacy of law, and by the op-
eration of a mere rigorous nationality,
resume our commanding position among
the nations of the earth. .
The condition of our finances, the de-
preciation of the paper money, and the
burdens thereby imposed on labor and
capital, upon the necessity of a return to
a sound financial system; while the rights
of citizens and the rights of States, and
the binding authority of law over Presi-
dent, Army and People, are subjects of
not less rival importance in war than in
peace.
Believing that the views here expressed
are those of the Convention and the peo-
ple you represent, I accept the nomina-
tion. I realize the weight of the respon-
sibility to be borne, should the people
ratify your choice.
Conscious of my own weakness, I can
only seek fervently the guidance of the
Ruler of the Universe, and, relying on
His all-powerful aid, do my best to re-
store union and peace to as suffering peo-
ple, and to establish and g uard their lib-
erties and rights.
I am, Gentleman, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
GEO B. MCCLELLAN.

Thispiratical craft, recently captured
of the coast of Portugal by the U. S.
frigate Niagara, is an iron screw-steamer,
and was built on the Clyde ostensibly for
the Emperor of Japan. In April, 1863,
she sailed for France, where she took on
board a battery of twelve guns, including
two 68 pounder Whitworth’s. Having
changed her name to the Virginia, and
secured a supply of ammunition, she put
to sea and entered upon a career of wan-

from this state because of such service, have
the same right to vote in any election of
State ofllcers, representatives in Congress,

“ The General Assembly shall prescribe
by law, in what manner and at what time,

in the military service of the United States
shall be received, counted, returned and
canvassed ;” which proposed amendment
was continued to the next General Assembly,
and published with the laws which had been
passed at the same session; and whereas, two
thirds of each House, at the next session of
said Assembl , holden at New Haven on the
,first Wednes ay in May, 1864, did by yeas

and thereupon said Assembly did, by “An
Act relating to the Proposed Amendment
to the Constitution of this State," provide
for the presentment of the same to the elect-
ors of their respective towns, on the third
Monday in August, 1864, for their approba-
tion or disapprobation, and did also therein
prescribe the manner in which it should be
made to appear whether a majority of elect-
ors present at the town meetings legal]
warned attd held for that purpose, in their

proved o the same, and whereas, in pursu-
ance of said act, the Treasurer, Secrets of

Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle.
See that it has our private U. 8. Stamp mutilated

bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterous
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-

succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from la-
