Tne County Fair.

We copy on our outside from the Bridge-
port Standard, an account of the rise and
progress of the Fairfield County Agricultu-
ral Society. At the present time it is some
interest, as it will be remembered that the
society have voted to sell their tent and to
make a permanent location of the Fair. At
the last Annual Meeting held in this place,
propositions were made from Danbury,
Bridgeport and Norwalk for the Society to
locate in their respective towns, and the sub-
ject was finally postponed to the first Mon-
day in February. The feeling of those pres-
ent seemed to be decidedly in favor of Nor-
walk, still our people should not relax their
sfiorts to secure it. The Bridgeport people
are stirring in the matter and unless our
folks wake up and work, will] steal a march
.on them and perhaps secure it. The offer
from the Norwalk Club was good so far as
it went, but it does not, we think, go far
enough. Norwalk could and should do bet-
ter. Its merchants, nurserymeu, liverymen,
farmers, and all {others interested ought to
subscribe a handsome sum towards erecting
the necessary buildings for the society,
which they can well afford to do, to secure
its permanent location here, and from the
spirit manifested at the annual meeting we
have not the least doubt but that the full
amount necessary could easily be raised.—
Will not some of our enterprising citizens
who feel interested in the society draw up a
paper and go to work at it ? Who will move

in this matter l—noto is the time to do it 1—
Norwalk 'can,,by proper exertion, secure the
location hei'e'i Will our citizens stand idle
and see some one of our enterprising neigh-
bors snatch it from our grasp ? We trust
not. i , f - '

’_ :The Lecture. -

Prof. W. C. Richards, whose late course of
scientific lectures in this place, gave so much
satisfaction and pleasure, has been induced
to visit Norwalk again, and will deliver his
lecture on the great English Humorist and
Poet, Thomas Hood, at Norwalk Hall, on
Wednesday evening of this week. He has
chosen a most excellent subject for a popu-
lar lecture, and from his well known ability
as a lecturer, we may look forward with con-
fidence to a lecture replete with humor, elo—
quence and instruction. Mr. R. is so well
known here that he needs no commendation
from us, and we only express a hope that
our people will rouse themselves from their
lethargy, and greet him with a large attend—
shoe. .

[1‘ We are indebted to Rev. B. K. Diossy,
for late New Orleans papers. By the follow-
ing extracts from a late report of his, it will
be seen that Mr. Diossy, continues his labors
in the good cause:

"I have given out 60 packages of reading
tbeiug 7533 publications—of which number
there were 205 Hymns, 186 Testaments, and
8 Bibles. My labors in the Prison, the Hos-
pital, the Home, and camps, are full of en-
couragement. They are well received al-
ways ;' and in the course of a month, because
of the shifting of troops, and changing of the
men in prison and hospitals, many thou-
sands are addressed-often for the first or
last time—and supplied wlth something good
to read. There is every reason to believe
that God’s rich blessing attends this work.”

Another Star has been added to the list of

long years of wandering and groping in the
dark, Mrssoum on Wednesday the 11th inst.
flashed over the electric wires, fro her sisters-
of the free North, the intelligence that she
was emancipated from the dark- thrails of
slavery, had burst her chains and”: was FREE!
All hail, the new—born sister, may her course
always be onward and upward. Thus out
of the fire one State after another comes
forth purified, and clothed in robes of light.
To day, (Monday) intelligence comes that
TENNESSEE has movedin the matter of rend-
ing her shackles and becoming free. Her
State Convention having passed strong reso-
lutions to that effect, but which are to be left
to the people to accept or reject; at an election
to be held on the 22d of February. Parson

A WAGm—We hear that two “ high
birds,” both saddlers, not a hundred miles
from—say Stamford,—last week entered in-
to a wager to walk from Norwalk Bridge to
the Gregory’s Point House, the one arriving
first to be declared the best fellow, or some-
thing of that sort, and receive the sum of five
dollars as a testimonial. The wager was
won by the one whose name is spelt with a
single “n.” Subsequently the two enter—

;p 1g. W'I‘hc Hartford \Press ask's the question I

“Who is Gen. Clark ?” He is a son of Levi
Clark, Esq., of this place, and was born and
brought up in Norwalk. At one time he
was a teacher—and a good one, too—in one
of our District Schools. Some few years be-
fore the brcaking out of the rebellion, he
married a Hartford lady, removed west, and,
We believe, commenced the practice of law.
His subsequent career is told as follows, by
Prentice, of the Louisville, (Ky) Journal .-

Lieut. Col. William T. Clark, chief of
.Stafl‘ and Assistant Adjutant General of the
Department and Army of the Tennessee, has
recently been promoted by the President to
bee Brigadier General of Volunteers, and
his many friends belonging to the old Army of
theTennessee,particularly the 17th corps,wili
rejoice to hear it. Gen. Clark. at the break-
ing out of the war, was engaged in the
practice of law at Davenport, Iowa, and

earned for himself, by strict attention to bus-
iness, a very enviable reputation. In Sept.,
1861, he received permission from the Gov.

of Iowa to raise a company of infantry for
the three years’ service, which he soon effec-

ted, and was duly elected its Captain. Af-

ter the organization of ythe regiment (13th

Iowa), of which Col.‘ now eu.) M. .

Cracker was the com nder, Capt. Clark
gave up his position a Captain. accepted

.at the urgent request 0 the ofiicers, the

Adjutancy, which place be filled with more
than ordinary ability. On the arrival 'lpf‘

to duty onthe staff of Bri Gen.-McKe '

While salt in rebeldom fares hard.a
hand of Federal raiders, salt elsewhe
treated ‘ with high consideration, . .
readers will be interested in the folio rig;
facts: In the south side of St. Domingo“
in the province of Azna, is the most si' -
gular salt deposit tobe found ‘i ,
world. From an intelli
recently there, and a doc
a. New York company,
there is here a mounta'
miles long, from on
and from four to five
In some places, where t
mountain are nearly perpendicular. large
cliffs of salt are exposed to view, while in
other parts a coating of earth, from ten
to thirty feet covers the salt.

This salt in its crude state contains
96.75 per cent. pure salt, while the purest
found elsewhere is but 96.75. Grants
to Americans have been obtained of the
Spanish government, and the way is
being opened for bringing this immense
treasure of salt to the markets of the
world. A railroad, some twenty miles in
length, is to be coastructed, which will
bring the salt to the little seaport of
Barahona.

WWe find the above in the New Haven
Courier. The company spoken of, is the one
with which Davis Hatch, Esq.,of South Nor-
walk, is so prominently connected. We
have before given descriptions of the moun-
tain, with the surrounding scenery, incidents
of travel to and from, &c., from the pen of
Mr.Hatch,who has also shown us iarge,clear
and beautiful specimens of the salt. If the
company is a success, it will be owing more
to Mr. Hatch’s energy and business qualities
than to anything else.

CONNECTICUT DEsEnTIONs.-Few people
have any idea in regard to the extent of de-
sertions in our army. The Catalogue of the
Connecticut Volunteer Force, just issued by
Adjt.-Gen. Morse, shows that of the whole
number of drafted men and substitutes put
into the army from this state, previous to
July lst, 1864, two thousand one hundred and
eighty-three, had up to that time deserted the
the service! Ani this in the little state of
Connecticut! From four regiments alone
there are reported one thousand three hundred
and arty-three desertions.——namely, from the
1st ‘avalry, 368; from the 5th Infantry, 393:
from the 11th Infantry, 237; from the 14th
Infantry, 245. Assuming that the desertions
from other states are in like proportion,
is it at all surprising that the President is
compelled to make a new levy for troops
every six months! 'I

Aanns'r or SENATOR Fawn—Henry S.
Foote the rebel Senator, was arrested on
Thursday while attempting to escape from
Richmond to our lines in company with his
wife. He was overtaken by two cavalrymen
at Occoquan,flfleen miles from Alexandria.
When caught he was waiting in the house
of one Hammel for conveyance across the

harness up his horse and wagon and convey
the captive as far back toward Richmond as
Dumfries. The military authorities sent
out from Alexandria an escort for Mrs. Foote,
and she is in Washington. Our cavalry at

Foote’s captors and rescue him if possible.

AN ENocn ARDEN~ Ihl REAL LIFE.—
Brnssell reports a genuine Enoch Arden
romance : AbouI 20 years‘ago a black-
smith was condemned to an imprisonment
of seven months for an assault in which

 

 

 

 

he had been found guilty; and on the

expiration of his term of punishment, be-
ing unwilling to return to his former
employment, he enlisted in the Dutch
army, and shortly afterwards proceeded
to the colonies of Holland, in the East
Indies, leaving a 'wife and a young (laugh-
ter behind him. Five years after, a com-
rade who had served in the same compao
uy arrived here and told the wife that
her husband had been killed with a poi-
soned arrow by one of the natives. The
comrade and the wife, having soon come
to an understanding, were married, and
had lived happily toget.her"for many years;
Their happiness was, however, interrupt-
ed a few days ago, when an individual
with white locks made his appearance in
the family circle, which included seven
children. This was the blacksmith who
had been supposed to be long dead, who,
seeing how matters stood with his wife
and friend,made the best he could of the
change ; and, after having deposited
3,000 florins for the use of the ‘daughter
he had left behind—who is now 22 years
of age, took his departure forLondon, and
will bury his grief in that Babylon of life.

CORNELIUS O’Down, in the last Black‘-‘

against popularizing science, especially as
it affects Mrs. O‘Dowd. He comes home
and finds that estimable lady in tears be-
cause she has learned at the scientific
Congress that the coal fields cannot last
over twelve thousand years, and that
the earth’s crest is a seventeenth of an
inch thiner than it was at the time cf
Moses. And then he asks, ‘ What right
has Sir David Brewster or Professor
Faraday so fill my wife’s head with spec-
ulations about the first man? I am, or
at least I ought to be the first man to
her.’ But even this is not so bad as the
dismal information thrust upon him re-
garding the constituents of which both
are composed. ‘ I do not desire to have
it impressed on me so forcibly. that I am
only a compound of neutral salts, gela-
tine, fibrine and adipose matter. It is
no pleasure to me to regard Mrs. O'--

Sabbath School Anniversary.
! The Methodist Protestant Sabbath SchOol

l

, of Georgetown, Conn., held their Anniversa- j

ry on Wednesday the 4th instant, and in jus-
tice to the officers and scholars of that school,
I must admit that it was the most tastefully
arranged and skillfully executed of anything
of the kind which has fallen under mylnotice.
The house, which was beautifully adorned
with evergreens and flowers, was filled to its
utmost capacity, The organist, both in sing-
ing and playing, gave positive evidence that

part. And the entire school, both in the se-
lections made of pieces and the manner of
execution, showed that taste,'study and care
had been bestowed. At the close, the schol-
ars were presented with the pictures of Rob-
ert Rakes, who, 84 years ago, formed the first
Sabbath School, in Gloucester, England.—
At. 10 o’clock the congregation dispersed,
well satisfied that in no place can an assem-
bly be better or more profitably entertained
than in an exhibition of a well trained and
intellectual Sabbath School. OBSERVER.

down. “Gentlemen” said he, “I am a met.

peace; the South owes me at least a million

the debt thall be paid to me ; but should it.

For the ddzdllo.
“ ‘ Corrections” Corrected.

C. S. is of a retiring disposition.

In his~2d communication he apologizes for
“ again intruding"-—-protests that he has “no
taste for controversy" and says, "I yield the
field ;” and retires.

In his 3d communication he apologizes
and protests that he is not “ a willing wit-
ness ;" and retires.

In his 4th communication he says “I cheer
fully retire from the contest.”

In his 5th” communication he complains

that his “retirement was presumed upon,"
(which certainly,z_‘f true, was a very pre-
sumptuous presumption) and again returns
to a “ controversy of which the public must
be tired,” and then, “having no disposition to
pursue the subject,” he retires again.

Surely, whatever may be the “fault” of
others, he must not be accused of any “destre
to appear before the public I"

Why then does he summon me back to
the field?

1. He confesses another “mistake in loca—
ting the Assembly, 0. S., at Rochester, N. Y.,
in 1862 instead of 1860,” and then “refers me
to the secular and religious, papers of that
date for what transpired at that time.”—
Which date? what time? what place? Here
is confusion confounded. _' The ’Assembly
met at Rochester in 1860. " What may have
transpired at some nameless place in 1862, I

‘ have no time to look up the secular and re—

ligious papers to ascertain.

2. “ To prove” that he didgnol misrepresent
the spirit and motive of the, Assembly of 1837.
still declining to go to the minutes of the As-
sembly, he declares his belief that the leaders
“were pro-slavery men and preached in de—
fence of the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850;”
and on this belief he continues to reject all
their own solemn declarations of their rea—
sons for their Acts, and also the protests of
his own party friends against those Acts.

“Slavery,” says John Wesley, “ is the sum
of all villainiesz” and so C. S. argues that
the word eminent divines in the land are
guilty of “ the most arbitrary and tyrannical
measure,” and that too under “miserable sub.
terfuges” in 1837, because, he believes, they
were “pro-slavery men" and “ preached in
defence of the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850 l"

The same proof might convict Dr. Alexan-
der and the others of all the “ villainies” he
might choose to allege against them.

3. C. S. asserts that‘I fi‘disclaimed for the
South any feeling of intolerance toward Con-
gregationalism.”

I made no such disclaimer. He charged
such “intolerance utterly unworthy of the
humility of the gospel” against an individu-
al, a member of the Assembly of 1837. To
refute that charge,.1 produced a solemn tes-
timony of that Assembly, expressing senti-
ments perfectly friendly to Congregational-
ism, aud then quoted the speech of that
member pleading for “ a continuance of
friendly and brotherly intercourse. I did
not mention “the South.” _

What has a subsequent Act of an Assem-
bly, that met many years after, to do with
the case in band? What has the more re-
cent act of“ Dr. Spring,” or of“ the South,”
or of Northern Doughfaces” in the Assem—
bly of 1861 to do With the Act of 1837?

4. C. S. has “ a copy of a letter written by
Dr. P. (whether a private or public letter he
does not say) which “ confirms all he has
said of him ;” “ but as the Rev. Gentleman
has left us” a"? he has succeeded in driving
him away om an admiring community,
who were greatly moved and profited by his
eloquent, scriptural, and spiritual preaching)
he has “no disposition to pursue him i"

Admirable forbearance and magnauimity l
The public will appreciate it.

5. C. S. again attempts to clear himself of
the odium of a public persecution or that
gentleman, thus: because a friend published
a Card respecting him,without his consent or
knowledge, therefore it was “legitimate” to
attack, not only the Card, but the man, as “in-
tolerant,and tyrannical,” and as acting under
a “ miserable subterfuge,”—aud to ‘f pursue
him” from, week to week until driven away!

Besides; a “ gentleman’s desire to appear
before the public,” laid a necessity upon C. S.
to be guilty of the same “ fault.” He was
not a “ willing witness.” He was compelled
to volunteer. He verily thought he ought to
assail Dr. P.‘ and Dr. Spring, and Dr. Alex-
ander, and er eminent divines. What is
the nature 0 this painfulnecessity?

Let me attempt to solve it.

1. It is the law of the championship. He
“must meet all comers.” _ I

2. It is the corwulsion of a spirit, which.
from the beginning of its development, has
attacked all not possessed with it as “ pro.
slavery” and as disloyal; and which, in its
sevenfold power of possession, has assailed the
American church and clergy as the bulwark
of Slavery, and has denouncedthe American
Constitution and Union as a “Covenant with
Death and an Agreement with Hell.”

I will not invade the courtesies and propri-
eties, that lie beyond the limits of a newspa—
per discussion, to inquire-whether C. S. has,
or has not, “a desire to appear in public” or
other faults that “ cause remark and regret
among his friends,” or whether'he has ever
done anything“unwisc.” .-.Sucb personalities
would only incur the contempt .of the pub-
lic, hOWever friendly the motive that prompt-
ed them. . - S. B. S. B.

He sufl'ered from no disease,but died from
the infirmities attending old age. For
several weeks he was considered in a dy
ing condition, but being of a naturally
strong and vigorous constitution. he lin-
gered until Friday. Bishop Brownell
was born at Little Crompton, R. I. in
1779. He graduated at Union College

a time afterward Professor of Chemistry

made a priest. In 1819 he was conse—
crated Bishop and was supposed to be
the oldest Protestant BishOp in the world.
He has been the presiding BishOp of the
United States for the last ten years. He
was Bishop of the Connecticut Diocese

the time of the establishment of the Col-
lege, in 1823, to the year 1831, he was
its president and to the time of his death

S. ilk—1860.4.

Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak
ness, lassitude, palpitatiou of the heart, lack of ap-
petite. distress after eating, torpid liver, constipa-
tion, &c. deserve to suffer if they will not try the
celebrated

PLANTATION BITTBRB.

which are now reccommended by the highest medi-
cal authorities, and warranted to produce an imme-
diate benificiai efi'ect. They are exceedingly agree-
able, perfectly pure, and supersede all other tonics
where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required.

They purify, strengthen and invigorate.

They create a healthy appetite.

They are an antidote to change of water and diet.

They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours

- They strengthen .the system and enliven the mind.

They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers.

They purify the breath and acidity ofthe stomach,

They cure Dyspepsia anfi Constipation.

They cure Diarrhcea, and Cholera Morbus.

They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache

They make the weak strong, the languid brilliant,
and are exhausted nature’s great restorer. They
are composed of the celebrated Calisays bark, win-
tergreen, asssafras, roots and herbo, all preserved in
pure St. Croix mm. For particulars, see circulafi
and testimonials around each bottle.

Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle.
See that it has our private U. S. Stamp unmutiiated
over the cork, with plantation scene, and our sig-
nature on a fine steel plate side label. See that our
bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterous
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-
ters by the gallon or in Bulk, is an imposter. Any
person imitating this bottle, or selling any other
material therein, whether called Plantation Bitters
or not, is a criminal under the U. 8. Law, and will
be prosecuted by us. We already have our eye on
several parties refilling our bottles, the. who wil
succeed in getting themselves into close quarters.‘
The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from 15-
dies, clergyman, merchants. &c. is incredible. The
simple trial of a bottle is the evidence we present of
their worth and superiority. They are sold by all
espectable druggists, grocers, physicians, hotels,
saloons, steamboats and country stores.
