CONGRESS, FOURTH 1113112101; JOHN H. HUBBARD of Litchfield. ' 18", The peace bubble has dissolved into thin air. The conference between the Presi- dent and therrebel Commissioners resulted in no good, the rebels demanding the same terms as at the commencement of the war.— President Lincoln was firm, and true to the policy announced in his last message, and those who trembled for fear that he would yield too much, are satisfied their fears were groundless. His instructions . to Secretary Seward were as follows : “ The restoration of the national authority throughout all the states; no receding by the executive of the United States on the slavery question from the position assumed therepn in the late an- nual message to Congress and in the prece— ding documents; no cessation of hostilities short of an end of the war and the disband- ing of all the forces hostile to the govern- ment You will inform them that all propo. sitious of theirs not. inconsistent with the above will be considered and passed upon in a Spirit of sincere liberality. You will hear all they choose to say and report it to me. You will not assume to definitely consum- mate anything.” On the day the above was written a telegram was sent to Gen.Grant as follows: “ Let nothing which is transpiring change, hinder or'delay your military move- ments or. plans.” The rebel commis<ioners returned to Richmond and thence through theconfaderacy stirring up the people to “ fight it out,’.’-—.nnd that is all that is left for m to do. We must fill up our armies, cheer and encourage our soldiers and sailors, and go to work in earnest to conquer a lasting peace. .bo fl‘On Wednesday last, the Electoral vote was formally counted by the Vice Presi- dent in presence of both houses of Congress, and Abraham Lincoln was declared elected President and Andrew Johnson Vice Presi- dent, for fouryears from the 4th of March next. The announcement was followed by applause in the galleries and on the floor. at... [I'A new movement was made in the Potomac Army last week, commencing on Sunday morning. Quits severe skirmishing occurred on Sunday and Monday, but no geperal engagement. The loss on each side was about 500. Gen. Meade extended his lines about five miles, to the south and west of Petersburg, and gained a better and safer position for his left Wing, gained a road much used by the rebels, and got into close proximity to the South Side Railroad. This movement also prevents Lee from sending a force to oppose Sherman, and will keep Lee upon the lookout for another advance. c<.>. The Bank of Norwalk. The Directors of this institution have voted to convert the Bank into a National Banking Association, under the name of “The Nation- al Bank of Norwalk.” We presume there will-be no difficulty in gaining the consent Of the. holders of two thirds of the Capital Stock, which is necessary in order to com—- pletgthe change. Norwalk will then have three “National Banks.” —- c...» ‘ ~ The South Norwalk Bank. The Directors of this Bank have voted to increase the Capital Stock One Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Manama Vanlan’s GRAND Cowman—We again call the attention Of our readers to this splendid Concert, which is to take place next Saturday evening at Lockwood’s Hall.. The merits of each artist is well known in this community and we predict for them aciowd- ed and fashionable audience. It is so seldom that an entertainment’ of so high a character takes place in Norwalk every one ought to patronize them. The programme is the most attractive and brilliant of any these artists have heretofore given. Those who have not secured their seats would do well to call at Mr. Selleck’s and get them, as the' hall is sure to be crowded. l .‘Qp. WThe Hartford Daily 0011mm came out on Monday last in a. complete suit of new type,inanufactured for it in Boston,in which it looks exceedingly well.

Q Business Education. We would call the attention of our readers generally and of parents having sons to edu- cate for business especially to the advertise— ment in to day’s paper of Messrs. Bryant, Stratton do Corbins Business College, located in Bridgeport. This is a link in the great international Chain of Business Colleges, which have . attracted so much attention in all the principal cities of the country for the past few years. This is eminently a practi-_ cal age, and in order tb fight the battle of life successfully, a. young man must necessarily obtain a thorough business education. and for this purpose these Colleges have been formed, and there is probably no better, cheaper or quicker way for a young man to obtain a practical knowledge of business, than by attending one of these Colleges. The proprietors also use their in- fluence for obtaining good situations for grad- uates from their institutions. .-.>. THE NEw Sous—We have received from the publishers, Messrs. Root & Cady, Cltica? go, acopy of‘ a new song, entitled “ Wake Nicodemus,”—Which is creating quite a sen- sation. The wordsand Music are by Henry Clay Work, the author, we believe, of ‘King- dom Coming,‘ ‘ Babylon is Fallen,’ and other " Songs for the Times.’ Price 35 cents. W.- . B. Bradbury, 425 Bi'oome Street, N. Y., is agent. I Nicodemus. the Slave, was of African birth, And was bought for a b ml of gold ; Hewas reckoned as part 0 the salt of the earth, But he died years ago, very old. ’Twas his last and request—so we laid him away In the trunk of an old hollow tree : “ Wake me up I" was his charge, “ at the first break of day l Wake meup for the Great Jubilee.” ’ .‘gp. W Messrs. Fisk and Hatch, the well-' known Bankers and Government Loan ' Agents, at 38 Wall Street, New York; adverr tiseto receive orders for the popular 7-30 Loan. This is emphatically the “ People’s Loan,” and should attract the attention of Banks, Bankers and Capitalists, and Of ev— ery man or woman who has Fifty Dollars or more to invest throughout the country. The convenient form in which these notes are issued; the ease with which the interest may be calculated—being one cent ii. day on $50; the facility with which it may be col- lected—l he notes having senii-annualvcoupons attached, which may be ctit Off, when due and sold atli tile or no discount to any Bank or Banker; the convertibility of the notes at the Option of the holder,after August 15th 1867, into Gold-Bearing Woe-Twenty Bonds, all combine to render the 7-30 notes a most desirable investment. _ If investors are in doubt as to what form ofinvcstmcnt will ultimately bring the lar- gest return, a sufficient reason for taking the 7—30 Notes will be found in the fact. that Massns Flax dc Huron and the other Agents of the Government, as well as the various Banks and, Bankers throughout the country, are selling these notes for the Government, and that the money so invested is not only securely and profitably invested, but goes im. mediately into the NutiOnaI Treasury, to assist the Government in promptly paying our brave boys in the field, and putting the finishing blows into the hateful rebellion, All patriotic Banks and Bankers in this vicinity have the notes on hand for sale, or will order them from Messrs. Frsx &.

Resolved, That the recent so called amend- ment to the constitution of the United States passed by Congress and submitted to, the legislatures of the several states, 18 a covert attempt to overthrow and destroy the great Democraticidea of “State Rights,” and was 'in our judgement designed as. another step to consolidated power, as an insuperable obstacle to any propositions for a peaceable adjustmemt of the difficulties now exrsting between the North and South, and as an eternal barrier to mould-Union. ~ Resolved, That we cordially recommed the State ticket nominated by the convention as eminentlyworthy of the support of the elec- tors of this State, and pledge our earnest ef- forts for its success. - ' An agent for the society in New York ‘for the diffusion of political knowledge’. here- made an appeal for money donations to be expended in the enlightenment ‘of the abo- litionists of Connecticut.” _ C.

Winter at the North. , What character winter bears in the far north, in the regions lying around Hudson’s Bay and in the wilderness beyond, we know not by actual experience and care little to learn. But the aspect of this dreary season in the northern-most states of our Union is not materially different from what it is in the thickly populated sections of Canada. The snows are not much less, ranging usually from two to four feet deep on a level. Plen- ty of snow is a desideratum here. It is need- ed to facilitate the hauling of wood and the, important business of logging. Heavy tim- ber and thousands of cords of wood must be cut in the mountains and dragged or sledded to theplace of sale or consumption. A con- siderable depth of snow is required to render this a possible task. In this locality, too, the crystal effusions of the skies furnish some- thing more than a fair robe to . hide the ground’s nakedness; they provide a warm blanket under which the earth is snugly tuck- ed in the fall to sleep as quietly as a mother‘s darling in its crib, until the spring birds pro- claim the night past andthe morning of the year fully come, when it, puts on .its new clothes with none of the shiverings that take place when the night-dress 'has been thin and the bed covering insuficient. The pleasures of sleighriding in this lati- tude are diminished very much by the sever- ity‘of the climate. On this account there oc- cur few Of those sleighing parties which else- where young ladies, and for that matter sus- ceptible young gentlemen, too, regard “it not bad totake.” » Over a smooth road to glide in a roomy and luxurious sleigh; behind fleet horses, the air duly bracing, bright eyes around you vying with the stars, sweet voi- ces adding to the silverymusic of the bells,is to enjoy much in the present and make large investments for future reminiscence. The theme is worthy the graphic pen of Mr. “Josh Billings." But when the mercury is at zero, and the snow, driven in great whirls by the sweeping winds, blocks up the roads with drifts into which the horses plunge with des- peration, sleigh-riding becomes a painful labor ratherthan a pleasant amusement. Still, winter here is a season of enjoyment because it is the season of health. The little girls with their sleds play along the beaten paths, getting rosy cheeks and strong lungs against the day of tight dresses and heated dancefrooms. The boys grow stout‘ and tough of course. Gathered in warm houses around healthy wood fires, families pass cheerfully the long evenings discussing up pics and the affairs of their neighbors. It is a season having also a beauty of its own, and instructing the mind by lessons drawn from surrounding nature, rugged and Wild though it be. I saw the other evening our western mountain lit up in an'unusual manner with the gloriesvof departing day. Streaming splendors from the high heavens came down and folded its rough gray sides and brOkcn ridge in a glowing embrace, fringing with warm color great banks of mist that rested above the summit, until the out— line melted intO‘tlié rosy efl'ulgencc and, the mountains seemed to be lifted to an unwon— tedhight.So that this eminence,uo more than a. hill really, appearingto tower to mid heav— ens because the Skics kissed it in love, be- came for the moment a thing grand, sublime. Thus I thought is it with man. 0f himself he is a being of some power and greatness but not much. But God comes down and bathes man’s head and heart and soul in the glories of His truth and love, and man becomes a. being of majestic character, and by a. power not of himself but from above, is lifted into the resplendent brightness of God’s radiant heaven.

His first perfected machine is new in practical ob- erstion at Sutherland’s Falls, Vt., run- ning night and day, and doing, by the help of two men and a boy, the work of thirty-six men. He has four more com- pleted, many ordered, and more are wont. ed faster than they can be made. All kinds of stone can thus be, out better, smoother, and with less waste of material, than by hand, ond at less than half the cost. This machine is evidently destined to revolutionize the stone-cutting busi- ness, as wall as to make some ~onc’s for- tnnv.

We present to our readers in this week’s Edition, the lat Quarterly Reportofthe Uni- ted States College of Business and Finance, New Haven, Conn. We notice flint Ex- Secretary Chase is Chairman of the Board ofVisitors; that it comprises among its Board of Managers and Visitor's,somc of our best educators and benevolent anti patriotic citizens. The aims and objects of the United States I“— l , College of Business and Finance—TO be a regularIncorporated Institution, with En- dowments and regular Professorships, with | power to confer Degrees—to this end, it is to be thoroughly national in its character, and comprehensive in its aims. First; by educating disabled soldiers alhalf tuition.— Sccond, by granting Life Scholarships Free to others that maybe in reduced circumstan- ces, who have distinguished themselves in the service of their country in its hour of peril. Third, by placing the tuition at such a reduced figure, that all classes may become practically educated for the duties of 9. Com- mercial life. Fourth,to open wide the door for business culture to the women of Ameri— ca—in a word, it. is intended to be to the business and financial world what West Point is to the military, or Yale is to the lit- erary. The long felt want Of an institution that shall keep pace with our wonderful growth as a Commercial People; the great and still growing demand for a first class Fi- nancial and Business College dedicated to the nation, it is confidently believed is fully supplied in the founding of the United States College at New Haven. It is intended to fit young men for Mer- chants, Bunkers, Business Managers and Fi- nanciers, Accountants, Correspondents, Tci- egrapli Operators, and all other duties which a. business life engenders. Its full course of instructions comprises three Degrees of four, eight, and tWelve months. The partial course embraces all the studies in the first degree, and includes every thing usually taught in Commercial or Business Colleges, and can be completed in twelve or sixteen months. See Report. REPORT or run United States College of Busi- ness and Finance, New Ha- ven, Conn., J annary,1865. The Board of Managers of the United States College of Business and Finance, gratefully recognize the words of encourage- ment and good cheer, the influence and aid so cordially extended by its friends and pat- rons, towards the founding of an education- al Institution, dedicated to Business and Finance—arc pleased to be able to make so favorable a report of its growth, and almost wonderful prosperity. One quarter has scarcely elapsed since the building was dedicated to the nation—the young men and worneu of our land—and al- ready it numbers nearly Three Hundred Members—intelligently representing nearly every section of our country, both from civil and military life. Sotne ofthesc are taking the full year's Course, comprising THREE DEGREES, and studies that include the Frencli,~Gcrman and the Spanish Languages; American History; Biography of eminent Business Men ; the Science of Government, Political Economy,Navigation, Architectural Drawing, and the higher Mathematics—in addition to the usual Course—which cm- bodies the Science of Accounts, Grammcr Correspondence,Business Arithmetic, Busi- ness Penmanship, Banking, Railroading, Insurance, Tclcgraplring, &c., &c., carried on and taught by a miniature world of busi. ness. The decision of the Board “ to admit disa- bled soldz'ers at half tut'lz'on,” is meeting with a liberal response. Quite a. large number of disabled officers and soldiers entered in De- cember, and this month shows an increase on that of last. Tire Association with Business Houses in the Eastern, Western, and Middle States, is nearly completed. Every confidence is felt, that with this Association firmly established, our merchants can readily procure intelli— gent, practical and accomplished associates, accountants and business managers—and graduates of the College, lucrative and prof- itab‘e positions. The first course of General Lectures was opened November 29th, by John B. Gough, followed by George W. Curtis, J. R. Gilmore, Dr. Clrnpin, Gen. E. W. Gantt, Rev. A. L. Stone, and closed by Fred Douglass. Rev. Mr. Beecher opened the Second Course on Monday, the 16th, and to-night, (24th,) Wendell Phillips commands on appre- ciate audience. He will be followed byBish- 0p Clark, of Rhode Island, Miss Anna Dick- inson, and other eminent speakers. These Lectures give great satisfaction, and are a source of' much benefit to the Student. The Managers are further pleased to re- port, that an Endowment is about being made to the College in'the form of a “ Busi— ness Library.” The Gallery of Art has al- ready received liberal favors, some four tlrou- sand dollars worth of Engravings and Pen Drawing Specimens having just been added to it. The increasing patronage and interest in the College by financiers, eminent business and literary men, who have so long felt the need of an Institution that should be thor— oughly national in its character and compre- hensive in its aims, have made it necessary to enlarge the Halls, and mid to the number of Class and Lecture Rooms. Hence, on the first of February, an entirely new Hall was Opencdantl so arranged as to make addition- al Departments for Ladies, and for Pen- Drawing, Ornamental Penmanship, and Tel- egraphin'r. This Hull also supplies a large Lecture Room, Drill Room, and a Chapel. It is confidentlv hoped and believed, flint with these additions, and comb incd faclities for classification and study, that a higher standard of scholarship will be attained ; and theta happy blending of morality and christian influence can he made a part Of business culture, life and character. We would warmly thank those who have given their influence in its behalf, trusting that it may continue to merit their aid—be a pride to its Board of Visits, their worthy Chairman, and of the nation, THUS.

PREVENTION or Pirrmc IN SMALLPOX. —\Vc believe that, by a very simple ap- plication, this dc<imble end has been at tained in the clinical wards in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Scotland. The application consists of a solution of India rubber in chloroform, which is painted ovor the fore (and neck in women) when tlrr- eruption llrrS become fully developed. When the chloroform has CVilpol'iltl‘d, which it readily does, there is left a thin elastic film of India rubber over the face. This the patient feels to be rather com- fortable than otherwise, inasmuch as the disagreeable itching, so generally com plained of, is almost entirely removed, and Wiltil. is more important, “pitting," once so common, and even now far from rare, is thoroughly prevented wherever the solution has been applied. It may be as well to state first Indian. rubber is l'..r from being very soluble in chloroform, so that, in making the solution, the India rubber must be cut into small pieces, and chloroform added till it is dissolved ’ The medical gentleman who has introduced this treatment has tried several other substances, but found none so generally useful. For instance, gutta percha was tried It has the advantage of being very soluble iii chloroform, and would have been a very admirable application but for the tendency it has to tear into ribbons, ‘whcnever the mouth is used, or even when the features play. India rub- ber, on the other hand, is pliable and elastic, allowing free use of the month without any danger (as a rule) of its tearing oil. If, however, from some cause or other. a portion is torn off, a fresh application of the solution by means of a large hair pencil, remedies the defect anti the mask is once more complete. Several patients who have had this India rubber mask applied concur in stating that they found it agreeable to wear, and their faces Were perfectly free from “pitting,” although other parts of the body, such as the arms. were covered. e‘.-. QUININE FOR SMALLPOX.—A London physician writes to the Times that quin- ine is a. remedy of great importance. It not only keeps in check the causes which produce pitting, but renders the disease. under ordinary circumstances; compara- tively harmless It is to be given thus:— One grain and a half to two grains, dissolved in ten drops Ofdilutcd sulphuric acid——to which add from two to three tablespoonfuls of water, forming a dose, to be taken from the commencement of the malady, every six hours. Light nourishment, pure air, with chlorine va- pors, so as to be sensible to the taste and smell. I transcribe this, ' thinking that it might prove useful in America. .-°>. m, It is officially stated that General Grant is using every exertion to effect a general exchange of all prisoners.

Our readers may think it strange that we so often urge upon their attention a medical preparation Already have we, for a number of weeks. urged the importance of a supply of Coe‘s Cough Balsam in the house, ready for immediate use. But our ex- cuse is the vast amount of sickness sorrow and death that are the immediate result of sudden coughs colds and pulmonary attacks rwhile thousands of our children are dying from croup and lung com- plaints. Time and experience have proved that Coe‘s Cough Balsam is the most speedy and relia- ble preperation ever known to the world. Like magic it relieves the irritation of the throat. re- moves ihe stoppages that prevent breathing in croup and heals all soreness Of the throat, chest andlungs. No man should neglect to supply his family with a safe and. reliable medicine like Coe’s Cough Balsam any more than he should neglect the supply of their daily bread.
