Per. order, ' Town Com. ATTENTION, FREEMEN ! In just threeéweeks the ‘Freemen of patri otic and gallant Old Connecticut are to Mar- shal their forces. at the Ballot Box. We have been anxious and active in the few months last past to fill our quota in the armies of the Union. In this we have been successful and Connecticut is saved the hard- ships Ofa Draft. The successful result of our patriotic efforts has earned for us the congratulations and admiration of all our sister states, as well as of our own people. And now that we approach another and the most sacred duty known to Freemen, let us not be found remiss in effort, or wanting in patriotic devotion to Liberty and its candi- dams We have no partizan appeals to make. Our candidates are all marshalled forthe contest. This is no lime for clap- trap, fustian or nonsense. The rebellion _ reels to its fall, the hoarse, sepulchral death, rattle sounds in its throat, and we entreat every ran who loves Liberty, God and his Fellow-Man to note in the same direction, we have been sending our bullets. Organize, systematize, quietly, silently, but EARNEsT- LY, THOROUGHLY for the support of our Country, its cause and its Representative sup- porters and defenders, a.-.

Norwalk Savings Bank. Several weeks ago in an article on Govern- ment Loans, we stated that Savings Banks generally paid but five per cent. interest. This is not true, however, of the Norwalk Savings Bank, whidh pays six per cent. interest, and with the exception ofsix months, has always done so. Being personally acquainted with the managers of this institution, we have per- fect confidence in it, and cheerfully recom- mend it to all, believing there is no better or safer Savings Bank in the State. c<.>» WHYIIB 11‘ ?—-It is told us as a fact, that strangers coming up-townon the Horse Cars always enquire for Morris &. Doty’s Dry Goods Store, and for no other. The reason is, because (until recently) that enterprising firm was the only Dry Goods establishment in town that advertised We have often nO- ticed that the Horse Cars seldom pass Ga- zette Building, either way, without stopping to set down or take up passengers. Reason —all the occupants of the Building adver- tise. We do not speak of this to induce oth- er merchants to advertise, for we are at pres- ent overrun with favors from those who know by experience the value of advertis- , ing, and if our dealers do not think it will pay they must " live and learn.” Still as ours is a local paper, we should prefer to fill our advertising columns entirely with heat notices, but until our merchants learn that judicious and constant advertising page we must necessarily accept whatever offers. ———¢«....__—— WVermont ratified the Constitutional Amendment, on the 9th inst.

SUMMIT POINT,- VA., March 9, 1865 FRIEND II.—* * '3" “ 0n the 27th Fe a large force of Cavalry left Winchester in der command of Sheridan and last Thurs- day we got a telegraphic dispatch from Gen. Grant that Sheridan had taken Early and about (1800) eighteen hundred of his corn- mand. Grant got his news through desert- ers, and as we did not hear any further, from Sheridan‘we came to the conclusion that it was not true. But last evening we got a. dispatch from Winchester that-the Prisoners had arrived and would come through during the night. About one O’clock the order came around for me to fall in the men under arms and wait until the Prisoners got well past. Three trains loaded with them, passed down to Harpers Ferry, and it is said there was about (1300) thirteen hundred of them; it is also stated that Early was not with them. I tell you, little Phil is a brick. Wait a few days and we will hear from Sherman, the other brick, and Thomas the third brick. The johnnys may as well look two ways for a loop-hole for they are gone as sureas fate. Sheridan is in for Lynchburg,-—hope he will be successful. We have been under marching orders for about two weeks. I expect every day to hear the agreeable order to move. I tell you friend H., this Rebellion is near- ly played out, you may know by 'the death of the Copperheads at the North—bury them as fast as they die, so they will never have a Resurrection again. A. S. H. n<.p.s SHERMAN—We are still in ignorance of Gen. Sherman’s whereabouts, but believe him to be somewhere in North Carolina, try- ing to find some one bold enough to knock the chip off his shoulder. Rumor places him near Raleigh, and from the tone of the press of that cizy, we believe the people would consider it another blessing in disguise if he would capture and occupy not only the city, but the whole State. The rebels do not yet claim to haverannihilsted his army, so we presume they are doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. n<.>- SHERIDAN—Since our last nothing reliable has been heard from Gen. Sheridan. The rebel papers, however, do not claim to have captur- ed or repulsed him, so we rest‘content. He is on a grand raid, and means to win. De- serters say that a large force of Federal cav- alry are also marching on Lynehburg, from East Tennessee, which report we'hope is true. Forty officers, thirteen hundred men, and eight pieces of Artillery, captured by Sheridan at Fisherville, have safely arrlv ed. M W We are indebted to Capt. Hobbie, Co. B , 17th Regiment, who has been a prisoner in the lower regions—of the United States, and has just been exchanged, for copies of the Raleigh ( N. C.)

The combinations of‘ this roofing are such as to render it perfectly water- very great saving of at least 25 percent over any other roofing in use. C. W.

A great many people, at the present day, think more of obtaining a publicity and popularity, than of any other one thing they could possibly be pos- sessed of. But, anxious as they may be to acquire the vain glory of the popular voice, none ever suc - ceeded to so great an extent as has that world- renowned remedy, known as Coe's Cough Balsam. There is scarcely a family in the land but what con- sider a supply of this article as necessary to the household as theirtlour or provssions. Experience has taught the people that no other remedy has ev- er been put before the public that will cure coughs, colds, croup, sore throat. and in .iact all throat and lung complaints , as quickly and as effectually as Ooe’s Cough Balsam. In the Eastern States, where it has been long known and tested, it is considered as the most reliable cough remedy extant, and no one, either rich or poor, think of being without it. We would suggest to all our readers the necessity of keeping on hand an article of this kind for imme- in 38 sold at all our drug stores, and is the cheapest and best remedy in the world. lmll ‘->oo——- WHISKBRS I WHISKERS I Do you want Whiskers or Mustaches.

Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak ness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of ap- petite. distress after eating, torpid liver, constipa- tion, die. deserve to suffer if they will not try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS. which are now reccommended by the highest medi- cal authorities, and warranted to produce an imme- diate beniflciai efl‘ect. They are exceedingly agree- able, perfectly pure, and supercede 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 ofdisslpatlon and latehours They strengthen the system and enliven the mind. They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers. They purify the breath and acidity of the stomacl They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation. They cure Diarrhoea, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache They make tne weak strong, the languid brilliant, and are exhausted nature’sggrent restorer. ' They are composed of the celebrated Calisuya bark, win- tergrcen, ass'snfrns, roots and herbs, all preservedin pure St. Croix rum. For particulars, see circulars and testimonials around each bottle. Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle. See that it has our private U. S. Stamp uumutilated 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 stufi‘. Airy person pretending to sell Plantation Bit- ters by the gallon or in Bulk, is an impostcr. Airy person imitating this bottle, or, selling any other material therein, whether culled Plantation Bitters or not, is a criminal under tin-‘l.’ 5. Law, and will be prosecuted by us. We air-curry have our eye on several parties refilling our bottles, See. who wil succeed in getting themselves into close quarters. The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from in- 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 espec druggists, grOccrs, physicians, hotels, saloons, stei’imboats and country stores. P. 11. DRAKE do CO. . _ Broadway, N.
