but slow progress, and at Philadelphia an-

of othersI could get no seat and had a
tedious time of it during the night. About

train finally arrived at Washington, six
hours behind time. ,_
The New York Dailies with their custo-
mary enterprise have given detailed ac-
counts Of the Review of both armies, with
minute accounts of the organization of each,
and knowing that you are much pressed for
space this week, I will give simply a mere
outline with several incidents specially inter-
esting to Connecticut peOple. The line of
march was from the capitol through Penn-
sylvania Avenue and past the White House,
in. front of which had been crectedalarge
covered stand or platform, which was deco-
rated with flags, flowers and evergreens,
. with the names of the principal battles in
_ which the Armies of the Union had taken
. part. In this stand sat President Johnson,
with See. Stanton and .Gen. Grant on his
right, Gen. Meade, Sec. Welles and others on
his left, and several hundred distinguished
ofl‘lcers, civilians, and ladies in their rear.—
Flanking the pavilion on each side, were
very long stands, and on the Opposite side
of the Avenue were stands for Governors of
States, Sherman’s and Meade’s Staffs, and
for delegations from Connecticut, Ohio, New
Jersey and Massachusetts. The ‘Connc .1.
, ‘ cut stand was one of the best, being direc y
’ ' opposite the Reviewing stand; it bore the
motto, “ Connecticut greets all who bravely
fought, and weeps for those who fell.” The
stand was crowded with ladies and gentle-
men from Connecticut, among whom we
noticed Dr. A. Hill and daughter, S. E. Olm-
stead, Esq., and Mr. and Mrs. Byington from
Norwalk; Post Master Smith, Collector
Hollister, and Mr. Truby of Bridgeport;
and Mr. Alvord of Fairfield. The Norwalk
delegation were indebted to the forethought
of our Senior, for tickets, without which
they could have obtained no satisfactory
sight of the Review. Gov. Buckingham oc-
cupied the stand set aside for Governors and
friends.
The Army of the Potomac commenced
the march from the Capitol at 9 O’clock, a.
m., Tuesday, headed by Gen. Meade, and fol-
lowed _by Sheridan’s Cavalry, under com-
mand‘ Of Gen. Merritt. In this Cavalry
Corps was the First Connecticut Cavalry,
Major L. P. Goodwin. l‘he Cavalry were
about two hours passing. The young and
dashing Gen. Custer, rode a blooded horse,
which started to run away with him just
before reaching the President’s stand. Cus-
ter lost his hat, but as he dashed past the
stand he did not fail to give the salute.—
He soon managed the steed, and returned,
amid the cheers of the spectators. The Cav-
alry was followed by the Artillery, 0f
the corps, the Provost Marshal’s Brigade,
and then a Brigade Of Engineers, with axes,
shovels, &c., under command of Gen. Beu-
ham, of Connecticut. Next came Buruside’s
old Ninth Corps under command of Major
_Gen. J. G. Parke, then the Fifth Corps, Gen.
Grifiiu, and the Second Corps, Gen. Miles.
The 14th Conu., Lt.-Col. Pierce, was in this
last: named corps, which completed the re-
view of the Army of the Potomac. The
men marched twenty abreast, in as close and
' compact manner as possible, and were over
six hours in pissing. The number was esti-
‘ mated at 66,000.
On Wednesday, at 9 o’clock, a. m., the
Review of Gen. Sherman’s army commenced.
As the General advanced and made his sa-
lute, he was most enthusiastically applauded.
' The scene cannot be deseribed. ‘After pass-
ing the stand, he dismounted and returned
. to take his position with the President on the
' stand. He was accompanied by Gen. HOW-
ard, “the Christian soldier.” The Army of
, the Tennesse came first, under command of
Gen. Logan, Who made a fine appearance.
As one of the first regiments passed, some
one announced that it was the “ Fifth Con-
necticut,” and it was greeted with nine hear-
ty cheers from the Connecticut stand. It
proved, however, to be an Ohio regiment.
Commanding the Second Brigade, Third
Division, of this Army, was our old friend,
Brig-Gen. William T. Clark, of Norwalk.—
He made a very fine appearance, and was
greeted with cheers from the Connecticut
stand.‘ His brigade was one of the largest
in the army, and none appeared better. The
17th corps came next under command of
-' Gen. Frank P. Blair. Maj-Gen. Slocum
next appeared commanding the “Army of
Georgia,” and after passing returned ‘and
took gtseat on the platform. The Twentieth
Corps, (Hooker’s old'corps) was under com~
mand of, “, Fighting J oe” Mower, a noble son
of Connecticut, and a decided pet in the ar-
my._ Asa regiment in the first Brigade of
the First ‘Division was passing, remarked
to a friend“ They march better than any
regiment we have seen, either yesterday or
to-day,” and just then my eye caught the
word, “sustinel” on the State Banner. The
'flag unfurled and we ' read the name “5th
Connecticut Veteran Volunteers,” with the
State seal and the motto “ Qui transtulet sus-
tiriet.” The Second Division was command-
ed by Geu. John W. Geary. The 20th Con-
necticut was in the third Division. The 14th
Corps was the last to pass.
During the brief intermission between the
passage of the several corps the crowd would
press out directly in front of the Reviewing
stand and call out the President, Sec. Stan»
ton, Geus. Grant, Sherman. Meade, Howard,
SIOCUm, Logan, Hancock, and other digni-
taries who would rise and bow in acknowl-
edgment. You can form no just conception
of the magnitude of the Review even alter
reading the detailed accounts in New - York
papers. Seventy-five thousand are said to
have passed in review the second day. The
troops marched well, but the Review was
by no means a parade of State Militia in
bright new uniforms, for the men looked
“rough and ready" and inured to hard ser-
vice. Therc were many. interesting, and
some ludicious scenes connected with the
review, allusion to which want of space for—
bids. ‘ ~-
Siuce the review,'Sherman’s Army have
been passing through the city to their new
camps. One constant train of six mule ar-
my-wagons has been crossing Long Bridget
fo'rfihe last three days and nights.
I-The city is full of oflicers, soldiers, army
wagons, &c.,but there is little news to give,
of any moment. G. N. E.

ed at Grover’s Theatre in Washington, and .
is nightly applauded. It is yet destined to.

i
_ti'me past preparing to commemorate in a
becoming manner the One Hundrcth Anni-
versary of St. John’s Lodge, No. 6, of this
place, on Tuesday the 23d inst. Extensive
preparations for a grand celebration had
been made, and large numbers of the frater-
nity from abroad were expected to take part.
The rain of Monday and the threatening as-
pect of the weather on Tuesday morning, no
doubt kept hundreds away, and in some in-
stances whole lodges failed to come to time,
standing this, however, there was a very
large attendance, about all that the large
Halls prepared for them could accommodate
and all had a right good and joyous time.
Lodges from up the D. & N. R. R. com-
menced arriving about 8 o’clock, A. M., and
at 10 o’clock St. John’s Lodge, headed by
Helmsmuller’s Band, of New York, and the
Reception Committee, proceeded to South
Norwalk, and escorted the visiting Lodges
up West Avenue to St. John’s Lodge Room.

The following Clergymen sat in the Chancel]:—
Rev.‘ Drs. Randall, Stone and Mead; and the Rev.
Messrs. Pnrvcs, Stimson, W. H. Williams. Wood'
rufi', Pattison, Chamberlain, French and Debrisay.
From the Rev. Dr. Mead’s sketch we gath-
cr that St. John’s Lodge first received its
Charter from the Provincial Grand Lodge Of
New York through Grand Master George
Harrison Esq.,and Benjamin IsaacsEsq., was
its first Master, who held that Office for some
11 years. The speaker called attention to
thefact that time made no difference in the
masonic fraternity with the respect in which
those who had done their duty truly and
honestly in the order were held, their mem-
ory was kept green, as could be witnessed by
all present. by visiting the tomb of the first
Master who died nearly a century ago, which
was near the entrance of the Church, on
their left hand side as they came up to cum.
Upon the organization of the Grand Lodge
of the State of Connecticut, this Charter
which constituted the Norwalk'Lodge as
St.John’s Lodge, No. l. was surrendered up
to them, when they issued another in its
place, making it St.Johu’s Lodge, No. 6. un-
der which Charter it has continued until the
present time. The Rev. Dr. also alluded
with great emphasis and pride to the course
of the Lodge through the great Anti-Mason-
ic excitement through which time although
many Lodges were closed and Masonry was
threatened with extermination, St. John’s
Lodge. under the safe and careful guidance
of W. M. JAMES STEVENS, kept upon the
even tenor of its way, remaining steadfast
and true to the principles of Masonry, and
never closing its doors, coming out at the close
of the cxcitemcnthcalthy, strong and vigor-
ous. He contended that all true Masons had
cause to be proud and thankful, and to rejoice
at this fact. He paid a glowing tribute to
the memory of Past Master, James Stevens,
for the eminent qualities displayed by him
through it all, and exhibited the jewel pre-
sented by this Lodgeto said Past Master as
a slight token of their appreciation of the ser-
vices then performed by him.
, He also alluded to another fact which is a
source of pride to members of this Lodge,
that the ancestor of one of the greatest and
noblest Generals and purest and most devo-
ted patriot cver produced: also of his broth-
er, one of the most distinguished Senators in
Congress, who is fast making for himself a
solely on account Of the weather. Notwi thlt
quest, (and were exhibited by the Rev. D00-
tor) as a memento and keepsake of his faith
and sincere convictions ofthe truths of Ma-
sonry.
In conclusion the speaker complimented
them for the high standing of their Lodge
and Order, and exhorted them to stand as
fast to it in the future as their ancestors had
'done in the past.
The Address of the Rev. Mr. Randall on
the Moral, Social and-Political Conservatism
of Free Masonry, was an able, earnest and
elegant discourse. *
- After the services were over in the Church
the Order, on leaving, defiled and passed
around the Tomb of first Master Benjamin
Issues, which was neatly and tastefully dec-
orated with evergreens and Masonic em-
blems, raised in the form Of a triumphs] arch
over the marble slab which bore the record
of his name, age and christian usefulness.
Pendant from the arch was a large wreath
of evergreens and ribbons with the medal in
the center. The Band» standing near the
head of the grave, played a beautiful and ap-
propriately solemn dirge. Upon the conclu-
sion of this ceremOny, the procession was
again formed and proceeded! down across
Bark Mill Brook, through North Avenue to
Main, down Main to Wall, thence to Nor.
walk Hull, where an elegant collation had
been provided under the direction, of “mine
host” Foster, and for which their long fast
had prepared them to do justice. Here we
believe they 11 ad “a. feast of reason and flow
ofsoul,” in the shape of an abundance of good
catables, witty 'a'nd sparkling toasts, which
called out earnest, hearty and eloquent re-
sponses from Dr. Mackey of Charleston, Rev.
Dr. Randal of Massachusetts and others; all
of whom expresed themselves delighted with
the celebration and festivities of the day, and
with the free, liberal and brotherly courtesies
shown them by their hosts and brothers of
SaJohn's Lodge, and wished them all man-
ner of good things in return. We regret
that we were not able to listen to the ad-
dress Of Dr. Mackey, which is spoken of by
all as having been most truly eloquent, cf-
fcctivc, and patriotic. He expressed his great
gratification as a man and a. Mason at the
termination of hostilities and the return of
Peace. Had endeavored to prove himself
through it all a Union man, believing it to
be consistent with his duties as a true and
faithful Mason. Outside we heard him re-
gret that the re were nota few more Centen-
nial Celebrations he could attend in this vi_-
cinity as he thought he rather liked them.
Dr. M., and his lady were the guests of Geo.
R. Cholwell, Esq.
The following are the regular toasts offer-
ed at the Collation :
1. THE DAY WE CELEBRA TE—An Epoch
in the history of our Lodge, when we can
look back over the hundred years that have
passed since its organization, and gratefully
recall to memory the services and virtues of
its founders and supporters who are gone ;
when we may survey with becoming modes-
ty, but with just pride its present numbers,
efficiency and reputation, and when we look
forward with fixed resolve, that our future
progress shall be upward, as it is onward, to
“purer light," more “perfect work,” and a
still “brighter history." .
2. OUR CBERISHED INSTITUTION—Sur-
passing all other mere human institutions in
its origin, its ago, its ethics and doctrines,
its ceremonies and symbols, and the univer-
sality of its brotherhood. Rivalry has but
excited and increased it, persecution puri-
fied and strengthened it, audit “stands creel."
today, more than ever justified in its “boast”
find in every clime a brother, and in every
land a home.” -
3. THE GRAND LODGE OF THE STATE OF
CONNECTICUT—Venerated by all good Ma-
sons within its jurisdiction as the fountain
of‘ masonic authority, the preservcr of con-
cord and harmony among the Lodges, and
the watchful guardian of the ancient land-
marks: and usages of the order. "W e meet
and welcome with due homage its Grand
Officers who. are present with us to-day.
(Responded to by the Grand Master and
Deputy Grand Master.) ‘ .
4. THE BROTHERHOOD IN THE UNITED
STATEs—While with loyal hearts we have
grieved at the madness and delusion of many
of our Southern Masonic brethren, and the
sundering of our fraternal relations by a
most lamentable civil war, we yet remem-
ber that “the chief corner stone of our Ma.-
sonic temple is charity” that is kind, that
not only commiserates and relieves, but re-
claims—and we say with joy, “All hail to
the 'morning” of peace,—-“all hail” to its
Cheering beams of returning reason and af-
fection, and “all hall" to the assurance of a
re-united brotherhood, and a more glOrious
future. _
' (Responded to by Brother Albert G. Mack-
ey, of South Carolina.) - . .
MUSIC—Columbia the Gem of the Ocean.
5. OUR ABsENT BROTHERS—In connec-
tion with this the following letter of Broth-
er Hezekiah Scott was read and received
with three cheers for the brother.

-After the Collatiou,‘ speeches, &c., were

evening festivities, returned to their homes,

The music by Helmsmuller’s Band, was ex-

Traitors Indictegl. .
The grandjnry of Washington has indic-
ted Jefl‘ Davis and J. C. Breckenridge for
Treason. Good so far as its-goes, but they
ought not to stop there. Let them go on
and indict, try, and hang a score or so more
of the leaders, such as G. T. P. Beauregard,
R. E. Lee, J. P.‘ Benjamin, Wigfall, Toombs,
Gov. Piuckney,of South CarOlina, H. A.Wise,
and others. And while about it not forget

The Constitutional Amend-
ment.
The proposed Amendment to the Consti-
tution of this State, striking out the word
white, from the qualifications necessary to
become an elector, was carried in the House
of Representatives on Thursday last by two
more than the'requisite two-thirds vote, and
will doubtless. pass the Senate this week
unanimously. It now becomes necessary
that it shall receive a majority vote of the
people at the next general election, or at a
special election held for that purpose, to
complete its full adoption. If a majority in
izen, who has obtained the proper age, and
settlement, and sustains a good moral char-
acter and can read the constitution of this
State, can become an elector, and a tax pay-
er. We believe that a majority of voters
will vote for the amendment as a matter of
justice, and that the effect will be in the
highest degree beneficial to the colored peo—
ple among us.

CHOSEN TO EXAMINE THE PRACTICAL AND
THEORETICAL COURSE OF INSTRUCTION AT
Bryant, Stratton dc Corbin’s
BRIDGEPORT BUSINESS COLLEGE.
Feeling an interest in the success of the
Commercial College in this city, we paid it
a visit, and had the pleasure of observing
its workings and the excellent system of
imparting instruction which the worthy
Principals have adopted. We were es-
yccially pleased with the actual practice
which was in full Operation The Bankis
conducted on the true Banking principles
and the books are kept according to ap-
proved business methods; aud, indeed, the
same may be said of the books kept in all
the departments of study. While we were
in the Bank,a deposit of $30,000 was re—
ceived from another College, and placed to
their credit—minus 1-4 per cent. exchange.
Several shipments Were also received from
other Colleges by the students in the Com—
mission House; some to be sold on account
of the shippers and others on joint account.
This system of intercommunicatiou is a spe—
cial point which Bryant & Stratton’s chain
of 00119 es alone possesses.
A“ erchant’s Emporium” we found do-
ing a wholesale dry goods business. A bill
is invariably made out for each purchaser,
and pa ment received by checks, drafts,uotes
&c. any of the orders received by this
house are sent by telegraph.
All in all, the institution is a most excellent
one, and we can cordially recommend it to
all young men who are seeking for an educa-
tion which they can apply to the Practical
details of life. -'

how badly broken the may have been—to bring
them to “ WuEELER’s REAT INTERNATIONAL 0m-

most savage and furious of them by kind and gentle
means. but also in his Lectures instruct their own-
ers how to do it themselves. In illustrating his the-
ory, Mr. Rarey will introduce Lord Dorghester’s la-
mous English Horse.
CRUISER.
Upon whom he first displayed in England the mighty
magic of his art. For three years CRUISE had
been unmastered, no person having dared to ap-
proach him. He was vicious from afoul—a perfect
fiend incarnate—whose malice and fury rendered
him a terror to his kee crs. He would often kick
and scream with rage or ten minutes towethcr;
tear up the ground with his teeth. snap iron ars rm
to fragments like pipe stems, and he ' his stall I_nt.o

to dress him by the aid ofa long pole. to which the
curry-comb was‘afiixed; a great iron muzzle (which
has been preserved by Mr. Rarcy, and _wrll be shown
during the lecture) was placed upon him by strata-
orem when it. was necessary to bring him out, and he
had to be fed by food thrown to him from a safe
V distance. In the course of three lessons, this “fiery
untamed steer " was completely subjugated by Mr.
Rarey, and became as gentle and (lactic as a lady’s
pet pony. In London, Mr. Rarey gave his Lectures
and exhibition of CRUISER in the presence of
ueen Victoria. her family. and all the priuCipal
Nobility of England, the price of tickets on this oc-
casion being flve gnineus or over fift dollars each.
No man befbre RAREY ever succeeding in subdnino

the Horse instead of breaking him. The veriable
CRUISER, though getting old, is still a fine speci-
