0ur Public Bonds.

We are rejoiced to learn that there is a
reasonable prospect of having our Roads
repaired, Never within the memory of

' the oldest inhabitant, have our public
thoroughfares been in so wretched a con-
dition for so long a period. Take for
example the Avenue leading from 300th
Norwalk Depot to the Bridge for nearly
thrée months past this road, over which
probably a thousand vehicles pass each
day, would scarcely be safe or cadurable

or driving were it not for the repairs
"made five feet: from the track by the rail-
road company. Onward to Westport,
the road goes from bad to worse, while
on nearly all the cross ,or latteral roads
leading to_ and ”from the village, are—
well—jsimply disgraceful to the town and
every ,voter‘ thereof. It is true, that"
therehavebe'eu'more frequent and copi-
ous summer rains than usual, but this is
not sufficient to excuse the long and to-
tal neglect of our Highways. There
must be something wrong in the present
system of working them which should
ensure the careful deliberation of our tax
payers and voters. As now managed,
every merchant and business man in town
is seriously injured in his trade and the
reputation of our townvfor public thrift
and enterprise-well nigh ruined. ' But
there are other and more potent consid-
erations to urge on our Road Masters to
a little activity in the work of Highway
repairs. We know of at least two cases
where the town will be called upon to
make good serious damages sustained by
the non-repair of roads right here within
the Borough limits. Claims legally col-
lectable too and which will assuredly be
enforced if no attempt is made to abate
the injury. Wont the road men vindi-
cate themselves from blame by energetic
action ? -

Arrival of our Veterans.

The gallant 17th, of which Companies A
and F, were from Norwalk, reached New
Haven on Tuesday last, from their last ren-
dezvous in Florida.

The Regiment was received in New Ha-
ven, Tuesday by His Honor Mayor Scranton,
in behalf Of the city, and were address-
ed by His Excellency, Gov.’ Bucking-
ham, and Rev. Leonard Bacon, D. D. Col.
Allen on the part of the regiment, returned
thanks for their kind reception. The list of
officers is as follows:

Lieut-Col. Commanding—Henry Allen,
Norwalk.

Adjutant—George C. Peck, Greenwich.

Quartermaster—John S. Ward, Bridge-
port.

Surgeon—Sabin Stocking, Glastonbury.

Asst. Surgeons—Elijah Gregory, Bridge-
port; Henry S. Turreil, New Milford.

Captains—Enos Kellogg, New Canaan;
Chas. A. Hobbie, Stamford; Wm. L. Hub-
bcll, Bridgeport; James H. Ayers, New Ls-
uaan; James E. Hubbell, Westport.

First Lieutenants—John Harvey, Stamford;
Albert W. Peck, Newtown '; J. E. More-
house, Daricn; Henry McDonough West-

pert; Thos. H. Cave, New Canaan; Henry

North, Bridgeport ; Wm. M. Daniels, Dan-
bury ; Charles Smith Jr, Bridgeport.

Second Lieutenants—George W. Show,
Norwalk; 0. E. Doty, Norwalk; Edgar S.
Wilcoxson, Bridgeport.

The regiment was raised in Fairfield coun
ty,'aud entered into the service in Septem—
ber, 1862, and has been in action often and
took part in the battles of Chancellorsville
and Gettysburg. .

The oflicers of the Regiment when it ,left
Bridgeport, were, Col. W. H. Noble, Lieut.
001. Charles H. Walters, Major A. G. Brady,
Adjutant A. H. Wilcoxson. Co. A, waI
from N orwalk and their original oflicers
were Capt. Douglas Fowler, 1st. Lieut. John
McQuhae,2ud Lieut John W. Crew. 00.
F. Capt. Enoch Wood, 1st Lieut. Henry Al-
len, 2nd Lieut Wm. S. Kellogg. Among
those Killled and died from Norwalk, were
Colonel Fowler, Thomas McLaughlin, Lew-
is H. Arnold, John W. Metcalf, Wilbur B.

Morgan, Sergeant Edward Smith, Corporal
James Waterworth,with many others whose
names we do not now recall. Poor WALTERS,
a noble nfiicer was killed at Chancellorsville
and his body now lies sepulchred on that
bloody field. FOWLER, bravest of the brave»
as generous a spirit as was ever given to the
cause, lies in his unknown but not unwept or
unhonored grave atGettysburg.

WILCOXSON, another as gallant a soul as
ce’r breathed out a heroic life for the cause
we love, lies eutombed far away amid the
everglades of Florida. And so on with
scores of others who have fallen in the fierce
contest, and whose names shall henceforth
become immortal.

The war-worn an's boys will also be
here. :For months after leaving the State
they performed the active picket duty on the
Potomac, and must have marched three
thousand miles before they went west and
thence trumped across the country via At~
lama to Savannah and Washington. .

Our boys in the 6th and 7th with scatter-
ing names in other regiments have happily
reached home and will be present to receive
the cordial greetings of their friends to-mor—
row.

We learn. that the bronzed and scarred
veterans willbereceived by Welcoming ad-'
dresses from Judge Butler, which will be re-
sponded to by Gen. Ferry on the part of the
Veterans.

A large and influential Committee are en-

rgcticaiiy at work to render the occasion a
creditable to the town and gratifying to the
boys in Federal Blue.

Let all business be suspended, the stores
and shops closed,and the afternoon given up
to wholesome rejoicing and the free inter.
change of congratulations.

WDuring, or rather just at the com-
mencement of the heavy rain storm on
Tuesday evening last, the Lightning struck
the Horse Railway track in front of the Fair-
tield County National Bank, but without
' doing any damage. It also about the same
time struck a Rock between the residences
of Dr. Samuel Lynes and Mrs. Isaac S. Beers,
West Avenue, splitting the rock and tearing
up the ground considerably, and we learn
the shock knocked dowu a small boy who
was passing at the time, but fortunately do-
ing no injury to him.

proud day for old Norwalk. On that-oc-
casion, without distinction of creeds or
party, her patriotic citizens are to unite

unfurled flag of a restored UNION, and of
unchallenged governmental. authority

the Gulf and from‘tbe Pcnobscot to the
RIO Grande. 'While abroad throughout
the earth and upon every sea the "Flag

aegis of Freemen and a Free People.
Made doubly secure and powerful: by the
privations and devotion of our citizen
soldiery.

FORT JOHNSON, Jonas ISLAND, S. C., i
‘ July 6th, 1865.

Mussns. Romans—The length of time !
which has elapsed since I last addressed you,
has not been owing to a diminished interest
in your ever welcome sheet, or the lack of a
desire, to contribute my mite thereto, but
rather to the increase of cares and duties,
consequent to the occupation of Charleston,
throwing upon our hands as it did, a popula-
tion of thousands of both colors, many suf- :
feriug from sickness or wounds, and all die.
tressed by their currency being in a moment
rendered valueless, for these, humanity

'clhirn‘ed'the attention 'of all whose 'o'fllcial

positions enabled them to extend assistance.

It would be difficult to describe the fee]-
ings with whichllook back upon the few
past months. At the time I} last wrote, the
eyes of the Nation were intently fixed on the
movements of General Sherman, who with
rapid strides was passing through the heart
of the South. The guns of Lee yet men-
aced usfrom behind the ramparts of Rich.
mond, and fond mothers, wives and sisters
anxiously waited the final and what was an-
ticipatedwouldbe the most fearful struggle
of the War. But the powers of the rebel-

lion passed away like the shifting scenes of

a drama, and those who composed it, like the
actors therein, have either assumed new
characters or paswd away from view. One
who was a leading actor in the tragic part,
has in the new cast, well proven his ability
to perform in comedy or farce as well, for as
though the rebellion had not been sufficient-
ly humbled, the leader thereof must needs be
taken in crinoline. vainly imagining that to
be the more sacred precinct which should af-
ford him any desired immunity,'even as in
the olden time those who were pursued, took

refuge in a temple, wherein no deeds of vio-

lence might occur on account of the sacred-
ness of the place.

The City of Charleston has not been slow
to accept of the new order of events; her
once deserted streets new team with life and
industry. The suburban gardens have been
well cared for and are supplying the mar-
ket with fruit and vegetables of all de-
scriptions. The neighboring planters have
in many instances made contracts with the
late slaves, and the prospect is favorable fOr
quite a valuable crop next fall. '

An occasional musical soiree is given by
the ladies of Charleston' in Music Hall, at
which considerable vocal talent is produced.
Free concerts are given at the Central Gar-
den in the evening, at which the attendance
is always large. -

More or less concern is felt by strangers
in regard to the yellow fever,- of which we
very naturally have a wholesome dread, but
it is the testimony of all residents that this
scourge never visits two consecutive sum-
mere, and as the disease prevailed last sum-
mer, they conclude the city will be free from
it this season. But a more reliable source of
immunity is to be found doubtless, in the ex-
cellent system of cleaning and qunitary po-
lice which has been inaugurated since our
possession of the place. The railroad has
been peen put in running order to Orange-
burg,a distance of somewhat more than a
hundred miles, and it is hoped that commu-
nication with New York by rail, will soon be
complete. The condition of the freed color-
ed people at the South, demands the atten-
tion ofali enlightened persons. They may

, constitute for us an element of strength, or,

if improperly cared for, may become a race
of paupers, a drag upon the nation, or worse
still. No one who has had the opportunity
to study their character and habits candidly,
will deny that they may becomean enlight-
ened and industrious race of beings. Already
within our immediate neighborhood they
have gone to work with zeal, so far as they
have had the means, and thousands of acres
of waving corn, already testify to their labors.
They have been but scantily supplied with
seed and implimeuts or the results might
have been much greater. The work of
teaching the young, goes bravely onward.
The children are anxious to learn and all
both old and young recognize already that
their weakness consists not in being black,
but in having been defrauded of their share
from the fountain of knowledge which God
meant should flow for all. -
A movement is in progress, to start a
newspaper under the auspices of colored
men, which shall be a proper exponent of the
rights and interests of their race. The pa-
per will probably take the name of the old
Mercury. , .
Now that our arms have been victorious it
remains for a just and generous peopleto ac-
cord equal rights and priviliges to those who
have stood shoulder to shoulder with us
in the work. What greater injustice

.could we do than deny the privilege of a

voice at the ballot to those who ‘have fought
to sustain the nation, while that privilege is

. given to those who were recently combined

to destroy the government.

Why should they be always calledAfricans,
who never saw that continent; if we only
call Americans thosewhose ancestors have
always lived here, we have no americans
but the Indian. - '

When prejudice against color shall become
entirely removed from the minds of Our
people, who shall become a people
in comparison with those whose-strength
and granduer not only the history of all oth-
er nations but even our own glorious past
shall dwindle to insignificance. N. S. R.

 

Glimpses of' the Flour City.

The traveller who passes through Roches-
ter by the Central Railroad, gets but a faint
idea Of the City, for he sees but little of it,
and that by no means the most attractive
part." . .

To see and appreciate the beauties of this
really handsome city, one must drive through
its broad, clean, well paved avenues,—-stroll
through its pleasant Parks, gaze upon its
Waterfalls, enter its private and public build.
iugs, visit its Churches and Schools, go
among its Mills and Manufacturing Estab-
lishments, walk in its nurseries and gardens,
and then he may to some extent realize what
an enterprising people can accomplish in
half a century, upon a prodflcrive soil, under
the smiles of a bountiful providence.

It has not iuaptly been styled a city of foli-
age and flowers, though its Dona fide soubri-
quet is the “ Flour City.” Ornamental trees
are cultivated with care, and the growth of
fruit trees in the town and adjacent country
is extensive. Here are the great Nurseries
of the American Continent. Thousands of
acres within five miles of Rochester, are de-
voted to the culture of fruit trees and orna-
mental shrubs, and millions of trees are an-
nually sent abrOad to distant Counties, States,
and even to foreign countries. The annual
product of the Nurseries is valued at $2,000,-
000.

Rochester is a modern town, having risen
from a wilderness in less than half a century.
It has now a population of over' sixty thou-
sand. Here the waters of the Genesee, in
their crimes northward form the Allegheny
Hills, and make their last leap ere they lose
themselves in the basin of Lake Ontario.
There are four distinct cataracts within a
a distance of two miles, the total fall being
about two hundred and fifty feet. It will be
remembered that it was over one of these
falls “Sam Patch” made his last leap. Sit-
uawd in the centre of the, most fertile region

-. in New York State surrounded with a popu-

 

; not strange that Rochester is a flourishing
= city. The wealth that her citizens have ac-

cumulated has not been boarded, but have

? been lavishly bestowed, so as to add to the

beauty of the town and enhance the com-

‘ fort of the people.

.There are nearly forty miles of improved
streets, including many finely paved with
stone. There are thirty-five miles of excel-
lent sewerage; nearly two thousand street
Gaslamps, a dozen spacious Parks, four ele-
gant Bridges over the Genesee, including
one of Cut Stone, costing nearly $100,000,

,upon which are fine blocks of brick stores ;
and there are many handsome Public Build-

ings. The Court House and City Hall cost
$80,000, is a splendid building and an orna-
uament to the city, there are eighteen Pub-
lic School Houses some of which cost $15,-
000 each, fifty Churches the best of which
cost $70,000. The University of Rochester,
a popular College, is situated in the eastern
part of the city, and can be seen from the
train as you approach. -

The Western House of Refuge,a State

Reform School for Boys, is situated in the
northern part of the city, and the immense
pile of buildings can be seen as you pass out
of the city on the Niagara Falls Road. There
are two large Hospitals, one under the man-
agement of the Sisters of Charity, the other
a city Institution. A line of street Railways.
twenty miles in length is in full and abscess-
ful operation. Five sections of the New
York Central Railroad converge in the city.
The Mercantile Business is considerable, as
half a million of people are within two
hours ride by rail of the city.

Mt. Hope Cemetery, in the south part of
the city, is an object of local pride, and is
visited annually by thousands of strangers.
The cemetery contains about one hundred
and sixty acres of hill and dale, thickly
studded with forest trees, and beantified by
the expenditure of many thousands of dol-
lars in makingits winding paths, towering
monuments, massive tombs, and. grassy
mounds; pleasing to the eye and becoming
to the "city of the dead." Mt. Hope has‘not
received that lavish expenditure of wealth
bestowed upon Mt. Auburn or Greenwood,
but its natural advantages vastly excell both.

The Erie Canal divides the city near its
business centre, and crosses the Genesee by
an aqueduct of cut stone, which cost the
State more than six hundred thousand dol-
lars to build. Anna.

The New Bum.

The monster iron-clad ram Dunderberg,
was launched in New York, on Saturday
week. She is the largest craft of the kind
afloat, and could probably sink any vessel
that she could strike with her beak. Her
length is 380 feet; her tonnage 5000; pier-
ced for 21 guns, and 3 15 inch Rodman’s.
Her beak is 50 feet in length, of solid timber,
and shod with steel, and will penetrate what-
ever it hits. When ready for sea, the Dun-
derberg will draw 21 feet of water. Her iron
plates weigh 1,000 tons. Her two cylinders
are each 100 inches, and her propeller is 21
feet in diameter, weighing 17 tons, stroke of
pistons 45 inches, depth of boilers 13 feet,
height 17 1-2 feet, and there are six of them,
with two donkeys; weight of boilers 420
tons, 30,000 feet of surface.

She is plated with the best of wrought iron,
the plates being 3 1-2 inches in thickness, 15
feet long, and 3 feet wide, set vertically, fast-
ened by 1 1-2 inch screw bolts; the plates
that cover the easements are 4 1-2 inches
thick. The English iron-clad “Warrior,"
and the French “Glory,” are no match for
the Dunderberg. Her cost is a million and
a half of dollars- ~ . ~

Passengers on the John Romer can get a
very good view of the vessel, which lies near
the fort of 12th Street, East River, and also
of several Monitors and other Naval vessels
at‘the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

E'James Gordon Bennett, of the New

The lot ’56 feet _:by- 100, and was sold for
the enormous .price of $650,000. Barnum

WThe ‘Hartfordpeople have been pre-
senting Gen. JosimhR Hewley with a mag-
nificent sword, valued $1150. It is believed
there are but three richer swords in the coun-
try, one of which was given to Gen. Hook-
or) by citizens of California. Gen. Hawley
is now in Richmond; acting as Chief of Staff
for Gen. Terry. :.

Q‘Lieut-Gen‘. Grant, accompanied by
his wife and several members of his personal
staff, is ofl'on a tfip,td}he North, and intends
it is said, visiting Montreal, Niagara Falls,
Saratoga, &c., returning to Washington in
about a month.' He" passed through New
York on Tuesday last, and took passage to
Albany on the day boat. The party arrived
in Boston, in a specihl_:;train of two cars, on
Saturdav evening, and were met at the de-
pot by a large crowd, and of course received
an enthusiastic welcome. On sunday the
General attended thefl'o'id South Church, and
dined with Gov. Andrew. It is useless for
him to attempt to make a “quiet trip,” for
the people will “lionize” him.

“Not my Will, but thine be
Done."
How shall I yield thee, little one ;
How shall I give thee up?
Death’s icy hand is on thy brow ;
Oh, Father l hide the cup !

This little life that flutters here,
This baby lip I press to mine;

Thou know’st my God, Thy gift is dear,
Yet blessed be thy will divine.

If ’tis thy will to call him up,

My struggling soul shall yield to Thee,
I’ll take, I'll drink the bitter cup;

But, Father ! help and pity me.

He's like an angel sweet and fair;
His tiny hand lies in my breast ;

His rosy face is nestled there,
And with him in my arms I rest.

Oh, Death ! refuse to break my heart,
Touch not this dear, this little one ;
With flying wing from him depart ;
And yet, oh, God ? Thy will be done.

Hair Invigorator.

-—-——~-<o»~———

 

Mas. Panrmorox Hartman—The White Moun-
tains of New Hampshire are evidently a great insti-
tution—very high, heavy frosts, beautiful view, four
dollar dinners. But the practical eye of a certain
renowned Drake, saw those smooth-faced rocks, and
thereupon adorned and vurigated the bridle path to
the Tip top House with his familiar S. T.—1860-—X.
PLANTATION Br-r'rnns. This raised the ire of the
Mrs. Partingtons composing the Legislature of the
Granite State, who got their wise heads together,
outlawed Dr. Drake, and make it a penal offence to
ply the artistic brush on their beloved hills. Verify
the flue arts are at a discount in New Hampshire.
Query,-—Did Drake pay them for this splendid ad-
vertisement? '- Q, ~

Warren’s Improved Felt, Ce-
ment and Gravel Roofing.

Decidedly the best, most durable and
cheapest known in this country. Materials
which are liable to be confounded with
this have long been in use for coverin
factories and barns, &c., but never unti
this recent discovery has any kind of Ce-
ment Roofing been used for our best resi-
dences. The combinations of this roofing
are such as to render it perfectly water-
proof; makes solid, handsome work, is a
very great saving of at least 25 per cent
over any other roofing in use.

C. W. Lockwood is sole agent for Fair-
