The President’s Message. __ Owing to the length of the message and crowded state of our columns, we found it . litipossible topublish it entire in our own paper-Jud have therefore been at the ex- " penseof obtaining copies of the document which we send out with this week’s paper. Subscribers not receiving cepiegand desirous ofobtainirg them,csn do so by calling at this oflce. . .» ,2 j j jinn New Congress. The most important, and fortunately the m'OFt' ‘able Congress which has convened slice the “first Continental assemblage, has justcommenced its session at Washington. Questions Of‘the gravest importance are to be considered'and acted upon. which are to affect the great future of this Republic for weal or for woe. There is much promisein the fact, however, that no . previous congress has been filled with a 1 more able or‘incorruptible body of patriotic , men. . Theaugust questions with which they auto cope, will be met with an ability ‘and , fidelity which presages the happiest results .for the American people. There is little cause of apprehension that however radical ”this congress may prove in its dealings with the authors of the rebellion, there will be any serious want of harmony between the‘ legislative and executive Departments of the Government. The President wants to do the but tbingfor the whole country. No manwho has yet met him, doubts the fact. There will be difierences of opinion among memberaand extreme and conservative prin- ciples enunciated, but when it comes to action the welfare of the country and greatest good goal], will be the controlling sentiment and rule of conduct of the majority in _the 39th Congress. . ‘ —-——--o»~——-—-— Gen. Grant’s Report. This document, which we present in full in an extra sheet with the present issue, will attract the attention of the civilized world to a greater extent than any other of the state papers which are published along with it. It is in fact ahistory oi the last year of the war of the Rebellion, written by one who had better opportunities for assurance of the facts whereof he writes than any other living man. The tone of the report is admirable. Without parade or afi‘ectation, the Lieuten- ant General recounts the achievements of armies, amounting in the aggregate to a mill- ion men, over territories more extensive than the theatre of the wars of Napoleon, and with results unsurpassed by those of Auster- litz, J eno, or Waterloo. The combinations out of which these results flowed are clearly portrayed, and exhibit an amount of milita- rycapacity, which will, in future times, place the name of Gen. Grant side by side, with those of the greatest captains of history_ The report opens with the assumptions of command by Gen. Grant, and closes with the overthrow of the Rebellion. The three principal armies, whose movements it nar- rates, are those of Meade, Sherman, and Thomas, and we see how each under the di- rection of one controlling mind, was made to cooperate with the others in securing the final result. The story is told without pa- rade or comment even, and the fullest meas- ure of justice is given to all subordinate com- manders. The reputation of Gen. Sherman, for example, will be enhanced by the report while that of Gen. Butler is left collapsed: like a punctured bladder. Few of. our people have been aware of the real magnitude Of the strife for the twelve- months before its close, and of the debt of gratitude which the nation owes to its in- domitable defenders. port to careful perusal. . e‘.>-. VARIOUS MATTERS.—The new instruments for the Brass Band are being made by Gil. more Graves, do 00., of Boston, and will be ready in about two weeks. They will prob. ably be the best set of instruments in the State The Band has been named the “ Locxwoon BAND,” in honor of the generous donor of the instruments, and it will be Le Grand Band in time, we have no doubt. Remember that the annual meeting of the Agricultural Society comes off at Lockwood's Hall, on the 20th inst. Are our farmers pre- paring for it ? The Board of Relief for this town, will meet at the N orwalk Hotel on the first Monday in Januarynext. The interest on the Bonds of the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad, due Jan. lat, will be paid at theDanbury National Bank. The annual meeting of the Stockholders Of the First National Bank of South Norwalk, will be held on the second Tuesday of J anu- ary. The children of the First Congregational ~ and Second Methodist churches, held a un- ion Shnday School Concert, at the Congre- gational Church, on Sunday evening last.— Addresses were made by Rev. Henry Clay Trumbull, late chaplain of the 10th Conn. Vet.Vols., and now Sunday School Mission- ary,-aad by Dr. A. Hill and Rev. 8. B. S. Bissell,and prayers were offered by Rev. S. H. Smith and Rev. Mr. Raymond. Mr. E. C. Bissell presided. A good meeting—may it pass into example. The Stamford Nine refused to accept the challenge of the Norwalk boys to play a re- turn‘lmatch of Base Ball, in this town, on Thanksgiving 'Day. The weather would have‘pre'vented the game, however, if they had accepted. WILDMAN COUCH, the horse thief recently captured by oflicer Bartram, was brought into ,town on Saturday last and taken' to Westport, where he was examined by J us- tice Finch and held to bail in the sum of $500-._—.the value of the property last stolen.

The relatives and friends of the family, also the members Of 17th Reg. 0. V., are respectlully invited to attend. We are also requested to invite the Fire- men of Norwalk, to join with the Pioneer Hook& Ladder 00., and attend the funeral, the deceased having long been a member of the Fire Department, and a former Foiemun of the Hook do Ladder 00.. We learn that the Masonic Lodge will at- , tend the funeral in a body, and that the ' Military COmpanies-will perform escort duty.‘ «<0» Steamboat. What is to be done about a Steamboat for this route next Spring ? Our citizens ought to hold a meeting, form a joint-Stock compa- ny, and buy or build a first-class Boat, and not depend upon some steamboat man in New York to do so. A good Boat will pay well, and should be owned and controlled by our own citizens. Who will move in the matter? P. S.—We are just informed, on reliable authority, that Mr. R. Cornell White, of New York, is now building a Steamer expressly for this route, which willbe put on the com- ing Spring, under the management of Mr. Stephenw. Monk, a gentleman who made hosts Of friends here in years gone by while acting as clerk of Steamers on this route. Mr. White is well acqainted with the route and our needs. ' l ---.-..___.., SUPPER—The Methodist ladies are prepar- ing for their annual Slipper,which is to come off at Norwalk Hall, on 'the 20th inst, and the public in general may prepare for a tip- top supper and a good time generally on that interesting occasion. —o..-s¢—... _____ THANKSGIVING DAv.—Thanksgiving in December seemed out of place. The day was ushered in by a disagreeable snow storm, and the weather continued unpleasant, put- ping a damper on all plans for out-Of-door recrea tions, and causing the services at church to be thinly attended, and our streets to look deserted, notwithstanding the large numbers who came “home” to Spend the day. «so». PRESENTATION—A happy afi'air came 011 at the Norwalk Mills, in Winnipauk, on Sat urday night week. Mr. Hiram Green, Arch- itect of the Mills,having completed his work, and being on the eve of departure, was “sur- iprised” and presented with a valuable Gold Chain, by the overseers of the Mills, as a token of their appreciation and esteem. Mr. Jessie Pollard, made the presentation speech in behalf of the overseers. 1‘.»- mg‘Hon. Schuyler Colfax, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has engaged to deliver his lecture “Across the Con ti- nent,”in Brooklyn and several New England Cities, during the Holiday adjournment Of Congress. He is to receive $250 for his lec- ture in Brooklyn. He will probably deliver the lecture in Norwalk sometime during the present winter. — «Optww WThe New York dailies are in a' thriv- ing condition. The Times has enlarged to the size of the London Times, and is now the largest daily in America. The Herald and Tribune print triple sheets once or twice a week,~and give more reading matter than the enlarged limes. Both the Tribune and Herald will probably soon be enlarged on account of their increasing advertising pat- ronage. ~<0>~ BUSINESS CHANGE—As will be seen by advertisement, Messrs. MORRIS & DUTY, Dry Goods Merchants, Gazette Building, have sold out to Messrs. VAN HOOSEAR & AMBLER. Messrs. Morris and Doty have made hosts of friends during their six years residence in this place, who will be sorry to part with them, put will wish them good success in any new enterprise they may undertake. Messrs. Van Hoosenr and Ambler have grown up in the Dry Goods Business in Nor- walk, and are so well and favorably known that they need from us no commendation. They have now a splendid store, well locat- (d, and by enterprise and fair dealing will merit and win success. Messrs. Morris & Doty have not dissolved partnership, but will continue in business to- gether in some other place. Success to them wherever they wander. <‘.>n Amusements. There is to be no lack Of- amusements the present week. To-night, (Monday) John G. Saxe, the famous Poet. is to deliver his new Poem, “Love," at Lockwood’s Hall, when it will be demonstrated how many there are in Norwalk who appreciate and will encourage a purely literary entertainment. Tuesday night the iovers of music and fun will crowd Norwalk Hall, to hear the famous Duprez do Benedict’s Minstrels, which troupe has grown to be one of the largest and best in the country under the able management of “the great advertiser” Charles H. Duprcz who is now acknowledged to be the “model manager. On Wednesday night, the New York Combination Company, under the manage- ment of Prof. D. F. Fox, who has been so successful in this vicinity with Children’s Concerts, will give one entertainment at Lockwood‘s Hall. The performances will be varied, and include ballad Singing, danc- ing comicalitics, laughable farccs, &c. The Prof. says he has got a good company, and will do his best to please. . On Friday night,—Phoenix Ball. Monday evening next there is to be anoth- er Poem, at Lockwood’s Hall, by Dr. J. G. Holland,—better known, perhaps, by the name Of “ Timothy Titcomb,”—thc distin- guished author of “ Bitter Sweet,” “ The Life of Abraham Lincoln" and other popular 'works. His subject is “Jonathan at School. ” We trust our citizens of culture and refine- ment will attend this lecture, and encourage the committee to engage other firstc-lass lec- turers, and also to show that Minstrels are not the only entertainments Norwalk people will support. The lecture committee are anxious to engage the best talent to be had. and to put the price of admission as low as the expenses will warrant. If 600 peOple would turn out to the lectures, instead of 200, theadmission could be reduced at least one- half. “Q>*®-* WThe Gas Co. have left the street and sidewalk near the Bridge in a bad condition ‘ for an unnecessarylcngth of time.

Massns. EDITORS :- - The order for the Muster out of Service, of the 8th Conn. Vet. Vols. has finally made its appearance as official. If you recollect,there is a Company in the organization from Nor- walk, organized by the late~Lt.-Col. Fowler; he was once our noble Captain, and men nev- er loved a commander as this company lov- ed him, and out of respect to him and his friends they will return to Norwalk, as an organization, under Lt. Samuel L. Lord,now in command of the Company. There are fifteen men of the original Co. left out of the one hundred which marched out of N OIWalk With Capt Fowler in September 1861. This Company musters seventeen hard fought Battles, and have always proved themselves equal to the test and expectation of their Of— ficers. Yours Respectfully, Sergeant of Co. H. 8th 0. V. «.D-0 A PLEASANT AFFAIR—0n Tuesday last some of the commuters on the N. Y. do N. H. R R, and a few others who are in the habit Of riding on the 3 O’clock P.M. Express train, presented Mr. Wm. Baus h, with an elegant silver tea-set, together with a purse of money, being the proceeds of a free-will subscription started by a commuter of Nor- walk, and generOusly responded to by some Of the most respectable commuters on the Road—Stamford and Norwalk, however contributing the largest portion; next comes Bridgeport, Westport, Stratford, New Haven New York, and one from Wolcottville. The affair came ed in a special car attach- ed to the 3 o’clock P. M. train, which was placed at the disposal Of the commuters by Mr. J. H. Hoyt, Supt. of the Road, and the presentation was made by Mr. James D. Smith of Stamford, in a very happy and appropriate speech, which was responded to by Mr. Baush in a modest and feeling man- ner. Speeches were also made by several other gentlemen amongst about sixty of the contributors who were present, and conclu- ding with three hearty cheers for the popu- lar recipient. Our friend of the Advocate claims that Stamford takes the lead in this matter. but in proportion to the number Of commuters travelling on that truin,Norwalk is far ahead of them, while little Westport takes the lead of all. >-————»———-o l‘b»: NEW YORK ELECTION—The Charter election In New York,last Tuesday, resulted in the choice of Mr. Hoffman, for Mayor.

A four page supplement was presented to their subscribers on Tues- day, and again on Thursday. On Wednes- day, an eight page supplement was given, containing 48 columns of Public Documents, set in small type, solid. This one supple- ment, we find, contains as many words as an ordinary 8 v0. book of.400 pages. It is astonishing how such a suppliment to the regular Daily could have been set up, and the thousands of copies printed and distribu ted to subscribers in the Short time taken for this work.

ATTEMPT TO ROB THE STATE TREASURY. We learn from the Hartford Poet that a most daring attempt has just been made to rob the State Treasury The principal lock and the doors on the largest safe in the treas- ury office have been found so much dam- aged by burglarious instruments that they have been sent to New York to be repaired. Who the burglars are is a mystery. A large amount in State Bonds were in the safe in question.

While Mr. Penny, the ticket agent at that Station was engaged in counting the money, at the desk, some one approached him from the rear and dealt him several heavy blows on the head, felling him to the floor. The villian grabbed the mon- ey and made off withit, without molestation, as Mr. Penny lay helpless on the floor. and could not raise his hand to prevent it. The amount stolen is $6,900. Nothing has 31-! been heard of the. man. We undurstand that Mr. Penny, is lying in a very critical condition. A reward of $1,000 is offered for tne arrest and conviction Of the thief.

The “gold- en hair’d son" of the Sky, never ushered in a lovelier winter day. The wind even,nestled in the sunny chambers of the South. The attendance was large. Stamford’s loveliest maiden’s and women, sweet as the breath of morn, filled with the noblest graces, so ’ perfect, so peerless, gave their countenance to the brave boys, who were to contest for the victor’s spoils. The clergy, the press,thc bar, medicine, tradesmen, mechanics and farmers, were in full force to enjoy the pleas- ant and innocent sport. Like the day, there was no jar in the game.» nothing to mar the beauty of the scene. The players were man- ly earnest and gentlmanly, and members Of the club studiously polite to the guests of the occasion. The Stamford» Nine bore off the honors, easily and proudly.

THE “Cos COB” DISASTEa.—The_ Coroner’s jury in the case of Horace Wildman, who lost his life by a collision oi trains near Cos Cob, Connecticut, have found that “said col— lision was caused by Erastus Lyman, engi- neer and conductor on the milk train,in pass- ing Stamford for the bridge without receiv- ing proper orders; but that such error was committed as conductor, in which capacity he was then acting, rather than engineer." But a part of the jurors dissented from this verdict, and found, instead, that “ said colli- sion resulted from a misunderstanding of verbal instructions, in the absence of written orders." .<.-. Incident ofthe N unification War. , ' The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press relates the following: A few days ago I met an old soldier who was one of» the garrison at Fort Moultrie during the Nullification war. Then, not only Forts Moultrie and Sumter, but also Castle Pinckney, were in possession of the United States troops. Besides several men- of-war werein the harbor lying under the guns of the forts. General Scott was the commander Of all the forces. My informant belonged to the company .Of Captain Ring- 'gold, who afterwards fella hero on the battle-fields of Mexico, narrated to me the. following touching incident Of that memo- riable and unfortunate rebellion,whicb I will give in his own words: “One night,” he said, “we perceived the whole horizon over the city of Charleston painted with a gloomy red which increased in brightness every min- ute. At first we believed the Nullifiers were amusing themselves with large bonfires, but when the skies grew redder and redder, it became apparent that the city was on fire.— Whilsl standing and quietly looking, we were aroused from our reveries by the and- den arrival Of Captain Ringgold, who imme- diately ordered the company to fall into line without. arms, and march to the landing.— Unfortunately, however the tide was very low, and the boat lying Ligh and dry. He jumped into the boat and ordered us to carry it into the water, which we did. We then started in the greatest hurry, passing various United States vessels and posts, who on bail- ing us, received an answer: ‘Captain Ringgold’s company going to the rescue of Charleston.’ ‘Pass on,’ was the sole reply. When near the city, the captain gave strict orders to be'as quiet as possible, that We might not be heard ; for he did not trust the Charlestonians, as, only a short time before vthey'had driven a United States company out of town, which then had gone to Castle Piuckney. The whurves, however, were forsaken, and not a man visrblc. We mar- chedin the direction of the fire, and soon came on one Of the squares where the fire was. Alnrge number of people were pres- ent, who immediately surrounded us. See» ing us without arms, and suspecting the purpose of our coming, they immediately ave vent to the most boisterous hurrahs for ncle Sam‘s soldiers. Captain Ringgold ap- proachedonc ofthe foreman of the fire. eu- gineS, asking him as his men were probably fatigued, to ct his soldiers WQI'K, which re- qucst was immediately complied with. , We Worked as hard as we could until four o’clock in the morning. The inhabitants, soon after we commenced workingi'sent us large quantities of refrshfnents. . he dan- 'ger being over, Captai ‘ Rin goldgordered us to leave, and we marche down to the wharves. But beforewe could get there,‘ we were stopped by a crowd of gentlemen, who insisted that we should follow them to an adjoming restaurant, where the tables were spread with the best things that could be had. We then left under the cheers of the assembled multitude. Thus did our for- ces fight 1he Churlestonlans. The Old soldier,whcnhe had closed, wiped his eyes. His patriotic heart remembered olden times, when the same demon of Dis- union, but less fearful than now, threatente‘n to destroy our glorious Union He was then a young man—he is gray now. “But,” said he, “in spite of all that,I would, ever. now, if England or any other foreign nation should threaten South Carolina, shoulder the musket again, and march to her rescue.

The principal facts- which were stated in the letter are here-re- peated more substantially, and the con versa- tion of the Innuits given at greater length. These In nuits represent their sorcerers as having bewitched the place Where the ships lay ice bound,so that no beast would come near, and at last the men were Olfliged to leave them. Definite and frequent informa- tion of the rescue of Crozier and three other men was obtained, and it was learned that the Innuits generally supposed three of the men to be still alive.

The possibility, if not the probability Of discovering some fur. ther traces of these men,prcvented from re- turning south ward by the almost insurmountv able difficulties consequent upon the endless winter, is thus rendered credible. N.» THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN RUSSIA.—-TIIe Secretary of State has received a letter from Minister Clay, dated at St. Petersburg, Oct. 29, 1865. AS some attempts are made to deny the existence of the cattle plague in Russia, he quotes extracts from the Russian Gazette, of Moscow, in proof of the fact. N O attempt is made to arrest the plague, the su- perstitious people regarding such an effort a sin. Some of the large villages scarcely re- tain one-tenth of their original number.— Cattle have perished by hundreds and sheep by thousands. The description of the cat- tle plague does does not answer to that of the one raging in England in all respects; but climate and other surroundings greatly l dhange the symptoms and character of the same disease, as is well knOwn, and notwith- standing the denial of the Russian authori- ties, who are much interested in the export of cattle, fallow, hides and wool. Minister Clay is "still Of the decided opinion that the disease was carried from the Baltic Russian ports to England. +—»—«oo+co-— v» FACTS ABOUT MILK—Cream cannot rise through agreat depth of milk. If, therefore milk is desired to retain its cream for a time, it should be put into a deep narrow dish; and if it be desired to free it most completely of cream, it should be put into a broad Shallow dish, not much exceeding one inch in depth. The evolving of cream is facilitated by a rise and retarded by a fall of temperature. At the usual temperature Of the diary, fifty de- grees Fahrenheit, all the cream would prob- ably arise in thirty-six hours; but at seven- ty degrees, it will probably rise in half that time, and when the milk is kept near the freezing point, the cream will rise very slo w- ly, because it becomes solidified. In wet and cold weather milk is less rich than in dry and warm. The seasons has its effects. The milk in spring is supposed to,be the best for drinking, and hence it would be best for calves; in summer it is best for cheese; and in autumn, the butter keeping better than that ofsummer. The cows less frequently milked give richer milk, and consequently more butter. The morning’s milk is richer than that of the evening. The last drawn milk, the “strippings” at each milking, and at all times and seasons, is richer than that first milked, which is ever the-poorest. -———oo—~.>e WThe commissioner of internal reve- nue has decided that the amount Of stamp duty on a deed Of trust or mortgage given by the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company to John R. Penn. trustee of the city Of New York, banker, in answer to an inquiry if $1,000 to internal revenue stamps was sufficient to cover the same, the cube amount of the mortgage being . $30,000,000, that it would require internal ' revenue stamps to the amount of $30,000; and if said stamps were not affixed thereto the bonds of said railway company, 60,000 ’in number, at $500 each, would be invalid. This is the largest amount of stamps ever afllxed to any legal document, the next lar- gest amount being $27,000. — c<.>u WClothing, read made and to order in every variety, at . B.
