THE CONVENTION.
Four hundred and five Delegates of the
’ Republican. party of Connecticut assembled
. ‘ at Hartford on Wednesday last, to organize
for the approaching election. It was the
largest Convention that has been gathered in
this State for many years. In the experi-
ence, wisdom .and ability-of its members, it
‘Wasthestrongest that we have ever seen in
» this commonwealth. .
. . :, As was to be expected of such a body of
men, all obstacles to harmonious action were
swept out of the way, and the path to victory
cleamd. The resolutions do justice to the:
patriotic record of the President and to the
integrity and sagaeity of Congress, and ex-
. press in unmistakable terms the intention
of the people of Connecticut to demand and
receive of the communities lately in revolt
ample securities for good conduct before ad-
mitting them to a share in the government
of the Republic.
,Of the candidates nominated by the Con-
vention there are no discordant opinions.
Theticket is-unusually‘strong. Gen. HAW-
LEY is well known throughout the greater
part of the State as an able advocate of Re-
publican principles before the war, and a
soldier always faithful to duty from the be-
.ginningto the end of the recent contest.
The other candidates are men of well known
honorable standing, and the people are
ready now to go to work with a will and
secure their election.
«Q»
. Mal. Gen. Wm. T. Clark.
A friend makes the timely suggestion, that
inasmuch as Gen. Clark has been mustered
out of service and is on his way to his home
here inNo'rwalk, wesnould honor him with
some show of appreciation for the honorable
renown he has fairly won in the field.
Flyhlt'ng his way up from the ranks to the
high position of a Major General, without,
and indeed in spite of political aid, we think
thisNorwalk boy should receive some fit-
tingreeognition onhis arrival home, from
Our Citizens. They certainly have the
heart and spirit to do the handsome thing,
and we urge the matter upon their consid-
eration.

BEAUTlEs OF TELEGRAPHING.—The pa-
pers generally are announcing a great reduc-
tiOn of prices in telegraphing by the Ameri-
‘ can Telegraph Company—they hpving re-
duced the price for ten words, between New
York, New Haven and Hartford, from 40
to 20 cents. This is all very well, and no
doubt pays them, but the public are indebt-
ed for this reduction to the fact of there be
ing first at present much competition in the
business, one or two new lines having re-
cently been opened. Meanwhile the liberal
managers make the way stations on their
line pay for this reduction to the citizens of
the large cities by adhering to the Old tarifi‘,
and thus compelling the residents of small
towhs‘ and villages to pay double. For in-
stanbef a person in New York or, New Ha-
ven can telegraph ten words to either place
for 20 cents, while a person in Norwalk,
midway between the two, 'wishing to tele-
graph either way, is charged 40 cents. This
very unequal and unjust rate might be borne
with some degree of patience if there was a
surety that messages to or from intermediate
stations would in a reasonable time—time
enough to be of any use—reach their desti-.
nation; but alas! the probabilities are against
it. We endeavored one evening last week
tO send a message'from New Haven to Nor-
walk, and the operator, after trying his ma-
chine, calling Norwalk and taking 40 cents
. from us,-(Which he pleasantly informed us
was double what it would cost to send it to
New York,) told us he could get it through
, that evening, (it was of no use unless he did,)
but by some hocus-pocus it did not reach its
destination here until about 10 o‘clock the
next morning. Now this '1: tlpl an isolated
case, if it were we should not we mentioned
it—it is oPalmost daily occurrence wherever
the telegraph extends, and we contend that
the managers should see to it that all messa~
ges entrusted to their line should receive
prompt transmission to the parties indicated
in their address. Then the telegraph would
be of incalculable benefit, and the public
would willingly and cheerfully pay for the
work. done; but to take pay at exorbitant
rates and then-delay the transmission so long
that the messages are really dead and of no
use .when‘received, is an imposition, and
calls for an earnest protest from the public
at large. -

The Wants of" Norwalk.
MEssns. EDITORS :——Yes, this is the theme.
Having submitted a plan for beautifying and
improving our harbor and navigation, I
would venture still further, with your per- ,
mission. I
You remark—“ A gentleman suggests the
organizing of a joint stock Improvement
Association.” This is a good idea, or would
be if lands to improve and build upon could ,
be had for any reasonable price. With land,
labor, and every material at famine prices,
there is little inducement or encouragement
at the present moment.
I will, however, make one further sugges-
tion, based on the idea that my first should
be carried out, and I hope the property-
holders will see their interest in selling lots,
or in building houses or cottages to rent.
We will suppose, on the east side of such
pond as suggested, the highlands to be gra-
ded, a good wide road made, and the ground,
say 100 feet deep, to be laid out for building
lots—each lot.50 by 100 feet—and the price
such that men of small means might buy and
build, or the Association to buy, build and
rent at a reasonable rate. Five hundred
handsome cottages could be built on the east
side of the harbor, or one thousand on both.
These would be not only pleasant but at-
tractive, beautiful and healthy. These with
some manufactory-say one for cotton and
one for wool, locatetwt each end of such
dam—would furnish occupants for such cot-
tages and employment .for the inmates.
Here is room for enterprise and investment
that would pay.
The past week, for the first time, I visited
the new factory for the manufacture of cas-
simercs. There is a pile that shows enter-
prise. The buildings are large, and of stone.
Yet, to supply such mill with the raw mate.
rial, and to transport the goods to the Point
for shipment, requires annually as considera-
ble expensc— an expense tllat'would amount
to a handsome addition to the dividend,
were such mill at tidewater. It is not rich
men coming in that builds up a town, whose
capital is invested in other parts or places.
Mechanics and operatives of all classes——
these bring in and distribute money.
In an Association to carry out such an en-
terprise, I would take an interest to the
amount of ten per cent. Of all my income.
Or make a stock in shares of ten dollars
each, I will take, to begin, one hundred
shares of such stock. There are men
enough, if willing to invest in like propor-
tion to their ability, to-take the total amount
that might be]required,b efore a week should
pass. . I
Some may perhaps think a manufactory
cannot be worked by water dependent upon
the tides. Let us see. Ten hours is now
the system or ratio of time for a day’s work.
Well, this may be had by an hour or two in
the morning or evening, earlier or later; and
if Turbine wheels are used, the ebb and flow
of the tide would be of-little account. Most
of our manufactories are compelled to put in
steam powerlo enable them to run in time
of drouth.
I notice that some parties have erected a
mill for manufacturing cotton battings at
Darien, at what used to be known as King’s
End Landing. Here was a tide mill. The
pond was sufficient, and still is, for the man-
ufacturing of battings. I rejoice to see so
much enterprise in that little town, and hope
it may spur us up to make some effort while
all around us appear to' be putting forth
their energies and growing with the require-
ments of the times. .
NOW there is no more favored locality .be-
tween New York and Boston than this same
Old town Of Norwalk,‘and the men and the
means are here also. ' But Old Fogyism has
been so long rampant that Young America
can not raise its head. Now, Messrs, lend a
hand, and let us see if the right passengers
can’t be waked up before they pass from
time. Please put a shoulder to the wheel
and keep it rolling. ‘ R
How IS IT'?—Tlle principalstrengtli of
the Democracy in this State is the Fenian
vote, and the Democracy are naturally bit-
ter against everything British, but now they
are running an English man as candidate for

PARADISE LOST AT THE BROOKLYN ATHEN-
zEUM is still receiving the liberal patronage
its merit deserves. Matinees for ladies and
children will be given, when children will
be admitted fcr the small sum of ten cents.
At the last Saturday afternoon matinee, the
audience (consisting‘Of ladies and children)
was the largest ever assembled inside the
Athenaeum. The appearance of the 1200
beautiful andmeatly dressed children reflect-
ed great'credit on their respective parents,
and was alone worth double the price of ad-
mission to the entertainment, which is one
of the most pleasing and moral exhibitions
we have had here for many months.

WThe long talked of Naval race between
the Winooski and the Algonquin, to test the
relative merits of the Isberwood and Dicker-
son Engines, came off last week in the
. Sound. The vessels started on Tuesday last
from Execution Light, and passed through
the Sound and around Faulkner's Island, re-
peating the trip several tim'es until they were
compelled to anchor Wednesday night by
the storm. The Winooski beat the Algon-
quin “out of sight” easily, demonstrating the
success of Isherwood and confirming the
opinion of many that Mr. Dickerson was
simply a great braggart. I
Col. Dexter B. Wright was appointed
temporary chairman.
Geo. E. Terry, of Waterbury, Wm. T. El-
mer, of Middlebury, E. J. 'Alvord, of' Nor-
folk, and F. A. Drake, of Guilford, were ap-
pointed temporary secretaries.
A committee of one from each county was
.appointed on credentials, as follows:

General Pratt called attention to the fact
that the several committees are empowered
to choose their own chairman, independent
of the order in which the appointments were
made. ‘
Mr. Ives, of East Haven, said while the
convention was waiting, he wished to call
attention to an important fact. Mr. Ban-
croft, in his late beautiful oration, mentions
seven names of men ' who distinguished
themselves and died during the late war.
Of'these seven, four wel'e Connecticut men—
Lyon, Sedgwick, FootIe and Ward—and in
addition, there was a fifth, Wadsworth,
whose namebelongs to Connecticut. Thus,
inadvertently, the historian has paid us the
highest compliment we could desire. '
Mr. John F. Trumbull, of Stonington, was
called out and made a characteristic speech,
which left the convention in good humor.
Hon. John T. Adams, of Norwich, was in-
vited to address the convention, which he
did in a forcible manner. .
Hon. W. K. Peck, of Norfolk, also made a
telling speech. -

Mr. Sperry said the town Of Portland, ac-

the flag to one of the representatives from

becn'controlled in years past by the enemy,
and said, “You, Union men of Portland,
plucked the-town from northern tories at a
time most: fortunate for your reputation.”

General Hawley here appeared and was

It was some minutes before General Haw-
ley was permitted to speak, so prolonged
was the cheering and shouting. Finally
when the convention became still he spoke
substantially as follows : ..
Mr. President and Elwin-Citizens: I am
profoundly sensible of the great honor you

The extinction of the doctrines Of secession ;

Mr. Babcock said these resolutions Were
from the committee; and while they should
temporarily lie upon the table he would in-
troduce another which he had no doubt
would be endorsed. He then read as follows :
i Resolved, That our allant fellow citizen,
Maj. Gen. Alfred H. erry, the hero of Fort
Fisher, has commended himself anew to our
confidence and admiration by his recent or-
der for the protection of the Freedmen of
Virginia against the unjust and tyranical leg-
islation of that State; which order having
been approved by the executive of the na-
tion, we feel assured that justice will be ren-
dered to the otherwise defenseless people of
all classes, so that every man, of every State
may be proud tosay at all times and in all
places, “I am an American citizen."
The resolutions of the committee were
adopted unanimously, amid applause, and
the other resolution was then taken up and
also adopted, unanimously, six cheers being
given for Gen. Terry.
Three cheers were given, on the call of
General Pratt, “for that glorious Old hero,
Andrew Johnson,” and they made the hall
ring. ' I

‘ Remarkable Exllsltlon in
Norwalk this Week.
Inian TablealixTOfParI‘adis'e Lost,” from Lon-
don, Engla'nd, ‘Whére it Was exhibited for
280 consecutive night‘s’t'o‘ over half‘a million
of people, Will visit this place this week, and
be shown at Lockwood’s Hall for a short
time, the same as exhibited for 30 ‘ nights in
Brooklyn, at the Atheneum, commencing on
Monday evening Of this 'Week. Wecopy
the following description of. this exhibition
from the London Times: ‘ -
“This reat work of art was gotten up in
,LondOD, nglanId, at the expense of of $60,-
000, and is a complete illustration of John
Milton’s immortal poem entitled “ Paradise
Lost,” and carrying out- his ideas of Heaven,
Hell, Chaos, and Paradise. Showing ithe
Rebellion of Satan, the War Of the Angels,
the fallof Satan, and the fall of Man. It was
first exhibited in London for 280 consecutive
nights, and was during that time visited by
more than a half million of people, including
royalty, nobility, the gentry and clergy. By
command of Queen icloria, it was set up
in the Hall of Buckingham Palace, and ex-
hibited before her and the entire Court.
“As described by Milton, it~ commences
with a scenerepresenting the gathering of
the angels around the Almighty's throne to
' hear a new decree, that His only Son that
day begotten, should llencefOrth reign su-
preme in Heaven ; then " is I-int'rodu‘ced. the
banquet .‘ofthe angels upon the plains of
heaven; the bi ht encapment of the angels
by the river of , liss; Satan with his follow-
ers, plotting the rebellion; the marching of
heaven's host to put ‘down the rebellion; the
three days’ battle between the hosts of heav-
en and the rebellious angels, and the, final
triumph of the Son of God, when the chariot
of Paternal Deity, with thunderbolts and fire
of heaven,drives Satan and the rebel host out
of heaven in to hell. Then follows eight
magnificent scenesrepresenting the Creation
commencing with the surging waters of
Chaos and ending with the Creation of ani-
mals and 'man. After which the Pan-
. demonium or hell;-with Satan and the fallen
angels upon the burning lake. Satan’s
Council. in Hell, and Satan in Hell, and Sa-
tan's flight from Hell through Chaos in
search of this earth. Then following in di-
rect order, as described by Milton, is shown
the garden of Eden with Adam and Eve;
the temptation Of Eve, her fall ;' the fall of
Adam, the judgement of God and the expul-
sion from the Garden. . ' . .
The exhibition is pronounced by the en-
tire press and competent judges to be the
' finest work of art gotten up in modern times
and worth miles of travel to see.
Wepredict agreat. rush to Lockwood‘s
Hall while it is here, as it. will undoubtedly
prove one of the most attractive exhibitions
ever opened in this place. Look out for the
hills which will be circulated throughout
the town this week.

Paradise Lost.
The great Panorama- of Paradise Lost,
which has attracted much attention in all of
our large cities, now on exhibition at Lock-
wood’s Hall. It is said to be a really mer-
itorious work of art, and well deserving of
extensive public patronage.
[8‘ The storm on Monday evening of last.
week undoubtedly interfered very much with
the attendance at the Norwalk Band‘s bene-
fit Concertand Sociable at Lockwood’s Hall,
still the attendance was quite large, and the
entertainmentproved one of'the first of the
season. The Concert comprised music by
the Band, and vocal and piano music under
the direction of Mr. Hessian. The Band as-
tonished everybody by'their proficiency in
playing; if they continue to improve in the
future as in the past, they will soon rank
among the best Bands of the. State. Their
new uniforms compare favorably with the
new State-militia uniforms, and are made of
grey cloth, the jacket being trimmed across
the breast with red stripes, and pants and
jacket corded with red. The uniforms were
made by Mr. Jacob Turk, of ‘ this place.
Prof. Hession presided at the piano, and
the Misses Louise and Fanny Byxbee sung
several songs, and were loudly encored.
Mr. Smith,-of New York, and Messrs. Corn-
wall and Doty, of this place, also assisted.
At 10 o’clock dancing commenced and con-
tinued late into the night. The music,
which was most excellent, was under the
direction of Mr. Geo. Allen, Of New York.
The entertainment, socially, was a complete
success, and but for the storm woul so
have proved a pecuniary benefit to the Band.

Anniversary Ball.
The Burnside Light Guards, of South N or-
walk, are to celebrate their. Anniversary by
a ball at Ely's Hallon Thursday evening of
this week. The Guards invite their friends
to come out and help them jubilate.
<~<¢>oo————-.
WThe Concert at Lockwood’s Hall on
Wednesday evening last, was a very fine en-
tertainment and gave great pleasure and sat-
isfaction to all Who were present. Florence
Reynolds was charming, and well deserves
the name of “Nightingale”; she is achild
of ten years of age, is a sweet singer and
her audience, whom she easily moves from
tears’to laughter, and in listening to her one
forgets that she is a mere child in age. Two
other children won great applause, and the
Misses Davis, Miss Westcott, Measrs. Dyer
and Drewly, were repeatedly encored. 0w-
ing to the storm only about two hundred
persons were present. On Thursday eve-
ning the concert was repeated at Ely’s Hall,
South N orwalk, to a full house. Efforts are
being made to have Florence and her ama-
teur assistants visit Norwalk at some future
time, and if successful they may be sure of a
crowded house. .

HEADLEY’S HISTORY
OF THE -
GREAT REBELLION.
The late Rebellion stands. out peculiar and
extraordinary in human events;;_and the mag-
nificent scale upon which ‘the failure" been
conducted, constitute it one of the GRAND- -,
EST AND MOST BRILLIANT CHAR ‘
TERS OF THE WORLD‘S HlSTORY.
Mr. Headley, of all writers, is perhaps best
qualified to portray the stupendous features
of the mighty contest. His previous works
on less momentous themes have placed him
in the first position, as a graphic and power-
ful delineator of war scenes and characters,
and the magnitude and grandeur of the pres-
ent subject, impart to his pen the fire' and
vigor of ayet more exalted inspiration, and ‘
furnish ample scope for the highest exhibi-
tion of his peculiar genius for military . de-
scription. Under his powerful pen the stir-
ring scenes Of the War pass in review with
the vividness and distinctness’; ofgaiprssent
and living reality.; While his great talent for
condensation enables him to embody every-
thing of importance in a compass just suited
to the public want. From no other source
can so clear and comprehensive an impres-
sion of the grand march of eventsbe obtain-
ed, so easily and agreeably, as from Mr.
Headley’s work, ,
Other Historieshave been issued before
Grant’s report and other Oflcial Documents
were submitted to the Government and are
therefore unreliable. Mr. Headley has de-
layed the com lotion of this till those DOC-
UMENTS so ESSENTIAL to AUTHEN-
TICII'II‘Y and CORRECTNESS could be ob-
tains . ,

will be issued in March, 1866. Agents wan~
