What is Duty? It is ten years since the Republican party assumed a national existence. It originated at a time when, through the domination of an aristocracy based upon the denial of civil and political rights to. the laboring masses, the fundamental principles of free govern- ment were well nigh overthrown in the Re- public. Establishing itself upon the Declara- tion of Independence, the new party began its career of assault upon the gigantic iniqui- ty which reigned supreme in all departments of the government. ; In 1860 it made Abraham Linccln Presi- dent of the United States, and inaugurated new the principles of the founders of the Union. In its progress to this consumma- tion, it had no bitterer opponent than An- drew Johnson, who scouted all its doctrines as hostile to the Constitution, and the off- spring of a sickly fanaticism. In opposition to Mr. Lincoln, he supported for the Presi- dency, John C. Breckenridge, the candidate of the most malignant portion of the slave- holding aristocracy. Upon the defeat of Mr. Breckenridge, his partisans plunged into re- bellion. _Mr. Johnson refused to go with them, and adhered with inflexible pertinaci- -ty to the government of the United States. During the four years of Mr. Lincoln’s first administration, he accepted the policy of that administration, extending to the Emancipa- tion Proclamation, the abolition of slavery by constitutional amendment, the enrollment of 200,000 negroes in the federal armies, and the imputation of treason, with all its legal consequences, to the instigators of the rebel- lion. He went further: he declared himself .in favor of the abrogation of the distinction of color as a basis for the exercise of political rights, and advocated 'the extension of the sufl‘rage to federal soldiers, to citizens having capacity to read and write, and to freehold- ers without regard to complexion. Called upon officially by the newly emancipated citizens of Tennessee, he volunteered to be their Moses to lead them completely out of the house .of bondage into the enjoyment of their common rights as citizens of the repub- lic. Having made these professions, the Re- publican party made him their candidate for Vice-President in 1864, and elected him. Through that election he became President. The new Congress chosen, mainly, when he was elected to the VicePresidency, adhered ' to the Old Republican principles and policy. It aims to keep the plighted faith of the Re- public to 4,000,000 emancipated citizens. It seeks to establish secure guaranties against aristocratic and oligarchic domination and treason in the future, and against oppression under the sanction of . local legislation. . The President however can see nothing but fanaticism and treason in the lofty integrity and faithfulness to principle of ' such men as Fessenden, Footc, Harlan, Grimes, and Colfax. In his veto message, and in his digraceful speech to the rebels who applauded his utterances of Feb. 226, . he has deliberately severed his connection with the party which elected him, to which he owes every thing, even his own personal safety, which has Come with him with an endurance scarcely equaled in history, and has chosen to fraternize once more with Samuel S. Cox, Garrett Davis, and their as- sociates of the Copperhead faction. All this is sad enough, but more grievous still, there are Republicans who have been. struggling side by side with us for ten years past, who ask us to follow his example. We beg to be excused. We love principle more than men or office. We have not been dupes or hypocrites in the long conflict with "political evil in which we have been en- _ gaged, and we shall go on as we have done hitherto, true to the principles of the great Declaration, true to the rights of humanity, true to the faith of the Republic plighted in its hour of adversity, and true to those whom the President would now consign to I the tender mercies of their ancient oppres- sors. To-day we fling to the breeze Once more the ancient Republican flag, never doubting that its broad folds will ultimately wave over a regenerated Republic, and Lib- erty AND UNION be established, in fact as well as in name, throughout all the land. «4.» .

The Secretary of State praises the Presi- dent because, in vetoing the Freedmen’s Bu- " reau bill, hedeclined great trust and power ’ for himself. Of course he would bestow still higher laudations on James Buchanan, who: when the Republicans in 1860 desired to add 100,000 men to the army to meet the impend- . ing rebellion, combated the measure with allihis might, though it would have conferred . great power upon himself. A re-perusal, V. ,moreover, of Mr. Buchanan’s messages will show a striking similarity in the strain'of ar- gument'between himself and his present suc- cessor-about, the Constitution, the rights of the States, fanatics, and the like. . - —¢«.>o .} TOWN Mannie—At the meeting held on ”Saturday last the following votes wege passed :,—Voted, that the Treasurer of this town beand .hereby is authorized to pay, in addition to the six per cent. interest now paid on Town Orders, a sum not exceeding , ouepercent. for taxes now paid by holders ' of' said Orders!

DEAR GAzs'rTnz—Thc past week has had no parallel here in popular excitement since the horrible days following the assassination 0f the now more than ever lamented Lincoln. On Monday last the Senate received from President Johnson his veto of the Freed- man’s Bureau bill, a measure which had been prepared with very much more than ordina- ry care, by men whose legal attainments and patriotic inspirations are as high as those of any American statesmen who can be found in the land. It was, moreover, carefully su- pervised by Senator Trumbull," that faithful personal friend and intimate confidential ad- viser .of President Lincoln. Ils provisions were deemed needful for the protection of the nation’s new' wards by the purest, best and most conservative of legislatures. The bill was passed in both Houses of the Ameri- can Congress by morc than a two-thirds vote, and yet President Johnson felt justified in returning it with his veto, supported, sale now known by Messrs. Seward, McCulloch, Welles and Dennison, of his Cabinet. Heavy _as.was the blow, and sad as was the disap- pointment, even among those foremost to defend the President’s peculiar views, there was nevertheless a firm detl rmination among many Union members of Con ress to harmo- nize, if possible, the conflicting views thus, unexpectedly to most, arrayed between Con- gress and the Executive. - The veto message was laid over to Tues- day. Meantime eflorts were made to learn what would meet the Executive favor, but all that could be gained was that he was op- posed to everything within the possible scope, spirit and meaning of the Freedman‘s Bu- reau. Then it was, that, after the most search- ing, exhaustive and eminently successful an- swer to every objection urged by the Presi- dent, by Senator Trumbull, a vote was called and the bill lost by the lack of common con- sistency and fidelity of those Union men who had voted for it on its original passage. It is with regret and not with disrespect that we call attention to the fact that Connecticut fur- nished one of these votes. The bowl of de- light with which every tangle-haired rebel sojourning in Washington hailed our defeat, was indeed hard to hear. The blustering, blasphemo‘us invectives one had to bear against Republicans, on every hand, was not as promotive of those quiet graces of love and charity as is inspired by success, and yet, the bitter enemies of the Union and the bitter enemies Of the Union purl y felt that they had achieved a triumph and had a right to rejoice. Very hard indeed was all this to bear, and still, to reasonable Union men it was deemed far better that the common ene- my should enjoy his brief day of triumph than that Congress and the President should quarrel, and the grand Union party of prin- ciple and intelligence be rent by division. The feeling in and out of Congress seemed a unit, that this measure should be deemed a bygone, and the lecture so improperly vol- unteered as to their duties, be overlooked, and an honest effort made to proceed with general legislation, and, if possible, to pre- pare such a bill as, if it could not receive Executive sanction, should at least command such unchallenged commendation and sup- port as would secure for the poor, persecuted freedman and white refugee at least the right to live and be protected from rebel assault. Such was the temper of Congress when it adjourned over the 22d in honor of him who was “first lll war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Riding down from the Gapitol after ad- journment on Wednesday evening, in the street cars, there sat a middle—aged woman in deep mourning. Listening attentively to the remarks of several Congressmen, also passengers, upon the all-absorbing theme of the veto until she could suppress her feelings no longer, she broke forth—“Sins, I’ve lost both of my poor boys in the war, and I’ve been listening to the President’s message read in the Senate, and it does seem to me that Mr. Johnson is determined to rob us of all that our poor boys died for. It is too cruel of him, indeed it is, sirs.” Such is the im- pression made upon the mind of a Union mother whose two children had laid down their lives for the Union. And why? It certainly was not the message alone, that she had just heard discussed, for that was couched in respectful terms and platitudes of‘dcvotion for the Union and the Constitution. What then was it? Simply this: that here in Washington the air was filled with the jeels, the oaths, the shouts of triumph, and the re- vilings of traitors. It is impossible to con- vey to those unfamiliar with our society as now made up of hundreds who have re. turned here from rcbeldom, the perfect satur- nalia of treason which has run riot since that unfortunate event. There are many in both Houses honestly opposed to various features of the bill who would have been glad of its delight as has gone up from everything taint- 'its defenders, has united them in a firmer ad- herenceto Republican principles. Next came the 22d of February, a day which should ever be hallowed in the na- tion’s calendar, but how was it observed here? At the Capitol, Congress had joined in impressive funeral ceremonies over the death of one of the nation’s foremost slates- men and defenders. Here the President, his Cabinet, the Supreme Court and foreign le- gations had been invited to pay tribute of respect to one who had defended liberty where it cost something for such defencc,alld who done more than any other man to save Maryland to the Union—Henry Winter Da- vis. But the President’s chair set vacant be- .fore the Speaker’s desk! The House, the Senate, the Supreme Court Judges, lhe Rep- resentatives of foreign nations were there- The Oralion was plonounced and the bone- diction ‘givcn; but all this while an a~sem- blage of men had congregated at Grovcr’s Theatre, no single one of whom was known as afrz'cnd to the Union cause ; many of whom were known to have been active traitors. Defenders of the late assassins of Anderson- ville horrors, were there. Returned rebel soldiers, and inmates of Fort Lafayette were of the throng. Indeed everything of cop- perhead name or hue were there shouting peans to'our. President! Hearse with their llarrangues and their exultations, they marched to the White House and there were'treated to an address which has gone to the country not only as showing what our President is capable of doing, but also evidencing his cheerful alac- rity to contribute his personal approbation of the character of the crowd and their vile desecration of the day. Sad indeed is the fact, and the great American people who have given their money and their blood to defeat such as these North and South, will indeed find it hard to hear. The President’s speech will be read by all, and bears its own commentary With It. ‘ It is indeed refreshing to turn from the scenes enacted here to a highly respectable gathering in New York, where men of loyal records who had some. honest purposes, met for the same ostensrble purpose. Yet honored as it was, by two Cabinet Ministers, the unconcealed joy it has given all those who derided the war, rcjciccd over Union defeats and sympathized with treason, must tarnish even so respectable a gathering in the estimation of all who love their country, more than Office or party. Butlet .no true patriot be discouraged at the rejoicing of the enemy. .f one man has become estranged, a hundred, and more, good Union men still stand fearlessly up for the Right in Congress. More than a score of these have .periled their lives intbe’ army. of the Union, all of them are the chosen Representatives of loyal constituencies, and let come what; will come, these men WILL NOT DESERTéLIBEBTY.

The Freedmen’s Bureau bill, which has just been defeated by the President's veto, was passed by Congress under the following circumstances. At the close of the war there were some hundreds of thousands of rebel oflicers and soldiers scattered through the Southern States, smarting under a sense of defeat, and yet composing the ruling class of society in their own communities. The Pres- ident, last summer, authorized this class of ‘men to re-establish and control the, State governments at the South, by. his exclusion of the emancipated citizens from the ballot. As a consequence, the Legislatures of all the rebel States were cOmposed of overwhelm-V » ing majorities of unchanged rebels. They bitterly hated the Amendment to the Consti- tution for the abolition of slavery, but were compelled by the results of the War to accept it. From that time their political conduct had these ruling motives, viz.: 1st, to de- press the Southern wht'te Unionists, andde— prive them of all chance of future influence; 2d, to make the block Unionists the slaves of society, as they could no longer be kept as the slaves of individuals; and 8d, to do these things in such a way as not tointerfere with- their own return to federal power. They accomplished the first by the old system of terrorism and violence practiced before the war, and so successfully ’that throughout nine-tenths of the territory lately in rebellion it is as impossible for a Union man to re-7 ceive a majority 'at a popular election as it would have been for an abolitionist six years ago. The second was-accomplished by a system of laws more infamous than the old slave cede—laws which forbade the emanci- pated citizen to own or lease land, which forbade him to be educated or to educate his children, which put it in the power of any rebel Justice of the Peace to take away all children of emancipated parents from those parents and bind them out at pleasure, which forbade the emancipated citizen from seek- ing employment any where except as dicta- ted by his old master, which authorized the person and property of the emancipated citi- zen to be seized without cause and without process; all which laws were in flagrant vio- lation of the Constitution of the United States, and yet for none of which was there any remedy, as the State Courts were under the control of rebels, and the black man ex- cluded from any benefits thereof, and the federal courts had no jurisdiction. So Con- gress passed a law strengthening the pov’ver of the Freedman’s Bureau, to put an end to these frightful atrocities, and the President vetoed it. I We have no comment to make upon this transaction other than this: if the people of the United States do now deliberately abandon to the horrible despotism of the rebel ruflians who control Southern society, those who stood by that government during the war, whether black or white, the vengeance of God will again be poured out upon this nation in a measure to which thewaste of blood and treasure of the la“ fom' years will be as a drop in the bucket. «.5» Mr. Seward’s Speech. In the Congress immediately preceding thé outbreak of the rebellion, Mr. Stanton of Ohio, chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, reported from that committee a bill for a volunteer force, in anticipation of the events then clearly foreshadowed. Mr. Sew- ard and his friends opposed the “bill and de- feated it. “There will be no war,” they said; “ this excitement will all be over in ninety days, and it is useless to add fuel to the Southern ea:- cz‘tcmcnl by such a measure as this.” The ar- gument prevailed, and the country was left defenceless to its enemies, and the inevitable war prolonged and made more bloody as the result. -- ' N ow Mr. Seward again comes forward as an adviser. “There is no need of protection to the emancipated citizens,” he says in effect, and lest we should offend some unrepentant rebel, would have us deliver the eleven States lately in revolt over to the domination of their ancient aristocracy without a guaranty or a security. , ‘ If the country follows his advice, it willin the end reap a heavier retribution than fol- lowed four years since. ¢<.». Stand by the Congress. This should be the motto of every man who loves the principles for which the Re- publican party has been contending since 1856. Those principles are fundamental to all free governments._ They must become universally prevalent in this nation, North, South, East, and West, or the nation will as- suredly perish. Their best epitome is found in the Declaration of Independence. The South, long since, rejected them, and went to ‘ war to sustain that rejection. Defeated in the field, but finding the executive depart- ment of the government in the hands of a man who went with them in all their as- saults upon the Republican system, till the very outbreak of armed strife, they now change their tactics, take possession by flat- tery and stratagem of the executive mansion, and call upon the loyal country to repudiate their old, trusted leaders,'. who. have guided their country safe through the perilous storms of ten years past. We do not choose to substitute for such men as FESSENDEN, FOOTE, TUUMBULL, HARLAN, Gamma, and a score of other life-long patriots, a new party made up of an alliance of the bosom friends of Jefferson Davis with the trimmers, the sycophants, and the twad- dlers who have hung upon the skirts of the Republican party in its days of ascendancy for the sake of its offices and emoluments, but who now desert it, as is their nature, for the new shrine of executive favor, and the spoils to be gathered there. Hence we say to all Republicans, STAND BY THE CONGRESS. In its ranks are the men you have trusted for years, whom you know to be established upon principle—the men whom you have chosen and sent to the fed- eral capital to see to it that the blood and treasure of this war he not thrown away. It is the duty of Congress to secure the country against future secession, slavery and rebel- lion; to see to it that henceforth mob law shall not be dominant in one half of the Republic; and that a freeman shall be able to travel along the Gulf without holding his breath lost his life should be assailed by law- less violence. It is for.Congrcss to see to it that we do not go back to the old times when Northern men were expected, as a matter of course, to do menial work for the Southern aristocrats, and even in legislative hulls the pistol and the bludgeon Werc the best argu- - ments ‘of the representatives-of an insolent oligarchy. ‘ If the Congress is not sustained, we are going, with fearful rapidity, back to that Old condition of affairs. Every hope of the na- tion is now dependent upon the firmness of its Representatives, and it is for the people to be firm in their support, that we may be , guided safely through the unhappy crisis that is upon us,. Therefore, we repeat again, STAND BY THE CONaBEllfl. ' ' 'Fairfielrl County Agricultural 1 Society. , The adjourned meeting of this Society Q was held at the Rooms of the Nor-walk Horse Railway Co., on Wednesday the Slst ‘ inst. The meeting was called to order by the President of the Society, Mr. Jonathan Camp. The minutes of the last meeting were 9 read and accepted. . The Committee on permanent location re- ported that they had made every effort to secure a permanent location, but as yet had failed. Real estate and building materials. being so high they would recOmmcnd the - Society, 3°. defer -, locating permanently,‘ at. present; ' The Report was accepted and the Committee requested to other year. , On motion, Mr. Edwin Hoyt, of New Ca- naan, late Recording Secretary, was unani- mously electod anhonorary liteiember of the Society. = . '_ ‘ Mr. D. P. Ely, of Norwalk, announced to the meetingthat since the Society last met, death had removed from us one of our most faithful. and earnest members and Vice-Presi- dent, viz: Gilbert K. Riker, of Stamford. The subject was referred to the following Committee: David Comstock, Norwaik; J. D. Smith, Stamford; and H. Morehouse of Darien; who presented the following resolutions which were unanimously adopt- ed : - - Wnnmas, our Heavenly Father in the dispensation of an all wise Providence has removed from our midst GILBERT K. Rrxnn, of Stamford, an honored Vice President of the Societ and one of its earliest and truest friends. heretore Resolved, That we mourn his loss, not as one without hope, but that we submissively bow to the will of the Great Dispenser of all events, and trust that his decease may be blessed to our good. - Resolved, That in this sad bereavment we tender to his family sincere and heartfelt sympathy, and as a token of the respect we have for his honesty, integrity and noble- ness of purpose, we enter these resolutions upon our minutes. And be it further Resolved, That a copy of the above reso- lutions be presented to the family of the de- ceased by the Secretary. Joseph B. HOyt, of Stamford, was cho- sen Vice-President to fill the vacancy. The meeting then proceeded to revise the Rules and Regulations of last year, also the Premium List of last year. The rules and regulations were adopted with slight altera- tions. The Premium List was increased about $500 over last year. For the best Train of Working Oxen, not less than 20 pairs, the Society offer $50, 2d best $40, 3d best $30. The premiums on Working Oxen, Steers, Cows, Horses, Veg- etables and Fruit, are largely increased. The whole amount offered by thefiociety is near- ly $2,400.00. ' Proposals for the next Annual Fair were called for, when Stamford, Norwaik 'and Bridgeport made the following bids 2 . Stamford $505, Bridgeport $400, Norwaik $250. A motion was made to hold the next Annual Fair at Stamford, which no doubt would’huve passed unanimously, but for the fact'that the representatives from Sta'mIOrd' were in doubt as to whether suitable grounds could be obtained to accommodate the So- ciety without paying extravagant prices, if at all ; and that Norwaik Offered the use of the grounds occupied _by the Society last year fOr $100, with the track already graded. The motion was lost, after which the Socie- ty‘ voted unanimously to hold its next annu- al exhibition at Norwalk, September 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th, 1866. The President, Secretary, Treasurer and Marshal, were appointed a Committee to make all contracts and arrangements for the Fair. ' , ~ ‘ ' ' Henry H. Elwell, Samuel Beatty, A. J.

It is very true, you would have the ' bales odors not so agreeable. ' cannot but be Idea The Other Side. Enrrons on THE GAzn'r'rE: I am of those that lay very little claim to engineering skill or ability to ~l‘ook further into the future than is common to all men. These remarks were across the river at South Norwalk. Would this measure be an improvement to the navi- gation of Nor-walk harbor? Let us examine for a moment. A dam across the harbor =wouldvirtually make the head of tidal navi- gation at whatever point such dam was loca- pond or basin above the dam, but it would be practically a basin of stagnant water. The quick flow of the current in and out of lhe harbor above the dam would cease, and the various accumulations of matter from the Norwaik river, from the town of Nor- walk, the wash from the banks of the river, all' in the 'nature of a sedimentary deposit, Would in a few years render the harbor un- navigable by vessels of any size. It is the quick water that will keep the channel clear, and the reverse when its course is obstructed. All closed basins or docks, as those of Liver- pool or London, are constantly growing shoaler, and are only deepened by' digging them out. The same cause in a lesser degree would tend to diminish the depth of water below the proposed dam. I have not considered how much a dam with a lock would obstruct the freé naviga- tion of the harbor, already incumbered with a' railroad bridge, and though it were removed for the dam project, it would, in my judg- ment, prove a more serious evil. It would undoubtedly be a pleasant sight for property holders along the liver side to see the water always flowing up to the banks instead of the naked mud flats which sometimes ex- Bathing, sailing, and skating. are all beau- tiful, and even natural-growth oysters have a place in one's mind, but the free and unin- terrupted navigation of Norwalk harbor is of first consideration.

FAIRCHILD:-— DEAR SIR: At your request, I have examined ‘Jobnson’s New lllnstratcd Atlas’ with as much care as my time would allow, and think it superi- or to any other work of the kind which I have heretofore seen. There is a lnore satisfactory distinclness in theoutlines and lettering of the Maps, than is usual in such works; and I consider the Historical and Statistical portions of the work, especially the full Chronological His- tory of the Great Rebellion,.as very much increasing the value of Johnsons Family At- las. I do not hesitate to recommend it as a work which, I believe, will, on a thorough examination, amply satisfy those who buy it, that it would be difficult for them to find the same amount of valuable information in works which would cost them twice the sum asked for this. Respectful] yours, WM. COO ER MEAD, Norwalk, Conn., Jan. 27th, 1866. We Copy the following from the New Ha- ven Journal and Courier of a recent date. “Some idea may be obtained of the suc- cessjgwhich this great work is bavingin this city; from the recommendations which are given below Mr. Fairehild, the agent, has just commenced here, and has as yet called upon comparatively few of our citizens, but every one who has seen the work at Once admits it to be incomparably superior to any other ever published in this country. It con- tains the latest information on a reatvarie- ty of subjects, and the provision or supply- ing new maps, statistics and other reading matter, as fast as it may be needed, makes 't peculiarly attractive to those who have b*- come tired of getting a new Atlas every few years. This popularity and its large and ready sale account for the very reasonable price at which the ,agents are able to offer it, and it is evidently; destined to supercede in general use all other works of the kind, and to become the - standard American atlas. The following recommendations are well worth reading ; FROM PRESIDENT WOOLSEY AND SORS OF YALE COLLEGE, The edition of Johnson’s New Illustrated Family Atlas, which is now before the pnbli c, appears to me to be a great Improvement on the old one, and to be superior in usefulness and convenience to any other which has been issued in this country, A‘large number of new maps have been added or substitu- ted for old ones. be extensive text oing along with the maps forms a eography of tlelt. The plan of keeping up the vs no of the work by maps newly pasted in from time to time, to be issued by the publisher, whenever Important geographical discoveries or changes shall demand it, up e are to be avery happyone, and must commend tself' to purchasers, as, in some sort, renewi‘rlivg the youth of the atlas. THEODORE D. OOLSEY, President of Yale College. PROFES- We concur in the above recommendation. N Penman, W. B. CLARKE, D. C. GILMAN, J. M. HOPPIN, Cvnns Nomnnop, Truo'rux Dwrenr, ls. SILLIIAN, WM. D. War-mar, Janus Hspnnv, Professors in Yale College. NEW HAVEN, Ian 28d, 1866. From the examination which I have made of “Johnson’p FamilyAtlas," I am led to entertain the same vrews of the excellence of that work which have been expressed by President Woolsey. It is difllcult to find in the best European works of this kind, maps of the United States, which are either full or correct. Johnson‘s Atlas appears to be in this particular, entirely satisfactory. GEORGE P. FISHER. New HAVEN, Jan. 31st, 1866. I take pleasure in commending J ohuson‘s N sw Il- lustrated Family Atlas to the ublic favor. SO far as the examination which I h vs given it enables me to judge, it excels greatly in the amount of in- formation whicn the maps contain, and in the cor.- rectness with which this is lven ; and these are the two elements which give t e chief value to an atlas. Indeed the multitude of names and places found in the plates would be excessive and con us- ing, especially in the portion of the work whic is devoted to our own country. were it not for the lar e size of‘ the maps of the several States and the d s- tlnctness with which the lines and letters are engrav ed. I know of no other Atlas which represents the world as it now is so minutelyI and well as this. THO AS A. TEACHER. To Mr. L.W. FAIRCHILD. The examination which I have made of Johnson’s “Illustrated Family Atlas." though not very thor- ough, is sufilcient to authorize me in saying that the work is not surpassed in value by any. other work of the kind w‘th which I am acquainted. It constantly useful as a book of intelligent family in which thereare Oftravels’, or of the newspa- ONARD BACON. referencsin every any readers of h story, pers. . New HAVEN, Feb. 6th, 1866. FROM A FEW OF THE, SUBSCRIBERS. Havin examined Jobnson's'New Family Atlas, for whic Mr. L. W. Faircbild is agent, we find it an erior, so far as our knowledge extends, to any other ever published in this country, note in com- pleteness and accuracy of its maps. in elegance of execution. and in extent and variety of statistical information contained. The arrangement for pro- viding new mups as fusfi as the changes in our coun- try may require themn e fullza habelical index of the towns, villages, and pobt o cab in our coup ry, and the complete chronological history of the re el- llon—a table of great value for reference—'are fed- tures especially worthy of mention. Its steel plate maps are remarkably clear and distinct; They give all the township llnes‘and names, whenever such divisions exist, with a great numberof minor vrl- lages: and in the Southern States, and, the new States and Territories, being based upon the latest surveys, luclude'allthe‘polnts‘ that have recently become rtant. or noteworthy. Considering these features, and the largely increased cost of such alivork within the past two years. we think it the chea ,st as well as the grout useful Atlas ever u‘bllsh‘e in this country, In! having subscribed or it ourselves, we have .no hesitation in recom- mending it to, others. ‘ ‘ E.

Shame, that an accident even has placed in the Executive chair a man who could so far forget the proprielies .of' his station as to de- scend to the vulgar slang, which on that oc- casion fell from Presidential lips; disgust at_ the eflroutery of this eleventh-hour convert in his imputations of disloyalty to men who were striving for the Union of the thers, while he remained still the coadjutor and supporter of Breckenridge, Davis, and Toombs.

' WASHINGTON, D. 0., February 24th, 1866. Massns Enr'rous :-—The greatest victory that the rebels and their “friends” at the North, have gained over the loyal portion of the Country, has been achieved during the past week. The veto of the Freedmen's Bu- reau Bill, by President Johnson, has given them more pleasure and caused more rejoic- ing than any defeat of the Union Armies du- ring the War. And why should it not ? To them it is avery just and severe rebuke of the Union Congress—or to use the lan- guage of the Richmond Emma'ncr,which sup ports Mr. Johnson's policy,—the “Yankee" _ Congress. Even the deep-dyed,'infamous traitor Vallandigham. has fired his cannon and hung Ont his flag on this great occa- sion of traitorous rejoicing. The Bill was vetoed on Monday, and on Tuesday it was again brought before the Senate for a second passage, when thirty votes were cast in favor of it and eighteen against it. The Republicans voting against the bill on this occasion, were Dixon, of Connecticut; Morgan, of N. Y.; Cowan, of Penn. ; Norton, of Minn. ; Doolittle of Wis. ; Van Winkle and Willey of West Va.; and Stewart of Nevada. To one' who has carefully watched the proceedings of the present Congress, the vote of Mr. Dixon will cause no surprise, as he has been gradually swinging around until he has finally landed in Democratic ranks. Mr. Morgan’s vote on the contrary, caused great surprise and re- gret among his most intimate friend, and it is rumored 1n authentic circles that a promise of a lion’s share of Government patronage, (i. e. N. Y. Custom House) was the cause of this sudden “change of base.” The others have always been considered as “luke warm” and their votes were ‘very generally anticipated. Mr. Foster of Con- necticut, voted for the Bill, and is entitled to the thanks of every citizen of the State who has the good of his Country at heart. The testimony which is daily‘ brought before the Committee on Reconstruction, shows con- clusively that a Union ' white man has no safety of his life or property, outside of the military protection, in the South, and such being the case, what safety would the Loyal black man have, without some protection from the Government ? _ The meeting in this city on the 22nd inst., which was called for the purpose of endOrs- ing President Johnson and the Veto, was a remarkable gathering. Rebels, who have not been On the streets since the 2nd battle of Bull Run, when they came out to exchange congratulations on the defeat of the ffYan- kees,” gathered with the bitterest and vilest of copperheads, to endorse the President 1 Sen- ators Me Dougall, of California, Hon. A. T. Rogers,'of New Jersey, S. S. Cox, Ex. M. C., from Ohio. and ‘other‘cq’uall'y as earnest Op- ponents of Justice and Right addressed the meeting,.and poured forth their laudations of the President'and; their hatred for any- thing that tended to‘give‘eqnality to all.men. ‘The meeting broke .up- at. 4 o’clock, when the crowd, led ,by the-above named champi- ons of copperheadi'sm, and a half-dozen or" Washington’s biggest. rebels, headed by a band of music proceeded to the White House. Soon after their arrival at the Executive Man- sion, and after the band had played one or two airs and the crowd had cheered for the President, that person made his appearance, flanked on either side by Clampm and Aiken (co‘unsclfgr the Conspirat..rs,) and followed by Tom Florence and Green Clay Smith, of Ky, Then followed a harangue of over an hour, during which the President took occa- sion to allude personally to members of both Houses of Congress, which, to say the least, was very unbecoming the dignity of a Presi- dent, especially in presence of such a gather- ing. His speech has doubtless been publish- ed by the northern journals, and only‘needs to be read to receive the condemnation and censure of every sensible man. “A UNION SOLDIER." ._-__..<.>.._.——— WThe Lecture Committee held a meet- ing on Saturday night, settled u'p accounts and disbanded, feeling that the support they had received Would not warrant their run- ning any further risks in obtaining Lectur- ers.
