made an examination of the oods, saying

said he, “clothes much better than those you
bare on.” He promised to post Montgomery

for. some reason, deliver the goods that Mont-

the Sheriff of Newtown, and two ofiicers

came to the depot on the 5th, and drove
gover to Dick's Hotel, where they waited to
.‘hear from Montgomery, and presently re-
ceived a note telling them to come quickly.
:In the meantime, Montgomery thinking
that they had had ample time to get his note
and that they must appear soon, met Nich-
ols in the parlor of his house, on the second
story, and commenced a conversation wrth
him, that led to his saying finally, Mr. Nich~

gomery, a New York detective, and,” taking
the writ from his pocket, and handing it to
Nichols, “here is a writ for your arrest, and
a‘ search of your house." Nichols took the
.writ, glanced at it. as if to satisfy himself that
it was a sure thing this time, and then
sprang at the detective, taking him by the
throat—Nichols is a large, powerful man,
and grappled Montgomery in deadly earnest,
dragging him to a door that opened ‘on the

Dunn Guerra—Your correspondent begs to ex-
press his sympathy for the sweltering denizens of
Norwalk, whose domestic cares, or business engage-
ments will not allow them to escape to some such fa-
vored locality on this glorious Independence day.
Here, where the fervid rays of the summer sun is so
sweetly tempered by the cool sea-breeze, that one
feels it to be a pe ual luxury to live and breathe.
and where the cle blue waters of the Atlantic are
as rekeshing to the eye as the delightful sea-breeze
is delicious to the weary and exhausted sensibilities
of the over-tasked body. Here, at “Watch Hill,”
where good and commodious Hotels, obliging land-
lords, respectfnl and courteous attendants, splendid
sea-bathing, fishing, salling,cte., together with its
quiet and entire freedom from the more fashionable
_conventlonalities which, to a great extent, mar the
pleasures of a temporary sojourn at other and more
fashionable watering places, conspire to make this
a most deligth asylum from the sweat, dust and
toll of the city during the intense heat of summer.
One other circumstance your correspondent must
not forget to mention, vlz. its entire exemption from
the curse of selling alcoholic drinks. This is indeed
remarkable. Thereare four large hotels in this to-
cality, and not a single Bar-room. Hence no row-
dies or drunken loafers are here to make night hide-
ous, or the day shameful. Here, the father may
come with his wife and children, nor fear that they
shall witness those disgraceful scenes which wait on
- dissipation as‘the ordinary concomitant of drinking
saloons and bar-rooms. The minister of Christ may
come and recruit his wasted energies and drink in
flesh inspiration from such delightful aspects of na-
ture as may here surround him. Moreover, it is
the place to rest, and this. I regard, as one of its
greatest attractions. A lounge on the piazza, a
stroll on the beach, agaze II'om the hill-top where
you may sit by the hour and watch the numberless
sail-craft as they go flitting by, or at eventide to
note the floating of the light from old Montauk,
and quiet your sensibilities with the perpetual
monotone of the ever beautiful and grand old ocean.
And all this, my dear Gazette, within about five
hours ride from Norwalk. Take thecars for Stoning-
ton. and a short sail across the Bay will bring you
here. Or you may continue on to Westerly, R. I.
and a carriage drive of five or six miles will bring
you to this place. A steamer runs to this place dai-
ly from Norwichdeaving at 8 a. m., touching at New
London, Mystic, Stonlngton, &c.. leaving Watch
Hill every day at 3 p. m. Hr. Spencer of the Atlan-
tic House, is a very obliglng and gentlemanly host,
and will do all in his power to make you comfort-
able. I have been thus particqu that such as may
feel a desire to come, shall know the way. Mr. C. T.
Leonard, wife and daughter, with the _party of your
humble servant, represent Norwalk at present.
Ever yours, A. II.
The Real Truth from the South.
a SIGNIFICANT LETTER A SOUTHERN
UNIONIST.
, A great deal is said about the growing,
§patriotic Union feeling at the South, and the
importance of fostering it by abstaining from
all measures sustained by force or by any ,
show of force. This answers very well for
the milk and water patriotism of our north-
ern democracy. With these pcople, party is
everything, and to secure a political triumph
in a petty election here, and if possible in the
national election, they are willing, and even ~
eager, to throw away all the fruits of the
blood, time and money, spent in defending
the Union agsitist that great rebellion these
Southern gentry made against it. The South
have always been the task-masters of the
democratic party, and no labor and obedi-
ence required have been too onerous, too
abusing for the denwcratic leaders. They have
always sprung with alacrily‘ to obey the or-
ders issued by the slave lords of the South,
and have contrived to make the honest por-
tion of the party, the rank and file, follow
snbmissively in their wake, up to the time of
the atrocious acts and measures preceding
and accompauing the Great Rebellion. Then
the people left their leaders and rallied round
the flag their Southern masters had banded
And now when the Southern
_to destrg.
armies ave been beaten, and resistance to
law, order and peace no longer exists in the
shape ‘of organized armies of hundreds of
leaders op‘pdse. everywhere, and decry and
misrepresent every effort made to maintain
at the South the authority‘qf the Union and
freedom of person and speechfand thought,
and equal rights. They' oppose and vilify
every effort to restrain the late active and
armed rebels fromnullifying the rcsultsolthe
war, and re-instating themselves in thehigh
places from which they were thrust by an
outraged and indignant people. They DOW.
claim these lately armed rebels arc the true
Union men, and nothing binders reconstruc-
tion South but the repression of a genuine,
generous, hearty Union sentime‘ by the
presence of military force in their cities. ’
Southern men who come north; both
Union and Rebel, say privately that this
claim of the democratic leaders is pernicious
folly, and purely falsehood. They say plainé
ly there is no Union sentiment in the hearts
of Southern leaders, the lately active rebels ;
that bitter, burning hatred of the Union
reigns in their hearts and that it is only the
presence of the military .that keeps them
from immediate, open bloody revolt, and
from again organizing another carnival of
rebellion and blood. '
These remarks have been suggested by pe-
rusal of aletter from a true Union man, who
was never a slave holder though he is a
prominent business man in the extreme south.
We extract from the letter—which is mainly
on private business—a few passages referring
to public affairs.
“*** Here, Treason alone is fashionable
and popular, whilo Loyalty is abar to social,
commercial and political advantages.
“*** An imbecile and corrupt administra-
tion has defeated reconstruction, and Con-
gress can alone save us from disintegration.
The war was too- short by ten years. It
served only to enrich the base and cowardly,
and now through the effects of "My Policy,"
and the mismanagement of the Treasury,
the immediate result is the prostrulion of the
industries of the country.
“*** The guilt of the rebellion is soft and
downy to tho mistakes of erriug brethren;
and the morale of the contest is buried with
the heroes of its battles.
“*.** That Cabinet meeting will be pro-
nounced in history the most infamous pro-
ceeding of the most. immoral and incompe-
tent cabal that ever disgraced a nation.
M“ Is Virtue gone out. of the people of
the North ? Are the widows all married,
and the orphans all fathered, and the graves
of the soldiers all ploughed up ? One would
think so. God save the country, if He
thinks it worth-saving now! This part of it
is a poor concern, truly."

structing the committee on military _afiaira
to report a bill to repeal all laws relative to
the present state militia system and to pro-
vide a new enrollment, and to collect all
arms in the arsenals, etc.
Mr. Woodward of Norwalk, moved to
amend by instructing the committee to con-
sider, the expediency of reporting a bill &c.,
instead of “to report a bill.” . -
Mr. Hamersley moved to amend the mud ‘
meat of Mr. Woodward, so as to instructthe
committee “to report the expediency" Mt,
instead of “considering the exwdiclcy of
reporting” &c. Accepted by Mr. oodwaf'd.
Mr. Lee said it might possibly be well to
reduce the expenses of this establishment,
but he could not agree to abolish it altogeth-
er. ~If there had been such a militia in 1801 .
the loyal people would not have beenfigken
by surprise and the whole labor of the coun-
try for the present and for generationaw to
come would not have been mo , _ y
the immense cost of the war; for e insur-
rection would have been surpassed in if; m-
fancy. 00F militia system wasa failure un-
til thc adoption of the present arrangement,
but it was now regarded by the oldestgmili-
tary men as the very best system known to
the country. Mr. Appcl spoke earnestly ~in .
favor of the resolution and against the mill-
tia system. Mr. Woodward and the milita-
ry committee had already considered this
matter, and it was probable they would re-
port in favor of a reduction of the maxi-
mum sizc of companies from 120 to 60. The
matter was further debated by Messrs. Hill
of New Milford, Thompson, . Woodward,
Gates, Lee and others, and final] , on mo-
tion of Mr. Waller, laid on the ta lo.
