and some extra good singing is heard here
at times. One party frOm Providence,.in
the midst of which we discovered our friend,
the captain of the school-ship, was making
the air melodious with their merry, rollick-
ing, joyous voices. Another very expressive
term used here, is when a gent has an en:
gagemcnt fpr blufllng and the lady for some’ .
reason fails to keep her appointment, or he
gets out out” " {Tanother, he is then, to use
the vernacular ’ ’1 ployed here—“b1ufi‘ed;”
several of our party had this sweet experi-
ence, although most Of them, thanks to kind
Edgartown friends, enjoyed a very pleasant
evening’s blufi‘ing. _
Sunday morning seemed almost like a fete
day, 4 steamers, the Monohanset, Emeline,
and Stamford .from New Bedford, and the
Island Home fr‘OmNantucket came in fairly
black with passengers, while innumerable
sailing vessels of every description were con-
stantly "arriving all loaded with human
freight, there were also two small steamers
running through the day, one to Edgartown
and the other to Holmes Hole. One of the
sailing vessels while making the wharf lost.
'a man overheard but he was inuncdiately
fished out by strong arms without probably
any more serious injury than having his ar-
dor as well as his clo'thes thoroughly dam-
pencd.
At one o’clock p. Ill. there was a‘ children’s
mcetiug‘at the stand, addressed by Mr. May-
nard of N cthork and the Hott'.Wn1. Sprague
of Rhode Island, and others; by request the'
Grampus Quartette did the singing. The pre-‘
siding cider caused a smile in opening the
meeting by announcing that the Quartettc
would sing “The little brown jug ;" he how-
ever, immediately turncd and said it was a
slip of the tongue, that they would sing “The
little brown chtu'ch.”‘ Some of the busy-
‘oodies suggested that he was probably «tell
acquainted with the habits of the Club and
considered the first announcement the most
appropriate.
The attendanib at the afternoon services
was very' large, larger than any we have
seen before; the exercises were interesting
and were listened to attentively by all.
The evening meeting was prematurely
dispersed by a shower of rain which also
blufl‘ed the general. crowd of heretics who
were calculating upon bluffing that evening.
Monday morning early we up anchor,and
giving and receiving a gun with hearty and
rousing cheers from the schoolship, we start-
ed homeward, stopping on the way at Tar-
paulin Cove, Gay Head and Cutty Hunk
.for fishing, but met with indifferent success.
At Cutty Hunk Club House, the party met
with the usual warm welcome and learned
that Dr. Lyncs, who had been rusticating
there for several weeks, and who had been
expecting us to call, had given us up and had
that morning left for” home. Sorry Doc.
was in such a hurry. Tuesday we had'a
pretty stifi‘ breeze, dead ahead, which caus-
ed a sudden trembling and faintness among
the weak ones, so much so that chicken-pot-
pl‘e for dinner was not sufficient inducement
to get them below for rations. At supper
the Assistant Commissary wickedly sold the
Commissary and several of the members on
“cold chicken,’_’ fogwhich he ought to have
been treated in return with a cold duck——
overboard. ‘ '
Tuesday night we witnessed a rare and
splendid scene, which was the setting sun
and rising moon showing at the same mo-
ment, each just one-half Out of water,
the effect was splendid and smoothing never
before witnessed by any person on board ;
it was well worthy of a great artist to de-
pict. ' _
Wednesday morning we encountered off
Bridgeport a. huge flotilla of Oyster vessels
at work on the new Oyster bed recently dis-
covered therc. The sight was very pictur-
esque as we approached, there being about
one hundred vessels, some quite large, oth-
ers quite small, tacking hither and thither
over but a small surface of the sound. At
1 o’clock, p. m. we arrived back at our start—
ing point, the steamboat wharf, all very
well pleased with the trip and well satisfied
that the Grampus Club was the club to go
with for a pleasant summér trip, and that
the schooner Thomas J. Owen, with Capt.
Sands Selleck to handle her coul
outdone by any. , - _ -
In conclusion, I would' personally ac-
knowledge social pleasant calls had and
courtesies received from our old friends

et Inquirer and Mirror, and friend Vincent

Vullandiglmm .a Rebel Agent.
Capain Francis Johns, commander of the
steamer Harriet Pinckney, in which Valian-
digham ran the blockade after he was sent
south for disloyalty, has made an afliidavit
in which he states that Vallandigham, whom
the Ohio democrats have just nominated for
Congress, was a party to a confederate plot
to make a diversion at the north in favor of
General Lee’s army. Capt. Johns says:
“I was hurriedly dispatched by Maj or Nor-
man S. Walker, the confederate agent there,
on to Halifax, to convey a certain number of
confederates then at Bermuda, some 28 or 30
in all, most of them officers of various ranks
among whom Iremembcr the undermention-
, ed: 0. L. Vallandigham, Colonel Thorburn,
Colonel Priuzle, Colonel Black, Colonel
Sweeney, Captain Hartstein,Captain Styles.
The names of others I am at present unable
to state, as there was. no list of passengers
made or allowed to be made. Before setting
out I had several conversations with Major
Walker, relative to this expedition. He sta-
ted definitely and positively that it was a
secret mission organized at Richmond, which
Vallandigham was at the head of; that they
~wcre.to have mob meetings in the cities of
Boston and New York to create a diversion
in favor of Gen. Lee, and the southern army
then about to invade the north. I was ex-
pressly‘directed by Major Walker to proceed
without a moment’s delay, as Mr. Vallandig-
ham and the others were bound to be in Bos-
ton and New York before the Fourth of July
the day on which the mob meetings were to
take place in those cities. So hurriedly was
I dispatched that I was obliged to take on
with me to Halifax two~thirds of my cargo,
consisting of rifles, saltpetre, and various
munitions of war, which I had not time to
discharge. During the passage the objects
of the expedition were constantly and freely
canvassed, and plans laid for carrying out
the saute. Their purpose was to incite mobs
in the cities; to raise a revolution in the
north, if possible, and thereby create a di-
version in favor of Gen. Lee and the south-
ern army. Vallandigham was the acknowl-
edged head, or chief, and all the arrangements
were made under his immediate surpervis-
ion. He arranged everything and ordered
everything, and waS' clearly the moving lev—
er in the whole afiair, having come direct
from Richmond, by way of Wilmington, for
the express purposes ofconducting it. I had
also several private chats with him in regard
' to the expedition. He said it was one of vi-
tal importance to the confederacy, and was
undertaken under the sanction and by au-
thority of the Richmond government; that
he himself was at the head of it. I recollect
particularly a conversation I had'witli him
sitting together on the bridge on the mom-
ing of the twenty-eighth of June two days
before we reached Halifax. He spoke ofthe
dangers attending the enterprise, but said
that once in Boston he should be safe, for he
would then be among friends—men that he
knew. He then showed the his letter of au-
thority under which he was acting, and
which gave him the supervision of the whole
affair. It was addressed to C. L. Vallandig—
ham, and signed by Mr. Mallory.”

THE GRANT MEN MOVE ON THE ENEMY'S WORKS.
The electric thrill Of 30,000 Republican
majority in the old Green Mountain State,
has awakened the nation torcnewed enthu-
siasm and confidence in the complete tri-
umph of loyalty over the cohorts of treason
and rebellion. The threats of repudiation,
the menaces of renewed war and rebellion,
uttered in the interest of democracy by such
men as the butcher and fiend Forest, who
murdered in cold blood wounded and dying
prisoners of war after surrender, and the
Beauregard’s,- the Ould’s,thc Lee’s and lesser
and meaner lights of treason, both north
and south, have received their defiant an-
swer and rebuke from the patriotic sons of
Vermont. The volume of that patriotic
outbttst. will sweep like a torrent over into
.Mainc, and her pine forests will soon echo
back the swelling shout of loyalty and vic-
tory to all the nation. The organized co-
horts of the rebellion now so actively at
work in the interest of the democracy may
as well put up their penny whistles, for-their
boastings will come to naught, the “lost
cause” is not to be redeemed. Loyalty
shall yet rule the land. The dead boys are
not forgotten, and the nation will not. prove
herself recreant to Liberty. Now let the
sons of Connecticut “move on the enemy’s
works.” , '1
Wake Up 1
After the Convention is over 'at New Ha-
ven, on Thursday, and our Electoral Ticket
in the field, the Republicans of Connecticut
should WAKE UP and spring into the canvass
with an energy and determination, satisfied
with nothing short of victory. The scoun-
drels who flocked up from the dens and pur-
lieus of vice and crime in New York, last
spring, and gave the State to the democracy
by false voting, will be busy at home this
fall, and there is no reason or excuse for our
not carrying our patriotic little State over-
whelmingly for Grant and Colfax.
NEW BUILDINGS—The amount of build-
ing going forward in Norwalk was never
equaled before in its history. It is asserted
by those having opportunity to judge that
Norwalk is growing faster than any other
town or city in the State. We do not be—
lieve the statement is at all extravagant.
With all this evidence of private enterprise
and thrift, we earnestly hope for a little
more of the public sort. We sorely need
our sidewalks and highways tinkercd up.
The severe rains of the snunner have left
many of them little less than beds of cob-
bles.
DROWNED.-—A bright little lad, son of
widow Rosa Lockwood was drowned in the
Union Co’s. Mill pond on Wednesday last.
He slipped in near the Amphitheatre Bridge,
fellow sank to rise no more.
DRAW BRIDGES—We are assured upon
authority, entitled to respect, that the Nor-
walk Railroad Bridge is very far from being
in a condition of safety for the very large
trains daily passing over it. It certainly
will do no hurt to have the Railroad .Com-
missioners Come out, walk over it and plus-
ter it over. Senator Austin is so extreme a
partisan defender of this. great monopoly
that such a service would be peculiarly
gratifying to him. '
Grant and Colfax Club. -
Regular meetings of the club will hereafter
be held eyery Wednesday evening, at the
rooms in Betts’ Building, Main street, and
all friends of Grant and Colfax are cordially
invited to drop in and help the cause by
their presence. It is time to buckle on the
armor and commence the fight in earnest.
Our State must be redeemed this Fall, but in
order to do it we must wonx. Only “say
you will, boys,” and we will soon take Con-
necticut out of the list of doubtful states.
Up, boys, and at them ! ,
At the meeting on Wednesday evening of

A Dangerous Nuisance.
Do our friends at South N orwalk realize
that by suffering that pond of stagnant wa-
ter near the railroad to exhale its poisonous
miasma, they are doing more to injure the
value and sale of property a thousand fold,
than it would cost to fill it up. The tax-
payers can much better afford to bear the
burden of its abatement, than to endure the
perils of chills and fever, intermittent and
other fevers, almost sure to follow such neg-
lect.

Thomas H. Seymour died at his residence
in Hartford, on Thursday evening last, aged
01 years. He was educated at a military
school in Middletown, but afterwards he-
came a lawyer. In 1843 he was elected to
Congress and served one term. At the
breaking out of the Mexican war, he went
to the front as major, and was promoted for
gallant I conduct at Chepultapec, coming
home a colonel. In 1850 he was elected
Governor by the democracy, and in 1851
there being no choice by the people, he was
re-eleeted by the legislature by a majority
of5 on a joint ballot; in 1852‘and 1853 he
was rc-elected, and in 1854 was appointed
minister to Russia by Franklin Pierctfind
was absent six years. In 1860 he was ain
run for Governor, but was beaten, after a
desperate contest, by Gov. Buckingham.
During the late war he was a strong south-

On Saturday, 29th nit. another accident
occurred near 54th street, N. Y., resulting in
the death 9} a worthy young man, Mr. Geo.
Cole, of Wilton. He had taken passage on
the 12 o’clock, m., train on the N. Y. &. N.
H. Road, intending to visit his home in Wil-
ton. In passing from one c'ar to another, his
hat blew off, and in making a movement to
rescue it, his heel somehow caught, and he
was thrown on‘ the track. Three cars pass-
ed over him, cutting off his right leg above
the knee, and stripping the flesh from the
other leg, from the thigh down. _ He was ta-
ken to St. Lukes Hospital, and lingered un-
til Thursday, when he died. His remains
were taken to Wilton, and buried on Satur-
day. He had many friends in this vicinity,
who will mourn his violent and untimely
death.

Some simple, love-sick swain sends a com-
municatiou'to the last Edge rtown Gazette
signed “Many Young Ladies,”. inquiring‘
about the matrimonial status of the Gram-
.pus club. Young ' ladies, by unerring in-
stinct, can tell a bachelor from a benedict at
a glance, and therefOre need not ask editors
for, such information. By the tone of his
letter we should judge that the writer had
been “blufi‘ed” for some more favored Gram-
pus, and was suffering from contact with the
“green-eyed monster.” But to comply with
friend Vincent’s personal request, we would
say that the club was not organized for a
wife-hunting expedition, and the fact that a
maniwas married or not married did not bar '
him from membership, therefore while some
were married others were not, and- among
the latter were several very eligible matches,
and, shall we confess it, some of them were
ready and anxious to be caught by fair Ed-
gartown belles 1

W Senator Sherman, of Ohio, in a recent
speech, thus called attention to a point which
has generally been overlooked :—
“The real breach of faith in this matter is
not with the bondholder—it is with the note
holder. It affects the bondholder only as it
affects all other creditors. The bondholder
is no more the creditor of the United States
than the note holder. We have always com-
plied with our promises to the bondholder,
but-never to the noteholder. We promise
to pay the note on demand, but don’t pay it
at all, and refuse to take it even for our
bonds, except at a discount. This is the key
to all our financial discredit. If we will pay
our notes, and make them e al to other
money, all the trouble about bo ds and high
prices disappear.”

Justice of the Peace.
N orwalk, Sept. 5th, 1808.
A beautiful sail on the
“Hudson” on board of the far famed steam-
er “Mary Powell," brought me to this place,
and in my leisure moments I bethought me
that your readers would be pleased to hear
of matters in this part of the country,and by
the way N. Y. people have a different look,
style and way of doing things that seems to
an enterprising Yankee to be rather singu-
lar. This place is an old town, or village
as it is called, of re‘volutiouary fame, some '
of the houses are quite ancient, built of stone
and strong, 'quite dutch like, while the more
modern buildings are considerable in num-
ber therc.are fine stores, bank buildings, and
there is being erecteda large and commo-
dious public edifice, in fact Kingston al-
though not committed as a city has more
the appearance of one, than our own propos-
ed city of Norwalk. The streets are well
laid out, sidewalks well paved, but theroads
are very dry and dusty, no enterprising
sprinkler, like our Joe Moore, to lay out the
dusty Streets.
They are famous here for stone, great im-
menseZflaggings ; the stone quarries are a
mile or two out, the travel so great and the
wearing of the roads so severe that theyhave
built a “plank road” out of stone, which
when the road is new,must ride beautifully,
as it is now however, there are in some
places where the wheels have ground out, a
rut three or four inches deep, so that it is
not as smooth,or as good. I noticed a great
many of the teams avoided running on this
paved road. ‘
Contractors are now grading for a new
Railroad to be built from . Oswego to
'Kingston, and you would be Surprised at
the immense amount of work being done,
great heavy, hills of rocks to be cut through,
curt load after cart load of broken stone
dumped down to fill up, it looks like an imj
mense work. I am glad however to see an
improvement like this going on, and' wish
it could only be for our Derby and State
line, so long sought for and fought for.
Speaking of the Derby Road I have some-
times thought and believe I have heard that
a little “cooking” and understanding with
the great bridge interest that passed our

DEAR GAZETTE.
-_ last General Assembly might have resulted
in the passage of that charter. Legislators
are queer fellows and go about wisely shak-
ing their headsfand the dear public think
hOw wise, but there is a wonderful sight of
trickery and fixing,- too much for the count-
ry’s good, when it results as in this case to
no benefit.
‘ They have a Horse Rail Road here running
between Rondout and Kingston, but its man-
agement from a casual observation would
put our Uncle Ed Lockwood to a blush;
They have a sort of Toll gate operation, go-
ing from one point to the other, when you
get to the desired place, you are stopped,
like travellers by highwaymen, and request-
ed to “pay your fare,” and pinch annoyed
by a great burly manZstepping around, over
women and children when the cars are full
as was the case when I had the necessity
of riding the same. Whether this arrange-
ment is for the benefit of the corporation or
lack of confidence in Car Conductors, I can-
not say, but I am_eertain it is a poor one.
Their conductors are anything but civil.
Desiring to arrive in time to get on board of
that popular steamer “Mary Powell,” leav-
ing Rondout early in the morning 5:30 a. m.,
I in common with other passengers, was
somewhat anxious not to be left, but our
car driver took it leisurely and barely reach-
ed the boat, on being remoustrated with, the
young man having in charge the car rudely
replied “we’ve catehed the Powell,” “what
more do you want.” Now Uncle Ned’s em-
ployees don’t talk that way. Before clos-
ing I must relate to you a visit I made to
an old friend of mine, by the name of “Un-
cle George,” we all call him “Uncle" he is a
relative of that enterprising Dry Goods
Dealer in 8th Avenue, New York City. “Un-
cle George” is a hard head Democrat, and if
the unterrified don’t nominate the right man,
he “bolts” right out, and says so. Says I
“Uncle George how is politics in this part
.-of the country.” “ Well I don’t know
says he, I am a Democrat,I voted for Me-
Clellan in 1804, but I’ll be hanged if I like
that Seymour.” I voted for Cornell for Con-
gress, (a Republican by the way and elected
from Ulster and Greene county, both Demo-
cratic, so here is a gain,) and shall vote for
him again if nominated, but says “Uncle
George I shall have to vote for General
Grant and Schuyler Colfax this time I guess.”
There are more like “Uncle George” in this
State I assure you. I feasted his'eyes on a
silver dollar, it made the old man sigh and
long for the good old times. Says I Uncle
George you are no Greenback patriot are
you ? “No says he not I. I believe in hon-
or, truth, and justice. The Government,
wanted money in their distress, and made
promises to get ifiwhich they must keep,
no repudiation for me in the slightest. “Un-
cle George” is a good one, and Messrs.
Editors there are more Uncle George’s
in this State. A
.I am told by people'here that there is , a
revolution in public sentiment going on in
the midst of the good old democrats, and that
vote for Grant, Colfax and peace.
Yours, '
