Great excitement has existed in Danbury the past
week over an outrage and attempt’at rape, committed
on Friday. 4th inst. .The facts in the use are as fol-
lows :—A negro entered the house of Russell N. Wild-
mau, in Great Plain District. and was the perpetrator
. v of the act. _ He found Mrs. W. 'alone in thehouse with
her two sons. He succeeded in disposing of the boy:
by inventing the story that there were cows, in the
corn. Of course it was natural for the lady to send
boys to drive them out. After the boys had left the
house, he knocked her down twice, and attempted to
violate her person. Her screams brought to her relief
a Mrs. Connor, whom the fellow also knocked down;
and finding that he could not accomplish his object he
left the house. Officers were upon his tracks as soon
as possible, but thus far he has eluded pursuit. . On
Tuesday a large force started out in pursuit, armed,
but they returned aftera fruitless search. They form-
ed a skirmish line, and scoured the whole country.
The greatest excitement prevailed, and the indigna-
tion against the man is intense. Mrs. Wildman was
badly bruised about the head and face, and the
bruises show that she fought nobly against the devil
who assaulted her. '

WJohn Allen, “the wickedest man in
New York,” has been the lion of that modern
Sodom for the past month. Two weeks ago
he closed his dance house and held a prayer
meeting there, and since then noon prayer
meetings have been held there daily. On
Tuesday last, John announced his conver-
sion, and offered prayer. Thousands have
attended the meetings out of curiosity, and
now prayer meetings are all the rage in
Water street dens, and ‘-‘ wickeder men than
John Allen ever dared to be” are discovered
daily, and as fast as one is converted, an-
other still wickedcr is found. By this move;
ment religious men are gaining a strong
foothold where they could never before
enter, and the result may be glorious.

— Colorado responds to Vermont. The
election in that territory, Wednesday, result-
ed in a. glorious victory for the republican
candidate for Congress. In every county
heard from Union gains are reported. New
Mexico followed the same example and
elected a legislature of which two-thirds are
republicans. And now for Maine.
—— General Lee “fears the election of the
radical ticket will bring the country to
ruin.” This, from aDemocratic paper, is a
lively inducement to vote against Grant.
The first thing we know Davis and all hands
south will express their fears, like Lee, and
Grant will be entirely deserted in the north.
If there is anything to fri hten this northern
people, it is the “fears” 0 rebels.

750 MILES
OF THE
A UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD
Are now finished and in operation. Although this
road is built with great rapidity, the work is thor-
oughly done, and is pronounced by the United States
Commissioners to be first-class in every respect, be-
fore it is accepted, and before any bonds can be issued
upon it.
Rapidity and excellence of construction have been
secured by a complete division of labor. and by dis-
tributing the twenty thousand men employed along
the line for long distances at once. It is now proba-
ble that the
Whole Line In the Pacific will be
completed in 1869.
The Company have ample means of which the Gov-
ernment grants the right of way, and all necessary
timber and other materials found along the line of its
operations; also 12,800 acres of land to the mile, taken
in alternate sections on each side of the road; also
United. States Thirty-year Bonds, amounting to from
$16,000 to 848,000 per: mile, according to the difficul-
ties to be surmounted on the various sections to he
built, for which‘t takes a second mortgage as securi-
ty. and it is expected that not only the interest, but
the principal amount may be paid in services render-
ed by the Company in transporting troops, mails, die.
THE EARNINGS OF THE UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD, from its Way or Local‘Business only du-
ing the year ending June 30th, 1868, amounted to ov-
er '
Four Million Dollars,
which after paying expenses was much more than
sufficient to pay the interest upon its Bonds. These
earnings are no indication of the vast through traffic
that must follow the opening of the line to the Pacif-
ic, but they certainly prove that
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
upon such property, costing nearly three times their
amount,
Are Entirely Secure. l
The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for
81,000 each, and have coupons attached. They hear an-
nual interest,payable on the first days of January and
July at the Company’s Office in the City Of New York
at the rate of six per cent in gold. The principal is
payable in gold at maturity. The price is 102, and
at the present rate of gold, they pay a liberal. income
on their cost.
A very important consideration in determining the
value of these bonds is the length of time they have to
run.
It is well known that along bond always commands
a much higher price than a short One. It is safe to
assume that during the next thirty years, the rate of
interest in the United States will decline as it has
done in Europe, and we have a right to expect that
such six per cent. securities as these will be held at as
high a premium as those ofthis Government, which
in 1857 were bought in at from 20 to 23 per cent.above
par. The export demand alone may produce this re-
sult, and asthe issue of a private corporation, they
are beyond the reach of political action. -
The Company believe that their Bonds at the pres-
ent rate, are the cheapest security in the market, and
the right to advance the price at any time is reserved.
Subscriptions will be received in NORWALK by

And by the Company's advertised agents throughout
the United States.
Remittances should be made in drafts or other funds
par in New York, and the Bonds will be sent free of
charge by return express. Parties subscribing through
local agents, will look to them for their safe delivery.
A PAMPHLET AND MAP FOR 1868 has just been
published by the Company, giving fuller information
than is possible in an advertisement, respecting the
Progress of the Wdrk, the Resources of the country
traversed by the Road, the Means for Construction,
and the Value of the Bonds, which will be sent free
on application to the Company’s Offices or to any of
the advertised agents. -
