THE STATE CONVENTIONS.
The calls for the Conventions of the two
political parties in this State, are now out.
The Republican call is for the 9th of Febru-
ary, at Allyn Hall, Hartford. It is under-
stood that the old ticket headed by Governor
Jewellmill be renominated, with the single
exception of the place of Lieut. Gov., which
is lei): vacant by the absence of Lieut. Gov-
Wayland in Europe. Should New Haven
county insist upon holding the position with
any degree of unanimity, we presume the
Convention would concede to her the hon-
or. J. M. Townsend and Mayor Fitch and
Ezekiel Trowbridge, of New Haven, are
named; for; the place._ Col. Wm. B. Wooster
and 0. H. Piam‘of‘ the same county, are also
named. The Adoocak proposes Oliver Hoyt,
of Stamford, a most excellent selection, as
also would be that of Oliver H. Perry, of
Southport; but as our county has the place
of Treasurer upon the ticket already, it is
not likely to be farther honored, although
' the addition of either gentlemen would add
strength to the ticket. As far as our infor-
mation goes, appearances would seem to in-
dicate that Colonel Wooster was the most
likely to be chosen for the vacancy. A gal-
lant soldier in the war, an experienced leg—
idlator, eminently familiar with all State in-
terests'aud abundantly qualified, he would,
in all respects prove a strong and most ac-
ceptable candidate to the Republicans of
Connecticut.
Of the first place on the ticket no one
thinks of or would tolerate a, change. What
Governor Buckingham- was. to our causé du-
ring the war, Marshal] Jewell is in our pres-
ent time of?- peace. He has rapidly grown
iiifstrength and popularity and to know him
ig'not simply to,]iko him, it is to love him.
No nobler specimen of a fully and perfectly
developed manhood, is to be found in the
State, and the re-nomination of Governor
Jewell, “ organizes victory.”
Our friends in adjoining towns should
not neglect the early appointment of their
delegates.

racy, ]he.m_ost that can be said- is,‘ perhaps,

0m- Now steam l'lrc Engine Works.
We paid a hurried visit to the Allerton
1 Steam Fire Engine Works, at South Nor-
walk, last week, and while the sea of mud,
encountered in getting there, made us regret
the location, we were nevertheless surprised
at the ordcrzand thrift everywhere apparent
about their large and commodious factory.
They have, six first-class steamers in the
course of completion, one being ordered for
the village of Logan, Ohio. A beautiful
Hook do Ladder truck is also nearly finish-
cd for the New York Fire Department,
while a gorgeous Hose Carriage is finishing
for the City of Baltimore. A feature wor-
thy of special remark and commendation is,
that one engine is kept in' constant readi-
ness, should its services be required, either
about their own works, or about either vil-
lage. The works are under the immediate
charge of Mr. Morris Battichcz, as opera-
ting Supt., and John H. Knapp as General
Supt, and bids fair to become an important
local interest.
ANOTHER Fran—The Norwalk Laundry
and Dye Works owned by Messrs. Robert
N. Perry and David M. Lane, located at
Perryville, so called, were destroyed by fire
on Tuesday evening last. The fire broke
'out about half-past eight o’clock, but no
alarm wassoundcd in the village. The cause
of the fire is unknown. There had been no
flies in the building that day, except a
wood fire in one of the stoves, which the
watchman made simply for the purpose of
cooking his dinner, and which he extin-
guished about 4 o’clock, P. M. The build-
ing was insured for $1200, and the stock,
machinery, &e., for about $3,000. Loss‘

very hard blow to two industrious and dc-

ure would have been more entertaining.

WNew York journalists delight in pok-
ing fun at Boston and everything pertain-
ing to “The Hub.” Here are two recent
squibs :— ’
A rector, of a western church asked his
Sunday-school on Christmas day where the
wise men came from ? “From Boston,"
answered one of the smart boys.
“Don't you want to be religious i” said a
revivalist to a stranger in one of his meet-
ings. “No." “Why ‘2" Because I was born
_,_in Boston, and a man who is born in Bos-
ton don’t need to be born again.”
Chicago folks take as much pleasure in
hector-ing New Yorkers. They assume airs
of immense superiority and “patronize” Go-
:tham in- a manner perfectly astounding to
icastern people. One Sunday we dropped
into one of their best Sabbath Schools,-and
Fan excellent school it was, too, by the way
—and found the superintendent had the floor.
He delivered a capital off hand ‘ftalk” to the
children, during which he read the names of
iislfa dozen scholars who had been award-
ed prizes. As he read the name of one
boy, he stopped suddenly} and in an inde-
scribably ludriorous manner said, “Johnny
has gone to New York for a few weeks—

of old, half-forgotten memories, chiefamong
which, were‘the efforts made by ourself to
dispose of our interest in the old GAZETTE,
full “twenty years ago,” that we might join
with Brady,S. E. Gruman, and others, in a
clipper voyage around the Horn to this then
newly-discovered golden Ophir. Our ina-
bility to find any one to take the paper up-
on any terms, forced us to forego our boyish
ideal dreams of fortune, romance and ad-
venture, and to see our friends set sail from
New York, with a motley crowd of similar
adventurers, and a mixed cargo of picks,
shovels, wheclbarrows, salt junk, and red
flannel underclothing. The best part of a
year was consumed in reaching their desti-
nation, with fatigues, privations, and diver-
sified fortunes, such as will never be real-
ized this'side of eternity.
Resting for the day, we arranged for an
early visit to the larger gold mines on the
following morning. ,Our first experiences-
wcrc at the Eureka, the chief mine, and the
one with which our friend Brady was 0011-.
nected, and under the superintendency of
the Brothers Watt, to whom, also, wewould
here specially express our obligations and
gratitude. The first order was to cast off all
supei’fluous clothing, and don a miner’s
garb, f5r descent, sic hundred feet into the
bowels of mother earth, and downthrough
an aperture that was no more than six feet in
diameter at the surface. ' A more .unique
and comically attired company of sight seers
probably never was seen on this edge of the
continent. Our appearance in rubber caps
and capes, dense woolen coats and nether
garments, transcends any powers ofdescrip-
tion or efforts of the imagination. No char-
ade or theatrical costuming could approach
our personal decoration, and we are quite
I sure that had Whitney do Beckwith been
there to have photographed our group, a
fortune would have followed their sales.-
Each looked to the other like a cross be-
twecna Piutc squaw, the picture of Gideon
Wellesin the dome of the Capitol, and a
Clifl‘ Houscsea]. The reader must “ go and
.do. likewise ” to attain to our graduating
ipoi‘nt of the fantastic and ludicrous. Being
costumed, we were stood in close pack up:
on the little platform car, each with a light-
ed tallow dip in hand, held aloft over our
heads, and then commenced the long, dark,
dripping, wicrd descent. These ears are
lowered and raised by powerful engines,
and bring up about a ton of mined rock at
a time. From five to eight minutes were
consumed in the descent; but in the dark,
sepulchra] gloom, it seemed twice thattime.
Reaching the bottom of the upright shaft,
[lateral leads or openings diverged in all di-
" rections. The busy miners, with their flick-
ering candles stuck in the rocky side-walls
with lumps of soft clay, or fastened to the
fore pieces of their caps, picking, and con-
torting themselves in their work in the re
mote ends of these shoots, looked like the
glimmer of the infernal realms, with its ur-
my“ VFme—rio‘n-Fimhgskifllsmihcin.
victims. The aurifcrou‘s rock ru'nsiin seams
and is picked, broken audblastcd out and
sent up the shaft, in lumps from the size of
marbles up to that of a man’s hcgd. The
gold-bearing quartz rock in this mine is so
firmly imbedded in the shelter or outer rock,
that very little, roof-propping is rchisiic,
and there is very little danger, in powder-
blnsting within 11$ “ leads," of any rock or
debris falling from overhead upon the mi-
ners. At one point in the long, central
transverse opening, we overheard echoing
noises akin to the tick of some quaint old
house clock, and, upon nearing it, saw. a
hole barely large enough to admit a man’s
body, widening and slanting as it descended
till it reached a still further depth of one
hundred and fifty feet ! We could scarce
determine whether the moving figures we
could just doscry, were human workmen or
some lymph amphibeu of the Saurian peri-
od of old geological era‘. The indescribab]
novel and curious sensatiolis brooding over
one, while in the mine, are wonderfully aug-
mented by the candlelighted workers so
dimly seen in these far-off recesses, and if
our readers desire a really new and origin-
a] “ sensation,” we urge them, as we did, to
explore the fartbcrcst recesses of the first
very deep mine they can find.
A curious feature of this rock-mining to
the novice is, that the very pieces of quartz
you select, as most heavily charged with
flakes of geld, which already dazzle both
the eyes and the imagination, hare no gold
(rt-all in them! In fact, in the major portion
of the gold-bearing quartz, the p’articles of
gold with which it may be entirely permea-
ted, arc entirely invisible. These' bits of
mined quartz, after being borne to the sur-
face, are dumped into a slide, ending at the
terrific maw of huge crushing cylinders,
where it is broken and crushed to powder.
This powder is then run over wet aprons,
revolving at the ends, upon which, by the
introduction of a deposit of quicksilver and
a gentle flow of water, the gold particles
are attached to the sheets, and the sand and
powdered stone carried off in the wash.
This debris is worked over and over again,
until what escapes is so infinitcssimally
small that it would not pay even a China-
man to longer bother With it. , .. . ., .
Gratefully accepfihg several gifts of rich
specimens of gold and exquisitely beautiful
we visited in turn the Ophir, Empire and
other prominent mining establishments, all
within a radius of a few miles, and employ-
ing a capital of, and paying out annually in
dividends, many millions of dollars. In
our rides in and about Grass Valley, and
for miles before we approach the city, ' the
surface mining on all sides has changed the
very face of nature. There is scarce a square
rood in all that section that has not been '
spaded over, and in many places to a depth
of ten or fifteen feet. The toil, the hopes
deferred, the “ good luc ,” thedelirious sur-
prises and hopeless disappointments, sick-
ness and death, which hath followed every
shovclful of this upheavcd earth in the
days gone by, would as sadly mar and
wrinkle the personal histories of the earlier
miners, who did this vast amount of hard
work, as they themselves have wrought up-
on the fucc'of nature. ,
From Grass Valley friend Brady had us
driven to Nevada City, some six miles be-
yond, a thriving, well-to-do county scat city
grown rich and important from its mining
interests. Here are several hydraulic mines
of vast capital and marvelous development.
There is a greater novelty in this species of
mining than in the boring and blasting. An
immense body of water is conducted through

use, is sometimes almcst fabulous. In one
see a stream is canalled and fiumed sixty
miles and is owned by a joint stock compa-
ny with five millions of capital. It is no
unusual thing to see water conducted across
from one mountain side to another, over
valleys a hundred feet and more below the
encased fiumcs. In short, all California is
a land oi wonders and marvels and in this
chief minding section of the Grass Valley,
the eye and imagination are kept constantly
on the alert, by new and ever varying ap-
parent impossibilities. '
Returning again to our hotel at Grass
Valley late in the evening preparatory to
starting homeward in the morning, an inci-
dentoccurrcd worth the mention, as illus~
trating still further the triumph of modern
genius, in a matter of telegraphy. We step-
pod into the ofiice of the Western Union
Telegraph Co. and wrote off the following
despatch for Nor-walk :
“ How are all things at. home? Send rc-
ply to Promontory."
An evening pleasantly passed, viewing
cabinets of area, the beautiful Masonic
Lodge, built and filled up by Mr. Brady,
and over which for many years he presided
as Master—and when morning came,‘lhen
we took our seats again on the deck of the
stage coach for‘ the railroad, hornewm'd
bound. But added to our luggage wasa
crate of California Bartlett Pears, which
friend Brady had kindly and thoughtfully
added to our stores, and the smallest one of
which weighed overs. pound! Not a spear
of green grass was to be seen in all Grass
Valley, but everywhere and on all sides,
trees were breaking down under their bur-
dens of the most enormous sized apples and
peers; peaches, plums, and apricots were as
abundant in their season and equally aston-
ishing in size. '
We reached our train about noon, and af-
ter a considerable delay, owing to the large
quantities of custom-bound express matter,
we were again swiftly whirling back to the
East, and Home. ' We reached Promontory
about ten p. m.a and in the telegraph ofiicc,
(where it had lain most of the day), was a
reply to the despatch we had sent only a few
hours before, from the GAZETTE office, hav-
ing traversed twice across the continent and
brought us the good news of “ all’e well at
home." Such is the difference of modern
civilization and modern possibilities, over
the few years just past by, when the quick-
est letter and answer to and from the dear
ones at home, consumed six months in their
transmission. _ '
But we are rapidly rushing home again,
our hearts full of gratitude for the unexpcc
ted audieve'rywhere conspicuous courtesy,
kindness and hOspitnlity extended us all

Hon. Henry L. Dawes, of Mass, chair-
man of Committee on Appropriations, fired
a bomb-shell of retrenchment into the House
camp last week, in a speech boldly denounc-
ing the waste and extravagance notorious in
nearly every department of the Governm’t.
He has been variously assailed, but while
partizun zeal might have suggested more
evasion and subterfuge, the honest, toiling,
tax-paying masses of the American people
of all parties, will heartily thank him for his
fearless condemnation of the errors of his
own party. The tactics if the democracy
has always been to hide all wrong-doing,
and we see the effects upon them as a party
and upon the country.

Major Geo. W. Whistler, an American en-
gineer, died very suddenly, of hemorrhage of
the stomach, at Brighton, England. Major
Whistler was born at New London, Conn.,
and was about 50 years of age. He was en-
gineer on the Erie, and subsequently remov-
ed to Baltimore, where he married a daugh-
ter of Ross Winans. Becoming connected
with the firm of Winans Bros, they. built
the Moscow & St. Petersburg R. R. After
the completion of this work, he removed to
Frankfort-on—the—Main, where he resided
Sub-
sequently he returned to Russia, where he
remained until his health gave out, when he
removed to Brighton. He was a man of
large wealth and great liberality. During
our war he sent and paid for seven substi-
tutes to serve in the Union army (though
exempt himself). He was a frequent con-
tributor to Notes and Queries, and had pub-
lishcd an edition of the Tempest and of
some other of Shakespear’s plays with orig-
inal notes. He was for many years connect-
cd with the New York & New Haven Rail-
road, and was well and favorably known
throughout Connecticut. ,

in the chain . of railway commupication,
and give .us‘. at last the grand “ air line
route” from New York to Boston, a project
which has been “ under way ” since about
the year 1850. It seems that since the buil-
ding of the Boston, Hartford do Eric road,- it
is only necessary to bridge over a gap of fif-
ty-two miles, and in order to fill this gap,
the New Haven, Middletown & Williman-
tic Railroad company ” has been chartered
by the State of Connecticut, and is pushing.
forward the work with uncxampled energy.
When this road is completed the route from
New York to Boston will then be by New
York and New Haven line to New Haven,
thence by “ New Haven, Middletown 82;
Willimantic Railroad ” to Willimantic, and
from Willimantic by Boston, Hartford 85
Erie Road, which runs northeast on an a]-
most air line to Boston. The new route, as
will be seen, cuts off the unnecessary circuit
through Springfield, and effects a saving of
about twenty miles or ovcr one hour’s time
as compared to the present most popular
line of travel. -
This is about as near an approximation
to an “ air line” as the nature of the coun-
try will permit, and is claimed by the com-
pany to be over fifteen miles shorter “ than
any other possible route ” between the two
cities. For a large share of the passenger
travel between New York and Boston,
therefore, and for a considerable portion of
the through freight the “ New Haven, Mid-
dletown & Willimantic " line, is pretty se-
cure, while as it passes through. not less
than thirteen flourishing towns in the short
.span of fifty-two miles, its advantages for
local trafiic are no less conspicuous and cer-
tain.
The small loan which the company is no-
gotiating through Messrs. Hatch dz Foote,
of Wall street, will form but an insignificant
lien upon the vast revenues of the road.
A very natural inquiry on the part of the
public probably will be: How long before
the “grand air line route ” will be open?
In answer to this the company assure us
that, at the present rate of progress, its com-
pletion cannot be delayed beyond the Fail
or early winter of the current year. A]-
ready the grading and bridging on half the
line, between New Haven and Middletown,
are nearly finished, and the rails are being

To these three remedies Dr. J. H. Scbcnck ofPhila-
del his, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment
of gulmonic Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripons the morbid matter, discharges it. and purifies
the blood. The Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
remove all obstructions therefrom, give the organ 0
healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint, which is one
of the mostprominent causes of Consumption. The
Seaweed Tonic invigorates the powers ofthe stomach,
andbyestrcngthning the digestion and bringing it to
a normal and healthy cond tion improves the quality
of the blood, by which means the formation of ulcers
or tubercles in the lungs becomes impossible. The
combined action of these medicines, as thus explain-
ed, will cure every case of Consumption, if the reme-
dies arc used in time, and the use of them is pcrsc-
v'eredln sufficiently to bring the case to a favorable
termination. . .

In the minds of Railroad men, this route is the
natural line between the two Metropolitan Cities,be-
ing as nears straight line as the formation of the
country will admit: is'over 20 miles shorter than the-
present most popular route, and over 15 miles shorter-
than any other possible route.
The two lines of railroad between New Haven snot
Boston, via Springfield on the one side, and vieShore-
Line, three is New London, on the other are lines
traversing t e outer edges of a square, which the New
Haven, Middletow n and Willimsntie Railroad will
cut diagonal] . The position of each road is shown
in the follow ng diagram:
The old lines were originally constrr
tions, with the view of passing through
cities, rather than to form a direct
