"E IBI'I‘OBIA L CORRESPONDENCE K.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18th, 1870.
The present week in Congress has been
'of more than usual interest to Connecticut.
In the House Mr. Starkweather has nobly
acquitted himself in the interests of his peo-
ple, and indeed, of the whole nation, in the
matter of the New London Navy Yard. A
strong and growing feeling is being devel-
oped, favorable to the removal of the Brook-
lyn Yard to New London. It is a nuisance
to the growth and commercial development
of Brooklyn, and the people are desirous
that it should gather itself up and move
away. SO far as the national defences in
general are concerned and the protection of
New York in particular, it is of no possible
service, as at present located. The space is
so circumscribed _aud cramped, moreover,
as to leave no suflicient room for a yard,
while its value is so enormous that if sold
outright, it would doubtless fully cover all
outlays for completing a first-class yard at:
New London. A yard and naval station at
this point would hold the key to the. entire
Sound, and entirely protect New York
from the East, in the event of war with any
maritime power. In a conversation had
with Mr. Dawes, he expressed himself earn-
estly in favor of this project, on the scale of
economy, and would even go so far as to
make New London the one grand naval dc-
pOt of the country.
The. arguments Of Mr. Starkweather, be-
fore the Naval Committee, were cogent and
exhaustive. We append his points concer-
ning _
THE SITE ON THE THAMES.
If the Brooklyn yard is discontinued, the
government is not driven to the experiment
Of finding a better, nor is it subjected to the
extortion of speculators in its purchase.
For
1., It has already accepted, as a gift, from
the State Of Connecticut, a site upon the
Thames river, near New London, Connecti-
cut, and has taken an indefensible title there-
to, upon the express trust to adapt. it to na-
val uses, and upon it has already expended
an appropriation.
2. This site was accepted after a thor-
ough examination by a board of naval ofli-
cers and engineers (includin the engineer
of the bureau yards and doc s , who recom-
mended it as remarkably adapted to the
purpose. ,
3. It was also examined by order of the
House, by the committee on naval affairs-
of the 38th. congress, who, after personal in-
spection, and a hearing of all the facts and
arguments, recommended it as possessing
all the requisites of a great naval establish-
ment,
Among its many advantages may be brief-
ly enumerated the following:
1. One continuous mile of available wa-
ter front, with a channel adjoining of from
27 tO 36 feet in depth. ~
2. An adjoining basin or roadstead, with
good anchorage, ample to contain the whole
navy of the United States—a very import-
ant condition for a first-class naval station.
8. Easy access to and' from the ocean,
with a channel free from ice, fast or floating
at all seasons.
An ample area ofland, which can be
extended to meet any possible requirements
of the service.
5. The land is nearly a level plateau, at
an elevation sufficient to protect it from the
tide,ati‘ording heavy foundations for heavy
inperstructures, without the necessity of pi-
mg
6., Granlte and timber may be found in
abundance in the immediate vicinity, sufli-
cient for the construction of walls, docks,
and buildings of every description.
7. Railroads and steamboats connect the
site with the great sources of the supply of
ship timber, labor, and materials used in
such an establishment.
8. The location of the site, ssven miles
fI'Oin the mouth of the river, places it out ,of
the range of on known projectile, while
the presence Of orts Trumbull and Gris-
, wold, and a formidable water battery at the
entrance of the harbor, renders it not only
defensible, but already defended.
9. The protection of the city of New
York and its commerce is of paramount im-
portance. The location of the new yard
’must afford that protection, without its own
defence bein involved in that of the city.
The site at ew London happily answers
these conditions. It is nearly opposite the
entrance to Long Island sound from the
ocean. By this entrance New York is ex-
posed tO the approach of a hostile fleet from
the east. Long Island sound, with Gardi-
ner’s bay and adjacent waters, is a great
roadstcad, which once entered by an ene-
my’s fleet, would furnish anchorage and a
haven from which he could threaten the
cit of New York, and cut Ofi‘ the commerce
of ew England irom its accustomed mar-
ket. It was here that the British fleet lay,
during the war Of 1812, threatening our
whole coast line. This entrance, in the
event ofa naval war, must at all hazards
be kept invoilate. New London, by its
strategetic point, is the key to this gateway,
and the presence Of an adequate naval force
at the station on the Thames, within less
than an hour’s steaming, would, in the
judgement of eminent naval authorities, af-
ford the best possible security against the
lodcement of a hostile fleet in this cat nat-
ural roadstead. The defence of t is gate-
way contributes alike to the security of the
city and_station. But the loss of neither
necessarily involves the safety of the 'other.
In View of these considerations, it is sub-
mitted to Congress whether it is wiser to
continue the expenditure of large sums Of
money annually (the estimate for this year
being $800,000) upon a station which must
at no distant day be abandoned, or sell it at
once, and apply a small portion Of the pro-
ceeds toward establishing a site (already ac-
cepted) which possesses so many natural ad-
vantages, and at the same time affords that
protection to the commerce of New York
which its importance demands.
From what can be gathered by cursory
talks with members from various sections,
the New London site grows in favor in pro-
portion as members become informed of its
advantages. We consider the question Of
an early establishment of the nation’s chief
yard, there, as virtually settled.
Gen. Sherman gave a grand public recep-
tion a few evenings since which was largely
‘ attended by the beauty, dignity, and Official-
ly honored of the land. The Speaker’s re-
ceptions, every Friday evening are exceed-
ingly popular. 'Mrs. Grant’s afternoon re-
ceptions are more select and highly enjoy-
ed by the fair ones, who mainly attend.
The President’s levees are, as of yore, little
less than a bore, so intolerable is the jam of
palpitating humanity. ‘ ‘
Senator Buckingham is back in his seat
again and resolutely at duty. _
. Senator Ferry is earnestly engaged in secu~
ring the release from a Haylien prison, of
Capt. Davis Hatch, ofSouth Norwalk, who,
having been so unfortunate as not to be a
partisan of Baez, was seized and thrust in-
to prison, with an edict of death pronounced
upon him, &c. Through Senator Ferry’s
ofllces, Secretary Fish has ordered our Con-
sul General, at St. Domingo, to secure his
release, inasmuch as his original sentence to
death, had been changed to banishment
Dom the island, and yet he is confined in a
dungeon. The outrage upon Capt. Hatch
is of such gravity that it may yet require
the strong arm of our naval power to rescue
' him. Mr. Ferry is deeply interested in the
ease and resolutely determined to rescue
him, and if need be he will cause a resolu-
tion to be presented before Congress, order-
inglour naval forces to enter upon the island
and forcibly release him.
Gen. E. M. Lee has finally had to sue-
' cumb to the assaults of his enemies, and he
has gone, as Jim Fisk expresseth it, “ to
where the woodbine ‘twineth.” A military
gentleman with a strong Teutonic cogno-
mon, from Hartford, succeeds the Adonis
General, as Secretary of the virgin Territory
onyomlng. Net even the General's beau~
tiful hair could save him. Some Of his
friends, who profess intimate knowledge of
his specialties, recommend that the General
now move forward to Utah, where his fas-
cinating powers of body and mind may find
' less ofl‘ensive'development in the bosom of
the Mormon church.
. Gen. Van Wyck, after a hard and vexa-
tious struggle, has at last been voted to .ths
seat to which the honest voters of his dis-
trict elected him. The democratic canvass-
ers thought thqt had made the margin suffi-
cient,.but will have to add a few hundred
more next time. .
The news has now come in that the fif-
teenth amendment is fully ratified, and in a
few days the Secretary of State will issue
his proclamation. This will give our “ col-
ored brethren ” the right to vote in Conneca
ticut at the next election, and it will be
amusing to see the strife sure to arise be-
tween the democrats and republicans, as to
who shall have their votes. Henceforth
neither color or condition are to determine
American citizenship,but “ all men. shall be
free and equal.” The world moves, and
moves forward! ' B.

E” For some time past Dr. Asa Hill has
had an artist engaged at his rooms in paint-
ing pictures in marble, in order to show the
capabilities of his patent process—a process
of ornamenting marble entirely different
from anything before known. The Doctor
has now on exhibition at his office about a
dozen of thee exquisite pictures. The col-
ors are wonderfully bright and do not “run”
together or spread in the least, and the fin-
ish is ‘ better than paintings in Oil. The
Doetor’s discovery must prove one of great
importance.

Holiday, and they are to hold meetings with
the noble purpose Of trying to wake up the

save the fallen. In this town, all ofthe so-

held in both villages—this afternoon at

speakers from abroad. It is hoped that the
day will be generally observed, or at least
as a half-holiday, so that all classes in the

they will result in much good.

promoted by the meeting. During the four

83‘ Passing through Meriden on route to
Hartford, the eye of the traveler is arrested
by a new and beautiful residence on the
eastern, elevated suburb of that thrifty
young city. The new edifice was erected
by J. Wilcox, Esq, President of the Wilcox
Silver Plating Co., and the Wilcox Mfg Co.
of Meridcn. The house, like its owner, is a
little original. The latter is ’a first—class
specimen of the self-made Yankee man; the
former, unique and beautiful and in costli-
ness, we presume, is in advance of any oth-
er in the, State, with the single exception of
- theLockwood mansion here in Norwalk.
Its size is about 80x100, its walls Of Milwau-
kee cream colored brick, capped and trim-
med with Conn. red sand stone of the finest
qualities. It has a Mansard roof, with tow-
ers and turrets in keeping with its unique
design and in entire harmony with a rich
though in no wise gaudy exterior. The in-
terior of this dwelling is a model of com-
fortable convenience, and in its fitting up,
will be worthy the princely nature of those
who are to occupy it.’ This latter depart-
ment has been turned over to Messrs. Hub-
, bell &. Curtis, upholsterers and. furniture
men of Bridgeport, whose advertisement
may be found elsewhere in our columns.
Moreover, we have had personalcxperienge
with this firm, and speak knowingly when
we affirm that for honest work, fair dealing
and good taste, they have no superiors in
the country; We were indebted to them
much for the economy and good taste with
which our own house was fitted up. In the
upholstcring of the Wilcox house, howev-
er, this firm will have a fine opportunity to
exhibit their well recognized capacity for
combining costliness without gaudiness, in
fact, good taste is their forte. They are
building ahall-stand and hat-rack, for in-
stance, for this residence, which probably
has no equal in the country. It is twelve
feet high by thirteen wide, of mahogany,
walnut and Oak, elaborately wrought, and
decorated with side mirrors, bronzes and
carved figures, from which rise gas jets.
His parlor will be finished off in white por-
celain, striped with gold, and furnished in
the Grand Duchess and Marie Antoinette
order of furniture, in rosewood, gilt, medal-
lion centres. and heavy crimson satin reps.
His dining room is finished in oak, wal-
nut and mahogany. A costly and very elab-
orate side-board is being built by them to
fit an arched alcove, chairs of walnut with
swan neck rests and tan colored morocco
covers. His bed-steeds are Of the canopy
pattern, and built expressly for the respec-
tive rooms, Of rosewood, walnut, ebony and
gilt, as are also the'tables, chairs, and dress-
e'rs, to match. The window cornices, lam-
brequins, heavy satin damask curtains, &c.,
are also made by the Bridgeport firm, who
pride themselves upon employing the best
workmen and doing the best work done in
this country. A visit to their ware rooms
will well-repay one, and go far towards get-
ting the nonsense out of one’s head that “no.
good can come out of Nazareth.” We cer-
tainly feel a State pride in knowing that we
have such an establishment at our very
doors, and a degree of personal’gratitude
for what we have ourselves been able to en-
joy from their superior advantages, which
we have thus endeavored honestly and fair-
ly to make apparent. For first-class work
you can do better at Hubbell & Curtis’ than
in New York, Philadelphia or Boston.

THE CnEsArEARE AND Omo RAILROAD
COMPANY, have their line in successful oper-
ation from Richmond on to the White Sul-
phur Springs, West Virginia—a distance of
227 miles—and‘the cash value of this com-
pleted and working portion of the road is
estimated at, at least $15,000,000. With a
view to the prompt extension of the line
through to the Ohio river, at or near the
mouth of the Big Sandy river, a further
stretch~Of about 200 miles (of which exten-
sion a considerable portion has already been
constructed), the Company have decided to
offer through their financial agents, Messrs.
Fisk & Hatch, $15,000,000 of a Thirty-Year
First Mortgage Loan, protected by .the
pledge of their entire road, property, fran-
chises, &c., through to the Ohio river. The
mortgage will cover all the obligations of
the Company, whose oufstanding indebted-
ness consists only of $1,688,757 in miscella-
neous bonds on portions of the Old Virginia
Central Railroad (which now forms a part
of the Chesapeake and Ohio), and a small
obligation to the State of Virginia, for the
payment of which provision has already
been made in Virginia State Bonds. The
outstanding bonds of the Virginia Central
Road will be provided for by a reservation
Of $2,000,000 of the First Mortgage Loan of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Company: and of
the remaining $13,000,000 of this First
Mortgage Loan, the Company will sell only
an amount sufficient to complete the road
to the Ohio river, perfect and improve the
portion now in operatioii, and thoroughly
equip'the whole for the large, active, and
very lucrative traffic which may be confi~
dently looked, for as the inevitable conse-
quence of the opening of this important
Trunk Line of communication between the
seaboard and the Ohio river. The bonds of
the Loan are of the denomination of $1,000,
$500, and $100 respectively, and are issued
in three different forms: 1. Coupon bonds
payable to bearer; 2. Registered Bonds,
with Coupons attached ; and 8. Registered
Bonds with Coupons detached, which forms
are explained in the prospectus of the Loan
which appears on' another page of this pa-
per. Both principal and interest of the
' Loan are made payable expressly in gold
coin in the City of New York. The Bonds
yield interest at the rate of six percent. per
annum, in gold. They are offered for the
present at 90'per cent. and seemed interest,
in currency from Nov, 1, 1860. Secured as
the loan is by an absolute lien on the
entire line of railroad from Richmond
to the Ohio river, with its equip-
ment and all , other property, and
by the additional guarantees afforded
by the eminentlyresponsibleBoard Of Man-
agement and Financial Agency of the Com-
pany—including the names of some of our
most successful business men, bankers and
railroad builders—the First Mortgage Bonds
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com-
pany can be commended as constituting a
first-class, reliable, and profitable form Ofin-
vestment.

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER CURED.
WAL-rnAn, Mum, Nov. 12, 1868.
My grandmother and several aunts and cousins
died 0 consumption. My mother bad a cancer; I was
taken with a bad cou h which had afi'ected me 18
months; 12 months a ter my cou h commenced, can-
cers began in both breasts, whic ew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps n both breasts.
In this state I called on you with but little hope, as
both my lungs were afi‘ectcd, and a cancer in each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
which would destroy me first. I had suffered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
te’d cancer mineral sprin water have wholly cured
me. I have been perfect y well fortwo months; no
can b or expectoration; no swelling in my breasts;
no ifyspepsis; no sin or snfi‘ering. Everywhere I
am strong and ab e to perform all my duties. I took
medicines four months.
Thankfully yours.

The remarkable success which attended our nego-
tiation of the loans of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company and the Western Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny. and the popularity and credit which these Loans
have maintained in the markets, both in this country
and Europe, have shown that the First Mortgage
Bonds of wisely-Yocated and honorably-managed
Railroads are promptly recognized and readily taken
as the most suitable. safe, and advantageous form of
investment, yielding a more liberal income than can
hereafter be derived from Government Bonds, and
available to take their place.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, connecting the
Atlantic coast and the magnificent harbors of the
Chesapeake Bay with the Ohio River at npomt of re-
liable navigation, and thus, with the entire Railroad
system and water transportation of the great West
and South-west, forms the additional East

manded for the accommodation of the immense and
rapidly-growing transportation between the Atlantic
sea-board and Europe on the one hand, and the
great producing regions of the Ohio and Mississippi
Valleys on the other. » '
The Importance otthis Road as a new
outlet from the West to the sen magnifies
it into one of national consequence, and insures to it
an extensive through trade from the day of its com-

Its superiority as an East and We'st route, and the
promise of an immense and profitable trade awaiting
its completion, have drawn to it the attention and
co-Operstlon of prominent Capitalists and Railroad
men of this city of sound judgment and known in-
tegrity, whose connection with it, together with that
of eminent citizens and business men of Virginia and
West Virglnia, Insure. an energetic, honor-
able, and successful management.
The Road is complete and in operation from Rich-
mond to the celebrated White Sulphur Springs of
West Virginia, 227 miles, and there remain but 200
miles, (now partially constructed) to be completemto
carry it to the proposed terminus on the Ohio river
at, or near, the mouth of the Big Sandy river, 150
miles above Cincinnati, and 860 miles below Pitts-
burg.
Liaes are now projected or in progress through
Ohio and Kentucky to this point, which will connect
the CHESAPEAKE & OHIO WITH THE ENTIRE
RAILROAD SYSTEMS OF THE WEST AND
SOUTH-WEST, AND WITH THE PACIFIC BAIL-
ROAD. .
Its valuable franchises and superior advantages will
place the Chesmeake and Ohio Railrostompnny
.among the richest and most powerful and trustworthy
corporations of the country; AND THERE EXISTS
A PRESENT. VALUE, IN COMPLETED ROAD
AND WORK DONE, EQUAL TO THE ENTIRE
AMOUNT OF THE MORTGAGE.
The details of the Loan have been arranged with
special reference to the wants of all classes of invest-
ors, and combine the various features of convenience.

They have thirty years to run from January 15,
1370, with interest at six per cent. per annum from
November 1, 1869. Principal and Interest payable in
Gold in the city of New York. \
The interest is payable in M oy and November, that
it may take the place of the earlier issues of Five-
Twentios, and suit the convenience of our friends
who already hold Central'and Western Pacific Bonds,
with interest payable in January and J nly, and who
may desire, in making additional investments, to
have their interest receivable at different seasons of
the year.
The Loan is secured by a mortgage upon the entire
Line of Road from Richmond to the Ohio River, with
the equipment and all other property and appurten-
ances connected therewith.
A Sinking Fund of $100,000 per ammo is provided
for the redemption of the Bonds, to take effect one
year after the completion of the Road.
The mortgage is for $15,090,000, of which $2,003,000
will be reserved and held in trust for the redemption
of outstanding Bonds of the Virginia Cnntral Ratl-
road Company, now merged in the Chesapeake and
