Death of the (Rev. Professor Ed-
win Hall, D. 1).
Although the large body of the friends of
this, venerable and distinguished man both
in this and other places, were aware of his
greatly impaired health and vigor, yet; the
announcement of his sudden death, which
took place at an early hour this Saturday
' '. morning, 8th inst, will be received as a start-
ling, as well as deeply lamented, event.
He retired to rest last evening at his usual
hour, after a day spent in driving out and in
pleasant conversation with friends, and drop-
ped quietly asleep. -' About eleven o'clock he
waked with a sense of pain and oppression to
tile chest which rapidly developed into a con-l
gestion that resisted any attempts at relief,
- 3&ndiualittle over an heur proved fatal. , IIe '
was apparently conscious from the first, of
the decisive nature of the attack, and said to
his family that they could do nothing for
. .him. Without any severe suffering and pre-
serving his consciousness to the last, he ex-
pired peacefully at about half past one
o'clock.
He had lived for along time in the‘ calm
and habitual expectation of death. With
his sight impaired almost to the extent of
blindness, hisarticulationsomewhatalfected,
and-his 'cotiunandof hislimbs much .dimin-
ished,he continued cheerful and happy to
the end. The final summons was abrupt,
and did not come to him as a thief in the
night. "(He has‘left' the conviction with all
who knew him that no man lived more in a
state of censtant readiness for the coming of
his Lord.
Dr. Hall removed to this city, from his
pastoral charge in N o'rwalk, Conn., where he
had exercised along and honored ministry,
in the year 1855, having been called to the
chair of theology in the Seminary, made va-
cant by the resignation of Rev. Dr. Long.
He, brought: with him a high reputation as a
sound divine of the best Newangland type,
a vigorous writer and coutroversialist, and a
successful pastor ,and teacher. Repeated
overtures had been made to him from time to
timeto occupy other important positionsanlong
others a large church and a professorship in
a great Western city, and-the charge of the
American chapel in Paris; all of which he
_ declined. His great interest in scientific the-
ology, and his Sense of the value of the The-
ological Seminary in this place, induced him
at length to relinquish the pastoral ofliee in
. which he had been so long happily engaged,
for the Professor’s chair. He felt it to be a
most important object fully justifying the
change, to vindicate the true interpreta-
tion of the Evangelical theology, and show
that-the two great Schools of opinion in the
Presbyterian church were in real and even‘
intimate acco:.l. '
He greatly honored the confessional sym-
hols of his church, and diligently instilled
into the minds of his students the spirit and
the text of the Assembly’s'Catechism, .No
better indoctrinated, or more Scriptural] y
grounded divines have ever gone out from
any Theological School, than the members of
the twenty classes trained by Dr.‘ Hall.
In the performance of his duties in the Sem-
inary, Dr. Hall was a model of conscientious
fidelity. It' was by the rarest. accideni: that
he was ever wanting from his place in the
class-room or the chapel. His unvarying
punctuality was a continual lesson to all with
whom he was associated. . He was pro-emi-
nently an honest, upright, independent-mind-
ed man; never failingof the courage of. his
opinions; sternly resolute in defending what
he held to be truth, but not without a gener-
ous charity tomamomhaumgnrumcr:

and intimate walk with God. .His name will

The Episcopal Church in Norwalk.
The GAZETTE, intending to be impartial in
its religious and denominational articles 9nd
items, and having recently published a histo-
ry'of the First Congregational Society, gives
the following notes respecting the history __of
the Episcopal Church in Norwalk, as found
in “The Ancient Historical Records of Her-
walk,”'compilcd in 1847, (thirty years ago)
by Rev. Edwin Hall, D. D. then and. for
many years, pastor of the First Congregation-
al Church. , _-
The GAZETTE will gladly receive additions
or cori'cctions. '
On pages 168—176 we find this resume,
which, Dr. Hall says, “was furnished by a
member of the Episcopal Church, and by
him derived from the most authentic sources
in possession of the church.” ' .
“Tim Errseorsr. Cannon, Sr. PAUL’S PAR—
Isrl, was incorporated in 1737, and a small
building erected‘which was afterwards con-
verted into a parsonage, and a'largcr one, 55x
42 feet, was erected in 1743. , In 1779,, this
was burnt, together withthe. town of ,Npr-
‘walk, by Gen. Tryon; but, in>1780, when the
people had been impoverished and scattered
by this disaster, and the removal of theilgjpas-
- ton-the Parishe‘rected a- temporary church
edifice ; and in 1785, rebuilt upon'the former

FACTS AND INCIDENTS

REBEL GENERALS.
[Concluded flom last week]
i ? "Well, Mr. N., now that you have made an
honest effort to remove sectional prejudices
;and' allay the passions excited by the war,
will you not proceed to give us the sketches
fol-notes of
> " can? mm m 'rnu STONEWALL BRIGADE P"
- '. , “Certainly. I remember an interesting and
characteristic incident occurred on the march
to‘ Romney, in the early spring of ’61. '
Before any other General would have
thought of leaving winter quarters and while
the ground was covered with snow and sleet,
girders came from the new General (after-
sagas brevetted Stonevval ‘Jackson, to move,
:0ut‘from camp on the rec leading to Rom-
ney. f ' .
After a wearysome and freezing tramp over
,sleety and dangerous mountain passes we
.were ordered to halt-for fthe night in a wood
éwitbout tents or any. thing. to protect our-
selves from the wintry storm then pelting our
.defenceless heads. To the tenderly reared
fund uninitiated “chivalry,” who were eager
for the “imminent and deadly breach,” but
‘WllO had not bargained tobe frozen to death,
tosuch unfledged heroes the cruelty of their
new commander was unprecedented and in-
tolerable. .
.. [After passing the night in that ‘unhealthy’
Tsitu‘ation, and while men were crowding
.f'around their camp fires, vainly trying to thaw
gtireir nearly frozen «limbs, if the General
:had passed unobserved'sl'ouud those camp-
ifli'es, he would have heard. “curses deep if
.ndtf‘loud,” uttered against him.
:; .One of; our men observed, “It is all very-
fine for ofilcers to undertake these winter
fmdrches’flor" they can find a warm bed, and
shelter in some rich. man’s house; but if our
General had 'to endure what: we are suffering,
he would not have undertaken this march.”
As this‘speaker finished, a man from head-
quarters came up and said, “Boys, you ought
to goitp yonder and look at the General,"
pointing towards a line of fence, not very far
off. -
Some of them ranto a ponition where they
eould see the spot indicatedgtnd there was the
chief commanding ofilcer, .
annual. JACKSON, on ms xuass,
brushing, with both hands“, the snow and ice
from his frozen hair. His luxurious couch-
had been two fence rails, in the corner of a
fence, with nothing but a blanket to shelter
him from the-storm. After this we heard no
more complaints, while he was in command,
at the hardships and exposures we had to en-
dure.
. This habit of sharing, alike with his sol:
diers, all theprivations of camp life was main- .
tained throughout the war. Indeed his adju-
tant General has stated it as his conviction
that his death was no doubt occasionedby a
cold contracted by him in sleeping without
his blanket. .2 '_ . . .
This occurred in thiswise :— ‘ 5
He had been lying down sometime, when
ohe of his staff, who had just returned from
a cold ride, was going to retire for the of ht
without any covering. The General wai ed
until he had fallen asleep, and then quietly
took his oWn'blunket and threw it over him.
He then went to sleep without his usual pro-
tection and contracted a cold which termi-
nated in Pneumonia, a few days after he was
wounded. This, (the disease) co-operating
with the exhaustion from his wounds, was
the cause of his death.
Whllc'rcfcrringto-hia—death it may not be
generally known that‘ General Jackson was
SHOT BY ms owx max
and by hisown: orders.
The accident occurred while reforming his
command, for a second charge upon the flank,
of the Federal forces at the Wilderness. Ow.
ing to the dense undergrowth in that locality
and the impetnosity of some of thetroops our'
forces had: become scattered and in riding
along the lines to see that they were all form-i
ed, he gave oidgs if any persons appeared in
their front they Ewere to be instantly shot.
This order was‘g'iven whilehe was riding in
the rear of our lines and before it was dark.
on returning, strangely enough, (after his
own orders that any one appearing in their
front should the shot) he himself rode along-
the front afoul- lines. So long as it was light
enough for cur-men to recognize his staff they
moved unchallenged. But it will be remain-2
bered by thoséengaged in that battle, that we -_
did not makcthe second advance on the right
flank until it was quite dark. So soon there-
fore as it became so dark that our men could
not recognize the General and his staff, in
obedience to his orders they fired upon them,
wounding nearly- his whole-staff. ' v
Severe airve‘ré the wounds, then received,
but for thedetielopmeut 0f the disease already
alluded to his surgeons believed he would
have reCOvered. His deuth‘w'as, therefore the
result of 3 ' ‘ . ‘ ~
AN ACT or ouuuxous sum-sloamou.
There are mafiy instauccs’in which he show-
ed the tenderest regal-(lifel- the-lives and health
of others, Awhileaipparentlyreckless of all dan-
ger and haznrdztto himself. .-.-I know that at
first we were‘disposedto complain at the ten-
acity with which‘hc heldhismen toany post,
at any cost of human life, ‘ lutimc of battle.
And it was with a grim significance that We,
on this account, began to speak of him as old
Stonewall Jackson. But we learned before
long, that his heart was as tender as it was
brave, as considerate of Others as it was un-'
mindful of the risk, when duty demanded the
sacrifiCe. I
I offer a characteristic illustration of this in
a Case where I was one of the actors. It was
a trivial incident in itself but as it is character-
istic it will serve a good purpose.
At the battle of'McDowell, while Jackson
wasfe'eling the position ofthe enemy and con-
siderably in advance of '. our main line, I in
company with one of o'ursurgeons, rode very
close to the position occupied by the Federals,
too close, as the general thought, for our safe-
ty; whereupon he dispatched one of hlB aids,
with orders to ' ‘ ’ ‘ '3
.‘ .3: ADVISE us or ' our; amour
and t0 suggest that the interest of our com-
mand‘s‘ would be more ellieientgly served if we
would seek a place (if greater safety.
ijfeourse I do not give hisfexaet language.
Brit the message was as impressive for its
courtesy and kindness as for its military con-
cisen'e‘ss. Nor did the warning ’come too soon,
for although we at once'turned back and had
moved some distance towards our own line a
overeat heads wounding one of our' officers
who was then but a few steps from me.
Meanwhile the General himself was several
hundred yards in advance of our position,
nemerto, and in full view of the enemy. He
undone of his staff being then" (that is after
our return to our lines) the only confederatcs
_3 visible to the Federals who, had they known
the general, might have easily shot him. But,
as both parties were taking advantage of the
dense woods about McDowell to hide their
movements, asiconeealment of their position
was of more importance than the lives of one
or two ragged Rebels, they allowed the un-
known General to sit out on the broad road-
side in full view and easy range, rather than
to reveal their position by firing upon him.
There he sat in the very jaws of death, at the
mouth of both musketry and cannonas calm-
as if at dinner, with no sensibility to his own
danger, yet quickly
su‘nsrrrvu or 'rnu DANGER
to which I was needlessly exposing myself,
by following him.
Of course after that I could never enter
shell"was thrown so that it' exploded just.
tain any doubts of his tender and sensitive re-
gards for the lives of his soldiers. '
J ackson's coolness and adroitness, in the
presence of new and unexpected contingen-
cies, were as remarkable as his quick consid-
eration for the lives of those of his command,
At Port Royal, when his head quarters
were some distance from our army and on the
opposite side of ‘the river, General Shields’
advance cavalry got posession of the bridge
and town, cutting him off completely from
his command. The General deliberately rode
from_the far end of the village, through the
Federal soldiers, giving orders to suit himself
and, on reaching the bridge ordered those who
were commanding the artillery there, not to
fire till he returned and then lode quietly
through the bridge to his command.
I too, wassimilarly cut off from my com-
mand and within a stones throw of the Gen-
era], when he performed this feat ; but not
having his genius for solving such difficult
problems, I contented myself by srtting quiet-
ly down confident that in a few moments I
would rccieve an invitation and a
FREE PASS 'TO THE OLD CAPITOL PRISON.
But matters'grew'so serious for the “boys in
blue ” as they saw the “ boys in grey” come
swarming over the hills, 0. whole army of
them, against a few advance cavalry men,
miles ahead of any supports; so serious and
sharp was the on—‘rush that the “ blue coats "
had to look out for themselves,instead. of look-
ing for prisoners; and in this way, 1:. e.(in the
hurry of a quick savanna and a quicker re-
treat) your humblc servant - escaped capture.
But the sequel prevcd that I Only postponed
the trip to Prison to a future day. Nor did the
Federal cavalry have time to solve the ques-
tion as to who the mysterious officer was, that
ordered them'notto fire and then.went_ over
to the enemy. - .
Perhaps General Shields does not know, to
this day, how nearly he came to cutting ofi
the “ right arm ” of the confederacy, at Port
Royal. No one was to blame; since no one
guessed that 3
STONEWALL JACKSON was JOKING
with them, while everybody else was as} seri-
ous as death.
But this was not the only joke perpetrated
by him at the expense of the Federals. The
trap, that 'Was set to hem his command in be-
tween two forces at Port Royal, went off too
soon. That is, the force coming up in our
rear from Harper’s Ferry, brought Jackson
to bay too soon for General Shields to unite
in the battle and attack us in the rear. So
that Banks’ forces were so far repulsed and
demoralized by the battle of Port Republic
that" they allowed us to cross the ,bridge
which Shields or Fremont was expected to
burn,and to get our whole force over without
even firing a gun at us until we had all cross-
ed and burnt the bridge. We were thus en,
abled to fight Shields without any one in our
rear to “disturb or make us afraid.”
Being thus allowed to fight these two forces
in detail, his task was so far lightened as to
leave him leisure to perpetrate a '
Joxn upon m umox roncus
in anotherquarter.
Having stopped the pursuit of the forces
under Banks, by burning the bridge, Jackson
left a' very small fofee to threaten Shields,
and started with all the rest of his command
for—nobody knew or could guess, where.
One of his‘most intimate friends desiring to
relieve hismind as to his destination, rode
up to the General and in a low whispgr asked
if he would not give him some idea as to
where he was going. The General in the
same confidential manner asked him if he
could keep a secret. “Oh, yes,” said the
friend 3_ “So can I,” said the General. . . .-.
; His highest omccrs knew nothing of his
plans in advance. Our command was now
marching towards Staunton, Va, whereas
our destination was exactly in the opposite
direction, as appeared (after everybody had
march, tho.’ on another road, towards Rich-
mond.
I learned from a prisoner taken soon after
our arrival at this place, the following inci-
' dent.
He, in company with others, were discuss-
‘ing the military status of the two armies for
the campaign then opening. This was at the
outermost picket post of General McClellan’s
forces in front of Richmond. One of the
party was discussing the
in...» run run nuns ear to caron aroun-
wsu. JACKSON
tn the valley. “Here,” said he, “is the line‘
representing Banks’ match up the Willy,"—
marking one side of a trianglewith his
sword in the dust, “and here is the course of
General Shields with some of Fremont s
and some of McDgwcll’s forces,”—making
another side of a triangle, representing their
march up the Shenandoah Valley—“Just
here," said he, planting his sword at the
point where the two lines of the triangle
met, “Right here, at Port Royal, is Stone-
wall Jackson's command—exactly where we
want him, between two fires. He’ll be bag-
ged this time, boys, there’s no help for him.”
The speaker had just time to finish this
pretty little speech, greatly to the relief of
those who had learned to dread Stonewall’s
way of suddenly appearing where he was
least expected—when a shell, thrown from
the .
BATTERY or run STONEWALI. BRIGADE,
fell plump in the triangle where they had
represented the said brigade as being captur-
ed by General Banks.
You can imagine the surprise of the party"
that had thus mentally put Jaeksouin a bag
in charge of Gen. Banks, sixty miles away——
when they found themselves bagged by the
advance guards, of his command.
Our brigade had fought two battles with
different armies and marched over seventy
miles .before any of the Federal authorities
had. time to decide where the ubiquitous
Jackson intended to strike.
Read the following dispatches received by
Gen. McClellan from President Lincoln, and
you will see, in the light of the above inci-
dent, that this
JOKE WAS AS °SERIOUS AS IT WAS SURPRISXNG
to all the Federal authorities.
In the dispatch dated May 24th, the Presi-
dent says: “I wish ydu to move cautiously
and safely. You will have command of Me-
Dowell precisely as you indicated in your
dispatch to us.” A pause—then: “In con-
sequence of Gen. Banks’ critical position
(running away from Stonewall) I have been
compelled to _ suspend Gen.’ McDowell’s
movement to join you. The enemy (Jack—
son) are making. a desperate push upon Har—
per’s Ferry, and we are trying to throw Gen.
Fremont’s force and part of Gen. McDowell’s
in their rear." '
On the 25th of the same month the Presi-
dent dispatches to Gen. McClellan: “The en.
emy is moving north in suflicient for to
drive Banks before him; precisely in bat
force we cannot tell. He is also threatening
Leesburg and Geary on the Manasscs Gap
Railroad from north and south ; ‘I think the
movement is a general and concerted one—
sucb (here rs the joke) as would. not
not be if he was acting upon the purpose of
a very desperate defence of Richmond. I
think the time is near when you must either
attack Richmond or give up the job and
come to the defence (another joke) of Wash—
lngton. Let me hear from you instantly.”
To which Gen, McClellan replied: “Tele-
gram received. Independently of it, the
time is very near when I shall attack Rich-
mond. 'The.object (note this) of the move-
ment ( f. e. Jackson’s) is probably to prevent
reinforcements being sent to me, etc.”
TRUE, "‘errtu MAO ;”
you are vindicated by this last sentence. If
been misled) by a sudden order to counter- '
Iing,” replied the other.
McClellan’s advice had‘been heeded Jackson
would have been decoyed. still further from
Richmond, and without Jackson, Richmond
would have fallen before McClellan. In-
stead of McClellan’s being flanked by Jack-
son, Lee would have been flanked by Me
Dowel], while Jackson would have been em-
ployed in the valley of Virginia, perpetrating
some famous joke or creating some false
alarms in Washington, such as the foregoing
dispatches show he could 7 create if occasion
required. ’ '
Going back a little’inthe order of events,
we have to observe that this rapid rate of
military maumvering was not executed with-
out a serious loss to Jackson’s little army.
In the fierce skirmish between Gen. Banks’
advance and our rear guard beyond Harrison-
burg and just before the battle of Port Re-
public, the gallant Gen. Ashby was killed.
At that time there wasno man in the cav-'
accepted as a substitutei'for Ashby. He was
to our command what: Slackson was to Lee,
the ’ 1 ' '
RIGHT Ann or oua'sramvsm- _ i
formed for union and in that union more than
in Providence, perhaps, we had come to
depend for our success: f .
When the news camo‘to Jackson that Ash
by was dead, he seemed paralyzed and crush-
ed by the blow. He l'efchis barium
and for the first time,.Ii behave, went to a
private house and asked 'if he could have a
room for the night. In, the morning when
they went up to. his room to call him to
breakfast they found no one there, although
from certain sounds in ,the room during the
night they knew that he had remained there
until the morning. He had taken nothing to eat
at tea. The bed clothes had not been turned
down, and there was no sign of his having
laid down, or indeed, of his having touched
the bed at all except in one spot. They ex-
as if made by two elbows while kneeling at:
the bedside. This circumstance, connected
with the sound of his voice heard at intervals
during the night, convinced the officer who
often ocbupied the same tent with him and
knew his habits, that he had
SPENT THE NIGHT IN PRAYER.
This officer, his chief commissary, thought
that under extraordinary circumstances of
trial or suffering, Jackson often spent the
whole night in prayer. V '
His soldiers knew that, before every en-
gagement, their beloved :commander had
sought'the omnipotent aid of the God of bat-
tles. They therefore came to feel that, with
him as their leader,,_ they were invincible.
His piety exalted his patriotism so that in
him they looked for inspirations from infal-
lible wisdom. His voice, as that of Moses to
the Israelites, seemed'like a message from
Heaven to them, and none dared to murmur
or falter in following him. This, in a word,
was the secret of his success. He was a
mum of Prayer. ;' ‘
_ His piet as even more conspicuous than
his military abilities. Not that he had any
of the cant or pietism of modern phariseeism.
He did not parade his heart secrets before
the public, nor‘ blow a‘ trumpet over. his
frames and feelings as a testimony to reli-
gion. His prayers, returning, struck down
deeper into his life, restraining and purifying
his feelings towards his fellow men, regulat-
ing his actions by the strictest rules of jus.
tiec, and impressing others-with something
of that silent yet eloquent sphere of holiness
that beamed forth from the brow of Moses,
ashc came down from the modnt of holy
communion. As far as his influence extend-
v
'ed religion was respected; “His chaplains
were his associates and friends, and every.
measure proposed by them for the spiritual
well-being of the army received his hearty
sanction and support. Hence .in the valley
of Virginia, war, however demoralizing it:
may have been {elsewhere to many, with us,
it was
A MESSENGER or MERCY.
So that, higher even than in the temple of
Mars the name of Stonewall J ackson will be in-
scribed in the temple of Mercy, by many
immortal souls saved by his influence.
Cromwell’s Ironsides tells a similar but not
so striking a story of religion in camp life.
From the fall of 1862 till the close of the
'war, a revival spirit pervaded the entire
. army inVirginia.
This spirit had
no use CENTER IN JACKSON’S COMMAND,
its vitality we believe, in the prayers of its
beloved general.
Through his influence Generals Ewell,
Hood, Longstrect, Ponder, R. H. Anderson,
Rodgers, Paxton,'Bell, and doubtless many
others were induced to consider and accept
the Christian religion as their rule of faith
and practice. Chaplains often numbered
their audiences by the thousands and their
converts by the hundreds. 'As many as five
hundred enquirers professed interest in reli-
gion at one time. Whole brigades would lis-
ten to preaching without interruption during
a cold rain that froze as it fell. Under like
trying circumstances one chaplain saw more
than a. .
noznu ulna-roorun
soldiers standing around him whie he was
preaching. At the battle of Cross Keys,
the battle opened in the midst of a religious
meeting. A shell exploded in our midst
while we were assembled for worship, and a
brisk artillery battle was in full blast, in the
second Manassas campaign. The night be-
fore the last battle of this campaign I was
taken prisoner, but the officer then in com-
mand of my brigade (Stonewall) quietly noti-
fied his men that there would be a prayer
meeting that night, and I afterwards learned
that nearly all our men attended, though. well
‘nigh exhausted from fatigue and fasting;
The next day our commander fell in battle
and by his side the man who led the worship
on the eve of that fatal day.

Thus while grim-visaged war was enacting
its terrible tragedies of blood and bereave-
ment on the great national arena, before the
footlights; behind this scene of carnage and
of death, angelswere celebrating fresh tri-
umphs over the powers of darkness, in the
salvation of many precious souls and in honor
of the Prince of Peace.

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT,-TUESDAY, SEPT. .18, 1877.
° Brutal, Journalism.
_ Hon. Kenneth Raynor, of North Carolina,
and at present Solicitor of the Treasury, at
‘Washington, recently, in a sudden impulse of
indignant passion, struck in the face, a crea-
ture hired to edit the Washington Republi-
cm, named Soteldo. At the trial for assault,
to which Soteldo hurried the Judge, although
vastly his superior in size and physical
strength, the latter craved the privilege of
making an explanation to the court. He
said that Soteldo called upon him not long
since and urged that the prosecution against
one John A. Grow, on a charge 'of forging
Treasury warrants, should be discontinued.
“I talked to him,” says the solicitor, “very
calmly and politely, and said that file matter
was beyond my control, and if I were to issue
such order to the district attorney I took it
for granted he would pay no sort of attention
to it. He (Soteldo) then said with consider-
able excitement, that ‘thc press would take
notice of this sort of thing and would be
down upon~you all,’ or ‘would expose you
all.’ My reply was: ‘Wcll, you publish my
written opinion, and you may come down as
soon'as you please.’ He then left apparently
displeased. As soon as the opinion was
given Soteldo commenced a series of oflEcn-
sive and provoking attacks upon me through
the columns of the Republican. In Monday
morning} issue appeared another of these of-
fensive allusions-t0 thyse1r:vr'has'e”yoar:
honor will duly appreciate the awkward un-
pleasantness of my position. To attack him
involved an encounter with one of superior
strength and vigor. I had no money to spare
with which to buy his silence, and to bear‘ it
required more patience and forbearance than
(unfortunately for me) I possess. I have
never wronged this man by word or deed. I
could not see how our interests clashed, and
only a few weeks before he had published a
complimentary defense of myself." Mr.
Rayner concluded as follows: ‘3‘ Your Honor
will please bear in mindthat: for simply doing.
my duty as a faithful officer of the govern-
ment, for simply complying with the require-
ments of my oath, I have been hunted and
hounded until further 1 forbearance became
more than human infirmity could exercise,
and I had to take redress in my ' own hands
and to become a law unto myself. One of
the crying evils of the times is that a portion
of the newspaper press, of which the Repub-
lican, since it has been under the editorial
management of the prosecutor: in this case,
is a true type, afford a sad commentary upon
the so-called liberty of the press. It: vitu-
peration, detraction and scurrility, its assaults
upon private character and its aspersions
upon private relations and private pursuits
are palpable and notorious. I stand here
contending for the sanctity of home and the
dearest relations of life, against the prying
interference of defamation and scandal,
against the purient and vitiated panderings
to depravity, unfit to enter to enter the doors
of the cultivated and refined. The journal;
ist who pursues noble ends by 'noble means
should be honored and respected. _But if he
perverts-the-profession of journalism to sub—
serve base, corrupt and malicious objects, he
thereby brings reproach upon his calling and
deserves the scorn and contempt of every
respectable journalist in the land. tand
here as the representative of an honest and
independent discharge of official duty, struck
at, worried, annoyed, insulted-until finally
driven by desperation to vindicate my own
self-respect and manhood. It was this, or
allow myself to hdriven ignominonsly from
my official station at the dictation not of a
high-toned, honest and independent press,but
of those who bring reproach and discredit
upon the honored name 0f the press. I- feel
that I stand arraigned before the bar of pub-
lic opinion, and to that public opinion I up
peal for justice. To the father of every fam-
ily, the altar of whose household gods is
desecrated by the disgusting ribaldry of the
Ishmaelites of the press—I appeal. To every
honest and faithful oflicial in the public ser-
vice, who will not sell his conscience to the
scandal-mongering pimps,that deal in garbage
--I appeal. To every worthy and respectable
representative of the press, who wishes jour-
of seourging vice and corruption, and of ele-
vating honesty and integrity in oflice—I ap-
peal. And nowI submit to the judgment
of the court.” » .
The Bridgeport Standard thus delineates
the Soteldo, starting him out from Fort
Trumbull. After leaving Connecticut, and
before his engagement on the Washington
paper, 'he was connected with what was
denominated a black-mailing sheet in New
York, called the Free Lance. The Standard
says :—
Soteldo, the journalist (?) who was assault-
ed by Judge Raynor, in Washington, is a
South American, of handsome person and
fine physical development. The pluck of the
old judge in attacking so muscular a black-
guard deserves credit and is worthy of mi-
tation. Soteldo made his appearance upon
the public stage as a private soldier in the
regular army stationed at Fort Trumbull.
His proficiency in base ball brought him into
notice and he was taken into tlfe Pequot
club of New London and his discharge from
the army somehow brought about. He dis-
tinguished himself as an athlete considerably
and inaugurated that bullying of the umpire
in match games, which often succeeded bet-
ter than good playing. After having flour-
ished as first-baseman he gladuated into the
the New York Sun, and as Albany corres-
pondent of that amiable and honorable sheet,
was detected in dishonest and cowardly prac-
tices for which he was kicked out of his
place and subsided for a time from public no-
tice. He hascome to the surface again in a
characteristic role, and if he had only been
decency and honorable journalism would
have been all the better subserved.
' Our readers do not need to be more fully
acquainted with this man’s style of journal-
ism. The marvel is, that such rencountern
are not more frequent, for there are provoca-
tions for which the horsewhip seems the only
fitting punishment. And yet, after all, it is
a class of - the public who encourage such pa-
pers by their support, which is more truly at
fault: than the depraved creatures who pan.-
dcr to its vitiated appetite for malignant per-
sonal attacks and uprovoked abuse. When
the masses of our people shall despise and
denounce such publications as heartily as the
better and more thoughtful now do, they
will drop out of existence, and not before.
That Fence.
We have had our share'of amusement put
of the hideous fence that erst added gloom
and solemnity to the outer semblance of our
First Congregational Church. _ Well, that
old fence has, after all, been transformed into
“a thing of beauty,” proving that a little
good taste, practically displayed, has a magi-
. cal power. But the old fence has had an'otlr.
or good effect. It has brought to the recol-
lection of one of our venerable citizens anoth-
er interesting incident in the local history of
the church and town. The spot now occupi-
ed by the church, was, generations ago, the
abode of the aged widow of “old” Dr. Thad-
deus Bette and the great-grandmother of our
present citizens, Chas. C. and Frederick T.
Betta. When at)- ninety years of age, the old
lady found it necessary to erect a new fence
upon substantially the same line as that from
which the church fence has just been remov-
ed. Dunning her cap and “specs,” the old
‘lady betook herself to the yard where the
new posts were all nicely set. “Why, Maltby”
said she, grasping a ‘post,—~!‘.hcse posts all
look'likc chestnut! ” “ch, Grandma, all
seasoned chestnut, ” respon ded, Maltby. ‘ ‘ Well
why didn’t you get locust or cedar, for I don't
want to be bothered with putting up another
fence, while I live,” said the spirited old lady
, of ninety, with earnest feeling.

One thing is'now thoroughly established. Never
since man sufl'ered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been any thing which went so far
as a pain annihilator and curative agent as the

Neuralgia, Stilt-joints, Cakcd Breasts, Swellingu,
Poisonous Bites, Burns, Lame Animals, etc., ctci,
than all other remedies combined. As the name of
Centaur implies half horse and half man, the Gen-
taur Liniments are for man and beast. But not the
same Liniment. ' The White Liniment is for man
and the Yellow for horses and animals. Herein
this Llniment differs from all other remedies, 'ul-
