BRIDGEPORT, Dec. 30, 1872.

BRIDGEPORT Dec. 3D. lS42
]. G.. BENNETT, ESQ.,
noticed few days since in your money article,
the most sensible remarks which have yet been
made on the subject of railroad communication be-
tween your city and Albany
You will find your account in following up those
remarks, with Illustrations of the expediency Of ex-
tending the Harlem road to the Connecticut line at
Port Chester and thence along the coast to Bridge
port and New Haven. You are probably aware, that
with view to this, survey has been already made,
the result of which shows the praticabiity of con-
structing road at moderate expense. The pa
pers speak of getting to New Haven by Danbury,
which shows ignorance of the country and the
points where its business and travelling concentrate.
Let the Harlem road be extended, as you propose, to
this place. and it becomes the most splendid stock
in the world for it will take, four months in the
wear, the whole mass OF the northern and western,
and nearly all the eastern travelling besides an in
caIculable amount Of business at all times. Let
charter be obtained, and the books opened for SUBJ
scrpton, even In these times and their would be
rush for the new stock, and the Harlem stock would
Immediately run up to 100, dscredted as il now u.s.
There is project OF the day which it will pay so
well to press, and the advocate for which will find
so much favor with the public. Uninterested even
in the Housatonic Railroad, / have, since reading
your remarks, been so forcibly impressed with the
certain practicability and the great importance OF
this extension and junction OF the Harlem and
Housatonic roads at Bynam River that Ihave taken
the liberty to address you, with the hopeIo inducing
you to pursue the subject

Knowing that truth may be elected through
your fearless paper, now that the Court is in its
course of enquiry and the great subject matter OF
investigation is, whether any necessity existed for
the hanging OF Spencer, and Cromwell and Small.
Permit me to ask Tor description OF the brig So
mers, her tonnage, and the arrangement of her
decks. We wish to see If any separation existed
between the quarters of the men and those of the
officers, and if the three prisoners could not have
been confined in a state room, and being there
bound in strait waistcoat and ironed by their feet
to bolt, and the room locked or bolted could not
have been efectuay kept from all sight or hearing
OF the crew-and If disposed to be clamorous or
noisy they could not have been gagged to quiet and
order. And we told by old and experienced
captains that the Somers, far as regards her navi

any assistance could have been had to secure, if it
had been thought advisable, all the crew.
No blood had been shed, no resistance had been
made to the securing any one Of the prisoners. We
