spared no pains, and no expense, in obtaining the
competent reporters for both houses; and that
if any complaints should arise, we undertake to
state, unqualihcdly that our reporters have no dis
position design to do any injustice to any Of the
members. They mean to deal fairly and impair
tally by all, whether they be on this side Of the
House or on the other, "without fear, favor, or
affection" We pledge ourselves to give as compre-
hensve and faithful report Of the proceedings Of
Congress as we can possibly obtain. All we ask, is
that il any member thinks himself neglected or
misrepresented, he will state his case ns frankly

TREMENDOUS WAR GATHERING
IN THE PARK.
FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS PRESENT
WAR TO THE KNIFE,
AND No ooMPRo%isH,
Until all our Just Rights are Restored
vociFERous CHEERING.


As early as five o'clock last evening, several
thousand anxious and patriotic citizens were as
sembled in front of the City Hall, for the purpose
of attending the great war meeting which had
been called some days previously by his Honor,
Mayor Mickle, and large committee, composed
Of the most respectable and influential men in the
city. AT halfpast 5, all the avenues leading to
the Park were ,hrongcd with moving masses Of
human beings, forming, rs it were, tributaries TO
the great ocean which had congregated around
the Speakers stand. At quarter before g. the
scene presented was one of the most animating
spectacles we ever beheld. Patriotism and a
determination to chastise the treacherous Mexi-
cans who have not only wantonly insulted
us, but who have invaded our soil, and
shed the blood Of freemen on the soil protected
by the stars and stripes, was marked III every
countenance so as not to be mistaken. The ma
tional and city flags, the foliage of the Park, the
setting sun which shone on the galaxy OF beauty
on the roofs Of the City Hall, the Astor, American
and other public buildings, the flag which waved
in triumph over England's proudsst Commanders;
the immense sea of heads waving and tossing like
the pillows of the ocean, the fountain in the rear
spouting with its greatest energy-all combined,
formed scene calculated to arouse the feelings of
the most inanmate, and fill the patriots bosom
with emotion.
At ten minutes to six the noble band which was
engaged for the occasion, struck up, "comc sing
Inc that simple air again"
The following named gentlemen were then
named officers of the meeting -

AN EXCITING SCENE.

The Philadelphia Inquirer tells us that a
scene of great panic and excitement occurred
on board the steamer Hcndrick Hudson' on
the North River, on Friday night last, a few
minutes before IL O'clock The passengers
had all retired to rest, and most of them were
IN sound sleep. All was still and calm, save
the noise of the engine and the splash of the
waters as the boat cut her way toward New
York. Suddenly passenger W no had provided
himself with comfortat ls berth in the gen.
tlemen's cabin. srrang from his place Of repose
and exclaimed in the voice of a Stentor," Fare !
FIRE! FIRE! Ne are all gone: We are oil
l,sf" In an instant the passengers were awake
as may we'll be imagined, in a dreadful state Of
alarm. Few OF them attempted to dress them
selves, but as they rushed together into the
midst of the cabin, each striving to gain access
to the doorway, the confusion and excitement
were awful. The hands on deck, knowing
that there was no danger, and that the alarm
was false one, endeavored to soothe and pre-.
vent the egress of the affrighted crowd but
tor a time this only rendered The matter worse
Al last, s,me one with lungs a little stronger
than the rest, and who had discovered the
cause Of the panic, cried out at the top of his
voice. that all was safe and g the panic and
fear had proceeded from passenger who was
troubled with the nightmare" The change
was indeed a happy one, and the passenger.
resumed their berIhs amid roars of laughter.

Mr.. Editor. One of those County Clerical

a number Of years was held in St Johns
Church New Milford, on Tuesday aud We.lnes-
day The 18Th and 10th days Of this month As
il has been customary TO make your columns

nected with all Church movements in this

the doings of the Association at that time.
There were present, Rev. Mrssrs. Zel,
Watson, Clark. Frishe, F"ole, Atwll, Noble,
Sanford, Nichols, and Long besides the Rector
If the Parish. AT the first service, which was

We have indeed beautiful Church at VOL
coville. and. as understand that an applca-
tion is about to be made to several Parishes for
aid to this infant Church, would say that
know of no object more deserving of aid. The
members of the congregation at Wolcottyille
have done nobly, and little aid will to human
appearance be the means of extending the
Church permanently at an important point for
her to occupy. We have beautiful village
Church nearly ready for Conservation at North

efforts Of our County Missionary efforts. On

MURDER IN BERKSHIRE COUNTY.
We learn from the Massachusetts, Eagle
Of Friday last, that a man BY the name Of
Hosea Record, was found dead by the road
side, in the town of Windsor, in Berkshire
County, on the Wednesday morning previous,
having the evidence of several violent blows
upon his body. The Eagle says.
"a Jury of INCEST was summoned from
the town of Windsor and the adjoining town
of Dalton, who after a thorough investiga-
ton, returned verdict SHAT the deceased
came to his end from The effect of blows in
ficted with club or other weapon in the

As yet the whole affair is involved in
deep mystery. There were drops of blood

the place where the body was found, on the
road to Hinsdale, and ON the road that leads
10 Cummington, and on the Hinsdale road

The Great Picnic.

Tomorrow, (Thursday } is the day designa-
ted for the great Picnic of the BUELs and
MARSHES The appointment has already pro-
dnced one good result, viz, it has put the great
mass of our people to the praise-worihy task
Of finding out who their grandfathers and grand
mothers were. Old family bibles, church rec
ords, town records, &C., have, for the last few
weeks, been in great demand, and the study Of
gencalogies has thus become popular and fav-
orite pursuit with all classes. Indeed, the
Marsh and Buel stock is quite above'par" just
now. and is rapidly rising. Certain defects
in the records, united with the treacherous
memory Of the coolest inhabilant," have eff
fectually shut US out of the Family Gathering;
and we have therefore commissioned the ex-ed-
itor and our k<;- ! "devil" to speak and act for
US on the occasion.
