Corrections.

Last week we published a short notice OF an
accident, under the erroneous impression that 1t
occurred but a short distance below our office. 1t
being a matter of little interest, we made no par
~ticular inquiry about It. The next morning, we
received the following, among other letters, on
the subject:
MIDDLEPoRT, Sept. ], 1852.
Messrs. BRADING & THOMSON, you
tell us near what bridge in Pomeroy that buggy
was upset, which was mentioned in yGpr paper
Yours respectfully, A SUBSCRIBE
MIDDLEPoRT, Aug. 81, 1852.
Messrs. BRADING g. TnoMsoN,-I saw a notice in
your last paper of the running away Of a horse
attached to a buggy, &c. 1t appears from your
notice that it was in Pomeroy. 1t is a matter Of
but little consequence; but you will please no.
tice there is a small own called Middleport, about
two miles below Pomeroy, as we wish 1t under
stood that we don't live in Pomeroy.
A SUBSCRIBER.
In the same papers we published a short repor
OF the Board of Health, written by ourself, il
great haste, as the paper was ready to go to press
when the Secretary Of the Board handed us thu
names. Since that time, we have heard numerous
complaints that the aforesaid report was calcu
lated to injure the upper ward, from the fact tina
the particular locality where these deaths occurre
was not mentioned, whereas it was distinctly sta
ted in the FIRST report. For the benefit of thos
interested we therefore state that the deaths men
toned last week occurred near what is called tn
e "Bumt District" on Linn and adjacent street,
!, in the Third Ward.
: Now we ~solemnly disclaim any intention to mis-
r represent facts, and we hold ourselves at all tint
S ready and willing to correct any error which ma
S at any time appear in our columns. At the san
time, we sincerely regret any such manifestation
of sectional jealousy.

THE COMPROMISE.

The Register argues llE6k beca use Mr..
| Baldwin did not vote for the Compromise.
he therefore must be ia favor Of ito repeal
or still opposed TO it. IF this be sound
logic, the Compromise is bad off for sup
porters-for it is fact that less than q
majority of The members Of the two Houses
Of Congress voted for it. Mr.. Baldwin did
not dodge the issues. as did host Of Demo,
Gratis, but obeysd the Legislative instrgc-
tons of Wings and Democrats. IN One
House of the Connecticut Legislature
these instructions were passed 1870 yeas TO
2 nays lin the other House they passed
unanimously. Does the Register alloy
that all the. Democratic members of the
| Legislature WHO thus voted are now oppos-
ed to the Compromise If not. then what
reason has the eiitor for asserting that Mr.
Baldwin is opposed :
Will the Register tell US Why Messrs.
Benton Bradbury, Rorland Bright, Cass,
Cooper Clemens, Dodge, Dickinson. Doug
las, Fslch, Hamlin. Norris, Shields. Whit
comb, and Walker. did not vote for the
Fugitive Saye lay. when it passed the
United States Senalef Are these Demo
Gratis all to be set down as hostile to the
Compromise, because some ofthem vote 4
directly against The law. and others lodged
or refused to vote at all
Cobb, Of Georgia, recently elscted Union
Governor of that State, voted against a
portion Of the Compromise, and says Raw
that he is nqt. satisfied with them. bnt that
he will aquiesce in them and support them.
Toombs, of the same State, also voted
against part Of the Compromise. but now
yields it his support To these we may
add host of others. No less than forty>
one Democrats voted against the Texas
Boundary Bill. Does the Register throw
these al! overheard us oRpo' ed to the coml-
promise ?
But MIR. Baldwin regarded one Of the
Compromise measures as unconstitutional.
Cobb, Stevens and Toewbs, Of Georgia, re-
garded another of the same series Of
measures as Unconstitutional. But after
their adoption. no opposition was made TO
either of these measures by either ofthese
gentlemen. Not one of them therefalo, is
to be now placed 10 q hostile attitude to-
wards the Compromise, except with his
CONSENT. They all had opportunities to

CArALoavE OF Tue PuRrrAS SETTLERS
Of Connecticut. by h, R. HinmaU.-
Hartford /; Casea Tiffany q Co.
This PAMPHLETS but the beginning Of
10 most laborious work the author has
undertaken, which is no less a task than
to collect all the Information which
public records give Us of our PuritaRic
ancestors. 1t Is great work, and
could not have been entrusted to more
faithful and patient hands. When fn'
shed, it will be complete history Of
the private lives of the early settlers Of
Connecticut. So ne idea Of the magni-
tude of the undertaking may be formed
from the fact, that in 1872 pages, which
is the size Of this pamphlets, the author.
in his alphabetical progress, has reached
no father than to the name OF Benedict.
He proposes 10 include the whole work
in six numbers, at Fifty ceats the number.
All persons who wish to know the early
genealogy of their ancestors in this
county, will find il in the volume before

The house where frst I sawAGSe lisEt.
Where roSeg bloom sd fresh and bright;
While all above the moss, grown caves,
Hang tremblingly ths dark green leayes;
And the robbins sing ia the old elm trees,
Whose broad arms wave in the ighing breeze.
And jus, beyond is the singing brook.
And the path that leads TO the shady nook,
Where yiOlets lie like starry eyes.
Glancin8 Up where the grey rocks rise
Pile on pile like some castle wall, .
Cathedral dome, or stately hall
Of Baron brave, with bridge and foyer:
And half l feared in childhood's hour
To see ride out some crusade Knight
From its portals grey, yith armour bright,
And cross. and banner, and lady fair,
With waving plupes IN her shining hair
Or with yisage grim some genli bold.
Who watched within o'er;heaps Of gold.
But the path leads on to the smiling lake,
With its tangled baaks Of rsely brake.
And cranherries wild Of crimson dye.
While the sc airing eagle with piercing eye,
Watches afar the ppland lea.
Where the golden corn is waving free.
And tar away is waterfall,
Where old "Haystack rises above them all:
Together making place, ween,
Az fair as e'er on earth was seen. n
But strangers set by that hearthsstene now.
And the SGD lies cold on mary brow
That glAddened that home in days Of yore--
Their spirits haye passed to the dreamlese
shore.
But few short years will swiftly ay.
When we hall meet those friends on high:
Then would ask for peaceful grave,
BY my childhood's home where the wild
flowers wave
Above my head, and the signing breeze,
And the birds that sit in the old elm trees
Shall sing requiem soft and lew.

the following account of q remarkable

country. and the neighborhood were
invited to attend his funeral on the next
day. In the evening. his physician re-
