 s@- The Hon. Seth P. Beers, late Commis sioner of the Connecticut School Fund, was in town yesterday, moving about as briskly as young man, and as competent to attend to busi ness as lie ever was. Time deals gently with him. The same may be said of Hon. Truman Eomith, our late Senator in Congress who has his law oihce in New York City, but sleeps in Stanl- ford. lie Was about town yesterday, apparently as hale and vigorous, shrewd of head and kindly ot heart, as when he superintended the Presi- dential campaign which lodged General Taylor in the Presidential chair Uncle Truman is a man who has seen good deal of politics, and he says. The combination in New York State will not work. Lincoln will come out at the top of the list. Men are not apt to stultify them selves by voting for such mixed electoral tick ct as is talked of" Mr. Smith is very confident that Lincoln is to win, and that he is a man with whom cid Henry Clay Wings will be pleased. field county man who made his appearance in town yesterday locking far better than when we last saw him. He has been at q water cure in Western New York, and seems to have thriyen on the regimen.-Courank
 asg~ The diseases of Douglas which have in- terfered with the discharge of his public duties are thus enumerated:

 ssse- New York is the battle ground Of the campaign. Fusion is the order of the day. lsreckinrdge men are taking down their defiant tone. Douglas men are shaking fellow Demo crats by the hand. Know Nothings and Union men, with the Bell and Everett party, are in con- stant and daily consultation. !i.r. Brady's gin geriy letter of acceptance indicates the tone of the public mind. All things, all men. all painci- pies, are to be sacrificed to the defeat of the Re publican candidate. But it can't be done.
 seA- The quarrel between the Democrats in this State, says the New Haven Journal brings out threats of great revelations. The iiartfurl Post IS iaii Cf nimations of large sums of money paid to the Breckenridge leaders and used hr them for thelr own en.ls In the following Dai- a3fa2h 1t threatens apparently to let out the truth about the Belmont corruption fund which was raised ill New York to carry our spring cleo ton. 1t says :-'' We have several complaints to us from New ! ork and other quarters as to the amount of money received for the Use of tho Democratic party n this State at the last cleo tion. and which went ato the hands of the editor of the atns@5.

 | Hs-So many Germans in Milwaukee have gone over to Lincoln that the Democrats are quite desperate about it. In the 9th ward the old German democratic stronghold, the Douglas natives have made several outrages upon their old Teutonc friends. \ German republican picnic party was beset with stones and many in Jured also, the German republican flag staff was sawed Gff and an attempt was made to cut away some of the pillars Of the wigwam. All these outfages have a good effect.
 Esr An attempt at fusion between the Doug las and Bell parties of Massachusetts has failed Another will be made
 gs%lt is rumored that Mr. J. Holbrook. the well-known Post Office detective, has it in cou- temptation to publish paper devoted exclusive ly to the diffusion of information regarding the department.

 s&y~ Since the Douglas and Brecknrides men in Missouri have parted company on the Presi- dential election, the St. Louis Democrm exult- ngy claims that the victory is within the reach of the Republicans, with four straight tickets in the field. It believes the vote for Lincoln in the State, even in the southern portion of it, will astonish the country.
 MR. EDITOR II was admitted to the Bar of this County in April, 1845. On looking back to that period, to the faces that were then familiar to me as members of the Profession, and to those that were preparing to become such, and who afterwards joined our ranks, am forci5ly reminded of the certainty of death. by
