week I said that the publishing of Mr. Blair's letter virtually admitted on Senator D. part that he and Mr. Toucey alike unwayeringly sup ported the administration. ir. gi H ts
 If this is not irresistibly deduceable by the only construction the language can bear, then l confess to a want of comprehension that units me for the post even of an amateur correspoh- dent If have not fairly represented the state of feeling among Union men concerning the pub, lication of that letter, why don't the courant say so :? By not saying so, Mir. Clark virtually admits either that Mir. Dixon is abused by the people, or by himself! netby me. e
 The few allusions have made concerning the course of Senator Dixon, have been made in sor- TOW and not in anger. Toward Senator D. I entertain no personal hostility, know his geni- al manners, his kindly sympathies, his scholarly attainments and his refined hospitality. have felt from the opening of the present canvas that he was being slaughtered in the house of his publication of the Blair letter was the work of the same man that now charges me with abusing Senator Dixon, I take pleasure in stating this alleged fact, merely reminding our friends that
 do not see how we can go behind the record | unless some authentic declaration is made. A.
 N. Clark among Mir Dixon's friends, reminds me of the attempt to use elephants in war, great huge monsters, at the head of column, they l seemed irresistible and whole battalions fed,
 but as soon as they were wounded they turned and trampled down their friends Soft is now, the heavy feet have clumsily made more crack | ing in the crockery, than the broad axe of an athlete like Mir. Burr the exquisitely tenn pered rapier of Maj. Osborne could have done in year. ~ 3. %'~
 It is a source of regret that the accomplished proprietor of the Courant, hasn't the leisure to personally supervise at least its politics. The cause of loyalty and sound politics never needed more than they do to-day the sparkle and viva city he always brings to the discussionofa ques- ton. With two such formidable masters of the art of journalistic war as Messrs Burr and os- borne to encounter, we certainly have s'foemen worthy of our steel" ..
 Our Hectcr has exchanged the war of the pen, for the sterner clash ef arms, and as the ce nict thickens, all Priams sons should be in the field. To be sure we have the pale student of the Press, whose versatile pen, exquisite humor and fine tact have enabled him, single handed, to meet s'the world, the flesh and the deyil'' recently, and hold his own. And then there is inimitable Ike Bromley, (as we'll try to paint the hue of the lily as to describe the Bulletin man,) he is as fresh and as rural as the combinations of the Kalr ides cope ss...s... .
 When such iancers are in the field, let even an humble amateur enter protest against denun citations and misrepresentation. The frstnever converted any body, the last will recoil sooner or later on it's author. Journalism has ahigher mission than to print telegrams and pander to mere party now, if it never had before; giant nation rocks in the throes of mighty revolu- precedent and custom, men breathe freer, party ties are loosened and every one feels that we are in the midst of mighty changes.
 This is the last time I shall address your readers before the election will take place, and cannot refrain from one word of exhortation IO tu0 OulOu WcN OA AltCuuelu OUuuty LO UO luclT whole duty. The recent attempt to re-organize the Democratic party under the lead of Vallan- afghan, on the platform of opposition to the
 Presidents message recommending Federal aid to states initiating emancipation, shows but too plainly the disposition to embarrass the admin
 istration and protract the war, in the vain hope of reaping party gain out of the trials andpsuf- ferings of an impoverished people. Thereis no road out of our present troubles for the patriot, but in the unfaltering support of the WAR, CO., wards and traitors may seek party gain at the expense of National honor and future prosper ity. Our countrymen are laying down their lives without murmur for the old flag, we are only called upon to vote for it.

Eugenia, Empress of France, is going to have a voluptuous bath room, now nearly completed, at the Elysce. There are eight panels to the doors, each of which is decorated with a figure
 fishing, hunting, the bath the flowers, the vintage, skating, and the birds. Over the doors are paint ed the following subjects: Diana surprised by Acteon, Venus on the Sea, Lecai in the Bath, and the Toilette of Venus. The Empress has effect ed change in the hours of receiving visitors that in the aristocratic ciccles of Paris is now widely adopted Instead of having her most bril- liant receptions in the evening, they now take place in the morning, and are called msatines.-- The ladies attend in their bonnets, and refresh ments are served on trays. These entertainments have the advantage of being necessarily very short duration, as they seldom commence before two o'clock, and end before half past three. Mu- sic is frequently resorted to as an agreeable amusement. s $ .H sea ats9 RAscALITY.-On Mondayof last week, per son passing over the Naugatuck Railroad, be, tween, Ansonia and Seymour, discovered q rail acrosssthe track, which he removed.
