NEW HAVEN CORRESPONDENCE.

The election in New York is :he absorbing idea with us just now and taking the late CURTIN lecture in Penn. and the Villain dam,. ing in Ohio for ar index. we are, of course con- filent that the State of EMrIRE will shine out with such briliancy as to be painful to the eyes of Rat,lesuakes or Copperheads.
 The |" Kcpperheads' in this region ara not as hopeful as they would like to bs--snd it is believed tha. # Gen. Mcclellan or their other friend. Jefferson Davis-(he will pardon me for the associates given hins) should endorse their tickets at this election it would bring tears to their eyes in the sad remembrance of the past. The winter is clese upon us, and the autumn winds have barred tho beautiful Ems of their foliage. We have commenced going to lectures, and during the course we are to hear Wendell Phillips, Henry Ward Beecher. Edward Ever cit, Charles Sumner, and others of lesser note. The opening night came of at Mus:c Hall last week, when the " SrEREorsTTcoS" was on ex- hibition-and a most marvellous exhibition of at u u's-sail'assihS aaa coneepeon. VIII Hoa attempt to tell you how the ,hiug was made. or how it works--for the Hall was as dark as Egypt in its darkest days, and all could see was the pictures reflected upon the canvass as large as life and twice as natural.'

 MH. BEsss' wlII.-Agreeably to announce msnt published in this paper. the "First Epis- copal Society of Litch6eld." ," held meeting at St. Michael's Church in this village. on Mon day afternoon of this week, to consider the proposition of relinquishiag to the grand children of Mr. Beers, during their lifetime the income of the third of his property left oy his will to the Society. The meeting was we'll attended, and a spirit of liberality and generosity on the part of the Society was abundaatly manifested in the resolutions which we give below. which were passed without opposition, and without dissenting voice. Brief remarks were made by the Rec tor and several members of the Society, cor, dially assenting to the passage of the hesolu- tions, and a letter was read from the Ass's- tant Bishop of the Diocese, recommending such action to the Society. A County cotem- porary, which has made itself notorious oy it's stricturss on tho will of the deceased pat ron of the Society, and has indnlged in char seteristic and gratuitous snsers as to the pre- supposed action of the Society in the matter, will now have the opportunity. ss often here tofors, of eating its own words. It will be simple matter of justice to the Society, for those other of our contemporaries. who have copied the Wiustsd papers, statements, to give their readers this explicit response.
 The following are tho resolutions:
 s.Ca,,ed tovether as we are. upon matters of business connected with the Estate of our deceased friend. the late Hon. Seth P. Beers, we embrace tbe occasion to express our deep sense of the bereavement which we have sui fered.
 ResoIved, Therefore, 1st, That in his death we have lost valued and honered member, whose Christian virtues whose long and .steadfast devotion to the interests of the So- cicty, and whose many services in it's behalf, we shall always hold in grateful remembrance.
 Resolued. I'd. That the Society gratefully ac- cept the generous devises and bequests for its benefit contained in Mir. Beers will.
 Resolped, 3d, That his liberality to the Soci- ety ought to be met by a corresponding lbe rality on our part towards his relations.
 ResoIped, 4th. Whereas by the will of MT. Beers. the residue of his Estate. after pay mon, of debts and legacies, is vested ia Trustees, and onc-third part of the income of said resi-. due is payable by said Trustees immediately to the Society, now, therefore, said Trustees are hereby directed to pay tc the two grand children of the deceased, the aforesaid third part. to be equally divided between them du. ring their joint lives, and on tho death of either of them, half to go to the survivor and half to revert to tho Society, and on tue death of the survivor of them, the whole to revert to the Society,""

The statist,cian was evidently too charitable or negligent in his figures. member rose and doubted if the six gIoggeries could be sustained with only sixteen victims. Winchester, sixteen dram shops, and sales last year were two hundred and twenty five barrels of spirits, and eight hundred barrels of beer. Other towns in the county were not heard from. At the close of the meeting n constitution was adopted crea- ting tho ' Temperance Alliance of Litchfeld Nortb," and the following officers were elect cd :-Hon. Elliot Beardsley. of Winsted.

 The heaviest monthly tax that has yet been paid in winsted was that of Hon. George Dud- ley for September, amounting to $4l5.

THE NEw YORK ELEcrloS.-Ws commend the returns of the election from the noble old Empire State to such of our coppcrhead friends, who still believe in the invinciblity of the name of Seymour, and in obstructing the progress of the War for the Union. The late hour at which we receive the glorious returns, prevent us from doing more than offering our hearty congratulations to all of our readers, who see in the result new cause for hopsfalness for the Republic. Thank God, the grand old State has done her whole duty, and stands up nobly with all her sisters in the loyal North, iu the firm determination to elect sueh rulers q. shall give the government hearty and loyal support The glorious pyram,d is intact not stone overthrowed OF a state wanting.

A delegation of official. from Rhode 1.la,

A delegation of officials from Rhode Island visited New York on Monday, and waited up- on the Russian admiral and extended to him and his officers and fleet. an official invitation from Rhone Island to visit that State as it's guest. The interview was very pleasant one, and the admiral cordially accepted the invita- tion, intimating that he would soon communi cate to Governor Smith the day upon which he and his fleet will probably arrive in the wa ters of Rhode Island.

MR. BEEcHER N LoxpoN.-On the evening of October 20th, Henry Ward Beecler spoke in Exeter Hall. vast building, capable of holding many thousands of people. As early as five o'clock, says the London Ne,os. the crowd began to assemble, and before six O. clock, it became so dense as to block up not only the foot way but the carriage way of the Strand, and the committee determined to open the doors. A tremendous rush followed, which at once crowded the house, filled the corridors and staircase. still leaving m immense crowd in the Strand and Burleigh street. Mr. Beech CT was finally carried into the halt on the shoulders of policemen, and on appearing on the platform was received with shouts of ap piause. Mr. Beecher spoke of the forbear- ance Of the North, and why it did not first go for emancipation, and showed ~hy it did when slavery attempted to lift itself into national policy. and to destroy tho government. The speech was warmly cheered. the name of Mr. Lincoln was received with deafening plaud ts, and at the conclusion of the long lecture, a resolution was carried on motion of Professor Newman, supported by Rev. Newman Hall and George Thompson, thanking Mir. Beecher for his admirable address, expressing the hearty sympathy of the meeting with his rep rotation of the slaveholders' rebellion. his vindcation of the rights of free government and congntulating him on the triumphs which have crowned the labor of himself and bic as. sistants in the anti-slavarY policy of President Lincoln and his Cabinet.
 General Thomas says that in the Lookout Mountain fight. General Hooker took from the enemy four officers and 103 men aud l.e00 En- field rifles. Our loss in all was $50 killed, wounded and missing.
 GRANT AT CHArTAHooGA.-Gen. Grants troops at Chattanooga have gained very i'm puytant success in the capture of Lookout Mountain-and another not less important in the opening of communications with Bridge- port. The rebel position on Lookout Noun tain commanded the town of Chattanooga, though not our lines. but the rebels were able to menace -ana annoy us from it. The fact that they are driven away adds strength to Gen. Thomas' position. Gen. Grant begins work in his new Department neatly and sue cessfully, and we have no doubt he will yet end it grandly.

b0>The admirable iberality and exalted public-spiriteduess of the American Telegraph Company" is worthy of remark. On Weines- day morning when the public in every village along the lines were anxious to hear of the re- suit of the New York election,--not word could be got out of the operators either in Hartford, New Haven, or Bridgeport--as least at the office in this village-as to the vote. It is contrary to orders, they tell us, to give the public. which supports their lines, any gratuitcus information ofpublic interest. It is specimen of the m ost niggardly management which has been evinced, ever since the line to Litehseld,- which the citigens of this vil- lage paid bonus of one thousand dollars. be- sides handsomely supporting itever sinee-was sold out. land the donors with it) by Mir. E. Wilson.
 And 90 we all had to wait until the freight train on the Naugatuck road chanced to ar. rive, before we could get the result from the New York morning papers. It is good thing to the public to have telegraph line under such management.

FRoS A SICK Roox.--7he able Editor of the journ al hereof, has had the misery for the past fortnight and mors, of being shut up in close quarters. a decidedly disabled Editor.
 Some people are said to enjoy bad health. ? The Editor decidedly doesn't.
 Everybody knows the Dutchman's definition of the Gout. It was rheumatism, with one turn more to the jack screw.
 The Editor has been in close sympathy with the Teutonic remark. ...
 A vulgarism was formerly much in vogue original. we believe, with the late E. F. Chris. ty, of Chrissys Minstrels regarding an up- right man. who was always as right as his isft leg" ....
 Ths Editor has been somewhat similarly sit. aafed in this regard-horizonta rather than upright. for the greater part of the time, or rather, has assimilated to Fernando Wood in Dis walk" which has been slantindicular. y
 Never being ~no,icsably steady on his right pin. at any time, when his left pin gave out, the Editor hereof gave out entirely. There is always food for reflection in certain period. and positions in life; never more 30 than when one has the opportunity of contempla ting the ceiling from a recumbent posture, ol when. bolstsred up in a chair, he has the occa. sion of musing upon the im mutabiity of msr and things iu general, asd his own immutabi ity in particular.
 He has had one comfort, however. No power on earth could make him |" bend the suppliant knee to tyrants in their power," nor could he bs persuaded to take single step towards any temptation, however tantalizing.
 We trust none of our readers will construe these avowals into confession that the Edi- tor is suffering from the effects of any youth. hl iudiscretions of mind, body or estate par ticularly of high living. We assure them the disease is purely constitutional"-and like the National Constitution. directly inherited from our fathers.
 Nor can we consider our immediate fore. fathers % much to blame. since the disease is as old as Methusslah. of whom we have au- .nentic accounts that he perishsd untimely rom rheunatism in his feet.
 b0s We were about to say. as the French say-tnat Rheumatism is considered tn objes 3s o0" g0~ to have, and so we "ceass re- pining j; only stating that we shall be willing 70 dsi.ssr our own modicum of it to any per. son who sill carry it away. with : pair of ele. eans crasches throwa into the bargain.
 These desultory remarks are made fo- ,h. purpose of explaining the cause for the unr.u. al vivacity and ability which may have been noticed in the last two issues of the Es9u,Rrn for which We and our readers are indebted to the kindness of our synpathising friends.

The Meeting of the Legislature.
ssub Hoe sisno vineimus."

Pursuant to the Governors proclamation, the Leeislature convened in Hartford on Tuesday of this week. The Governors Mes saee, which is brief and business like, will be found elsewhere in this paper. The recom- meudstious he makes seem 10 IS to be judi eious, timely and eminently worthy of en- dorssment and adoption by the body to which they are addressed. .-t
 It is necessary for the honor and standing of tho State that every possible means be adopted by the Legislature, and every inducement be held out. that shall tend to fill up our quota of volunteers under the last call of tho President. This is but triAe over five thousand, and we understand that if this quota is promptly filled by the first of January. our present deficit on the draft, some five thousand more, will not be required of us.
 The business before the Legisla ture will necessitate short sessioh only, and unless we are to have funeral address or two, from tbe distinguished copperhead of Hartford in the House. and others of his stripe, over their ex- tinguished hero, late of Ohio, we may hope the proceedings of the Legislature will not be extended beyond this week, or next at the far. thest. and so as little expense as possible be made to the State.
 We recommend to our readers careful pc. rusal of the Governors Message, and tender our congratulations anew to the public, that we have so wise and upright and loyal Chief Magistrate, to preside over the affairs of our State, in this crisis. and to carry it through tri- umphantly. with the assistance of the loyal people, we hope to the end of the wicked and causeless civil war.
