NEw HAR1roRD.-Lieut. Henry R. Jones, acting Adjutant of the llth Regiment Invalid Corps, head quarters Elmra. N. r., is now home on fu-lough for few days. Our req lers will remember that this brave young officer was shot down on the Antietam battle hands of the rebels, by whom he was held three days, and released on parole.
 The ball by which he was wounded entered his person at the root of his neck, splitting, in its passage. his collar bone. A large incision was subsequently, made in the region of his shoulder blade, with view to find the ball, but without success. It is still in tho upper part of his body. The wound remains slightly opon, maaifesting signs of inward trouble. Mir. Jones' general health is good. The chief difficulty seems to be in his right shoulder, which can be moved but a little outward and inward in line with the body. !! It is expected that he will soon be commits Stoned Adjutant, by the President. He is a noble young msa, aad his fellow townsman re- joice, not only that he escaped death. but also in view of his promotion in office.

NAUGATUcK RAu. RoAp-Our readers in the Nasgatuck Valley, and the travelling public will have noticed the recent changes in the time table" of this road. We should like in behalf of the travelling public, to enquire of the managers of the road why it is that the down train which leaves Winsted at l245 F. Nj. cannot be run to hit the Express train for New York, lShore line) at the Junction or Bridgeport, as formerly? As it now is, we observe that this train arrives ut the Junction sbout .fee minutes after the Express train has passed that point, and the consequence is that New York passengers are compelled to take slow accommodation train, leaving New Ha- ven half an hour later, and arriving at New York nearly an hoar laxr. Tho Ave minutes or 30 causing this inexpicable aud disagreea ble delay can surely bs made in the running time of the road. as, fer instance, say between the stations of Burrville and Wolcottville, where the time occupied between leaving the two sta so"s--four miles apart--is exactly forty eight minutes
 We presume tho road is run solely for the convenience and interest of the travelling pub lie, and for no class of these moro than for the large per centage that daily travel by this road to and from New York. We resnectful. y submit therefore to the Superintendent and Directors of the road, that very simple change in their present time table. and very sight alteration in the running time of this passenger train would obviase the difficulty we have pointed out, and relieve the management from considerable grumbling and lively reaec. tions on the part of passengers all along the road.
 Lot us add good word for one of the conductors on the Naugatuck. On Monday evening of this week, very foul-mouthed drunken, though welldressed scavenger, hailing From Reynolds Bridge, got into the passenger car at Waterbury accompanied by gang of friends, and commenced making the most hid. eous noises, interspersed with oatAs and bias. phemics it only for the lowest pot house. The ease, we arc sorry to say, is of too frequent oc eurrence on this road. In this instance the car was full of ladies, who were, of course ex sessively annoyed by the fellows profanity aut obscenty. Conductor Waterbury, on perceiv ing the disturbance. promptly took the fellow iu charge. and in spite of pretty determined resistance, hustled him with more rapidity thar gracefulness. while the train was in motior cut Of the car into the baggage car, where he was locked up until he reached his destination A 'ew saeh instances of the prompt removal o 'u'h "'noyances would abate the nuisance.

LITCHFIELD. CONN, THURSDAY. DEC. 8, 1868.
The SituatiOn.--Recru for the Navy Lew.

New Levy.
 The news from Chattanooga, this week. em. braciDg the glorious successes of Gen. U. $. Grant. has thrilled the loyal North with heart. felt gratitude and joy. The day set apart for the National Thanksgiving gave us the first intelligence of the defeat and rout of the enc. my. and subsequent advices have entirely con. hrIned the good news. It now seems that Bragg army is completely demoralized, and scattered in every direction, while Lonestreet's corps is entirely cut of from the enemy 8 main force, and if saved at all from destruction must Do So by the most desperate fighting. Mean while Meade is pressing Lee backward toward Richmond, in spite of unfavora ble weather, and whenever he can get him 10 mako stand, we may easily look for battle and another victory for the Army of the Potomac. Alto gether, the news from our armies this week is of more cheering character than we have had for many week. Success seems everywhere perching upon our banners, and the year bids fair to close with brighter prospect for the downfall of the rebellion than We could have dared to predict fortnight since.
 But what are we doing to help on the glori- ous work? The final levy of five thousand troops.is called for from this State, five hun drsd and thirty y-uine of which must be furnish cd by this County. With these in the field the last blow to the rebellion will be struck. and that without the prospect of much more fighting. A victory of Meade's army, equal to that just attained by Grant, will about use up the military force of the rebels. The troops now called for will then be used mostly for garrison duty. and to protect the Union senti- msnt Sure to spring up Wherever our armies have obtained control of the soil. It is possi- ble the Southern leaders may strive to keep up e guerilla warfare for a time, but with their two grand armies demolished or demoralized, serious fighting will be over.
 Let us arouse then to our duty of filling up our town quotas. Why should not war meetings be called in every town to excite the interest and enthusiasm of our young men? The time allowed for volunteering is short,and every day diminishing. In no other way can we resist tho draft. In no other way can we ustain the untarnished lustre of our State and county.
