The Editor of the New York Path Find
en-, who was one Of the guests at the grand
opening OF the Ingraham House, at Chester,
writes glowing account of it in lis paper.
Speaking of the supper, he says: at would
have done credit to our frst-cass hotels. 1t
was in fact magnfct mt affair, and did
honor to mine host, Mr.. Ingraham. The
table fairly groaned with the good things,
and everything in abundance. We must
not omit to give word of praise to the
lady OF the house and her assistants, for the
superb manner in which the various dishes
were served up" Among the guests was
Simeon Leland, Esq, Ct the Metropolitan
Hotel, N. Y. He is native of Chester,
and takes grea; interest in the welfare of his
old home.
DR.. A. r. Edison has returned to Ches-
ter, his old place of residence, where he will
be ready to receive, or call upon his pa
tients as formerly. He has resided at Ar
gyle, N. T., during the last four years, and
his friends cordially welcome him back
to his old home.
The Post Office will be closed this week
on Fast day, as usual except on the arrival
of the mails during the day.
We understand it is announced in the
copperhead organ at Montpelier that the
Constable of this town is a I" copperhead."
The people here do not SO understand
him, but as many inquiries are now made
it is good opportunity for him to" define
his pos tion." Shall we hear from him
Our columns are open, and it don't take bu
few words to express mans loyalty. A
Union democrat is good enough anywhere
but copperhead democrat is perfectly in
toerable.
We are obliged to omit several commu
ncations this week, on account of the CROWD
of other matter.
We must of course omit the markets thi:
week, on account of going to press so early
The prices of most things, however, are
about the same as last week, unless we ex
cept copperheadism, which has had sud

listened with good attention and many Of
the pieces, as they were finished, received
their hearty applause. Several select pieces
were sung by different ones, with excellent
taste, and added much to the interest of the
occasion. The singers did much credit to
themselves and their tutor. The soul-stir-

we're well paid for their attendance, and on
the whole it was decided success, and

DEATH OF CAPT. john S. CLARK
Ry the last arrival from New Orleans, we
learn with deep sadness, of the death of
Capt. John S. CLARK. of Co. K, Sth reg
iment. He was taken sick the last of Feb
ruary and died on the Goth of March. of
chronic diarrhea. He kept his tent till two
days before his death. when he was removed
to the Marine Hospital. Capt. Clark COM
manded Co. X, from Lunenburg of the
Sth regiment, and leaves wife and four
chdre in South Reading, where they have
been living in the house with her father,
Mr.. Lewis Robinson, since he went 10 the
seat of war, and who, OF course. are over
whelmed with the terrible blow which has
come upon them. Mrs. Clark knew he was
not well but had so confidently calculated
upon his speedy recovery, that the awful
stroke found her wholly unprepared. We
learn that he was nursed and cared for in
his last sickness, by lady who writes the
particulars of his last moments. He was
conscious to the last, and sent messages of
love to his wife and little ones at home.
He said it was nard to die so far away from
home. and leave his dear wife and little chill
dren, but if it was the will of God, then he
was resigned. Capt. Clark has been most
faithful officer while in the army, and on
several occasions has been detailed for i'm
portant special service. His death will
carry deep sorrow and sadness to large
/ circle of friends. We understand measures
have been taken to have his remains
brought to Vermont, in which case they
will probably be buried at Luxembourg
We may perhaps give some further partic
uars of this sad event. but the hour of 60
ing to press is at hand, ION account of Fast
Day,) and we must close, and omit some
things which would interest many of our
readers in Windsor County.

worthy authority that the COpperhead
Legislature Of Illinois, which adjourned
on Monday without passing the bills by
which it was hoped TO wrest the mill
tAry power Of the State from the hands Of
its Governor and TO send Commissioners
in the name of the State to treat for
peace with JEFF Davis, received the in
StruciiOns, under which it finally acted
from Gov. Seymour Of New York. 1t is
said be sent message to Springfield to
the general effect, that the Copperheads
there were running the prospects Of the
party for the next election, and that in
order to insure future triumphS it was
necessary to be more cautious now.

Prisoners from Richmond say that the
rebel prisons in that city are filed with
loyal citizens from East Tennessee aud
Northwestern Virginia, and that they
are treated ten times worse than the pris-
oners Of war. About week before the
prisoners left Richmond an order came
from the rebel Secretary of War ordering
the release of two citizens Of East Ten
nessee, who had been in confinement for
eighteen months. The jailor to whom
the order was addressed, upon looking
over his books, found that the two men
whose names were specified had died three
months since.

mountains thereabouts are infested with
deserters and others who are trying TO
avoid doing any good for the country.
He learns that they number between
seventy-flve aud a hundred, and that
they have already killed two men, and
openly robbed private houses Of all guns
and ammunition that they could find

such state OF affairs in our State, and

diately take the matter in hand. They
should endeavor TO rid the country Of all

THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 20, 1868.

Parson GRAVES, the notorious rebel Of
this city, seems TO have so strc Ng pas
sion fer lying and deception that he can
not keep from deceiving and lying to his
rebel friends.
The Charlotte (N. c. Democrat states
with reference to the charge Of treason
70 the Confederacy, against Rev j. H.
GRAVES:
ave notice that Governor Graham has
made a speech in the Legislature in re-
gard TO the late arrest of Rev. j. X. Graves,
Presbyterian preacher, living in Orange
county. It will be remembered that
Graves was returned TO our State author
tiles, and a letter from the Secretary Of
War 20 Governor Vance, states the cause
Of his arrest. The letter stated, among
other things, that Graves was accused, on
the authority of a returned Confederate
prisoner, of giving information TO the en-
envy to the injury of the Confederate
cause, aud that he got a permit to go
North by representing himself as a cit
izen Of New York, DESTROYS Of returning
home. We did not intend again to al
iuub W lub case bhb bpFfihut vi ahehit

commenting on the letter Of the Socreta-
ry Of War, omits entirely to notice the
false statement mado by Graves to Gen.

North II the statement of Graves that
he is a citizen of New York is true, why
then the Confederate authorities very pro-
perly supposed that they had right 70
arrest him as an alien enemy but if that
statement was false-and it seems that
he now claims 20 be citizen of North

certainly been guilty of deception aud
willul ialsehood.
What a thoroughbred scOundrel he
must be, But ho was quite as good as

Changes in tho American Mission.

AMONG the passengers who left IN the bark
Comet on Monday last, was the Rev. r. AMBER
son ID. D., of Boston, who has spent on these
islands about four months, and visited dur
ing that period every Mission station on the
group, excepting only those of Hama and Molo
kai. There has been much curiosity to know
the object of his visit and what he has accom-
plished, and in reply to our inquiries we have
learned the following facts, which will interest
all who have any interest in the welfare of the
Hawaiian people.
DR.. Anderson left Boston in January last,
under instructions from the Prudential Com
mittee of the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions, to visit the Sandwich
Islands, to effect what had long been It's object,
viz Such changes in the relations of the Mis-
sion to the American Board as the great sue
cess of their work has made necessary. The
nlan of the Board in Boston will be more clearly
indicated in the following resolutions, adopted
by it:
{" L That the people q the s.. san giTdsh Islands Is ,n5..ia are entitled lied,
out and sustained by this Board, to be regarded as a Christian
people, in the full and proper sense OF that term
80. That the Government of the Islands has become a regu,,
larry organized Christian government; with Its constitution and
Laws no less accoriant with the Holy Scriptures than are
those of other Christian nations; with nearly a third part of its
p5uulation members of the Christian church; with the national
1nent: Will hoases for the worship Of God, erected and pre-
served by the people. ard regular Christian congregations on
the sabbath. have become general on the Islands.
" 3. That in this remarkable change, wrought out in a single
generation, the Prudential Committee recognize the substantial
accomplishment OF the work devolving on the board a 5 an insu,
ution for propagating the Gospel among tue heathen; and
they believe. that, if the Board is ever to retire from those Isl
ands: the time has arrived for taxing aPpr'priA'S ad more
-. That, in a comprehensive view Of the situation and pros
poets Of the Hawaiian nation, it is now only needful, that
Christian natives should be pat into the Gospel ministry snd

The Comet Ieft puuctualy on the 9th, as advertised, taking
a fu! cargo OF produce.
The Yaake, is hourly looked for. and is supposed to be at
least IS days out from san Francisco.
An unusual stringency is reported in the money market
caused no doubt by the accumulation Of domestic produce,
which, under the depressed state Of foreign markets, finds little
inquiry for export at rates demanded. The low price of produce
abroad affects us iujurousiy in two ways: Ist, by compelling
an export Of specie to. meet current merchandise importatious;
nd Indy, In compelling planters 20 borrow from capitalists,
AMI pay interest on funds required for current expenses. The
exports of specie jnostIy through private hands, by the last two
OF three packets, are said to have been large. This drain Of
specie to san Francisco and to the other islands may tenporari-
ly enbaTass trade, but cannot last any great length Of time.
