 From small beginnings, and through many mutations of mes and things. the Esqu1nER has kept steadily on it's way. It has seen tie rise and fall of many rivals, and has to-day a permanencs and position which it's long and successful career has made for it. We have in

TIE RIFLE CoRPs.-Col Rowlands Rife movement has fallen through. The Norwich Bulletin says that Governor Buckinghan n did not feel authorized to create military or ganisatiop not provided for by law, and most of the men object to belonging to the pres ent militia forge. Under the plan of rife bat talions, every two companies would be entitled to major, making five for every regiment of ten companies. This is entirely coatrary to the State law, which gives only one major to regiment, and tue Governor does not feel au. thorissd te allow such an innovation on the regular order" ~-..

n RAILROAD ACClpESr-The New Haven Journal furnishes the following particulars Of an accident on the Naugatuek E. R., OF Sat urdar afternoon last. ...- >s -... --ss ..
 An accident occurred at the Bridgeport draw bridge Saturday afternoon, which involved the loss of considerable property, and which de. layed passenger trains up and down some two or three hours. It appears that at P. M. an extra freight train left Bridgeport for the Nau
 gatuck railroad. The train got along bravely for a quarter of a mile, and would no doubt have achieved Waterbury in time, if people would only keep their draw bridges closed As it was, ,tha Bridgeport draw was open, a vessel having just passed through, and the sig
 nal was dorR. which fact warns trains arriving either way to stop. But A. 5. Rice, the youth.
 full engineer op the freight train, was not to be delayed by any such little obstruction as open draw bridgss. He had started to go to Wats,- 6say and he was pFobsbly thinking that the quickest way to get there vas to keep going, but before he got away from Bridgeport, he found hiinself short an engine, (the Plymouth') and two cars which had suddenly dropped from under him and d;seppeared s.s the rioer |! Another car hung over the abyss and was sab. sequently dropped over tho side of the bridge to clear the track. The engine and cars that wont off. were as completely out of sight un- der the mqd and water as if they had been buried there for ages. The engineer says he saw the draw was open when he got within 8 few feet of it. which diseoyeryi is certainly con- mendabla, considering it was broad day light, and he had an uninterrupted view of two or three thousand feet if ho had taken the trouble to look. lie further says tkat seeibg the ptob.. ability of losing his engine, he stepped af on to the side of the bridge and let her go down alone, v aich prudential resolve is no doubt just az well for his family. Others ,.ok sim liar view, which accounts for the fact that no lives were lost Only last fall this engineer was 2 Brennan on the N. Y. and N II. Rail- road, and left because he didat know enough to handle sherer respectfully. He is very young, but this does nat explain how any en- gineer can be guilty of jogging along in broad day light at speed of only three or four miles an hour and deliberately run his train into the river. Mir. Rice is evidently brilliant of the first water, and should forthwith be presented
 with rowing commission to dig long claims 1 wherever he can find them. sE ssSsfs "s

 sOldiers-i, shoal4 be twenty; and the other
 is the distinction made in the. pay of the eoler-
