FELIX Mccullough, whose duties as watch
 man on the bridge of the Hartford and Provi-
 dence railroad across the Connecticut, require
 him to pass over the bridge in hand car after
 the passage of each train, was thrown out of
 the car in which he was crossing on Thursday last, by coming suddenly in contact with an
 imperfect joint, and pitched headlong through
 the sleepers, sixteen feet to the ground below.
 He was considerably but probably not fatally injured.
 A Mas. White residing at Wolf Neck, Ston- ington. eloped last week. with 2 gay deceiver, named Pendleton, while her husband was ab- sent on fishing voyage. She left two children at home, one of which was only six months old. Mrs. White secured and carried with her $500 which belonged to her husband. The runawsys were accompanied Dy Pendleton's sister, and when last heard from were booked at a Providence hotel as MT. and Mrs Clifton and sister.
 ON the 9th of August, 1864, James W. Need- ham, Canadian, enlisted at the provost mar shal,s office in this city as . substitute for-no matter whom. He entered the Fourteenth reg iment, was not absent from duty single day, and was discharged July 10th. 1S65 He re- ceived as bounty $65O, and as pay $192.2o, or g total of $s42.2O. On the 2oth of July he arrived in Norwich with the above sum in his pocket, less only $l.50 paid for rations on the journey fsom Washington. He left for his home on Thursday. This is only to illustrate that all substitutes are not bounty jumpers. spendthrifts and worthless fellows. Noywich Pallefia. s.e s64 e} sAs5s .E esy gya s9 sS,A

CoNaREss has passed two laws on the
subject of coufscstiou, the first on August
g. 1861, confscatiug all property actually
used in aiding, abetting or promoting the
measures of the rebellion, and the second
on July IL 1862, con6scstiug all property
whatsoever of persons assisting, engaged
with or giving aid and comfort to the re-
bellion. To obviate the scrupIus of the
late President, Congress accompanied the
second law with an explanatory resolution
that "no punishment or proceedings nm.
der the said act shall be go construed as
to work forfeiture of the real estate of
the offender beyond his natural life" New
ertheless proceedings have gone forward
under this law, regardless of the resolu.
ton, by which the titles to numberless ca.
tates have gone over In absolute ownership
to the purchasers of the same from the
United States. Whether such confiscation
on sweeping scale was constitutional
and whether the present rule to these es.
tates is legally valid, is a question which
will doubtless be submitted to the Sn-
rreme Court aud be finally adiudicated
here.
In the meantime, all further procseain,,
under this law are suspended by Presi.
dent Johnson's amnesty proclamation ox-
eept ss the property OF rebels who Were
worth over $4,000. II the Law of Con.
gress of 1864 be q constitutional and vsIj5
law, then proceedings may still be had
under 1t, aud the real estate of those rebels
worth over $40 900 may be taken in fee
simple by the United States and Transferred
TO other parties. This was perbaps Presi
dent Johnson's idea in that clause of his MO.
clamAuon which simply leaves the confis.
cation act operative in the case of the
large landowners, while the poorer OF the
rebels we're relieved by 1t from all pecnni.
ary penalties and disabilities. This wonid
give at least substantive operation 10

$3.50 ,OOO, 600, of all descriptions, which
Great Britain and the continent are dis
posed to hold. The operation would be in
hnitely preferable, in financial point of
view, and certainly more agreeable to the
country, than to have the market at home

regulated by the arbitrary quotations from

rather disposed to increase than sell ouI

the prevailing feeling. But, be this as 4

Govsrnor PeIrIoInt

Once make q man famous and It is an
easy matter to make his blood ilIustrious.
So the old proverb goes anyhow. The
Richmond Republic has made discovery
Concerning Gov. PeiFpoint since his tranS-
fer TO Richmond, which We suppose is not
only matter of interest, butof news to his
friends in this part of the country. We
copy from that paper as follows:
The present Chief Magistrate of Virginia
is descended from William Peirpoint, who
was one of the chief linen alarms" of
Willtsm the Norman, and was with the
oouqueror at the battle of Hastings, and
for his conduct In that battle VAS enpobled
and endowed with lands ct Kingston upon
Hull. The family was q noble family in
England till the death of Evelyn, the last
Duke Of Kingston, In IT'S,
John PieFpont, from whom all of the
name in this country are descended, ems
igrated from London to Roxbury. near
Boston, Massachusetts, between 1880 and
1640. His son James graduated at Gam
bridge College, and was settled at New
Haven, Connecticut, in 1885, aud from him
are descended all of the name now known
70 be living in this country.
On the death of Evelyn, last Duke of
Kingston, without heirs male, the title
lapsed, the estates descending TO colIate.
raj kindred. By the first smigrant to
America. John; and by his fathers James,
who, at John's emigration, was merchant
of London, the name was written Pierpont.
Thus it is cut upon the tombstone of John
in the old buryipg ground of Roxbury,
Massachusetts,, where he and others of his
family are inferred; and the same orthog.
raphy is observed in an autograph sigma
ture to deed of conveyance of real estate
in Roxbury, still in the hands of kins.
man of Governor Pierpont-the Rev. John
Pierpont, D. D., for many years minister
of Unitarian Church in Boston, and now
clerk in the Treasury Department at
Washington, from whom we have derived
these particulars.
From New Haven, some members of the
family removed to the city of New York,
and TO Jersey City, opposite, shortly before
the Revolutionary War.
John Pierpout, the grandfather of our
present Governor, early In life emigrated
from Jersey City to Mongolia county,
where the latter was born. In Issuing 10
John Pierpont the patent for the land on
which he settled, the officers in Richmond
misspelt the name, writing it Pierpoint,
and it lie in this way that the corrupt or.
typography has obtained in Virginia.
