 The play on both sides was excellent though that of the Buttons did not come up to the mark of the splendid first five innings in their last weeks match with the Dexters They found more difficulty in running bases with the Empires than with any club With whom We have seen them play; and the Plymouth short stop, especially, managed to get in the balls to 1st base with a rapidi- ty that proved fatal to many of our strikers. The Plymouth club was at the bat doing very we'll at the commencement of the 9th inning, when a severe shower came up which made it impossible to continue the game.

NEW PRESTON, Aug. 9th, 1867.

MR. EDIToR:-Your correspondent from New Preston in your last weeks issue, still harps upon the ordination which took place on New Preston Hill, July llth, and upon upon what Deacon Patterson says in rela- tion thereto. Your correspondent says, 'fDeacon Patterson would think again, tor what would be much better, look and see, ] he would find your correspondent said no such thing as Deacon Patterson had inti- mated" Now, MT. Editor, had not the paper before me when l wrote the article referred to; but I now have it right before me, and will quote his language. He says, ''The Council ari1 the approbmion Qf Me Chmch, changed the name as it stood on their Records of New Preston Hill to The Church in the Ecclesiastical Society of New Preston, and under that name, ad- the consociated Churches" Now, Mr. Ed tor, when your correspondent says that the Council changed our name with the l appreciation of our Church, or that our delegate approved the thing, I deny it to- tally; for we have from the time of our separation, clung most tenaciously to the old name of New Preston Church, and | probably shall. We claim to be the Old Ancient Church of New Preston, which was organized Jan. 9th, 1757, one hundred and ten years since the 5th day of January last, and we shall not give up that name with out mighty struggle.
 AS to what your correspondent says l about our Church being admitted into the | Consoclatlon at their recent meeting in this place, we care very little about it. We claim that we have been a Consociated Church for more than century, and never have been non-consociated, and never can be, unless for some misdemeanor.
 MT. Editor, let me say to your correspon- dent, that, ,according to our Church Records,
 Parson Day, the former Pastor of this l Church, was the first minister that ever suggested to the ministers in this region of country the propriety of forming them selves into a consolation and as under stand it, at his suggestion, the consocia- tion of Litchfeld South was formed. And the idea that his church has just been con- sociated, is, of all things the most absurd One word more, and have done. Now, if your correspondent, or the Waramaug Church, will send back the church records, the church furniture, and the fifty dollar note, which we claim they have illegally ta- ken, we will endeavor hereafter to study the things that make for peace, and hope } they will do the same.
 1 Yours, respectfully,
 J. D. PATTERSON.

The Removal of Stanton.

If we can believe the reports from Wash ington the President is determined to re- move Secretary Stanton and appoint Gen Steedman in his place. We do not see why such proceeding would not be al plain vio- lation of the Tenure of Office Law, as it would be most unwise act even if const- tutional. There is nothing more certain than that Congress does not desire any un- necessary collision with the President. They undoubtedly do intend that the South shall be reconstructed in their way, and not in his; and they are so well united in opinion that his veto does not practical ly interfere with their legislative power. The Republican party in Congress, too, is strong enough, if they desire it, to remove the President by impeachment. They would much prefer, however, as their whole course shows, that he would continue in office till the end of his term, executing such laws as they make.
 The President has repeatedly promised the faithful execution of the Reconstruc : tion Acts. Will he fulfil those promises? The suspending of Stanton, and threaten ed removal of such District Commanders as have entered on their arduous tasks with the most earnestness and determination have given rise to the gravest suspicious of his good faith. The Impeachment issue is beginning to be regarded with favor by journals so eminently conservative as the N. r. Eoening Post, the N. Y. Iin,es and the Albany Eoenjng Journal. We do not say the removal of Stanton or Sheridan will accomplish the Impeachment of the President. But if the control of Recon struction is to be taken out of the hands of such men as Sheridan and Grant, and put into the hands of such men as Steedman; We have no doubt Congress would enter, immediately on reassembling upon this final contest with the President, that it would be " sharp short, aud decisive" and that the country would sustain their action.
 The only man the President is now re- ported to tn eaten that he can remove with perfect safety and to the entire satisfaction of all parties, is Andrew Johnson.

 Ag% A correspondent of the Sentinel is in favor of rebaptizing the Pinnacle, Suck CT Brook, Sugar Loaf and other places about Wsaramaug Lake and giving them Indian names. For the three former he proposes, Waramaug, Cawammis, and Mau- wehu Peak. This might indeed give an additional air of romance to the New Pres ton Church controversy, but on the whole We object to too much Indian. With Hia- watha the public had surfeit; there has been reaction, and scalp-locks and drea- ry polysyllabic names are at discount. To us they suggest too vividIy for comfort the gloomy times so eloquentlv described by the historian of Ancient Woodburv." :"

A Cold Sleigh Ride.

The Pottsville Journal, of last week, pub
lished an account Of a sleighing party Of
ladies and gentlemen from St. Clair, having
been attacked on the mountain, as they
were goin from that rlace to Mahony city,
ard robbed. The Journal said: may seem
incredible, but it is positively stated that
the robbers stripped the occupants of the
sleigh oftheir clothing, leaving nothing but
the uuderclothing of the women ani the
Buffalo robes that we e~e in the sleigh. The
robbers compelled them to turn back and
return to S. Clair. We have since learned
that the occupants of the sleigh We're a
party Of married men with women other
than their wives, who were out for a good
time ''on the sly thinking their srouses
knew nothing of it; and that the highway
men were the wives of the aforesaid gem
