THE GIFT TO GEN. FITZPATRICK
We mentioned two or three days
ago that Gen. Fitzpatrick, at the
close of his lecture in Hartford, was
presented with an elegant testimonial
in the shape of a set of silver ware. We
learn from the CourdRt of that city that
the order for the purchase of the silver
ware was made through Major w. Bee
man, Jeweler, No, 9th state Street,
formerly of st. Adams, and in selecting
him there was a double object in view
First he is Il competent man to discharge
the duty, and seco ndly,was an officer OF
the First Vermont Cavalry in Gen. Kill
patricl,'s command having made
splendid record, winning the praise OF
his general, and suffering for it too, 10y
serving as prisoner of war for fifteen
months in rebel prisons.

GRANT AND THE GosSIPMoNGERs.-
The Tribune of Thursday has the lol-
lowing in its editorial columns -
Gen. Grant authorizes the Tribune
to say that the articles written by an
occasional correspondent of the World,
purporting to relate to conversations, or
furnish opinions of his in regard to pub
lie men and public matters, are utterly
without foundation. No human being
has euer Hste 1ed to or shared such con-
uersatiOnS aVith him as those repO. ted
Gen. Grant would not deem it becoming
in him to contradict the articles in
question, if they simply affected him
self, but as they are evidently published
with q view to embroil his relations with
prominent gentlemen, most of them
his polit cal or personal friends, or at
east to outrage their just sensibilities,
he thinks it best 10 deviate in this in
stance from his usual course, and pro-
nounce the articles alluded to incol rect,
indicate, and impertinent in an extra
ordinary degree.

Mr.. b. p. Shillaber, (Mrs. Partington,)
has sent the following lctte. to Preei-
dent Johnson:
BoSToN, Jan. 5, 1863.
AndreW johnson President Of the
United States:
SIR:-I am an humble citizen, whose
name m y have, or not have reached
you, with no favor to ask beyond the
wish to be credited with sincerity, and
am DESTROYS of expressing to you the adj
miratiOn l feel at the course you have
pursued since you assumed the reins OF
government. ! am diffident about do
ing it, lest you should interpre. it as pat
rOnage, but feel that none of us are
praised for our good deeds half so much
as we are blamed fcrOur bad ones. And
for all you have done, the measure has
been running over with abuse and vitu-
peratiOn fro - malignant foes and the
faint praise of lukewarm friends, and
therefore decide to give you one wo.d
of praise from an honest con yiction that
it is deserved. 1t was my fortune to
oppose your election from wrong inn
preston regarding your position, and l
was gratitied to find how tue you were
to the old landmarks of the COnstitu-
ton and have loug wished to tell you
so. 1 have marked your course with
profound interest, almost dreading lest
you should waver, but found you infieX-
IDLY constant. Such fidelity as you have
shown, and inducements to change
such as no man ever met with before,
denotes q character strong as adamant,
and your place in the history of our
times will be al illustrious one. Your
enemies and the enemies of our institu-
tons, must admit your fidelity to your
oil legations. Good men, However blind
ed, must see this, however far politi-
cal demagogues, whose hatred for you
extends just so far as they themselves
have proved false and dishonest, de-
| nounce you. People are slow to think,
but the right thought comes at last in
spite of prejudice, and those who have
villified you through dogmatic de-
votion to party, will grant you hon
esty and accord you justice. Your
forbearance under abuse should assure
you niche as high as that Of Job for
myself, and thousands would do the
same for themselves were they as inn
pulsve as 1 am. 1t is not often that
men address a waning power thus,
but the one who takes off the armor
in tiled service is more to be praised
than he who at the first assumes it /;
you will pardon my presumption in
a dressing you, but 1 could not help
it, but l presume also upon tie that
makes us brothers, tnat may serve
somewhat as voucher for my SINGER
ity. With the profoundest respect,
/ am, dear sir,
Yours, very truly,

Madrid, Oct. 18.-The loss of life in
the fighting which preceded the capture
of Valencia was trifing. OF the national
troops only two were killed and seven
wounded. The losses suffered by the in

of Valencia took part in the revolt. In

London, Oct. 18.-The London Times
to day has an article on Gen. Pfim. The
writer admits that Prim is not a man of
tronscendant genius, but has depth, cool
ness, and boundless ambition. He has
the army in his hands, and intends to keep
it as long as Spain is without a King.
None can Wrest from Prim the sword,
which is the real sceptre of Spain. Prim
sees this, and resolves that no King shall
preside over Spain but one Of bis own
making or under his influence; and, above
all, no MoutpenSjer, whom he has always
opposed. 1t is not easy, or hardly de-
slrabIe TO break through the arrangement
which places in Prim's hands the virtual
sovereignty. If Prim is disposed to make
