A DISTINGUISHED MORNING VISITOR.

HEADQUARTERS, DONCHERY, NEAR SEDAN,
Sept 3.-Yesterday morning quite early car
rage containing four French officers drove out
from Sedan, and came into the German lines.
The carriage was accompanied by three OH
GERS on horseback, but had no other escort,
and when il had arrived among the Germans one
of the occupants put his head out, and asked
them in their own language where was Count
bismarck; he must see him at once. The
Germans said that Donchery was the most
likely spot in which to find the Count, though
no one knew exactly his whereabouts. For
ward. then, to DOnchery." The carriage
dashed away, and many a curious glance was
cast after it. That short drive was asterwan
known to be great historic event. Count

NEW HAVEN, M1DDLETowN AND WILL MANT1o RAnRoAD.-The work on this i'm portant line of railroad is now about com pleted between New Haven and Middle. town, and is being pushed forward rapid ly on the balance of the line to Williman- tic, a distance of only 80 miles with so much vigor as to give assureance of early completion throughout. As the prospect of the opening of this new and direct route to Boston draws nearer, the confidence of the'public seems to increase in it's advanta- ges for business, and the sale of the first mortgage bonds is reported by the inan- cial agents to be so satisfactory that all the funds desired for the energetic prosecution of the work are obtained without delay. The first issues of $500. 900 was readily dis posed of to investors, not in Connecticut alone, but also in this city and elsewhere, ard the high class of the security offered made the loan more acceptable than some others bearing higher rate, of interest, but not presenting equal attractions in the way of safety.

 Our people are greatly chagrined a, the adverse vote in Bridgewater on the railroad subscription, last week. They are confident, however, that this ill-consider ed verdict will soon be reversed. The final survey of tho route is expected to commence soon. The people of Warren, New Preston, Marketable and Worthwhile are very anxious that the Aspetuck and New Milford route should be chosen. The village of New Milford would seem to pre- fer that the railroad should not be built at all, but will probably do something to secure it on the latter route when they consider it sure of construction one way or the other.
 An inquiry has been addressed to the Postmaster of this village requesting in- formation regarding Mrs. Ruth Jackson, the widow of Revolutionary soldier, re- ported as living within the delivery of our post-ofice Anyone who can furnish any information regarding such person will please communicate it to our postmaster.
