NEw PRESTON, Mar. 9th, 1870.

MIR. EDITOR: Among the notable events of this locality has been criminal prose- cution, commenced some six weeks since, against Rufus Smith for an assault upon the person of Geo. O. Hitchcock, which came to trial on the 4th inst, before jus tice H. s. Wheaton assisted by justice G. c. Ford. The Union Hall was crowded by large concourse in attendance upon the trial, which resulted in the acquittal of MT. Smith-a judgement which no unbiased justice could have done otherwise than ren. der. 3-~@I1ia'1 .'-' ," {''''' .
 The committee appointed to confer with the Directors of the H. R.. R. Go. in reference to securing their cooperation in the construction of the recently surveyed branch railway from New Milford to this place, met the said Directors at Bridgeport on the 24th ult., and were very cordially received by them. No definite proposi
 tions were made by either party, but the proposed project was deemed by the H. R R. Co. entitled to their attention and con
 sideration. Accordingly a committee con -sisting of David Leavitt, Wm. D. Bishop
 Wm. H. Barnum and others was appointed by the O. to examine the proposed route and to gain such information in the prem |ises as may lead to some definite action. .s %- a1.- il!tiajt ti.+''-- "

 A repeal of the duty on bituminous coal failed, through the want of time, in the Senate. An attempt to take up the Income Tax Repeal bill was defeated in the House.
 The Southern Pacific railroad bill finally passed both Houses. It grants about IS million acres of public lands. < The Senate finally gives up the old plan of treating with Indian tribes as indepen- dent nations.
 An Ocean telegraph bill passed both houses but was not approved by the Presi- dent on account of certain provisions giv- ing other governments a preference over ours. -aa le' s...l Senator Trumbull secured an amendment to an Appropriation bill opening chance for Civil Service reform.
 The soldiers of 1872, or their widows, are granted pensions.
 The Appropriation bills having all been passed, the Forty First Congress adjourned on Saturday at noon, the bill abolishing the grade of Admiral and Vice Admiral having partially passed the House and that abolishing the coal duty being in like con. dition in the Senate. s-, '.a a The XLIId Congress assembled on the adjournment of the XLIst.

Scott of South Carolina claims that an or ganization of Confederatesl iu many parts of the State obstructs justice, commits murders, and renders assistance of Govern ment troops necessity. In parts of Ken tacky, also, this species of lawlessness is commented on with severity, even by con- servative judges and journals.

Col. Thomas Haruev.

Col. Thomas Harney, for many years a resident of this place. died suddenly of heart disease. at Elizabeth City. N. O.. on the 26th ult., in the 6Sth year of his age. he was a native of North Carolina and graduated at Washington College in that State in 1924. He then studied law and removed to Mississippi where he practiced his profession for many years. His career in that State was honorabIy distinguished by a determined opposition to the Repu. diation schemes of MT. Jefferson Davis and the Mississippi Democracy. He resided in St. Louis for many years, and his business connections in that city continued till his death. Col. Harney was life. long Demo
 crat and sympathized strongly with the South throughout the war. Yet such was the unvarying courtesy and consideratenes' of his demeanor towards opponents, politi. cal or other. that he escaped all those dis. agreabilities which might have been antic
 ipated from wide difference of opinion
 Once only, shortly after the war, the pub
 lication of certain private letters by an ill advised Southern friend, occasioned som, comment; but we have been since assured that such publication was entirely contrar. to his wishes. A large circle of friends, il
 this and other States. regret his loss. .
