When the Civil War broke out, and the President of the United States called for volunteers, among the first to respond from Newtown was Charles ". Dayton, whose home was in Sandy Hook. He had not been long at the front, before some evil-minded person circulated reports derogatory to his loyalty, the result of which was the receipt of letter from headquarters, addressed to my father, who was then living in Sandy Hook at the Merritt homestead, opposite the griSt mill. The letter is all the more interesting because it concerns one of our much respected citizens, who has just passed away. It was found among my fathers a just tribute to loyal man, who l do not suppose had any knowledge of it's existence. It will be pleasure to me to turn it over to him, that it may be an heirloom in his family down to the latest genera tiOn, to whom it will have more than a money value E. L. J. The letter was as follows:
 Camp near Kelly's Ford, Va,
 August Is, 1863.
 Charles Johnson, Esq, Dear Sir: l learn from good authority, that story is in circulation and has gained ere dence that c. w. Dayton from Sandy Hook, Ct., is anything but true and loyal man. 1 was taken prisoner at the late battle of Charlottesville and have but recently joined my command. The honor of every member of my company is dear to me and c. w. Day ton being among that number, l take great pleasure, even at this late date, in pronouncing the statement utterly false, and in order to do an act of jus tice to a man who has faithfully dis charged his duty as a soldier or in any capacity in which he may have been called upon to act. If the OriginatorS of the base lie are residents of the Hook they would have showed a much better spirit by shouldering their mus kets and giving years of their life to their country in her peril than by re- maining at home and villifying man whom they would not dare say aught against were he at home to force the lie down their coWardly and traitor ous throaUs. Hoping that after read ing this, when opportunity offers, dc justice to an absent soldier, 1 remain, Very respectfully your obedient ser vant,-[ Henry D. Pardee, Captain 2Oth Conn. Vols, Commanding Company E

 Dear Sir: A rapid advance in stock prlces cook place this morning. It was followed by vigorous recession in the afternoon. It is approximately two weeks since the market has had anything like a reaction prior to to- day, and in view of the very eXcesSiveS that have been scored in the interval, a recession cannot be considered un- natural. The reaction in prices did not begin until late in the afternoon and prior thereto there was tremen- dous buying, being stimulated by a fu- riOus advance in Union Pacific and a

THE DANES
ARE EXCITED
OVER THE EXPECTED PASSAGE
OF BALTIC FLEET THROUGH
DANISH WATERS.

Copenhagen, Oct. 13.-(London
Times )-Great excitement has been
caused here by the expected passage of
the Russian Baltic fleet through Dan
ish waters In the course of the day.
The biggest ships can only go through
the great belt between iceland and the
Funen Islands.
A number Of Danish pilots left sew
eral days ago for Reval and Libau, as
their services had been requested on
behalf Of the Russian navy.
1t is rumored here that Japanese
spies have chartered neutral ships In
Danish waters In order to watch the
Russian feet.
For the purpose Of securing respect
for Denmark's neutrality the Danish
cruiser Heimdal and number of tor
pedo boats have been ordered to put to
sea. 1t Is thought likely that the Rus
sian feet will coal on the high seas
near the Skaw.
