GEN. ROBERT O. TrLER, of Hartford, is the gratified recipient of a valuable sword and trap- pings, the gift of some of his menny warm per. sonal friends.
The sword was manufactured by the Ames Co. of Chicopee, MInss. The hilt is heavily mounted with gold, and the seabbard ornamented with a shield, bearing the arms of the city of Hartford. The sword and equipments were enclosed ia a beautiful black walnut case. The cost of this splendid gift was nbout $1,000. The sword was tendered and accepted by the following corres- pondence :-
ΤΗΣ PRESENTATION. (Letter to General Tyler.) HARTFORD, Sept. 26, 1864. Brig. Gen. R. O. Tyler :
DEAR Sin :- During the progress of the present struggle against rebellion, our citizens have re- garded with peculiar interest, the career of each one of the sons of Hartford, who have been en- gaged in behalf of the Government and the Union.
When you were placed in command of a Con- | future labors.
ncetieut regiment, recalling to mind your gallant services on the frontier, during your early con- nection with the army, they felt assured that un- [ " a son of Hartford," notwithstanding my early While I feel that your kindness is far beyond my desert, I am prond of the assurance, that as der your leadership, our soldiers would soon be- come trusted veteraas in the service. The repu- tation of your command-a reputation second to that of no body of troops, either ia the Regular or Volunteer Army, and the reliance placed upon their services by officers of the highest rank -- prove that the anticipations of your friends were not to be disappointed.
While the baaners of the First Connectient Ar- tillery, inscribed by orders of Government, with the historie names of Yorktown. Hauover Court lIonse, Gaines' Mill. Chiekahominy and Malvern Ilill, proudly testify to the heroism with which
at Gettysburg victory rewarded valor, your townsinea did not forget that you shared in the perils and successes of that bloody field.
Of the daring and steady endurance of the Di- vision which followed you with courage undis- mayed to triumph at Spottsylvania, your Com- manding General has already assured the coun- try, and the wound which still detains you from active service, attests your personal gallantry during the brilliant charges at Cold Ilarbor.
While yon are agaia at your home, we, a few of your friends, have united in presenting to you the sword and equipments which accompany this letter, as a testimonial of our high admiration for the honorable distiaction you have won in the many engagements of this protracted coutest. In the hope that long after the restoration of the Union, " one and inseparable," when the events of the last few years shall have become a part of history, forming our proudest and sa llest memo- ries only, you may live to enjoy the blessings which the bravery of yourself and your con- rades have won.
We are very respectfully, your friends, M. M. Merriman, Roland Mather, Edmund G. Howe, N. Shipman, IL. A. Perkins, Jas. L. How- ard & Co . J. Il. Trumbull, Albert Day, Sons & Co., W. H. D.

REPLY OF GEN. TYLER.
Messrs. 31. M. Merriman, Rolund Mather, E. G. Howe, N. Shipman, E. P. Allen, and others : GENTLEMEN :- Accept my warmest thanks for your magnificent gift, and for the flattering ex- pressions of approbation contained ia the accom- panying letter.
Such generous appreciation compensates a sol- dier for all dangers and hardships he may have undergone, and proves a strong incentive to
and long continued absence, I am still remember- ed with kindly interest by friends at home, and that my performance of duty has received their approval. A city which sends forth to battle such soldiers ns the noble, lamented Stedman, the gallant Hawley, aad our other brave spirits, need have no fear for its honor upon auy field, and I shall be indeed grateful if muy services are remembered with theirs.
Whatever success I may have had with a Con- necticut Regiment, and whatever advancement I have gained, is due to the high order of intelli- gence and gallaatry of Connectient troops, and your men were inspired, your city and State to the fact that in carrying out a strict military gladly remembered that the honors due to your | system, I was always thoroughly and generously troops were alike earned by yourself, and when | sustained by that true patriot, Governor Buek- ingham.
Under the fire of the trenches of Petersburg, the First Connecticut Artillery is daily adding to its already high reputation. On every battle- field for the Union, the soldiers of our State are winning new laurels by their daring and devotion. All they desire in return for their sacrifices is, to be sustained by your sympathy and gratitude. Let me assure you that amidst all his labors and dangers, the soldier desires no peace which cannot be accepted with honor, or which looks to anything but the re-establishment of the authority of the Government over the whole country. I entreat you, therefore, as friends to spare no influence or means you may possess, which shall serve to push forward men to fill our armies, and, having sup- plied them that you will patiently trust to GRANT and his skillful Generals, to find the most effect- ive means of crushing rebellion.
Believe me, gentlemen, that when I am permit- ted ngain to return to the field. I shall bear with me a renewed desire to merit your approval, and, with a most grateful sense of your generous kind- ness, allow me to subscribe myself,
Your obedicat servant, R. O. TYLER, Brigadier General.
The presentation of the magnificent sword was followed by a brilliant reception at the residence of the General's father, Frederick Tyler, Esq. The admiring donors of the splendid gift, several members of Gen. Tyler's Staff, and a few aecom- plished ladies, were received with cordial wel- come, and entertained in elegant style. Rarely has a party enjoyed an evening of more refined and unalloyed pleasure.
The event should not poss without a few words to our readers conceraing the accomplished sol- dier, who is the grateful recipient of this splendid sword. Gen. R. O. Tyler, is of the West Point class of 1853, and a class-mate of Sheridan,

sides, and three, viz: MePherson, Sill and Terrill, have been killed on the battle field, in the Union Army.
The high commendation of the General express- ed in the letter of presentation is richly merited. To him as Colonel, the 1st Artillery, chiefly owes its unquestioned reputation as the finest Artillery Regiment in the service. Ilis influenee gave to it not only discipline but soldierly character and spirit. As a brigade and divisinn commander, he has been vigilant, prompt, thorough and intrepid. The just admiration of his many intimate friends is only what must be felt by all, so far as they comprehend his character and career. It is pleasant to record due honor to the worthy brave.
The Institute of Reward.
It will be remembered that Congress, on the 2d of July, 1862, made to the several States of the Union, a grant for the benefit of agriculture and the mechanic arts. Connectieut, in Decem- ber following, accepted her share, and in 1863 ap- propriated it to the endowment of Sheffield Scien- tifie School-providing further in 1864, that in the selection of pupils to be thus educated, prefer- ence be given to those made orphans by the death of a parent in the military or naval service of the United States. The number of pupils who may thus receive free tuition at the Sheffield Scientific School, is sixty, and there is no doubt that sixty will, within two years at farthest, avail them- selves of the opportunity. Among these, some, perhaps many, though deserving and eager for an education, will be unable to defray the expenses of board and clothing. Ilence, the officers of the Institute of Reward, (organized at the beginning of the war, at New York, and now extending its branches into all the States.) propose as an auxil- iary, the Connecticut " Institute of Reward," to assist in supporting these worthy and needy sons of patriots.
The "Connecticut Institute of Reward," will consist of persons who are willing to pledge themselves to furnish a portion of this supplemen- tal aid.
A sufficient number of gentlemen having pledged themselves to supply each a portion of the supplemental fund, a meeting was held in New Haven, Oct. 15th, at the residence of Jere- miah Day, Ex-President of Yale College.
Organization was effected by choice of the fol- lowing officers:

Railroad Accident.
A special train was chartered by the Govern- ment, Oet. 15th, to carry 270 siek or wounded sol- diers from Knight Hospital to the Hospital in Rendville, Mass., under charge of Lieut Stearns, V. R. C., and Surg. T. H. Bishop. When about a mile east of South Lyme, the pressure of the cars snapped a rail, the whole train was dashed against the ragged sides of a rocky eut through which it was passing, and the cars completely smashed. Hardly a man escaped slight injury and many were horribly mutilated. Eleven were killed and more than forty seriously injured.

Ilints of charges of carelessness or worse mis. conduct on the part of the Railroad Co., have been freely made in the newspapers, but on care- ful examination, the accident seems to have been one which no vigilance could have adequately provided against. The rails along the entire road are considerably worn, and should ere long, be replaced by new iron.
Paying Soldiers' Families.
The following plan for paying to the families of officers and soldiers in the service of the United States, who are or may become prisoners of war, sums due them by the Government, having been approved by the President, Is published for the end Savings Bank ; John Woodruff, Collector of information of all concerned :
" Payment will be made to persons presenting a written authority from a prisoner to draw his pay ; or, without such authority, to his wife, the guardian of his minor children, or his widowed mother, in the nrder named "
Application for such pay must be made to the senior paymaster of the district in which the regi- meut of the prisoner is serving, and must be accompanied by the certificate of a judge of a court of the United States, of a district attorney of the United States, or of some other party, un- der the seal of a court of record of the State in which the applicant is a resident, setting forth that the said applicant is the wife of the prisoner, the guardian of his children, or his widowed mother ; and if occupying either of the last two relationships toward him, that there is no one in existence who is more nearly related, according to the above classification.
Payments will be made to parties thus author- ized and identified, on their receipts made out in the manner that would be required of the prisoner, himself, at least one month's pay being in all cases retained by the United States. The officer making the payment will see that it is entered on the last previous mnster roll for the payment of the prisoner's company, or will report it, if these rolls are not in his possession, to the senior paymaster of the district, who will either attend to the en- try, or give notice of the payment to the Pay- master-General, if the rolls have been forwarded to his office .-- Army and Navy Journal.
Soldiers' Votes.
The Commissioners have all returned. Votes have been collected at all points except at New- bern and its vicinity. The health regulations dlebarred the Commissioners from visiting those points, and the soldiers there will probably lose their votes at this important election.
The vote, which we cannot give exactly, is in large majority for Lincoln and Johnson. We hope to give full returns in our next number.
The Uniou ! The Union ! The hope of the free, Howsoe'er we may differ in this we agree ; Our glorious banner no traitor shall mar, By effacing a stripe, or destroying a star ! Division ! No, never ! The Union forever !
And eursed be the hand that our country wonld sever !
THE MILITARY COMPANY of Wethersfield have received a very handsome silk banner, costing $100, from the patriotic ladies of that town.

REGIMENTAL.
The 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 21st and 29th Conn. Regiments aud the First Light Battery are with the
ARMY OF THE JAMES,
on the North side of the River. They have seen stern service during the past month, and added new laurels to the many before gallantly won.
The 8th receives commendation as leading the charge on Fort Harrison, and first planting the colors of the State and nation on the breast works of the enemy. Both Color Sergeants and Corpo- aral Iliekok, receive promotion for bravery, as will be seen in another eolninn.
The 10th, leading magnificently iu another des. perate but unavailing charge, has incurred the irreparable loss of its accomplished Major, H. W. Camp. No reports except through the newspa- pers, have yet been received from the other reg- iments in this army. The exciting political can- vass absorbs all attention everywhere. When the sinoke of civil battle has cleared away, we shall all, with confidence, attend to our wonted business.
The First Artillery belongs nominally to the 18th Corps, but is scattered along the whole ex- tended line of impregnable intrenchments.
ARMY OF THIE POTOMAC. THE 14TH REGIMENT
Forms a part of the 2d Corps of this Army, and consequently must have been with Hancock in his recent movement to the left, for the purpose of flanking the enemy's line of works, and thus forcing evacuation. It is believed, however, that this gallant and decimated regiment did not suf- fer severely.
The 1st Cavalry, 1st Battalion Cavalry, the 9th, 12th, 13th, 18th regiments, are in the
ARMY OF THE SHENANDOAH,
and have contributed their full share in the magnificent achievements in the valley.
We were surprised to learn on the evening of Oct. 31st, that the 18th were in New Ilaven. They were hastily supplied with erackers and cheese, and seut on a kind of experimental trip to Saybrook and back to New Ilaven. No one knew exactly their destination, but on Tuesday morning they marehed up Chapel street and stacked arms to spend the bright day on the New Haven Green -- a cheerful, healthy, hardy column of stalwart men. We have never seen a finer looking body of men. No one knew why they were here. It could not be to vote. because they have already voted. It probably is to cheek any outbreak which may oceur on or previous to election day.
All real Union men were glad to see them. But it is worthy of record that while heartily wel- comed by the majority of citizens, there were those who knit their brows and clenched their teeth and seowled. There were those who openly hissed and cursed the nation's defenders, as they marehed-and they were members of a party which pretends to be friendly to the soldier, and which supports as its candidate a Major General of the United States Army. They offer as exense for this despicable conduet, the elinsy pretext, that the soldiers are here to interfere with free-
doin of the ballot. This pretended exense is bnt Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be a further insult. Are our soldiers pliant tools or forwardel by the Secretary, to the family of Capt. ! Smith ; also copies to the CONN. WAR RECORD, and N. II. Palladium, for publication.
intelligent men ? They are intelligent men who elearly comprehend this momentous struggle- who are soldiers, not to override, but to maintain all our free institutions, and who wirt maintain them against every foe abroad or at home.
The soldiers of the 18th and the people of New ! Haven will never forget this exhibition of these scowls and taunts. They are now quartered at the U. S. Rendezvous.

Mr. Wheeler was mortally wounded in an as- sault by the rebels on LaFourche, on the evening of June 21st, 1863, and survived until the morning of the 24th. During all this time he suffered mnch, but in the language of his surgeon, " No one conld have told this from any audible expres- sion, so quiet, so peaceful, so resigned was he." " It was sad, but sweet." writes his Captain. " to stand by his side and hear him talk of Christ,
there are no wars or rumors of wars." When told that in all probability he would soon die, he appeared a little surprised but calmly said: " I
me home." About ten minutes before he expired one said: " You suffer much." Ile replied, "itis sweet to suffer for the enuse of Christ," and thus calmly breathed his life away.
