 t is matter Of little surprise and regret that Jusffia himself, by reason of passion, prejudice, ds-incna-

 On, OT want of knowledge or for some other cause, should have withheld from the public eye full and impartial account of the transaction to which he a- lndes-as a true version of the affair alone would most efectually repel the inference and eface the impression of an erroneous and reproachful nature,

 liable to be deduced and created by the doubtless un intentially inaccurate statement of Justita."

 The writer of this is a resident ot Winsted, and knew nothing of the affair referred to till the appear. ance Of the article to which this is a reply. He has taken pains to elicit a knowledge of the facis the grievances of which Justta complains, and they are substantially these: The notice for the performance by the Waterbury Band, was pu; up tke evening be: fore to take place. Few, very few, of the peo pie of this place knew any thing of the intended hbiriOn; and even many of the residents on the Green were not advised of the fact till the time of the personal appearance of the performers here, and then come supposed it was 71e Winsted Brass Band, and most knew nothing ot the object. Nor can the writer learn that any of the inhabitants of this place,

 living ht,e remote from the village, had any knowl edge whatever of the intended Concert and if they had, being principally farmers, the limited evenings, the pressing acquisitions for agricultural aid, and the fatgues of that laborous pursuit. at this season of the year, would render their attendance upon that or a similar occaeion at least extremely problematicaI- consequently the collection was sma ll.

 But there was an occurrence entirely, the writer is informed, unprovoked by our Waterbury friends, which is here, as it should be every where, and by eUsry adult citizen e his pacr it is believed, openly .. sr, oE which, no responsibility can, OF ought to rest upon the substantial people Of the place. There was a small group of persons, assembled about the place of performance, all of whom, as we'll as can be ascer- tained, were in their minority, and nearly all, in the ordinary acceptstion of the term, mere beys," who were very dsorderly disrespectful, clamorous and impudent. They required and richly deserved rather a rigid discipline and lecture under the application of the birch, than the honor of notice in the public prints; and it is confidently believed that judging from their department the occasion referred to, the good sense and intelligence of the Waterbury. band would, at least, in the exercise of their sober second thoughts lead them to conclusions of somewhat similar nature, and finally to an apprecia. ton of the whole difficulty in light substantially similar to the one taken by TWISTED.

 The day was ushered in by a National Salute of thirteen guns. The procession, under the direction of w. J.
