THIS article hasbeen thoroughly teSted' by
. builder's, Architects, and others, and the
experience of years, has proved it to ' be the
cheapest. and most- dura’ble/roofing in use;
We call attention to the following facts :

. .lst-nIt is fire and water proof.

2d,‘—.From- its great elasticity it is not inju-

whether steep or flat, and is ,not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs. '

4th—The costvis only about One-Half that
of ‘Tin, and it is twice as durable. '
Itgis readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing, the shingles, which is a
great desideratum to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru-
ined, while repairs are being made.

Leaky Tin‘ and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired. with Gutta Percha Cement, and
prevented'from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a'perfectly water-tight roof
for many years.

Specimens of the Rcofing can be seen by
calling on the subscriber, at, Soutlr Norwalk.
All ‘orders by lctter'will receive prompt at-
tention. D. F. HUNT, South N orwalk.

When Freedom, from her mountain height,
Unfnrl'd’ her standard to the air,

She tore the azure robe ofnight,
And set the stars of glory there.

She mingled with its georgeons dyes

The milky baldric of the skies, ‘

And striped its pure, celestial white,

With streakings of the morning light ;

Then from his mansion in the sun

She called her eaglefbearer down,

And gave into his mighty hand ‘

The symbol of her chosen land.

Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rcar'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumplngs loud
And see lightning lances driven,
When strive the .warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven ;
Child of the sun! to thee ‘tis given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur-smoke,
To ward away the battle-stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victory !

Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hepc and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet-tone,
Andt one line comes gleaming on.
Ere ye e life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimm’d the glistening bayonet,
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn;
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war' and vengeance from the glance.
And when the cannon mouthinge loud
Heuve in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And gory sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnight‘s pull;
Then shall' thy meteor glow,
And cowering fees shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.

Flag of the seas! on ocean wave

Thy stars shall glitter o’er the brave ;
When death careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
Aug frighted Whns‘msb \vildiflinck
Before the‘broadslde’s reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea

Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly

In triumph o‘er his closing eye.

Flag of the free heart’s hope and home !
By angel hands to valor given : ‘
The stars have lit the welkin dome
And all thy hues were born in heaven,
FOREVER FLOAT THAT STANDARD SHEET l
Where breathes the foe but falls before us, '
With Freedom‘s soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom’s banner streaming o‘er us.

BY THEIR FRIEND AND BROTHER, B. OUTHRIE

NORWALK, CT., June 22-3, 1861.

In your hands is the fate of our country.
In despotisms a few great and good men may
save a nation, in a nation’s emergency, but
not so here. You yourselves must make or
mar your country. Where popular sove-
reignty rules, the people must be able to ex-,
ercisc legislative power by their intelligence
and virtue, or all is lost.

We have all had sufllcient proof that “par-
ty is the madness of many for the gain of a
few.” It is time that you, the people, took
your affairs into your own keeping, without
party influences or caucus leading strings. If
my views are false reject them, if suggestive
of truth make them your own.

I am induced to address you at this partic-
ular time, because there are men who are
still laboring to sow the seeds of dissension
among us. Men who, though cowered by
the mighty power of an insulted people
roused to vindicate their honor, are not satis-
fied to hide their insignificanw in decent ob-
scurity, but are seen gathering in little knots
infusing their treasonable poison. I hear
these men say “a rc-action is taking place,”
our time will come soon. What do they
mean by re-aetion,what is the time they hope
for? Is it that they hope for and will help
all they dare that a rebel flag shall float over
your Capitol? Do they really hope your
Government may be subverted—Jeff. Davis
substituted for Washington—a slave code for
our glorious institution ? Do they wish for
reverses to your noble and patriotic army,
that your sons and brothers may be mur.
dered, poisoned by ruflians? Do they long
to see the blood-red flag of the pirate in the
sound, capturing the vessels of Norwalk,.ol‘
would they like to aid them in the sacking of
our town, that they might wreak their ven-
geance on those they hate or envy ?

The engrossing topic is now war, but that
will pass when we have chastised insolencc
and usurpation. Let us “look through the
troubled surface of the deep, to the vast cur-
rents flowing underneath,” and be prepared
by pure, enlightened and patriotic views so
to legislate that you shall leave to your chil-
dren the rich inheritance you derived from
your fathers. The particular subject of this
letter I would introduce by an extract from
the Report of the Committee on Foreign Af-

 

'fairs, on‘ Jefl. Davis’ Message. Thus they

speak of the position they would have you
take, thus of your dreaded influence on the
government through a free vote at the polls:

With universal suffrage they influence and
may control the elections, and throu h the
elections, the government. The evi day,
when those who own no property will be
the majority at the polls, may be put ofi‘ for
a time. It has been putofl‘ in the North,by our
vacant territory, and the Union with the
South, showering upon them an artificral
prosperity. But the evil day must come at
last and may not be for distant. Nearly ev-
ery corner of Europe, acknowledges its exis-
tence. And when that day comes, will their
free institutions stand the conflict which must
arise ? Will property beprotccted fl'om con-
fiscation and appropriation? Will non-
property holders live in wantand starvation,
with the government in their hands, by

 

which they can, by all the forms of inmate

- unedited socialriewsr. . . '

1 betas look. at their programme. for it is all
developed now. Its first great principle is
thescrvility of labor, This isthe great-ques-
tion in which you are all interested. Our
lustitutiops teach that; labor is honorable,
that ‘ni working man has all the rights of a
man. Not only to life", liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness, butthat he is sovereign in
his aggregate capacity. . All government is
but the instrumentto carry out his will, and
administer the laws which he makes for his
protection and. the. security of his ' social
rights. They say that theirais a better prin-
ciple, that capital shouldown the laborer as
Well as labor, and that it. is a better institu-
tion for the Working man motto have politi-
cal power than that he should. Their lan-
gnage is, you have universal sufl’rage, an in-
stitution fraught with evil, because it, may
centrolthe elections and, through the elec-
tions, the government. Hear these, ye dem-
ocrats, and wonder where those stand with
Southern sympathies.

' ‘ All who have attentively watched the de-
velopmcnt of the Southern conspiracy, must
recognize in the following statement a pic-
ture, however revolting, at least no fiction.
1st. Servility of labOI, whether done by
white or black. . That it is a fact in God's
economy that labor unfits a man for the exer-
cise of political rights, or social equality.—
That labor is undignified, dependent, degra-
ding. That property shall qualify a. man.—

Without property, be he ever so noble or in-
telligent, he shall not, vote, because, being a
non-property holder, his vote may come in
60mpetition with capital, and endanger the
rights of property. 011‘! my God! this doc-
tri'ne broached in America. lf'this be true
where are the hopes of man. Why was the
blessed gospel once preached to the poor.—
Why hath patriot fought or poet sang?
Must I forget those . strains that have
inspired me from my boyhood, in the
all-hallowed song of the Heaven-inspired
Burns—“a man’s a man for a’ that.”

2d. That there is a dominant race (them-
selves) and an inferior race (the Ethiopians).
That these teeming millions of the tropics of

Africa, with all their posterity through all
time, are not men but things, to be stolen
hence and consigned to the chivalry of the
South as chattels. Through all their gene-
rations no manhood, no womanhood, no
childhood, no improvement, no home, no
hope. Horrid blasphemy, at which the Chris-
tian mind stands aghast. When did God
give one portion of his children to be the
chattels ofhis fellow man. What, short of a
revelation from Heaven, would give to an
insignificant portion of the white race, the
untold millions of Africa, through her thou-
sands of generations. When this stupen-
dous fact is announced, let it be in the lan-
guage of the prophets of old, “Thus saith the
Lord,” and let his credentials be clearly
drawn cm I believe him.

3d in the programme. Unlimited territory

to afford ample room for the millions of im-
ported Africans, (for their Constitution lies
when it forbids the slave trade,) first Mexico,
then Cuba,then Central America—in the dis-
tanCe New Grenada, and Northern and cen-
tral South America, Brazils, &c. “ Dream
on, let a solace render profane thy hallowed
solitude.”

4th article. Cut loose from Federal power
and Northern civilization, .free press, free
speech,free vote—and let Lecompton Consti-
tution only prevail. '

5th-3-Glory. All political powers being in
the hands of a few, then a standing army of
the poor whites to fight the battles of ag-
gression Southwa‘rd or Northward as exigen-
cies may demand. Fools and madmen, do
they ever read history, or do they, in their
presumption, deem themselves the special
favorites of Heaven, that God’s thunderbolts
can never reach them. Did not Spain only
three centuries ago found such an empire on
this very continent, and with what result ?—

Spanish rapine was succeeded by Spanish
decay, for their system was rotten at the core.
Spain dwindled in population to one-half of
its original amount; all its prestige dimmed
and reduced so low in the scale of nations,
that she has only within the last year once
more assumed her position as a European
power. . And where are her mighty cou-
quests now, and brilliant empire formed up-
on Slavery and the product of one article of
Commerce? Behold them in California,
Texas, Mexico, Central America, Cuba, most
of which you now have, and want the rest.
Oh that you would take to your hearts the
testimony of all history, in confirmation of
the truth of Holy writ, “That the Most High
ruleth in the kingdoms of men,” and will,
though Southern chivalry be rampant.

6th vision—Free importation of foreign
goods. This they say will lay at their feet
the food of the West, the skill at the North
and of all Europe. Our slave labor shall be
exchanged for European pauper labor, that
will reduce Northern wages to the same lev-
el. The “mud-sills of the North, greasy
mechanics, and smoll-fisted farmers” shall
find théir appropriate level, in competing
with slave labor and free trade. We, the
chivalry of the South, will command the ar-
my and navy, fill the judiCiary and all places
of honor and trust, guide the State to our
ends, while you pigmies of the North peep
under our huge legs.

And all these aerial castles founded upon
one agricultural raw material! Why, this is

WAR MATTERS;
A Fight at Vienna.

Five Killed, Six wounded, Nine Missing.

 

 

VVAsnINCTox, June 18,
The following was received late last night
from the telegraphic camp to Gen. Scott:

field and Company officers, in pursuance of'
Gen. McDowell’s orders to go upon this ex-
pedition with the available force of one of
myTregiments. The. regiment selected was
the Elat Ohio volunteers. ‘

Left companies J and K, with an aggre-
te of 135, men, at coming of the ran .-1—-
: lit Lieutenant-Colonel Parrot with ‘two
companies, 117 men, to Fall’s Church. to
protect‘th’e roads in that . direction. Station-
‘e'd companies D‘and F, ' 185 men, to guard
the (railroad and bridge between the crossing
.and vicinity. ‘Proeeeded slowly to Vienna
with four com' aniesJ—Co.IE., Capt. Paddock;
00; C, Lieut. oodworth, afterwards joined
‘py Capt. Pease; Co. G, Capt. Bailey, and Co.

, Capt. Hazelett.

In turning the curve slowly, within one
quarter of a mile from Vienna, were fired
upOn by a raking masked battery, of, Ithink,
three guns, with shells, round shot and grape,
killing and wounding the men on the plat-
form and in the cars, before the train could'
be stopped. When the train stopped, on-
gine couldn’t, on account of damage to some
part of’the machinery, draw the train out of
fire. The engine being in the rear. We left
the cars and retired to the right and led of
the town, through the woods. Finding that
the enemies’ batteries were sustained by what
appeared to be about a regiment of infantry
and by cavalry, which force we since under—
stood to have been some fifteen hundred
South Carolinians. We fell back along the
railroad throwing out skirmishers on both
flanks. This was about 7 p. m. Thus we
retired slowly, bearing off our wounded, five
miles, to this point, which we reached at 10
o’clock.

Casualties—Capt. Hazelett’s company—-
two known to be killed, three wounded and
five missing; Capt. Bailey‘s company—three
killed, twowounded, two missing; Captain
Paddock’s company—one oflicer slightly
Wounded; Capt. Pease’s company, two mis
sing. The engineer, when the men left the
cars, instead of'retiring slowly as I ordered,
detached his engine with one passenger car
from the rest of the train, and abandoned us,
running to Alexandria—and we have ,heard
nothing of him since. Thus we were de-
prived of a rallying point, and of all means
of conveying the wounded, who had to be
carried on litters and in blankets. We wait-
ed here, holding the road for reinforcements.

The enemy did not pursue. I have ascer-
tained that the enemies force at Fairfax
Court House, four miles from Vienna, were
about 4000. '

When the batteries opened upon us, Ma-
jor Hughes, was at his station, on the fore-
most platform car. Col McCook was with
me, in one oi the passenger cars. Both of
these officers, with other commissioned ofli-
cers, and many of the men, behaved most
cooly under this galling fire, which we could
not return, and from batteries which we
could not flank, or turn, from the nature of
the ground. —

The approach to Vienna. is through a. deep
long cut in the railway. In leaving the cars,
and before they could rally, many of my
men lost their knapsacks and blankets, but
brought off all their muskets, except it may
be a few that were destroyed by the enemies
first fire, or lost with the killed.

Ronnnr A. SCHENCK, Brig. Gen.

 

ALEXANDRIA, June 18, 1861.

The train which went to the relief of the
Ohio troops, containing the lat and 2d Con-
necticut Regiments. proceeded as far as four
miles this side of Vienna, where they met
the remnant of the Ohio troops, at 4 o’clock
this morning. It appears that after the en.
ginc left last night, nineteen rounds were
fired. The rebels made no further demon-
stration, and the Ohio companies retired.

 

ALEXANDRIA, June 18.

A train which arrived from Vienna at 4
o’clock this afternoon, reports all quiet at
that point. There were 5,000 Federal troops
including Rawson’s battery, in the vicinity.

Two more wounded men of the Ohio Reg-
iment were found to-day in a farm house in
the vicinity of Vienna, whither they had
crawled.

Private Mercer died this afternoon.

The number of casualties is killed 8;
wounded 7.

It is providential that the rebels themselves
retired with the impression that the force
which they attacked was but the advance
guard of the grand army, and that the engine
in putting back was after reinforcements,
otherwise the small band might, in reality,
have been cut in pieces, which it was feared
at first was the case.

 

Interesting from Missouri and Kansas—
A Battle expected.

ST. LOUIS, June 18.—The Democrat has
advices from Kansas, that aportion of Mont-
gomery men,‘,under Capt. Jennison, with

harpe’s rifles and revolvers, reached Wyan-

hundred mounted men, will at once take
possession of the Kansas and Missouri line,
ready to meet Gov. Jackson’s forces, whenev-
er they make a movement from Indepen-
dence towards Kansas City.

The militia and volunteer companies,nnm-
bering several thousand, are ready to march
to the border, as soon as orders are given.

The Republican learns that on Sunday
morning there were 2,000 State troops at
Boonevillc, and another 1000 at the oppo-
site landing.. Artillery had been posted on

Repulee of Secessioniets.
BOONEVILLE, June 18.

About thirty rebels attacked a small num-
ber of our troops who were guarding the
Dardince Creek bridge, on the Missouri road,
near St. Charles. but were repulsed. Two
of our troops are said to have been mortally
wounded.

 

' Rumored Battle.

in a skiff from six miles below Boonville,
bringing news that Gen. Lvon had attacked
and completely routed the State forces there,
killing three hundred and taking sir hundred
prisoners. Gen. Price he stated was mortally
wounded. The Federal force sustained a
loss of seventeen men. Full confidence is
placed in the report.“

 

WThe New York Central Railroad Co.

over that road all volunteers returning
home on account of sickness, or upon fur-
lough. .

From the Mayscille (Kg/J Eagle.
Lincoln Muskets and Lincoln Gold.

According to secession logic this is Lin-
coln’s government and everything in it be-
longs to him. The city of Washington is
Lincoln’s capital, and the army and navy are
Lincoln’s army and navy. The “stars and
stripes” are also Lincoln’s,,and he has an ex-
clusive ownership in Yankee Doodle and
Hail Columbia. They designate everything
belonging to the government as Lincoln's,
and with this paltry demagoguery succeed in
making men hate the government of their
fathers. The say that the arms of the Home
Guards are Lincoln guns, and no matter how
worthy the motive may be, no one ought to
take one of them from the Lincoln govern—
ment. But they do not appear to have the
same opinion of Lincoln gold. The head
devil of their party in Kentucky, J ohnC.
Breckinridge, gets his living out of Lincoln’s
pocket. - Old Abe pays him a stipend of $3,-
000 per annum, besides his traveling expenses
' and the favorite son of Kentucky has drawn
and will continue to draw the last cent of it.
» He pays his board and his washcrwoman
with Lincoln’s money ;‘ he buys" fine clothes
with it; he sends his fine boys to school with
it; and Lincoln pays for his mint juleps and
cigars. And in order to get it, John has‘no
very insuperable objection to taking an oath
to support the Constituion. Lazarus Powell
another secessionist, defrays his family ex-
penses with Lincoln gold. And so does the
District Judge, a secessionist and the father
of secessionists, and does not considered him-
self at all disgraced thereby. The fact is that
the secessionists no longer have the dividing
out of the gold,and probably never will have it
again. Lincoln has got control of the coin,
and that is what is the matter with them.—
Floyd and Cobb, and others of the same
stripe, no longer have a chance to rifle the
strong boxes, but if that is to be done at all
Lincoln’s friends will have a hand in it.—
There’s Were the shoe prlnches. Any of
them will accept a seat in Congress with $3,-
000 of Lincoln’s gold for incidental expenses.
It is only old fifteen dollar muskets they
despise.

Patriotism of Adopted Citizens.

The nlacrity and zeal with which our
adopted citizens have rallied to the defense
of the government, is most honorable to
them, and most auspicious of success to the
national cause. The Albany Evening J our-
nal has the following pleasant paragraph on
the subject:

“In visiting the seat of war, we are pleas-
antly impressed by the numerous, disciplined
and soldierly legions of adopted citizens.—
We say pleasantly impressed, because we
have ever insisted that in the hour of great
peril, this class of citizens would be true to
their allevianee. The New York Sixty-
ninth, an rish Regiment, has from the day
it landed at Annapolis, besides doing its reg-
ular camp-duty, labored as hard as men ever
labored at home. And all is done cheerful-
ly. There are three splendid German Reg-
iments, from the cities of New York and
Brooklyn; and there is a very large infusion
of the German and Irish in the Twenty-fifth
(Albany) and other Regiments. There are,
also, Poles and Italians in the service. And
,last, though by no means least, came the
Seventy-ninth (Scotch) Regiment, than
which it is difficult to find truer men or bet-
ter soldiers. The sons of Britain, too, equal-
ly devoted and patriotic, are organizing their
lewion for service. So that of the troops at

ashington and Fort Monroe, there cannot
be less than ten or twelve thousand adopted
citizens.

The town of Alexandria, which is attrac-

along the line yclept Mason and Dixon, some
ten years ago was the resort of divers skillful
professors of the picture books, wherein the
Jack of Spades doth figure somewhat pron».

found himself, after several night sessions,
indebted to the fortunate proprietor Of said
picture books in the Sum of three thbusa'nd
dollars, and being a man of honor, hewould
pay, a “debt of honor,” though it killed him

entered against the “professor” by his vic-

and condemned to be sold at public anotion.
He wasaccordingly “put up” at a public

He now began to bid himself to save his.

induce his victim to “dry up” in his earnest
endeavors to avail himself of such evaluable
piece of loafer flesh, for which sum the live
stock was finally knocked off to himself.—
After much ado the amount was raised,
when he was allowed to depart from the
