GEORGE A. DAVENPORT,
One week from next Monday!
—And Connecticut is to give in her verdict
in favor of the Constitution, the Union and
the en10rcenient of the Laws, or in favor of
traitors in arms, seeking to overthrow the
Government, and those who aid and abet
and sympathize with them—for, to our shame
be it said, there are those right here in Con-
necticut who talk of “peace” when war'is
forced upon us, who haul down. the Stars and
Stripes to run up the white rag of treason,
and who, but for the terrors of Fort Warren
and Fort Lafayette, would be as open and
loud-mouthed in their treasonable utterances
as are the maddest secessionists of the
South.
And shall glorious Connecticut, whose
blood stained every battle-field Of the Revo-
lution, falter now in this our hour of trial?
Shall our noble sons and brothers who as Re-
publicans or Democrats in times past, but as
or
PATRIOTS now, are facing the traitor hordes
—shall these be made to blush by the good
old State’s giving in such a verdict as shall
make all rebeldom rejoice? God forbid.—
Let it not be said, to our eternal disgrace,that
while our land is filled with the groans and
sobs of the widows and orphans of those
killed in battle, that Connecticut takes sides
with the enemy! That ademocratic victory
would be thus accounted, it is no exagger. -
tion to affirm. See to it then, ye honest
democrats who earnestly and heartily hate
this rebellion; bestir yourselves ye sluggish
Republicans, and see to it that while our
hearts are in the war and with all those who
have gone thither, that we save them and
ourselves from dishonor and shame, by bring-
ing out every Union voter on MONDAY WEEK.

New School Edifice.
Our friends who were so fortunate as to
retain with their District the old Union
School grounds, have been still more fortu-
nate in that they have had no disturbing ele-
ments, and what is most astonishing of all,
for a Norwalk enterprise, there has been an
almost unanimous concurrence of opinion as
to the location, character, style and capacity
Of their new School edifice. The plans have
been agreed upon, the contracts given out,
and all without a quarrel! Just think of it!
A school house erected in Norwalk, and
“niver a fight i” \Ve may now look for
peaceful gatherings at Donnybrook Fair.
The new edifice is to occupy the site of the
former Union School House, is to be of
brick, and as nearly fire proof as it can well
be made. The plans are the result of the
genius of Mr. Inslee of New York, who
has left so many evidences of his good taste
in the private residences which beautify our
village and county. The building will ac-
commodate four hundred children. In our
judgment, it is all that good taste and the
present and probable future wants Of the
district can require, with perhaps a single
exception. Upcn a critical examination of
the plans, we saw no means of ventilation
through the roof or the side walls,and to our
mind no such edifice should be constructed
without supplying fresh air to the hundreds
of pairs of little lungs which are to struggle
for life within the enclosure like so many
panting fish drawn from their native ele-
ment. We may be answered that the rooms
are full Of windows,—grant it—yet who but
knows the danger of throwing down a win-
dow and exposing to a draught of air, a child
which rushes into school all aglow with
heated face and perspiring body. But two
weeks since we recorded the death of a son
of the editor of the New Haven Palladium,
(a noble'boy of 18,) after two days illness,
caused by sitting and studying for a short
time, in the draught of his window raised
only two inches. Then again, during the
prevalence Of storms, when the atmosphere
is most, liumid'and . heaviest, the windows
must be kept closed, and then the poisoned
air from two hundred pairs of lungs niiist

AFFLICTIVE.—Ou1‘ friend and
Lewis Curtis, Esq, has just. been called to
pass one of the most terrible ordcals it is pos-
sible for a parent to endure, in the loss of
his son, a noble boy of some thirteen sum-.
iners, by that most frightful of all youthful
scourgcs, dyptheria. On Wednesday, the
lad complained of slight indisposition, indi-
cating only a cold, and it was not until
Sunday morning, as we learn, that serious
apprehensions were felt for his safety ; but
alas, the hidden power of that subtle poison
was even then hurrying its vicrim to the
grave; for as the Sabbath bells had ceased
their tolling for evening worship his little
spirit winged its flight to the abode of the
angels. No prcinonitory shadows cast their
gloom over the little sufi'crer’s brow to wean
the parent‘s heart from its fond idolatry~but
quick and sudden as the lightning's bolt
from a summer sky,camc the crushing blow.
GOd pity the parents and pity us all, who
with stricken hearts, mourn the loss of these
buds of hope. '
“Charley was a good boy,” is the simple
yet eloquent acclaim of his little playfcllows,
and most heartily can we attest to his noble,
man-like bearing. lVe knew him well, Often
took especial pains to engage him in conver-
sation, so winning were his ways. He met
his fate with the same manly fortitude which
had characterized his life, standing up in full
strength, and taking by the hand and bid-
ding one and another of his little comrades
“good bye” as serenely as if he were to be
gone but a day. Surely the—
“Good die first,
While those whose hearts are dry as summer stub—

That the Great Father, who doetli all
things well” may pour the Oil of His conso-
lation into the hearts of these parents, so
suddenly bereaved, is, we are sure, the pray-
er of this whole community, who deeply
‘ sympathize with them in their overwhelm-

the cut just above Kent Station, on the Dan—

conipietcly enveloped in flames coming from
a platform car next the tender, loaded with
hay. Altogether, the train was in a bad fix.
The hay was on fire al‘ilover; if they

INIIUMANITY on RAILROAD OFFICIALS.—
About 95 wounded soldiers from Roanoke,
(20 of them belonging in Connecticut, the
rest in Massachusetts rcgimeuts,) came up
from New York Tuesday afternoon, in
charge Of Col. Aiken, Quartermaster General
of this state, and Dr. Alfred Hitchcock, of
Gov. Andrew’s Council. The testimony of
Dr. Ilitchcock shows that the wounded sol-
diers were treated kindly and tenderly alongr
the whole route, except. by the officials of the
Nchork & NewHaven i'ailroml,wlio refused
them admission to their depot or the cars,
till J. 11. Almy, Conn. state agent in New
York, paid in cash from his own pocket the
full fare of every wounded soldier, and two
dead bodies. They would not recognise the
order of Gen. Burnside, over his own signa-
ture, the order of the U. S. Quartermaster,
Capt.Stiiison,or the order of Frank E. Howe
or J. H. Almy—notliing but the cash. Other
railroads recognised the authority of the
order, carried the men for half-price, (while
the N. Y. 8.7 N. H. R. R. has always charged
full price for soldiers,) and treated 1110“] with
kindness and consideration. \Ve give an ex-
tract fi'om a letter signed by Dr. Alfred
Hitchcock, and approved by L. H. Bradford,
H. W. Page, L. T. Whitcomb, and Timothy
Dexter, (we think—the latter name is indis-
tinct) of Mass:
“I sent about fifty men in horse cars to the
N. Y. & N. H. R. R. depot 27th street, to
take the cars for Conn. and Mass. Abial J.
Towne, Esq., of New York, accompanied
them, and requested in my name, and by au-
thority of Gen. Burnside, their transportation
north—including two bodies of deceased sol-
diers, and the boxes and bedding of the
wounded men. I reached the depot at 2:30
P. M., and was pained and surprised to learn
that the officials at the depot had refused their
admission to their enclosures—and the poor
suffering victims were lying about on the
street pavements and Sidewalks in a most
pitiable condition.
“I found myself for
from one official to a second, then to a third
then to a fourth (by telegraphJ-aiiil they re
fused to take my sick and wounded men with
out the cash for their fares in advance;and;this
notwithstanding the authority for transporta-
tion over General Burnside’s own signature,
and a. prior authority to myself from Gov.
Andrew. For more than an hour and a half
my sick and crippled soldiers were treated
barbaronsly at this depot. At 3 o’clock, Col.
Frank E. Howe arriaed and added his
own written responsibility for their fares,
and the poorfellowwerehurried in like cattlef
the slaughter. _ .
kets were lost, as the train burned off, amid
the groans and 50193 of the poor fellows who
had bled in their eonntrys defense."
(Signed) “ALFRED. HITCIICOCK.”
' Such is Dr. Hitchcock's evidence, which
is supported by that of Col. Aiken, so for is
have no personal kuowledged of the facts,
and should be glad to learn.
To which the New Haven Courier replies
as follows:
We copied, on Saturday, from the Hartford
Courant, a savage attack upon the New York,
& New Haven Rsilroad,forits alleged neglect
to treat the woundechwEng ’dti'oops from
Burnside’s command with proper tenderness
or decency. We expressed our opinion at
the time that the charge was ill-founded, and
that Mr. Hoyt, the Superintendent, would
contradict it.
Frank I-Iowe, the Massachusetts State
Agent in New York, on seeing the article,
immediately wrote to Mr. Hoytthe following
letter, which sufficiently explains itself, and
relieves Mr. Hoyt from the charges brought
against him, We learn from Mr. Hoyt that
the absence of Mr. Howe, referred to in his
letter, was occasioned by his having the care
of two Vermont regiments and two artillery
batteries at the time. Mr. Hoyt was i011 his
way to New Haven when Dr. Hitchcock agr- .
rived with the wounded, and of course the
New York agents of the railroad had, in the
absence of any responsibile person, to act
under orders. Dr. Hitchcock presented no
papers, except a letter from Geri Burnside to
Quartermaster D. D. Tompkins, its New
York, to procure transportation for the men,

that the blame is put upon your personally

I can only say from my own knowledge,
that on my reaching the depot everything
was done that could have been alone, to coni-
fortably transport the brave follows to their
homes, and that the employees of the pond
all did their best. i
But: my dear sir, the painful fact dees exist
that Dr,’;'-l‘.tchcock, the authorized agent of

finally succeeded. The Government don’t
seem to appreciate the curiosity of the peo-
pie to see Photographs of events of the war,
or they would afford better facilities for their
production. But to our journey. Leaving
Washington by the Aqueduct Bridge, we
passed Bailey’s cross roads, through our for-
mer line of pickets, into Seceshia, night over-
taking us, we stopped at a farm house near
Fairfax, to see if we could be accommodated
for the night; we found very pleasant peo-
ple, formerly of New Jersey, gocd Union
folks, who had lived between. two fires all
the year, and suffer ed most by our own
troops, for the rebels have taken good care
of their friends. Next morning proceeded
on to Fairfax Court House and village, found
the road alive with our soldiers and the fields
full of horses and artillery; nothing of iii-
terest at that place, we pushed on to Center-
ville, where “to found incidents enough to
keep us a week, but owing to the rainy
weather setting in, we concluded to push on
to Manassas, and return -to Centreyillc when
homeward bound; We stayed long enough
however to take a picture of rebel Gen’l.

Telegraphic dispatches received here from
Winchester, dated last night at half past 10,
sa 5 :
xA slight skirmish occurred this afternoon
about a mile and a half from Winchester,
on the Strasburg railroad, between a portion
of General Shields’ troops and the rebel cav-
alry with four pieces of artilley.
The enemy retreated with loss as soon as
our guns opened fire. One man was killed
on our side, and General Shields suffered a
slight injury in the left arm above the elbow
from a fragment of shell which burst near
him.
A prisoner sent in to-night says the enemy
were laboring under the impression that our
troops had left Winchester, and General
J ackson’s forces were on the road from Stras-
burg under the same impression.
WINCHESTER, March 23, 10 P. M.
We have this day achieved a glorious vic-
tory over the combined forces of Gen. Jack-
son, Smith and Longstreet.
The battle was fought within four miles of
this place. I ranged from half-past10 o’clock
this morning until dark.
The enemy’s strength was about 15.000.—
The strength Of our division was not over

’ Our loss in killed and wounded is not as-

double that of ours.

Gallant Victory in Kentucky.
CINCINNATI, Thursday, March 20.
The Cattletsburgh correspondent of the
Commercial says a. boat has just arrived from
Piketon, bringing the particulars of Gen.
Garfields expedition to Pound Gap, 40 miles
beyond Piketon. There were 5000 Rebels
intrenched on the summit of the Cumberland
mountains at Pound Gap.
Gen. Garfield ascended the mountain with
his infantry by unt‘requented patlis,and while
his cavalry, by advancing along the main
road and making a vigorous attack in front,
drew the rebels a short distance down the
summit, the infantry advanced along the
ridge, and completely routed them, after a
fight of less than twenty minutes.
The Rebels abandoned everything. Gen.
Garfield pursued the rebels six miles into
Virginia, and after quartering his men over
night in the captured camp, burnt their bar-
racks, consisting of 60 log huts, with a large
quantity of arms. The rebels lost 7 killed
and wounded. Nobody was hurt on our
side.

The steamer Cmnmodorc arrived this
morning, direct from the llurnsidecxpedition,
reports the capture of Newborn, N. C. and
the defeat of the enemy there, and the cap-
ture of a large number of pieces of artillery,
alter a hard fought. battle.
Our loss is 00 killed, and 400 wounded.—
An oflieer left in the \Vashington train,
immediately after the arrival of the Commo-

It is reported that we took 300 prisoners.
Some reports make our loss 50 or GOkillcd
and 250 to 300 wounded.
The fight took place last Friday.
Special dispatches say that the enemy’s
works, six miles below, Newborn, were at-
tacked on Friday last, and defended by a
force of10,000 strong, having 21 guns, posted
pebiud formidable batteries, over two miles
mg.
The fight was one ofthe most desperatcof
the war. Our troops behaved with the stead-
iness and courage of veterans, and after near-
ly fourliours of [mid fighting,drove the rebels
out of all their positions.
'We captured three light batteries of field
artillery, six heavy siege uns, large stores
of fixed ammunition, 3,0 stand of small
arms, and 200 prisoners, including one Colo-
nel, three Captains, and four Lieutenants.
The enemy left a large number of dead on
the field. They escaped by the cars toGolds-

How the Battle was Fought.
BALTIMORE, March 18.
Sergeant Major D. II. Johnson, of the 23d
Mass. Regiment, came a passenger in the
steamer Commodore, in charge of the bodies
of Licut. Col. Merritt, of the 23d Mass. and
Adjutant Stearns, ol' the Blst Mass. who
bravely fell while leading on their regiments
Ln an attack on the enemy’s batteries at New-
ern.
From Major Johnson, who was in fight,
re gather the following interesting particu-
ars:
Our troops, under Gen. Burnside, landed
on Thursday evening, near Sin Creek, on the
west side of Ncuse river, fifteen miles below
Newbern.
Owing to a dense fog, the naval vessels did
not participate in the fight.
Early on Friday morning the fight com-
menced.
Our troops advanced along a country road
running parallel with the Nense river, but a
mile or two in the rear of the road skirted on
the West side'by a railroad and a dense
swamp.
All along the river side was a series of bat-
teries, which were taken by our troops one
after another. '
We advanced gradually, the enemy ,deser-
ting their guns until we reached a' line of
earthworks extending across the road from
the river to the swamp on the west, a dis-
tance of some two miles,
These earthworks were very strong, They
were located about two mile south of New-
bern and between there and the city ran the
Trent river.
The county road and railroad both passed
through these earthworks, and crossed into
the city by bridges.
In front of these works the rel: els had felled
a large number of' trees, forming an almost
‘. - , .
impenetrable :ibattis.
11.0w the flyipg re} els were rallied, and
made, for a while. a ecsoc'i‘at'e gtaiid. Our
brave fellows fought until all their ammuni-
tion was spent, when an order to charge bay-
onets was given, and the works were finally
taken at the point of the bayonet, the enemy
flying like frightened sheep, leaving every-
thing behind them.
In their retreat they burnt the bridges com-
iuninbtmg 13,131: the town over both the
country road and the railregd. As they had
trains of cars in their rear, just" across the
bridges, they, of'eourse, were able to carry
off their dead and wounded.
Their loss is, therefore, not certaii‘y know 11
but must have been pretty severe.
Our entire loss is estimated at 90
40¢ wounded and missing.

As the battle terminated, the fog lightened
and enabled our gnnboats, which had chn
patiently waiting to participate in the fight,
to come up the river, and our troops were
thusjfurnished withpneans of transportation
across the Trent river to Newbern.

Wlt was a noble sentiment of Gov.
Sprague, othode Island, that he had no
other wish than to bring together the now
belligerent States without the loss to (my one

And it was another noble sentiment of his
that he repudiated the so called Democratic
Convention and its resolutions, by which
they tried to identify him with their semi
secession party.——Nomoalk Gazette.
This, is, as we understand it, a totally
false and misleading statement Of the case.
Governor Spraguc’s response to the Dem-
ocratic Convention so far from being a
repudiation of that body, as the Norwalk
paper asserts, was a recognition of it, and
of the Democracy,——who, he truly de-
clared were not only RIGIIT NOW on the
great question of the Constitution and the
Union, but nip inwars'nssia sound and
right on that fundamental subject. He
accepted the nomination tendered him by
the Convention.
There has been much misrepresentation
of Governor Sprague’s position, since his
acceptance of the Democratic nomination
this year by the Convention which adopt-
ed those excellent (and, to the Abolition-
ists, very troublesome) .‘Rhode Island
resolutions”; and, as we failed tO see the
