Fair-field Co. Appointments.
Albert H. Wilcoxson, of the Hardware
firm of 'W. C. Street & Co., has received the
appointment of Adjutant in the Fairfield Co.
Regiment. Col. Noble could scarcely have
made a more acceptable appointment.

ACCIDENT.—-Jabez Wheater, one or our
most industrious and worthy village mechan-
ics, while standing upon the roof of Betts’
new store in Main street, on Thursday last,
assisting in raising the metal cornice by
means of a pully attached to a projecting
framework of scantling, was thrown from
his balance by the breaking of one of the
sticks and precipitated to the ground below.
He fell Ilf‘fld foremost upon a pile of broken
brick and rubbish and the wonder is that he
was not instantly killed. He was immedi-
ately attended by Dr. Mosman, and although
it is feared that he has sustained severe inter-
nal injury, he is at the time of this writing,
comparatively comfortable. He was the
support of a widowed mother, and we are
glad to learn that our benevolent citizens are
not likely to lose sight of his claims upon the
public sympathy.

Wisconsin is the first State to inaugurate a

in the State but could well afford to carry
persons to and from such a meeting out of
the profits they have made in transporting

Out of these fill up the old regiments ‘imme-
diately, and put the rest in the field as soon
as possible. 3d—Let him announce officially
and by proclamation that every negro in the
rebellious States shall be FREE if he will
leave his master.
The moral force of such an enormous con-
scription would produce a panic among the
rebels, and by disheartening them more than
half win the victory. .
The fact of such a proclamation being is-
sued would be known in every plantation in
less than a month; for the slaves have a rude
telegraph which they operate mostly at night,
and the result of such knowledge would be
an abandonment of the crops and the starva-
tion of the rebel army. Secretary Seward
could without any danger promise Europe
that the war should be ended in ninety days,
if the powers at Washington would only dare
to take such a position as this. Will they ?

The following is the vote passed at our

bring out two companies within a fortnight:
Voted, That there shall be paid from the
town treasury a bounty of fifty dollars to
each non-commissioned officer, musician, ar-
tificer or private who since the recent call
for three hundred thousand men, has enlist-
ed, or who before the 20th day of this month
shall enlist in this town, into the service of
the United States, in some regiment raised
in this State. Such payment shall be made
by the Selectmen, whenever a proper certifi-
cate shall be produced to them, that such
person has been accepted by the proper au-
thogities; and sworn into the service store-
sal .
This vote, so far as relates to those who
may henceforth enlist, shall only apply to
such persons as would, in case of a draft,
be reckoned a part of the quota required to
be raised by this town.

Fill Up the 01d Regiments.
It is said that the Government is devising
a plan by which all the old regiments may
be filled up to their maximum number. This
is unquestionably the dictate of patriotism
and wisdom. Gen. McClellan, in a letter to
Gov. Washburne, of Maine, dated July 15th,
says: “New enlistments should be made to
fill up the old regiments rather than to raise
new ones. I would prefer 50,000 recruits for
my old regiments to 100,000 men organized
in new regiments.” '

“ Among the Pines.”
- This most interesting and singular work
which first appeared in the Continental Mag-
azine, has so engrossed popular attention that
the Tribune has re-produced it in a cheap
edition, as low as 50 cents. An advertize-
ment will be found elsewhere, referring more
in detail to the work. Suffice it to say, that
it is readabie and reliable, and gives an “inte-
rior view ” to the rebellion and its secret
springs, which the world, hitherto hath not
known. Entirelydifi‘erent from the Helper
Book, it is destined, nevertheless, to evoke
as profound a sensation and much more en-
during impression. It should be placed in

How the people begin to think.
We take the liberty of extracting the fol-

gentleman, whose position and personal in-
fluence had directed attention to him as a
very desirable persOn to take the field in one
of our Connecticut regiments. Were we at
liberty to give his name, none would doubt
his earnest patriotism or his freedom hither-
to, from extreme views upon any subject.—
We give tlie'extract merely as an indication
of the change which is going on in the minds
of the people everywhere to crush this fear-
ful rebellion with all the means God has giv-
en us :—-“ Whenever the Government shows
a disposition to carry on the war with all the
means placed at its disposal by Congress, I
am ready to volunteer in any mam-
But I can tell you, we shall never succeed
in crushing the rebellion, until we are ready
and willing to acknowledge that the contest
has now narrowed down to a struggle for
Freedom against Slavery, and fight according-
ly with all the means placed at our disposal, no
matter what the COLOR may happen to be.”

RiDoErrELD.—Ou Thursday night last the

Post Office Building was broken into, and
property to the amount of $150 taken there-
from. On Friday the Deputy Sheriff arrested
Sylvester Canfield, Frank Seymour, and
James P. Brown, and recovered about two-
thirds of the property stolen, One of the
trio has since turned State’s evidence.
On Friday last a bull belonging to Hiram
L. Seymour, broke from his enclosure, and
as Mr. Seymour was endeavoring to turn
him in his yard, he was struck by him and
knocked down, breaking two of his ribs and
otherwise seriously injuring him. The bull
then passed up the road, and William Bene-
dict, in attempting to stop him, was tossed
into the air several feet, injuring him severe-
ly, but not dangerously. The hull was then
captured without doing any further injury. 1
‘ suffer any sacrifice for right, that can give
mire especially an heroic woman, one that
up son or brother, lover ‘or husband at her ,
country’s call; that can place her build
upon her beating heart and stay its throb-
bings when her dear ones tall upon the bat-
tle-field-
Such women there have been—women
who shrank from no suffering for 'a noble
cause. Such were the mothers of Revolu-
tionary days, who buckled on the armor of
their sons and bade them go forth and finlit.
Such women there are to day—women 0
have given their sons to the cause, and whose
only regret is that they have no more to of-
fer. But these women to-dav are compara-
tively rare. The refinements of our civiliza-
tion tend not to produce those which flourish
in an heroic age. .
, But the soul ofthe rebellion is the women
of the South. ' Hating the North more in-
tensely than the men, but half comprehend-
ing the real issues of the conflict, their minds
distorted by the wildest fanaticism, but im.
perfectly educated and wholly unused to self
control,_they drive from their homes every
man capable of military duty, while they
rave, with the ferocity' of frenzied bedlamites
against the Yankees and the Union. The
Southern lady does not hesitate to address to
the Union soldiers language which would dil-
grace a Parisian fish-woman, while the love-
tokens asked from the absent lover are the
skull of a Yankee or the heart of a brave vol-
unteer. These women have been by Gener-
al Butler most felicitously, though with more
truth than beauty, styled she-adders. Proud,
malignant, fiery and blood-thirsty, such wo-
men as only the poisoned atmosphere of a
s averycontaminated society can produce,
they are as totally different from the modest,
affectionate, peace-loving mothers and sisters
of the North, as a hydrasheaded dragon is
from a dove. Heaven save us from the he-
roism which makes such women as these.
But hate is not heroism, nor passion ebur-
age. The women of the North can do much
to aid the cause of the Union without depart-
ing from their proper sphere of duty, or do-
ing violence to their womanly nature. We
do not ask them .to stir into action the hearts
that have felt no shame at national disgrace,
that have had no feeling during months of
disaster. We only ask them to let the brave
and willing go to fight for their country.
There are thousands of young men whose
ses no coward blood, who long to buckle on
the sword or shoulder the musket and fight;
who feel every day that a stain~ is on them
while they linger; who hear every night the
voice of God and their country calling them.
But the armspf mothers and sisters, of wives
and lovers are around their necks. The
dearest and holiest ties of domestic love are
invoked to keep them at home. In the scales
before them are made to balance the honor
and safety of their country, and the broken
hearts of those that are dearer to them than
life. And so they hesitate, while the months
roll on and the fate of the nation trembles in
the hala nee, themselves restless and uneasy
with the consciousness of a divided duty.
It is just here that the women of the North
can do much to aid the se of the Union.
Cheerfully and hopefully let them bid these
young men go. Surely, if they are willing
to fight, no one ought, at an hour like this, to
discourage them. Let them go, not with a
burden on their hearts. but feeling that the
same faith which sustains them in the con-
flict, is making the loved ones at home brave
hearted and hepeful.—-Palladium.

dealing drudgery.
hearts are in this war; in whose veins coun-
become loathesome and disgusting beyond'
upon Hawley Olmstead, Esq., of New Ha»
ing in the suppression of' this rebellion. But
in the very pertinent suggestions which be
preoccds to make, has failed to udc to one
class that ought to be especial noticed.-—,
That very patriotic, very zealous, and very
worthy class of men, who stand up erect—
wear starchcd collars, talk gravely of the
mistakes of the administration, criticise se-
verely the movements of our generals, and
cry out lustily for all who would see the re-
bellion crushed, to fall into the ranks and
double quick to Richmond,-—push every-
thing at the point of the bayonet,—astonish
the world, and have everything straightened
out in about four weeks—but yet who are
virtually doing all they can to retard enlist-
ing, are the class of men to whom I allude.
They say to every man (in whom they are
no way personally interested), “Why don’t
you go? If I was only young and strong as
I once was, there would be no need of urging
me nor of offering bouutl'es, or anything of
that sort; simon pune patriotism would lead
me right into the ranks.” But there is the
rub—they happen to be old, a few days over
forty-five perhaps—just past the age for
drafting; and if they happen to have sons—
m’ce young men perhaps as is sometimes the
case—why they can’t go, of course not; they
are needed to comfort the old man in his de-
clining years; he has spent a fortune on
their education, fitted them for gentlemen—
and to think of their going as a common sol-
dier i—the very idea is preposterous; and
they may get wounded, disfigured, perhaps
killed :—the thing is settled—they cannot go.
“ If my influence wont prevent them, I will
appeal to their mother, their sisters, their
brothers, to use theirs; others moving in
humbler spheres, must do the fighting. If I
am forced to, why I suppose I shall pay my
war tax, but then I don’t approve of it for
the government pays a bounty and that’s
enough."
Now the men who are willing to fight (pro-
vided they don’t have to do it alone,) don’t
see the point to such logic, and are waiting
to see such a man, and such a man—men
who are dreadful on talking fight. Enlist—
and they are willing to do the same.

MAJOR GENERAL on THE STATE MILITIA

failed to agree upon any person to fill the
place of Major General of the State Militia.

The Siege of Vicksburg.
ATTACK ON THE REBEL RAM ARKANSAS.
A special dispatch from Vicksburgli, dated
the 23d, says: “By a reement between Com-
modores Davis and arragut, an attempt was
made, yesterday, to capture the Arkansas.—
The fleet from low was to engage the low-
er batteries an e fleet above would engage
the upper ones, while the gungoats Essex
and Queen were in the meantime to attack
the Arkansas and tow her out. In conse-
quence of a misunderstanding, only a few
shells were fired from the mortars below,
which it is known had no other effect than to
divert'the fire from the Essex. This vessel
attempted to run into the Arkansas and jam
her against the levee, but the latter swung
round, and the Essex grazed her side. As
she passed she gave the rebel caft three elev-
en-inch shot from her how guns. Upon find-
ing herself unsupported she dropped ddwn
the liver. The Queen coming to her aid ran
into the Arkansas, making her tremble from
stem to stern. Recovering herselflthe Queen
ran on her again, but so forcibly as to strain
her own works badly. Both then returned
up the river. During the engagement the
Essex received several shots, and had one
man killed and two wounded. The Queen
was shot through several times.”

IMPORTANT WAR ORDER—An im ortant
order has been issued by the War epart-
ment revoking all furloughs and leaves of
absence, on Monday, the 11th day of August,
and ordering all- officers capable of service to
join their regiments immediately,under pen-
alty of dismissal from the service or court
martial. On Monday, the 18th, each regi-
ment and corps shall be mussered. The ab-
sentees shall be marked, and if not appearing
within forty-eight hours will be dismissed
from.the service or treated as deserters, un-
less restored. This latter can only be done
by a court of inquiry. Officers not enforcing
these rules will be dismissed from the ser-
vice.
The only excuse allowed for the absence
of officers or privates from duty after the 11th
day of August, are: first, the order or leave
of the war department; second, disability
from wounds‘received in service; third, dis-
ability from disease that renders the party
unfitted for military duty, but any officer or
private whose health permits him to visit
watering places or places of amusement, or
to make social visits, or to walk about the
town, city or neighborhood in which he may
be, will be considered fit for military duty,
and as evading his duty by absence from his
command in the ranks.
. This is another sign of the opening vigor
with which it is hoped the war will be cal-
ricd on. It ought to have been promulgated
long ago, as the sight of idle soldiers awa
from the seat of war, drawing pay for sex-Vi-
ces unperformed does not incite enlistments.

A NAVAL BATTLE IN PROSPECT—The
New York Times’ correspondence from the
Army of the Potomac discloses an important
fact which has not previously been telegraph-
ed. About noon on Wednesday it was ascer-
tained by a signal officer that two rebel crafts
were coming down the James river toward
Turkey Bend, and when oil that point they
stop‘d and cast anchor. It was soon ascer-
tained that one of the vessels was the new
Miarrtmac or Riohmmrd, while the other was
supposed to be a ram called the Young Amer-
ica. Commodore Wilkes was immediatety
notified, and ordered up a number of his first-
class gunboats, including the Monitor and
Galena, which, after some manoeuvering,
took their positions in line of battle; and
thus the vessels remained, each apparently
awaiting an attack from the other, through
at. afternoon and night, until9 o’clock A. M.
of Thursday, at which time the letter of cor-
respondent was closed. '

A Serious Charge!
A correspondent of the Indepemlent, whose
truthfulness is editorially endorsed, reports
that during the severest part of the struggle
of the seven days retreat, when our troops
gained the banks of the James River, he saw
Gen. McClellan on the gun boat Jacob Bell

officers generally were in doubt where he
was." That reporter may be looked for on

The Summing Up.
Mr. Everett, in his recent war speech in
Boston, struck the balance for our losses and
gains for the year as follows:
“Nor have we any reason to be ashamed
of the result. War, of all the great concerns
of life, is proverbially subject to vicissitudes.
It is no doubt for wise ends in the plan of
Providence, that when he lets loose that
scourge upon a people, ‘the battle is not al-
ways to the strong.’ In a field of war geo-
graphically extensive as that trod by the le-
gions of Caesar. or the phalanx of Alexander,
in less than fifteen months of a contest which
took us wholly by surprise, forced upon us
by an enemy that had passed-a year in secret
preparations, that had treacherously stripped
our arsenals of their ordnance and munitions,
debauched half the officers of the army and
navy, and surprised our defended forts and er
mories, we have rescued from the fan a of
secession Maryland Western Virginia, en-
tucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Kansas, half
of Alabama and Arkansas, and the whole of
Louisana: recaptured the navy yards of Nor~
folk and Pensacola, and the principal forts in
the rebellious States, occupied the most im-
portant military positions, established an
efficient blockade along the entire'Southern
coast, restOred the great line of" communica-
tion east and west, by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, swept'the banks of the Missis-
sippi clear, with the exception of one belea-
gured spot, from Cairo to its mouth planted
the Stars and Stripes at New Orleans. To
offset these all-important successes and vic-
tories, we have to regret the drawn battle
and panic of Bull Run, the disaster of Ball’s
Bluff, the destruction of the Cumberland and
Congress, well redeemed by the heroic
achievement of Lieut. Worden in the little
Monitor, the repulse of a premature move-
ment on Charleston, and the recent check at
Richmond. Let any one compare this bal-
ance of successes and reverses with those of
Crimean war—of the wars of the Duke of
Wellington on the Spanish peninsula—of the
wars generally of the French revolution,
and of our revolu 'onary struggle, and he will
find that there is ot in one of these great
historic contests, a year crowned with equal
successes, on the part of the finally victorious
cause.”

WOur experience in Rhode Island in
using negro soldiers in the revolution is often
alluded to, and is of interest just now. Our
worthy Lieutenant Governor and historian
tells the story in his second volume.
Varnum suggested the raising of a battal.
lion of Rhode Island negrocs, and Wash-
ington approved the suggestion. They were
freed upon their enlistm‘ at, and the owners
were to be paid. A regiment was raised.
1n the battle on Rhode Island, August 29,
1778, the British and Hessians made numer-
ous assaults. Gov. Arnold says:
“It was in repelling these furious onsets
that the newly raised black regiment, under
Gdloncl Greene, distinguished itself by deeds
of desperate valor. Posted behind a thicket
in the valley, they three times drove back the
Hessians who charged repeatedly down the
hill to dislodge them; and so determined
were the enemy in these successwe charges,
that the day after the battle the Hessran Col-
onel, upon whom this duty had devolved, ap~
plied to exchange his command and go to
New York, because he dared .not lead his
regiment again to listtle, least his men should
shrot him for having caused them so much
loss."
Such was our revolutionary, experience in
making soldiers or negroes. .
