Capt. Fowler’s new Company, under the
late call for 300,000 more men, was filled to
its maximum number on Friday last, and on
Saturday large numbers of volunteers pre-
sented themselves for enlistment into his
company,only to be disappointed. Lieut.
ENOCH WOOD, however, will accommodate
all such, as he has been commissioned by
the Adjutant General to recruit a second
, company from N orwalk, in conjunction with
recruiting ofiicers Lewis, Allen, See. This
is the third company Capt. Fowler has re-
cruited from this place, and led to the war.
He is every inch a soldier, and a glorious of-
ficer, and his men may well feel proud of
him. The election of oflicers was held to-
day (Monday) with the following result:

Glorious old Ridgefield does not always
move as fast as some of her neighbors, but
when she does move she goes strong ! At

Wk will be seen by reference to the
speech of the President in another column,
that he takes upon himself the whole respon-
sibility of many things which have been
charged upon the Secretary of War, and em-
phatically denies the story that Mr. Stanton
had withheld troops from McClellan when
it was in-his power to furnish them.

5', An Unerring Test.
'llge Tribune proposes, as a test for ascer-
taining whether a scheme of Emancipation
is calculated to strengthen the rebellion or
the reverse, that any one doubting its eflica-
3y go to some man who he knows sympa-
;hizes with the rebellion, and let him enquire
ind ascertain whether this sympathiser with
red-handed treason favors an Emancipation
whey and wishes to, see it adopted. If it is
.alciilated to strengthen the rebellion he will
vanl‘ it adopted“, if not, not,
The Tribune might have added something
.ers'onal to itself, and said that wherever you
ind a man bellowing himself hoarse about
Abolitionists," “ Greeley” and the “ Tri-
une,” after the' manner of the Herald, you
re sure to find: a sympathizer with treason.

MAKE WAY FOR THE
“ Lockwood Guards!”
Another N orwalk Company I !
LEGRAND Locxwoon, Esq. has donated
the munificent sum of - .
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!
for the enlistment of another Company of
Volunteers from Norwalk. Lieut. Enoch
Wood, a military man of energy and charac-
ter, proposes to take command, and he with
his co-laborers in the recruiting service, Al-
len, Knapp, Kellogg, Lewis, etc. are vigor-
ously pushing ahead enlistments, and over
fifty are already enrolled. Offices are opened
at Ely’s Hall, Selleck’s Book Store, and over
Knapp do Lynes’ Store, where ten dollars per
man of the Lockwood fund is paid down as
fast as sworn in. From present indications
the Company will be full by day after
to-morrow. Let no one delay a moment
who intends to volunteer, as the oppor-
tunity for joining one of the finest com
panies which has yet been recruited, will be
lost. If this Company is filled by Norwalk
men we shall save ourselves the humiliation
of a draft from this’town, and the deep dis-
grace of running down the Ass’t Surgeon for
an exemption certificate.

The Recent General Orders.
The. enormous “skedaddling” out of the
country, going on here at the North among
those upon whom the Government has a
right to depend in its hour of need, has caus-
ed the issuing of a very stringent order, as
will be seen elsewhere. Of course no truly
loyal man who does not desire to evade his
duty, will be seriously inconvenienced there-
by. It is only traitors and cowards who will
be restrained, yet we could have wished that
the Secretary of War had qualified his order
in some measure, so that no abuse of power
could have occurred under it. As it is, we
advise such of our friends as desire to travel
beyond the limits of any loyal acquaintance,
to get a sort of passport from neighbor FIN-
NEY, who as Deputy Marshal is authorized
to issue the same.
In regard to the Order against treasonablc
utterances and attempted interference with
enlistments, this has not come too soon.
The blatings and snivellings of traitors and
semi-traitors, (who would be full grown if
they were not cowards,) has become insuffer-
able, and while we deprecate extreme meas-
ures, it does seem that if there are those so
besotted as to brave public scorn in open
avowals of treason, they should be arrested,
imprisoned, or hung! This war is growing
to be too serious a matter to admit of trifling.

WWe noticed a week or two'ago the
appointment of young Doctor MCLEAN, of
this town as an Assistant-Surgeon in the ar-
my, with instructions to report to Gen. Mc-
Clellan. When he applied at Washington
for orders, he found his papers made out for
a full Surgeon, with orders to report to Gen.
Pope, in whose Department he now is, in
charge of a hospital and of aRegiment. His
examination was very thorough indeed.

Weston,
Is earning for herself a most unenviable
notoriety. It is evident that there are trait-
ors there of the deepest dye, and we regret
to be assured that even the Post Master and
First Select-Man are among the number. If
this is so, we trust the Department will find
some loyal citizen to hold the office, or else
abolish it, and then the. Marshal can find
quarters for them, and all like them, at Fort
Warren. It is useless to send our sons and
brothers to fight rebels in Dixie, while those
as vile and murderous remain behind.

“ DRAFTING” appears to be the subject
most discussed now-a-days, and many people
are becoming somewhat excited over it. All
persons, whether liable to a militia draft, or
not, will find that a draught from Knapp do
Lynes’s Soda Fountain will have a wonder-
fully cooling and invigorating effect during
the present hot spell of weather. It is a‘
draught none need be afraid of, and is cheer-
fully granted to all without any irritating
questions as regards soundness of mind or
body. .

Aymar is mainly due the credit of this hu-

quota for the second 300,000, provided the res-
idences of the volunteers are properly return-

avoided altogether.—Hartford Press.

A Rebel.
down from New Canaan last Week to pro-
cure a certificate of exemption from military
duty was a traitor named William raymond:
He was very meek until his certificate was
issued, when he entered one of our village“
stores and began to rehearse his secession
sentiments, to the disgust of all who heard
him. It so happened that among the listen-
ers was an old man from Westport who had
just engaged with Uncle Sam at $13 per
month; to thrash just such foul mouthed
traitors as he, and after listening as long. as
he could, he at first politely requested that
he should desist, but this only exasperating
Angry words ensued until seeing his oppor-
tunity he clutched the old soldier by the
throat and started a copious flow of patriotic
blood—probably the only thing of the kind
which had ever touched his skin. They
were separated by the by-standers, or, it is.
said, his mother .would never have recogni»
zed him after the Old man had implanted a-
few, of his patriotic knocks upon his treason:
stained countenance. . The soldier boys
about town getting wind of the affair, Mr.
Traitor raymond skedaddled back to New
Canaan in the least conspicuous,» but most
expedite manner. As a matter of personal
precaution, we advise Traitor raymond the
next time he has occasion to visit Norwalk,
to do so via the south end of Long Island,
for our boys are of the opinion that this “se-
cesh blov'ving” has gone about far enough in
this community. It is some consolation to
be assured that the surgeon’s certificate is to
be powerless to all such miscrea nts, from
standing their chances of being shot by those
they so dearly love and admire.

1 GREAT BATTLE .Iu VIRGINIA.
The following synopsis of the Militia Law, f
FIGIIT “’l’l‘ll GEN. BANICS.
HEADQUARTERS six MILES BEYOND l
CULI'EI‘I‘ER, V.\., Aug. 10th. f
A battle was fimght yesterday, between
Gen. Banks and Stonewall Jucksmi. Gen.
Bayard, of Gen. McDowell’s corps, with his
cavalry brigade, had been engaged the day
before, in the extreme advance, near the Rap-
idan River, skirmishing and manumvcring,
taking some prisoners, and ending with a,
slight loss, burning the efforts Ofa large force
to surround and cut him 011‘. Yesterday
morning he was engaged for some hours be-
fore General Banks came up, and with four
' regiments of Cavalry—the lst Penn, 1st
Mainciand‘lst Rhodc Island, delayed and
embarrassed the enemy’s advance.
The rebels under Jackson and Ewell had
crossed the Rapidan in force, and their ad-
vance guard, 15,000 strou , was attacked by '
Gen. Bank‘s yesterday a mood, about six
miles south of Culpepper Court House. The
fight was almost wholly with artillery first,
but Sinfantry became engaged about 6 o’clock
and a determined and bloody contest fol-
lowed-v, Gen. Banks right wing, under Gen.
Williams, suffered severely. ,
The rebel position was in the woods,while
the troops which attacked them were obliged
to cross open ground.
It. was. not till about six that it became cv-
ideut the rebels were attacking in force.—
PreviOusly to that there had been a rather
desultory cannonade. The whole rebel force
suddenly attacked in overwhelming numbers
at all points; Nearlyall their regiments had
full ranks. , -
‘ At half past'seven o‘clock, Gen. Pope ar-
riyedj-on the field from Culpeppcr, accompa-
tried? by Gen. McDowell, with part of Me-
Dowell's Corps. The battle was substan-
tially oyer, Gen. Banks holding the same
ground be occupied at the beginning. , _ _
‘ ‘Aftertthe arrival of Gen. Pope there was an
artillery centest, continuing at intervals till
nearly 12 o’clock. The rebels planted ‘a bat-
tery against McDowell’s center, where Gen.
Pope, and .General Banks were, bringin both
of them under fire. The Generals an their
stafi‘s Were so near the rebel lines—being ac-
tuallyin front of their own lines—that a and
den‘cbar e of rebel cavalry was made from
the .woo s, azquarter of a mile off, apparent-
ly with the view to capture them. The at-
tempt was repelled by a vigorous fire from-
McDowell’s ,tro‘ops, and the. Generals and
their staffs left the ground under a cross fire
from the rebels and their own troops. The
fire of the rebel batteries was afterwards si-
leneed.
Gen. Pope on arriving, sent fresh troops
to the front to takethe place of Gen. Banks’
exhausted columns. 'Gen. Banks was on the
field throughout the action, and constantly
under fire. , Col. Knight, Lt. Col. Selfridge,
Major Mathews, and dj. Boyd, of the 46th
Pennsylvania-were all wounded. Col. Don-
nelly, 28th N. Y., fatally wounded; Lt. Col.
Brown, arm‘ amputated; Maj. Cook, killed,
both of same regiment. Col. Chapman, 5th
Connecticut, wounded and prisoner; Lt. 001.
Stone, same regimenty'killed; Major Blake,
same regiment, wounded and prisoner. ‘
Gen. Geary has had an arm amputated.
Gen. Augur Is severely wounded. "
- Col. Morgan, of Gen. Pope’s- stafi, and
Major Perkins, of Gen. Banksstafi‘ both re-
ceived bullets throughtheir hats. . .-
The 5th Conn, 2d Mass... 27th Ind., and-
46th Penn. are badly cut up. ‘ .
‘ The rebel Gen. Wilder was wounded.
The losses are very heavy on both sides—
not less than 2,000 or. 3,000 killed, wounded,
and missing on each side. Some prisoners
were taken by both.. . .
Reinforcements under Con. A. P. Hill, to
the amount of 18,000 men, reached the rebels
last night about the same time ours arrived.
Skirmishing in front is going on this morn-
ing, but the troops on both sides are so much
exhausted by fatigue and intense heat that
no Serious encounter is expected to-day.

. ' * Exemptions.
' There is a wide spread feeling throughout
the State that the wise and necessary provi-
sion in our new military law exempting cer-
tain parties from military duty, is. being out-
rageously abused. We have no doubt that
in many caSes this does and will occur. In
fact, it you know of a half-way sieccm‘onist
anywhere about, you will be very sure to see
him at the Doctor’s; and so on with cowards
and poltrOOns. Nevertheless, there are very
many persons who labor and passin commu-
nity‘as'~men-of sound health, who could not
pass examination either for the army, Or for
a Life Insurance. Such men involve them-E
selves in no disgrace when they ask for what
it would be unpam'otzc to decline—a certifi-
cate of exemption. But a creature who will
limp, and lie and blubber toflget'a certificate
exempting him from one of the noblest and
holiest duties and privileges the Almighty
ever conferred on mortal man, and then
shamelessly to make a beast of his false pre-
tence,.as many-have done, is' a wretch so a.
ject and. mean as to'scarcely rise to the dig-
nity of public execration and loathing.

W The President having expressed a de-
sire that the people should signify their views
and wishes in regard to the condition of the
country and the conduct of the war, friend
Northrup of the Palladium sends greeting,
as his installment, the following epistle:
NNW HAVEN, Ct. Aug. 4th, 1862.
PREIIDENT LINCOLN ;—DEAR Sm: We
wish you in the first place to fill up your ar-
mies to a magnitude never before attained.
2d. ’ Tell your Generals, when the army is
thus filled, to advance, and if they encounter
the enemy, to fight. 3d. Tell them to carry
into effect the law of Congress known as the
Confiscation Act, both in their orders, and,
in their actions. 4th. Tell them if theyfind
negrocs who are loyal, to use them, and if
they find negrocs fighting against us, to shoot
them if they cam-and to treat white rebels in
the same way. 5th. Carry on this war
yourself, just as if you were fighting John;
ull or any other foreign enemy. 6th. We
think time enough has been fooled away,
and that dispatches about the enthusiasm of
the soldiers over this or that General are su-
perfluous. One victory will do the country
more good than an eternity of such talk. 71!)
t is the especial business of the rebels to look
after the interests of Slavery. They would
not trust you andvhave taken that matterout
of your hands. Let them attend to it, while
you attend tothe country. 8th. Do not dis-
miss a General whose army happens to hurt
some “ Southern brother" in the rebel army
even though the General should be in immié
nent peril of gaining a victory. We assure
you the people will pardon a victory, and
you will be perfectly safe in not removing
the’victorious General from his command.
9th. If there are any Generals who never do
gain victories and in your opinion never will
do not sacrifice the interests of the country,-
and the lives of our soldiers, for fear the peo-
ple will not sustain you if you remove these
Generals. Remove them at once if you have
no confidence in them. If you have confi-
dence in them, it is all right, and we are glad
to know it. .. 10th.. In your own'expressive
language stop “throwing grass,” and give
every body to understand that in this some-
what perilous piscatory‘ excursion of our na-
tion sovthward, the must “ either fish, cut
bait, or go ashore.’ vllth. Let the peopleI
know, what. you. want,. new you feel and
what you, fear. We cannot help you unless
on speak out so that we can know just what
15 needed. ‘12. Do your duty like a. brave-
hearted Western marine-you are, .and'then
call on the people when you are in-trouble.
They have as, deep, an interest in this matter;
as you. Your obd’t servant, . .

Wme a private letter received from a
member of the 5th Conn..Re‘giment, dated at
Camp near Culpeppcr, Aug. 1, we take the
liberty of making the following extrgcts: '
“ Since' our arrival at' this place, there has
not been much in the military‘lineof any im-
portance, but we are living in hopes of soon
having something to do with the enemy in
this vicinity, as scouts report quite a large
force of rebels, at Gordonsville.
The health of the army in this vicinity is
excellent, and the boys. are impatiently wait-
ing for action, believing that the war is to be
pushe; forward with more vigor,-and that
‘ ‘ there will be-no more-delays on account of
wounding the feelings of some of these noto-
rious-rebels. -. ' . . ' .
our new General, (Porn) is.very popular,
and his orders inspireconfidence in’ us that
instead of marching us all over the country,
he will lead us on to the'enemy and give us'
a chance to do something. ' We like his talk
and honor his bravery," and 'you may rest as
sured wherever his men are they will reflect
credit upon him. He is a true soldier, and
never looks backward. '
though we number but about 600, yet we are,
more efficient, than when our complement;
was full, for'thosethat are left are rugged .

It appears from the records of the Assistant
Surgeon, that is the most unhealthy place in
the district! In fact, scarcely a sound man
has been found among the crowds who have
come up from that town. We refer to the
sad fact, in the hopes that it may serve to

so fatal to the human family. New Canaan

Holly serit'ly replied, that conviction for
infamous crimes, being a common drunkard,
or a fool. His client was in . doubt as to
which “ horn" to take, and appealed to his
counsel for advice, when the bland and Wick-
ed Holly gravely informed him that inas-
much as he had paid his fare up from Stam-

hesitation by the government of Holland, the
people, represented in the second chamber,
have demanded the liberation of slaves in the
Dutch colonies of the West Indies, and the
government has complied. There was ex.
the greatest sympathy for the poor n ' ;’~
and a strife to make the liberating law as ib-
eral as possible. The new plan was based
on four fundamental principles: 1. Imme-
diate liberation; 2. Snperintendencollhiib
ed to ten years; 3. Indemnification of 300
florins for every slave; 4. Immigration of
free laborers at the expense of the state. ,
The act extends to Surinam, Curacoa, and
all the other Dutch colonies, and the libera-
tion of the slaves takes place on the let of
July, 1863. ,
