Nll'l‘lfiNAL PRESERVATION.
‘ WLIBERTY vs. DEsporIsul
The 17th Regiment.
Our County Regiment in camp at Bridge-
port, is now about ready to move forward to
the seat of war. The boys have a most
beautiful camping ground, and seem to en-
joy their new soldier life exceedingly well-
The patriotic citizens of Bridgeport have
shown them every attention, and many are
the instances of kindness and attention nar~
rated by our boys. On Saturday afternoon
last, the ladies of Norwalk chartered ,a car,
and made a picnic excursion to the camp
ground, carrying with them besides smiles
and approving words, provisions for a most
sumptuous repeat The two Norwalk Com-
panies “tested their capacities" to satiety,
and many “ baskets” were gathered up
for distribution among their companions in
arms.
Laterin the day, Mrs. Legrand Lockwood,
and Revs. Wm. D’iossy and Anderson ar-
rived, und presented each member of the
Lockwood Guards with a gilt testament, the
gift of their generous patron. Our friend
Lockwood’s theology is of the Cromweilian
kind—Bible in one pocket, and bullets in the
other.
We doubt if two finer companies ever left
7 any town of the State, than this last offering
Norwalk lays upon the altars of American
Freedom and Constitutional Liberty. 001.
Noble has won the highest respect and con-
fidence of his men, and we doubt not will
make a most successful commander. The
head of the 1st Norwalk Company is Capt.
Fowler, in command of his third and best
company. In the Stamford Company, is
Col. Brady of the three months men‘ as Cap-
tain, and Capt. Stevens, of the same service,
, as a private. Here is patriotism vs. place.—
, The boys will doubtless leave for Annapolis
or Washington this week. ’Many prayers
will follow them. God bless and protect
them all.
«O»
W A Regimental standard is to be pre-
sented to the 17th by the citizens of Nor-
walk, on Wednesday next. The Committee
of Arrangements will go over in the 2 P. M.
train. CHANDLER STARR, Esq., will make
the presentation speech.

mgr” Our new school, on the site of the old
“Union," will open on Monday next. All
scholars from any part of the town, will be
received. Poor mothers, with many boys,
will rejoice.

PERSONAL—A friend informs us that some
of the “ certified" have been making free
with our patriotism. It is no manner of
consequence, yet to relieve any anxieties
our friends may have, we will simply state
. that, by the law providing for the draft We
were exempt, but believing ourseif a military
subject, and desiring to screen ourselves be-
hind no legal subterfuges, we took the pains
to call upon the select men, and request as a.
personal favor, that we should be enrolled with
the rest of our fellow citizens subject to do
military duty, and if drafted we shall anmer
to the call. We have repeatedly stated to the
Governor and to others, that when they
thought what little talent we possessed would
be of more service to the country in the
ranks as a private soldier then out of them,
to say the word, and we would be ofi‘. It
would be far more consonant with our feel-
ings to say “com" to the boys, than to say
“ go.” We have boldly declared our love of
liberty, and are not afraid to strike, or if need
be, die for it. But as we said before, it
is no manner of consequence, as it only turns
out that those who has been busy with our
reputation, are as devoid of intelligence as
of truth.

Notice!
The enlisting fever has raged so fiercely
that it has swept our ofiice of scary earner,
compelling us to put on new ones on all our
routes. We have heard of several instances
where our subscribers have been missed, but
if they will bear with us, and whenever they.
are accidentally omitted, send us word,
we will see that all emissions are promptly
rectified. We hope that but a few weeks
will elapse ere we have our new carriers
thoroughly posted.

Presentations.
Adjutant Wilcoxson,,of the 17th Regiment
C. V., has been presented by his Masonic
friends with a beautiful regulation sword and
belt.
Will. A. Ke110gg. long the capable and
efiicient foreman of thnix Hose Company
of this place, now Second Lieutenant of the
Lockwood Guards, has also been presented
with a handsome six-shooter, Allen’s patent.
It is an offering from his old companions of
Phoenix Engine and Bose Companies as a
token of their regard and esteem for him as
a fireman and a soldier.

WORK FOR THE Lanna—While at the
camp of the 17th last week, several of our
boys expressed a wish that we should invite
their lady friends in Norwalk to fit them out
with a little needlework and pin cushion.
If our “knitting circle” ladies would get to-
gether, the whole 200 might be turned out in
a single evening, and the simple little arti-
last, it was voted to go ahead with our pro-
posed Annual Fair, and despite the times, to
make it as attractive as possible. The pros-
pects of grains, garden esculents and fruits,
were never better, and the show can be made
in these respects equal to any of its prede-
cessors.
The following Committee of Local Ar-
rangements was appointed :—
B. B. Plumb, Roswell Brothwell,
Jonathan Camp, Stephen Hoyt,
A. H. Byington, Josiah Kellog ,
Carmi Lockwood, S. E Olmstea

Second Irish Regiment.
The Governor, we understand, has given
the necessary authority for raising an Irish
Regiment for nine months, Capt. O'Connell,
of Bridgeport, and Capt. Maher, of New
Haven, are interested in its organization.
Now is the time for our adopted citizens to
get under first rate officers, and in a regi-
ment where they will have at all times the
assistance of a Catholic chaplain. If a squad
is raised in this town, it can consolidate with
other squads, and form a company.
More particular information can be had
by applying to Capt. O’Connell, of Bridge-
port, or Thomas Howley, Norwalk.

The Cemetery!
We rejoice to see that the directors of -our
village Cemetery have at last waked up to a
sense of the public demand, and commenced
laying out and grading the avenues, erecting
new gates, to. &c. We know that some of
the directors have felt anything but unenvia:
ble over our criticisms, but as a mere matter
of selfish interest and profit to the stock-
holders iu the grounds, no better investment
could possibly be made by them.

Greenwich.
Noble old Greenwich, despite some 400
sick ones who solicited certificates, has sent
another fine company to the war. and last
week the Select men went over and paid the
$100 apiece, the extra bounty voted by the
town. Can’t go back much on Greenwich.
“....“
13‘ The efforts to procure the body:of
young Oliver S. Brady were unsuccessful, as
was Gov. Dutton’s in trying to obtain the
body of his son. They seemed to have been
divested of their clothing and buried in
masses of twenty to forty. It would have
been sweet to have graved the ashes of our
noble boys, but their record is nobly made
and shah never fade away.
The Fairfleld Co. Baptist Asso-
ctation will meet on Wednesday, 27th
instant, with the South Norwalk Baptist
Church.
The Annual Sermon will be preached at
11 o'clock, A. M. Missionary Services at

Death of Owen Murphy.
Owen Murphy, of this place, a member of
Company E., Filth Regiment, who was se-I
verely wounded at the battle of Cedar Moun-
tain, died last week at the Hospital in Alex'-
andria, and his remains were brought here
Sunday afternoon, from the residence of his
family; Rev. Mr. Anderson officiating.
The poor fellow must have suffered se-
verely. He waalaeouuded four times, and
lay on the field from Saturday evening till
Tuesday morning, with nothing but one
cracker and a drink of water, which a rebel
gave to him. He was taken to the Alexan-
dria Hospital on the Friday after the battle,
and it was thought he might recover, but the
loekjaw set in, and he died Wednesday.
His wife had been sent for, and arrived some
time before his death.
The Rev. Mr. Mnrwin writes concerning
him, as follows :—

WEDNESDAY
REv. MR. Annnnson—Dear Sir:
Murphy returns home tomorrow with the
remains of her beloved husband, and hoping
that you will perform the last sad offices for
the deceased, she wishes me to write a few
lines to you in relation tohis spiritual condi-
tion since he has been with us in the Hos-
pital.
In conversation with him nearly a week
ago, I learned that though he had never pro-
fessed before man any love to God, he had
then a desire to serve and love him.
He frequently said he was'not afraid to
die—that he did not regret falling in the ser-
vice of his country—and almost the last
words he spoke to his sorrowing wife were—
“Tell Eddie that I die for my country.
Train him up to fear and love God." .
May we not hope that, had he lived, he
would have confessed before men the name
of Jesus, and that as it is, our blessed Sa-
viour has taken him where
“Nothing can enter that pains.”
He was a great sufferer during the last
few heurs of his life, hilt bore the pain man-
fuliy, wonderfully.
' I cannot tell you how much interested all
who have known them here, have been in
Mr. Murphy and in the one whom he so
him while he was perfectly conscious and
calm.
May God,in the riches of his love through
Christ, bless this affliction to her good and
that of her only boy—and by the gift of His
Holy Spirit more than make up to them
what they have lost. Truly, yours,
cles of convenience might prove of incalcu- 11- “- MERW‘N' .

FAIR—The ladies of Five Mile River an-
nounce 'a Fair to be held at the hotel on
Thursday afternoon and evening of this
week. The proceeds are for the benefit of
the Church, and they want you to attend,
and encourage them.

W The alarm of fire on Tuesday eve
ning last, was caused by the burning of a
brush heap somewhere down West Avenue.
By the prompt manner in which the Fire
“Department turned out, we concluded the
:boys had not all gone to thewar.

mg“ Sergeant W. A. Ambler, of the Fifth
Regiment 0. V., reported missing, has been
heard from, we understand. He is a prisoner
at Richmond, but being a non-commissioned
I officer, hopes soon to be exchanged.

“Candidates for the Exempted
Brigade.”
We have received from the designer, W.
E. S. Trowbridge, Esq., of Danbury, a litho-
graph with the above title. It is to com-
memorate the deeds of those worthies of
New Fairfield and other towns, who to
escape a draft, cut off their fingerseud other-
wise mutilated themselves. It represents a
hero, whose betterohalf has just'chOpped off
his finger, and he is dancing about viii
pain, while another, whose finger is “done
up in a rag," is consoling him with the re-
marks that the pain will not last long, and
he can then gets certificate as .he has done.
The picture is well got up, and will probably
have a readyIIaale. ; It is for saleataii the
for interment. The funeral was attended,
truly loved, and who providentially reached.
The Press of this city has a letter from
Maj-Gen. Pope’s Army, dated the 22nd inst,
which says that Gen. Sigcl had captured
two thousand Rebels, who had crossed the
Rappahannock on a bridge, which he de-
stroyed byithe fire of his artillery, and fore.
ing them to surrender alter a loss of 400
killed and wounded.

In your last, under the above caption, you
say “ Mr. Lagrand Lockwood plunked down
$1,000, and some $200 was placed in the
hands of C. J. Gruman, and this money, in-
stead of being expended in tom-fooleries,
was placed in the hands of the boys as soon
as sworn,” &c. Now honor should be given
to whom honor is due, and as all the money
the boys of the 2d Norwalk, or “ Lockwood
Guards,” received, was distinctly stated to
us to have been from Mr. Legrand Loc
wood, and as we never received a cent fro
any one else; Mr. Lockwood certainly ought
to receive all the credit for which his munlfi-
cent donation entitles him, and which re~
suited, no doubt, as you stated, in causing
our splendid company to be recruited In
three days. Understand, Messrs. Editors,
we are finding no fault, only claimingthe
honor and credit for the right one.
Yours,
' Locxwoon Gums.
What we stated in outlast was from
information obtained direct from Mr. Gru-
mau, that he had been disbursing funds
placed in his hands to aid in recruiting for
the Lockwood Guards. It is possible that
we misunderstood him, and that it was for
Captain Fowler's company that be dis-
bursed his money. Mr. Selleck,who dis-
bursed the Legrand Lockwood and the
Cranberry Plain Fund, is preparing an ab-
stract of his expenditures for publication, so
that those interested can see where the
money has been (hunted, and we presume
Mr. Gruman intends doing the same thing,
so that there will be all end to all contro-
versy.

regard to.the enemy. but the time is not far
off, when they will meet with mm, or a
worse fate, if there is not a considerable re-
formation in their conduct.” Again, Wash-
ington, on Jan. 25, 17.77, issueda proclama-
tion “cohmiandlug every person who had
subscribed a declaration of fidelity to Great
Britain, or taken an oath of allegiance, to
repair ‘within thirty days to (his) head-quart-
ers, or the. quarters of the'nearest general
ofiicer of the Cuntineutal Army, or of the
militia, and take the oath of allegiance to
any protection certificate or passport he might
have received item the enemy; at the same
time gnnuhg Iran liberty to all such as pre-
fered the interest and protection of-' Great
Britain, to the freedom and happiness of their
country, forthwith to withdraw themselves and
families within the enema’e‘s lines. All who
should neglect or refuse to. comply with this
order, were to be considered adherents to
the crown, and treated as common enemies."
George Washington again, on his defence of
New York in '1776, said: “All suspected
persons, whose presence might promotetthe
plans of the enemy, should be removed to. a
distance.” R.

The Attack on Baton Rouge.
. N EW Yonx, August 18.
The steamers North Star and Roanoke
have arrived from New Orleans, with dates
to the 10th instant. They bring the portion-
lars of' the defeat of the rebels at Baton
Rouge, and “18 destruction of the ram Ar-
kansaIs.
A letter from Baton Rouge says that N im’s
Batter thrice repulsed the foe, and did them
great amage. Breckenridge lost his right
arm by a cannon ball.
The fight took place on the edge of the
town, General Williams being unwilling to
expose the helpless women and children.
We captured a largc}: number of prisoners,
including Captain lunt, General Breckin-
ridge's Still. W ll
ener i iams who was k'll -
haIvIed like a hego. ’ 1 ed, be
ims men. re entitled to im risbable
gall-1y ”Tel: loss of the enemy lgeust have
, as our men c ar d and re-
charged-upon them. We havegtiken three
guns.
Another account says: The rebel troops
were variously estimated at from 5,000 to
15,000. men, under General Lovell and
Brecklnrld e. The combat was obstinate.
The rebe loss, according to the prisoners’
account, was Immense. Among the killed
was Gen. Lovell.
. The body of Gen. Williams was-recovered,
and 38 wounded soldiers and three of the
body guard saved.
The official report of Colonel Cahill, com-
manding the post after the death of General
Willlams, states that the rebel force was
about ten regiments. .
After a fight of four hours of“ great severity
thaenemyarefi? repulsed.
enera i ams was kille '
through the chest. d by a mac ball
During the battle our forces were obliged
to.retire about a quarter of a mile from their
original position, and the enemy were able
temporarily to occupy the camps of the 2lst
Indiana, 7th Vermont, and 14th Maine regi-
ments, and to_dcstroy much of the baggage
and camp equlpage.
They were, however, driven out; but our
numbers being much lessened by sickness
and the men on the field being much ex-
hausted by fatigue and heat, it was not
deemed expedient to pursue them.
The. enemyhas retired several miles and
are still .retlrlng. It is possible that they
may receive reluforcements, and I am dis-
posing of Imy troops in the strongest posi-
tions. Our' force engaged numbered less
than 2,500; ‘ the enemy had at least 5,000,
12 or 15 field pieces, and some cavalry.
. The ram Arkansas approached with the
intention of engaging our gunboats, but she
grounded when at a distance of six miles,
and to-day (6th) was engaged by the Essex
and destroyed. .
Brigadier General Clark and Lieut. Zerger
delivered themselves to' us prisoners of war.
I havelalso 70 w’ounded prisoners and about
30 others captured. .
. Breckinridge, on the 6th, asked permission
in writing to bury his dead, and Col. Cahill
replied, “ Our men are engaged in the work,
which will soon be accomplished.”
Passengers from Baton Rouge state that
our loss was 70 killed and 215 wounded.
. Gen. Williams had three horses shot under
him. He was killed while rail ing the 21st
Indlana, who had just lost a fie d piece. The
gun was retaken, but General Williams fell
pierced by several bullets.
The wounded are divided among the regi-
ments about as follows :—
21st Indiana, 81; 24th Maine 70; 4th Wis-
consin, 10- 6th Michigan, 25; 7th Vermont,
15; 30th Massachusetts, 12; 9th Connecti-
cut, 2.
General Butler has issued a general order,
announcing in eloquent language the death
He also issued a congrat-
ulatory order to the troops on their success-
ful engagement with the enemy, in which
he says: “The enemy lost three brigadiers
killed, wounded and prisoners, and many
colonels and field ofilcera. He has more
than a thousand killed and wounded. We
have' captured three pieces of artillery, six
caissons, two stands of colors, and a large
number of risoners."
A letter rom Baton. Rouge states that the
fight between the gunboat Essex and the
ram Arkansas was a fair stand-up fight.
Captain Porter lay at 300 yards’ distance,
pouring solid nine-inch shot; into the Ar-
kansas till a breach was made, when an in-
cendiary shell was exploded in the breach,
setting her on fire. The rebel crew left her,
and she soon exploded.
[It is most likely that the General Lovell
reported killed is Colonel Lovell, and not
Major-General Mansfield Lovell, who is un-
derstood to be at Richmond. The report
that Breckinridge has lost an arm is doubt-
less incorrect, as he in his Idespatch, recently
published, says nothing at all of any injury
to himself]

BURNING OF THE TOWNS.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 22.
Mr. Wickofl‘, the Assistant Superintendent,
on his way to the upper agencies, met nines-
scngcr six miles from Fort Ridgely, on Mon-
day morning, announcing an outbreak at the
lower Sioux Agency, and the murder of all
the whites except a few.
Captain Marsh set out immediately with
forty-five men. At a ferry opposite the
Agency he encountcgcd a large body of war-
riors, who opened fire on them, and after a
few volleys, a lar e body of ambushed In-
dians in the rear fired upon them, killing a
number of men. A retreat was attempted
across the river. While in the water the In~
dians killed the Captain, three sergeants and
the Fort. I
On Manda! night the lights from burning
bulldings an grain stacks was seen in a
directions. Escaped citizens came into the
Fort during the night, giving accounts of
horrors tooteriible for i agination to con-
footed, whose husband and c ildren were
slaughtered. before their e es. Children
came who witnessed the mur er of their a-
,l'ents, or the burning of their homes. he
reads in all directions to New Ulm, are
lined with murdered men, women, and»
children.
J. J. Porter, of Mankato, a member of the
last Minn ' Legislature, arrived here last
evening for
tee sent to New Ulm to learn the truth of
the reported murders. He arrived at New
Ulm on Tuesday morning, and found the
people prepared to bury five persons mur-
dered. Others were being constantly found,
most horribly mutilated. He saw four per-
sonswounded, in one room, cut with hacchets
ill their heads and arms. A little girl was
cut across the face, breast, and side; a little
boy was dreadfully cut up; also, a middle
aged woman. In an adjoinin room he saw
a child with its head out o , and twenty-
seven others mutilated with gushes.
The people of New Ulm are drilling with
what arms they can get, and are fully awake
to their danger, and are determined to de-
fend the town to the last. Mr. Portorlefl:
New Ulm Tuesday morning, and was over-
taken by a man who reported that the Indi-
at 5 P. M, and burned several buildings;
several citizens were seen to fall. The peo-
ple had gathered together and barricaded
the streets. :
Letters to Gov. Ramsey say that hundreds
are known to be killed, and, it' is believed,
thousands. Gov. Ramsey yesterday ordered
the militia with horses to the scene.

FROM N aw Gamma—Gen. Butler has
issued an order that the burden of supply-
ing the destitute of New Orleans with
means of support should fall on those who
brought about the calamity by aiding
the rebellion. A subscription of $1,250,

assessed to the amount of $342,000, iof

Soorunnmzsn YANKEss.—It is start-
ling to think how much the Rebelliougis

States! Yancey is a NewEnglander; Sli-
dell is anatite of New York City; Adju-
tant-General Cooper, Jeff Davis’s right
hand man in the confederate war depart-
ment, is a sou of our own great State;
Albert Pike, the soul of this rebellion in
Arkansas, is a Massachusetts man. 3 Two
or three of the less prominent confederate
generals and hundreds of ofiicers of inferi-

one half of the secession editors and one-
quarter of the secession clergyman were
born north of Mason and Dixon’s line!
And it is the universal-testimony of‘those
