Kearney and Stevens
Killed.
WAsIIINoTON, Sept. 2, 1862.
Gens. Kearney and Stevens were killed
in a severe engagement which took place
last evening near Chantilly, about two miles
north of Fairfax Court House, between a por-
tion of Gen. Pope’s army and Jackson’s
forces. _
Our loss was heavy, but the enemy was
driven back a mile, and we occupied the
field of battle until 3 o’clock this morning.
Gen. Stevens was killed with a Minie ball,
which entered his brain, while he was lead-
ing his men into action, bearing the colors In
his hand, the color sergeant having been
slain. His son, acting as Assistant-Adjutant
of the brigade commanded by his father, was
wounded. ~
Gen. Phillip Kcarney’s body was taken
possession of by the enemy, but afterwards
delivered into our lines, under a flag of
Gens.

The Federal Army Back at
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.
The city to-night, was in a great state_of
excitement, and not without substantial
cause. Crowds were gathered at all the ho.
tels and on the streets, discussing and specu-
lating on the future. It may here be said
that while the more timid of our citizens ap-
prehended danger—from the enemy, there are
stout hearts that are not intimidated. Last
night, there was a series of skirmishes along
the whole front, during which we lost two
of our best generals and other officers. Ac-
cording to present reports, it was Hooker's
division which was mainly, if nOt altogether
engaged in driving back the rebels, but the
one mile of‘ skirmishing was attended with
much loss of life.
This noon, they again took up the line of
march, and this evening the advance was in
sight of Munson's Hill. The enemy’s eav-
alry followed them in the distance, but made
no attack, and the entire movement was be-
ing accomplished in excellent order.
At noon, to-day, Gen. McClellan rOde out
to meet the returning column, and was re-
ceived with great demonstrations of gratifi-
cation and pleasure by the army. The works
for the defense of Washington are all in ex-
cellent condition, and are strongly manned
by experienced artillerymen. The gunboats
now lining the Potomac, are doubtless de-
signed to prevent any attempt to interrupt
the navigation of the river. The Govern-
ment, it is apparent, is exerting every energy
for the defense of the city. It may be safely
repeated that there is no panic here, but of
course there is naturally a generally ex-
pressed solicitude regarding the future.

W By the Fulton, from New Orleans,
Aug. 28, we learn that our troops left Baton
Rouge some days before, leaving the gun-
boats to hold the place. The town was not
burnt, only fifteen small wooden buildings
having been destroyed to clear the space
before the fortifications. All was quiet at
New Orleans, but an attack was expected on
Carrolltou, a small village near the Gig.“-
Wilson’s Zouaves were expected at ew
Orleans, a fact which seemed greatly to dis-
turb the Rebels, who seem to have a special
antipathy to this particular corps.

From Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, Aug. 10, 1862.
* * * * * * We are dcplorably situated
here. It is certain that the battle at Mur-
freesboro' was an unfortunate affair. Com-
mencing at the time it did, there was plenty
of time to have sent 1000 men from this place
by rail to have saved the day, and rescued
the public property destroyed b the rebels.
It was not done, however. he persons
heretofore manifesting Union sentiments
could have been relieved, to say the least of
it. But no; they were sacrificed. They
had to bear the brunt. It will be some time
before there will be another Union meeting
in that place, until the Federal troops will
take and keep the places taken. The fact is,
no one can tell the dcstitution the rebels
have reduced the Union men to. In many
instances they first cut up and destroy all
the subsistence to be found, then demand
the money, jewelry and plate about the place;
then search for anything to be found on the
place that will be of use to a soldier, even to
a saddle blanket, sheets that will answer for
shirts, blankets, pillows to ride on, bed quilts,
any kind of clothing; and in the end, after
the officers and most of the men ride off, a
few stragglers remain behind to insult the
women and burn the houses. Many of the
secesh are opposed to all this, for in my Opin-
ion their time will come next. There is be-
ing generated in the Union men of this coun-
try a feeling that cannot die out in this gene-
ration. It will descend to the children that
witness the scenes, and no wonder it should.
The heads of families are known to be lyin
around the place like culprits, and it is wefi
it 13 even so, or individuals would do what it
now takes bands of bad men to do—rob their
neighbor. A man, formerly of some posi-
tion in Rutherford, is carrying a fine watch
that is said to have been taken from a bank-
er‘s wife, not far away. I suppose he thinks
he came honestly by stolen or robbed pro
pcrty. It will be mun y years before Tennes-
- see is again what Tennessee was. The pis-
tol and bowie knife is to reign supreme {or
some time to come. It will be some time
before law and order can be restored, and
nothing but the force of arms can do it.

Notice 3
The enlisting fever has re ed so fiercely
that it has swept our oflce 0 every WW,
compellin us to put on new ones on all our
routes. e have heard of several instances
where our subscribers have been missed, but
if they will bearwith us, and whenever they
are accidentally omitted, send us word,
we will see that all omissions are promptly
rectified. We hope that but a few weeks
will elapse ere we have our new camera
thoroughly posted.
The War News.
We occupy almost our entire reading
space to-day with the war news of the past
week. It will be found of more engrossing
interest than any other matter we could
write or copy.

Our County Fair.
Workman are now grading the streets of
the amphitheatre plateau for the trotting
track, and soon the entire grounds will be
enclosed by a high board fence. N 0 such
extended preparations have ever been made
before; and despite the times, the ofilcers of
the Society are determined to make it one of
the best exhibitions we have had. The new
feature of ladies horse back riding, is attract-
ing considerable attention, and will prove a
very entertaining as well as novel feature.

The ladies who have been engaged on the
above humane work, desire us to return their
thanks for the aid and liberal donations left
at Mr. Selleck’s Book Store in response to
their last week’s call. A box will be imme-
diatelv forwarded to the seat of war from'
Norwalk.

Capt. Beatty.
We rejoice to learn that Capt. Beatty, a
life-long military man, has consented to take
command of our third Norwalk Company.
His name and influence will doubtless fill the
ranks at once. ,

We are requested to invite all who have
subscribed to the fund for aiding enlistments
to pay in the same without delay, to Andrew
Selleck, at the Bookstore.

E The call for an out-door Mass Meet-
ing had the efi‘ect to call together about a
thousand people, and some few names were
emailed. All the Speakers from abroad,
engaged by the committee, (Messrs. Geo. R.
Cholwell and John A. Moorhead,) failed to
appear, save Mr. E. B. Goodsell. He doubt-
less made up for the absence of the rest, as
we heard no complaint on the score of not
having “ more of the same sort.” The meet-
ing was opened by an earnest appeal by
Chandler Starr, Esq., as Chairman. He was
followed by a patriotic speech from Judge
Rodgers.
Another Meeting was held at Lockwood’s
Hall, in the evening, and ably addressed by
home talent, and the recruiting ball was fair-
ly opened.

SIIocxINe ACCIDENT—As the, 17th was
passing our Depot, the good people of
South Norwalk had the big cannon brought
out, and a parting salute fired in honor of
our noble boys then speeding to the Nation’s
defence. On the second round the piece
discharged prematurely as the gunners were
ramming the cartridge home, shattering the
arm of Joseph Hawkins so horribly that am.
putation was rendered necessary, taking of
one of the fingers of a young man named
Youngs, and severely burning and lacerating
his band; also burning the face and nearly
blinding another whose name we did not
learn.
P. S.—Young Hawkins, who was a re-
turned soldier, has since died.

ONLY ONE DAY MORE!
There is now left only till Wednesday, at
9 o’clock, A. M, to volunteer and save a
Draft. The town pays $100 to each man.
The State continues its bounties to families,
.and by a private subscription raised in town
some fifteen or twenty dollars per man will
be paid to each volunteer. DON’T BE DRAFT-
ED, and forfeit all these advantages. Capt.
Beatty, an old and experienced officer vol-
unteers to take command of the Norwalk
Company. Close up the column.

Fill up the old Regiments.
Governor Buckingham has received ad-
vices from the War Department, that re-
cruiting for old regiments will continue, and
the advance pay and bounty will be paid
until further orders.
.‘.>.
Goon FOR OLD RIDenFmLD.-At a Town
Meeting held on Saturday, it was voted to
continue the bounty of $200 to all who should
enlist for nine months-to fill up the town
quota. Volunteers Were called for, and the
number needed retired on the spot. That’s
the way to do the business. Other towns
could do the same if they only tried.
W
“Too MANY Coons SPOIL Tun BR0TH.”—
We fear that the multiplying of Recruiting
Agents and Headquarters, &c., will have a
tendencyto retard rather than accelerate our
volunteer enlistments, and the filling up of
another Norwaik company before day after
tomorrow. It is hard to complain, however,
where all feel so deeply interested in pushing
on the good work, even if the effect he to
crowd into each othe’r’s way, and delay and
hinder rather than advance the object de-
sired. ~
P. S.—We just learn that CAI-T. SAMUEL
BEATTY has profi'ered his services ascom-
mandant of the proposed company. His
name will prove a tower‘f strength to the
cause, and we now hope to see the company
filled by tomorrow evening. The company
has been floating about, as it were, without
a head; it now has one—and a good one—
“ the right man in the right place.” So hur-
ry up, boys, and push on the column.

Departure of the 17th Beg’t.
The Fairficld County Regiment broke
camp on Wednesday morning last, and took
the cars from Bridgeport for New York.—
The train, comprising twenty-seven cars
drawn by two locomotives, passed our sta-
tion at about a quarter past one, P. M., ar-
riving at 42d st. at three o‘clock. From
thence they marched to the wharf at the foot
of 23d st, and went on board of the Camden
& Amboy Steamer Killvonkull, where As-
sistant Quarter Master Ahny had provided
the boys a bountiful supper, and at six P. M.
they left their moorings for Elizabethport.—
They had a safe passage by rail to Baltimore,
where at last advices they were halted, and
considering the option of remaining to guard
the fortifications about Baltimore, or of pro-
ceeding direct to Fort McHenry. We shall
doubtless learn their ultimate destination be-
fore we go to press.
We believe this Regiment, without any
exaggeration of local pride, both in the char-
acter of the men, and in their physical pro-
portions, equal, if indeed they do not exceed,
any regiment which has yet left our borders.
The scene at our Depot, as the immense
train rolled its length along, cheered by a
thOusand voices, and greeted by a sea of ker-
chiefs, was thrilling indeed. Mothers, wives
and sisters thronged every approach to the
platform, while fathers and brothers pressed
their way up to bid them God-speed on their
holy mission. The disappointment in the
train not hal , was wide spread and sad:
dening, and m' ny were the moistened eyes
cast Heavenward, invoking Divine blessings
on the departing loved ones. We could but
feel, as we witnessed the scene, that every
woman there might be relied upon for the
future as a recruiting officer. Her life, her
hopes, her all, in mny instances, were gone,
and now would s not use all her influence
to induce others to go to aid and support
her own upon the battle field? Heaven
grant that their hearts and arms may be made
strong for the conflict, and they all come
forth from the strife crowned with the

W001. Cunningham narrates to usa very
interesting incident which occurred at the‘
of' Surgeon Upham. It so happened that"
JohnB. and John H. Bouton, both Norwalk
boys, were sick, and under Dr. Upham's
care, and helcarning that the soldiers were
from Norwalk, informed them that he had
often been the guest of Charles B. White,
Esq., at Norwalk, whereupon the boys in-‘
formed him that they were nephews’of the
late George W. Belts, who-"was. he former
owner of .Mr. White's beautiful ntry seat.
The incident, as a matter of course, had the
efi‘ect to secure to our noble boys many little
special attentions which were “not on the
bills” ‘

quiet on the Potomac ?" And havn’t we got
our “honorable discharge” from the War

ing the President’s rejoinder to Mr. Greeley,
and being at as great it loss to know “under
which cup the little joker really is,” as was
the bewildered countryman in the presence
of the sleighto’o-hand showman, insists that
it is only paralleled by :1 ch: rge of an Illinois
Justice to a jury empanneled to try an issue
between two partners who had quarrelled
and broken up. The charge ran thus :—
“If the jury believe, from the evidence,
that the plaintiff and defendant Were part-
ners in the grocery, and gave this note for
the interest, and that the defendant paid for
i the note by delivering to the plaintiff a cow
which be warranted not breachy, and the
warranty was broken by reason of the
breachiness of the cow, and he drove the
cow back and tendered her to the defendant,
but the defendant refused to receive her, and
the plaintiff took her home again, and put a
heavy poke upon her to prevent her from
jumpin the fence, and b reason of the poke
she bro e her neck, and icd ; and if the jury
believe that the defendant’s interest in the
grocery was worth anything, the plaintiff’s
note was worthless, and the cow good for
nothing, either for milk or beef, then the
jury must find out how they will decide the
case; for the Court, if she understands her-
self, and she thinks she do, is at considerable
'nonplus how such a case should be exactly
decided.”

Win commenting upon the President’s
letter to Mr. Greeley, the Evening Post
says :— '
“The President will be sustained by men
of discretion and patriotism everywhere;
but the same persons who approve his gen-
eral principle will be apt to insist that the
time has come for a practical assertion of
the principle. The Congress of the United
States, indeed, long since decided that the
slaves of rebels in arms should be emanci-
pated, and the whole country has been look-
ing to the President for a vigorous inaugura-
tion of the policy. Let it be once made
known that the government of the country
is determined to assert and vindicate the
freedom of every slave whose master has
rebelled against its authority, and the, news
of the truth would spread with almost tele-
graphic speed to every plantation in rebel-
dom. It would detach the hopes and sym-
pathies of the Southern reductive c ass
from the Southern cause. twould stop the
supplies of subsistence to the rebel army,
which are now chiefly furnished by slave
l . It would disab e the entire force of
e able-bodied men from joining that
army, and it would call home many who are
already there to guard and protect their on-
dangered firesrdes. In order to secure these
ends, it is not It ary to incite an insur-
rection; it is not essaryto put arms in the
haudsof the emancipatcs; for the simple
declaration of their freedom, like a charm
accomplish every desirable result. -

[3" Col. 0. H. VAN Wch, M. C., while
stationed at Harrison’s Landing, had an earn-
est colloquy with one of the Harrisons, a
rich and lordly slaveholdiug planter of that
neighborhood, who avowed himself an un-
compromising Disnnionist. Neither con-
vinced the other, but CO]. V. says :—
“ I left him, with the hope then expressed,
that Congress would pasa an act requiring
that wealthy gentlemen like himself shoul
pay the expenses of the rebellion. At that
time no guard was stationed to protect the
property of this Rebel. although it may be
ratif ing for the sympathizers of this at-
ictc individual to know that his property
is now carefully guarded by soldIers of the
Union army. Orders are now very strict
against foraging. Capt. Regan told me a
few days since that he took ms horse out to
graze, and Union guards notified him that
the orders forbade it. We have been as-
sured that this rebellion must be treated with
gentility, mild applications of entreaty, not
even amounting to reproof. We must satisfy
them we came as friends, not as enemies.—
That while we are humiliating ourselves by
apologies for demanding obedience to the
Constitution and respect for the flag, they
shallbe allowed to stab us to the heart.—
Can any body tell how many converts have
been made to the Union cause by gentle
opiates? How many men have. thrown
dowu their arms and sworn allegiance ?—
Has the heart of' the Rebel Harrison been
pierced with a conviction of his crime ? Has
kindness assuaged the bitter burnings of his
hate, and modified the harsh aspersron of un-
controlled, unregulated treason? The mag-
nanimity of some is so great that they grieve
when the enemy of his country loses his
prOperty, but have no sympathy for their
brave countryman who sleeps on the un-
tented field, amid pcstilential dews and fever-
vbreeding swamps, without covering, and
often without necessary provisions.”

and secured twenty-three prisoners and
forty horses. Wednesday morning Col,
Shackelford attacked six hundred rebels

Shackelford orderedacharge to be made,
which was done in gallant style. After

guns, the retreat Was again renewed in
good order and unmolestéd by the foe.—

caste and republican equality, and be is

more than slavery. (Great applause and

by preventing enlistmeuts, or in any other
way, is not only a Democrat, but be is a

following communition in reference to the

Bedding, Ridgefield, Weston, and Wilton,
which will account for the different resi-
dences set down for the men. Each town
also offered a different bounty, from $50 up
to 3200—21 circumstance which leads to con-

WHAT WILL Mas. GRUNDv SAY Row 1’—
While Gen. Hunter has been abused by cer-
tain Southside Northern papers, for trying
the experiment of raising a negro regiment,
Gen. Butler, of New Orleans, not having the
fear of croakers before his eyes, is doing the
same thin , and he will carry it into execu-
tion. Ts ing asabasis a company of col-
ored men organized by Gov. Moore, of Louis-
iana, in 1861, as a part of the State Militia,
Gen. Butler has directed them to maintain
their organization and hold themselves in
readiness for his orders—that they shall be
duly organized by the appointment of proper
officers, armed, equipped, and paid as other
volunteers of the United States, sub ect to
tshe approval of the President of the nited
tates.
-—Major E. S. Kellogg, of. the 1st Conn.
Artillery, has been appointed Lieut.-Colonel
of the 19th Regiment. ._ .
