To Correspondents.
We receive, almost every week, one or
.ore much appreciated communications
om our friends in adjoining towns—are
'ceived by us on Monday afternoon and
rening, when our paper is either made up,
.- the forms upon the press. Our friends
ould greatly augment our obligations if
Ley would send their favors as early as Sat-
:day (when possible) and by Monday, A. M.,
farthest. Write short, terse articles, give
Isfacts and news instead of phillipics and
ictoric, and then send us as many commu-
cations as you can—the more the better.

Chief Marshal Brothwell has worked out a
.ost capital track upon which the fast horse
oys are to eliminate “Horse Rapture,” (ac-
)rding to Beecher)——aud the staid and sober
.i-mers are to show the fine points and
mom of their steeds of all work. A track
a new feature, and the encircling of it with
high board fence, a novelty which, as Bar-
:im would say, cannot fail to draw. If the
air this year is anywise short of its prede-
essors, it will not be for the lack of ener-
:tic efforts heroabouts.

friends of the Hartford Courant, Press
’ost, who are at “headquarters,” will ex-
u, it they can, the propositions of our
..-..espondent. We know not how soon the
rent is to be followed by another draft,
the anxieties and discontent of our peo-
are intense, over what is to their minds,
evident blundoring and injustice. Ifthe
tas of the towns cannot be corrected ox-
. by the call of an extra session of the
islature, as is claimed, then let the Gover-
issue his call for that forthwith. He can

fi'A. H. Camp, Esq., as will be seen by
crtisement, has been appointed United
.cs Deputy Assessor for this Collection
.rict. Mr. Camp is a young man Of in-
. 'ity, capacity and energy, and will make
lOSt acceptable officer, although ofiozbl

raving chosen in the past to work‘in the

.Te would call attention to the matter of
ise Law taking effect on and after the lat
of September. The law requires all
ies, firms and corporations to make ap-
rtion for licenses to the Assistant Asses-
n the respective districts. Manufacturers
required to keep monthy rccordéof sales
.parties owning or having the care of
logos or vehicles, with the harness need~
’lCI'C‘VItll, valued at $75, also billiard tables
silver plate, to return the same to the
stunt Assessor; and all butchers are re-
, :d to return the number of horned cat-
beep and hogs slaughtered each month,

I reference to the sections that we pub-
of the law, it can be seen that the pen-

, War Claim Agents.
We don’t wish to interfere with the legiti-
mate business of any one, but if the wives
and widows of our soldiers would give the
army of travelling claim agents a wide berth,
*-in nine cases out of ten it would save their
peace of mind and their pockets too. If you
have any business or claim upon Govern-
ment, write first yourself, and state your own
case fully, generally you do all that is
necessary to be done, as well as an agent. If
. your case is embarrassed by want of, evi-
dence or. informality of returns, then apply
to some reputable attorney, whose patriotism
you know to beat least equal to his advice.

WStecl bullet-proof vests are recom-
mended to his men by the Colonel of the
20th Regiment. We are glad that one Colo-
nel is to, be found with sufficient courage to
overcome apopular prejudice among military
men, when, by so doing, he can save, the
lives of his men. We have seen sevoral
cases ourselves, where one Of these vests
saved the wearer’s life, and it is no more
cOWardly to wear one than to stand behind
a rifle pit or carry a pistol in fear; and we
deem it cowardice of the smallest sort to
refuse to wear them when they can be had.

The Standard claims Bridgeport to be the
"Banner Town" in regard to volunteering.
Not so fast, neighbor. We claim that honor
for little New Canaan, and think she is enti-
tled to it—for this county at least. She sent
35 over her full quota, and all three years’
man at that. Besides, the number was raised
two weeks before “drafting time,” and with
only a small bounty offered.
The town of Norwalk sent 183 men on the
first call for three years, while her quota was
only 120. We have also sent 90 men for
nine months, making 30 over the full quota.
Westport had 72 men to raise on Wednes-
day morning. The peOple assembled, as per
order, and before drafting commenced, tried
to raise the number by volunteering. Liberal
bounties were offered, and 59 men volun-
teered. The balance were drafted. Every-
thing passed ofi‘ with credit to the town.
At Fairfleld a disturbance took place
which was put down by the people. See ac-
count Of the affair in another column.
Newtowu also tried to disgrace herself.
They are now trying to raise the number by
volunteering.
New Haven came out gloriously, getting
every man, finally, by volunteering.
Hartford had a sweet time of it. The draft
continued three days, and over 400 men
were drafted. Substitutes, however, are plenty
and cheap. Everything passed off pleasantly.
Stamford, we believe, raisedher quota that
day without resort to a draft.
Wilton drafted 13, but a mistake has been
discovered, which reduces her quota to 3.
Can they not be sent as volunteers ?
Greenwich, Darion, Ridgefield, Bethcl,
Danbury, Bedding, and Weston, we be-
lieve, were not obliged to draft.

of glory down this way. Ever since the war
began, We have made it a point to send a
bundle of Gazettes each week to every Connec-
ticut Regiment, andmean to do it,as long as the
war continues, if the boys are as happy
as they all say they are, to get them, unless
the paper maker forcloses on us, and we
guess he’s won't—he very patient with us.

The 17th Regiment.
This Regiment is now encamped outside
of Fort Marshall, Baltimore, with the pros-
pect of remaining there for some time. From
private letters we glean the following items:
Fort Marshall is on a hill overlooking the
city, and Patabsco river, and within cannon-
shot of Forts Dnryea and Mc Henry. It is
garrisoned, at present, by the Fifth N. Y. V.
Artillery, Col. Graham. A number of sold-
iers of the regiment are from Connecticut,
some from Norwalk.
The following is the routine of daily duties:
Reveille and Roll Call at daybreak; ‘Drill
from 5 1-2 to 6 1-2 o'clock; Breakfast at 7;
Drill from 8 12 till 10 12; Dinner at 12 M;
Drill from 2 till 4; Dress Parade at 5.30;
Supper at 6; Tattoo and Roll Call at 9;
lfTaps at 9.15.
Thursday the two Norwalk Companies
practiced Battalion Drill—the four platoons
acting each as a Company. ' Both Captains
say their men shall have the drill, even if the
rest Of the Regiment does not.
The boys had to camp out several nights
without their tents, which have since been
received.
Wm. A. Titus, Co. A, is missing; he was
last seen, by a member of the company, on
Friday morning, 5th inst.

Soldiers’ Relief Association.
For some weeks past, many ladies have
been in the habit of meeting at the residence
of Mrs. Edwin Hoyt, to work for the soldiers.
Wishing to enlarge their field of usefulness,
they request us to invite all ladies who may
be willing to join in the patriotic enterprise,
to meet at Norwalk Hall, every Tuesday
afternoon, between the hours of two and
six o'clock—commencing to-day. Mr. Lynes
has generously offered the free use of the
Hall one afternoon in each week. Dona-
tions of money and material are solicited.

—“Yes-—but were not the rebels behind
rather than before on, when on took the
lead of Ferry do 0., down ennsylvania
Avenue? Now, be honest, neighbor.— Win-
sted Herald.
WWell, no; according to pur best recol-
lection, there was nothing immediately be-
hind us, except a cow and a company of
U. S. Regulars, and we made them run! In
short, to “be honest,” don’t believe they
would have caught 11 till this time, if we
hadn't been afraid they, not knowing who
we were, were going to fire upon us.
But seriously, friend Herald. there were
traitors before, behind, above and below us,
and had it not been for the fact that the Gov-
ernment turned out every clerk and hod-
carrier with a musket that night, there is no
doubt but that the traitor hordes which then
and now infest that city, with such aid as
they had organized in Maryland and .Vir-
ginia, would have fired the city in a dozen
different places, and in the general meele,
seized, and if they could not hold, have de-"'
stroyed the public buildings of the Capital.
It was with the knowledge of these facts
that every citizen of Connecticut, as he re-
joiced to state, volunteered his services in
the Clay Battalion.

, For the Gazette.
MEssns. Enrrons:-—Now that drafting is
over, I'trnst an inquiry maybe made by what
rule the Adjutant~General of Connecticut
determined the quota to be raised, either by
volunteering or by draft in each town. We
had supposed a tolerably correct idea could
be formed of a State, county or town by its
population; we find, however, that neither
the population, number of voters, or oven
registered militia, furnishes a criterion for
judging what our actual military strength is.
The population of Connecticut is 460,000.
The quota of the State, under the call for
600,000, is 14,290—being ’a trifle short Of
3 1-8 per cent. of the whole population. In
1861, the whole number of 5votes .cast for
Governor was 83,991; 14,290 is 17 per cent.
of the number of votes. The registered mil-
itia Of the State in 1861 was 54,439.26 1-4
per cent. of which Would make the required
quota. 'Now for a glance at' the“ quota of
some of the tbwns, according to General
Orders from 'thc office Of the Adjutant-
General..'. ..:-
' The population of Westport is 3,293;
voters in 1861, 520; registered militia, 324 ;—
3 1-8 per cent. of population is 103; 17 per
cent. of voters, 88; 26'1-4 of registerd militia,
- 85. Quota by Adj't-Gcn. Order, 128.
The population of Windham is 4,671;
voters, 597; registered militia, 290;—'3 1-8
, per cent, of population is 145,; .17, per cent. of
voters, 101; 26 1-4 per cent. of registered
“militia, 764-and yet Windham is asked to
nix-nan easiest-101 or 70-“—but 4,——four l
- The populatibn 'of' Brookfield is 1,224;
voters, 281; militia, 115;-—,-3 :1-8 per-cent. of
population, 38; 17 per? cent. of voters, 47;
.26 1-4 per cent, 115; 3 1-8 per cent. of pop-
ulation, 38; 17per cent. of voters, 47 ; 26 1-4
percent. of registered militia, 30. Quota
asked for 146 l i ' '
The population of Canterbury is 1,591;
voters, 314; militia, 118 ;—3 1-8 per cent. of
population is, 50; 17 per cent. of voters, 53;
261-4 per cent. of militia, 32. Quota re-
quired 6—8133. . ,
And similar strange inequalities are found
through the whole table. The town of East-
port, 'with a population of 1,005, and giving
in 1861, 205 votes for Governor, is called on
for one voluntecr for three years, and one
by way of draft for nine months. And now,
Messrs. Editors, if you can satisfactorily ex.
plain why four towns in Fairfleld county,
:with a population of 10,313, should furnish
513 men for the war, while four towns in
Windham county, with a population of
8,048, should furnish only 12 men, you will
confer a favor not only on your correspond-
ent but many others? ' ’ ' ' G

Mermaid wait NEWS.
The advices flour Marylaflt], on Monday
morning, are Of'the highest importance. Thcy
indicate that the rebel army is retreating
from that State much more expeditiously
than they came into it, and that they are
not making their escape unscatchcd. A dis-
patch from Harrisburg states that on Sunday
morning heavy cannonading was heard at
Hanover, Grccncastlc and Chambersburg,
proceedin from some point south Of'l-Iano-
vcr, no oubt across the Maryland line.
From Baltimore we learn that cannonadmg
was heard all day on Saturday in the direc-
tion of Harper’s Ferry, and a dispatch from
Frederick gives the explanation that it pro-
ceeded from an engagement at the foot of
the mountains, on the road to Sandy Hook,
with a rebel force of two thousand cavalry
and three pieces of artillery. Gen. Burn-
side passcd through Frederick on Saturday
morning, and the whole National army
pushed on after the retreating am ‘by
every available road, and even cro _ the
fields. The reception of Gen. Burnsrde In
Frederick was a perfect ovation, the people
turning out with the wildest enthusiasm;
and when Gen. McClellan entered the place,
the streets and sidewalks were perfectly
blocked with the enthusiastic masses, In-
cluding a large portion of ladies. Our latest
advices from Frederick arc to Sunday fore-
noon. They account for the firing heard
On Friday. It was an artillery duel be-
tween Gen. Pleasonton and the rear guard
of the rebels, who were so hard pushed that
they were forced to fall back to Middle-
town, from which place the were also
driven in the afternoon. On aturday our
cavalry had two affairs with the enemy,
and so pushed them that they were forced
to burn half a mile of their wagon trains.
'This, in addition to a train of a hundred
ammunition and subsistence wagons, .cap-
tured by Gen Franklin, will prove quite .a
serious loss for the rebels. Longstreet Is
said to have been repulsed at Harper’s
Ferry on Saturday afternoon, but at 8 o’clock
on Sunday morning the battle had been re-
newed in that direction, and the firing, as
board at Frederick, was rapid and heavy.
It was expected that our main column would
cOme up with the retreating enemy Satur-
day afternoon, and force them to a general
engagement. Our troops were in fine spirits,
and much eluted at the cordial rcce tion ex-
tended to them by the people of ar land.
All danger of an invasion 'of' Ponnsy vania
may now be considered past, as the rebels
will no doubt have enough to do to escape
the destruction which they have courted.
Gov. Curtin,'however, does not relax ,lus
preparations, but it is determined to put the
State upon a thorough war footing.
The news of a sanguinary battle and re-
pulse of the rebels at Harper‘s Ferry comes
to us with considerable circumstantiality of
detail, in the Baltimore American of Satur-
day, as gathered from a gentleman who left
Frederick on Thursday afternoon. The re-
port was credited at Frederick, both among
the Union men and Secessionists. It is to
the effect that the rebel General Loring had
crossed the Potomac at Williamsport simul-
taneously with the crossing Of Jackson and
Lee at Lecsburgh, and taken the river road
by the canal down the river in the direction
of Harper‘s Ferry. A short distance above
Harper's Ferry he attempted to ford the
river with a large body Of cavalry and infan-
try. When the rivor, which is nearly half a
mile wide, was covered with troops, Colonel
Miles opened upon them with his batteries,
from Camp Hall and from the trossclwork of
the railroad, with grape and canister, caus-
ing the river actually to run with blood,
when the attempt was abandoned. The
rebels had also previously made an attempt
to storm the batteries on the Maryland
Heights, and were repulsed by the masked
batteries, scattering them and strcwing the
earth with the dead. ‘ »
The Baltimore Police, having obtained in-
telligence that a squad of rebel Officers were
being entertained on Friday night at a house
about seven miles from the city, a squad of
them proceeded to the spot, surrounded the
house, and Captured the entire number, as
well as their. .entertainers. Considerable
booty was'al'so captured.
The rebel'attem t against Cincinnati has
met with signal fai uro. The papers of that
city of Saturday, bring us accounts of the
retreat of the enemy, rapidly and in confu-
sion. The roads were strewn with camp-
kcttles and other articles with which sol-
diers dispense with when in a great hurry.
A number of prisoners were taken.
We learn from Nashville, b a dispatch
dated the 5th inst, that Gen. uoll’s army
was then hastening to the support of that
city, which was menaced by the rebel force
under Bragg. The cit was being fortified,
and was to be plac under command of
Gen. Thomas, with orders to defend it at all
hazards. A portion of Gen. Bucll’s forces
had been sent towards Cincinnati to pay
their respects to Kirby Smith’s rebels in the
rear, and fifteen thousand more were to
leave at once for the same destination. It
was doubtless a knowledge of this move-
ment which induced the rebels menacing
Cincinnati to. make their hasty. retreat-,—
Eight thousand men from Gen. Rosecrans’
army had reinforced Gen. Bucll at Nashville,
the fate of which place is probably ere this
decided. _ .
According to a correspondent of the Chi-
cago Iiows,thc affair at Britton’s Lane, Tenn,
instead of being a skirmish merely, was quite
a brilliant little battle. Five hundred of'thc
Twentieth and Thirtieth II is Regiments
are reported asbaving defea five thousand
rebels, With a loss on the rebel side of one
hundred, and seventy-nine killed and be-
tween three and four hundred wounded; of
the Nationals only four were killed and
eighty-two wounded.
The Cairo correspondent of the Chicago
Times gives the following summary of the
doings of the National expedition which left
Fort Donelson several days since, to operate
a ainst Clarksville, Tenn: “It reached that
pace on Monday. The rebels were found
quite strongly posted, but, after a short on-
gagement, they were driven off. The rebels
left some stores, arms, and horses, which our
forces captured. We destroyed one hundred
boxes of bread, and captured a number of
prisoners. The rebels burned two hundred
boxes of crackers and one thousand bales Of
hay before abandoning the place. Cole.
Lowe and Ransom, with their forces, rc-
turncd to Fort Donclson Monday night."_

Three. Hundred Union Troops
Flog Fourteen Hundred Rebels.
Newborn (N. C.) letters state that on Tues-
day, the 2d inst, a battle occurred at Pl ’-
mouth, N. 0., between three hundred Unio
soldiers and fourteen hundred rcbcls, under
command of Col. Garrett. The rebels were
composed of cavalry and infantry. They in-
tended attacking Plymouth, and burning it
to the ground, in consequence of the stern
loyalty of its inhabitants. They came on
Tuesday night within three miles of the
town, intending to bivouac for the night and
make the attack in the morning. This plan
was frustrated through the energy Of one of
the loyal natives, who came quickly into
town and reported the fact to Capt. W. H.
Hammell, of Hopkins’ Zouaves, who, with
his own company and a company of loyal
North Caroliniaus, occupy the town.
Capt. Hommell and his Lieutenants were
sick, so that the command of the little army
devolved upon Orderly Sergeant Green.—
In about an hour after the alarm was given,
twocompanies, a few brave tars, and most
of the male citizens, started out to attack the
fourteen hundred rebels. The little band,
commanded by Sergeant Green, fought the
rebels for an hour, and completely routed
them, capturing the two commanding offi—
cers, forty other prisoners, and about thirty
cavalry horses. Thirty of the rebels were
killed. Sergeant Green lost three in killed:
Sergeant Minor, of Co. F of the Zouavos;
Charles Lewis, of the North Carolina Com-
pany, and a sailor whose name was not as-
certained. When the rebels broke and fled,
the North Carolina company, under Sergeant
Green, together with the Zouaves, followed
them until they were scattered to the four
winds.
Sergeant Green is highly commended for
his skill and bravery.

Oukum a Substitute for Lint in
Wounds.
In a communication to the American
Medical Times, Dr. Lewis A. Sayre of
the Bellevuc Hospital gives very useful
and interesting information respecting
the treatment of wounds made by rifle
balls, and the use of oaknm as a substi-
tute for lint. The following are his re-
marks which shOnld be read by every
surgeon in our country and especially by
all in our army hospitals. He says :—
I have for many years past been in
the habit of using picked oaknm, in all
cases of suppurating . wounds, particular-
ly in connection with opened joints,
where the suppuration is excessive The
great number of gunshot. wounds now in
Bellenve Hospital, where I use it entire-
ly to the exclusion of lint, has furnished
an opportunity for a number Of army
surgeons to examine its advantages, and
they have requested me to make the sub-
ject more generally knowd to the profess-
ion through tlio medium of your valua-
ble medical journal. ,
One of the objects of lint applied to
a suppurating wound, is to absorb the
discharge ; now as most of the lint is com-
posed eithcr entirely or in great part of
cotton, it acts more like tampion, or a re-
tainer of the secretions, than as an ab-
sorbcr.
If‘you will taken bale of cotton and
immerse itin the river for one month or
even longer, and then remove it, you will
find on opening it that the‘cotton in the
center of the halo is perfectly dry, thus
proving that it cannot be‘ soaked through
any great thickness, or that it will not
absorb moisture. So when placed over
a suppurating wound and left for some
hours, it will be found perfectly dry, ex-
cept at the point Of contact ; acting in
fact, like a hung in a barrel, or a cork
in a bottle—to prevent the escape of the
pus—which necessarily burrowsin differ-
ent directions, thus forming extensive
abscesses, and adding greatly to the dan-
ger of the patient; and whcn'removed,
the pus will gush out in large quantities.
Now, if you place picked oaknm over
these same wounds, you will find after
the some number of hours, that, the oak'
um is perfectly saturated with pits, and
the wound itself almost perfectly-dry and
clean—the oaknm like a syphon, and dis-
charging the contents of the abscess by
capillary attraction.
It is necessary to place under the
wound a piece of India-rubber cloth, or
Oiled muslin, for the sake of cleanliness;
and in case Of much inflammation, by
simply wetting the oaknm in cold water,
and wrapping the oiled muslin around
the limb. or wounded part so as to ex-
clude the air, you have at once the neat-
est and most comfortable ponltice that
can be applied to it. In gun shot wounds,
which go through and through a limb,
particularly if made with the Minie ball,
the whirl of sorcw of the ball entangles
in its thread the muscular fibres'and cel—
lular tissue, and separated them from
their, attachments for a long distance
from the real track of the ball itself.
As the muscle and tegumcntary tis-
sues are more freely supplied with blood-
yegggls than the fat and cellular tissues,
the consequence is that they begin to
granulate much more readily than those
other tissues, and will thus often close up
thewound, and prevent "the free escape
of us, before those parts have perfectly
hea ed, and time lead to the formation
of extensive secondary abscesses. I there:
fore in all cases where no blood-vessels
the wound and draw through it a few
fibers of the oaknm or tarrcd rcpo, which
keeps it perfectly free, and the tar is a
very excellent antiseptic, and removes all
unplcusnnt odor. ‘ _ ,
A few fresh fibres are twisted on the
and of the seton at every dressing, and
drawn into the wound, and the soiled,
pieces cut off and removed with the
dressings. -

The n...) from Alexandria 31110,
and he discovered that he had . :ived
in this rospoct,by' finding his c< - » tions
cut off. He knew the movement or the
enemy was not a raid, and that the enemy
in his rear numbered 25,000 under Jackson.
Heintzelman with 10,000 then now arrived
at Warrenton Junction, but he came with-
out artillery, with only forty rounds of am-
munition to the man, without wagons, and
even the field and general officers without
horses. Fitz-John Porter also arrived with
4,500 men. The report now goes' on as
follows:—
“As soon as it became known to me that
Jackson was on the railroad, it became ap-
parent that the uppor Rappahannock was
no longer tenable. I could not detach a suf-
ficent force to meet J uckson, and at the same
time attempt to confront the main body of
the enemy. I accordingly at once evacuated
Warrenton and Warrenton Junction, direct-
ing McDowell, with his own cor-psand Si-
gel’s, and the division of Reynolds, to march
rapidly by the turnpike upon Gainsvillc, so
as to intercept any reinforcements coming to
Jackson through Thoroughfare Gap; and
instructing Reno with his command and
Kearney, with one division of Heintzclman’s.
to march on Greenwich, so as to support
McDowell in case of necessity. I moved
back nlongthc railroad upon Manassas J unc-
tion. Near Kettle Run, Hooker came upon
the advance of Ewell’s division on the after-
noon Of the 27th. A severe action took
ploce,whicb terminated 'at dark, Ewell be-
ing driven from the field with the loss of his
camp and three hundred killed and wounded.
The unfortunate oversight. of not bringing
more than forty rounds of'ammunition be-
came at once alarming. At nightfall Hooker
had but about five rounds to the man left.—
As soon as I learned this I sent back orders
to Fit z-J Obn Porter to march with his corps
at 1 o’clock that night, so as to be with
Hooker at daylight in the morning. The
distance was only nine miles, and he received
the dispatch at 9: 50 o’clock, but did not
reach the ground until 10 o’clock the next
morning. He can probably explain better
than I can the reason of this delay.”
The enemy, however, having suffered se-~
vercly, the army was enabled to push for-
ward to Manassas, and thence to Centreville.
,Rono had reached Manassas Junction; Fitz-
John Porter was ordered up from Broad
Run, where he had stopped. McDowell,
acting with vigor, had been successful, hav-
ing intercepted the enemy at Gainsville, and
driven part of them through Thoroughfare
Gap. Late inthe evening, Gibbon’s Brigade
met the force of Jackson six miles from Gen-
trevillo, where a sharp skirmish ensued, in
which the brigade of Gibbon behaved very
handsomely. ,
The forces having been properly disposed,
the next morning, the battle began. The
report new proceeds :—
“Thc action raged furiously all do , Mc-
Dowell althou b previously in rear of orter
bringing his w» Iole corps on the field in the
afternoon, taking a conspicuous part in the
day’s ope ations. To my Surprise and disap-
pointme , I received late in'tho afternoon
from Porter a note saying that his advance
had met the enemy on the flank in some
force, and that he was retiring upon Manas-
sas Junction without engaging or corning to
the assistance of our other forces, although
they were engaged in a furious action only
two miles distant, and in full hearing of him.
A portion of his force fell back towards Ma-
nassas, and he remained, as he afterward in-
formed me, where he was looking at the
enemy during the whole of the afternoon of
Friday and part of Friday night, passing
over in plain view to reinforce the troops
under Jackson, without an effort to prevent
it or assist us. One at least of his brigades
under Gen. Griffin, got round to Centrcville,
and remained there during the whole of the-
next day‘s battle, without coming on the
field, though in'full view of the battle which
was raging, ‘whilst Gen. Griffin himself spent
the day in making ill-natured strlctures upon
the General’commanding the action, in the
presence'of a promiscuous'as’somblagc.
“Darkness closed the action on Friday,
the enem being driven back from‘his posi.
tions by cintzelman’s corps andcho, con-'
cluded by a furious attack along the turn-
pike by King’s Division of McDowell’s corps,
leaving his dead and wounded on the field.
“ I do not hesitate to say that if the corps
of Porter had attacked the enemy in flank
on the afternoon of Friday, as he had my
written order to do, we should utterly have
crushed Jackson before the forces under Lee
could have reached him. Why he did not
do so, I cannot understand.
“Our men, much worn down by hard ser-
vice and continuous fighting for many pre-
vious days, and very short of provisions,
rested on their guns. Our horses had had
no forage for two days. I had telegraphed
and written urgently for rations and forage
to be sent us, but on Saturday morning, be-
fore the actiou was resumed, I received a
letter from Gen, Franklin, written the day
before at Alexandria, stating to me that he
had been directed by Gen. McClellan to in:
form me that rations and forage for my com-
mand, would be loaded into the cars and
available wagons, as soon as Iwould send a
cavalry escort to Alexandria tobring them
up. All hopes of being able to maintain my
position, whether victorious or not vanished
with this letter. My cavalry was utterly
broken down by long and constant service
in the face of the enemy, and had as they
were could not be spared from the front,
even if there had been time to go back thirty
miles to Alexandria and await the loading
of trains. At the time this letter was writ-
ten, Alexandriawas swarming with troops,
and my whole army interposed between
that place and the enemy. I at once under-
stood that Ere must, if possible, finish what
we had to o that day, as ni ht must see us
behind Bull Rnu'if we wish (1' to save-men
and animals from starvation.”
On Saturday the contest was terrific for
seq/oral hours, with great slaughter. The
men under the immediate command of Gen-
eral McDowell behaved Will! firmness. and.
- gallantry. ' ,
Franklin’s and Sumnor’s corps might have
been brought up in time to have renewed
the contest the next morning, but starvation
gtarcd both men and horses in the face, and
broken and colleen“! the We were in no
condition to bear hunger also. The troops

FIEI.D.—Tlic “nurtiny” at Fairficld proved
not to be as serious as was at onetime
feared. The Selectmen of Fairficld notified
tliq Adjntantchucral, and be untitled the
Governor, who happened in be. at New
Haven, that there was a determined resist-
ance to the draft in that town, and that aid
was required. The Governor innncdiatcly
notified (loloncl Woodward, Commandant
of the post at New Haven, and requested
him to detail a company to supprcss the re-
bellion. The New Haven Journal, edited
by Col. Woodward, thus proceeds:—
“That ofliccr detailed the Stamford com-
PP'DY. Who happened to be on (hill at the
timenmd sent them to the armory of the
New Haven Grays, where they were fur-
nished Wllh arms and accoutrements, and
five rounds of ball cartridges for each man.
A special tram belng provided by Assissant
Superintendent Quintard, the Governor and
the troops started for the scene of riot ac-
companied by Lieut. Ingalls, of the Conbec-
ticut 10th, who acted as Ordnance Sergeant
and also by two other officers of the samé
regnnont, and a dcle ation from the New
Haven Grays, all of whom volunteered their
scrvrces. Upon their departure from the
depot, three cheers were given for the
“Stamford Company,” and the train pro-
ceeded on. During the passage over, the
soldiers examined their guns, and got all
ready for action. When near Fairficld, a
man was observed sitting near the track with
two pistols in his hand, one of which he
pointed towards the engineer. This caused
some excrtomont among those who noticed
him, and was sufficient cause to lead them to
believe that an enemy was soon to be en-
countcrcd. No other warlike demonstration
was noticed, and when the train arrived at
the Fan‘held dcpot,just two hours and thirty
minutes after the dispatch was received by
the Governor, he found, instead of an armed
band formed in “battle array," Selectmen
and a few citizens of the place quietly await-
Ing their arrival.
“It appears that during the forenoon, some
demonstration of resistance to the draft had
been made by a few drunken Irishmcn,
which, finally became so serious, that the
authorities thought it proper to inform the
Governor. The dispatch was sent to Hart-
ford, and four or five hours afterwards was
received by him at New Haven. do the
meantime, the rebellious individuals had
been quieted, the draft ofsixty-ono men had
been completed, and another dispatch was
sent to the Governor, that his services were
not required, but it was not. received. Of
course there was nothing for the soldiers to
do, and the train was ordered to return,
after the Governor had given instructions for
the arrest of all winihad been engaged in
the disturbance, by civil process of law, if
possible—if not, by military power." ,
Thus lmppilypndcd what. has been hith-
erto a ram art's in Connecticut,_lifc, open re-
sistance Of the law. There is, in this law-
abiding community, and land of steady
habits, a rcsistless power in the law. of 'the
