Norwalk, Tuesday, Sept. 23. 1852.

H2;

Our County Fair!
The present week is to be one of consider-

 

 

 

able local interest in consequence of it being
the anniversary week of the 22d Fair and
Cattle Show of the Fairfleld County Agri-
cultural Soeiety. It opens on Tuesday, the
236, and closes on Friday, the 26th. It is to
be held in the broad, level plateau of land
belonging to Capt. Frederick Jarvis, lying
south of the Railroad track and beside the
Norwalk river, just northwest of the Amphi-
theatre, approached fi'om Main street by the
new road running west, from near the resi-
dence of James Wiseman, Esq. This plat.
comprising some eight or nine acres, is se-
curely enclosed by a high board fence, after
the manner of our State Fairs, and within
which; the Tent, and all the various parts
appertaining to the exhibition, will be lo-
cated and conducted. There is, also, a most
capital track within the enclosure, with
abundant space for cattle, swine, ' sheep,
poultry, &.c. doc. In fact, never before has
the Society been so favorably accommodated
for one of its annual Fairs, and it is an un-
doubted fact, that there are now more valua-
ble animals and as fine fruits and crops to be
exhibited as ever before, we can see no rea-
son to doubt the confident expectations Of its
friends, that it will prove one of its most sat
isfactory annual exhibitions.

The Westport Brass Band are engaged for
the week. Prof. Merriam is expected to mar-
shal his fine vocalists, and we shall have
patriotic war songs as well as martial airs.
The opening address will be given by Presi-
dent Plumb this Tuesday evening.

Dr. Hill delivers the annual address on
Friday, and as he has taken time to elabo-
rate his effort, we shall have a treat, which
will undoubtedly embody some interesting
and novel suggestions as well as practical
truths. The Doctor does not always confine
himself to beaten paths, and we can safely
promise in advance a most acceptable ad'
dress.

The Lady Horseback Riding, to come Off
on Wednesday, it is anticipated, will be made
one of the most entertaining and useful fea-
tures of the whole Fair. It is expressly de-
sired of the managers, that the company
shall not be confined to such ladies as are
already skilled in equestrianship, but as many
of our ladies as can procure suitable animals,
will unite in forming with their male attend-
ants a complete cavalcade. We trust our
young ladies will lose no time in arranging
their companies for this most delightful and
heaithful exercise. ‘

Again, and lastly, the managers desire us
earnestly to invoke the aid of its friends in
any and all its departments. Bring in every-
thing from the workshop, the garden and the
farm worthy of notice, and we shall thus,
despite the gloomy condition of our country,
have both an interesting and profitable
Fair. .

We hope our merchants of this and the ad-
joining towns, will also avail themselvcs of
the important opportunity Of advertising
their various articles of sale. The shopkeep-
ers of our village could of themselves are
range an exhibition which would surpass
very many of the Mechanic Institute and
Tradesmen’s Fairs that we have attended in
different parts of the country. Let’s all lend
a helping hand, and then all attend.

TICKETS, of membership, for the Fair, may
be procured at the Book Store Of A. Selleck
as well as at the Secretary’s ofiice, on the,
Fair Ground.

The Prospect Brightcns!

;. After a week of the most depressing
gloom, the prospect brightens. Our armies
are again on the ofl'emt'oo, insteadjcf the de-
fensive, and as hitherto, they are victorious.
There are many things which provoke dis-
appointment and criticism; but let us rejoice
that so much has been accomplished that is
encouraging and glorious, and leave fault-
finding for the disorganizers and disloyal.

Wounded.

Capt. Russell, of this town, and Capt. J. D.
Jennings, (son of Gould D. Jennings,) of the
N. Y. 59th Regt., are reported among th
wounded.

Main Street Improvements.

The new blocks in Main street are now
about ready to receive their tenants. No
greater or more marked improvement has
yet occurred in our thriving village, and
while deprecating the losses sustained by the
late fire, can but congratulate our friends,
who are now to enjoy light and attractive
stores in place of the old dingy rookeries in
which they were previously immured.

We hope the contagion of “ improvement"
will extend to our borough authorities to
the extent of a thorough regradiug of Malu
street, from Dr. Gregory’s down to the Knapp
Sr Lynes’ corner, and after this is done, we
then hope to see the street kept free from the
filth and rubbish which used to disgrace it,
and all who placed it there.

Referring to the new block, reminds us of
the dissoiution of one of our oldest and most
respectable firms, S. dc L. Curtis, who, for
nearly a quarter of a century, have done the
principal tin and sheet iron business, have
dissolved, and Lewis Curtis, the junior part-
iier, continues the business in his new and
attractive store. Mr. Curtis is one of dirt
most upright and worthy citizens, and we
hope his late severe losses may be more than
made good by increased business under his
most attractive auspices.

Batterson has also removed his dry goods
store to the next door, in the Curtis Block.

“ Sold.”

It having been currently reported that the
New York World had sold out, body and
soul, to Ben and Fernando Wood, and the
Secesh Democracy generally, and the tone of
that paper having given the strongest cou-
firmation of the “change,” it publicly denies
the charge of such “sale." The question
now seems, then, whether it really is the
paper that is “sold,” or the Union men, who
take and sustain it?

Maj. D. M. Mead, Of Greenwich, was con-
signed to the hero’s last rest, on Monday
last. He returned from North Carolina sick
with fever, and breathed out his life amid
“ the loved ones at home.” Nevertheless he
died for his country as truly as they who go

Delicious Grapes.

If any of our readers want to see a tempt.
ing sight, let them visit the extensive Nurs-
ery Grounds of George Seymour & Co., at
South Norwalk. Within his Grapery there
are ponderous clusters Of Black Hamburghs,
as large as one’s head, and as tempting to
taste as to eight. They are now in their
maturity, and so large is the yield, that Mr.
Seymour proposes to sell them out to our
own town's people at 25 cts. per pound,
which is just half the regular wholesale
price. But go and look at them if you buy
none, that costs nothing, and will well re-
pay the time.

AN Arman TO THE BnNisvonnNT.—The
ladies having charge of the clothing and hos-
pital stores at the New England Soldiers’
Relief Association Rooms, 194 Broadway,
wish us to inform the public that their sup-
ply of comforts for the sick and wounded
soldiers are nearly exhausted, owing to the
many demands made lately upon them. Do-
nations of outside woollen cloghing, canton
and flannel drawers, flannel shirts, woollen
socks, thick shoes and caps, also crushed
and granulated sugar, farina, arrowroot, corn
starch, lemons and fruit, or money to pur-
chase the same,are still solicited. All contri.
butions should be directed to New England
Rooms, 194 Broadway, care of Col. FrankE

An Acknowledgment.

We mentioned aweek or two ago that the

box. of supplies, lint, bandages, &c., to the
U. S. Sanitary Commissiou. The ladies-
a few days since, received the following ac-
knowledgment of its reception ;—

SURGEON JOHN w. ManAN—“Tnnfiionr
S'rurr non a SOLnrnn.”——We hear this re-
mark daily; but whoever talks of the right
stuff for a Surgeon? And yet a surgeon
on the battle field requires as cool a courage
and as steady a hand, as the most intrepid
soldier. We have known shameful inatan-
ces where the surgeons were unfited for du-
ty, and where the physicians did but half at-
tend to the sick and the dying. But we
have known others where the men so labor-
ing in the cause of humanity were as good
Samaritans in many a painful fight. One
of these we are proud to an is a Connecticut
.man. Surgeon John W. cLeun of Nor-
walk, son of the well known Dr: John A.
McLean, of that town, was through the
fights .of Theron hfare Ga , and Manassas,
at which latter p acehe e half a mile un-
der_fire, and was the last Doctor who remain-
ed in the hospital on the battle field, not
leaving until thefifth shell burst over the
house. That is the right stuff for a surge on,
or a hero—Stamford Advocate.

Connecticut State Fair.

The Executive Committee of the State
Agricultural Society have issued their Pre-
mium Lists for aFair, to be held in Hartford,
October 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th. The State
Legislature have declined to make the usual
appropriation, but trusting to the support of
the producers of the State, and yielding to
the solicitation of exhibitors, the Managers
have made ample preparations for an Exhi-
bition of Industrial Products of the State.
The departments of Agriculture, Horticul-
ture and the Mechanic Arts, should vie with
each other to make the exhibition honorable
to our State.

And what are the prospects? A fruitful
season has filled our barns and storehouses
to overflowing; our orchards are laden with
their rich burthens ; ' our flocks and our herds,
safe from pestilence, cover our hills; and
notwithstanding the ruin which a most atro
cious rebellion has brought upon portions of
our country, yet among us the busy hand of
industry, both on the farm and in the work-
shop, has not failed of its reward, and though
sending thousands of our brave sons to the
battle-field, we have felt little of the horrors
of war.

Citizens of Connecticut! there are special
reasons in a time like the present, why you
should meet in one great gathering to inter.
change views, to discuss public matters, and
to mutually inspire your minds with patriotic
feelings, commensurate with the present
crisis. The strength of acountry depends not
only upon the virtue and patriotic spirit of
its people but upon its material wealth, the
siuews of war, produced by the hpnd of in-
dustry, from its fields and workshops.

Come then, men of Connecticut, to sustain
these great interests, accompanied by your
wives and daughters, equal partners with
you in everything designed to make our
homes happy, and to sustain the honor and
prosperity of our country.

formerly a printer. ‘ In this way she
came in possession of her type and press.

A Whole Relic] Brigade Cap-
tured. . ‘

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21, 1862.
We have just received a brief dispatch
from one of your special correspondents,

from our advance lines.
Heavy firing was going on all day yester-

ketry, and many wounded men were being
brought in.

Our troops had crossed the Potomac in
large force, and were fighting on the other
side. The rest of the army had advanced to
the river. ‘ ~
In the fighting, so far, we had decidedly

the adVantage of the Rebels.
Yesterday we captured a whole brigade of
them, 2,000 in number.

This your correspondent asserts upon the
testimony of his own eyes. When he left
the field at midnight of Saturday, the firing
had not ceased—Tribune.

The Harper’s Ferry Disgrace.—
lletaking of the Place by the

Federal Forces.

New Your, Sept. 20.
The Philadelphia Press contains the fol-
lowing letter :—
Monday afternoon the Commander-in-
Chief ordered Burnside to relieve Franklin
on the left, and move rapidly upon Harper’s
Fe to save Colonel Miles, who had sent
wor that he could not hold out much longer
‘ than Monday noon or night.
Burnside’s corps bivouacked b the road-
side on Monda night. Before aylight on
Tuesday, the w ole corps was in motion for
Harpers Ferry where we arrived .about 11
o’clock, and Gen. Mansfield, wrth Gen.
Reno’s old division, at once engaged the
enemy, driving him, to their surprise, across
the iron railing bridge, and our temporary
pontoon bridge.

The truth at once flashed upon us as our
men pushed Cir—Miles had surrendered. On
went our men till the iron bridge was reach-
ed, and here a battery was ordered forward
to clear the way for-a charge of twelve picked
re ments under Gen. Parke. ,

e rebels retired on our advance, and our
troops entered the works. We found the
guns safe, secured most Of the stores and
arms, and in a short time wore following the
rebels towards Winchester.

Several hundred of Miles’ command were
standing drawn up in theitown of Harper's
Ferry, ready to surrender and be' parclled,
and their Joy knew no bounds when they
discovered that we had re-taken the place.

The loss in re-taking Harper’s Ferry was

slight, and itwas evident that the rebels only
captured the towu in order to secure a pas-
sage south ou the appearance of the national
troops. . _
The retreat of the rebels was precipitated
into a regular rout, but as General Burnside
had more than executed his orders, and as
his men were worn out, the pursuit ceased at
Martinsburg.

I was soon satisfied that Harper’s Ferry
was not to be held, and that an advance was
to be made up the river, where the roar of
cannon was heard continually in the direc-
tion of Sharpsburg. . Our whole corps was
soon in motion to form the left wing on the
Potomac in the great battle which we felt
confident would soon take place.

The same correspondence contains the fol-
lowing:—

Harper's Ferry was taken by JaCkson’s ten
strong brigades.

The rebels reported that Sigel was thun-
derin in the rear. but that ni ht Jackson
woul cross the Potomac at illiainsport
and reinforce Lee.

The rebels acknowledge that their losses
up to this time had been fearful iii killed and
wounded, but no account was taken of this
by the generals, who, in their desperation,
ware determined to sacrifice the rebel'army
in the present issue.

The loss in prisoners has been small every-
where, except at Harper’s Ferry, where our
forces surrendered in the most unflattering
manner.

We have lost in killed and wounded dur-
in the past week not less 9000 men.

he enemy acknowledge a loss of 15,000
killed and wounded, and we have nearly
7000 prisoners. ,

Our captures in munitions of war and
stores from the rebels are very heavy and
they Often exhibit a want of many artic es on
the field, but cover most of their short com-
in with a remarkable craft.

" n. Lee having suffered much from
wounds received in a fall from his horse and
a minie ball in his thigh, has retired to Win-
chester for a little rest.

Gen. Longstrect and Hill are both wound-
ed, and Gen. Anderson is sick—so that
Stonewall Jackson is left in command.

The 14th Connecticut Regiment lost large-
ly. Five color-bearers were shot while it
was engaged. Capt. Willard was killed. The
regiment held their ground for half an hour
under a heavy cross fire, and then fell back
to a better position.

Friday Morning, Sept. 19,1862.

Yesterday was occupied in burying the
dead and caring for the wounded. _

Therebels sent in a flag of truce in the
morning asking permission to bury their
own dead, which was granted. .
At first the orders were very stringent
against holding intercourse with the rebels,
but during the afternoon the were relaxed
and the troops Of both sides reelyinterming-

led. ' .

ed and wounde :-- .

tion. Whether their whole force has cross-
ed the river, or taken a new position nearer
the river, is not at present known.

Had the rebels remained a general engage-
ment between both armies would have tak-
en place. this morning.

THE GREAT BATTLE OFWEDNESDAY,

BALTIMORE, Se t. 19.

A gentleman who left the battle- aid at 9
o'clock on Wednesday night, confirms the
statement of the reporter of the Associated
Press at headquarters in every particular. _

He says that our forces occupied the posi-
tion chosen by the enemy at the commence-
ment of the battle, and that the rebels were
driven back a mile and a half at all paints
except upon our extreme right, which they
still held at the close of the day. ' .

Our informant was all day Within a hun-
dred yards of General McClellan, and says
that the results of the day wereregarded by
him and his staff as a glorious victory,
though not a final one. .

There was no faltering at any point of the
line of our whole army.

Our soldiers were exultant at the result of
the da ’s fight, and Gen. McClellan was in
the big est spirits.

The opinion of Gen. McClellan and those
around him was that e final result would
gepend on those wh got reinforcements

rst.

Our informant says that nothing had been
heard on the field of the capture of General
Longstreet or the killin of General Hill,
and that there ism truth in either report.

Twenty thousand more reinforcements
were expected to reach the field yesterday
from Harrisburg.

Our informant thinks the loss of the rebels
full equal to ours. .

he gentleman who furnisha us with the

foregoing intelli rice is one of our most re-
spectable and intelligent citiz and says
that while the battle of chn _ y was not

a decisive one, it was a contest in which all
the advantages were with Gen. McClellan,
who occupied the field of battle at the close
of the day. ,

To Major Gen. Bullock, General-in-L'Iuhfi-

IUKA, Miss, Sept. 20th.—Gen. Rosencrans

ed in. Gen. Ord, was to the Nam) with an
armed force of about 5, men, and had
some skirmishing with the rebel pickets,

This morning the fight was renewed by
Gen. Rosencrans, who was nearest to the
-town, but it was found that theeuemy had
been evacuating during the night, gOing
South.

General Hussite»: and Stanle with caval-
ry, are in the field in pursuit. his will no
doubt break up the enemy, and possibly force
them to abandon much of their artillery.—
' The loss on eitlfer side in killed and wound.
ed is from 400 to 500, The enemy’s loss in
arms and tents will be large. '

We have about 250 prisoners.

I have reliable intelligence that it was
Price’s intention to move over East of the
Tennessee; in this he has been thwarted.

Among the enemy’s loss. are Gen. Little,
killed, and Gen. Whitefield, wounded.

I cannot speak too 11'5th of the energy
and skill displayed by en. Rosencrans in
the attack, and of the endurance of the
troops. , .
Gen. Ord’s command showed untiriug
zeal, but the direction taken by the. enemy,

L INvasroN anli- l '1‘? m BATTLE pi: WEDNES-

BAY.

lIizanQ’ns Aiini' on THE I’OTOMAC, l

. September 17,

This has been uneventful day in the his-
toi'y of the. rebellion. A battle has taken
pl: toe in which the army of the Potomac has
agz un been victorious, and which exceeded
in extent any battle heretofore fought on this
continent. At the dawn of day the battle
was renewed on the center and right, by
IIO okcr and Sumner, who after a sharp con-
flict of two hours, drove the enemy about
one mile. The Rebels rallied shortly after-
wards, and wntli terrible loss regained most
of the ground. At this time the fearless and
indomitable Hooker received a shot in the
ankle, and was carried from the field. The
command of his troops now devolved on
Spinner. Gen. Richardson, commanding a
division, was severely wounded at the same
time. Gen. Sumner determined to retake the
lost ground, and ordered the troo s to ad-
vance, which they did with it wil , driving
the Rebels before them with great slaughter.
They not only rctook the ground, but drove
them a quarter of a mile beyond. In this
action Gen. Mansfield was shot through the
lungs, and died soon after. Durin this time
the troops under Burnside and Otter had
not been idle. _ They drove the Rebels from
the line of Antietum Creek, on the main road
to Sharpsburg, built a bridge, the old one
having been destroyed, and ochupied the op-
pOSlle bank. The loss here was considera-
ble. The troops now hold both banks of the
creek. ,
To get possession of the ranges of hills on
thought and left hand side of the road, from
which the rebels were thundering awa with
artillerv;.was a task not easily accomp ished.
Sykes brigade, with the assistance of Sumo
not, .carried the ridge on the right side after
conniderable trouble and loss, the rebels run-
ning in all directions. It is now 5 o’clock,
and all the enemy’s positions have been car-
ried except the one on the left hand side of
the foad. To do this Burnside was assigned.
The artillery opened and the infantry advanc-
ed. Thc point was carried at the charge,
but we were forced to retire before a supe~
nor force. Knowing that if they lost this
ridge acomplete rout of their army would
be the result, they fought with great desper-
ation. Darkness now overlooked the two
armies, and hostilities ceased as though by
mutual consent. The battle lasted from 5
o’clock in the morning till7 at night, with-
out a moment's cessation. The conduct of
all the troops, without exception, was all
that any general could wish. Several re i-
ments of new troops, who were in action fgor
the first.time, behaved admirably. Hundreds
of Marylauders were present to witness the
battle, which could be seen from many of the
surrounding hills. The loss is heavy on
both sides. Ours will probabl reach in
killed and wounded 10,000. but of the
enemy will not exceed it. The enemy’s
dead, which nearly all fell into our hands,
were thickly strewn over the fields, in many

laces lying in heaps. Our wounded were
immediate] carried from the field, and the
best possib e attention given.

When Gen. Hooker fell Gen. McClellan
immediately proceeded to the right, where
he was enthusiastically received, and by his
presence added much to our success in re-
covering the lost ground. He was in the
centre and on the left as well, anxiously
watching the progress of the battle, and giv-
ing directions as to the manner of attack.—
He is in his tent to-night for the first time
since he left Frederick City. We took 1,500
prisoners during the day, while the enemy
obtained but few. The following 'Oi'ficers
were among the killed and wounded: Gen.
Hartstufi' wounded, Gen. Duryea wounded,
Gen. Sedgwick wounded in the shoulder,
Co]. Childs, 11th Conu., seriousl wounded,
Lieut. Col. Parisen, 57th New ork, killed,
Capt. Audenreid, aid to Gen, Sumner, wound
ed, Major Sedgwick killed, Col. McNeil of
the Bucktails, and Lieut. Allen, were killed,
Col. Polk 2d United States sharpshooters,
wounded, Maj. Burbank, 12th Mass.,wound~
ed. Several other prominent officers were
reported killed and wounded but nothing
positive is known concerning them.
