Norwalk, Tuesday. October 21, 1852.
lieVe, to narrate in this epistlc some account
Gen. Sigel, and the battle-field of Gen. Pope’s
' Bull Run fight, with matters and things in
and about Washington, in general.
As stated in my last, the evening following
my return from Fortress Monroe I spent at
the Head Quarters of Gen. Joseph Hooker,
at the Insane Asylum opposite the Navy
"Yard, where the warrior awaits the healing
of his wound. Soon after our arrival, Gov.
Andrews of Massachusetts, was ushered in,
andthe reader may well believe that in these
two earnest war men the steel and flint came
in full contact, and but for the restraints
, which limit the soldier’s criticisms of his su-
' periors, the sparks which lit the hero’s sense
of wrong would have glowed in a flame Of
fervid indignation. And abold, dashing and
‘ honest ofiicer who has been compelled to see
, and hear what Hooker has must be more
;,.than man if in the confidences of fliendly in-
tercourse he can smother all the promptings
of a true and noble heart. It would not he-
1"Come me to report conversations drawn out
in social chit-chat, nevertheless, Gen. Hook-
‘ - or is a man Of no reservations. He speaks his
sense of duty and his sense of wrong, as a
‘brave men only could do. He is not enam-
, gored of the “strategy” of our military rulers
'and'dOesn’t disguise the fact, and I became
more convinced than ever, that wherever
' one of our Officers dares to tell the whole truth
and- knows whereof he is speaking, he is sure
to express about the same judgment upon the
, conduct of this war that common sense civil.
iaus are wont to do at home. Gen. Hooker
fully believes that the capture of the rebel
army at Antietam was both a possibility and
a" duty, despite the surrender of Harper’s Fer-
ry. Nor is this the first and only time in
which the brave soldier has freely jeopardi-
zed his life in battle to have his perils mock-
ed, and the country robbed of all the fruits
or his fairly won victories. So much for the
sentiments of “ Fighting Joe Hoo .” Let us
‘ all devoutly pray that either he, or those as
' earnest and true as he, may yet be put in
.controlling command of our brave armies.
“So great is the popular admiration of the
_man, and so conspicuous has been his brave-
"ry and success in nearly every hard fought
battle, that a. little space to his personnel can-
' not fail to interest the reader. He is a native
- of glorious old Massachusetts; in years just
past forty; in complexion florid; in statue
tall and straight as an arrow; lithe of limb
and must be of immense muscular power.
.He has a fine classical head, and soft mild
' eye, and among the ladies would be pro-
" ’nounced a superlatively ‘good looking man.’
He made his first military record in Mexico,
where he was thrice brevetted for gallant
conduct. _ Although a “ West Pointer” he is
said to be a lion in battle, and a quiet, unpre-
tending gentleman in private life, strange as
it may seem. Neither is he of what is well
known as the Select" West Point Ring” of
" strategists" and “do nothings." At the
close of the Mexican War he resigned his po-
sition in the regular army, went to California
and retired upon a farm. The next we hear
Of him, the Government called him out to
construct a national road from California to
Oregon; this done, he retired again to his
farm, where he remained till this wicked re-
bellion broke out, when he again offered his
services to his country. He was made a
Brigadier-General of Volunteers early in May
of last year, and was stationed on “ guard
duty” on the Maryland banks of the Poto-
mac. In the “strategic" war on the Penin-
sula he made himself more conspicuous than
any other General, and in short has done
more hard, desperate and successful fighting,
up to and including the battle of Sharpes-
burg, than any other General in the field.—
Here he was wounded, in the afternoon of
the day which covers his name with immor-
tal renown. He had engaged the entire reb-
el army with his little division, and driven
them back full at mile when he received his
wound, and had to be borne from the field.
It is a singular fact, to say the least, that
Gen. McClellan Was overlooking this une-
qual struggle nearly the entire day, before
any other division was ordered up to engage _
the enemy and divert their united assault up-
on him. Is it to be wondered at that such a
General should be adored by his men, or re-
ceive the acclaim of his grateful countrymen.
Long live “ Fighting J 0c Hooker," and could
he be put in chief command no happier au-
gury_'of an early close of this fearful contest
could, in my humble judgment, be given the
country.
From Gen. Hooker it is pleasant to turn to
another man, who by hard blows and despe-
rAtc fighting, by personal risks and well-earn-
ed su'cc‘eSs, hath not only won the idolatry
of his men, but the confidence and gratitude
of every earnest loyal heart—a man who like
HoOkcr, plays the fearful stake of human
- lines, not to make himself, or any other Gen-
eral a President, but who fights hard and val-
iantly for national unity and for liberty—'—
GEN, FRANZ SIGEL!
The afternoon following my visit to Gen.
Hooker, it was my good fortune to fall in 3
with Capt. Lyon, of the General’s staff, and
acécpted from him an invitation to accom-
pany him to Head Quarters at Fairfax Court
House, whither we arrived just in time to
witness the review of the forces under Gen.
Sigel’s command by Gen. Banks. Gen.
Banks, with a portion of his staff, had quietly
slipped from Washington in a special train,
via. Alexandria, reaching the field of inspec-
tion a little before 4, P. M. The appearance
and evolutions of Sigel’s troops received his
warmest commendation, and a transient Ob-
scrvcr like myself would scarce have been
able to disern any traces of the severe strug-
gles through which some of the old regi-.
ments had just passed, had it not been for
their blood-stained and bullet-tattered flags.

LOCAL SCANDAL—Some three weeks since
well as crinoline, were greatly excited by the
report that a new born infant had been “put
to nurse” with a respectable family in Main
St., of whose maternity the said gossips knew
nothing. The house was forthwith besieged
by a curious, excited, enquiring throng, and
every possible effort made to ascertain the
origin or pedigree of the little waif. Failing
in this, and without stopping to think (gos-
sips never think) that if the parents of the
child desired to keep its paternity a secret.
they would not put it too nurse publicly in
the place where it was born, they forthwith
commenced a general guessing and insinuat-
ing, until the town was full of rumors imput-
ing the maternity of the child to one, another,
and another of our most respectable young
ladies; and it seemed as if a general war up-
on irreproachable female character had been
inaugurated, and was likely to be waged
with a zeal and vigor which would satisfy
the most impatient and malignant gossip
among us. 0A few days, however, were suf-
ficient to satisfy thinking people of the falsity
and absurdity of the imputations, so far as
the young ladies of our town are concerned;
and the good sense and justice of our people
have marked the authors of these calumnies,
and they will be remembered, whether the
friends of the injured ones shall or shall not
deem an example or two necessary to prevent
a recurrence Of such shameless trifling with
unsullied reputations.
We do not allude to this matter because
any public notice of it is necessary, so far as
the people of Norwalk are concerned, but
because some of the many stories aimed at
those of the highest character and respects:
bility, may be circulated in other towns, and
obtain a credence there which they cannot
have here. We deem it our duty, therefore,
to state and are authorised to state that neither
of the parents of the child in question, were born
in Normal/c, or live, or have ever lived here, and
that each and every story, shrug, or insinua-
tion to that effect which has been made, are
utterly false and disgracefully slanderous.

33" The 2d Conn. Battery of Flying Ar-
tillery, Capt. John P. Sterling, left their quar-
ters at Bridgeport Wednesday morning last,
en route for New York by turnpike road.
They reached Norwalk early in the afternoon
and were received with our accustomed hos-
pitality. The “ freedom of the city” was vo-
ted to all, which included, in a few instances,
some of our Norwalk “ teddy.” This proved
too much for the Battery, as they evidently
had never encountered an enemy of such
fearful power before, and although they threw
out their scouts and reconnoitcred in force,
the enemy was too many for them. Their
principa “ charge" was made upon Peter
VanZandt’s liquor store, where two “ punch-
eons” of the enemy were captured and rolled
into the street and their vital current set to
flowing through bullet holes in the head. The
glass doors and windows of the store also yiel-
ded to the shock of battle. But perhaps the
least said the better for all concerned, so we
forbear, as the occurrences were a deep mor-
tification to both officers and most of the men.
The company presented a fine appearance
and were enthusiastically cheered on their
arrival and on their departure.

Carrr 15TH REGT.ILL1NOISINF'Y, l
,
BOLIVAR, Tenn, Oct. 8, 1862. )
Mr DEAR Farnnn—
Thinking you might hear of the late bat-
tles fought at Corinth and vicinity, and the
part the 4th Division, Gen. Hurlburt, took
in it, I take the opportunity of giving you a
description of one battle.
Last Saturday morning, the 4th inst, at 3
o’clock, we were ordered to march with one
day’s qtions in our haversacks and two in
the wagon, leaving all the camp equipage,
&c., behind. Precisely at the hour appointed,
the whole Division took up their line of
March, the 15th Illinois in advance of the 2d
Brigade—the Division numbering but 5,040
men, artillery, infantry and cavalry. We
continued our march till 5 o’clock, P. M.,
when we were startled at the sound of car-
bines from our cavalry, driving in the cue-
my’s pickets. We advanced again, and
arrived at the Big Muddy, where we had
driven the Rebels from, and taken possession
of the bridge. We halted on the creek, and
proceeded at once to cook our suppers, and
rest, lying on our arms—the distance being
twenty-five miles we had travelled during
the day made us all sleep well. The reveille
beat at the usual hour, and every thing went
on in the usual manner until nine o’clock,
when we were ordered to fall in, the 2d
Brigade in the advance. All quiet for two
miles, when we heard the same firing as the
night previous from the cavalry, then we be
gan to think that there was no more boy’s
play. Moving on slowly in column, We
'came up With the 7th Ohio Battery, who
were shelling a house that contained a gang
of rebels firing on our advance. As a mat-
ter of course, the house was evacuated in an
instant. We were then ordered to front—y
load at will, which we did. and rammed the
Mtnnies home with a good will. We then
proceeded on to the scene of action, through
heavy timber, ravines; corn fields, &c., until
an orderly came up and ordered double-
quiCk in a line, the thermometer about “120
in the shade,” and the enemy’s shells flying
through the air. We dashed up the corn
field, and formed our line on ',the‘cxtreme
left of the Brigade, supporting the 14th Illi
nois, one of the best regiments in the service:
Our position was on a bill facing the river,
and that of the enemy was at the bottom of
the hill in the lniddle of the road, their line
extending along a thick hedge fence and in
the rear of a large cotton-gin. The ball now
opened" with artillery, the 7th Ohio and Bol-
ton's Batteries, and continued half an hour,
when they ceased, andwe were ordered to
advance. Keeping an excellent line, we ad-
vanced about 80 rods, when we discovered
the enemy lying in ambush; they arose to
fire, but we were too quick for them, and
sent in a most deadly volley, which caused
them to skcdaddle and endeavor to cross the
bridge. We outflanked them, and the result
was we had 250 of them, and the battery of
4 guns that had been playing on us, and also
leaving over. 150 killed and wounded of them
on the field. We were then at the Hat‘
chic River. A few moments intermission»
and we were ordered to cross the bridge on
the double—quick and charge. Then we suf-
fered. The enemy had planted a battery
not more than 20 rods from the bridge, and
were putting in the most deadly fire I ever
saw on us. Shell, canister, and grape were
coming so fast that we could not see the
ground for the dust, but we crossed, and
opened on them, and drove them over a high
bluff, not giving them time to take their
knapsacks, camp equipage, or any thing
else withthcm. We moved on the hill and
found they had formed another lineoverin
the edge of the timber about 100 rods from
our line, where they expected we would
charge on .em as before; but they were
sadly mistaken. We sent out two companies
Of skirmisbers, and stirred them upvtill they
moved out their artillery in plain sight of us,
and opened on us with that infernal grape
but to no effect. Our 4 batteries then moved
up and opened on them: Major Campbell,
Chief of Artillery, commanding. was stand-
ing in the rear of the batteries, crying out—-
“Give them a few of the solid shot, and then
a round or two of grape, and then a dose of
the canister!” It was very amusing for us
, to listen to these commands while lying in
the rear of the guns. We could; see them
fall by plattoons. After an hour of steady
firing from 10 guns all was quiet, and the
gray. backs were skedaddling through the
woods in every direction, and they are going
yet. We went over to their lines, and 'found
all manner of army implements. One splen-
did 12 pound howitzer, 3 limbers, and 4 case
sons, wagons, tents, provision, ammuni-
tion, &c., too numerous to mention. The
cavalry pursued them, and sent in Iv'numbcr
of prisoners. Just before dark we heard the
booming of cannon again; it was that of
Rosecrans playing into them. All night pris-
oners were coming in, nearly starved: The
rascals had been fighting and marching four
days with scarcely any thing to eat, and they
thought it very hard that we should pitch
into them. There were three divisions of
them, numbering nearly 20,000, under com-
mand of Price, Van Dorn, and Lovell; and
the great joke is that the 4th Division, only
5,040 men, gave them the worst whipping
they ever had. It was just a year ago last
Sunday, that we started in Missouri with
Fremont in pursuit of Price and We have
just found him, and I hope we haven’t got
through with him yet. Monday morning a
detail was made to go out and bring in the
spoils. They returned in the afternoon, and
reported that there were not teams enough
in the Division to haul the spoils. They
said the train was scattered for six miles
through the woods, wagons upset, and pro-
visions were strewn in every direction.—
.Tucsday morning the Division Quarter Mas-
ter went out and gathered up what he could
carry, and burned the balance. Among the
lot burned was five wagons loaded with am-
munition. At noon we were ordered to load
the wounded into the wagons and march for
Bolivar. After having burned every thing
in that country, we started and reached Mid-
dleton at dark, and burned’the secesh hole
to the ground. We marched out 15 miles
and went into camp. This morning at 4
o’clock we resumed our march, and arrived
at Bolivar at 9 O‘clock. We think that this
expedition was the most brilliant afl'air dur-
ing the war; and Gen. Hurlburt deserves
great praise in marching his little Division
in the face of an enemy three times as large
as his, and thoroughly routing them.

S‘VORDS AND \VORDS.
Swords are more than instruments of steel, i
with polished surface, keen edge, and sharp 5
point. lVords are more than sounds from
human lips, filling the listening car and im-
pressing the waiting mind. The sword is
representative. It has a history. It can
point to a constituency. It shoWs clear evi-
dence of its authority. Upon its point hangs
the logic of those who have chosen it as their
exponent. Along its edge lie their purposes.
Beneath its smooth surface slumbcrs their
strength. They are great as its achieve-
ments are mightiest and bloodiest. Such are
the Mohammedans. words, too,"are repre-
sentative, and of classes and nations, very
unlike those who say to the sword, “go be-
fore us.”: In' the representative capacity
words have a far Inching influence, vast
power and an important mission. Upon
their bright wings fly the thoughts of those
who send them forth. The logic Of such lies
hidden beneath the surface of sound, down
in the depths of meaning and substance.—
Tke power of such in argument, consists in
the endless application and mysterious com-
bination of words. What swords are in the
bands of the followers of the false Prophet,
words are from Christian lips. Mohammcd
lifted up the sword; Christ lifted up His
voice.‘ The Imposter said, “as ye go, con-
quer.” Christ said, “as ye go, preach.”
Whenever, tben,'whether in Japan or Ger-
many, in Africa or North America, brute
force is opposed to mind power, there in re-
ality swords are matched against words. .
In the forepart of the great struggle now
going on in this Republic—the terrible civil
war that Slavery is waging against Freedom:
for the silencing of a free press and free‘
speech, for the subversion of freedom’s rights,
and the overthrow of its institutions, you
see words and swords in their representative
capacity.
‘ So long as freedom could be persuaded,
or bribed, or driven to put 'the seal of expe-
diency upon its lips, slavery grew strong, dc-
fianginsolcut. Unused to words of just rc-
buke, slavery grew mad and chatted with
rage, when freedom broke the seal anddare'd
to speak. Bold threats were hurled. Of
what avail were they? Blank cartridges
never kill. He ran toward the good old
fortress of divine truth. Every avenue was.
strongly guarded; every attempt to force a
passage and find protection was a signalg'e.
pulse. He turned to the intrcuchments dug ,
by political parties. He saw uplifted hands
waving in welcome, and so he hoped for rest.
~ This hope was vain so long as the powerful
batteries of‘truth were throwing burning
words upon him. and his treacherous'bosts,
What afailed party protection 1’ .In spite of
this, overthrow seemed certain. Right words
were likely to prove an over match for ly-
ing words. This would not do, and’so'sla-
derous sword, lifts it high in air, and makes
a thrust at freedom’s heart. Now'he is fairly
represented before the, world. Swords tell
of the superior and inferior race, of the
crusher and the crushed, of the served and
the servile. And are not these slavery’s at-
tendants? Words tell of intelligence and
thought, of light and knowledge. Are not
these freedom’s companions ?
I charge slavery with cowardice. He has
proved himself a senseless, noisy braggart,
and note reasoning man, a devil and not a
Christian. He was afraid to meet freedom
upon the broad arena of free speech; he was
afraid to plead the case openly at the bar 'Of
the ballot box; he was afraid to submit his
arguments to the scrutiny and decision of en-
lightened Conscience. Freedom askcd this
and no mere. He was slow, too'slow, to
change his field, his plea and judge. Sla-
very was beset with fears. :They would not
be charmed away; he could not drive them
away, no, not with his trusty sword, though
he struck again and, again. 1 He was mad;
his sword must drink blood. But fears are
bloodless'and so he plunged it in a brother's
heart. - " ‘ " ‘ " ‘_ ‘. ”f} I, ' .
Freedom, :thyl words ihould‘ cease; the
time for them has passed.' Then seal thy
lips, incase thy heart in steel, change every
nerve to brass, wipe palcness from thybrow,
shake trembling from thy knees, andgo ye
forth to wart Match sword with sword !-
Proclaim it'wide and far, “Freedon surren-
ders, never I” .
I will show you the spirit of slavery.
Judge ye whether its, inspiration. is from
heaven or hell? You are in the Afghan vil-
lage of Tehkal. A crowd is gathered in the
street. One of the multitude lifts nphis voice
and shouts in the Mohammedan phrase,
“The world was created for the sake of Mo-
hammad.” Change the last word to slayery,
and you have an utterance suited to the life
of the devotee of a system quite as iniquitous
as that originated by the prophet of Mecca.
“Prove your assertion," says a Missionary to
the presuming Afghan. “The proof would be
easy if we had as many guns as you,” is'the
complacent reply. Put these arguments into
the handset the advocates of slavery, and
give them power to wield, them, and they
would not cease until they had wrung from
every opposc'r a confession as submissive as
that of Condacc in the “Minister’s Wooing,".
co nceming total depravity. They wOnld put
you under solemn oath to testify that “Sambo
is cousin to the ape”: that Africa was. made;
for a slave pen, that every sable son of that
injured Continent should be pictured with
his face upon a foreign soil, and the heel of
a white-faced Nabob upon his neck. “Un-
fairncs's,” cries the Afghan in bitter acousa-
tion against the Missionary. . “You use any
argument that makes for your side, and the
only argument which establishes mine, I am
not permitted to use, viz., the sword”?-
The ‘parallel holds good. between uneasy
Afghan and slavery personified.‘ “Unfair-
ness;’_’ is the whining cry that! has ceme from
plantationand city, from home and sanctif-
ary, from forum and congress hall. ' “Unfair.-
ness" is the false charge that has been rolled
year after year upon the Government, al‘
Ways er‘ring upon the side of'elemency.—
“Freedom,” this is the charge; “can sax what
he pleases, but 1, poor, persecuted, hated
slavery, am not allowed to Do as I please.” ;
Sad truly! But we have no comfort to
give—no confession to make—no position to
yield. Poor slavery! You have preferred
swords to words, now use them to the bitter
endl Find out your .last .ditch! Press on
to the dircst extremity l . but know of a suretv,
that in the end, freedom will have his way,
thOugh he conquer it with your own chosen
weapon, and his say 'too, though he proclaim
it among the ruins . of your depopulated
cities. . , ' . » “
He will lift. up his voice like a trumpet,
and make known, wherever man is found,
the one blood—one rig. t—one destiny theory
of the word of God. C will put forth his
might and assist helpless Africa to stretch
out her hands unto God. ’ -
Sang the tragic poet of the Greeks, it was
Arscbylus of Elensis, “Let the right conquer.”
We take up the refrain of this-pleawhich
comes to us across the sea of centuries, and
breathe it in humble prayer to the “God of
ba'ttles:” 0, give courage to right hearts;
give success to swords that are drawn in de-
fence of the right; give power to right words.

tO-day by a portion of the Army of the PO-
tomnc in the direction of Winchester. The '
division of Gen. Hancock, late Gen. Rich-
ardson’s, left i Harper’s Ferry at an early hour
this morning-“on the road to Charleston.—
Threo miles from'Bolivar they came upon
the enemy’souter pickets, who retired as
our troo s adrenced', until within one half
mile of ‘harl’éstown, where they formed In
line of battle, with dismounted skirmishcrs
thrown to the front. By having no infantry,
they covered the approaches to Charlestown
by two pieces of artillery upon the left and
three upon the right of the turnpike, with
the view ofdisput ng the occupation of the
town. A battery was soon brought into'po-
sition, and opened with shell and solid shot,
which was promptly replied to by the five
rebel pieces already in position. The en-
gagement, which-was carried on wholly b -
artillery, lasted two hours, when the rcbe s
fell back to the hills beyond the town. Our
loss was one man killed and eight wound-
ed. Ca t. Smith, of the Richmond Artil-
lery, an eight men were wounded and tak-
en prisoners, which is the only loss they are
known to have sustained.
The troops under General Hancock enter-
ed Charlcstown about 12 o’clock and occu-
pied it, the enemy leaving in our hands over
one hundred who were wounded at the bat-
tle of Antietam. . .
At four o’clock the infantry formed in line
of battle on the right and left of the road
leading to Bunker hill, when the apvanc-
ed, driving the enemy from the hll s, 'and at
dark occupying a position two miles beyond
the town. _
Information obtained to-day shows that
the main body of the rebel army occupy a
osition extending from Bunker Hill to the
IShenandoah. ‘
Gen. McClellan arrived at Charlestown at
2 o’clock, where he remained during the
night.
But very little Union feeling was shown
by the people of Charlestown upon its oc-
cupation by our. troops.

ANOTHER BATTLE PENDING.
HEADQ’Rs. Agm on THE POTOMAC, } -
ct. 17.—Afternoon.
Yesterday morning when Hancock ad-
vanced his division to Charleston, Gen.
Woodbury’s division crossed the Potomac
at Sheperdstown Ford, taking the road lead-
ing to Smithfield, a small vrllage half way
between Charleston and Bunker Hill. Gen.
Woodbury encamped last night between
Leetown and Kearneysville, about seven
miles from Smithfield. His troops met with
slight resistance during the day from the
enemy’s mounted pickets. This morning be
advanced his cavalry towards Smithfield,
six miles from Bunker Hill, where he met
' the. cavalry belonging to Hancock’s division.
Before reaching this point, the enemy was
found to be in very large force. The recon-
naissance here ended, its object being to as-
certain where the main body of the rebel
army was. There isno doubt but that the
rebel generals intend to give battle at or
near their present location. The indications
are that they will not have to wait long

THE ROUT OF THE REBELS IN THE SOUTH-
WEsT.-The complete rout of Price and Van
Dorn has evidently alarmed the rebels. The
Grenada Appeal of the 9th says the crisis of
Mississippi is now upon her. The enemy
(Unionists), emboldened by success, and
backed by 50,000 fresh troops now on the
line of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, who
can beconcentrafed at one point in sixty
hours, will be buried against them with ir-
resistible force. It‘furthcr says ifthe Union-
istcficct a, lodgment within lrcrborders, it will
be impossible to drive them out. It calls on
the State not to trust for safety in the Con-
federate Government, but to rally at 'ouéc
everv man in the State. In speaking of the
conditionof the rebel army, the Appeal says
,thcheart of every patriot will bleed as his

distress. ~ In heaven’s name, letjit not be a

~G‘The democrats in New York publish
a letter of Gen. Scott written a year and a
half ago. If their last President had followed
the advice of Gen. Scott, there might have
been three or four bangin 8; there would
have been no secession. c can think of
nothing cooler than for the party that elect-
ed and sustained Buchanan, with Floyd and
Cobb and Thompson, to charge the blame of
secession upon the party that denounced
these men in the begining as unfit for the
places in which the democrats placed them,
and that opposed them in the whole course
of theiradministration and in all those mea-
sures that were taken to pre are for secession
and to leave the country dc enceless before it.

,with about sixty men, one piece of Nim’s
battery, and a small ‘howitzer, took steamer
from New Orleans, on the 21st of September,
and ascended the river about sixty miles, in
search Of guerrillas and plunder. There was
some fighting, lots of people frightened, sev—
eral plantations visited, and a large amount
of property secured. The spoils amounted
to 23 horses, 50 head of cattle, 50 sheep, 12
calves, 54 hogshead of sugar, 250 barrels of
molasses, and 20,000 feet of lumber, besides
the contents of a country store, several shot-

E‘James M. Smith, originally from New
Hampshire, but more recently a resident for
seven years in the interior of North Carolina,
has just escaped by way of Newborn. He
states that the President’s proclamalion has
produced the greatest consternation among
the large slaveholders of that State. Num-
bers of them have united in petitioning the
Governor to use his influence to secure the
return home of the North, Carolina troops, to
protect the people from apprehended insur-
rections. The Governor has also been urged
to call a Convention, in order to restore the
State to the Union before the first of January.
It is thought the nature of the proclamation
will soon be understood by all the slaves.
Mr. Smith asserts that the intelligent non-
slaveholders rejoice in the proclamation as
likely to benefit them greatly by dignifying
labor.

ed at Jackson, Tenn. It is constructed upon
a platform'car thirty feet long by eight wide.
Thesides and ends are of two and a half inch
oak plank, upon which boiler iron is riveted.
The sides lean inward sufficient to glance a
ball upward; one end is perpendicular, and
the Other pitched to a sharp angle. In the
centre of the car is the circle upon which the
gun-carriage revolves, and the whole ar-
rangements of the gun are designed with
reference to counteracting the recoil at the
firing. A six inch James rifle cannon is
mounted so as to sweep in every direction,

Resolced, That in the removal of our com-
rade from this world, we submissively reco -
nize the chastening hand of a just and A5-

The 13th and 9th Connecticut
Regiments.
The New Orleans correspondent of the
New York Times, writing from that city Sept.
30th, makes the following mention of two
Connecticutrcgiments there:
The twenty-sixth Massachusetts regiment
Col. Farr, which has for some two months
occupied Lafayette square, leaves to day for
the Custom ouse, to take the place of the
Thirteenth Connecticut, which is transferred
to the uper lines, of Camp Lewis. There
are no better regiments in this division than
the Massachusetts twenty-sixth and the Thir-
teenth Connecticut. The latter, under 'com-
mand of Col. Birge, has won great reputation,
not only for discipline, but also for neatness
of its soldiers. The Ninth Connecticut. Col.
Cahill, are to be our neighbors in Lafayette
square. This regiment marched down from
Carrolton esterday,and they looked veterans
indeed. here is something about soldiers
with the “war paint” that stirs the savage
within one in spite of himself. Upon the
Company flag of this regiment was worked
in gold letters “Baton Rogue ;” the name Of
its commander will be recognized as one of
the heroes of that well fought battle. Brig-
adier-General Arnold, formerly of Fort Pick-
ens, is now in command here, next to Gene-
ral Butler.

S‘Hon. Wm. H. Seward, in a late

snred that the President is looking for a
restoration of peace on no other basis
than that of the unconditional acquie-
vsence by the people of all the States, in
the constitutional authority of the Feder-
