Norwalk, Tuesday, Dec. 2, 1862.
Editorial Correspondence.
_ Wasniuoron, Nov. 29th, 1862.
‘ Mucawber, "waiting for something to turn
up,” is an entirely different exercise from
g hunting up aregiment that is on the move.
, As previously stated, the 15th and 19th were
quietly quartered just back of Alexandria.
The 2d Ct. Battery, although daily expect-
ing to move forward, are still on the Blad-
ensburg Road, but the whereabouts of our
own 'county Regiment, the 17th., was as hard
~"to fix as the precise location of Stonewall
» J ackson’s army. After various researches at
the War Department, at the City Post Ofiice,
the, I started with “passports" for Gaines-
rz'llc. Arriving at Alexandria, I found the
, cars had left, and it would be necessary to
" return and make an earlier advent on another
day. ”Upon the second trial, I found that
“the regiments had “moved" from Gaiusville,
and no one about the military road was equal
, - to the task of determining whither they had
'gone. So in imitation of the grand Poto-
' , mac Army, I retreated back upon Washing-
ton the second time, and left it to chance to
"de've10pe the whereabouts of our boys. Good
fortune _soOn supplied an ambulance ride to
the head quarters of the 27th., now at Fort
Ethcn Allen, some six miles from here,
' where I found the Norwalk “Monitor” boys,
_ who seemed mutually pleased at the unex-
pected 'viSit. It will be remembered that
from the last Company raised in Norwalk,
, James Ambler, E. T. Payne, Theodore Fitch,
Oliver S. Bishop, H. E. Wing, Wm. L. Bod-
~well, Oliver Nash, Jas. H. Disbrow, Chas.
E. White, H. M. Stanton, Joseph Wixon,J.
' T.,Brown, Allen P. Hubbell, Geo. Beatty,
Chas. Beatty, Wm. Nash, Geo. Kellogg, Hart
Benton, and H Hallett, were transferred to
Company C, and a nobler set of boys never
, . volunteered from any New England village.
These boys were all well and robust as so
‘ many interior farmers, with the exception of
. ,' 'Disbrow, who was at the Georgetown Hos-'
pital, and young White, Who seemed in a
condition not altogether unfit or unwilling
, to follow. I enjoyed the hospitalities of the
. .‘supper meal” with the Norwalk boys, and
spent a most agreeable evening with their
‘ efficient. and courteous Captain, quartering
for the night with the Quartermaster-Harri-
sOn, whilOm of the House Clerkship. Next
morning friend Harrison prepared us an
"ranibulance” conveyance and body-guard,
consisting of Bishop, Payne, and Ambler,
and we set out to hunt up the 17th“mit
Sigel.” About two miles distant, we found
' the 1st,, Ct. Cavalry, located ong‘Mary Hall’s
Farm,” and saw Cooly James of Wilton,
Weston Ferris of New Canaan, &c., Capt.
Middlebrook‘being ill and in the hospital.
' The 22d lay off about two miles to the right,
but we did not have the time to visit it.
"Passing on some four miles we found the
127111 N. Y., whereof our friend Woodford is
[dent-Col, now acting Colonel, stationed at
Upton’s Hill. Friend Woodford had been
seriously ill, was an inmate of Mr. Up-
inli‘s house. The same ready energy which
characterized him as 'a civilian seemed to
propel him with increased force and decision
as an officer. The day being pleasant, and
Woodford as anxious as the rest of us to see
his many friends in the 17th, and especially
desirous to make the acquaintance of the
fighting Dutchman,” Gen. Sigel, accom-
. panied us. The ruins had made fearful havoc
of the Virginia roads, yet with riding, walk-
ing, wading, and plunging through them, we
reached Fairfax Court House just before
dark. Here we left Woodford at the Head
Rum-tors of Gen. Sigel, (whom we found the
some quiet, unassuming yet earnest com-
mander.) his strength having been too far
exhausted by reason of his illness to proceed
further with us. After feeding "man and
beast,” and getting the route to the Regiment
mapped out by Gen. Sigel, We proceeded on
to “Chantily” the present camping ground of
the 17th. Had a rebel battallion been cap-
tured, it could not have been hailed with
greater delight, than the announcement of
the arrival of our little'party, among the boys
,of Companies A and F. With the exception
- of those named in our last, the Norwalk boys
are all well and in good spirits. Lieut. Wm.
Kelloggr still continues an invalid with the
Regiment, but being convinced that he can-
not recover while subject to the unavoidable
exposures of the. march and the camp, has
' tendered his resignation and may soon be ex-
pected home. The boys had just got com-
fortably quartered with their scanty “shelter
tens after a hard march from the frontier.
The story that they had been driven in, and
that two or three had been captured by the
rebels,doubtless had its origin in this retreat,
and the fact. that some of the boys getting
tired out, fell out and struggled behind. The
antler, Mr. Byxbee of South Norwalk, had
mthe misfortune to lose his large tent, which
uudOubtedly fell into the rebel hands, on ac-
count of the inability to forward it when the
‘ Regiment moved last. The Camp ground is
' bu a level plain, near the spot where the
brave and intrepid Kearney fell, and except
for the scarcity of wood and water, might
be deemed a very desirable location. There
‘ Es'Inuch annoyance experienced by the sol;
. iciers in consequence of the failure to receive
' packages forwarded them from home by the
variOus express Companies. Of course it is
. : utter] y impossible for these companies to fol-
,‘ low each regiment in the field, and unless a
lcttcris written advising of the sending of
I such parcels, that the soldier may send
in to the Washington office therefor, they
had better not be sent. A better way would
be to send all articles of light weight by mail,
as the mall-bag follows each and every regi-
. ment in all its winding ways. All in all, the
boys of" the 17th are as rugged, healthy, and
good natured a body of men as are to be
found in the Potomac Army. Of course
there is some complaining, but as “growling’v
is the soldiers only safety-valve, he should
not be denied that luxury.
We shared the hospitalities of Lieut.-Col.
Walter’s coverlet, in the Colonel’s tent, and
found the ground and» soldier’s blankets a
Very acceptable sleeping arrangement for our
wearied nature. _'
._ , We bid the boys adieu early in the morn-
ing, and after a brief halt at Gen. Sigel’s
head quarters at the Court House, and taking
friend Woodford on board again, started for
, the capital. ,
. It is not probable that our boys will re-
~ main in present quarters even so long as this
may take to reach you. Gen. Sigel has an
f‘eye” upon Jackson, and as it is now evident
~ that [the ubiquitous traitor is moving ‘down
as rapidly as possible towards Fredericks-
burgh, our own forces on the front will un-
doubtedly make such mov‘ents as will
keep them in reinforcing distance of Burn-
#m__r . . .-....._-..__ N
side. Still, all letters addressed plainly to the
Regiment, and sent to Washington, will find
them.
I went out to Emory Hospital, and in
Ward C, found George Buxton, of Norwalk,
and Frank Long, of Wilton. They are nei-
ther very ill, yet doubtless unfit for further
military service in the field. Our Photo-
graphic friend Whitney is still at Brady‘s
perpetuating the life and death scenes of this
war, and earning for himself, as be well de-
serves, “a local habitation and a name."
I must not omit totender-my gratefuf sense
of obligation to a fine quartette composed of ‘l
members of the 27th, who “honored” my ad-
vent there by a most delightful serenade.

A Candid Review.
On our outside will be found a calm and
dignified, yet thoroughly faithful and dispos-
siouate review of Gen. McClellan, from the
Cincinnati Gazette, whose editor has had
specially favorable opportunities for forming
a correct judgment of the military career of
the deposed General. The facts of history
are there made to stand forth prominently as
acomplete vindication of the summary ac.
tion of the President. No casuistry of de-
signing politicians and demagogues; no un-
reasoning twaddle and rigmarole of news-
paper editors and army correspondents, can
save him from a fair conviction of incompe-
tency and from an utter overthrow in pub-
iic estimation which the stern logic of the
,facts of history furnish to the country, in
which and by which it can read the story of
his campaigns.

Our County Agricultural Soci-
cty.
The annual meeting is to be held at Lucas
Hotel, South Norwalk, on Wednesday
next. Besides the, election of its yearly offi-
cers, the question ofpermunently localmgthe
Fairs at some central point in the county is
to be determined. Geographically, and in
every other respect, South Norwalk is un-
questionably the most desirable place, and
our friends there can well afford to bestir
themselves this week, in the selection of
suitable grounds, and present the free use of
the same to the Society so long as it will
Continue to hold its annual exhibitions there.
We hope to hear of such a proposition next
Wednesday.

Advance in Price of Newspapers
The publishers of newspapers all over the
country have increased the price of their pa-
pers. This is a necessity arising from the
enormous advance in the price of printing
paper. The N. Y. Evening Post announces
that from and after to-day its retail price will
be advanced to four cents and its subscription
to $10 per year, and all the other New York
Dailies must necessarily advance their rates
to an equal ratio, as soon as their present
contracts for paper run out. It is said that
one of thorn is now losing $3,000 a week by
selling at 2 cents a copy. Nearly all of the
New York papers sell at a loss, but such is
the competition and jealousy one for anoth-
er, that the price cannot bc raised without a
general movement. It is said that one of the
dailies has a contract for paper at the old pri-
ces, which does not expire till the lat of J an-
uary, and will not consent to an increase in
the mean time. .
There will necessarily be a corresponding
advance in the price of the weekly papers,
and persons would do well to subscribe and
pay their subscriptions at once for such as
they intend to take.
We learn that our worthy P. M. is now
making up clubs for the various daily and
weekly papers taken hereabouts, with a view
to forestall this unavoidable advance and we
advise all interested to “hand in the change”
i
without delay. '

Westport, the members of Capt. Burr‘s Com-
pany are soon to receive fresh and substan-
tial proofs that they are remembered al-
though far away from their homes. We un-
derstand a messenger is about to be dis-
patched to the camp in Virginia of the 17th
Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteers, to
distribute among the members of Capt. Burr’s
Company the sum of $1,160. This fund has
been made up by eleven citizens of the pa-
triotic town of Wéstport. The contributors
are as follows :—
Morris Ketchum, $300 00 .
Mary Fitch Winslow, 200 00
John Cleaveland, 150 00
D. M. Marvin, 100 00
Horace Staples, 100 00
Bleecker Oothout, 100 00

Ann Augusta Burritt, 50 00
S. R-Saxton, 50 00
H. A. Osgood, 10 00
$1,160 00
How this sum of $1,160 will gladden the
hearts of the Westport men, who have left
their homes, their wives and children, in the
service of their country. How grateful must
this token of remembrance be to these brave
fellows, forming a part of the Reserve Force
under Maj.-Gen. Sigel, especially if the sub-
stantial present reaches them on or before
the day appointed by the Governor of their
own State for a day of Public Thanksgiving-
Will not eleven or more citizens Of other
towns in like manner remember the volun-
teers who have gone out from them, particu-
larly at this time, just as the winter is com-
ing on? God grant that many, very many
of the good people of this Ssate will, out of
their abundance, contribute to the comfort of
the soldiers of the State of Connecticut now
in the service of the United States. What
sacrifices they have made for those who re-
main at home! Shall we make no sacrifices
for them ?

Save Your Bags.
When peddlers paid a cent and a half a
pound, and that too in tinware,for paperlrags
there was little inducement for the house-
keeper to save her scraps of cloth—But
times have changed, and rugs are now worth
at least five times as much in cash—Every
prudent housekeeper should now save her
rags, and even old newspapers, which have
heretOfore been used for kindling. The lat-
ter will readily sell for four acute and a half
a pound. Every scrap of white paper should
be carefully saved, for the increase in the
price of paper affects every one who reads or
writes. An enormous saving in the con-
sumption of paper could be effected and the
price materially reduced, if the masses of the
their letters when not written upon. Save
your paper and your rags for your own, rath-
er than the printer’s benefit. '

Tun ADVANCE IN THE PRICE or N nwsm-
PEBS.—In Boston the advance takes effect
on the lst of December. The Journal, Trav-
,eller,-and Transcript, heretofore sold for tw0
cents each, are to be sold at three cents, and
the price to newsdc'alers is raised from $1,
50 per 100 to $2,25 ; while subscribers by the
year Will be charged $8, instead of $6 for the
Journal and Traveller, and $7, instead of
$5, for the Transcript. The Herald hereto-
fore one cent, is. to be two cents hereafter,
and $5, instead of $3, per year, and the whole
sale price is raised from 60c per hundred to
$1.25. The larger papers, the Advertiser,
Post, and Courier, will probably reduce their
size to that of‘ the Journal and Traveller,
and adopt their scale of prices, which is about
1those at which they have heretofore been
sold. For their weekly issues, the Boston
papers are to advance to $2 per single copies
for one year, and $1.50 each in the clubs of
ten and over. Heretofore, thay have sold in
clubs at $1 each. -
From North Carolina.
The following exceris we take from a
_ a 1
private letterjust rCClth'fl front a young .
, soldier in the 44th Mass. Regiment, now
at Newbern, N. C._, and which participa-
ted in Gen Foster’s late expedition to
i 'I‘arboro’. . The letterwas hurriedly writ.-
ten, and was not intended for publication,
but We take the liberty of copying the
following extracts, which are of general
interest. The 44th is a nine months reg-
iment, and the writer of the letter was a
clerk in a Boston House a month before
taking part in the expedition—Ens]
annan, N.C., Nov. 21.
We are relieved this morn-
ing from drill, but have received orders
to clear out our bunks thoroughly, and
wash the floor of our barracks. .The 44th
with the exception of one company, (who
are still in tents,) are quartered in nice
barracks Each company is separated
by a board partition. The 23d regiment
with other troops, are quartered in de-
serted houses, some of which are lighted
by “ Gus,” while still other regiments are
in tents. _
In regard to the Proclamation it is
hard for me to form an opinion as to
what effect it will have upon the rebels,
for I do not have the chance of judging.
But it seems to me that it will only make
a more decided issue for us to fight on.
I hope the war will be ended before J an-
uary, but the show for it looks rather
poor, as the rebels are in earnest, and
desperate too.
I will now give you a sketch of our
trip from Boston, and that hard march.
We left our barracks at Readville, on
Wednesday, Oct. 22d, a beautiful morn-
ing, and proceeded in passenger cars to
Boston, when we marched on to the Com
mou, going through a few movements;
after which we wheeled into platoons and
bad the privilege Of receiving our friends
for half an hour. We then marched to
battery wharf, where we embarked on the
Steamship Merrimac ;.also the 3d and
5th regiments on the Mississippi, part of
the 3d going with us, making our number
about fifteen hundred. So large a num-
her on one ship, made it necessary to
pack us closer than was agreeable ; so
much so that at night when all were in
their bunks we could not bend ourselves
without interfering with our neighbor.——
I tell you what, I thought it was simme-
ful to crowd men as we were, in the hold
of a vessel which .had very little light or
air ; at times we were almost smothered.
We left -the harbor Thursday morning.
The trip was very pleasant, the sea was
very calm, and the weather beautiful, un-
til Saturday afternoon and night, when it
rained. Next morning, Sunday, in sight
of the blockading squadron off Beaufort,
run up the union jack, when two pilots
came alongside, one boarding'us and the
other the Mississippi, and piloted us into
the harbor. We reached the wharf at
Moorehead City, opposite Beaufort, about
10 o’clock, when it again commenced to
rain, raining very hard most all day and
evening. The 44th disembarked, and
went on open freight cars, reaching this
place wet through. The 3d and 5th dis-
embarked next morning, under more
pleasant circumstances, the weather being
cool and pleasant.
I did not come with the regiment, but
was, with others, left behind to unload
the vessel of our stores and then reload
them on the cars. I never worked so
hard on a Sunday before. On the other
days we had some contrabands to help,
making it easier for us. Well, I reached
the camp on Tuesday night, and had the
next day for rest, when I" washed and
made a change of clothing,—as would
seem for the purpose of a march, for just
after dinner the cooks were told to cook
five day’s rations. It was a surprise to
us all, for we could not believe that we
were going ofl’ so soon. So of course it
caused a good deal of talk. In the after-
noon received cartridge boxes and forty
rounds of cartridges, with caps.
Thursday the Expedition started on its
journey, being three brigades combined,
composed of artillery, infantry and caval-
ry. The 2d and 3d brigades were taken
lin transports to Washington, NC, which
we reached next day. The lst marched
by land, with the artillery, cavalry and
baggage trains ; they came up with us on
Saturday.
**>l<
Sunday morning early the whole Expe-
dition took up the line of march ; the 2d
brigade being the advance, while the 3rd
New York cavalry were thrown out as
pickets and skirmishers ; several pieces of
artillery Were also ahead. The second
brigade was composed as follows : first,
about 300 of the, 10th Conn., then about
the same of the 5th Rhode Island, then
the 44th with about 800, and the 24th
Muss. about 500 strong. We marched
about eighteen miles when the advance
came upon the rebels in some force, on-
trenched in the rear of some woods. It
was now near sunset, when our artillery
Opened on them, volley after volley. Be-
fore this, however, two companies Of the
10th Conn. acted as-skirmishers, then the
artillery commenced, and then three com
panies of the 44th filed past the 10th into
the woods, delivering several vollies ; one
company (E.) captured three prisoners,
and lost one killed, us did CO. II. also,
and there were scwral wounded While
this was going on, the other companies
were back some distance laying still, and
we heard the firing very plainly. Soon
we were ordered forward, (it was now
quite dark, although a moonlight night,)
passing through a creek about up to our
hips, when u halt was made just as 00. D
had got into it, where We stood for forty-
five minutes, shivering and shaking from
its coldness, silently listening to the mu-
sic of bubs and bullets passing over and
near us, buzzing and whizziug in a man-
ucr not pleaSan-t. It was something new.
Then we advanced again on a road which
led through the woods, halting and ad-
vancing very often, when we were sud-
denly fired upon, (the firing having ceusv
ed before for some time,) but we could
not see where it came from, except by the
Q
flash of their guns ; we were ordered to
lie down, which probably saved us, be-
cause our :2 l Ijlfflllv . who remained stand-
ing, was slightly wounded, and had nine
holes made through his coat. ii *
This fighting in the night is a poor
way. The rebels skedutldled about mill-
night. After that sudden volley we had
the order to right about, when we retreat-
ed under cover of the Artillery, which
was in a new position, and sending its
compliments of ball and shell in a lively
manner, that set the rascals to running.
About 1 o’clock we lay down for the
night, in our wet clothes, and without any
camp fires, having our rubber blankets
wrapt around us. In the morning resu-
med the march, marching every day, un-
til Wednesday night near 12 o’clock,
when we made a halt about 14 miles from
Tarboro’, when it commenced raining.
We were now very much fatigued, and
could hardly draw one leg before the oth-
er, and there were not many who did not
have sore feet. That night I got some
rails on which I slept quite comfortably,
with only a Iubbcr blanket over me, while
it rained all night
The next morning we expected to see
some fighting, but it proved otherwise,
for instead of having a battle we commen-
ced our retreat, through mud, rain and
swamps, marching about 17 miles to
Hamilton, where we quartered in the de-
serted houses until Friday morning, when
we marched (it snowing all day,) to Wil-
liamstou, about 13 miles. Here we re-
mained until the next Sunday morning,
quartered in the deserted stores and hous-
es. Sunday we marched about 18 miles,
and Monday 4 miles more, when we halt-
ed just outside the town of Plymouth.
Tuesday morning we took Transports and
arrived at this place Thursday morning.
And you may rest assured we were glad
to get back again, after having marched
over a hundred miles.
The country through which we passed
was one vast wilderness of woods and
swamps, and vbry level, consequently the
roads were very bad. The mud is differ-
ent from that at home, being almost like
sealing-wax. As for the towns they did
not amount to much, and are far and
wide apart, while the space between is
thinly inhabited. I saw but a few whites,
and they were a sulky looking set ; I do
not recollect of seeing one pretty woman.
Our company has organized a Debuting
Club, which is now in session discussing
the “ Proclamation.” Yours, &c. I.

He has constantly, from the very begin-
ning, urged greater vigo and boldness in
the prosecution of the War. He has fa-
vored the appointment of fighting gene-
rals to important commands and has coun-
selled a bold policy towards foreign gov-

THE NORTHERN EI.nC'rons.—'l‘hc Rich-
mond Whig, (Noyember 8] speaking of
the recent Northern elections, says :
They show plainly that the title sets all
one way, and that. against Abraham
Lincoln and his rampant war party. If
the electiouecriug asset-rations and appeals
of this party could be credited, the suc-
cess of the Democrats is about equal to a
declaration of peace. But they are not
to be credited, and we are not -permit-
ted to take that comfort to our bosoms.
We have reasons to hope, though, that
with a Democratic Congress and a Re-
publican administration, regarding each
other as men who inure doubt but that to-
morrow they may be clllllt..l :-:!(’ll othcr's
throats, the War will not be wt. forward
any. As Lincoln and his pm Iy brought.
on the war, and have contluutml it them-
selves, the people have mount by this re-
markable revolution to declare, not only
a deep dissatisfaction, but to decree that
important changes shall be made ; and
having found out their strength, and hav-
ing less fear of the lustilt- before their
eyes, We may expect that the Opposition
will now speak their sentiments with a
bol‘tlncs they have not dart-d to venture
before.

(DBI'I‘UARY.
Our citizens are all familiar with the pecu-
liurly distressing circumstances attending lllu
death oers. llr. l’ztrtlcc. The following- Well
merited tribute has been handed us for pub-
lication :— ~
A month has almost elapsed since the gen-
tlc spirit sunk to rest, yet I can scarce real-
ize the melancholy fact that she has indeed
gone from us forever, so sudden was she
called away. A year ago and a little more,
she left us a happy bride; and when I think
of her endeared associations, her prospects
of earthly happiness and usefulness, I feel
that death was indeed cruel in his selections,
—cruel to crush so suddenly such fond hopes
and anticipated joys. Our departed friend
was amiable and lovely, and uniformly cheer-
ful and happy in her disposition; her pres-
ence always imparted a joy wherever she
moved. She was a bright star ‘in the hori-
zon of her own family, emitting a pure and
pleasant light which grew purer and brighter
until it melted away into the light of Heaven.
She sustained the endearing relations of who
daughter sister and friend, with great affec-
tion fidelity and usefulness. She loved her
friends with a warm and generous attach-
ment, and was sincerely loved in return.—
Intelligent and dignified, the world gav'e her
its respect, while her virtues and goodness
won her many friends. If at times she felt
the chastcning hand of sorrow, it was borne
so meekly and patiently, that shtlbecame
only more beautiful in her after joy.
Husband, parents, sisters, brothers, friends,
moprn not that the blow has fallen thus; :11-
though she has been stricken in the bloom of
youth, she has passed to a brighter state of
existence, where we trust she now exults;
and when a few fleet, sorrowmg years have
flown, she will meet thee at Heaven’s gate and
lead thee on.
So early called and suddenly,
Thou loved, thou cherished one,
Borne from us in a few brief hours,
Thy pilgrimage and duty done.
Oh death ! t’was cruel thus to blight
A flower so fair by thy rude touch;
To still the heart and steal the breath
Of one so pure and loved so much.
I-Icr’s was a firm and faithful heart,
On which to lean in weal and woe;
To all sweet hope and comfort brought,
To cheer them on while here below.
She was our star, our guiding star,
That shed around the darkest night
A ray of calm and peaceful joy—~
A halo of eternal light.
Pure spirit born for realms on high,
I love to scan thy memory o’er,
And though from earth you’ve passed away,
Thy name shall ever be adored.
