The Bepulse of Burnside.
The saddening efi'ect consequent upon the
withdrawalofour entire army from in front
of the enemy, to this side of the Rappahan-
nock, still continues the engrossing topic, as
does the heroic valor of our troops on that
slaughter field. Never was death, seeming-
ly more eagerly welcomed than by those who
charged up to the very mouths Ofthe ene-
my’s cannon, to be mowed down like grass,
by thousands.
0f who is to blame, or whether another
fearful “ blunder” has been perpetrated we
prefer to leave others to discuss. It is enough
for us to know that our soldiers fought like
vctcransthat we were repulsed—that our.
flag wears a deeper hue of red from the blood
of twelve thousand noble braves who in very
mockery of death, gave their lives to their
country and their flag. Surely such devotion
which shall for all coming time, “inspire the
orator and poet,” cannot have been all in
, vain. God in infinite mercy saveour bleed-
ingland and heal and comfort the desolate,
broken hearts of those who mourn over those
‘ who are not.”

From the 27th Regiment.
A letter from a member of CO. D, 27th C.
V., says the New Haven Journal, states that
“the regiment was cut up terribly. Nearly
all the line officers are cut up.” The letter
is written by Ellsworth Smith, 2d Lieut. of
Co. D, who is slightly wounded. as is also
Frank, his brother, 1st Lieut. of the same
Company. Ellsworth writes that their friends
need not be worried about them, as their
wounds are slight, and that they are well
cared for.
Dr. E. T. Payne is reported to be at the
Hospital at Fort Schuyler, N. Y. harbor, sc-
riously ill, and consequently was not in the
fight
icy, from Hon. ' J. E. English, stating thatit
was reported in Washington, that Sergeant
Richard H. Fowler, [Brother of Capt. D.
Fowler of the 17th,] had died while on his way
from the battle-field to Aquia Creek.
W The following explicit letter from.

permitted to publish, shows that Nomalk

Mr Dean Mornux :-Last Wednesday afternoon,
there was an order made on our Reg‘t for fishnet! ,
out Of each Company for Picket duty, somewhere
near Falmouth; so in our Company it took neg-by 7
all the Nortvaik Boys. The next morning are bsl-,.
once of the Reg’t was ordered to Fredericksbu'rghi'to'
battle with the rebels. I was with them,,so was,
Danton, but Wixson and Hallctt were with the pick-,
cts. Thursday and- Friday the fighting was by the;
artillery, but Saturday came the slaughter. The
Rebels were situated on. the top of a hill;"8t nae.
back of the city, strongly entrenched, so gangsta
could only once in. awhile see a rebel head,,\t:_ltjl¢.
they had full command of the hill with theirbattgjf.-
ice and musketry, and every charge we mndc‘fu'fi the,
hill. we ‘verc mowed down like grass. I wits‘filé
first one in. our Company that fell—slightly wo'un‘d-
cd in the leg. I hear that Demon is safe. ‘3 tme's
Ambler is shot through the leg. Wing lost tivo fln_
gers and thumb. Wilber Nash is missing?- Our
Capt. is shot in leg. Lieut.. Brooks ball through the
shoulder. It is well that most of our Norwalk Boys:
were on other duty, for every one almost who at-
tempted to go up that. hill was either killed or
wounded. * * , ’5 Sunday there was
' nothing done, and Monday the Surgeon told netball
all who were able towalk had better cross the river.
350 a number of us started; it was the slow'ett jouro
ney I ever made. I hobbled nearly three miles, and
am now in a temporary hospital, as comfortable as
can be. * * It is reported, this morning, that our
troops have all comeacross the river; I suppose it
is the intention to make another attack in some
other quarter. It is no use to waste life by charging
batteries with musketry. * * H. S.

tion of Washington D. C. have issued anoth-
er appeal to the citizens of this State for aid
in carrying forward their noble work of re-
lieving the wants and distress of such Ct.
soldiers as may be reached from the capital.
as we have so recently noticed their circular,
we simply remind our people that the recent
terrible conflict of arms at Fredericksburg
has fearfully augmented the demands upon
this humane association and that the dona-
tions of money, goods or hospital stores, are
urgently requested to be forwarded at once,
to H A. Burr, Treasurer, or Rear Admiral
Foote, President, Washington, D. C. Clergy-
men are specially urged to take collections

Mus. HALLIBURTON'S TROUBLES. By Mrs.
Henr Wood, author of “East Lynne; or,
The arl’s Daughter,” the. New York:
.Dz'cktthtzgemld. Price 50 cts. sent by
mail postage-paid. For sale by A. H
Camp, Norwalk.
Few books by Mrs. Wood may not be cull-
ed highly moral in their tendency ; none
that we have seen are ccnsurable for an im-
proper tonc; but this work is peculiar in some
respects. The various strata of society is an
English manufacturing town are very prof-
itable objects Ofstudy, but extract from them
a story of such deep interest, strong pathos,
and pure tone, required a writer who was a
master of the science of authocraft. Apart
from the pure type of widowed motherhood
in Mrs. Halliburton, the authoress has pre-
sented us with a series of characters who
walk, eat, and in all respects act as human
beings do when placed under similar circum-
stances—reproduction Of human nature, and
not impossible monsters. The bank is clov-
er and delightful.

A Case of Manly Integrity.
Bro. Clarke of the Winsted Herald, gave
an order Sept. 27th for 60 reams Of paper at
10cts per lb. which was accepted, but of
which only about onehalf had been deliver-
ed. When we met him the other day at the
Editorial Convention, he was fearful lest in
consequence Of the unprecedented rise in the
price Of paper, the manufacturers would
trump up some excuse, to escape fulfilling
their contract. _' It seems by the following
letter, however, that he was dealing with
honest men, whose word and business in-
tegrity were more highly prized than the
gain Of a few dollars, and as we happen to be
almost precisely situated with our own pa-
per folks, we commend the honorable con-
duct Of the Messrs. Buckland as worthy of
their imitation.—
POQUONNOCK, 012., Dec. 13, 1862.
Mr. CLARKE, Sun—We shall send you
some paper Monday: will send enough
to make 50 to 60 reams as per order
Sept. 27th. It is rather steep dowu hill
business to make paper at 10 etc. Our
stock costs 10 etc. in the rough that we
formerly bought at 3 cts. We are -gat-
ting 20 cts. and tax, cash, Can’t you
afford to be mercifulrto the paper-maker

MEMORIAL.
At a Convention of the Editors and
Publishers Of Connecticut, held in New
Haven, on the 16th day Of December, the
following memorial was unanimously
adopted :
Wannaas, The price of printing paper in
this country has risen to a price nearly
ruinous to the business—and whereas
the duty on foreign papers, amounting
to prohibition, of course, yields no rev-
enue to the national treasury—there-
fore,
This Association respectfully petitions
the Senate and House of Representatives
in Congress assembled, to take this
subject into consideration, and to relieve
us by abolishing all duties on printing pa-
per. And further, that Congress modify
the onerous taxes upon newspapers, which
as constructed by government Officers,
are, in the opinion of this Association,
much higher than Congress intended them
to be ; embracing, as they do, a tax of 3
per cent. on paper, 3 per cent. on ndver-'
tisements over $1,000, a tax on income,
a dealer’s tax, a tax on ink, and a tax 9n
type—win the aggregate amounting to a.
greater but-then than is imposed upon oth-
er kinds of business.
Resolved, That our Senators and Mem-
bers of Congress from this State be re~
quested to advocate the amendment Of
the present tariff, so as to admit foreign
paper free of duty,
Resolved, That a copy W
ceedings he sent to each of our Senators
and Representatives, signed by the offi-
‘cers Of this Convention.
The following resolution was offered
by Mr. Cooke, the President, and adopt~
ed unanimously :—
Rcsolved, That the extraordinary ad-
vance in white printing-paper renders an
advance in the rates, both of subscrip-
tions and advertisements, indispensable in
order to cover expenses. ,
The folloiwng Were also adopted :—
Resolved, That in publishing notices
of marriages, births, and deaths, obituary
poetry, resolutions of companies and as-
sociations, notices of new inventions, etc.
pay be required by the Press in this State.
Resolved, That a Committee be ap
pointed to communicate with the editors
of New England concerning the matter
of an independent Associated Press, to
co-Operate with the Western Press Asso-
ciation, now in coarse of formation, and
report at a future meeting.
Messrs. Fuller and Byington were ap-
pointed such committee.
An invitation was extended to the Con-
vention to visit the U. S. Hospital in
New Haven, which was accepted.
A letter was read from the Hartford
Evening Press, regretting their inability
to send a representative to the Convention
and presuming that they would not dis-
sent from the measures which might be
adopted.
The New Haven editors extended an
invitation tO the members present to par-
take Of the hospitalities of the Tontine
Hotel, which invitation was accepted.
The President was authorized to issue
his call for a future meeting, should the
members of the association deem it advis-
able.
After the passage of a resolution re-
questing the various newspapers to give
publicity to the doings of the meeting the
Convention adjourned sine die

I have the honor to inform you that 1
left Newborn for this place on the 11th
instant, but owing to the bad roads and
consequent delays to my trains, &e., I did
not reach South~West Creek, live miles
from this town, until the afternoon of the
13th inst. The enemy Were posted there,
but by a heavy artillery fire in front and
a vigorous infantry attack on either flank,
I succeeded in forcing a passage and with-
out much loss. ‘ ' '
This morning I advanced on this town
and found the enemy strongly posted at a
defile‘through a marsh bordering on a
creek. The position was so 'well chosen
that very little of our artillery could be
brought in play. The main attack, there-
fore, was made by the infantry, assisted
by a few guns pushed forward in the roads.
After a five-honrs’ hard fight we succeed-
ed in driving the enemy from their posi-
tion. We followed them rapidly to the
river. The bridge over the Neuse at this
point was prepared for firing, and was
fired in six places; but we were so close
behind them that we saved the bridge.
The enemy retreated precipitately by
the Goldsboro' and Pikesville roads.
Their force was about 6,000 men, with
20 pieces Of artillery.
The result is we. have taken Kinston,
captured 11 pieces of artillery, taken 400
to 500 prisoners, and found a large
amount of quartcrmaster,s stores and
commissary stores. Our loss will prob-
ably not excited 200 killed and wounded.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in an-
swer to a resolution of the House Of Rep-
resentatives, has sent a communication to
Speaker Grow, in which he states that the
requisitions of the Secretary of War for
the payment of troops, have always been
promptly met at the Treasury, when an
absolute want of means did not prevent.
He. says the 1st of, July last, the sum of
$66,554,281 has been paid on such req-
uisitions as follows:—for bounties on on-
listment, $7,500,000, recruiting, collect-
ing, drilling, and organizing troops, $10,-
172,360,“ ; ordinary pay, $48,881,921:
23. The amount Of requisitions are about
equal to the amount required for pay du-
ring One bi~monthly period.
In his annual report he has laid before
Congress the measure which 'in his judg-
ment will enable him to provide for the
estimated demands of the public service.
If,iu his judgment he is fortunate enough
to have their concurrence, he entertains
the hope that all grounds of complaint,
because of delays of payment, may be
soon removed.

Sketch of General Bayard.
Brigadier General George D. Bayard,
the gallant Cavalry Officer of Burnside’s
army, has been killed. He was a native
of New York, and was appointed a cadet
to the Westpoint Military Academy in
1852. He graduated 'On the 30th Of
.Junc, 1856, and on the 1st of July, 1856
gust, 1861, he was promoted to a cap-
taincy Of his regiment, now known as the
4th United States cavalry. He was al-
lowed leave of absence to take command
of the 1st Pennsylvania. cavalry, and in
General Orders No. 63, Washington,
J one 10, he is announced as a. brigadier
general Of volunteers, cOmmanding caval-
ry. He has made several brilliant caval-
ry dashes, both before and since his ap-
pointment as general, and being but
a‘young man, gave promise Of great
military ability in the future. His loss
will be much regretted by his command.
He is said to have been betrothed to a
lovely young lady. General Bayard was
wounded in the face by a poisoned arrow
by Indians on the frontier, frOm the ef-
fects of which he had never recovered,
and which his physicians predicted would
ultimately cause his death. He often ex-
pressed a determination never to die from
that cause if he could die in the battles
of his country. He has met the fate and
secured the fame he coveted.

The New Navy Yard.
The majority report upon the selection
ofn site for a navy yard and naval de-
pot, signed by Rear Admiral Stringham,
Corn. Gardner, Com. Van Brunt, and
Engineer Sagner, makes choiceof New
London in preference to League Island,
Narragansett Bay being objectionable on
account of logs. It claims for New
London superiority in the case of access,
obstructions from drift and running ice,
safe anchorage, adaptation to construc-
tion of dry docks, grading or filling site,
range of tides, rapidity Of' currents and
healthfulncss of location. The report
make League Island and New London
equal in facility for providing workmen
and supplies, cost of the site, security
against. attack, depth of water, and sup-
ply of fresh water, and gives League Is-
land superiority in the facility of obtain-
ing coal and iron, and fresh water better
for preserving the bottoms of vessels.
The minority report of Prof. Roche
and Lieut. Commanding Thomas S.
Phelps, gives League Island the prefer-
ence in defensibility against exposure to
violent winds, and Of anchorage, prepar-
ation of site, facility for procuring sup-
plies, and deferring to New London on
only two points, namely, health and ex-
posurc to ice.

and asection of artillery, to this point
for the purpose Of dispersing them. Ar-
riving there, Capt. Ives found the enemy
in plain sight, not more than an eighth
of a mile distant, their battery in full
view, and the infantry showing them-
selves on the outside O.‘ the works with
apparent impunity. ’I‘he section under
the command of Lieutenant Beecher, of
the Fourth United States artillery, now
commenc a gelling, fire, under the cov-
er of w h a company of the Fifty-
eighth Pennsylvania deployed as skir-
mishers to the banks of the river for the
purpose of picking Off the enemy’s artil-
lery-men on the Opposite side. Three
shots silenced the. rebel battery, undo
dozen more destroyed the fortifications
and drove the enemy away, they taking
with them a large gun which had been
mounted on a truck and run from place
to place upon the railroad track, and
.which they fired very rapidly, doing,
however, but little execution, Tae par
ty under Captain Ives now returned to
the main body, where the firing had been
going On for three or four hours, driving
the enemy back so effectually that three
companies Of the Thirteenth Indiana
crossed the Blacktvntcr in the pontoon
boats. Col. Dodge also crossed over in
the face of a large force of the enemy,
who had doubtless been attracted by the
firing, and had arrived to reinforce their
comrades, having as we supposed, reached
the place in the cars from Wakefield.
As the expediton was partially a diver-
sion in favor Of other and more impor-
. taut military movements by our forces,
and as Gen. Ferry had received orders
to be particularly cautious no: to bring
on an engagement, our men were recalled
from the Opposite side, and returned with
a captain and tWelve men whom they had
captured. The whole now made prep-
arations to retrace their steps, and at
half-past ten o’clock this morning the last
Of‘ the column passed through Suffolk on

MISSION or J arr. DAVIS—In his ad-
dress to the rebel soldiers at Murfreesto
ro, Tenth, Jeff Davis said that the criti-
cal moment in the history of the confed-
erncy had arrived and he relied upon
their valor and patriotism to sustain her
now more stronger than ever before. He
said he had left the. issue in Virginia in
the hands of that able Gen. Robert E.
Lee, which was the best he could do. In
the southwest his presence was most need-
ed now. It is said that Davis is going
to concentrate all of his troops on the
west bank of the MiSSissippi for a desper-
ate struggle. He is going to Arkansas
to see Gens. Hiudman and Holmes.

A Soldiers View
Gen. Stanley, who commands a divi-
sion of that heroic army at Corinth, Miss.
which recently inflicted on a far larger
force of Rebels the mos. stunning defeat
of the war, recently made a speech to
his soldiers, wherein he said :
“Rementber that we are solving with
our hayonets one of the great questions
of ltistory-—thc denomination of caste;
the question whether a cruel oligarclty,
which, forgetful of that simple and sub-
lime command of our Savior, ‘Love thy
neighbor as thyself,’ claims the right to
live upon the unrequitablc labor of their
neighbors, shall rule and dictate the ties-
tinies of our country.”

An Eloquent Picture.-
When the Union trOOps abandoned
Baton Rogue, the capital of Lousiana,
they carried away with them the statute
Of Washington, the library of the State,
and the portraits of all the. ex presidents
which adorned the splendid building in
which the Legislature of betrayed Louisi-
ana had held its sessions—all the portraits
except that of the ExPresident James
Buchanan. That was left solitary and
alone on the walls of the deserted edifice.
Whe'n the gunboats Esscxs, Scioto, and
Kimeo visited Baton Rouge late in Octo-
ber they found it deserted and in ruins ;
but on the walls of tltc capital building
was the picture Of Err-President Buchan-
nau where it had been left, defaced and
disfigured by the followers Of John C.
Breckenbridge, who temporarily occu-
pied lhe town after the withdrawal Of the
Union army.

LOUISIANA AND EMANCIPA’PIOH.—-An in-
telligent Officer of the navy, reared in the
Democratic faith, and when on shore had
always voted the Democratic ticket,
writes from New Orleans under date of
the 30th of October, as follows : “ Seces-
sia down here is at a low ebb ever since
the emancipation proclamation. That
struck her to the heart, and she now lies
bleeding. Slavery dies and the Uniou
stands.”Such words as these from a keen
and intelligent observer are a thousand
times more weighty than the transient
theories and silly predictions of politicians,
whose love for the republic is secondary
to their love for slavery, and who, while
revelling in the blessings conferred by the
one, are cmulous of preserving the calam-
ities inflicted by the other.

cult circumstances in which he is placed

0ppressive Taxation-
Commissioner Boutwell, of the internal
Revenue, has, by recent decision, placed
another burden upon an already over-
taxed class Of citizens. His decision clas-
ses newspaper publishers as liable to as-
sessment as dealers, and if sales are made
to others who buy to sell again, they are
then placed in the wholesale dealers list
Laws and decisions that place a ban
upon intelligence, and cause the burdens
Of taxation to, fall so heavily upon the
dessiminators, are odious in the extreme,
not only to the immediate subjects” but
to the people at large, upon whom the
weight must in a greater or less ratio fall.
We trust that the present Congress will
see the injustice of the present law,and
apply a remedy. The pride and boast Of
a free country—the diffusion of intelli-
gence among all classes—cannot be more
efi'ectualy “ blotted out ” than by piling
such taxation upon reading as to make
it unprofitable, and even ruinous to all
engaged in its dissemination. An un-
luky day’ indeed, will have arrived for
this country when the wealthy classes
only can afford to Obtain a knowledge Of
passing events, while a. major 6853 shall
be subjected to all the inconveniences at-
tending npon ignorance. The wise states-
man will surely take counsel Of the genius
of our institutions, and hesitate long be-
fore lending a. hand to block the wheels
of progress, and blunt the intellects of
his countrymen by a deprivation of men

Indemnity Demanded of Great
Britain.
The following is taken from Mr. Sew-
ard’s note to Mr. Adams, dated Nov. 3,
1862 : ’ '
”The telegraph announces the destruc-
tion of another half-dozen American ves-
sels on the high seas by the steamer 290.
The President is obliged to regard these
destructions' at being made by British
sudjects in violation of the law of nations,
after repeated and ample notice, warning
and remonstranccs had been given by
you to the British Government. It is
presumed that you have already brought
the subject in that light to the notice of
Her Majesty’s Government. the legal
proofs in support of a claim for indemui.
ty will be collected and transmitted to
you as speedily as possible.”

THE PAY 18.30., OF DECEASED SOLDIERS.
—-—The Providence Journal rightly calls
attention to the fact, that soon after the
tidings come of the death of a soldier, his
relatives receive letters from a number of
men, each offering to collect for them the
pay due the soldier when he died and per-
haps also to obtain a pension. Not a
few regular “land sharks" are engaged in
this business, designing to prey upon the
innocent victims.
Families cannot be to careful on this
point. The State and Federal authorities
will take care of the business for them
when applied to gratuitously. In no case
should-a stranger, who begs for the work,
be employed. _
The above, which we cut from an ex-
change, suggest an evil which our gov-
ernment ought to remedy at once. The
business of the 2d Auditor,s department
at Washington is so much behind that
those entitled to the pay and beauty of
deceased soldiers are obliged to wait from
four to six months before receiving their
pay. In most instances they are needy
and in some cases suffering ; and the way
in which the business is conducted by gov-
ernment is the subject Of universal rcpro~
bation.

@The daily product of the wells

works in Saginaw, Mich, is not less than
two hundred barrels, worth, at the whole-
sale prices which ruled just before the
close of navigation, six thousand dollars.
Allowing 300 running days in a year, the
annual product, at this rate, would be
600,000 barrels, worth $1.800,000.. But
the product in a year to come will be
much more, from the fact that new
works are coming ittto operation.

stark in death on that gory field hrsoeforth
to be immortal in story and song, use. church
in the village, was eloquently illustrated the

a loving and a lovely daughter had died !—
Sudden andstartling as a thunder-bolt from

tall forest pine. came the crushing blow to
the stricken Parents and to all who knew and
loved her! Yet within that brief span of htt-
man existence, how angelic and holy the
record site leaves behind! Like the incense
of sweet flowers it must. gild even this bitter
cup with divinest consolation. The sad and
bitter memories which gush up from our
own heart, ever bid us pause, ere we invade
the sacredness of such a grief. Expression
too, more eloquent in sympathy than words
of ottrs, hath already been given; yet a life
so pure, a nature so lovely, with all the gra-
ces Of a refined intellectual culture, mingling
the simple charms of the school girl] with
the maturcr loveliness and dignity of new-

such a character should not be hidden orsup-
pressed, therefore, do we lay this our chap-
let, unworthy though it be, upon the new

Long years hence, when life’s shadow shall
have lengthened unto us all, in our journey-
