JANUARY 18th, 1863.
DEAR zenm,:—-I reached this point on
Saturday last, with my five boxes of “ home '
comforts”. for the 17th boys. A detachment,
consisting of. Captains Fowler and Lacy, and
Lieuts..McQuhae and Allen, Sergeant Loom-
is and. .Teamster Nowell, with ambulance
and armyzwagons were in waiting at the
steamboat landing, at Aquia, on my arrival
there, soithat I had very little anxiety or
trouble over the inland transportation of
myself or baggage. On arrival at camp, the
boxes were soon opened and the contents
distributed to the various owners, and a
moregleeful set of soldiers were not to be
found along the whole line on the Potomac.
Monday I strided the Chaplains horse, and
rode,"‘the divinity which shapes our ends,”
overto Falmouth, where I was most hospi-
tally entertained at Capt. Asbury Hill’s head
quarters, who now being chief commissary
of subsistence, takes pride and pleasure in
entertaining both. man and beast, (if from
Connecticut) in the most sumptuous manner.
As a specimen of his capacity to entertain, .way into the ‘forecasflt But two cars-
we will incidentally mention that the second.
night of our sojourn, we occupied his “ spare
bed” in the “ front parlor ” on the “ground
floor" which contained only seven beside
ourselves, viz: Capt. Hill, Capt..Wilcoxson,
Capt. Edgar Finney, Lieut..M.ead; Col. Wal.
lace‘s Clerk, Mr. Chatfield; Capt. Hills’
Clerk, Stephen Merrill ;; our Ridgefleld friend
F. A. Rockwell, and your correspondent.
At home this would be deemed nearly a bed
full, but here, quite the custom of the most
polished and refined circles. My only
objection to this enlarged view of things,
was the chronic tendency of the “kr'cer” to
grow too short just before morning, and the
difficulty of enforcing “ uniform movements
on the part of the sleepers, in turning over.”
N evertheless,we all slept soundly, and should
have done so, doubtless, had ten more Con-
necticut friends chanced that way.
During the afternoon of my first day at
Falmouth, I took Col. Noble’s glass and
coolly surveyed the rebel pickets,fortifications
&c., and the black and smouldering ruins of
buildings burned by our artillery fire. As
the river. in front of Fredericksburg is not
wider than Norwalk harbor, across from
Smith’s Pottery, and I could go down the
bank on the Falmouth side, the faces of the
rebel pickets could easily be discerned, and
frequent and amusing colloquies are carried
on between these soldiers and ours. Women
and children, and pigs were also plainly to
be seen moving about the city, but as in all
other secesh cities I have peered into, all the
men not bowed down with age and infirmity,
are in the army. The flag of truce boat
had just crossed, as I arrived.
:I got a copy of the Richmond Enquirer
of the same morning, and was much re-
freshed by the ingenuity and enormity of its
lying—fairly exceeding the palmiest days of
the Bridgeport Farmer.
I visited in turn, 00]. Harlan’s Brigade,
(comprising his old Regiment the 8th,) 11th,
15th and 16th Ct. Volunteers, the 2lst where
James'Barbour is acting assistant surgeon;
the 14th, Col. Dwight Morris’ regiment, and
the 27th, which so many of our Norwalk
boys honored by their heroic valor and
their blood. Olin Nash has already sent
heme his bullet-riddled cap, which I was
cOmmissioncd to secure.
.' Charles B. White, J r., received the special
commendation of his commander,for cool and
deliberate bravery and hard fighting, and at
the same time, had the good fortune to escape
injury. The Beatty boys, and in fact, all the
N orwalk “Monitor” boys are fleshed up and
looking remarkably contented and happy,
though. Wilbur Nash, I fear, is among the
slain.
Yesterday I returned again to this place,
and found that the earnest entreaty I made
the Adams Express Company, before I left
Washington,to send forward the vast amount
of freight belonging to the Connecticut regi-
ments, had been complied with, and one
hundred and three Express boxes were re-
ceived from Connecticut for the 17th regi-
'ment alone. Iwas told that over 40 tons of
freight in all, were shipped from Washington
' to Aquia Creek for the various Conn. regi.
" ments. and could the friends of our noble
boys only drop in and see the happy faces
these reminders of home cause all around,
the donations would be vastly more frequent.
Col. Noble is at present President or Pre-
siding Officer of the Corps CourtMartial,
and sits as dignified as any Judge, at this
.‘ famed County Seat, where for years, the
. pretentious paternals and hopeful scions of
the F. F. V’s. used to congregate, to mix
state affairs and corn whisky.
Lieut. Col. Walter is now in immediate
command of the regiment, and is proving
.. himself a most excellent and popular officer.
. , Major Brady is still absent on account of the
- serious wound upon his knee, received on
the battle-field of Chantilly, by a horse shoe ;
and Capt. Fowler, (who seems to be a special
favorite of the entire regiment) is the acting
Major. Capt. Wood has the confidence and
affection of his men, and is constantly mak-
ing every possible éffort to promote their

commander to the Greenwich boys. Capt.
Dunhum has the misfortune of a serious
malady, which I fear must very soon dc—
prive him of further exposure to the vicissi-
tudes of camp life. The Norwalk boys,
with few exceptions, are hearty, and robust,
and well, and seem able, ready and willing
to fulfill all the high hopes entertained of
them. It must prove a source of great com-
fort to anxious friends at home, to be assur-
ed (as I do not hesitate to do.) that the medi-
cal department of the 17th regiment is with-
out its rival in the service, and I very much
doubt if it is equaled in ability and efficiency
in any regiment which has left our State.
Messrs. Hoyt and Morehouse, of Darieu,
arrived late last evening and are now guests
of the StamfordCompany, Capt. Hobly.
I passed a pleasant half hour with Gen.
Sigel yesterday, and found him hopeful as
ever of final success. Gen. Carl Schurz
and Gen. Stahl, are also quartered immedi-
diately about the Missouri hero.
As I write, I have intimations of a
movement “ forward,” where it is more‘
than probable he may have a “ chance in."
I have no fears of the result, if any untrain-
meled action devolve upon him.
The blue birds were singing all day yes-
terday, and the week has been more like the
month of May than mid-winter. Last night
it rained hard, but this morning gives prom-
ise of clear and colder weather.
Impatiently awaiting the approaching bat-
tle, which all seem to snuff in the air, I am
in great haste. Yours, dire. B.

Death of Capt. \Vm. B. Greene.
In the list of noble men reported to have
been blown up with the gallant Commander
Renshaw, on board the gunboat Westfield,
at Galveston, we find the name of our old
friend WM. R. GREENE, so well known in
this community as Captain of the Steamer
Confidence. At the time of his death he held
the position of Engineer on board the West-
field. His wife and family reside in South
A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune
gives the following account of the explosion:
At length, only one dutter remained
er, loaded almost ito the water’s edge,
was at a little distance, and about to put
ofi’ to the Mary IA. Boardman? The
cutter awaited but its living freight, in
the shape of the Commodore and two oth-
ers : that obtained, a slow match was to
be ignited-and the steamer blown to air.
She had two magazines on board, and
was almost literally full of powder, shells
and ammunition. In another ten—in five
——minutes [all might have been secure,
and Commodore Renshaw and those ac-
cidentally hurried into eternity with him
living men at this hour. That was not to
be. Those who saw them last in this
world report as follows :
Commodore Renshaw stood quietly on the
fore part of the vessel above one of the
open powder magazines. Near him, a
barrel of turpentine, with its head stove
in, had been lowered down the hatch
men were in the cutter, with some eight
or ten passengers. To them descended
the chief engineer, Mr. W. R. Green,
followed by the first lieutenant,lCharles
W. Zimmerman. Both gentleman seated
themselves in the boat. All now had
,quitted the doomed vessel except the
Commodore.
He was seen to step down the stair-
way, to enter the cutter, when the match
premature fired (it is said by a drunkard)
must have communicated with the tur-
pentine. Instantly a heavy roll of black
smoke surged upwards, followed by a
bright explosive flame, full ten feet high
No alarm followed this, not a word was
spoken; the Commodore turned round
back, the heavy boat was alongside with
her crowd of passengers, the crew of the
Mary A. Boardman and her recent ac-
quisition were gazing curiously at the
bright flame or the tall thin frame of
their first officer, when -
A white puff of smoke broke through
the hatchway as from the muzzle of a
cannon. It was followed by an explosion
so tremendous as to move air, water, ev-
erything within its scope, jarring the Ma-
ry A. Boardman as though she were
shaken by an earthquake ; and shooting
up in the shape of a monstrous fan, like
the eruption of a volcano, soared a re-
versed cone of fire, while spreading equal-
ly in every direction—for there was not
wind enough in the calm January morn-
ing to disturb them—rolled and billowed
the heavy volumes of smoke. High up,
too, over head, adding infinitely to the
horror and bgauty of the occasion, ex-
ploded innumerable shells, a hundred of
which had been piled up on the deck per-
haps in anticipation of their destiny.
One of the powder magazines had explo-
ded, utterly destroying the forward half
of the Westfield, and leaving the remain-
ing portion a shattered and blasted ruin.

Public Lecture.
It gives us great pleasure to announce that
arrangements have been made for the deliv~
cry of at least one first-class Lecture, in Nor-
walk, this winter. Rev. A. A. WILLITS, of
Brooklyn. has been engaged by some of our
citizens, to deliver' a lecture at Lockwood’s
Hall, on Tuesday evening next. In order to
enable everybody to attend, the admission
has been put at the low price of 20 cents.
We trust the Lecture will be so well attend-
ed as to encourage the same gentlemen to
start a “ course” of Lectures.
The'Rochester American, speaking of one
of Mr. W’s Lectures, says :—“ Mr. W.'has
won here and elsewhere the highest praise
as a lecturer, and stands number one among
those who entered the field early and with-
stood the sifting that shook out so many
ephemeral lecturers. The subject he has
chosen is prolific of suggestions to such a
mind as his, and we presume it will be
among the gems of the winter course."

Report
Society of South Nor-walk
Six mdnths having passed since the La-
dies Patriotic Society of South Norwalk re-
sumed its labors, for the benefit of our sick
and wounded soldiers, and other incidental
l necessities, arising out of the terrible conflict
in which our country is engaged; the fol-
lowing Report of what has been accomplish-
ed with the small means at our command,
is presented, at the request of the Officers
of the Society.
We would first tender our sincere thanks
to all persons, who have either by donation
or labor, contributed to our success, and en-
abled us to add our mite to the comfort or
encouragement of those who have been and
are engaged in the defense of our govern-
ment against rebellion. To Nathan C. Ely,
Esq, we are especially indebted for the use
of Ely’s Hall, not only for our meetings dur-
ing the summer, but for the accomplishment
of various projects in aid of our funds. We
are also much indebted to Messrs: Byington
do 00., for the gratuituous insertion in the
Gazette, of Concert and Tableau notices,
and also for their kind notice of our efforts
from time to time. We would gladly ex-
press individually our appreciation of every
favor received, but as this is impossible, we
trust the assurance of having contributed in
any measure to the comfort of those soldiers,
who are now enduring the hardships of a
dreary winter in the field; or to the relief of
those who are suffering, and dying even, for
a cause so dear to every loyal heart, will be
an ample compensation for all the efforts
and sacrifices made in their behalf. The
donations of this Society have been most
gratefully acknowled, both by the associa-
tions to which they were sent, and by the
Companies to which boxes have been giVen.
While we look forward earnestly to the
time when peace shall again bless our once
happy land, we feel the need of continual
exertion, and we trust that those who have
so generously aided us in the past, will be
stimulated to greater efforts and sacrifices, if
necessary, in the future. We especially so-
licit the continued personal assistance of the
members of the Society. While to those
who have not as yet lent us their personal
aid in the good work, we would say, much
remains to be accomplished, the demand for
aid is increasing, and we desire to give to
the sick and suffering, all the alleviations
within our power.
Will not every woman consider it a priv-
ilege to do something, yes, ALL that she can,
in this dark hour of her country’s trial?

0th- 5th Reg. Correspondence.
CAMP NEAR FAIRFAX STATION, l
SUNDAY, January 7th, 1863. 5
DEAR Enrron :-—You no doubt remember
my promise to write to you and keep you
posted up as to the movements of our Regi-
ment. I have neglected to do so thus far,
and if it was not for receiving your paper
regularly every week, I dont know as I
would try to write at all, for every-
thing here is dull at present; besides there
is nothing that will interest your readers, un-
less it is an account of some great battle,
where thousands find a lonely grave. When
I last left Norwalk, I started for the thth
Regiment, which was at that time doing
provost guard duty at Frederick City, Md.
Nothing unusual happened at that place.
Everything went on well during the absence
of Colonel Chapman, who, at this time,
was not exchanged, or at least, not ordered
to his Regiment for duty. While in Fred.
erick City, the boys said they had past the
most pleasant and comfortable three months
of their enlistment. Through the persever-
ence of Major Parks, who was in command,
the regiment received new arms and equip-
ments. They are now armed complete with
the Springfield musket. Soon after receiving
the new outfit, we received orders to go to
the front, and on the morning of the tenth
of December, we were on the move. Many a
young man had thought that morning of the
girl he was to leave behind him. We were
at first ordered to cross the river at .Point
of Rocks and meet the twelfth army corps at
Leesburgh; on arriving at the depot, we
were ordered to go direct to Harper's Ferry.
Colonel Chapman was present at the depart-
ure of the regiment from Frederick City.
The boys were in good spirits and made a
fine appearance. Many of the citizens ex-
pressed their regret at the departure of the
Fifth. Several of the officers remained back
and did not go with the regiment, on account
of sickness. Capt. Marvin, Co. F; Capt.
Hamilton and Lieut. Hamilton, Co..K; Capt.
Wyant, CO.E; Lieut. Roberts, Co. B; Col.
Chapman and myself, being ordered to re-
port at Annapolis, we started on the after-
noon of the' tenth. I did not see or hear
anything of or from the regiment until the
19th of December—I joined them at this
place. I arrived at Annapolis on the 11th,
and reported to Col. Stanton, in charge of the
post, was ordered to report at Parole Camp,
about two miles from the city, which I did,
and was ordered by the Major in command,
to duty in the 5th company of the third bat~
talion of paroled prisoners, there being from
five to seven thousand presenuat the time of
my joining them. I did not remain there a
great while, for the next monday morning,
I started with several officers and men for
the front to join our respective regiments,
which we supposed were with Gen. Sigel, at
Fredericksburg. After some delay in getting
officers and men on board, we started in a
steamer for Aquia Creek. When there, we
found out we were on the wrong track, for
Gen. Slocum had fallen back to Fairfax
Court House. After some trouble and delay
of 48 hours, we were on our way in a steamer
for Alexandria. While at Aquia Creek, we
were joined by a number of recruits from
Fort Trumbull, New London, Ct, among
whom was W. A. Jennings, oi Nor-walk.
The officer in command delivered them over
to Capt. G. W. Corlies of Co. 0, of the Fifth,
who took them in charge, and procured
transportation to this place. We arrived at
Alexandria and put up for the night at Pa-
role Camp, a mile from the city, at which
place we procured rations and comfortable
tents for the men. Next morning we started
for the regiment, which we understood was
encamped near Fair Fax Station, a distance
of about seventeen miles. We found the
regiment encamped with the rest of their
brigade, in an open field, cold as it was, with
only half shelter tents enough to pgvorlthem.
There‘Was a kind receptionsgmo " ,gt'lie'men,
for several of them had ~n&'~.qedn,“ohe an-
other since the battle of Cedar Run, they
being taken prisoners. All the officers are
present who were taken prisoners except
Lieut. Col. Stone, and by what I hear, he will
not be with us for some time to come. I
understand that in taking off the spiutsit
was found the bone was or fell apart. Col.
Chapman was warmly greeted by the men
on his return to the regiment, and we are
now quartered in a large pine woods. Our
brigade number five regiments, under com-
mand of Col. Nipe, of the 46th Pennsylvania.
Gen. Crofi'ord, of this brigade, is still absent,
he being wounded at Cedar run. Most of
the men have built log houses, and have
made themselves quite comfortable.
There has been several reviews lately, one
last week of Colonel Murphey’s, late Gor-
don’s brigade, comprising six splendid regi-
ments. They were revieWed by Gen. Wil-
liams. On Saturday last, Gen. Williams re.
viewed his division, which consisted of about
twenty regiments of Infantry and tour but.
teries of Artillery. The weather being fine,
and but little mud under foot, everything
passed off well. This morning Gen. Wil-
liams’ Division was reviewed by Gen. Slo-
cum and staff. It proved a fine review, no
mud under foot and a noble breeze blow-
ing, which spread to the gaze so many
stars and stripes, and state colors. Capt.
Bess’ battery proved the most interesting to
us Of any. Every gun was bright, for they
were twelve pound brass guns, and did well
in the salute which they gave the Major
General on its entry in the field. Every man
looked clean and tity, more so than I ever
saw there before, It was a pleasing
sight to see the different regiments march in
review, perhaps more so to those in the dis-
tance, who did not have to march in it.
We have not had any excitement here for
some time, except a week ago this morning,
when our division was ordered to march
with three days cooked rations. We started
on our journey towards Ocoquan river, a
distance of about six miles over an old cor-
duroy road, which I think Sigel made, at
which we arrived about noon, and after
crossing in face of the breast Work which
was used by the rebels, it being on their line'
of defence last winter, we returned, finding
no enemy there, or, at least too far in the
start for us to follow; after recrossing the
stream, we stacked arms in column
by companies, made our fires and cooked
our coffee. While doing so, several rabbits
were: scared up on the side-hill back of us,
and the boys had a fine time chasing them,
several of which they caught. In the course
Of a few hours, we retraced our steps to-
wards camp, and when within three miles of
it, heard that the rebel cavalry had got be-
tween us and our camp, and report stated
that they had captured our camp with all
that was in it, but such was not the case.
We were then ordered to counter march and
returned back, put up for the night near a
cavalry camp with part of our brigade, the
other regiments having kept on towards
camp. We slept out that night without fires,
for we did not know where the enemy
wore. Next day, about noon, we started for
camp, where we arrived all safe and sound
to 1 find everything just as we left it. Sure
enough, they did come near our camp; they
crossed the railroad between heroand Alex-
andria, tore the track, cut the wires, and did
several other dirty tricks which they are fa-
mous for.
The 20th Conn. Volunteers are encamped
near us, and have been on all the reviews

as «ver came out as a Chaplain of a regi-

of lim. Our regiment is very small; we
haw a great many sick and wounded, some
of tle latter have been discharged, and gone

ent lospitals. Our company does not num-
ber lnt sixty-five men, including those pres-
ent and absent. We have had six new re-
cruit added lately. Seventeen have been
disclnrged, the rest have died or been killed

The Representation of New
England.
The patriots of Jeff Davis and Estonian
school who talk about “ leaving out New
England,” save to smuggle into their papers
little hints and insinuatlons that we are un-
fairly represented in Congress and have
m e than our proportion of the Senate.
A y diligent reader of the Register or Times
will find frequent suggestions of this kind in
their columns. The New York Times takes
occasion to explode these attempt of New
England’s dirty birds to foul their own nest.
It is not true that the six New En land
States have been especially favored in ena-
torial representation. True, they are small
in territorial area, but they average a much
larger population than the 11 Confederate
States. By the census of 1860, the combined
white population of the former was 3,110,-
682, averaging 518,448 to each State; while
the combined white population of the latter,
including Virginia undivided, was 4,449,463,
averaging oniy 402,496 to each State. Yet
the former had 12 Senators at Washington,
the latter 22. Rhode Island, the smallest of
the New England States, in population,
showed more than twice the white popula-
tion of Florida; Vermont the next smallest,
28,000 more than South Carolina; and Mas-
sachusetts, the largest, showed 164,000 more
than Virginia, the largest Southern State,
and 88,000: more than Mississsippi, Louisiana
and Texas combined. In the face of
figures, the pretence by Southern men, (1
Southern Sympathizers, that New Eng and
has an undue advantage in the Senate, is the
extreme of inpudencc. New England ac-
tually sustains as much disadvantage, rela-
tively to the Southern States, from the State
equality representation in the Senate, as
from the threevfitths slave representation in
the House and Electoral College.

There was most intense excitement in
the New York Legislature on Friday, in
consequence of the nomination, by the
Rebublicans, of Mr. Callicott, a Demo-
crat, of Brooklyn, for Speaker. The New
York Herald’s correspondent states that
Callicott is to terminate the deadlock by
such action as will secure his own election.
He is to retain his individuality as a Dem-
ocrat, give all patronage, not already be-
stowed, to his party, divide the Commit-
tees so as to give the majority on half of
them to the Democrats and on the other
half to the Republicans, and the only
vote he is to give them is on the question
of going into a joint ballot for United
States Senator, which will elect a Repub-
lican.

Wlt is oftener a cruelty than a kindness
to send liquors to friends in camp. A cor-
respondent in a New England Regiment re-
lates a circumstance in this connection, which
illustrates a by no means infrequent occur-
rence :
Why is it, says he, that people at borne per-
sist in sending spirituous liquors to their

Barrels of liquors are taken from the boxes
sent to soldiers, and immediately given up to
the medical purveyor, but occsionally a bottle

officer and cos into camp. One poor fellow
in a New ngland regiment was unfortunate
as to receive a small quantity a day or two
since, and drinking to excess became beastly
intoxicated while on guard, and In a drunken
sleep was carried from his post. The result
will be a trial by court martial, and the sen-

thousand picked mounted infantry, with
two rifled guns. The expedition was fit-

at least fifty miles in twenty four hours
skirmisbiug with our scouting parties most
of the way. The enemy Opened fire on
the town without giving notice to remove

Iowa troops, enrolled Missouri militia,
couvalescents and stragglers, numbering
2,600, with two old iron howitzers, one
iron six pounder, mounted on wagon
wheels, and two brass six-pounders at

Galveston.
The latest reports from Calwstoml
show that the Federal losses at that
point are not by any means so serious and
disheartening as at first reported. The
earlier accounts are already familiar. The
correct version is from an officer engaged
in the battle.
0n the first of January, four gunboats,
the HarrietlLaue, Owasco, Clifton and
Westfield with two coal boats were lying
inside the bar. The Westficld was two
miles from the city aground in the mud.
Shortly after midnight signals were ob-
served on shore and up the bay. Two
rebel boats were soon seen approaching,
and they were speedily followed by three
others in succession. The land force of
the enemy acted in concert with the fleet.
About 4 o’clock A. M. artillery Opened
on our gunboats from the shore the tire of
which was prompty returned.
The rebel vessels, containing over one
hundred men each, were protected by cot-
ton bales. They closed in with the Har-
riet Lane, and carried her by boarding.
Only eleven of her crew survived the fight.
The Westfield was blown up by order of
her commander. The coal boats fell into
the bands Of the enemy. The Owasco
and Clifton effected their escape.
The Federal land force was captured by
treachery. The enemy petitioned.for a
flag of truce, and on obtaining their re-
quest, came down in force, and took them
by surprise. It is asserted that they could
not have been captured but for this act of
baseness. The detachment consisted of
three hundred men.
The Federal loss in killed and wounded
will not exceed 125. The destruction
among the enemy was very severe. They
Were exposed to a terrible fire and suffer-
ed proportionately: It is said their loss
will not fall short of 500. Only three or
four of Col. Burrill’s detachment were
killed.
New YORK, Jan. 16.——The followifig
are all the details of the Galveston dis-
aster to be found in the New Orleans pa-
pers.
At 2 O’clock in the morning of the lst
inst. four rebel guuboats, lined and for-
tified with cotton bales, emerged from
Buffalo Bayou into Galveston Bay, and
moved ‘directly to attack our vessels.
The Harriet Lane was aground but suc-
ceeded in getting several well directed
shots into one of the rebel steamers, sink-
ing her in a few minutes. The sharp-
shooters succeeded in killing all the gun-
ners, and Capt. Wainwright. When the
latter fell, the Texans boarded the Lane
and captured her, meeting a heroic de-
fence from her officers and men. Lieut.
Lee and nearly all her crew were killed.
The rebels next attacked the Westfield,
also aground. After iuefi‘ectually attemp-
ting to get her afloat, a consultation of
officers, with Capt. Renshaw, unanimous-
ly agreed to blow her up. Moat of her
officers and crew escaped, but Capt. Reu-
shaw, Lieut. Zimmerman, Engineer Green
two Quartermasters, four fireman and a
boat’s crew of five were blown up with
the vessel. The Gunboat Owasco had
two men killed, and 11 wounded. The
remainder of the fleet escaped. The reb-
els turned the prows of all their vessels
shoreward, where they were anchored at
last advices.

3&- The papers recently captured by
our blockadlug fleet off Charleston are
said to contain very important dispatches
from Jeff. Davis and his Secretary of
State to Mason, Slide]! and others in Eu.
rope. They give many important facts
and details in regard to the condition of
the rebels. They also furnish the strong.
est statements of the desperate straits to
which the rebel leaders are reduced, and
show that unless they can quickly get re-
lief, either by Europeau inteference or by
dividing the free States, and thus paraly-
zing the efi'orts of the Government, they
must give up their bad cause. These dis~
patches arrived at Washington on Tues-
day. Theylwere put up in a tin box, loa-
ded with lead at one end so as to sink
quickly in an emergency. The Govern-
ment is strongly urged to fimake public
these captured dispatches, and will do so
as soon as certain special information
contained in them is made use of.

“OLD HOLDFAST.”~——The Murfreesboro
correspondent of the Chicago Times
writes :
“ It is a fact not heretofore published,
that on the night of Wednesday’s battle,
prominent Generals supposed Gen. Rose-
crans would retreat. He never enter-
tained such an idea. After the rebels
were gone, he was complimented for his
tenacity. ‘Yes,’ said he, ‘I suppose you
know Bragg is a good dog, but Hold-
fust is a better.’ They will fight for him
now more gloriously than before."

sa, Notwithstanding the comparative
silence that has hung over Gen. Rose-
crans’s movements since the battle at Mur-
freesboro, there is reason to believe that
he has not been idle and that he is busy
in accomplishing movements and laying
plans which it is Bragg’s earnest desire to
’ promptly frustrate.

Leaving out New England.
The last “ score” of the dirty, foul
(lisunionists, who lurk on the edge ol’treu-
son, and sl-rw- to the Les" of Mr abili-
ties, Jt‘fi' Dams at llu- South, the talk
of it new union of Uonl‘cdcrutvd States
“lcaving out New England.” If it were
not for the contempt which overwhelms
those who could originate or entertain
such an idea, it would be aludicrous il-
lustration of the imparting of imbecile
hatred to all that is great and glorious in
the institutions of our country. Leave
out New England? Leave out the cou-
querors of the Revolution? Leave out
the mothers of (-very prosperous State of
our Central and Western Territory?
Leave out the education, the wealth, the
energy of the nation ? Leave out the old
homestead of the men who have settled
the rest of the country? What an idcull
What base mind first suggested the
thought? What treasonsble toady gave
it currency ? God save this nation when
New England leaves it. Her stormy
shore and rough hillsides have madeit all
it is. Without her independence and val-
or it would now have been a Colony of
Great Britain ; without her intellect it
would have ranked with the republics of
South America.
And yet there are to be found even at
our doors, men, New Euglaudomen' con-
temptible enough to believe their petty
threats of a reconstructed union with
New England left out will cow the pat-
riotic soul of our people into base sub-
mission to a slavcholdiug aristocracy.
Men sneak around our streets to day and
whine over the bughear they have crea-
ted, iu the hope that the spirit of New
England is craven enough to yield up the
great principle for which it fought the
{evolutionary war, for fear that it will
be asked to take care of itself. Such
wretched offscourings of New England
stock disgrace themselves while they do
not alarm their country New England
has taken care of the whole nation,
and she can certainly take care of her-
self. The grandest nation the world ever
saw, might be bounded on the West by
the Hudson and on the North by the St
Lawrence.
With it. territory larger than Great
Britain, with a population ensuring a po-
sition among the great nations of the
world; with universal intelligence, uni-
versal wealth and an energy greater than
any people have eVer exhibited, New Eu-
gland might stand against the universe.
But there is no prospect of ” leaving out
NewEnglwd.” Whose sous, whose broth-
ers make up our western armies ? Whose
scholars educate the western mind?
Whose capital conducts the western trade?
New England? Indeed our sons, br‘oth-
ers, students and workmen beyond our
limits, have outrun the teachings of their
father land, and to-day New England is
in its political sentiment less progressive
than any region west of the Hudson.
New England, to her, shame be it said,
has more Tories in its limits than any oth-
er of the divisions of the Union. If it
had not we should never have heard their
hypocritical fears that they were going to
be “ left out.” Their ancestors had the,
same fears once, and went to Nova Scos
tia, but when New England“ left out”nou
only itself but all the United States from
the British Empire, they came back to
transmit to their descendeuts the results
of their money-making and the same ig-
noble disloyalty which disgraced them.
No? New England will never be left out
of any nation she chooses to belong to,
but she would acquire new vigor and
greater power if she could kick out the
petty rascals who seek to alarm her with
their miserable threats.

MAIZENA.
DOUBTLESS many of our friends, after
reading the advertisement of Mr Don
in another column, will exclalm, as we have
heard hundreds do before, What is Maizena.’
We might reply, as is often done—it is a
first-rate article for making puddings, cus-
tards, blanc-mange, and dishes of like na-
ture; but that only tells what it is for.
MAIZENA is a preparation made from white
Indian corn, by the Glen Cove Manufact ur-
ing 00., at Glen Cove, N. Y. We are not
able here to give the process :by which it is
prepared, as it would take an elaborate ar-
ticle to do so; and besides, there are some
pecularities about it which the manufactur—
ers prefer to keep to themselves. After hav-
ing spent much time and money in perfeo
* ting their machinery, they have secured the
exclusive right to manufacture it; they in-
tend, and deserve to make some money out
of it, and so long as they furnish the article
at their present reasonable prices, we pre-
sume the public will consent to their doing so.
We have tested the Maizena in our families,
and belive the qualities that recommend it to
public favor to be these; It is exceeding]
nutritious, we know Of nothing more so; It
is easily digested, making it an excellent dish
for dyspeptics, with whom it soon becomes a
favorite; it is extremely palatable, and adds
another to the long list of excellent dishes
equally well ad apted to the table of the ad-
vocate of a mixed diet, or the radical vege-
tarian. For children there is nothing better,
and they are usually exceedingly fond of it,
And for the sick room, from its palatable and
digestible and strengthenable qualities it is
invaluable; and we should not forget to men-
tion, what in these days of taxes will be an
important item, it is a very economical arti-
cle of diet.
The ease and dispatch with which it can
be prepared will, in the opinion of every
ood housewife, add much to its value. No
urther complaints of nothing for supper,
when a friend happens in, can be made, if a
pound of Maizena is in the house. Ten min—
utes will suffice to prepare a dish fit for any-
body. Eaten plain, it is excellent, with at
little sugar and cream first rate, and with
the addition of a little jelly made from cur—
rants or other fruit’ it is a dish “ fit for the
gods."
