HEAD QUARTERs 171‘! C. V. {

Cm NEAR BROOKs’ STATION, May 14. 5
DEAR GAZETTE: I have just reached our
boys. They are at their former quarters,

 

- the several companies occupying the same

" huts vacated at the timexof'their forward
" movement. ,

‘ nately for me,

(now in command) has fortu-

Hajor Brady .
just finished his oficral re-

. port of the part taken by the 17th in the
3‘ terrific fight Of the 2d—and I forward a
; copy herewith as indicating in detail their

, position,

or

and part in the engagement.

HEAD UARTERs 17TH C..V. CAMP NEAR 1
Bngxs’ STATION, VA. MAY 9th, 1863. 5

In compliance with instructions received
from Division Head,Quarters this morning,
I have the honor to make the following
stltement of the part taken by the 17th
Conn. Vols. in the engagement of May 2d,
1863.

, The regiment under the command of Col.
Wm. H. Noble, was placed in position to

support Dikeman’s Battery.

The right wing Of the regiment under the

' ' immediate command of Col. Wm. H. Noble

and Lieut. Col. Chas. Walters, was posted
in the garden (in rear of the house occupied
’by Gens. Devens and McLean as Head

‘ Quarters,) along the garden fence extending

f
l ,
f
l,

t

l

the whole, length of the front and partially
' down each side, thus forming portion of a
mum _ ‘
The left wing commanded by Major A.
G. Brady, was in line of battle along the
Culpepper road and on the right flank
of Dikeman’s Battery, continuous with the

general line of battle of the Brigade; aspace

'9 '1 somewhat greater than that occupied by the

'.
F"

right wing, which was behind the house
(bout 75 yards to the front and right was
left open between the left wing, and the
left of the regiment on our right.
' During the day we had two companies
out on picket, (one from each wing) which
_were driven in about 5 o’clock P. M., rapid-
ly pursued by the enemy. Onr right ,wing
could not fire upon the enemy while our
pickets were retreating, but as soon as they
were unmasked by our pickets, we poured
several volleys into their ranks, until being
overpowered by the rapid. advance of the
rebels in overwhelming force, were com-
pelled to retreat in obedience to commands,
' and in good order.

The left wing was exposed ’to a cross and
enfllading fire, which caused the Majorcom-
manding to order the men to lie dowu.
They remained firmly at their posts exposed
to a galling fire, until after the battery
which we were supporting had retreated
without firing a gun. I must here state
that not a man belonging to the battery
stood at his. post when the attack com-
menced, neither did they undertake to fire a
gun.

After the battery had retreated, and as our

, left wing could not see the enemy, but were
exposed to the most galling fire, I gave
the command and marched them out by
the left flank in good order.

Soon after the Col. had retreated with the
right wing, which was posted in the garden,
he was wounded. The Lieut. Co]. is sup-
posed to have been killed in the garden,
this left the command of the regiment with
the Major, which he assumed at once, and
rallied the regiment behind the rifle pits
near Gen. Howard’s head-quarters, and re-
mained there until driven out at the'point of
- the bayonet and superior force. The regi-
. ment again made a stand at the rifle pit to
the right’of the road, and remained until

, driven out, then retreated towards General

' Hooker’s head-quarters, and again madea
stand in the woods (“under the battery and
compelled soldiers from other regiments to

‘ . rally With us, here we halted until ordered

tochauge our position to the rear of the
battery where we remained all night.

At day-break of the 8d inst we were
matched down the road leading from Gen.

Hooker’s head-quarters to U. S. Ford, and,

ordered to man the rifle pits already con-
structed. Here we remained momentarily
expecting an attack, until Wednesday mor-

. ning, when with the whole army we re-

v alert and firmly resolved to defend to the

‘ = amine

crossed the Rappahannock. While the regi-
ment stood at the rifle pits not a. man left
the ranks and all were constantly on the

last those brestworke.
- Respectfully, &c.,

MAJOR A. G. BRADY.
Commanding 17th C. V.

I «also send you a rough pencil sketch Of
the battle ground occupied by the 17th,
very kindly made for me by surgeon Hub-
bard, which although you will not be able
to get engraved in season for your next pa-'
per, will nevertheless be Of very great inter-
est to such as have friends in the regiment
and may chance to call at the office and ex-
it. Our regiment occupied the

.a _ grounds of a Mr. Hatch, a native of Far-
‘ .. ,mington in our State, and brother of Walter

,Hatch, Esq., of New Preston. Mr. Hatch
was an octogenarian and thus escaped the

2' ’ rebel conscription; and as may have been

supposed, was greatly surprised at being
honored by so much company from his na.

. . the State.
_; ,. Since beginning my letter a wounded lad

, named Alfred Brodhust, Of New Canaan,
’ has just ‘ljcen brought in from over the
river. He was wounded, only slightly, in
'the shoulder, on the retreat and captured
and carried back to the Hatch mansion,
which the rebels used for a hospital. He
waited, as did others, five days before the

' . rebel surgeons could dress his wound—and

 

almost in a state of starvation, but he re-
ports that he fared no worse than the rebel
wounded—they stating that Stoneman’s
raid had cut them off from all their sup-
plies. He brings the good news that pri-
vate Geo. S. Patrick of Norwalk, was at the
Hatch Hospital, uninjured and so serviceable
in minstering to our wounded that the reb-
els wouldn’t let him come away. Brod-
hust left Sergt. Jennings of Co. (St., Wounded
iii the side, and Christian Faber of Co. H,

' wounded in the hip, at the Hatch House,

but as our ambulances were in waiting
there, he presumes they will be brought
over here to-morrow. ‘

He brings the sad news also. of’the cer-
tain death of LIEUT. COL. WALTER, who
though little known perhaps in Ct, was one

A of the noblest men who have yet laid down

__ Hitch

I ,their lives for the country. He was shot in

the eye, the ball passing thro'ugh the head '
andof course killing him instantly, while
he Was in the act Of cheering on his men.
Brodhurst saw him decently buried imme-
‘diatelyin front of the garden fence of the
house and a board marked over his

 

 

 

river to-morrow, with a view of recovering
his body and forwarding it to his stricken
family, if possible. In Co. A. none are
known to be killed, Qr even is there any
good grounds for supposing any killed.
Lieut. John W. Craw, gave out on the re-
treat from exhaustion consequent upon pre-
vious illness, and was of course captured.
Warren Hoyt is here in the lst Division Hos-
pital and his wound is doing well. Hiram
Bishop and Robert Flynn have their “to-
kens”of rebel affection, but are about. St
Clair Guthrie is plucky as ever and talking
of immediately rejoining his company.
Young Campbell is comfortable at Washing-
ton.

In the Lockwood Guards, Sidney D_
Smith was. the first man of the regi-
ment who fell. He was 'hit in the neck
and instantly killed at the opening of the
fight. Thos. {McLaughlin has a terrible
wound in the shoulder and side from a shell,
but is in good spirits and under the skillful
care of Surgeon Hubbard is doing splendid-
ly. John A. Comstock and Francis Day are
painfully, but not seriously injured and are
both doing well. Willis McDonald, David
Field and Sergt. Grifl‘ith had hair-breadth es-
capes, having been scathed by broken shells.
Of the missing in Co. F, all were undoubt-
edly captured. Stephen Brady was seen af-
ter the retreat was ordered, and 'with John
Jarvis, who is reported to have “fallen out,"
fell into the hands of the rebels, who instant-
ly covered the ground our boys had vacated.

The individual cases of bravery men-
tioned are numerous, but I cannot now re-
cord them. Col. Noble won the admiration
and applause of his men and all who saw
him, by his deliberate coolness and courage,
under the most trying circumstances. And
to the calm courage of both its commanding
officers and men also is its salvation from ut-
ter rout'and annihilation to be attributed.
Alldid their duty nobly and well and re-
deemed the 11th army corps from the dis-
graceful panic which seized upon the 107th
Ohio. Our “Tim” is reported to have made
himself particularly conspicuous by his
daring. Fred Betts was color corporal and
flaunted the stars and stripes in the very fa-
ces of the rebels foes. Major Brady has
just finished a letter addressed to the Gov-
ernor, in which the following mention is
made of young Betta :—-— “ Corporal C-
Fredrick Betts, Of Co. A, who during the
terrible engagement of May 2d, carried ;the
national colors Of the regiment, and exoited
the admiration of all, by his coolness and
bravery, I shall reward him by making him
Sergeant Major as soon as that position is
vacant.” ‘ .

The 27th Regt. was captured bodily all the
Oflicers and men save parts of two compa-
nies to the number of 105 men.

_ Nor-walk boys in the 5th, Regt. are said to
be all right. I shall go to see them before
my return. - ’

It is a most fortunately fact and comfort-
ing too to all who have friends in the 17th,
that by general confession of the Surgeons,
our Dr. Hubbard, is the most skillful Sur-
geon in the entire corps. Most fortunately
for the poor sufferers, Dr. Hubbard’s abili-
ties made him Brigade Surgeon, very soon
after his arrival. Will advise you further
if possible before you go to press. B.

P. S. I forward this by Lieut. John Mc.
Quhae, A. D. C. to Gen. McLean.

LATER.
Mr. Byington telegraphs us tO-day as fol-

ows:
Wounded 17th boys just returned, say

they saw Cra'w, Jarvis, Brady, and Lees on
their way to Richmond. I went after Col.
Walter’s body; Rebels promised me to send
it via Fredericksburg. BYINCTON.

The Christian Commission.

It gives us pleasure to‘ comply with a re-
quest to announce to our readers, that the
Christian Commission will hold a meeting in
this town on Thursday evening, of this week
at the CongregationalChurch at 7 12 o’clock
The same eloquent speakers, we understand,
who addressed the‘ first meeting Of the Com-
mission, in this place, at Lockwood’s Hall,
are expected to be present. All who are in-
terested in- the welfare of the soldiers, are in-
vited to attend. We trust the collection on
this occasion, will be one creditable to the
tovvn. It will be rememberd that the collec-
tion in Stamford, on one evening, for this
good cause, amounted to $ 1,100. Will
Norwalk be outdone by her sister towns?

.On the same evening, the Commission
will also hold a meeting at the Congrega-
tional Church South Norwalk, the same
speakers addressing the audience.

The Burnside Light Guard.
This militia company, organized at South

N orwalk, made their annual Spring parade,

on Saturday last, and were much compli-

mented for their efficiency in drill, and ex-
cellent appearance. They were under com-
mand of Major M. M. Norton, who as for-
mer Captain Of the company, deserves much
credit for his energy in organizing, and per-

 

 

 

 

~ severance in keeping the company together

under many adverse circumstances, and for
bringing it up to its present high standard.
He is proud of the company, and the men
are equally proud of their commander. The
other officers Of the company, are, 1st Lieut.
Henry Fitch; 2d Lieut., H. J. Crofut; 0r-
derly, Andrew. Crossman; Surgeon, M. B.
Pardee.

After marching through the principal
streets of “the Hub,” the company honored
“the Suburbs,” by coming up-town and pa-
rading for several hours. They‘ were hand-
somely entertained with a collation, at the
Norwalk Bakery, by Mr. John Murray, and
at the Norwalk Hotel, by Mr. Brewster,
The Wheeler & Wilson Band furnished the
music for the occasion; their praise was in
every one’s mouth. The Band at present, is
composed almost cntirel y Of new members,
but' is still under the leadership of Mr. Frank
Thomas, who thinks he has a better Band
than ever. The reed music is certainly a
great addition. This is decidedly a favorite
Band with Norwalk people.

On their return the company saluted the
GAZETTE, for which compliment they will
please accept our thanks.

Returning to South Norwalk, the compa-
ny, together with some fifty invited guests,
partook of a substantial and most excellent
Dinner, provided by Mr. L. W. Foster, the
popular landlord of the “ Foster House,” op-
posite the Depot. As the proverb says, “the
proof Of the pudding is in the eating,” and
we think Mr. Foster must have felt highly
complimented for his ability as a caterer, by
the apparent relish with which his viands
were disposed of. If Mr. Foster can get up
such dinners, he must “ know how to :keep
a Hotel." . .

After dinner, the company pissbnt were
entertained with short addresses by Alder-
man Ely, Lieut.-Col. Strong, W. B. Swan,
Capt. E. Wood,Capt. Merritt of the 14th Reg-
iment, J. F. Footc, and other gentlemen;
with music by the Band, and singing. Capt.

J. L. Russell distinguished himself by mak- .

ing a neat little speech in praise of the fair

sex, and calling for “three cheers for the La- ,

dies.” Gen. Guyer, now Colonel of the Reg-
iment, was present and presidcdfi' ,
Altogether it was a most happy affair.—
May the Burnside Light Guard continue to
flourish, and enjoy many such occasions,—

 

l " andwe be there to see.”

Women’s Loyal League
OF SOUTII NORWALK, CT.

In agreement with other loyal ladies of
the State, the ladies of South Norwalk met
at Ely’s Hullon Saturday afternoon, the 9th
inst, and after organizing adopted the-fol-
lowing Resolutions and Pledge.

Reswlced, By the loyal women of South
Norwalk, assembled on the 9th day of
May, 1863, for the purpose of forming a
loyal league :

_ .,,lst. That we the women of this league,
are unconditionally loyal to our-govern-
ment and its institutions, and adhere to
the declaration so universally made and
accepted at the outset of the rebellion,
that those who are not for the govern:
ment, are against it. ‘

_ 2d. That we abhor treason and cow-

ardice in every form and under every dis-

guise, and that no traitor to his country
shall utter adisloyal sentiment in our
presence. unrebuked.

3d. That we will encourage and sus-
tain our brave soldiers by constant to-
kens of interest; but still more by the
expression Of our cheerful and unflinch-
ing determination to stand by the dear
old flag till the day of its triumph, be it
near. or remote, and of our assurances
that if they-and we prove faithful to our
trusts, that day cannot be far distant.

4th. That we will carefully study the
great principles of civil liberty which
constitute the spirit of our republican

government, and will so instruct our chil-

dren and all those dependent upon us,

"that they may grow into such filial rev-

erence for the best of all governments as
shall make them always patriots, never

, mere parlizans.

5th. That our preference in trade shall
be given to thoSe known to be truly loy-
al and patriotic; and that we encourage
others to the same choice.

' 5th. That we hereby recommend tO all
members of the Leagiic that, in token of
their loyalty, they publicly wear the
Union colors as the badge of the Loyal
l-League until the day of our national
triumph.

7th. The Officers of this League shall
consist of a President, Vice President,
Secretary and Treasurer, and an Execu-
tive Committee of seven or more mem-
bers thereof. The officers above named
shall perform the ordinary duties of such
ofiicers.’ ‘ '

The EXecutive Committee shall have
power to fill all vacancies occurring in
any of the Offices.

Pledge: We, the undersigned women

of South Norwalk', do ho hereby adopt
the foregoing resolutions, and pledge our.

. selves to their maintenance and to an un-

wavering support of the government in
its effort to suppress the rebellion.

The following ladies were then unani-
mously elected oflicers Of the League:

President, Mrs Albert Nash.

Vice Presidents, Mrs. Eben Hill, Mrs.
Henry Knapp, Mrs. George Seymuor,
Mrs. David Lowe.

Secretary, Mrs. M. E. Raymond.

Treasurer, Miss Mary Austin.

Executive Committee, Mrs. Austin,
Mrs. Cape, Mrs. S. H. Orton, Mrs. Wm.
Beard, Mrs. John Boutou, Mrs. Charles

ton, Mrs, Dennis .Platt, Mrsf Francis
Nash.

forts by addresses from Rev. Messrs
Platt, Nash and Austin, when the meet-

.ing adjourned. _

 

the Women’s Loyal
, League.

Are we as Women of America awake to
the solemnity of the present hour? I feel

Address to

'we are not, but the formation of the W0-

men's Loyal League, gives evidence that
the spirit of patriotism which glowed in the
breasts of the Mothers of the Revolution is
again arousing. They, were worthy of the
Fathers. Let us prove ourselves worthy of

. the blessed institutionthey purchased for

us with their blood.

Let woman arise in her dignity, and sweet
winning grace, and exert every faculty for
the preservation of our government in this
hour of her fiery trial; this struggle for con-
stitutional liberty. The resolutions of this
society aim a\deadly blow to treason, and
if carried out will tend powerfully to sup;
press the rebellion. Let all mothers por-
tray in their true light, to the impressive
hearts of their children, traitors and tories,
they will then learn to abhor them and be
themselves, true patri , never partizans.

_ At a time like this let the line which di-
vides treason from loyalty, be deep and
broad. Let those who stand up for the con.
stitution and the present administratton,
like a Macedonian phalanx be prepared to
repel the insinuations 01 those who sympa-
thize with, and apologize for rebels in arms,
and let us show our disapprobation by with-
holding our purse-strings and by administer-
ing properrebuke to all disloyal sentiments
expressed inourpresence. M. E. R.

One Monday morning, not long ago,
we gladly left the D. &. N. Railroad anfl
took the SOUND ROUTE for New York.
This route forms one of the finest and most
varied sails in this country. The noble
HUDSON, with its towering Highlands and
mountain sheltered Coves, is at once sublime
and beautiful ;——-thc SOUND, with its clusters
of Islands, its jutting points and wide-mouth-
ed Bays, if not sublime is certainly beautiful
and picturesque in a peculiar sense.

Let us take a running glance at some of the
most prominent features of this landscape
fifty miles in extent. .As you steam out of
NORWALK HARBOR and down the SOUND,
the towns, of DARIEN, STAMFORD, GREEN-
wrcn, and RYE, show themselves close along
the right shore, or lift their spires beyond
some distant cove ; further down NEw ROCH-
ELLE, with Davenport Neck; then comes
Foulke’s Island, DAVID'S IsLAND, with its
U. S. Hospital, Pelham Neck, Hart Island,
City Island, MANnAssnT, Hewlett’s Point,
Elm Point, TERooo’s NECK, with Its exten-
sive Hospital, protected by the battlements
of FORT Scnn'YLER, Little Neck Bay, Col-
lege Point, Riker’s Island, Flushing Bay,
“TheBrothers.” Here we enter the East
River proper, paSsing by Randall’s and
Ward’s Islands, with the Institution Build-
ings, and steam thro’ the famous HELLGATE
past BLACKWELL’S -‘IsLAND, with its mad
Houses. Penitentiary and other public build-
ings; Hunter’sPoint, GREEN POINT, and its
ship yards, with Iron clads, &c.. on the stocks
Novelt Works, Dry Dock, Williamsburg,
U. S. Ob Dock. Navy Yard, BROOKLYN, for-
ests of shipping; and here we are, making
fast to Pier 22, at Fulton Market Slip, the en~
gine stops. and our sail is ended.

THE MONTPELIER.

Through the kindness of Actin Captain
JOHN TOWNsEND, Esq, [whom cordially
recommend to the travelling public,] I was
shown through the entire Boat. The MONT-
PELIER is a new steamer, built expressly for
this line by PERRY of Keyport, and
commenced running on the 19th of March
last. She is 176 ft. long, with 26 ft. and 8
inches width of beam. She is substantially
built of staunch timbers, and doubly “Hogg’
framed, andalso diagonally framed through-
out, making hcr trebly strong to stand any
storm or blow.—Thc Boat is neatly trimmed
and furnished, having a Dining Room. Slee-
ping Apartment for Ladies, a fine State Room
an elegant and cheerful Ladies Parlor, or
cabin, and a genuine Yankee Barber Shop.
Her engine is a “Low Pressure Beam” Of
200 horse power, made by FLETCHER, HAR-
RISON :85 00., N. Y., 1863, and furnished
with the “ American Steam Gauge." James
Clark, of Hartford, the Engineer is a gentle-
man and a skillful, reliable officer. The
MONTPELIER made 20 mlles per hour on her
trial trip, and her average time between Nor-
walk and New York [50 miles] in three
hours, thus enabling her passengers to reach
the lower part of the city about as soon as
the cars from 27th St., connecting with the

.Y. & N. H. R. B. At Fulton Market
Slip, where the boat lands, conveyances may
be had for any part of the city.

The MONTPELIER is a graceful and easy
sailor, and I have scarcely ever been on board
a boat that moved more smoothly through
the water and with less of jarring and tumb-
ling. .

THE CAPTAIN. .

Owing to indisposition, the Captain Hora-
tio Nelson Gage, was not on board, andI
missed the pleasure of his acquaintance. He
is a native of Vermont and is in every sense
a self-made man, owing his success to patient
and manly perseverance.- He was represen-
ted to us a gentleman calculated to please all
and greatly interested in the genuine popu-
larity and successful establishment of his
Boat, of which he is sole owner.

From whatI learned, on the passa e down
I think I can safe] warrant the pu lie that
they will find In ‘APT. GAGE all the requi-
sites of a. polite, efficient and successful steam—
boat Captain.

 

TEE PILOT.

No office on a steamboat requires more ca-
pability than that Of a Pilot, and it is due to
the traveling community that the rudder be
in the hands of a safe, and skillful, bold and
reliable man. In this respect the llION'l‘PE-
LIER meets every requirement; no better
Pilot traverses the Sound than CAI'T. J OSEPH
BYXBEE. Having spent all his life on the
waters of the Sound, he knows the channel
completely, and all who travel on his boat
may feel secure. As I watched him hand-
ling the wheel, with the precision and confi-
dence that comes only from thorough know 1-
ed I couldn’t help but turn with a smile
an?word of admiration to Acting Capt.
Townsend, who assured me that the old Pilot
Was a. “first rate fellow, and some at the
wheel.”

May Capt. BYXBEE’s timbers long hang
together, and the day be far distant when
his life bark shall run ashore and the helm
cease to move in his death stiffened hand!

E. G. BENSON is the general caterer to the
palates and hungering and thirsting propen-
sities of the passengers. Mr. BENsON fur-
nishes meals at all hours during the passage,
in the neat and cool ‘Dining room Of the
Steamer.

G.,BENSON is also ready to take any or-
ders for goods Of every kind, purchasing
the same and shipping them for asmall com-
mission, the money to be paid on an ival of
the goods. People in Danbury, and along
the line of the D. & N. R. R., will find this
a convenient medium Of purchasing in the
City.

I‘have above given you a detailed account
of the “Sound Route," its accommodations
and facilities. They combine safety, pleas-
ure, economy and celerity. Capt. GAGE has
a fine Boat and his efforts ought to meet with
the public approval. Danbury has always
patronized the “Sound Route," (let her old
merchants tell,) and I have no doubt that
every day of the present season will find a
goodly number Of- her citizens leaving the D.
do N. Railroad, and wending their way to
the snug Steamboat waiting for them “ just
over the way.” >

Many successful trips to the good Steamer
MONTrELIER! Long life to her Captain Pi-

lot, Engineer and all Hands on board!

Good News!

It is with the highest gratification
that we are able to state, that a reliable
private letter was received in this city,
last evening, from an oflicer of Co. A.
27th Regiment, from which We learn
that all the officers and men of that regi-
ment, who were captured at the late bat--
tle, are now without doubt at Annapolis,
or on their way thither from Fortress
Monroe. Also, that every one of the
Field and Line Officers are safe, and that
the total loss of the regiment, in killed,
wounded and missmg,‘ foots up not more
than twanty-five. In CO. A, but one man
was killed.

This news is to be read with the under
standing, as before published, that com-
panies D and F, having been detached,
were not with them, and the officers who
furnishes this information knew nothing
of them of course.

Connecticut had a respectable repre-
sentution of good men in the Richmond
prisons, and the influences they have left
may be of great service to the people of
that happy city. There were some from
5th, 8th, 14th, 16th, 20th, and 27th. , .

A great number of anxious friends of
the 23th will feel greatly relieved of the
distress which the recent uppertainty con-
cerning their fate has caused.

The rebel batteries at Grand Gulf,

hard’fight and considerable loss, were
mostly worked by wgm troops. If the
rebels use slaves to destroy the Union,
there can be no harm in using them, to

By the steamers Sunday we have New
Orleans dates to the 10 b inst. Our let-
ters and papers contained nothing direct 5
from Gen. Banks. and it is, of course, to
be inferred that he is all right. The Cup-
ture Of Alexandria, Lo. (on the R-d
River, 150 miles from its mouth), is des-
,cribed. The work was done on the 6th,

by Admiral Porter, with his own and
some of Admiral Farragut’s boats. Two
days before they had finished up Fort De
Rnssy, disabled one small Rebel gunboat
and put another to flight. On the eve-
ning of the 6th, after the capture of Al-
exandria, some of our cavalry from New
Orleans arrived there, thus forming a
junction betWeen the gunboats and the
land forces of Gen. Grant. New-Or—
leans papers give some particulars of.Gen.
Grant’s operations, and the city was alive
with exultation over the capture of
Grand Gulf, Port Gibson, and particular-
Iy the arrival of Col. Grierson’s cavalry
all safe at Baton Rouge. Col. Grierson
himself was in New Orleans, the hero of"
the hour. His forces, the 6th and 7th
Ill. Cavalry, left La. Grange, Tenn, on
the 17th of April, 'and reached Baton
Rouge on the 2d of May. Their zig-zag
course gave them a route of about 800
miles—in one instance they rode 80 miles
in 28 hours. They sweptj a. breadth of
about 20 miles through the entire State
of Mississippi clean of everything of most
value to the rebels,- broke bridges, tore
up railroads, destroyed immense quanti‘
ties of army provisions, ruined engines,
cars, depots and towns, spoiled the tele-
graphs, and so utterly bewildered the
Rebels that before any efficient resistance
could be made they were safe within Gen.
Bank’s lines. In all their sixteen days’
ride they had but one night’s rest. Capt.
Howard Dwight, of Gen. Andrew’s staff,
was basely murdered on the 4th inst,
near Washington, La., afterhavingsur-
render to some Rebel scouts. Gen. Banks
at once ordered the arrest of 100 white
men nearest the place of assassination, to
be held until further orders. Gen. Banks
has issued an order proposing the forma-
tion of an entire Army Corps of blacks,
to be called the Corps d’ Afrique.

Lieut. Phelps, commanding the Ten-
nessee division of the Mississippi squad-
ron. reports to the Navy department
that on the night of the 12th, he took on
board adetachmeut of the lst Western
Tennessee Cavalry, and landed them on
the east side of the Tennessee River.
The cavalry proceeded across the coun-
try to Linden, where they surprised a
camp of Rebel cavalry, and captured a
number of officers and men, with the en-
tire appurtenances of camp. The Reb-
els had three men killed; our loss was
one horse. ‘

.A deserter from the 3d Alabama re-
ports that his regiment lost 225 men in
actlon, and has but 150 fit for duty.
.The Rebel Oflicers- estimate their loss at
25,000. The rations have been cut down
to one pound two ounces of flour, and a
quarter of a .pound 'of bacon per day.
Since the battle the‘divisions of Gens.

Blackwater.

Tire Ric/mond Enquirer of the 14th
announces that five or six traIISports’ lan-
ded National troops at West Point on
the day previous, and that the men were

and the Pamunkey Rivers.

 

W
_Furloughs for the 6th and 7th
Conn. Regiments.

Maj. Gen. Hunter replies to a request
of Gov. Buckingham for the indulgence
of furloughs, so far as may be consistent
with the public service to the deserving
officers, non-commissioned officers and
privates of the 6th" and 7th Court, that
furloughs will be granted to the amount
of five per cent, thirty days each, on the
recommendation of the commanding Ofii-
cers, and also leaves Of abseri‘c'e to com-
missioned officers, not to exce.d six in
each regiment, for 20 days each.

Gen. Hunter takes- occasion to speak
in the highest terms of praise of these
two Connecticut regiments .

We learn that the Governor is making
efforts to have them transferred to the
northern department, as It is generally
thought that a second summer in that
climate would be much more trying to
their health than the first was—Press.

News from Gen. Grant,— Vicksburg
Rebels Despondenl. A dispatch from Cai-

ro the 14th says that Adj. Gen. Thomas
had arrived at Memphis and had already
organized ten regiments of’ negroes, and
expected to organize as many more. Our
troops all the way from Memphis to
Young's Point are moving to reinforce
Gen. Grant, Judge .Kellogg, who left
Gen. Grant’s headquarters on Thursday
last, says the report of a fight at Clinton
Miss, is untrue. Gen. Grant will en-
deavor to cut the railroad between Vicks—
burg and Jackson, and a battle is expec-
ted in the vicinity of the Black river
bridge. ' ‘ ’

The Jackson Appeal says Gen. Bow-
eu’s loss at Bayou Pierre was about 1000.
The rebel killed and wounded Were left
on the field. Gen Tracy, Lieut.‘ Col.
I’ettis and Major Tuckerman were killed,
and Col. Garnett and Maj. Hurley se-
verely Wounded.

The Vicksburg correspondent of the
Appeal takes a gloomy view of matters.
He says that Gen. Grant’s mow-ment de-
ceived both our people and military men.

rul Williams is a volume of 332 pages,
and is of more public interest than usual
as it. comprises the official history of Con—
necticut during one year of the war. A
brief abstract can, of course, mention but.
aft-w items of general interest—those
seeking detailed information of the part
taken by Connecticut in raising troops
for the War, should examine the reportit-
self.

The whole number Of troups'raised up
to April last, 1863, under all the difi'e-
rent calls, was 28,219—(exclusive of
those who have enlisted in regiments of
other States, estimated at not leasi than
2000 more.) The loss by deaths, dischar-
ges for disability, desertion, &c., inclu-
ding the three three-months regiments
mustered out, 7,637—sometbing more
than one-fourth of the whole number.
This leaves 20,582 in the U. S. service
on the lat of April.

The method adopted in equitably al-
lotting the quota of the several towns
is explained, and tables printed giving
the quota of each town in the State.
The operation of the draft is also stated.
Of the 1303 men“ drafted, 81 deserted,
913 were exempted by physicians, and

The enrollment of inactive militia num-
bered 42,556.

The drafts upon the State Treasurer,
for sustaining the volunteer force in all

&c., in all the 27 regiments of Infantry,
1 regiment heavy artillery, 1 regiment
and l squadron of cavalry, and 2 light
batteries of artillery.

The roster of the state militia is giv-
en by theAdjutant General, who refers
to the militia law passed by the General
Assembly at its last May session, and
says that while there are many wise pro-
visions in the law, making it a very liber-
al and excellent one in time of peace, it
appears to be entirely inadequate, when
the country is engaged in war, to the ob:
ject designed in its enactment. Hersc-

of soldiers,

male cilizens be enrolled and divided into
two classes. The first class to be com-
posed of those between the ages of 18
and 30, to be termed 'the active militia ,-
tbe second class to comprise all able bod-
ied white male citizens between the ages
of 30 and 45 years, to be enrolled and
constitute the inactive militia—the lat-
ter class to be subject to active duty only
in case of war, insurrection and invasion,
uctual or threatened. Details are given
as to the manner of organization, redu-
cing the whole to a perfect system. He
thinks the failure to enact a proper law
is owing to the fact that the members,
not being military men, do not possess
the experience desirable for a proper ap-
preciation of the Subject, and have marli-

from competent military judges. He ur-
ges the appointment of practical military
men, not members of the assembly, to act
with the legislative committee for the pur-
pose Of constructing an efficient system.

During the past year there have been
issued 1,348 commissions, and 1,274 gen.-
eral and special orders havebeen promul-
gated. The names of many of the glo-
rious dead of Connecticut are given, fol-
lowed by words Of true devotion to their
memory. And the efiiciency and bravery
of the volunteers frdm this state is noted.

——Vallandinham, on his trial,“ let out
the fact that Fernando Wood has been
corresponding with the rebels at Rich-
mond in relation to terms of peace. Fer-
nando has often asserted that somebody
had had communication with Richmond,
but was always‘ careful not to commit
himself. As it is a criminal offence to
correspond with the enemy in time of
war, he may yet get into trouble as Well
as his friend. .

THE RESULTS OF RECENT

MOVEMENTS.

 

The following order has been issued by
Maj-Gen. Hooker: .

HEADQUARTERS ARMY on THE Poro-
MAC, May 6, 1863,

General Orders, NO. 49: The Maj.—
Gen. commanding tenders to his army
his congratulations on its achievements
of the last 7 days. If it has not acCom-
plished all that was expected, the reasons
are well knownto the army.

It is sufiicient to say they were of char-
acter not to be foreseen or prevented by
human sagacity or resources.

In withdrawing from the south bank
of the Rappahannock before delivering a
general battle to our adversaries the ar.
has given renewe'd evidence of its confi-
dence m itself and its fidelity to the prin-
CIples It represents.

In fighting at a disadvantage we would
have been recreant to our trust. to our.
selves, our cause and our country. PTO-
foundly loyal and conscious of its strength
the Army of the Potomac will give or
decline battle whenever its interest of
honor may demand. ' .

It will also be the the guardian of its
own history and its own arm.

By our celerity and secrecy of move:
ment, our advance and passage of the
rivers was undisputed, and on our with-
drawawal not a rebel returned to follow.

The events of last week may swell with
pride the hearts of every Officer and sol-
dier of this army. '

We have added new laurels to its for0
mer renown. We have made long march-
es, crossed rivers surprised the enemy in
his entrenchments, and whenever we have
fought we have inflicted heavier blows
than we have received. ,

We have taken from the enemy five
thousand prisoners, and 15 colors, captur-
. ed and brought off 7 pieces of artillery
and placed Iror: (In. combat 18,000 of his
chosen troops. -

We have destroyed his depots filled
with vast amounts of stores, damaged his
communications. captured prisoners with-
in the fortifications of his capitol,..snd
filled his country with fear and conster-
nation.

We have no other rsgret'than - that
caused by the loss of one brave compan-
ions, and in this we are consoled by the .
conviction that they have fallen.in the
holiest cause ever summitted to the arbi-
trament of battle. By command of

“- The Earthquake,” between eleven
and twelve O’clock -Monday night, was
caused by the blowing up of a powder
factory at the foot of 78th street, not
far from Jones’ Woods. No person was
in the factory at the time, and the cause
of the explosion is unknown. In one of
the two buildings there was a ton and a
half of powder, and probably a good
deal more, but the exact amount is not
given. Buildings in 7 5th and 76th streets
were blown down or greatly damaged.
One residence in 76th street Was injured
to the amount of $4,000, and two per-
sons were much hurt. The ex'plosion,
however, does not seem to have made as
much noise:in the city as one would have
supposed. The morning papers had little
or nothing to say of it. '

In this region, the concussion was no-
ticed by hundreds of persons ; many
were aroused from sleep by it. So at
New Haven. It seems that the Traveler
was near BlackWCll’s Island at the time,
and great alarm was occasioned by the
shock which was so heavy as to cause
the bOat to rareen fearfnlly. Consider-

CHILDREN owe much of their siCkness to
Colds. No matter where the disease may
appear to be seated, its origin maybe ,traced
to suppressed prespiration, or a cold.
Cramps and Lung Complaints are direct pro-
ducts of Colds. In short, Colds are the hu-
bingers of half the diseases that afflict hu-
manity, for as they are caused by c..ecked
prespiration, and as fiveeights of the waste
matter of the body escapes through the
pores, if those pores are closed, that pro r-
tion of diseases necessarily follows. ‘ esp
clear therefore, of colds and coughs, the great
precursor of disease, or if contracted brook
them up immediately,_by a timely use of
Madam Porter’s Gui-alive Balsam. Sold by
all Druggists, at 13 cents and 25 cents per
bottle. -
