' All Hail l the Army of the Potomac!
.FIWIWUS 1719103}?! .
.~:. ,Tné’eronstr‘y is electrified; and "an loyal
hearts are rejOicing over the glOrious news
'of' our- success 3 in ithe .; recent contest with
ifllfldflwg‘ imPennsy‘lvania. The painful
, Inapenseofithe last few days is over—the
r country breathes once more. Its great heart
is now palpitating with new life and fresh
energy, ' GOd be praised ‘that we havebeen
spared are sorrows ofdefeat in this, "the most
terrible, 7and' as we think, the most' decisive
battlepfthe-‘war. . ‘ ‘-: .'
The new General commanding; has cover-
ed himself with glory. The splendid Army
of the Potomac, so, badly handled heretofore,
yet cdn'sciOus or its ability to cope with any
army of equal numbers which the enemy
wereabletOs'bring against them, have dem-
onstreted their claim, to the confidence and
afl'ects'ou‘. offhe country by their indomitable
courage and splendid fighting qualities in
this campaign. . The country waits to greet'
them, and to heifer them'as they deserve.
ALI. mm! 'rnn Ann! or run” POTOMACI
The, great issues of this campaign can
scarcely be estimated at present. It seems.
like the “beginning Of the end.” Lee seems
to have thrown his whole force, and. staked
the issues V‘of success on this mOvement.-—
Richrnond‘ is left comparatively defenceless, ‘
audio said to'be strongly and closely invest-
ed by our Army under General Dix. . And
‘ if it is true, as we have reason to believe,
that Lee’s army is effectually hemmed in,
and cut off from retreat, by our forces, and
the destruction of his pontoon bridge, then
indeed ~ the chances of the confederates are
extremely gloomy. ' With Richmond invest-

ed,-—their lines of communication cut Off—.- .

their supplies interrupted,—-and their people
deanoralized,—with Lee’s army hemmed in
where escape. seems impossible, and its en-
tire ‘su'rrender. probable—with Vicksburg
and Burt Hudson 3held as in a vice,—we are
prépared"to hear at any. moment, that J eff.
- Dazishas taken his departure,-‘and left, the
dreary domains of. his Confederacy to suc-

cumb at discretion.~ _ .
—
Beath of Blend-Col. Fowler.
While the news of Victory thrills all hearts,

producing general rejoicings among our peO-_ ‘

ple, we are 'called upon to estimate its value
by a few items or cost presented for our con-
sideration. “ With a‘ great pm‘oe (said the

Roman; officer to Paul,) purchased I this ‘

freedom.” VWith a great price of treasure
and blood, have we purchased this Victory.
Aniong the brave and noble officers who
have fallen in this battle, that their Country
might survive, is Lieut.-Colonel Doucms
Fowmnt, of the 17th Conn. Regiment. One
of ~ the bravest of the brave—every inch a
Soldier. . This sad intelligence will bring
sorrow to manya family in Norwalk where
he was personally known, and to many oth-
ers‘whose sons or brothers he has again and
again led into battle. '

The noblel’i’th had but recently lost one
of themost accomplished Officers of the army
in the death of Lieut.~COl. Walters, whose
death on the battle-field of Chancellorsville
overwhelmed his friends with sadness, and
now it is called to part with his successor,
who 'fell while leading his braves to Victory.

We are also pained to hear that Captain
Moon, of the same regiment, has fallen.
Capt. Moore was from Danbury,—a brave
andaccomplished officer. But he has pour-
ed out his blood as a sacred libation’ upon
the altar of Freedom; May his memory be
so precious to us, as his character was pure
and -'noble.

Liberty is a costly thing .’
without Liberty ?

We trust that when the remains of the he-

But what is life

roic ram shall: be brought home for in- ‘

torment, Norwalk and vicinity will take oc-
union to .pay t such respect as his brave
deedsaand heroic death in defence of. our
Liberties so justly entitle them.
_
03' Rev. ARTHUR T. Pmnsox, at present
supplying the Pulpit of the First Congrega-
tional Church, preached last Sabbath even-
ingin the Methodist Church, a truly able and
eloqneht sermon on Patnbtz'sm as a Christian
Virtue. The speaker selected that beautiful
Psalm, 122d, -“ Pray for the Peace of J crusa-
lem,” due, as _ the text Of_ his discourse, and
prayed most clearly that the pious David
prayed for an dtaught the duty of seeking
the peace and prosperity of the J udean cap-
tal‘ as among the highest and most sacred
duties of life. He forcibly illustrated a pure
patriotism as unselfish and incompatible
with a mean avarice or ambition. If person-
al poverty, exile, or even death he the price
at which alone :the general welfare can be
secured, the price is paid,—wealth, love,’life
are 'laid upon the altars of one’s native land.
This’point embraced the relations of Patri-
otism to oneself. The speaker then proceed-
ed tospeak of its next widest. range, in its

relations to Nationality, then thirdly to flu:

manity. But the last argumentvfor the exer-
cise'of the duty of Patriotism was that sug-
gested in the Psalm containing the text,“Be-
cause Of the House of the Lord, our God.”

‘ Dearer than self should be the Nation; dear-

' er than the Nation, the World; dearer even
thanthe World, the Kingdom of Christ.—
The “discourse concluded with an eloquent
exlfd'fiation to pray for our land, not only as
thaws of our liberties but as the shrine of
our‘Religio'n, and’that when the pledge was
given-to our country, a yet nobler pledge
should bindns to the Church of God.

day, at the Treasurer’s Office in Hartford:

The whole amount of bids was $2,700-_
'000 at rates varying from par to» 115.

the Tribune says :——" It is positively sta-
ted by a person who derives his informa-
tion through. channels not easily accessi-
ble, but generally found to be trustwor-
thy, that the invasion of the N orth is the
work of copperheads orVPeace Democrats;
that this traitorous'faction visited Rich-
mOnd and urged Jeff. Davis to march an
army into Pennsylvania and lay waste
her fields and burn her towns. This, the
copperhead messenger said, was theouly
road to victory for the Southf.

J uly 1, 1863, cia Murfrecsboro, July 2
Major-Gen. HALLECK, General Vin-Chief
I telegraphed you on Sunday, the oc-
cupation of Shelbyville and Manchester.
On Monday, it rained hard all day,

rendering the roads impassable. It was

morning, when a general advance was
ordered.
Gen. Thomas yesterday made a recon--
noissance on two roads, and Gen. Mc.
Cock on one road, reporting theenemy in
force at this place, with the addition Of
Buckner’s Division, which arrived Mon-
day Evening. ' ‘ . .-
On advancing this morning it was found V_
that the enemy had fled- in haste last‘
night, much demoralized, leaving. strong
fortifications, a small quantity of stores,
and- three siege guns in our'possession.

They took the direction Of Winchester,
Tennessee. Gen. Thomas should be on:
their flank to-night. Gens. Sheridan and
Brannon marched into town at 11 1-2-to-
day, taking a few prisoners.

W. S. ROSECRANS, Major Gen.‘

A correspondent of the Tribune, under.
date of J one 30, gives the following ac-
count of movements of Rose‘crans’s army,
just preyious to the occupation of Talla-
homa : .

division then charged through and push-
ed rapidly into town. The rebels took
position in the public square with artille-
ry, and a charge was then made by the'
7th and 9th Pennsylvania. cavalry into
the teeth of their guns, which were cap-
tured. At the same time, the 4th Rage
ulars and the 3d Indiana galloped into
their flank near the upper bridge Of Duck
River. The enemy was completely routed
and driven into the river, where a bun-
dred of them were drowned. The Rebel
Gen. Wheeler escaped on feet. Sixty or
seventy Officers and 700 prisoners were
taken. Our loss was 6 killed and 30 or
‘40 wounded. . .

Col. Wilder’s cavalry expedition to the
rear of Bragg’s Army at Tullahom‘a has
also just returned, bringing reports Of
equally successful work. With his bri-
gade of mounted infantry he started on
Sunday the 28th.inst., went to Hillsboro,
thence to Dechard, swam Elk River and
crossed with his howitzers on a raft, ma-
king 50 miles the same day. He tore up
the track, burnt the cars, and the depot

work. At daylight of-JMojiday he stare.
ed up to the Southern Humanity, where
be divided his force. F‘ ' --

One portion was sent to, strike the rail-
road at Tantalon, while .,Wilder wont to
strike it at Anderson. Therehhe found
Buckner’s whole division» on a train of
cars going up from Knoxvilleto Tullaho:
ms, and fell back, in the meanwhile tear;
ing up the railroad from Cowan to Tracy
City. The Rebels meanwhile having sent
a powerful force to intercept him, he
struck through the mountain and return-
ed to Manchester, which he reached to»
day. He took and paroled a number of
prisoners and captured a lot of mules.
The damage done to the railroad is very
serious, but would have been more so if
the rivers had not been so high. The
expedition made 126 .miles in two days
and a half. .

“- We copy the following notice of
the death of the Rev. Tnoms S. Bnmmr,
from the Valley Gkaner, Lee, Mass. He
was well known and much esteemed in
tnis vicinity, having been for a number of
years the respected pastor of the Wilton
Congregational Church, and for several
years the Principal of the South Norwalk
Union School.
Death ofCapt. 'l‘. s. Bradley.
Our community was shocked on Sun-
day last, at learning of the death of Capt
Thomas S. Bradley, formerly of this town
Capt. Bradley was in command Of the
9th company of New York State Sharp-
shooters, which went into service in Octo-
ber latt,'and most of the time since then
have been stationed at Snfi'olk, Va.,
where be contracted a fever. He 'was
taken seriously ill, and was removed to
Philadelphia; there he was met by his
wife, who cared for him until his death,
which took place on Sunday morning last,
Jun'e 28th .—His body was received in
town on Tuesday, and on Wednesday his
funeral was attended from the Congrega-
tional Church, by. a large concourse of

 

and also by the Masonic Order, of which
he was a member. The exercises at, the,
grave, by the Brethren of the Order, were
very interresting and impresive. ;

Capt. Bradley was a native Of this
town, and a graduate Of Williams Col-
lege, of the class of 1848. He after—
wards studied Theology, and for several
years was pastor Of the Congregational
Church at Wilton, Ct. .At the time of
his enlistment he was acting as Pastor of
the Congregational Church at New Lab.-
anon, N. Y., but his heart being filled
with the love of his country, he enlisted to
fight its enemies, and immediately formed
a company, mostly from his own congre-
gation, and he was invited to take the
command of it. He was greatly beloved
by the men under his charge, for whom be
manifested great attachment, attending
upon the sick with his own hands, and ap-
pointing careful nurses to watch over
them, until he himself came to need the
same kind attentionwhich he so freely
awarded to Others. - During his sickness
he was cheerful in view of his final de-
parture to meet that Saviour in whose
service he had been so faithfullyengaged;
and expressed no regret at theaacrifice
he wascalled to make in behalf of his
He gave full ‘ directions
for his funeral, and then,£hayir‘,-gfought

Mr. Gilbert of Danbury thought -it

that. the members should attend the fu-

Mr. Eaton did not understand this
great package. He did not suppose that
in thc‘exammotion of accounts it repaired

port; but that the various expenditures
’should be looked intosnflicieutly. to de-

Resolution that when the House ad— .

 
 
 

._ Then the bill was taken up by sections,
and Mr. Eaton enquired of the chairman
what the number to be enrolled under the
bill wouldibe

Mr.. wright said that the estimate
was 32,600 in the first class. The ex—

 

' emptious wull amount to about one half—

not less than two-fifths. If they amount
to one half we shall have 16,000 men,
after the anuliflS are sifted out, and out.
of these the draft will come He believes
the bill will raise about 10,000 men.

Mr. Eaton put the number to be 40,-
000; .he said in the opinion of many men
After deducting
invalids, etc., we shall have 25,000 fit for
duty. He submitted that the State did
not desire .to go to the expense of the
equipping 'so many men, and the House
should ponder long before consenting to
do so. '

Mr. Rice of Farmington, said, suppose
we do equip 25,000; its cost will be
nothing in comparison to the safety of
the State, and the aid we shall be able
to render to our sister States.

Mr. Eaton moved to amend so as to
give the General Assembly power to ap-
point a Major General instead of vesting
the power solely in the Senate. Carried,
118 to 24.

Mr. Hubbard moved to amend so that
the Brigadier General shall be elected by
the field Oflicers of regiments.

[Mn Sterling in the chain]

Amendment supported by Mr. Eaton
and Mr. Hubbard.

Speaker Cleveland said that in his ex-
perience it were better that the Briga—
dier should be appointed by the Major
General, for that officer cannot certainly
be influenced by party motives, beause
the efliciency of his command rests upon
the capabilities of his Brigadiers. He
was therefore in favor of the. report. of
the committee and Opposed to the amend-
ment, which he spoke against at length.

Further debated by Messrs. Eaton,
Manson andothers, when ‘

Mr. Wright moved to amend the
amendment so as to give the field officers
power to nominate a Major General who
shall be commissioned by the Captain
General.
