More Copperheadism.
In our last, we deprecated and condemned
_the mere arrest and punishment of the igno-
irant rabble in New York, who were stimu-
ilated with whiskey and treasonable teach-
?ings, while the teachers and inciters of the
Emurders and arsons committed, went scott

. ing editorial article in last Tuesday’s N. Y.

Shocking Accident.
Oliver Steele Bishop, son Of George G.
; Bishop, Esq.,ofthia town, while discharging
’* his revolver in his fathers yard, accidental-
.ly shot himself through the head, and al-
most instantly expired. Young Bishop was
'amember of the 27th Regiment and had
_ just reached his home. He was a young
--man of fine abilities and more than ordina-
31y kindness of disposition and a general fa-
‘vorite with all. The singular providence
- which kept him from harm during his active
service in the army of the Union, to return
, home to die an accidental death by his own
hand, is most painfully impressive, and so
deeply afiiictive as 10 commend for his fami-
ly the sincerest sympathy Of our entire com-

There is a great panic in the Ice Market.
;The crop last winter was shorter than usual,
while the demands of the Government Hos-
pitals, and the terrible “ heated term,” have
greatly augmented the demr'vd, and the in-
fer-eased consumption and the rapid melting
,have diminished the small stock on hand in
gen unprecedented manner. At Philadelphia,
for several days, juleps, with ice, went up to
.o. quarter each. Butchers and fish-mongers
ignored the article and Ice Cream Saloons
.“ suspended ” altogether, while 40 cts. per
.lb., it is said, was paid for ice to pack a
icorpse. Mr. John B. Knapp, of Stamford,
and Robert Ells, of Norwalk, have been
ofl’ere'done and two dollars a ton more at
:wholéuale, for all they have, than they are
Sharging their regular customers .for it at re-

: iners even though they sell at a loss, :2“ -
which should be remembered to their ‘ ‘

‘ Frinei‘fil of Col; Chatfleldr"
Our of Nature’s Noblemen,——an honest,
brave, and true man—was buried at Waterf
bur I,‘ on Thursday afternoon last. Col:
John L. Cl‘atfield, as we had just time to an: I
nouncc-last week, died from wounds re-
ceived in the last assault on Fort Wagner.—
His death was sudden and unexpected.
The funeral took place from St. John’s
Church, conducted with the highest military
and civic rites. His body lay in state in the
Church during the forcnoon, and was con-
ducted to its place of scpulchre, in Riverside
Cemetery, by a vast concourse of Military,
Firemen, Masons and Citizens generally.
The services were very solemn and impres-
Sive, and were conducted by Rev. Dr. Clark,
Of St. John’s Church; the funeral discourse
was by the Chaplain of his Regiment, the
Rev. Mr. Woodrufi‘.
Among those present we noticed his Ex-
cellency Gov. Buckingham, Major Gen. Rus-
sell of the State Militia and Staff, Gen.
Robert Anderson of Fort Sumter fame, Gen.
Hunt in charge of the Conscript Camp at
New Haven, Col. Burnham, late of the 22d
C. V., Lieut. Col. Wilcoxson and Major
Bradygof the 17th C. V., the Mayors and
Committees from the Common Councils of
New Haven, Hartford, Middletown and
Bridgeport.
The funeral procession was in charge of
Lieut. Col. Perkins, late of the 14th C. V.,
and was composed of the Waterbury Home
Guard, Governor’s Horse Guards, Grays, and
a squad from the Veteran Grays from New
Haven, Masonic Societies, Firemen, and an
immense train of citizens in carriages.
Rev. Mr. Woodrufi‘, the Chaplain, who
had been associated with him for two years,
gave the highest testimony to the noble
traits of his character, and said that,
“ All who knew him had admiration for
him as the bravest of the brave, a firm chris-
tian, a man Of honorable ambition. He was
a man ambitions for the best interests of his
regiment and of his State. True to himself,
he was first among the foremost to answer
the call of duty.”
Thus has another Hero and Patriot de-
parted from among us, one whose loss will
be deeply regretted by all who knew him.
He was a modest and unassuming man, but
firm and steadfast in the discharge of his
duty.

A Letter to Irishmen.
A most remarkable and singularly kept
letter from the great O’Connell, written
twenty years ago, has just come to light, and
appears in the “ Catholic Telegraph,” of
August 5th. The Telegraph says:
“We publish today, to the exclusion of
much important matter, the famous letter of
O‘Connell to a Committee of our citizens
who rebuked him for his Anti-Slavery Opin-
ions. The document has been concealed for
twenty years by a well-known Democrat, to
whom we are indebted for it. We invite our
Irish Catholic brethren to read it attentively;
and if any one wishes _to see the manuscript,
which is beautifully written, and the signa-
ture Of O'Connell, the can be accommo-
dated at the Office of T Telegraph."
We believe there are many others besides
Irishmen who can read this letter with ad-
vantage tO their understanding. We shall
give it a place on our outside next week.

killed in the late attack of the Federal forces
_On Fort Wagner; (Morris Island,) on the 17th
ult. Mr. G. joined the above regiment as a
private, about two years since, and soon after
was promoted to a corporal. His regiment
being the foremost in the assault received
the deadly fire which the rebels held in re-
serve for our gallantpsoldiers on that occa-
sion, and as Mr. G. has not been seen or heard
of since, he doubtless perished at that time.
Mr. G. was a young man, hardly 21 years of
age, of irreproachable character, a kind son,
an affectionate brother, a brave and faithful
soldier and a true Christian.

and in several towns in our OWn State,
where the attempt has been'made to obtain

Be Careful.
Since the recent outbreak in New York,
which seems to have spawned the country
full of burglars and thieves, there is proba-
bly scarce a family in town that has not
some sort of fire arm about the house. We
appeal to all such to exercise the utmost
caution in their keeping. About half the
patent pistols in use are sure to go Off when
you least expect them to and too much
care cannot be exercised.

ed of leading the mob in the assault on the
Tribune ofiice in New York was on Thurs-

and fined $25 ~ e stoutly asserted that he
was innocent; and had been convicted on
false evidence. He is said to be a native of
Maryland, and to have formerly been in the

expected Decision. .
A few days since the Governor inquired
of the Provost Marshal at Washington,
“ whether a sub-district which has furnished
a surplus of volunteers on all former calls
equal to the number now ordered can be re-
lieved from the fo.m of the present draft,"
to which he received the following reply:
“ No district will be exempt from draft.
When it shall be shown that a sub-district
has furnished an excess, then a number equal
to that excess will be discharged from ser-
vice. The whole number furnished with
their names from the sub-district must be
shown, and the names compared with the
muster-in rolls in the War Department.
When there it is verified the whole number
found to have been mustered in, it. must be
compared with their total quota, duly veri-
fied, and the difference determined.”
It will be readily seen that some time will
be required to make out a list Of the names
of all the volunteers from the several towns
in Connecticut, and some months to compare
it with the records of the War Department.
Until this. shall be done none will be dis-
charged from the draft on the ground that
the town to which the drafted person be-
longs has furnished a surplus. There will
be no practical difference between towns
which have and those which have not fur-
nished a‘ surplus. Each and every drafted
man will be regarded as owing serviceto the
general government, and a deserter, unless
he shall be exempt, either on account Of
physical inability, or by furnishing a substi-
tute, or by paying three hundred dollars, or
for some other cause specified in the law,
within ten days of the time he is lawfully
notified that he is drafted.

Superior Court.
The August Term of the Superior Court
commenced last week in Danbury before
Judge James Phelps. The first case called
before the Jury was that of
Evelina E. Bailey es. Town of Tmmbell.
In January, 1860, the plaintiff, who isa
young lad about 17 years of age, with a
numbero other young ladies and ntle-
men was going from ridgeport to onroe
in a four horse omnibus to attend a dance.
In descendingahill the vehicle was over-
turned, the plaintifl' thrown out, and, as she
claimed, severely injured. The place where
the injury occurred was in the town of
Trumbull and belonged to the defendant to
keep in repair. The plaintiff claimed that
the accident was occasioned by the defective
condition of the road, there being, as she
claimed, a rock in the centre of the road,
over which the omnibus ran when it was
turned over. As this occurred in the even-
ing and there was snow upon the ground,
the obstacle could not be seen. The defend-
ant claimed that the accident was caused by
the negligence of the driver in carelessly
driving into the ditch which was ,considera—
bly lower than the travelled path and that
the omnibus did not in any way comein
contact with the rock.
Verdict not yet rendered.
For plaintiff, G. H. Hollister and Beards-
ley ; for defendent, Belden and Loomis.
The Court then adjourned to Tuesday
next (one week from today) when the case
of John A. Weed cs Byington, in which
Weed claims title (‘3) to a portion of the
ground covered by the GAZETTE BUILDING,
will be called up for trial.

that stronghold. He sums up the casualties
in the various battles, as follows:
Killed. Wounded. Missing.

“ Of the wounded many were but slightly
wounded, and continued on duty; many
more required but a few daysor weeks for
their recovery. Not more than one-half the
l wounded were permanently disabled.”
The loss, it will be seen, is very small,
considering the length Of the siege, the Oh-
stinate resistance of the rebels at Vicksburg,
and the severity of the battles on the march
to the rear Of that city.

MEssris. EDITORS :—It is "time for this
humbug to be exploded. A town meeting
has voted to pay to each accepted drafted
man from Norwalk $300. The vote is pc-
cuniarily as worthless as the motives which
led to its passage were treasonable or cow-
ardly.’ A town meeting nas not the power
to appropriate the money of citizens to any
such purpose. Every man is bound to help
pay the expenses of his Government, and,
when needful, to fight in its defence. Taxes
and drafts are the appropriate modes by
which these obligations are enforced. One
man has to pay an income-tax, while his
neighbor has to go the W9! “It is the sim-
ple performance of a duty .1. ~miller case. It
is just as competent for afpwn meeting to
vote to pay the iiicome tax from the Treasury,
as it is vote to give each conscript $300.
Either vote would be void. ~
We have always had a draft four times a
year. As the Courts come on, the Constable
goes to the J ury-box and draws out the re-
quisite number for Jurors. He notifies the
persons drafted to appear at the Courtnon
the first day of the term, or be subject to
penalties. It is a hard duty that this con-
script has to perform. He has to leave his
family and business; to sit in an ill-ventil-
ated Court-room all day, and keep awake
while prosy lawyers are talking at him.
Now, suppose the town, four times-a year,
to assemble and gravely vote to give its
J urymen $100 each for simply obeying the
precept of the law and appearing at Court
in obedience to the Constable’s precept !
We advise the selectmen to be careful in
giving “orders” or meddling in “ loans "
under this vote, and capitalists to fight shy
of bonds given on such a consideration:

Another Hero Gone; ,
WESTPORT, CT., Aug. 13th, 1803.
Yesterday the funeral obsequies OfGeorge
Guernsey, of Co. C, 17th Regiment C. V.,
were held in the Methodist Church, in this
town. He died at the Hospital, in West
Philadelphia, from wounds‘received at the
late battle of Gettysburg. The writer of this
had known him long and intimately, tented
with him during the last winter, and can
bear willing and sure testimony to his many
virtues, asa man and a soldier. One year
ago the cause of our country looked dark-l
Our armies had suffered reverses, and the re-
bellion seemed to be making headway. The
President in order to meet the great and
pressing exigencies of the occasion called
for six hundred thousand men. Mr. Guern-
sey was one of those who in that dark hour,
came forward. and Offered himself to his
country. Actuated at that time by none but
the highest and purest motives, he willingly
sacrificed the comforts of civil lifc,the fond en-
dear-meats of home, and bidding adieu to
his young partner in life, he left with his
regiment to obey the stern dictates of duty.
As a soldier he was always prompt and
faithful in the discharge of his duty; as a
christian gentleman he was ever kind, ex-
emplary, and strictly conscientious. Indeed.
it has never been my fortune to meet with a
man more strictly honest than George
Guernsey. He leaves behind a wife and
child who have lost a kind and affectionate
protector. May He “ who tempers the wind
to the sham lamb ” be a husband to the
widow and a father to the fatherless. ,

testimony to his great moral worthas a man, -
and as a fellow soldier. Surrounded 'at'home
as he was, (both relatively and pecuniarily,)
by all the ties which give to life its charm,
he went forth in the service of his country
from motives of the purest. patriotism. His
amiability and generosity drew around him
a large circle of devoted friends, who will
sincerely mourn that his young life is so
soon terminated. Hiscare and. devotion to
the sick and wounded . soldier, will be most
gratefully remembered-by many an one,

hands of young “ OL.” Our commoncoun-

The Siege of Charleston.
An officer just returned from Charleston
confirms our previous statements that the
taking of Charleston is to be a matter of
time. He says it is next to impossible to
batter down Fort Wagner; that the many
keep under the bomb-proofs, upon which our
shot and shell produce no effect; that the
only way the fort can be carried is by direct
assault, which will not at present beattempt-
ed. The chances for knocking Fort Sumter
to pieces are better; indeed, it is generally
believed there that that fort will speedily
fall. If it falls, our forces cannot occupy it,
as it will be battered to pieces. Even should
we take Forts Sumter and Wagner, the other
forts have got to be overcome, and the
rebels, who are as busy as bees day and
night, are erecting battc'il'y alter butter on
the wa to Charleston. he military orce
is not earned sufficient, and will have to be
largely reinforced before the finale 1353011-
summated. The public may at once divest
themselves of the idea that any startling
news is ta come from Charleston at present.

—Brig.-Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren, Chief
of Engineers in the Arm of the Potomac,
has been made a Major- eneral. No move
meats of a general character have transpired
for some time in the army. ' The weather is
intensely hot—the earth is dry and parched

--An En lish doctor arrived at Fortress
Monroe on ednesday from Richmond. He
says he left Richmond last Saturday. He
reports that there are no troops, not even a
guard, in.Sufi'olk; also that there are no
troops in Richmond, but the streets are filled
with rebel officers. He saw no gunboats in
the harbor at Richmond, but knows that
they are building two iron-clads, though he
does not know how far they were advanced.
The doctor was in Richmond. five Weeks,
and complains of the high price of board,
$120 per week, and hard are at that.

presses strong condemnation of the course
the North Carolinians are pursuing in call-
ing a mass convention of the Unionists of
North Carolina for the purpose Of sendin a
delegation to Washin ' n, D. C. The n-
qm'rer speaks hopeful y of Charleston, and
claims that the works of battery Wagner
have been strengthened.
The report of the Operation Of the Ar-
my of the Tennessee from the day Gen.
Grant assumed immediate command of
the expedition against Vicksburg, to the
surrender of that place, is published in
the oficial Gazette. He says that it is
a striking feature, so far as his observa-
tion goes, of the present volunteer army
of the United States, that there is noth-
ing which men are called upon to do, me-
chanical or professional" that accomplish-
ed adepts cannot be found for the duty
required, in almost every regiment. He
cannot close his report without an expres-
sion of thankfulness for his good fortune
in being placed in co-Operation with an
officer of the navy who accorded to eve-
ry movement that seemed for the interest
and success of our arms, his hearty and
energetic support.
Gen. Burnside’s old 9th army corps

What 'opposition to the Draft means,
is perfectly understood on both sides of
the Atlantic. Witness the following out-
givings of eminent “Conservative” jour-
nals received by the last steamer:
From the (London) Times, July 27.
* * '* But at this very time,
when the hosts of Mr. Lincoln have
achieved something of the success which
the mere force of overpowering numbers
must ultimately command, when the Nor-
thern press is most triumphant, and the
.Waskington politicians most elated, the
people are expressing their disgust at the
war in a way which, if, persisted in, must
be fatal to its further prosecution on the
same scale. The riots in New York, of
which we received hasty intelligence last
mailare evidently little less than an in-
surrection. A mob of many thousand
men, 'armed with muskets, bludgeons,
pik'es', [brickbats, and railroad iron, who
are “ in possession of the city," are not
to be considered a mere band of rioters.
Nothing but the must indignant discon-
tent with the proceedings of the Govern-
ment could have roused. such a storm of
resistance. Even the obstinacy of Mr.
Lincoln seems to have felt the necessity
of giving way, and it is said he has tele-
graphed to New York to suspend the
draft. If that be (me, it will be hopeless
to enforce it, for such an example is infec-
tions, and other cities in the North are
not likely to submit to a conscription
which they have only to resist forcibly to
escape. . It would‘of been strange indeed
if the American people had submitted
the most despotic Goverment of the con-
tinent. But if Mr. Lincoln can only re-
cruit his armies by conscription, and if
Ville mscriplion fails, his Government will
have collapsed at the very crisis of its poli-
cy The hopelessness of the enterprise is
never more evident than at a time when it
seems most promising. The' war fails to
unite the jarring factions of the bewilder-
ed people, audfthey seem roused at the
last extremity. only to the determination
that it promises no result worth the price
they are asked to pay.
From The (London) Morning Post, July 27.
' * . * a During the past week
intelligence has reached Europe of some
of the most severe reverses as 'yet sus-
tained by the Southern Confederacy. The
fall Of Vicksburg and of Port Hudson,
with the loss of the command of the Mie-
sisslppi, independently of their impor-
tance, strategetically considered might be
considered ominious, if the war was, one
which continued to be regarded with fa-
vor in the North. If a war he only pro-
tracted long enough, it is a matter'of ar-
rithmeticul demonstration that the belig-
ere'ut possessing. the more numerous pop-
ulation-will eventually prove victorious.
Saw a war, however, the North by its refusal
to assent to a wnwriplwn, has unmista
evinced its determination not to carry on.
Although,therelore, the psesent aspect
of affairs in America may appear gloomy
for the Southern . Confederacy, and may
indicate the soundness of the policy pur-
sued by the British Government, still we
may be permitted to hope that, before
the reassembling of Parliament, peace
will be restored between the belligerent
federations, and that the new league, may
obtain from the parent stern, and from the
rest, of the world, the recognition of it; in-
W.
Here. you see ,the leading Rebel orn-
cles inEurope exulting over the Riots in
NewYork‘and their falsely asserted reflect
in‘. causing President Lincoln to back out
of the Draft, as insuring the triumph of
the Rebels, For, they correctly argue,
if the Draft is given up in one locality, it
.must be given up universally ; so the War
must collapse, the Rebels recover their
lost ground, and the Confederacy be rec-
ognized and'eotobliehed. .

Preparations he
sin.
A St. Pctcrsburg letter of July 25th, in the
Herald, details extensive preparations ma-
king by Russia for the contemplated even-
tuality of war with the three powers and
Turkey and Sweden. A new levy is 'or-
deer on the scale of ten men in every thou-
sand, which would hc completed at the end
of the year, and add 300,000 to the army.
By spring Russia will have a million of
men under arms. Fortified camps have
been erected in Finland, the works of Swea-
borg greatly strengthened, and a line of bat-
teries is gradually stretching along the whole
seaboard of the Gulf of Finland. The
greatest attention is paid to the defenses of
Constadt. under the superintcudance of Tod-
leben. The northern channel is completely
blocked up, and the only accessible entranCe
is defended by hundreds of guns of the heavi-
est calibre. Reports at the date of the let-
ter spoke of the recall of the Russian min-
isters at Vienna, London and Paris, and the
crash might be sooner than was expected.

. The Ice Panic.
The long continuance of the extreme heat
is an event which the ice dealers, more than
any other class Of people, are found unpre-
pared to meet. It has completely disap-
pointed their calculations and destroyed their
anticipations of a season of moderate de-
mand, which would have enabled them to
supply the market from the short crop of
last winter.
During the past ten days the price of ice
has risen from an average of forty to fifty
cents a cwt. to one dollar, and in some cases
to one dollar and twenty-eight cents a cwt. -
and there is a prospect that the price will
continue to increase in case this weather
holds, for ice wastes rapidly in such ex-
treme heat. The market supply, at best, is
already so far exhausted as to render it a se-
rious question, whence the supply of ice is
to come for the remainder of the summer.
We learn that little or no ice was put
away at any point-south of this city last
winter, and as a consequence a heavy draft
is made upon our market from Pennsylva-
nia; while Baltimore, Washin n and other
places are receivin their supp ice from Bos-
ton and Maine. 11 Philadelphia ice is sel-
ling for two cents a pound. In Hartford, the
present price is one cent a pound, or eighty-
four cents a week for twalve pounds a day.
A few weeks ago hotels and other large
consumers in this city were supplied with
ice at six dollars per ton; but on Wednes-
day last the figures took an upward tendency
and gradually rose to eight dollars. Butch-
ers, grocers, fish-mongers, die, have hitherto
been supplied at from forty to fifty cents a
hundredweight; but the figure has now
risen to one dollar and upwards—Evening

LOUIsIANA AND THE UNION—Gen. Shep-
ley, Military GovernOr of Louisiana; recent-
ly addressed a large public meeting at Port-
land, Me. To him the restoration of that
State does not seem difiicult. He is willing
to trust her loyal citizens to settle the slavery
question. No offer has been made by the
State to return to allegiance; no committee
has spoken authoritatively. He said:
“ The Government had done everythin
in their power to welcome Louisiana bac
into the Union. Gen. Butler for a lon time
permitted the New Orleans authorit ea ,to
govern the city, until all hopes were lost of
inducing them to return to their allegiance.
If Louisiana had chosen she might have re-
turned into the Union and never have known
the evils of war. He wished to vindicate
the Government frOm the aspersion that any-
thing but the most cordial hand of Welcome
had been held out to the return of any State
to the Union. Louisiana would return to
the Union; and in the same mode we could
win back all the rebel States. First, put
down all the rebel arms; then depose their
self-constituted governments, and give time
for the people to recover from the pressure
to which they have been subjected. We
must sustain them until able to stand alone.
We must put the civil authorit in the ha'nds
of loyal and true citizens. e must put
down their evil combination, and breathe
into’their atmosphere a brighter and purer
air.

forth the following interesting “asserts
for historical societies and financier
prove or disapprove.”
There are in the United States more
and estates that can be assessed for one
lion dollars each, than there was at the.
of the Revolutidn that could be asse
for ten thousand dollars each.
The cash value Of the property of the l
ted States (excluding the States in rebellii
is one hundred times what it was in all t . E
States at the close Of the Revolution.
The gold and silver in the United States
isone hundred to one at the close of the
Revolution.
Joint stock companies—bank, insurance,
railroad, steamboat, manufacturing, &c., are
as one thousand to one at the close of the
Revolution.
The annual product of gold and silver that
enters into and braces our currency and
credit is as five hundred to one at the close
of the Revolution.
A Spanish quarter-dollar was of more
importance in the eyes of the people then
than a double eagle is now.
The country, as the basrs for borrowmg
and paying, is more than one hundred times
reater than at the close of the Revolution.
€Vhere, then, is the point in likening our
Government currency and securities to
Continental money ?
Old and first-class nations are able to sus-
tain immense debts—see England and
Franco—while new and minor nations are
classed as Of doubtful future, and shunned
by money lenders.
We are now a first-class nation. At the
close of the Revolution we were the young-
est and smallest of all nations.
The power to sustain a debt is as the cube
of the base on which the debt rests. This
holds good with national, corporate and in-
dividual payers.
A trader with athousand dollars capital
is hardly considered trustworthy for any
balance on account. A merchant with a
million of capital is trusted with any num-
ber of other millions.
A bank of small capital is hardly consid-
ered safeto send a moderate collection to;
whereas a two million bank is considered a
safe depository for twelve or fifteen millions,
all payable on demand.
With nations the same parallel holds
good. This country can better sustain a
debt of two thousand millions now than it
could one of a hundred thousand at the time
of Continental money.
