The Draft for Norwalk and
, New Canaan!
The long expected draft for this sub-dis

‘ rict comprising the towns of Norwalk and

New Canaan, will take place at Bridgeport
on Saturday next, the 12th inst, commence-
ing at 10 o’clock in the forenoon. The Mar-

~ shal has made an urgent appeal to Head

Quarters to have the two towns seperated
in the drawing, but his request has been
denied. This result is rendered less objec-
tionable'howcver from the hard fact that.

‘ no advantage is to accrue 'to either town on

acbbunt of their excess. Nevertheless the
petition for a separate drawing was a rea-
sonable one and doubtless would not have
been denied except for the best of reasons,
though we are ignorant of the nature of
the objections.

Consrdcz'ablc disappointment is, we are
told, m‘nti‘mdin New Canaan at this re.
suit, but as everything has been done to of.
feet the separate drawing, that could be
done, the friends of the government there,
as elsewhere, will make the best of the

’ seeming hardships.

In this connection we desire to call at-
mntion tothe matter of town beauties. In
many towns in the State, Bounties of $300,
and of a less amount, have been voted in

.f aid of the objects of the draft. In other

towns, where a majority could be trumped

1 up, unfriendly to the Government and the
purposes of the draftas a necessary means
‘ for the suppression of the rebellion, quite

a different seriesof resolutions have been

. voted. These votes bear a most remarka-

ble similarity in their phraseology, their dia-
loyalty and illegality. “ Town Orders" have
also been issued under these last named

: votes and bandied about at all sorts of dis-

counts and shaves, none at par, so far as we
have been alle to learn. A vote of this

.‘ latter character was passed here in Nor-

walk. Many candid men honestly sustain-

T editin town meeting, yet who can doubt
1 that the originators of that movement knew

it to be a cheat and a fraud, and that “Town

Z Orders” issued on such a vote would not be

worth the paper upon which they were writ-
ten 1’ It may have served the doubtful poli-
cy of allaying a temporary excitement by
duplicity, but otherwise is deseaving only of

‘ contempt. The near approach of the draft
4 renders this question of relief one of prac-

tical importance at this time and it should

I be humanely and patriotically considered.

1

Such an appropriation as should at'd instead

; of flmart the purposes of the governmet,
', while it would lighten the rigor of the draft,

{ the taxpayrrs.

!

could not only be legally voted, but would,
we believe, meet the general approbation of
An appropriation condi-
tioned we: the manner of that made by the

. New York Board of Supervisors, would
' commend itsc f to the favor and judgement
' of every loyal citizen, we are confident.
. Let our best citizens seriously consider this
', most important measure, preparatory to

public action thereon.

This case, to which we alluded to last
week, still drags its slow length along.
She Court was occupied with it last week,
and on . vening of the Court yester-
day it was resumed. It has progressed

the 5..., “my. As we stated, it is an
action r" . jectmeut to recover the premi-
':s 15 ‘1: known as the “Gazette
Billit'llup, Au three hundred dollars
damages for the detention of the proper-
ty. plaintiff claims title to the property
through one John Burrall, a former resi-
dent of Norwalk, and who was widely
known throughout our country for his wit,
the strength of his lungs, and his eccen-
tricities. The plaintiff claimed to trace
Burrails title back so far that Court, J u-
ry and all hands would seem to stand a
fair chance of becoming accomplished an-
tiquarians. In 1854 the great freshet
swept away the old dam, east of and ad-
joining the disputed premises. Some of
the principal citizens of Norwalk immedi-
ately thereafter procured an act of incor-
poration authorizing them to purchase
the old mill and whatever other property
might be necessary to improve that part
of the village. Among other land, that
company claimed to have purchased the
premises in question, which it was claimed
by the construction which ought to be
given to one of the ancient deeds, passed
to it. In 1856 the defendants took a
perpetual lease of the premises from the
company, and immediately proceeded to
erect the building. The defendant claimed
that the plaintiff had never acquired any
title to the property, and that neither he
nor any of those through whom he claim:
ed title had never made any claim of own-
ership until the defendants commenced
the erection of their building and that
whether they had any title or not the
rule of law is that the plaintiff must re-
covcr_on the strength of his own title,
and not upon the weakness of that of’ his
adversary. In connection with this they
offered evidence that. for the purpose of
carrying out the objects of the company,
among others the plaintiff subscribed
$150, one of those objects being the pur~
chase of this very property. They fur-
ther insisted that the conveyance to the
plaintiff did not embrace the Gazette
property, but by the very terms of it, ex-
tendedonly up to the westliue of it. A
large number of legal questions were in-
volved and ably discussed. The case is
one of interest to the parties, and espec-
ially to the defendants, for if unsuccess-
ful, their propertv, on which they had ex~
pended between $30,000 and $40000
would be entirely swept away ,- and they
seemed to think that the plaintifi‘ in de-
mandiog but $300 damugns in a case in-
volving interests of such magnitude,—
showed that he was exceedingly generous
towards them. Verdict not yet rendered.

Rebel Barbarity.

An acting Ensign in the U. S. Navy, who
returned to his home in Norwaik on the
31st ult. from the U. S. Naval Hospital in
New Orleans, (in the U. S. Steamer Bermu-
do to Philadelphia,) gives our citizens a nar-
rative of the treatment which he received
from the rebels, while he was prisoner in
their power, which will form another chap-
ter of a history of cruelty and inhumanity,
illustrative of the demoralizing influence of
slavery. It is commended to the sympathi-
zers with Secession in this country and Eu-
rope. Perhaps the London Times will no-
tice it. This young man was captured with
a party of eleven sailors from the U. S.
Gunboat Arizona, who went under his com
mand on shore duty, by an overpowering
force of rebel cavalry, On the 15th of J one,
near Point Coupee on the Mississippi.

He was robbed of his coat, watch and
money; and the sailors were treated in the
same manner. From the morning of the
16th to the morning of the 21st he was
marched from Point Coupee to Alexandria,
La., a distance of 186 miles, being an aver-
age of 37 miles each day; and this,be1t re-
membered, under the summer solstice in
Louisiana.

The only food served out to the party by
the rebels was a daily ration of coarse
corn meal, which they were left to cook in
such way as they could. When they asked
for drink, although the canteens of their
captors were filled with water or milk, they
were left to quench their preyiug thirst
from the puddles or ditches along the road.

Their bed was on the ground without
tents or blankets.

Our young friend thinks he must have
perished but for the faithful and affectionate
care Of an Irish sailor named “ Pat Fagan,’v
who gathered a few corn-stalks or sugar
canes for his bed, when he could and some-
times stole a blanket from a horse to cover
him.

At Alexandria the party were thrown in-
to prison until they were paroled, when
they were marched down to Brashear City.
The whole distance marched by them is said
to be about 600 miles. Before it was com-
pleted, exhausted by toil, exposure and fam-
ine, the party were only fit-to be cast into
arcbcl hospital. Some of the hardy sailors
sank down and died while our Norwalk boy
was attacked by chills and fever and dys-

 

 

 

 

entery. When Brashear City was recap--

tured by the U. S. forces, he was sent to the
Hospital in New Orleans, and thence found
his way home.

His glassy eye, and pale face, and attenu-
ted form attests the severity of the ordeal
through which he has passed; and it must
be a long time before rest and his native air,
with good nursing, will restore his former
health, if it ever be fully recovered.

nouncement of the ca ture of Kingston,

the possession Of Knoxville is a variety.
Should it be true, Chattanooga must follow
very soon, and then we ma add Tennessee
to the reposessed States. It ooks very much
as though the rebels, finding themselves too
weak to cope with Rosecrans and Burnside,
had resolved to abandon the entire West.

the exception of the Chattanooga, region;
and from all the indications afi‘orded‘ by the

fore mauy days we shall learn that this re-
gion has also been abandoned. The conj unc-
tion of the forces of Gene, Rosecrans and
Burnside at Kingston—portions ofboth com-
mans having entered the town together, at its
capture on Wednesday—proves thata com-
bined movement of the two armiesis not on-
ly in progress, but that the iritiatory action
develops a plan of the forthcoming cam-
paigu in Eastern Tennessee which presages
success. Gen. Burnside’s troops reached
Kingston from Lexiu on, Kentucky, mov-
ing southward, and en. Rosecrans forces
marching easterl from Tuliahoma, formed}:

A Clean Sweep.

The Telegraph, says the N. H. Courier,
gives almost too good news from California.
TheiDemocrats of that State had united
their forces, and the copperhead element had
the segacity to put up a respectable candi-
date for Governor. The issue was distinct-
ly made between the Union party and the
allied opposition. q The Unionists have
achieved a most overwhelming and unlock-
ed for success. The suspicion that attached
to respectable Democrats on account of their
alliance with the copperheads, was fatal to
them. They had got into bad company and
had to take the consequences. No procla-
mation of martial law will serve asdplea
to shield the beaten and defeated faction
that used the name Democracy. They had
a free fight and were awfully whipped.
The majority is unprecedented. The true
men of the Democratic party are thus of-
forded another lesson as to their duty.—
They cannot afiilate with the copperheads
with any hope of success or position. The
people are true to the Union and will not
trust, any party that has hanging about it
the politicians suspected of disloyalty. Cali-
fornia has not been a Republican State,
only one-third of its voters were of the Re-
publican party. But it has proved itself an
out-and-out Union State, and a firm sup-
porter of the government.

As in California, so it will be everywhere.
The Fall elections at the East, will boa
hearty response to the glorious voice of the
Far West.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.

The following is President Lincoln’s letter
read at the mass meeting of the uncondi-
tional Union men at Springfield, Illinois,
held Wednesday, the 2d inst:

EXECUTIVE MANsION, WASHINGTON, D. C [-
Au ust 26, 1833. i
To HON. JAMES . CORNING:

MY DEAR SIR—Your letter inviting me
to attend a mass meeting of unconditional
Union men, to be held at the capital. of Iliig
nois on the 3d day of September has been
received. It would be very agreeable to
me thus to meet my old friends at my own
home, but I cannot just now be . absent from
this city so long as a visit there would re-
quire. The meeting is to be of all those
who maintain unconditional devotion to the
Union, and Iam sure that my old political
friends will thank me for tendering as I do
the nation’s gratitude to those noble men,
whom no partizan malice or partizau hope
can make false to the nation’s life.

There are those who are dissatisfiedwith
me. To such I would say, you desire peace and
blame me that we do not have it. But how
can we attain it ‘? There are three conceiva—
ble ways: First, to sup ress the rebellion
by force of arms; this am trying to do.
Are you for it ? If' you are, so far we agree.
If youare not for it, a second way is to give
up the Union. I am a inst this—if you
are you should say so p ainly. If you are
not for force nor yet for dissolution, there
only remains some imaginable compromise.
I do not believe that any compromise em-
bracing the maintenance of the Union is
now possible. All thatl learn leads to a
decidedly opposite belief. The strength of
the rebellion is its military, its army. That
ariny dominates all the country and all the
people within its range. Any offer of terms
made by any man or men wrthiu that range
in Opposition to that army is simply nothing
for the present, because such man or men
have no _- power whatever to enforce their
side of a compromise if one were made
with them. To illustrate : suppose refugees
from the South and peace men of the North
get together in convention and frame and
proclaim a compromise embracing a restora-
tion of the Union. In what way can that
compromise be used to keep Gen. Lee’s ar-
my out of Pennsylvania ? General Mead’s
army can keep Lee’s arm out of Pennsyl-
vania, and, Ithink, can u timately drive it
out Of existence. But no paper compromi-
ses to which the controllers of General Lee’s
army are not agreed can at all affect that ar-
my. In an effort at such compromise we
would waste time which the enemy would
improve to our disadvantage, and that is
all. A compromise to be effectual must be
made either with those who control the
rebel army, or with the people first libera-
from the domination of that army by the
success of our army. Now, allow, me to
assure you that no word or intimation from
the rebel army,'or from any of the men eon--
troling it, in relation to any peace compro-
mise hasever come my knowledge or be-
lief. All charges and intimations to the con-'
trary are deceptive and groundless;and I'
promise you that if any such proposition
shall hereafter come, it shall not be reject-
ed and kept secret from you. I freely ac-
knowledge myself to be the servant of' the
people, according to the bond of service, the
United States Constitution, and as such I am
res ousible to them.

ut to be plain, you are dissatisfied with
me about the negro. Quite likely there is a
difference of Opinion between you and my-
self upon that subject. I certainly wish
all men could be free, while you, I suppose,
do not. YetI have neither adopted nor pro-
posed any measure which is not consistent
with even your views provided you are for
the Union. I suggested compensated eman-
cipation, to which you ' replied that you
wished not to be taxed to buy negroes.
But I had not asked you to be faxed to buy
uegroes, except in such a way as to save
you from greater taxation to save the Union
exclusively by other means; You dislike
the Emancipation Praoelamation and per-
haps would have it retracted. You say it
is unconstitutional; I think different] . I
think that the Constitution invests the cm-
mander-in-Chiet with the law of war in time
,of war. . The most that can be said of so
much is that slaves are property. Is there,
has there ever been any question that by
the law of war, property both of enemies
and friends may be taken when needed, and
is it not needed, whenever taking it helps us
or hurts the enemy. Armies the world
over destroy enemies’ property when they
cannot use it, and even destroy their own
to keep it from the enemy. Civilized bellig-
erents do all in their powor to help them-
selves or hurt the enemy, except a few things
regarded as barbarous or cruel. Among the
exceptions are the massacre of vanquished
foes and non-combatants. male and female.

But the Proclamation as law is valid or
is not valid. If it is not valid it needs no
retraction. If it is valid it cannot be retrct-

to life. Some of you profess to think that
its retraction would operate favorably for
the Union. Why better after the retraction
than before the issue ? There was more
than a year and a half of trial, to suppress
the rebellion before the proclamation was is-
sued, the last one hundred days of which pass-
ed under an explicit notice that it was com-
ing, unless averted by those in revolt re-
turning to their allegiance, The war has
certainly progressed as favorably since the
issue of the proclamation as before. I know
as fully as one can know the ‘o inions of
others, that some of the comman ers of our
armies in the field who have given us our
most important victories, believe the eman-
cipation policy and the aid of colored troops
constitute the heaviest blows yet dealt to
the rebellion, and at least one Of those im-
portant successes could not have been achiev-
ed when it was, but for the aid of black
soldiers. Among the commandants holding
these views ‘are‘ some who never had any
affinityiewitn what is nailed Abolitionism
or “ publican party politics,” bpt who
hold ~thcm purelv as military opinions.‘ I
submit their opinions as being entiiled to

You say you will not fight to free negroes.
Some of them seem willing to. fight for you.
But no matter—fight you then exclusively to
save the Union. issued the proclamation
on purpose to aid you in saving the Union.
Whenever you shall have conquered all re-
sistance to the Union, and Ishal. urge you to
continue fighting, it will be an apt time then
for you to declare that you will not fight to
free negroes. I thought but in your struggle
for the Union, to‘ what ever extent the ne-
negroes should cease helping the enemy, to
that extent it weakened the enemy in his re-
sistance to you. DO you think differently ?
I thought that whatever negrocs could be got
to do as soldiers would leave just so much
the less for white soldiers to do a saving the
Union. Does it appear otherwise to you ?

“’AR NEWS 01“ THE WEEK.

 

——Gcn Burnside telegraphs that he took
Kingston on the 2d inst, with but little se-
rious opposition. This relieves all ofEast-
ern Tennessee, except the Chattanooga re-
gion from Rebel occupation and rule. The
march over the Cumberland Mountains was
slow and exhausting, forage being scarce.
Burnside’s force is chiefly cavalry and
mounted infantry. A strong infantry col-
umn from Rosecrans was to jom them in
the Clinch Valley.
—-—News from Charleston is to the after-
noon of Tuesday, lst inst. Not much prog-
ress has been made during the week by
our forces, but they were gradually closing
upon Fort Wagner, having got within 100
urds. It was expected that on Wednes-
day Geu. Gilmore’s heaviest Parrotts would
be able to deliver a fire at the distance of
200 yards into every embrasure command-
ing the beach, and an enflladin one upon
every gun looking coward. bowels of
grape and cannister will also be poured
upon the gunners the moment they leave
their bomb-proofs and commence. working
their pieces. The Rebels still keep their flag
up on the ruins of Fort Sumter, but the
small garrison would doubtless light their
slow-matches and leave upon the approach
of Union forces. On the slot the Monitors
and Ironsides engaged the Sullivan’s Island
batteries at a distance Of 2,000 yards; not
much damage wasdone. At the same time
our land batteries engaged Fort Wagner,
effecting so much injury that some san-
guine artillerists were of the opinion that
the fort would be in our possession be-
fore the next night. The Rebels in Wag-
ner have much difficulty in ttin water
and provisions, all transportation 0 course.
being done at night. As the operations on
our side are chic y of an engineering char-

_acter, the people must be content to wait

for the inevitable result, as they did in the
pane of Vicksburg, though we hope not so
ong.

are received at Memphis. The expedition of
Mississippi River Steamboats for some point

which had done considerable damage as a
pirate off the West India Islands, has been
seized by the United States District-Attorney
of New Jersey, at one of the wharves at J er-
sey City. She had, about afortnight since,
under the name of the Etta, discharged a car-
go of pineapples at Fulton Market; N. Y

Cumberland were still at Stevenson, Ala., on

MONTPELIER, Via, Tuesday, Sept. 1.
- The election for the choice of Governor,
'Lieut. Governor and Treasurer, three
members of Congress, and members of
the Legislature, took place in this
State to day. Hon. John G. Smith, of
St. Albuns, was the candidate of the Re-
publican Union party and Hon. T. P.
Readfield, of Montpelier, the nominee of
the peace or Seymour Democrats. Not
much interest has been taken in the cam-
pain by the friends of Mr. Smith. The
Democrats have acted differently and
have labored energetically under the hope
of realizing a large gain. In 1861 and
1862,the Democracy had little or no or-
ganization in the State and generally
were absent from the polls and therefore
so far as returns have been received, give
this vote as compared with that of 1860,

when the two wings of the Democracy.

were vigorously trained. The vote of the
State will be about 800 less than in that
year, when it was 48,500. We have re-
turns from 34 towns, comprising about
one fourth of the State. They give Smith
7,525, and Readfield, 3,047. The same
towns in 1860, gave Fairbanks, (Reputr
licau,) 8,373, Saxe and Barney, Doug-
lass and Breckenridge Democrats, 3,663.
Smith’s majority so far is 202 less than
Fairbanks’.

_ Colored Men—A
Letter from Gov. Buckingham.

In reply to a communication on the sub-
ject of raising colored troops in this State,
Gov. Buckingham has written to Mr. E. D.
Bassett the following letter :

STATE on CONNECTICUT,
OFFICE on COMMANDER-mourns;
Nonwrcn, Aug. 21, 1863.

EBENEzER D. BASSETT, Esq—Sir .- I am
in receipt of your communication of the
15th inst, embodying inquiries concerning
the desirableness of afi'ording colored men of
this State an opportunity to enter the Uni-
ted States military semce, the amount of
state pay of such allowed by law, and a
practical plan advisable to adopt to further
the movement most speedily.

It is undoubtedly desirable that the gov-
ernment should be able to avail itself of the
services of all its able bodied men.

In my judgment, the same bounties are
allowed colored men volunteering for three
years’ United States service from this state,
under the same rules and restrictions as to
others. The bounties are thirty dollars (.30)
per annum, and pro rate. for fractions of a

ear, to each man enlisted and mustered
into the United States service; and six dol-
lars ($6) per month payable to the wife of
the enlisted man, together with two dollars
(32) additional per month for every child un-
der fourteen years of age : culled, the to-
tal of wife and family does not exceed ten
dollars (10).

The practical plan of operations in such
casesisto get the provost marshal general to
detail an oflcer to recruit the organization.

Our colored conscripts are by orderfrom
Washington, transferred to the colored bat-
tallion now forming in Rhode Island.

I think I could get the colored volunteers
transferred to the Rhode Island battailion.
This would bepreferabie to their going to
Philadelphia.

I will add, that I would very much like
to have one or more companies of colored
volunteers enlisted from the state, and uni-
ted to the battallion in Rhode Island.
