HEADQUARTERS ARMY' POTonAc, l
CULPEPPER, Va., Sept. 26th, 1863. 5'
- DEAR GAZETTE—With a whole army of
impatient Macawbers,‘for the last ten'da‘ys I
have been “waiting for something to turn
up.” Glorious October days in the heart of
September,—just the days and just the nights
most favorable for any movements. Yet be-
yond reconnoissances “in force,” and show-
ing fight without fighting, I do not think any
thing will be done just at, present. There
are good reasons for this delay which the
world will know in due season.
This is one of the most delightful regions
Of all Virginia, and yet it is so swept of all
apparent prosperity or even means of sub-
sistence for the few families remaining here,
that one feels but the sadder in view of the
beauty of all natural surroundings.
The first man I met who wore a familiar
face, was Dr. Homer Warner, whilom of
Norwalk, but now Surgeon of a Massachu-
setts Cavalry Regiment. Running into
Washington for a few moments lastweek, I
met H. C. Bundle of the 5th Conn., “block-
aded” for want of a. “pass” to get out to the
front. With the help of your correspondent
the embargo was lifted, and the 51h Conn.
boys are now rejoicing in the luxury of crack-
crs and cheese, pipes and tobacco.
The “ Paymaster,” the great institution of
the Army, has also been around and carried
the soldiers’ felicity to its highest pitch. The
requisitions upon the Treasury for the pay
of the-troops up to August 31, amount to
$27,500,000, of which $23,900,000 have been
And
the above is but a small item in the enormous
expenditures which a few traitors have for-
ced upon the loyal peopleof the country to
PflY- .
All eyes in this army, as doubtless through-
out the country, are turned to the desperate
struggle in which the noble Rosecrans is in-
volved. If he can but hold his position,
there is comfort in store for him. The gov-
ernment is fully alive to the importance of
winning that desperate struggle. A few late,
Richmond papers have struggled into (113‘
lines, from which I clip the following: I ' i
The Richmond Dispatch says ‘ ‘Bragg was
heavily reinforced.” Lougstreet and D H
Hill were ' there. The Marietta Rebel
says that Gen. Bragg was. “surrounded
by agalaxy of higher military talent, and
backed by a larger. army, than he ever
before commanded during his whole mili-
tary career.” 'It also gives ‘an exclama-
tion of Jefi’ Davis, that he would “snatch
Tennessee from the clutches Ofthe Abo-
litionists. z'fz't took the United armies of
the South to accomplish it.” '
WThe Richmond Erranu'ner says: “It is
a terrible thing to see the whole state of Tennes-
see, absolutely the whole, in the hands of the
enemy. The South has striven greatly for it,
and from Donelson to Chattanooga every
foot Of the ground might be the grave of a
soldier. We have not now an inch of Tennes-
see. Even the mountains, which are the back
doorof Virginia, are in the hands of the ene-
my.”
These extracts show very plainly that we
have not over-estimated the real triumph of
the national arms in those battles. The one-
my was defeated in his purpose of annihila-
ting Rosccrans’s army, or even of driving him
out of Chattanooga. On the contrary, Rose-
crans telegraphs to head-quarters that Chat-
tanooga is impregnable.
There is much activity out here, and yet
no movements which I can report. The
people have only to learn to “be patient and
to wait.” Yours, doc. B.

Tax Payers of the Borough of
Norwalk :
The undersigned deems it his duty at the
present time, to call your attention to a mat-
ter which has already been too long neg-
lected, and to present the following state-
ment for your consideration and if concurr-
ed in, for your prompt action.
It is well known that the Borough, for the
past few years, has incurred a large expense
in the organization of what I believe to be
an efficient Fire Department. It now con-
sists of Two. good Engines, One Hook and
Ladder 0 and Two Hose Companies, with
over one I ndred men on their Rolls, who
are always ready and willing to assist you
The apparatus is all in good order, the
Houses comfortable and convenient, and
tlicrc'is now nOthing wanting to complete
the efficiency of the Department, except the
great essential—“ Water.” .IAt . present
should a fire occur at Low Tide, that por-
tion of the town where it breaks out, must
be at the mercy of the devouring clement.
The-rapid growth of Norwalk for the past
few years, and the improvements which _
have been made by new buildings which
have prevented access to the River, and the,
filling up of our streets, which have necessi-
tated raising the wharves so much that no
Engine can take suction, exdept at high tide
and that at- very few places, and those so
remote .from the compact. portion of the
fire,,almost useless, and has nearly discour- I
aged the Firemen, who do not desire to have
the Borough incur such an expense merely
to keep up their organization, without being
of service town who are most interested.
In view of the approach of winter, and.
the danger, from firethereby, increased.- I.
would recommend the immediate construc-
tion of Two Clsterns, one On each side Of
Hogsheads of Water. They can be- made to
receive waterifrom adjacentzbuildings', and.
they are kept full by use ”Of the machines.
The expense will be inconsiderable, consid-
ering'the amount 'of property at stake. ‘
I make this appeal toyou, to‘ ' impress ups
oniyour minds the emergency of the case',‘
and theneces'sity'of prompt action being ta-
ken, and sea Borough Meeting will be call:
ed soon to consider the, matter, at which it
is‘desired that seem Tax PayerIshould be
present. . ' i ' " '"EDW'ARD‘PJWRED,

The Annual Fair and Cattle "Show of '
the County Agricultural SOciety, was
held last week at Danbury. Tuesday
was spent in receiving and arranging
articles for the exhibition; Wednes-
day morning, the Fair opened. The
number of entries of articles was
five hundred. The show2 of cattle was
said to have been very good. John Hick-l
0k & Son, of Wilton took the premium
for'th‘e best pair of Working Oxenover
six years of age ; they also took two
other premiums, side the Premium List.
The Ladies Equestrianship came off du-
dring the afternoon; there were but two
cOntestants, and the Committee could
not decide betweenthemyso they divided
the first and second premiums between
them. The riders were Miss Grace Crosfi
by, Danbury, and Miss C. J. Dikeman,
Ridgefield. Thursday was the great day
of the Fair, and it was estimated that at
least six thousand people attended, in at.
in case Of drought, the Firemen will see;thatI . ,
were busy as bees taking an account of
stock. And a rich share of spoils each
one of them had, “consisting in part” of
rare hot-house grapes, choice pears, peach-
es, oranges, apples, melous, ‘twiu’ pump—
kins, big beets, potatoes, turnips, squash-
es, the , together with beautiful specimens
of floriculture to gladdcn their hearts and
adorn their homes. They senttheir pri—
ch home by the wagon load, and just as
we were leaving, friend Taylor came up
and asked permission. to contribute some—
thing to “top off” with, and presented
each with a monstrous premium cabbage-
head. We could stand no more, and left.
There will be no use talking to those
gentlemen for the next thirty days ! If
our Ridgefield friends serve them the
:same way, we shall petition Father Cooke
to ,call an Editorial Convention, at Dan—
bury, to remain in session a fortnight at
least.

The Draft and the State Militia.
HARTFORD, Sept. 19, 1863.
GEN. HORACE J. MORSE, Adjutant General
Conn. Militia :
SIR :—To your inquiry, “Are members of
the active militia who 'have ' been drafted
into the‘service of the United States, and
who have, furnished substituted. exempt
from‘military service in ,the_,Statc,”. and.“are
those who hachpaid three hundred dollars,
lin commutation for services, exempt from
such duty,” I would reply,
~ iTliat, as both the State and National Gov-
ernments afford protection to persons and
property, both have a right to so much mili-
tary service as will be sufficient to give secu-
rity 'to the persons and property of all.
"I The ‘claims Of the state are for services to
protect rights which lie within the limits of
.hersov'ereig‘nty. '
. The claims ‘Of the General Government
are for services to protect those rights which
lie outside of State authority, and which are
held in common by citizens of the several
-'States, under circumstances and in condition
in which they cannot be preserved‘by the
‘powe'r‘of a single State.
The demands of the National Government
are supreme and must first be obeyed.
' The General Government can accept a
substitute 'Or commutation moneyfor servi-
' ce‘s demanded. Whenever this is done, the
ipestn from whom services are claimed is
_. net'really or virtually. in the service of the
- 7 United States, but is I discharged therefrom,
remains within . the jurisdiction of the State
and must. be governed by State laws. -
to an agreement with a citizen, which shall
relieve him from military service due the
' State, any more than it can relieve himfrOm
the burdens of State taxation... If it has an-
relieve (all. Such.- authority is antagonistic
to the subversive State sovereignty, and can-
.not be recognized.
Therefore members of the. active militia
Who have been drafted into the service of
the United States, and have furnished sub-
stitutes or paid three hundred dollars in
commutation for services, are not exempt
from State military duty. -

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.——Dispatches
from Gen. Rosecrans, dated Chattanooga,
3 and 5 P. M., Sept. 22, were received
by the government this morning—from
which it appears that the enemy’s attack
upon Gen. Thomas’ Corps, Rosecrans
left, on MOiiday afternoon, was hand
somcly repulsed, and Gen. 'l‘homas’ for-
es maichcd quietly to the position they
were about to take when assaulted.
Four thousand Of our wounded were
removed from the field after the battle of
Sunday. General Little. was the only
general killed on our side, while Bragg
‘acknowledces his loss in officers to be
very heavy. .
When the last dispatch of yesterday
closed, the enemy was quite active. He
had been making his approaches all the
morning. Gen. Rosecrans’ men were in
line ready for another encounter.
Gen. Graham, who had command of
one of our brigades at Gettysburg, and
was taken prisOner and conveyed to
Richmond, has recently been discharged
and reached here this morning. He has
communicated important information to
the government, and is satisfied that
only two,,divisions of Longstrect’s corps
with his artillery has been sent to Bragg.

Friday was a cold and stormy. day,"
and the attendance was exeeediugly
small, consequently-the Fair commenced
breaking up very. early, and at noon
there was hardly anything left _in;_the
tent. The Plowing match icame ‘ofi',
however, but very little interest. seemed
manifested in it, and but three of the
seven premiums Offered. were awarded.
The Annual Address was delivered 'at
noon, by Rev. A. N. Gilbert, to arath—

listen to it, but were informed by good:
judges that it was an unusally able and.’
interesting Address. It has been sag-4

would be desirable to have the ,SOciet'y:

far out of town, we should say,'wasa
decided :failure, judging from the many

general result of the Exhibition. .We
have no doubt if it had been held

have been at least one half more, the Ex—

was the receipts will a little more than
cover expenses. Over $550 were award-
ed in'premiums. ': " ' ‘ l
