A SPLENDID ORNAMENT To BROADWAY.—
It must be a leasant thing for that venera-
ble individna , the oldest inhabitant, to run
back in reccollection to the days when our
now palace-beautified Broadway was in a
much more crude condition than it is in these
days of progressive utility. Such improve-
ments have taken place within the past few
years in the appearance of our favorite thor-
oughfare, that it seems as if some arch en-
chantress had produced the change by one
motion of her magic wand.

All alon that rand avenue, from Bowling
Green to nion quare are to be seen some
of the most magnificent structures which ev-
er sprung from the train of art and architec-
ture. And imposing as they are externally,
they are equally so within. Some of them
are fitted up in a style which would draw
tears of ecstacy and admiration from the eyes
of the most extravagant Parisian whose life.
is devoted to the study of luxury and mag-
nificence generally. _

Recently a novel improvement has been
ushered into existence on Broadwa . We
refer to the splendid new Temple 0 Phar-
macy (the doors of which were for the first
time opened to the public but a few days
ago) of Mr. H. T. Hembold, at No. 594
Broadwa and adjoining the Metropolitan
Hotel. yet since its opening day it has
been favored with full houses, (to use the
language of the dramatic critics,) its unique
splendor daily and nightly attracting large
crowds of admirers.

The entire building, which is 28 feet front,
235 feet deep and 5 stories in height, has
been leased by Mr. Hembold. The street
floor has been most tastefully fitted up, the
front half being used for the retail depart-
ment and the rear portion for the wholesale
business and as a laboratory. There is prob-
ably no drug store in the world more beau-
tiful and luxuriously furnished than this
new acquisition to our‘ Broadway attractions.

Connected with the establishment is a re-
ception room, which is intended for the com-
fort of those who are obliged to wait while
the prescriptions which they desire to pur-
chase are being prepared.- This is some-
thing which has long been a desideratum
which Mr. Hembold has supplied. The
room is furnished with costl lounges, chairs,
sofas and velvet carpet. aking this new
establisement altogether it deserves to rank
as one of the magnificences of our city.

11$.A case is to come off at the next
term of the Superior Court at Bridge-
port, in reference to the will of the late
Richard H. Winslow, of Westport. He
left property amounting to between two
and three million dollars, nearly all of it
being willed by him to his wife. Two
daughters, by his first wife, received $10,-
000 each. They bring a- suit to break
the will, so that that the property will
fall to the heirs-allow, on the ground
that their father was not of sound mind
at the time of his death. Some of the
ablest legal talent in the country has been
engaged in the suit; among them on the
the part of the defendants, Thomas C.
Perkins of Hartford, and Trent and Loo-
mis of Bridgeport; and on the part Of the
plaintiffs, Mr. Evarts of New York, and
Charles Chapman of Hartford. It will
be an exciting trial, and large sums of
money will be expended to prosecute it.

Editorial Correspondence.
WAsniNoTON, Nov. 21st, ’63.

Contrary to general expectation, and
the impatient hopes of the men of the
army, Gen. Meade has not yet seen fit to
advance. Meanwhile our poor prisoners,
victims of worse than South Sea-Island
barbarity, are dying in Richmond, at the
rate of fifty 11. day from actual starvation!
I have this horrible statement from the
lips of one who made his escape only on
Monday last, a man who is vouched for
in the most satisfactory manner, as intel-
ligent and truthful. ' '

“ What is, or-willbe done i” the read
or will impatiently ask. I cannot state.
This much I know. The question on-
grosses the most serious attention of our
Government. Several Cabinet Meetings
have been convened, specially to consid-
er the matter and another was held yes-
.terday. It is understood that the rebels
will permit. the ' Sanitary and Christian
Commissions to forward- iood, and this
Saturday evening it is asserted that they
have yielded to the request of our Govern-
ment to forward food, but trammeled
with such conditions as to virtually ren-
der it inoperative. The facts ' are that
the rebels are on the brink of famine
themselves, and‘are too proud to allow
the confession to go to the world. Yet
come it must and that very soon, and
then let our English or any other friend,
bear with them, the hideous enrormity’of
this barbarism, before the civilized
world.

Thetrue and patriotic solution of the

If we have not men enough, let the
President ring out a proclamation which
shall call out ”a 100,000 are. Million men,
if need be, to the one duty .of “ On to
Richmond,” for the rescue of these our
family brothers. ‘It is due to them—it
is due to the nation, that not a moments
delay be permitted. “Retaliate in kind”
we Cannot.~ Agreat nation cannot turn
to barbarism such as this and live. Such
deep and damning atrocity of cruelty.
would make us deserve to perish, with the
fires that whelmed Sodom and Gomorah.
The various “combinations” are being
rapidly made up for the incoming Con-
gress. Members begin to flock to the
City and rooms and board go up, as these
law makers of the land came down upon
us. The next Congress will be one of
greater comsequence than any that has
ever convened within these States. Ques-
tions of the most momentous import de-
pend upou their action. May it be wise
and liberal, honest and patriotic, regard-
less of men or of parties. Men and par-
ties die, principles never, and he who
wears the robes of Legislative responsi-
bilities in this Congress bears a burden
which should call forth all that is self-
sacrificing and noble in his manhood.
Senator Foster is domiciled at Wil-
lards. Senator Dixon resumes his for-
mer residence on Pennsylvania Avenue
the coming week. Representatives Dem-
ming, English, Brandagee and Hubbard
are also expected to arrive next week.

'A Callfor Men.

We would call thc‘ attention of Westport,
Weston, Wilton, New Canaan and other
towns about Norwalk, to the advertisement
of Capt. Finney. and urge them to make ev-
ery exertion to furnish their quotas on the
last call of the President for Volunteers.
Towns throughout the State are making ev-
ery exertion and offering extra inducements
to obtain their quotas. Ito's high time to move
and to work.

An organized effort by prominent men in
each town, cannot fail to do something tow-
ard the desired end. The General Govern-
ment has offered the most liberal bounties-
and the State has nobly seconded the call.
It has done every thing a patriotic and ear-
nest State can do. It has more than doubled
the United States bounties; it has provided
with munificent charity for the families of
all who go to gallant duty in the Field; it
begs you to take your musket and strike one
last and terrible stroke against your coun-
try’s foe—and then march proudly back to
peaceful homes to the music of the Union.

More has been done, the State is behind on
the last Draft. We are assured that if the
Quota is filed before the 5th day of J anna-
ry next, we will be excused from all previous
deficiency, and free from thegrcvious burden
of anotherDrafl. Why not then make this
the earnest work of the hour. It can be ac-
complished, a little reflection will convince
all that it must. Citizens, awake! stir up the
blood of your young men. Let no one pass
a day without saying or doing eonwllu'ng to
push on this good and necessary work.

Mr. Finney, appointed Recruiting Agent
for this District by authority of the Provost-
Marshal Gen.‘ will receive at his office in
N orwalk Recruits from any toWn within the
District, and have them properly enlisted and
credited to the town from which they come.

Important from East Tennessee

A special dispatch dated Knoxville,
Tuesday, says that Gen. Longstreet, af-
ter crossing the' Tennessee on Saturday
morning last, was attacked'in the 'after-
noon by Gen. Burnside, who drove the
advance guard back.to within a mile of
the river’s edge by nightfall. Longstreet
crossed the remainder of his troops du-
ring the night, and on Sunday morning
advanced in force. Gen.- Burnside, find-
ing it itimpossible to cope with him- with
a small force athis disposal,- fell back to
Lenoir’s, the rear guard skirmishing heav-
with the enemy through the day. Three
desperate charges were made open our
positions during sunday night, but they
were handsomely repulsed. On Monday
morning Gen. 'Burnside evacuated . .Le—j-
noir’s, but owing to the energy With which
the rebel pursuit was kept up, determin-
ed to givethem a decided check and ac-
cordingly came .into .line of battle at
Campbell’s Station, when‘a fight ensued
lasting frOm late in the foreuoon until
dark.- ‘Our first position commanding
the road from both sides, the infantry
deployed in, front of this and were soon
attacked by the enemy, “who made sever-
al gallant charges and finally succeeded,
by outflanking our mail, in driving them
to the cover of the batteries which now
opened a terrifiic and destructive fire.
The rebels retired before it gave way,
and eventually fell back to the river. It.
was now three o’clock in the afternoon,
and the rebels showing a desire to renew
the attack, and having brought three
batteries to their assistance, Gen. Burn-
side fell back to a more desireeble posi-
tion and again gave battle. The contest
continued until night, when it closed
with our troops in possession of the ground
The object of the fight having been at-
tained, and as the detention of the rebels
had enabled our trains to get all in ad
vance, our troops fell back during the
night and early Tuesday morning reach-
ed Knoxville, where a battle was expect-
ed to be fought Wednesday. -

On Monday the rebel advance guard
attacked our outposts upon the London
and Clinton roads, and heavy skirmisbing
continued all day. ~ Tuesday morning the
attack was resumed when a fog, which
set in during‘ the night had lifted. The
rebels finding it impossible to drive our
men with infantry brought several guns
into position and poured in a flanking fire
In the afternoon they brought forward a
heavy force of infantry once more, and,
after a brief skirmish, charged our posi-
tion. A terrifiic hand to hand conflict

_ occurred, both ashore and revolvers being

used on both tides. Our men fought with
the greatest gallantry, but at last were
compelled to fall back about one-third of
a mile to a strong line, which they were
holding Tuesday night.

Our loss on Monday was between 200
and 300. On Tuesday it will not exceed
150. The enemy’s loss on Monday, ow-
ing to the severe fire of our artillery,
could not have been less, than a thousand
Their-loss on » Tuesday is estimated at
four or five hundred.

The whole army is in excellent Spirits
and Confident of a victm-y if' there is a
decisive battlefougbt' at Knoxville.

Gen. Shackleford had a brisk fight on
Sunday with the rebels, on the other side
of the Holsten river. three miles from
Knoxville. He kept; them in check, and
at night they disappeared. - , .

Chaplain Trumnurr Arrived
Home.

Rev. H. C. Trumbull, of this city,

Chaplain of the 10th Conn., arrived
home on Sunday, 15th inst., after a rebel

imprisonment of four months. He was -

captured with Adj. H. B. Camp, of this
city, on Sunday, after the second assault
on Fort Wagner, while attending to the
wounded. Most of the time since, he has
been imprisoned at Columbia, S. C., a
healthy and pleasant location, where the
Union prisoners are well fed, well treated,
and quite comfortable. He left Adj.
Camp there, in good health.

While at Columbia, Chaplain Trum;
hull was quite sick of a fever; but he!
now recovered, and is in pretty good
health. He was in Richmond but a few
days, and was released on Wednesday,
the 11th, and immediately came home,
via. Fortress Monroe, Baltimore and
Washington. His account confirms all
previous accounts of sufl‘crings of Union
prisoners at Richmond. ln Libby prison
proper, there are a thousand Union oili-
cers; on Belle Island, from 5000 to 7000
men; and, in all, about 14,000 Union
prisoners at Richmond. The officers are
better cared for than the men, but their
small meat rations were stopped last
Wednesday. The condition of the thou-
sands of Union prisoners on Belle Island
is horrible in the extreme. Crowded to-
gether on the sand for months without
sufficient clothing, without shelter of any
kind from the storms and cold nights,

'without fires, without meat for a long

time, and with the scantiest rations of
corn bread and water, they ate sick,
worn out by exposure, and actually stare-

ing to death, at the rate of (on or fifteen of

day! ~ . .

There is plenty of food,- he says, in the
rebel coufederacy—their crops are abun-
dant. But the difliculty of transportation
makes it hard to get food at Richmond,
or fuel enough to cook it. Their railroads
are worn out— their men and teams are
in the army. MuTrumbull paid $1.50
in confederate money, last Wednesday

morning, ‘at Richmond, for a cup of rye -

coffee, which is 'a fair sample of prices.
Whisky. of good quality, sold at five
thousand dollars a barrel, and the cheap-
est kind attwo thousand dollars a bar-
rel. Bi‘audy is five dollars a drink—
Gen. Neal Dow, who" is a prisoner there,
can see the Maine Law in practical]
effect, on account of the astounding
prices. . ,

Yet the rebel army is well fed. The
rebel quartermasters impress food Where
ever they find-it, and see that the $01-
diers have it. So the rebels have no
excuse for starving our men. Mr. T.
represents the feeling at Richmond as
strongly in favor of a resumption of ex-
changes on any terms. .

Mr. Trumbull does not judge that the
confederacy is by any means exhausted
yet, though they suffer greatly. The rebels
say the Yankees will get Charleston, if
they persevere long enough; but hope to
worry them out. He says their green-
backs were taken by the rebel authori-
ties at Richmopd, who gave them con-
federate currency at the rate of eight
dollars to one; and, on leaving, the green-
backs were returned, at the same ratio.
He brings home sketches of his prison, of
the City Hall at Columbia, as seen from
his prison window, etc, made by himself
and Adjutant Camp; and also quite an
assortment of rebel currency.' The “gov-
ernment" fractional currency of the
rebels, made at Richmond, is well en~
graved and printed, comparing favorably
With ours. The shinplasters for local cir-
culation are cheap affairs, and it would
take a hatful to get a decent meal at
Richmond.

Chaplain Trumbull has twenty days
leave of absence. His experience, written
out, would be exceedingly interesting;
but his time will be occupied, for the
present, in writing scores of letters for
Connecticut men who are prisoners at
Richmond, fer the benefit of themselves
and their friends at home—Hartford
Press. '

The Capture of Fort Pulaski.

ST. HELENA ISLAND, S 0.,
Nov. 8th, 1863.

Enirons GAzanz—In looking over
the contents of the War Record for Oc-
tober, I happened to notice theproduc-
hand one who styles himself “Miles."
He claims that the 48th New York
Volunteers did as much toward reducing
Fort Pulaski as the 7th Connecticut. I

will admit-that the 48th erected a single.

mortar battery on Bird Island, but it
was rendered useless long before the
bombardment commenced. I would most
respectfully on the attention of the ex.
officer to a. pa ‘lar occasion, when the
rebels, one dark night, came up from
Pulaski, stole all their ammunition, and,
previous to taking their departure, ele-
vated the mortar to an usual unusual
degree, and loaded it with a kind of
ammunition not in general use at the
present day. I believe that was all the
48th did. toward putting down the rebel-
lion in the mouth of Savannah River.
,Respectfully, J F. M.,
00. D, 7th C. V.
a...
Penman—From the following it ap-
spears that our old friend Steadman,
"has been and gone and got and done”

some more poesy : .

Carleton has in press, and will publish
in a few days, a new poem by Mr. E. C.
Stedman, entitled “Alice of Monmouth."
The scene is laid in our own country,
partly in Monmouth county, New Jersey,
and partly in the camps and battle-fields
of Virginia By his fortunate choice of
a subject Mr. Stedmau has proved him-
self a poet as Well as a patriot. In the
former capacity he has a two-fold chance
of success, first as a painter of rural
scenery and manners, and second as a
painter of battle-fields; what he can do
in the first named branch of his art he
showed some three or four years .since in
his charming volume of " Lyrics, and
Idyls”; and of his talent in the latter
we need only mention his admirable let-
ter describing the first battle of Bull
Run. Those who have seen the sheets
speak of it as ngruccful and spirited
piece, picturesquely handled, andabound-
ing in melodious measures. Houghton,
of the Riverside Press, Cambridge, has
done his share towards making a benuti:
ful book—N Y. Eve Post.
