be observed as a holiday. Under orders from ‘
Gen. Dix and Gen. Sanford there was a pn- ?

OPENING HYMN. ‘
O, Lord of Hosts, Almighty King,
Behold the sacrifice we bring.
To every arm Thy strength impart,
Thy spirit shed through every heart. ‘
Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith, that warmed our sires.
Thy power has made our nation free,
To die for her in serving thee.
Be thou a pillared flame to show
The midnight snare, the silent foe:
And when the battle thunders loud,
Still guide us in the moving cloud.
I
l

God of all nations, Sovereign Lord,
In thy dread name we draw the sword
We lift the starry flag on high,
That fills with light our stormy sky.
No more its flaming emblems wave
To bar from hope the trembling slave;
No more its radiant glories shine
To blast with woe one ch .ld of thine~
From treason's rent, from murder’s stain,
Guide thou its folds till peace shall reign;
Till fort and field, till shore and sea,
Join our loud anthem, Praise to thee!
4. Major Gen. Dix, on behalf of the Gen-
tleman’s Executive Committee, will present
the contents of the Fair to the Ladies’ Com-
mittee. '
5. Hallelujah Chorus-Handel—by the
United Choirs and the Band.
6. Joseph H. Choatc, in behalf of the La-
dies will respond to the presentation speech

Entertainment at Ely’s Hall.
The Ladies of the So. Norwaik Patriotic
Society, ever working for the benefit of our
sick and wounded soldiers, are to give an
entertainment for their benefit at Ely’s Hall,
on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of
this week. The entertainment will consist
of Music, and Charades, which will be acted
by ladies and gentlemen of the villiuge. The
object is a noble one and the entertainment
will be exceedingly inter-resting. We trust
the “material aid” realized by the ladies on
this occasion, will be worthy of the town.
Of course, the Horse Cars, will run for the
accommodation of up town people who de-
sire to attend. As the Hall will undoubted-
ly be crowded, we would suggest that more
seats be provided for the occasion than is
usually in the Hall. *

Wit/lords 8.7 Doty, the enterprising Dry
Goods Merchants in Gazette Building, are
now erecting an addition to the rear of their
store, to accommodate their constantly in-
creasing business. In connection with this
enlargement there is a good joke. One of
our lawyersu—usually a quiet, inoffensive
man—happening in our office and seeing The
stout carpenters busily at work, enquired
what was going on, and when told, quietly
remarked that he “did not know before that
Morris & Doty were hard up.” We did not
either, and asked him what he meant——
“ Why,” said he, “ I see they are obliged to
ask for an extension.”

@The Bridgeport Farmer had the
meanness to print what. it says is a pri-
vate letter, and which it intimates was
dishonoraby obtained by it, from Hon. A
H. Byington, in Washington, to a friend
in Bridgeport. The act was a contemp-
tibly mean one, but the Register does a
little meaner thing in copying it from the
Farmer and assuming for itself the credit
of the original tnrpitude. The only fact-
of any public interest in the letter is that
Mr. Byington hopes, “if Lee keeps qui-
at,” from 1000 to 1500 soldiers will be
able to come home and vote. The rest
is all sacredly private, and its publication
is a gross breach of every rule of proprie-
ty. How the Register hopes Lee won’t
“keep quiet l”—ZV. H. Courier.
WDou‘t scold tllem, friend Courier, for
stealing private letters. They are having a
sorry time of it enough, the dear knows, and
we esteem it only a glory to be abused with
the soldiers who sick and wounded, bobble
home to vote, and it is only a cause of rejoic-
ing with us, that the “Coppers" have thus
kindly turned in to help swell the Union
majority.

i7lli Regiment,
From a private lctuzl‘ recoil/011 by a mom i ‘
her of the 17th Regiment, now at home, from
a friend in the Regiment, we are allowed to
copy the following extracts of general inter-
est : ‘
CAMP 17TH REG’T, C. V.,
JACKSONVILLE, FLA., March 24,1864. 3
. M r r.- .s- at
We are encamped a little to the “ West
J acksonvillc, in
a very pleasant location, about one-quarter
South is the 144th N. Y. Reg’t, about it
beyond them is the 107th N. Y., or “Blink—
era,” as they are termed here. Whether they
John’s Island, (which the Reg’t started on
Reg’t, where I was duly initiated in the car-
rying of knapsack, marching. all night, and
living on “hard tack,”) or not, I cannot say.
but I think ‘they justly deserve the title
which they bear, from the running qualities
which they displayed on sundry occasions;
when on picket duty they run in at any
slight noise. I cannot conceive why they
should be encamped 'where they are, unless,
owing to their sensitiveness at the approach
of the enemy, they are there to , give the
alarm to the other Regiments about here.
while we are .quietly sleeping; for I am sure
that if the enemy should attempt to attack .
us that the 107th would 'be the first to fall
back into our rifle pits, although they are
at the greatest distance from the probable
point of attack, should the “Johnnies” come.
The soil about Jacksonville is sandy and very
productive of snakes, lizards, &o., and in
warm weather fleas. A few days ago the
cook for Capt. Kellogg, (John Keyser,) upon
entering his tent one noon, found in his bed,
under his knapsack, a very fine specimen of
our Northern black-snakes, about four feet
long, and as be turned to come out, be met
the mate of “Mr. snake" just outside his
tent, where he had just crawled out of his
hole in the ground. Justus Silliman,a few
days before, while engaged policing the
street back of our tents, in pulling up a hog
found a snake of the “ moccasin” species,
and yesterday, a little past noon, just a few
steps west of our tent, some of the men
found a rattle-snake, with three rattles and
a. button on his tail. One of the 75th Ohio
Regiment happened along just as they dis-
covered it, and putting a. stick on its head,he
took hold with his fingers just back of the
snake’s head, and carried it off to his tent
alive: As for the other two productions,
they are of a remarkable size, and—too nu-
merous to mention.
There is no war news of much impor-
tance about here. The last that I heard was
the capture ef two reb. steamboats, loaded
with cotton and turpentine, which are now
lying in the‘ harbor just of Jacksonville.
One of our ghnboats captured them day be-
fore yesterday, about 150 miles up the river.
The crew of the boat succeeded in effecting
their escape when they saw our gunboat ap-
proaching up the river.
Jacksonville, though now almost in ruins,
has the appearance of once being a very neat
and beautiful place. The streets are nearly
all lined on either side with beautiful shade
trees, mostly “Live Oaks.” The inhabi-
tants, who had nearly all left the place when
we first came here, are now_gradually re-
turning, and occupying the houses which
once was their quiet home. The stores that
remained standing are now nearly all occu-
pied by sutlers from the North, or citizens of
Jacksonville, who are selling sutler’s goods,
and the place is now taking quite a lively
_ and business-like look. I occasionally get a
pass to go a fishing down to the wharf, and
after fishing awhile go about the place to see
the sights. The fish that argcaught here in
large quantities by the soldiers from all the
Regiments are mostly “catfish" or “bull-
heads,” and some of them will weigh from
eight to twelve lbs. They are very nice eat-
ing, and very much sought after by the sol-
diers. Provisions are quite reasonable in
prices compared to what they were before
we came. Flour is selling for $16 per bbl.,
butter 50 cents per 1b., cheese 40 cents, sugar
‘25 to 30 cents. The weather for the last few
days has been quite cool down here. On
the 17th or 18th it froze down here in the
night, even in some of the tents, and yet but
a few days before it_was so very warm that
we could hardly be comfortable in the shade,
with our costs 011‘. Natives of Jacksonville
say that they scarcely ever knew such cold
weather. Methinks it is one of God's prov-
idences to us, who are used to colder weather
at this time of the year.
Major Allen is now in command of the
Reg’t, as Col. Noble is acting Brigadier Gen.
I came out expecting to do my duty, and
come what will I mean to do it. We are at’
the present enjoying a very precious oppor-
tunity by being permitted to attend prayer
meetings every evening in the week, and
Sundays hear preaching. Our place of
gathering is in the largest church in J ., and
almost every eVening it is filled, and some
nights all cannot find seats. There is a.
blessed work going on by God’s grace, and
many are being brought low at the feet of
their Saviour, and are heard to say, ‘.‘ What
must I do to be saved 1’” I never enjoyed
myself more than attire present time. I be-
lieve I am happy, and should be perfectly so
were it not that I am separated from my
friends at home in old Connecticut. How-
ever I do not feel as though I cured or
wzbbed to return, until this occurred Rebellion
ls subdued, and Liberty, and Union, and
Freedom to allshall reign supreme through-
out the land. These meetings have been
sustained for about two weeks or more, and
still by God‘s grace and blessing they are
sustained and kept up with a lively interest.
I wish all could feel as I do, forI feel safe in
my Redeemer, Jesus. And if I can return,
I would give more to come back unstained
from the vices of Camp life, and shall feel
thatI have accomplished more than though
I should rise to fill the highest position in
my Reg‘t. ‘

' and Pension of Chaplains. 7
The worthy Senator from Connecticut has 2
“Ourlegislatlou upon the subject of
a reproach to Congress. We judge these
ofiicers to be a necessary class in the
service, or we should make no provision
for them; and yet by our legislation we
seem to regard them as an excresceuce; i
we actually put them under the ban and
degrade them, so far as it lies in our
ower. '
“The honorable Senator from Iowa
seemed startled at the fact that when a
chaplain was absent from duty, although
on account of wounds received in battle,
his pay was stopped. Such is the con-
struction put upon the law; and there is
at this time certainly one chaplain per
haps more, lying upon his sick-bed in this
city, who was wounded in the field at the
late advance of the army of the Potomac
over the Rapidan. He was the chaplain
of Bcrdan’s sharpshooters, a faithful, val-
uable man, and in addition to high quali-
fications as a chaplain, was, I believe, a
very excellent rifle shot, which he has
proved occasiqnhlly in battle to the ene-
my’s cost._' He was wounded in battle or
in one of the skirmishes connected with
that advance of the army. These sharp-
shooters were in the advance, and the
chaplain, while endeavoring to assist to
the rear some of his wounded men, was
himself wounded; of course was compelled
to be absent from the field, and is now in
this city sick in his bed. He is at a
boarding house kept by the widow of a
chaplain who was shot deadln the service
a short time ago by the rebels. This
widow was left by law wholly unprovided
for, and this chaplain, who is now snfi'er-
ing under these circumstances, can draw
not one cent of pay nor any allowance
until he gets well and goes back to duty.
“Another chaplain from the State of
Vermont, the chaplain of the third Ver-
mont regiment, was ordered to assist two
wounded or sick officers home, they not
being ‘able to travel without come friend
to attend them. He went under the
order, and was absent the necessary and
proper time to obey it, then came back,
and every cent of his pay for that time
was struck off at the next pay day. So,
too, of those who have been taken and
held in captivity by the rebels, their pay
stops until they are released and return
to duty; and even the pay which they
thus get is notpaid as it is to every other
officer in the service, on their word of
honor, but they have to get I certificate
in order to be enabled to draw their
diminished pittance Some other officer
must certify to the chuplaiu’s roll that he
has been present performins duty, or he
cannot even get the scant compensation
finally allowed by law.
"This is what I consiser an attempt to
degrade the men who are performing the
duties of chaplains in our Army. In the
first place it is decided that they shall
not be paid at all, when all other ofiicers
under like circumstances are paid, and’
even when paid, that they shall not be
paid without a certlficate from some oth-
er officer that they have not cheated or
attempted to cheat the Government out
of more pay than belongs to them.
as a a: is
O
"I repeat, I am not desirous that this
provision shall be construed as the honor-
able chairman of the Committee on Mili-
tary affairs suggests, so as to give a man
four rooms, and and seventy or eighty
dollars a month to his pay, although I
confess I find it difficult to see why a
chaplain is not just as much entitled to
this as the surgeon. Why make the
distinction ? The chaplain, socially, is
the equal of the surgeon. Ordinarily he
is as well, or better, educated. He is
a man as much entitled to respect. Why
give to the one privileges so greatly su-
perior to the other ? The honorable Sen-
ator says these places have been sought
for. It is true that they have been.
Have not the places of surgeons also
been sought for; and is there any reason
why surgeons should have these rights
and privileges which does not apply with
equal force to case of chaplains?
"I am not disposed by any means to
institute a comparison and claim any su-
periority for one of these classes of cm-
cers over the other, but I say that no
man understanding really the condition
of the service will assert that. surgeons
are more deserving than chaplains, that
their wants are any greater, and that the
duties they perform are any more impor-
tant, provided each performs his proper
duties ably and faithfully. I agree that
if the chaplain is a bad man he is not
entitled this or any other ulloyvence or
compensation he should not have been ap-
pointed. So of the surgeon. If the surgeon
is an incompetent, unékillful, or ignorant
man. he is as great a purse to the service
as can well be imposed upon it. There
may be, and doubtless are, such cases,
but it will not do, for that reason, to de-
grade the whole class of surgeons. or to
put them under the ban and outlaw them
'as we do chaplains.”
We rejoice that the persistent and ear-
nest endeavors of the Senator were success-
ful in every particular. .
We hope he will next tum his attention
to the increase .of Chaplains for the Navy.
of whom there are only 30 in commission
for 588 registered Naval vessels (besides
Hospitals and Navy Yards) and some 40,000
men. S. B. S. B.

The 83d Ohio, forming the advance of
Gen. Banks’s army, marched through the
Teche country 170 miles in five days. No
fighting occurred beyond some, small
skirmishes. On the 21st 800 Rebels
were'captured about 18 miles from Alex-

Fonrsnss Monaos, April 1. Gen.
Grant, accompanied by Gens. McDOWel
and Smith, arrived this morning from
Washington. Gen. Butler, with his
distinguished guests visited the Rip Van
Winkle today, and at- noon reviewed the
colored troops at Camp Hamilton.
By way of New-Orleans we have later
news from Texas. Indianola was evacu-
ated on the morning of the 13th of March.
With the troops, several Union families,
principally Germans, left. taking with
them in some instances the lumber of
their tenements, as they had taken the
oath of allegiance, with the expectation
that the army would remain. Gens.
McClernard and Dana did all they could
to relieve them, as did also Capts. Gor-
such and MCComas. The troops under
Gen. Fitz Henry Warren took the land
route crossing the bayous by pontoon
ferries. In doing so twenty two ' men
and two ofiicers of the 69th Indian,Lieut
Col. Pery, commanding. two men of the“
7th Michigan Batery, and eight of the
2d Engineer(Corps (1’ Africa), in all thir-
ty-fonr men and two horses, were drown-
ed bv the swamping of the boats. Gen.
McClernard has gone down the coast to
make a visit to Arkansas Pass and
Brownsville.
By the Cahaw'ba we have New 01‘-
leans dates to the 24th ult. Franklin,

and the Government stores there removed
to Brashear City.
On the 2lst illst., a force under com
mand of Gen. Mower made a reconnois-
sauce as far up Red River as Natchi-
toches, where they met the enemy in
considerable numbers. The Union troops
flanked the Rebels and captured four
guns with their cassions and 200 prison-
ers. Natfiitoches is on Red River’
60 or 70 miles in an airline above Alex-
drla and is a place of considerable impor-
tance in that section of_the State. Refu-
gees recently from N atchitoches state
a. very large quantity of cotton still re-
mains on the plantations near that place,
and there can be little doubt that this
will now fall into the hands of our troops.
Another account says: An engagement
took place on the 2lst inst, about 21
miles beyond Alexandria, On the Bayou
Rapids. It resulted in lithe capture of
210 prisoners from the enemy, 4 pieces of
artillery, with cassions, and a large num-
ber of hOrses and males. The only casu-
alty reported on our side is that Col.
Horace B. Sergeant was wounded in the
leg severely, but not dangerously. The
forces engaged were a portion of the in-
fantry of Gen. Smith‘s command and a
part of the cavalry of Gen. Lee. The
Fort De Russey prisoners have arrived
at New Orleans, There are 25 oficers
among them.

Crnsh the Rebellion First.
In aspeech made in Lexington, Ky., March
28th, Hon. Green Clay Smith, inember of
Congress from that state said : ‘ ‘ ‘
We must crush the rebellion for our ow
safety. That done, harmony will soon unite
us together. We see in the history of the
war repeated instances of the speedy frater-
nizatioh which takes place on the battle-
field between our men and the rebels imme-
dlately after a victory. The same result will
be seen when the rebellion is crushed. For
the masses, the speaker wOuld'gran’t in am-
nesty ; for the leaders, none. He had no de-
sire in live with them again. When Grant,
Meade, Sherman and Rosecrans have finish-
ed their work, then another famous Ken-
tucky general will come in for a share of the
work—Gen. Hemp. [Cheers] The punish-
ment of these arch-traitors must be so terri-
ble, that no leaders will even dare to enter
upon the work of rebellion again.

Explosion and Loss olefe.
A few-minutes after eight o’clock this
(Friday) morning, four or five heavy
explosmns took place icons of the wooden
buildings used for sharing percussions
caps-attached to the American Flask
and cap Co’s factory. The concussion
was heard all over the city, and the
streets were at once filled with people
hurrying to the scene The fire acompa-
nies were promptly on the ground with
their engines, and through their efi'orts,
aided by the {pros-pump belqnging to the
Brasss Co’s mill close by, the fire was
confined to the building, which was com-
dletely destroyed.
There were tWelve or fifteen girls at
work building, one of whom, named
Dfost, a German girl twelve or fourteen
years of age, and two others whose names
we have not learned, perished in the
flames. Their blackened remains were
found in the ruins, but it was impvsible
to identify them. ' 9
Several flora were injured, but 7‘ is
hoped nonwery serrously. Dr. Blake
superintendent of the mills, who was in
the building at the time, had his hands
seriously burnt and his hair singed.
The loss in estimated at about 320,000
-—no iesnrance. early all the inachin-
ery in the Unite States, for making

The London papers of March 16th
give detailed accounts of the fearful Cit-
lamlly at Sheffield, England. 0n Sutur-
day. March 12th, the reservoir of the
water-works at Sheffield, covering seven-
ty-six acres, and containing over a. mill-
ion cubic feet of water, suddenly burst
its boundaries, overflowing the adjaCent
country, and causing great destruction of
life and property. It is estimated that
more than two hundred persons were
dro» ned in the rush of the waters. The
London Times says-
“Many months must elapse before the
buildiugs are restored, and years must go
by before the face of the country can wear
the aspect of verdure and careful cultiva.
tion which it bore on Friday night. The
river, though fallen, is far from being as
low as it generally is at this time of the
year, and every fnrlong of the stream’s
banks exhibits almoat innumerable traces
of the inundation—such as trees, balks,
and beams of timber, firmly embedded in
its bed. The open land in this neighbor-
hood is still, for the greater portion, un-
der water, and, as that drains of, a num-
ber of bodies will, it is feared, be exposed
to view. The large hollows which
abound are filled up by the hundreds of
cart-loads of mud which are deposited in
them. The great manufacturers are
busily engaged cleaning out their ware-
houses and polishing their machinery
which had become rusty by the water.
Round N eepsend and by Hillsborongh
and Owlerton road, where the great mis-
chief fell, the inhabitants of the houses
are busily engaged pumping the water
out of their cellars. ‘Wallcrs’ and ma-
sons are engaged in rebuilding, wherever
practicable, the walls that have been
washed down. Farther down, in the gar-
dens opposite, at the other side of the
river, a very painful incident occurred.
Two or three men were engaged in remo-
ving the rubbish of one of the small,
inhabited garden houses. Near them
stood a young woman, with two children
clinging to her dress, the only ones saved
from the wreck of their cottage. The
subbiuh had almost been cleared away,
when the leg of a human being was ex-
pond to view'. Brick after brick was
removed, until the poor Woman recogni-
zed the remains of her husband. A little
show where this incident occurred the
corpse of a child was brought out of the
mud in an Open space near the Old
Brewery. About twenty yards from
this the‘body of a man Was also found.
“In the Kelhem rolling mills the es-
cape of the workman was very narrow
ended. The first alarm was given by a
man who had been asleep at the bottom
end of the mill, and Was. awakened by
the rushing in of the waters. He has-
tened to where his fellow-workmen were
getting dinner—these men being what
are called the . ‘ night shift’—and gave
them warning. Fortunately, the gates
of the yard were closad , and the men had
no means of getting out by these means.
Had they done so they would inevitably
have been swept away by the tide which
passed in front of the buildings. They
climed on the roof, and, as has already
been told, contrived, in their extreme
eagerness to escape, to set it ‘bn fire in
doing so. But the more remarkable
circumstance remains to be told. The
man who gave the alarm, and who was
the means of saving the lives of so many
of his fellow-workmen, lost his father,
mother, wife, and two children, who
lived at Malin- Bride, and his own bed-
into the mills where he, with others was
a prisoner— a distance of not less than
two and a half-miles. - In another part
af Kelh'éni Island, a man and his wife,
who occupied asmall'cottage, on hearing
the noise of the waters, went out to save
he torrent, and the pig as well.”
