“Look out down dar—I‘se a gwine to shoot,
Look out der! don’t you understand l" .
New Song.
Shall we deal gently with traitors ? Shall
we speak soft and gingerly words to those
who sympathize with, and seek by every
means to encourage them in times like these ?
Why do lOyal men wince when traitors
only are spoken of ? Why so sensitive when
a tory only is impaled ?
We give fair warning now, that "we are
going to shoot.” We aim at trailers and to-
rics. N o loyal man-no true friend of his
country—no honest citizen who seeks for
the supremacy of the dear old Flag over this
land—in short, no patriotic citizen who hon-
estly wishes for the suppression of this most
wicked rebellion, need fear that we mean him.
If this is his feeling we would clasp his
hand with the firm grip of a brother, and
sink all minor differences in one supreme
desire for the success of. our arms, and a
righteous administration of the laws.
But traitors and torics, these are our game.
And the elements which go to . make these
characters, challenge only our contempt and
reprobation. We cannot respect them. It
would be a crime in the public to allow
them to go unscathed or unrebuked.
By the laws of God and man, treason is a
high crime. It is one ofthc gravest of
crimes. And treason against this Govern-
ment is aggravated by so much, as this Gov-
ernment is by far the most paternal, mag-
nanimous and forbearing of any other upon
the face of the earth. The future historian
will seek in vain for extenuating circumstan-
ces that shall palliate the enormity of this
giant rebellion.
.Treason may be regarded in two aspects:
First, open, and armed hostility to the Gov-
ernment. Second, secret and covert, yet ac-
tive hostility to the same. The first describes
Northern aiders and abettors.
A (cry is one who, lacking the courage to
array himself with the open enemies of his
country, with arms in his hands, yet secretly
sympathizcs with them, and rejoices in their
successes. .
If the former is mean and despicable, the
latter is most confemple‘bly so. If the former
is highly criminal, and is held by the laws of
his country as being worthy of death, the
latter makes himself a party to his crime,
while he sneakingly avaids the overt acts
which would expose him to this most right-
eous punishment. It is by these men that
the rebels at the South have been and still
are encouraged to continue their diabolical
crusade against the rights of man. It is by
thcscmen that the war still continues, and
the best and bravest of the land are pouring
out their blood, as a sacred libation to Liber-
ty and Law. -
_ Who gives aid and comfort to the enemy?
Tories. Who acted the same partin the war
of the Revolution ? Tories. Who led the
our citizens were robbed and plundered ?
Tombs. Who are tories 'mw? Those who
gloat over the success of Jeff: Davis & Co.
Those who rejoice when' our armies are re-
pulsed, or defeated." Let such characters be
blasted by the withering scorn of every true
lover of his race. Lovsn READER, we don’t
mean you!

Robbery in Danbury.
During the night of Friday last, the Office
of the Danbury &Norwalk Railroad Compa-
nyin Danbury was broken into and their
fire proof Safe was blown open with gun-
powder aud robbed of about eight hundred
dollars in money and six thousand dollars
in bonds of the Company. The Bonds were
afterwards found in an open lot some dis-
tones from the office, the robbers doubtless
being aware that they could not be used
without detection. We learn that about five
hundred dollars of the money taken belong-
edto the Rail Road Company, two hundred
to the Danbury Gas Light Company, and
about one hundred dollars to the congrega-
tional Society of Danbury. Mr. Williams,
Ticket Agent of the Rail Road Company
being, we believe Treasurer of the Gas Light
Company and the Congregational Society.
A travelling Circus had exhibited at Don-
. bury on the day and evening before the rob-
bery, and as such exhibitions usually draw
together crowds of people, it gave profession-
al cracksman an opportunity of prowling
about and making their arrangemepts for a
successful raid without creating suspicion.

The Late Metropolitan Fair.
on Tuesday'laat, John H. Gourlie, Esq.,
Chairman of the Finance Committee, of the
late Metropolitan-Fair, paid to the TreaSu-
tor of the Sanitary Commission the sum of
ment of the results of the Fair. It is estima-
ted that $100,000' more will be realized, and
devoted to the same noble purpose.
But the credit of this grand success is by
no means entirely due to the ladies of New
York. The Ladies of New England did much
to dnhancc the attractivenes of the Fair, and
swell the gross receipts, and the ladies of our
own towu come in for a large share of the
glory. The Norwalk Table was not only
one of the most prominent, but was highly
complimented by all, and thought by many
to bu the best Table in the Hall. We are
pleased to state, that, the pecuniary result
was very gratifying to our devoted and pat-
riotic ladies, the sales made by them during
the Fair, amountingto something over eigh-
teen hundred and early-three dollars !

_ The Circus.
Rivers & Derious’ Circus which is to ex-
hibit in this town fo-day, (Tuesday) is prob«
ably one of the most attractive exhibitions
now travelling. The Arab Troupe, which
exhibited in New York last winter, and was
very popular, are to perform in connection
with the Circus Company. They are said to
be the most wonderful gymnasts ever seen
in this country, and to surpass even the fa-
moun Hanlon Brothers. For particulars see

our New York Correspondence.
‘ ' New Yours, May 21st, 1864.
'. The arrest of Joseph Howard, Reporter
andcit'y edito'r'of the Brooklyn Eagla,has
at length solved the mystery of the forged.
Proclamation. Mr. Howard has been cor -.
nected'with leading New York papers, and
was, at one time, a "Washington correspon-
dent of the limes. He was the author of
the celebrated army of President Lincoln’s
"midnight journey from Harrisburgto wash-
ington,» in which a Scotchcap (andgclonk fig-
ured so conspicuously—a story having but
slender foundation in fact. Howard's ability
is conceded; his pen-and-ink sketches of
public men andpublic meetings stand. unri-
valled in thehistory of newspaper composi-
tion. Butwith all his acknowledgedability
and talent, he is thoroughly unscrupulous
and unprincipled. Originally a Republican,
he betrayed that party,'an:l enlisted in the
Opposition. Connecting himself owithvone-
of the most open and shameless of pro-
slavery newspapers, he laboredwith all his
power to serve his new masters in their most
infamous designs. . He has, in a measure,
succeeded in aiding the rebels, with what re-
sult-his 7x9 cell in Fort Lafayette bears wit-
ness. His guilt is unquestioned and unques-
tionable—his punishment will be sufficiently
severe; ’ ‘ ‘ ‘
The suspension _of the World, in conse-
quence of the publication in its columns of
the 7 forged proclamation, is 'now, it is be-
lieved, at an end, and that paper will proba-
bly resume publication to-day. ' I do not
think that the proclamation was published
with intent to deceive the public—indeed,
knowing as I do the personal character of
the night editor of the World to stand high
among his acquaintances, and being also
. aware of the vast responsibilityreefing upon
'him after two o’clock. in the .mprniugrat
which time all the other editorshand nearly
' all the compositor-s in the office, retire to
their respective homes-I have not the
slightest doubt but; that the forged document
was received by himas genuine, and so pub-
lished. The arrestof Howard, will, I think,
entirely. relieve the . gentlemen connected
with the daily press of this 'city from all
suspicion of complicity in the cohepiracy.‘ j
Massachusetts and Vermont have held
their State Conventions, and declined for the
. -re-electionef President Lincoln. ‘ It is now
almost certain that heiwill be unanimously
're-nOminated. .. . " ., ., . __ _ .
The Freinont movement does'not seem to
progress 'satisfactofily; The "Vparticnla’r
friends of the General “wish "it to be under-
stoodithat their Convention isto meet at
Cleveland, solely for thepurpose of nomina-
ting him for the Presidency, but there are
hundreds of others who have joined in the
can", desirous of'nominating'Gmnt+tbcyare
willing to=support "Fremont for the Vice
Presidency. The iFre'monters have estab-
lished their headquarters here-:Broadway,
near 12th street, is the locution, Attorney-
Gcneral'Cochrane and Comptroller ' Robin'-
son have united» in the callfor the Cleveland
Convention. It is 'a noticeable fact that
nearly all the movers for the Convention are
wife of Henry. B. Stantoo.Esq., a prominent
politician‘of Kings County, has :signed the
Fremont roll. Nearly 'all' the“ well-known
ladies who have figured largely in Anti-
Slavery Societies, are also for. the Pathfinder.
But I do not think that their action will tend
to induce the ladies of Norwalk to follow
their example. . ., , . _ ,

On Wedneeday mo g .last, people,
throughout the. country ,‘fb'startled to find
in the New York World,'(copperh‘cad,) a
Proclamation to the people of the United
States, dated “Exec"ntivéMansionMay 17th,”
and signed by tilt; President and Secretary
of State, in which a day of fasting and
prayer was unpainted, a call made for four
hundred thousand new troops, which the ex-
igcncics of the case demanded, and stating
that Gen. Grant’s campaign in Virginia was
furnished by the 15th of June next, and if
not furnished by that time, a peremptory
draft; was to be immediately ordered. This
issued,‘just when it was supposed we had
gained such important advantages over the
enemy at all points; and when it Was dis-
covered that the World, and” Journal 'of'
Commerce were the only papers containing
it, many doubted its genuineness, thinking it
very strangcthat those papers should so '
suddenly become organs of the 'Administra-v .
tion.’?"1‘owards night news came that it was
all a forgery, and. a heavy weight was
lifted from-many an anxious, loyal-heart. It
seems that cOpics'of the Proclamation were,
morning papers in the city, except the
the World and Jo‘urnulof Commerce detected
covered the fraud, and suppressed them.
During the day the offices of the World and
Journalof Commerce, and the Independent
Telegraph once, were taken possession of
by orders from Washington, -:.aud_ vfivettelea
graph operators ar-rested. The publication
of the papers was suspended, and business
at the telegraph office closed, under orders
fl'om Washington. Investigation into the
mysterious afi'air were immediatelyiustituted
by Gen. Dix, which resulted in the arrest of
Joseph Howard, city editor of the‘Brooklyn
Eagle, who confessed his guilt, and said he .
did it for the purpose of afiecting___the gold
market, it. being his inteptionnto buy gold
on Tuesday and sell on Wednesday morn-
ing. Another reporter has since been arres-
ted as an: accomplice, and both are now on-
joying the delights of Fort Lafayette. What‘
will be done with the scoundrels remains to
be seen. The.telegraph operators’ha‘ve been
released, and the papers haverbecn allowed
to resume publication. ,

Four WOOD, Brennan’s lemma, }
. N..Y. Harbor, May 10th, 1864.
(DEAR Gazn'r'nc z—Thinking something
from some of the members of the 17th Conn.~
Vols. wduld be interesting to the, readers of
your paper, many of whom have friendszin
said Reg’t, I take the libertyof writing you
a few lines, hoping you will see fit to pub.
lish them. . . , . .
There are about twenty men here from
our Reg't, all anxiously awaiting transporta-
tion to the “Garden of the South." .We were
sent from Knight General Hospital, New
Haven, and mom of us have been here three
or four weeks. Meanwhile squad; after
sound has been sent away to different De-
parfments, but none to Florida.
We are “cooped up" on a small island, on
which is quite a large Fort, called Fort
Wood. The island is very pleasantly situa-
in New York harbor. We can look off upon
the city, Staten Island, and'the New Jersey
place, for no passes are allowed here. -We
have nothing at all to do but lie around .on
the grass, eat, read, and smoke-which favor-_
ite pastimes I assure you are wellimproved.
{But“misery loves company? and We have
the'consola'tio'n of not being the onlyonesto'
enjoy this lazy life. There 'f'ar'e‘ about 150
convalescents' here, all waiting-to be sent to
their respective Regiments.. Besides these,
Corps, doing garrison duty.
.The boys of the 17th are all well, and the
.Norwalk'Gazet'té,"(Which some of as receive
from curd-lends at‘home,) is gladly received
by all hauds,for,in itand itbnly do we hear
'of the movementsof our Reg’t. Besides we ‘
get all the news of interest which transpires
in theState. j _- y ' ,
We have some very interesting prayer
meetings here every evening in the week,
and they are well attended. , Many fervent
and .Iearnest'prayers are-_ offered up forour
bleeding country, and the brave men who
are now struggling to maintain the cause of
Annexed is a list of the members of the
17th C. V. here, which I think is correct. ‘
