The Great Contest.
From the front the news is up to Sunday.
Everything was as promising as the most
sanguine patriot could expect. The last
great movement, by which Grant threw his
whole army fromthe Chickahominy swa mps
upon the banks of the James, is probably
the most brilliant strategetical achievement
of the war. For the third time, he has most
completely and successfully beiooled his wi-
ley adversary by flanking him, and that on
his left every time.
We have Petersburg securely invested,
and its fall, if not now fully secured, is only
a matter of a few hours’ more contest. With
our forces on the west banks Of the James,
we have not only an impreguable base of
supplies, protected by gun-boats, and thus
releasing a large part of our army, but the
location is one which will greatly contribute
to the health of our men. while it puts our
infantry in such supporting distance Of our
cavalry that these gallant trOOpers can effec-
tually keep all means of egress and supply
permanently cut, and also prevent the pos-
sibility of Lee’s escape without our being
instantly advised of his every movement in_
that direction. In fine, Grant now has the
rebel hosts so securely environed that they
must either remain and starve in Richmond,
or come out and fight him on his ground,
and behind his fortifications.
We doubt if history records a more quiet
and unostentatioua, yet moie remarkable
and important success than that achieved
by Grant in securing this last position. Let
the people possess their souls in patience
and hope on, firm in their faith in God, in
Grant, and the stout hearts and patriot arms
Of our heroic soldiers—for the doom of the
rebellion draws near. “His eyes is set!”

Aid for the Soldiers.
Of all the sublime manifestations of an
unselfish patriotism, exemplified during the
progress of this war, nothing has exceeded
the moral grandeur of the efforts of our no-
ble women to supply the means to assuage
the sufierings and succor the lives of the
fallen heroes Of the battle-field. By cottage
firesides, in village hamlets, densely throng
ing 'Our Churcheaand at monster gatherings
in our great cities, have they plied their busy
fingers, and with a zeal so eloquent of pa-
tient, earnest labor, as to command not only
the admiration, but the material aid of all.
Take our own little town as a sample of
others, and we presume $5,000 to be a small
sum as an aggregate Of what our ladies have
sent forward to the various organizations for
the relief of wounded soldiers. Then glance
atthe great Fair in New York, with its rail-
_ lion and a quarter of dollars, and new again
the one in progress at the city of Brotherly-
love—in this instance no misnomer truly—
where not only has New York been eclipsed
in extent and magnitude of display and at.
tendsnce, but where the receipts promise to
reach two millions of dollars! Then, inane
croaker. prove to us if you can, or to your
- owu disloyal heart, that such a people are
to fail in their efforts to suppress rebellion,
'. and assert the lawful authority of the Amer-
ican Union. Think you that our armies in
- '- the field. sustained and animated by these
self-sacrificing efforts of their wives, moth-
ers, sisters and daughters at home, will ever
give over the contest, till the glorious old
flag which now leads them to combat, to
wounds and heroic death, shall float, as of
yore, over every foot of our National de-
‘ main? If you do, you have read the recio
tale of their marchings and their fightings
for the past fifty days to little purpose.
And when peace-sacred, blood-bought
peace, shall again come to bless the land-—
ss ceme it surely will—then, and not till
then, will the people,and even these devoted
women themselves, realize the magnitude of
their efforts, the wonderful power and spirit
. of determined resistance with which they
have nerved the arms of the soldiers in the
field, and then, if not before, will croakers
and copperheads begin to realize how inefi‘a-
blyImean and dastardly have been all their
talk and actions against the Government
which even now shields, protects, and fos-
ters their ungrateful heads. '*

ticle on the “National Soldiers’. Cemetery,”
says that,“Couuecticut had in the Army un:
der Gen. Meade at Gettysburg, four regi-
ments of infantry—the Fifth, Fourteenth,
Twentieth, and Twenty-seventh." .
Our friends of the Palladium have made
one important omission, our Fairfield Co.
Regiment, the brave 17th, was also in it,and
fought nohly and gallautly through all the
fight, commencing with the very first day,
' and finishing with being the first regiment
that entered the city after the fight. It lost
many noble and gallant men in the fight,
among whom were its heroic commander,
Lieut. Col. Fowler, and the brave Capt.
Moore of Danbury.

have placed in the N. Y. & N. H..depot in
that city,a large case containing photographs
of all the “leading spirits” of that monster

counterfeits of the “great originals,” [Con-
ductor Basch‘s, for example (l),] we doubt
whether those of Superintendent Hoyt, and
more especially Ass’t Sup’t Quintard, could
possibly be improved upon.
‘ The Tabl'éarfx,
The entettiiipynent Of “living pictures”
given by the ladies of this place," at Lock-
wood’s Hall, last week, was a great success.
The large Hall was crowded, each evening,
with a delighted and appreciative audience.
The ladies and gentlemen connected with
the afi‘air, labored untiringly to make the en-
tertainment one of pleasure to all. and well
deserved the applause showered upon their
efforts. owing to the crowded state of our
columns, we are unable to give as extended
notice of this fine entertainment as we had
designed doing. We should be glad to see
the entertainment repeated at some future
day. ‘

The Fair and Festival Season.
The first ti'awberry Festival, of the Sea-
son, iu t .. inity was held at Ely’s Hall,
South Norwalk, on Monday and Tuesday
Evenings last, by the Ladies ofthe 1st M. E.
Society. The Hall was tastefully decora—
ted with evergreens, with a tempting re-
freshment stand in the center, and booths
erected on one side. Strawberries and
Cream, fruits, cakes, etc, were in abun-
dance. .
On Tuesday and Wednesday Evenings,
the 2nd Methodist Society, held their annual
Festival, at Norwalk Hall, and met with ex-'
cellent success, the Hall being well filled
each evening, with a well pleased audience.
In addition to the Strawberries, Ice Cream,
and other Refreshments, there were interes-
ting exercises by the children, aud'good
quartette and solo singing. The Festival
held by this Society are always attractive,
and well patronized.
The Ladies Circle of Industry of the 2d
Baptist Church, held a Fancy Fair and Fes-
,tiVal at Ely’s Hall South Norwalk, on Fri-
day and Saturday evening last. The Hall
was decorated the same as for the Methodist
Festival, and there was a large attendance
each evening. We dropped in on Saturday
evening, and found everything passing off
merrily. The net receipts must have been
very gratifying.
At all of the above Festivals, D’Artois was
present with his "celebrated Ice Cream.”
What could we do without him ?
The 2d Congregational Society, are to
hold their Festival, at Ely’s Hall, Tuesday
and Wednesday Evenings, of this week. The
String Band will be present each evening.
Up-towu people who web to attend, will
find the Horse Cars, “just the thing.”
The BURNSIDE LIGHT GnAnns are to hold
"a Festival at Ely’s Hall, on Thursday and
Friday evenings, of the present week. The
Wheeler & Wilson Band will furnish Music
for the occasion. The boys will have a
good time, and everybody will be there to
enjoy it with them, and give them encour-
agement.
The 1603qu GoAnns will hold their
first Festival at Lockwood’s Hall, on Tues-
day evening next. The committee will spare
no efforts to make it attractive and interes-
ting to all. It is to be held but one evening,
the admission has been put very low, and it
is hoped that the attendance on that evening
will be limited only by the capacity of the
large Hall. The Music for theoccasion, will
be very flue,——and will be under the direction
of Mr G. Allen, of New York. Give the boys,
a rousing benefit.

Musical Treat.
With much more than ordinary interest
we commend the treat in store for our citi-
zens on Thursday next, by the Spinning
Brothers. The Concert is of itself meritori-
torious and if its character becomes as fully
known as it deserves will give them a crowd-
ed house, but this is not all of the-story—we
copy from the New Haven Journal as fol-
lows :—
Iu 'uSIice to a deserving and patriotic man,
who eat his eyesight from disease contrac-
ted in the service of his country, we take
pleasure in commending Mr. Spinning to
any person or persons whose aid or acquain
tance he may desire. His noble and patri-
otic mother who residesiu Bridgeport, Conn.
is also blind, but she cheerfully gave her son
to the service ofhis country, ur ing him to
battle maufully for the right. e was con-
nected with the 2d Conn. Light Battery.—
He served most faithfully till discharged,
because his vision was seriously and perma-
nently impaired. He was asked soon after
his misfortune, if he did not regret having
lost his eyesi ht in such a wicked war ?—-
“NO,” replie the sightless hero, “ If my
vision should be restored to-day, I would
enlist in the service of my country to-mor-
row.” His soul is fired with true and
quenchless patriotism. He is an excellent
singer, anda good musician. His voice is
unusually deep. clear, melodious, and is un-
der perfect control. His patrioticsongs mel-
ted, and his humorous ballads convulsed the
large audience of soldiers, who repeatedly
and earnestly manifested their approbation
of his singing. As he sung the “ Blindman’s
Lament,” a most patheticand touching piece,
composed for him by a brother, the stoutest
hearts were melted to tears.

Something New and no Humbug
One of the newest and best inventions of
the day has for its object and result the les-
sening of the burdens and terrors of “wash-
ing day.” Messrs. C. & E. K. Lockwood &
Co. invite our citizens to a gratuitous tr'z'al of
the article, confident that it only needs to be
tested to be universally adopted. The hou-
or of the invention belongs to a citizen of
Stamford—a superior chemist. It lessens
by one-half the labors of the family wash.
After seven months of trial in Prof. Silli-
man‘s family. he and his goOd lady pro-
nounce it a harmless-agent, so far as injury
to the texture of the finest goods is concern-
ed, and at the same time a thorough clean-
sing and bleaching agent. Its cheapness is
also one of its prominent merits. Send to
Lockwood’s, get a quantity and try it, and
then the good ladies here, as in other towns,
will save us the treuble of further announ-
cing the discovery of this woman’s friend.

CARROLLTON, LA., June 8th, 1864. '
DEAE GAZETTE—While sitting in my
tent doing nothing, methinks I will write to
you so as to let our friends know that we
still live in Louisiana, our adopted home for
the last twenty-five months, although we
have been to old Connecticut on {visit to
see our friends there. It is true we had a
longer furlough than we expected when we
first re-enlisted. But our copperhead friends
were glad to see us leave them, in glory,.as
they supposed, but what do they think qu
as regards the news from the Armies of the
Potomac and Cumberland. A few more
such, and this'war will cease to exist. You
have heard of the temporary. blockade of
the Mississippi River, it will not last long,
for there are troops enough here to stop all
such operations. Wehave not as yet moved
from our position. . We have a beautiful
piece of level ground for our camp, such as
is generally found in the low land of this
State. We are near the river, only a road
and levee, which is about eight feet higher
than the ground on which our camp is
pitched. More or less boats pass here every
day, and during the night we occasionally
hear them puff from their high pressure en-
gines. Our Regiment is now doingprovost
duty at the village of Carrolton, also on the
New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad. The
duties are not very fatiguing, and the boys
seem to like it very much. At guard mount~
ing the Adjutant picks out the tidiest for
provost duty, so the boys try to excel each
other in clean clothes, shoes blacked, &c.
We have shelter tents, which are very good
in dry weather, but when it rains. oh, dear,
how they leak. We take our Rubber blank-
ets and spread them over the canvass, and
—let it rain, as it generally does in this
country. This morning your welcome pa-
per came to us and was read with interest.
We send our kindest regards to all at home.
From yours, as ever,

A Gratifying Surprise.
As complete a surprise as generally takes place.
came ofi‘ on Monday afternoon last, at the Hat Man-
ufactory of Crofut, Knapp lb 00., South Norwalk. -
The employees of the firm. desiring to furnish
some tangible expression of the mutual good feel-
ing which existed between themselves and their
employers, presented Messrs. A. J. Crofut and J as.
H. Knapp, each with two handsome pieces of-silver
late.
p Mr. Jos. Benton, of the Blocking department, in
a neat and apprbprlate manner presented Mr. Cro-
fut with a beautiful silver Cake Basket and silver
Castor, followed by Mr. L. P. Foote. of the Finish-
ing department, who also in an agreeable manner
presented Mr. Knapp with a handsome silver Ice
Pitcher. and silver Castor.
The affair was such a complete surprise to the
two gentlemen interested, that but little could be
said on their part; but “actions" it is said “speak
louder than words," and the adage proved true in
this instance.
This expression on the part of the employees
would naturally call fora similar one on the part of
the employers, so on Wednesday last the employees
were invited to partake of Ice Cream, Strawberries
and Lemonade, which they accordingly did. Beth at-
fairs passed off very pleasantly. And may the feel-
ings which prompt such actions not only continue.
but increase, that unity and harmony may ever go
hand in hand at the Factory of Crofut, Knapp d’rCo .
“A Looxna ON.”
WWe learn that on Saturday last, Mr. S. G_
Ferris, on behalf of the ladies connected with the
above establishment, paeseuted Messrs. Crofut d;
Knapp, with a silver Sa ver and two Goblets each,
These gentlemen must feel much pleased by these
evidences of good will from their employees.

In Memoriam.
Sergeant Nichols, of Ridgefield, a mem-
ber of the 7th Reg. Conn. Vols, fell in the
recent fighting of Gen. Butler, at Bermuda
Hundreds. From a letter written by the
Chaplain of the Regiment to the Sergeant’s
wife, from Bermuda Hundreds, under date
of J une 5th, after speaking of the great re-
gard that the officers and men of theRegi-
ment bore for him, he thus speaks of the
manner of his death:
“Your husband was mortally wounded
on May 16th, 1864. He was acting as Or-
derly Sergeant of his Company on the day
of his death. He was fighting mantully at
the head of his Company, when a musket
ball struck the top of his head,knocklug, ‘
him to the ground. Ina few moments he
arose in his place, saying, ‘I am not as badly
injured as I at first supposed.’ Hrs wound
bled profusely, and his Captain (Townsend)
advised him to go to the rear. The Scr-
geaut’s heroic reply was, ‘1 will, after 1 hate.
emptied my magazine.” The Spencer Rifle,
with which our Regiment is armed, contains
a magazine,which will hold eight cartridges.
These can be discharged rapidly without re-
loading. There in the rifle pit stood this no-
ble and heroic man, hurling death upon the
advancing enemy, while the blood flowed.
from his wound. He fought from principle,
He was a true patriot. He comprehended
the important and stupendous issuesiuvolved
in this struggle. Soon after your husband
wasfirst wounded, he was again struck by
a rifle ball, which passed through both hips
from side to side. He was carried to a house
a mile to the rear. He was wounded at 9
o’clock, A. M. on the 16th, and died at 12
o’clock, M., on the 17th. Although our
lines were severely pressed by the enemy,
your husband was brought off the field, and
died at the Corps Hospital, within our Own
lines. His body was carefully buried in a
soldiers’ burial ground, near the place where
he expired. This burial ground has been
carefully surveyed by an engineer, and you
will have no difficulty in hereafter identify-
ing the spot where your husband’s body
rests.“ * * *

55 miles march, crossing the Chickahomi-
ny and James River, the latter 2000 feet
wide and 84 feet deep at the point of
crossing, and surprised the enemy’s ’rear
at Petersburg. This was done without
the loss of a wagon or piece of artillery,
audonly about one hundred and fifty
stragglers were picked up byIthe enemy.
In covering this most brilliant movement
Warren’s corps and Wilson’s cavalry had
frequent skirmishing with the enemy,
each losing from 50 to 60 killed and
wounded, but inflicting an equal if not
greater loss upon the enemy.
- The 18th corps, Smith’s, were trans-
ferred from .White House to Bermuda
Hundred by water, and moved out near
to Petersburg' the‘night of their arrival
Ioud surprised, Or rather captured the
'very strong works Northeast of Peters-
burg, before a sufficient force could be
got in them by the enemy to hold them.
He was joined the night following, by the
2d corps, . which in turn captured more
fo the enemy’s redonbts further south,
and this corps was followed by the 9th
with the result above stated. All the
troops are now up, except two divisions
covering the wagon trains and they will
be up to night. I
The enemy in their endeavors to rein-
force Petershurg, abandoned their en-
trenchmeuts in front of Bermuda Hun-
dred. IThey no doubt expected troops
from north of the James River to take
their place before we discovered it. But-
ler took advantage of this and moved a
force at once upon "the Railroad and
plank road between Richmond and Po-
tersb’urg. which I retain possession of.
Too much credit cannot be given the
troops and their commanders for the en-
ergy and fortitude displayed the last five
days. Day and night has been all the
same, no delays being allowed on any
account. .
Later unofiicial dispatches show that
at 8 o'clock this morning the enemy still
occupied Petersburg. Major Morton
was killed in an assault yesterday. Noth-
ing to day from Sherman or Hunter.

WASHINGTON, June 18.—ll r. it.
To Major Gen. Dix, N Y.
Dispatches from General Sheridan
have just been received, he reports a
victory over the enemy at Trevilliun Sta
tion on the Virginia Central Railroad
a few miles South of liordousville, where
Geri. Lee a few days ago reported a
rebel- victory. The ofiicial report is as
follows .- ' '
~ I have the honor to report to you the
arrival of my command at this point, al-
so to report its operations since leaving
Newcastle Ferry. I crossed the Pamun
key River on the 7th lust. marching via
Aylett’s, and encamped on Herring
Creek. On the morning of the 8th
resumed the march "via" Pole Cat Station
and encamped three miles West of the
Station. On the 9th marched through
Childsburg and New Market eucamping
on Ene creek, 'uear Young’s bridge. 0n
the 10th marched via Andrew’s Tavern
and Tevimau's Store, crossing both
branches of the North 'Anna' and en.
camped at Buckchilds, about three miles
Northeast of Treviliau Station. My in-
tention was to break the Railroad at
thisstatiou., Marcbed through Mechan-
icsville, cut the Gordonsville and Char-
lottesville Railroad near Lyndsay’s House
and then to march on Charlottesvilfe,
but on arriving at Buckchilds House I
found the enemy’s cavalry in‘ my immedi-
atefro’ut. On the morning of the 11th
GengTorbett with his division .and Col-
Gregg’s brigade'of Gen. Greggh division
attacked the enemy, and after an obsti-
nate contest drove him from succesrive
lines of breastworks through an almost
impossible forest back on Trevillian Sta-
tion.‘ It the meantime Gen. Custis was
‘ordered with his brigade to proceed by
a coutrary'roud so as to reach the station
«in the rear of the enemy’s cavalry. On
his arrival at that point the enemy broke
- into a;.~complete rout, leaving his dead
- undiiucarly all of his wounded In our
hands, also 20 ofiicers and 500 men and
These operations occupied
the whole of the day. At night I on-
.. camped, at Trevillian Station, and on the
morning of the 12th commenced destroy-
. ing the Railroad from this point to Lou-
isa Court House. This was thoroughly
done, ties burned and rails rendered un-
servicehble. The destruction of the
Railroad occupied until 3 o’clock of this
~da‘y.I Idirected Gen. Torhert to ad
vauce with his division, Gen. Davis’
brigade of Gen. Gregg’s division in the
direction of Gordonsville, and attuck'fhe
'enemy‘who had concentrated and been
reinfOrced by infantry during the night,
and had also constructed rifle pits at a
point about five miles from Gordousville
The-enemy’s position being found too
strong to easault, no general attack on
the extreme right of their line was made.
A-portiOn of the reserve brigades carried
.the’euemy's-works twice, and was twice
‘ driven therefrom by infantry, and night
clused the cOutesf.' I found on examina-
tion of‘the command that there was not
a sufficiency of ammunition left to con-"
tlnue-the engagement. ' The next day
‘ti‘aius’of cars also came down to where
"we were engaged with the enemy.

very inferior quality, and generally at.
such points as were inaccessible to us.
The cavalry engagement of the 12th,
was by far the most brtlliant one of the
present carnpaign. The enemy’s loss
was yery heavy. They lost the follow-
ing named officers in killed and wounded:
Col. McAlister. commanding regiment,
killed; Brig. Gen. Rossir, commanding
brigade, wounded ; Col. Alter, command-__
ing regiment, wounded. My loss in
killed and wounded will be about five
hundred and seventy-five, of this number
four hundred and ninety were wounded.
I brought of! in my ambulances three
hundred and seventy-seven, all that could
be traOSported. The remainder were
into my hands, left behind. Surgeons
and attendants were detailed and remain-
ed in charge of them. I captured and
have now with me 370 prisoners of war,
including 80 commissioned officers. My
loss in captured will not exceed one bun-
dred and sixty. They were principally
from the 5th Michigan cavalry. This
regiment gallautly charged down . the
Gordonsville road, capturing fifteen hun-
dred horses and. about eight hundred men,
but were finally surrounded and had to
give them up. When the enemy broke
they hurried between Gen. Custer’s com-
mand and Col. Gregg’s brigade, captur-
ing five cassious of Perriugtou’s battery,
three of which were afterwards recaptur-
ed, leaving in their hands two cassious.
A more detailed report will be made
hereafter.

To Maj-Gen. Dix, 1V. Y..- ‘
This evening a dispatch from City
Point, dated 'at nine o’clock this morning
reached the Department. It reports
that our forces advanced yesterday to
within about a mile in front of Peters-
burg, where they found the enemy occu-
pying a new line of intrencbments which,
after successive assaults, we failed to car-
ry, but hold our own and have intrenched
our advanced positions. From the forces
of the enemy’s new line it is inferred that
Beauregard has been reinforced from
Lee’s army. No report has been receiv-
ed by the department concerning the
casualities of our army iii its operations
since crossing the James river, except
the death of Major Morton," mentioned
yesterday.
Gen. Sherman reports to-day that the
enemy gave way last night in the midst
'of durkues and storm. and at daylight
our pickets entered his line from right to
left. The whole army is now in pursuit
.as far as Chattahoochee. I start at once
for Marietta.
Nomilitary intelligence from any oth-
er quarter has been received today.
