THE NEWS.

The latest news from the National Capitol
is that Washington is again “composed.”—
Not so the people. After permitting the
rebels to hang around the Washington de-
fences for nearly a week,the loyal people did
hope and expect that the audacious raiders
would be either captured or so crippled as
to thwart all their temporary success. It
would now appear that even the Govern-
mental authoritics expected them to escape ./
The people will not feel “composed” over any
such state of affairs. There has been less
authentic and more unreliable information
concerning this whole affair than any move-
ment since the War commenced, and this
very naturally adds to the popular impa-
tience. Where Hunter is seems enigmati-
cal—what our forces are doing in their pur-
suit of the fleeing foe, is a still greater mys-
tery, if indeed they are being pursued at all.
All in all, the rebel Iaid is a most disgrace-
ful occurrence. Particularly disgraceful to
Maryland and Pennsylvania, Whose want of
all militia organization has permitted it to
be three times repeated, and not at all credi-
table to the promptness and efficient action
of the Government. The panic-stricken far-
mers of the border may be only too well
satisfied to have the labs take their property
and clear out, but the dignity of the Govern-
ment requires a different dispensation. par-
ticularly when, as all concede, their capture
or destruction was entirely possible. A
suggestive dispatch intimates that Sheridan
ts moving up the valley expecting to trap
them in their retreat. We hope this may
prove true, but a well posted correspondent
also naively remarks that while Grant con-
fidently anticipates their utter rout, his for-
ces sent to do the work, will not be just
where he erpccls them to be at the proper mo-
ment to successfully execute his expectations.
Yet there can be no cause of discourage-
ment in all this. If the machinery of Gov-
ernment works loosely and inefiiciently in
the rear, it is only cause for all the more
earnest effort to furnish the Nation With
more men and more money. Everything at
the front is going on as successfully as can
reasonably be anticipated. The popular,
and to some extent unreasonable impatience,
will are long have cause to open its eyes to
the full development of some plan or scheme
now hidden in the tireless brain of the great
Chieftain who now holds the Nation’s des-
tiny on his sword. Gen. Grant is not idle,
and the present seeming inactivity in the
Army is only the calm which precurses the
storm. That the fate of Richmond, and
more than all, the rebel army is entirely and
securely within his power, we have no man-
ner of doubt, and yet it may take weeks and
even months to clearly and effectually de-
velop that fact. So that, taking in" the en-
tire field of Military operations, the Nation‘s
promise of success and triumph was never
more unmistakably assured. Let the people
keep faith, and if they would shorten the
time of the hoped for consummation, let
them greet the Government with more men
and more money, and God will prosper the
right.

A Valuable Statute.
One of the most important of the many
valuable public measures which have been
enacted by the present General Assembly,
says the New Haven Palladium, is the bill
providing that persons liable to a. draft in
this State, who since the first of June, 1864,
have furnished or may hereafter, previous to
being drafted, furnish an acceptable substi-
tute to the army or navy not lia ble to draft
in this State, shall be paid the sum of three
hundred dollars.
This enactment, while it will not; increase
the amount now paid by the State 130 enlis-
ted men, will greatly aid in procurinig enlist-
ments, since, under its provisions, every man
liable to a draft has an inducement placed
before him to become a recruiting Ofl.‘cer.-
His substitute secured, he is able to offer
him the full $300 paid by the State, together
with such additions as his own means may"
warrent, and this subject to no deductions
for broke rage, or other commissions. Un-
der the joint influence of this provision of
State law, and of the permission of the rna~
tional conscription act to recruit substitutes
in the rebellious States, there to be paid and.
mustered into service, (thus avoiding the:
transit through gangs of New York and
Philadelphia “ roughs,”) there need be but
little fear that private energy and State
agencies will provide against future expos.
are of Connecticut to the contingencies of a
draft.

While nearly all the adjoining towns have

- This may be owing to our long established

knowledge of the very generally extempo-

and keeps the midnight marauders away.—
However, some desperate villain so far for-

W Somebody up in Winsted pulled the
wool over the Editor of the Winsted Herald,
by selling him a “pet lamb” for six dollars
and a half, which lamb, after bleating itself-
and its innocent possessor nearly out of ex-
istence, he got rid of by exchanging for a
second-hand grave-stone, which was broken
in being removed to his kitchen for a table.
But his chagrin and horror were only con-
summated when he found his butcher had
actually sold him back a quarter of his ema-
ciated lamb for three dollars more! Such,
alas, are too often the rewards of honest Ed-
itorial aspirations for Agricultural felicities,
friend Clarke. We are particularly sensi-
tive on Black Hawk colts, imported Sufi‘olks,
and Shanthz'g/t chickens, and could "a tale
unfold to narrow up the blood”’-—but its

A SUPPLEMENTARY INCOME TAx.—Con-

ing a. special Income tax of five per cent.
upon all incomes, to be collected on the first
of October next.
upon the incomes of 1863. and, if we read

Our Grampus friends, now out on their
annual excursion, stopped at Holmes’s Hole,
Martha’s Vincyard,-'—a quiet, neat and thrifty
little Sailor’s Home and Sung Harbor,—-on
Wednesday, and arrived at the good old city
of Nantucket, so long noted in times gone
by as a whaling port, and famous as a nur-
sery for the rearing of glorious “ Long Tom
Collins” for our navy, on Thursday morning
last, in which delightful locality it was their
intention to spend several days. Ere this
time they are probably visiting places Of in-
terest on their “homeward bound” voyage. '

We have just received a private letter from
one Of the party, giving a brief sketch of
their trip, and as there are so many friends

HOTEL GRAMPUS, NANTUCKET WEARE, }

‘ July 14th, 1864.
We arrived here safely this
morning, about 10 o’clock, after a delightful
run from “Holmes’ Holc”—not the one in
Main Street, in your village—all well and
apparently happy. On Tuesday, out, we
hadseveral cases of sea-sickness on board,
and at one time the deck of our vessel pre-
sented the appearance of a hospital. “Our
mutual friend” Isaac, (to use an expression
of Artemas’s,) had it bad—had several of
them amputated. He thinks the feelings can
be known much better by personal experi-
ence than by any description which can be
given. He says, however, that he felt for
the first hour as though he was going to
die, and after that he was afraid he wasn’t.

Yesterday we landed and explored Gay
Head, scraped acquaintance with a school
ma’am, caught a few fish, bathed in the surf,
and had a good time generally. We shall
probably remain here over Sunday, and then
start on our return home, via the old Indi-
an’s birth place, “Nantucket, Cape Cod, and
all along shore.”

We received today several papers from
you, for which we are greatly obliged. They
wore very welcome. I have been trying to
get up a flirtation with some young ladies
who have been cruising about us in a small
sail-boat for the last hour. The attempt was
a miserable failure, and the reason 'one of
them gave was that she had no pocket-
handkerchief wherewith to reciprocate.

The trade of Nantucket has diminished to
an alarming extent for a. few years past, and
judging from appearances now, the only, ex-
ports are small boys and old houses. There
are now collected on the dock about 5,000
boys, each making some noise, which in the
aggregate amounts to a moderate sized
earthquake. If that story is too big for you
l—an old Grampus—to believe, I will take
off 4,850 boys, and you can cut down the
noise to suit yourself, provided you will on-
ly excuse my writing more.

Yours, 650., . .

P. S.—Some of our party have just come
in with five blue-fish. Please ask Major if
he don’t want to engage four or five barrels.

P. S. 2 (10 minutes 1ater)—-Another boat is
just in with three more blue-fish. Perhaps
you had better not offer in market over two
barrels.

: P. S. 3 (half an hour later)-The last boat
is just in with three more blue-fish. I think
you may go as high as three barrels and a
half.

From the 12th C. V. .
ALOIERS, LA., July 4th, 1864.

DEAR GAZETTE :—Since writing to you
from Carrollton last month, many changes
have been made by us. gSoon after writing"
to you we received orders to move, besides
being ready for the field. Blankets, dress
coats, and all unnecessary clothing was
packed away and sent to the city for stO'
rage. And on the afternoon of the 23d of
last month we broke camp and marched to
the landing at Carrollton, to take the-steam-
er~ for Morganza, but upon arriving therethe
12th Maine had got the start of' us and em-
barked on board: the boat, and there was no
room for us. So _we had to quietly bivouac
on‘ the; sidewalk until next day, when we
were marched ‘back to our old camp, when
the boys_ Went to wOrk‘ and pitched their
tents .to await transportation, which finally
arrived on the 26th, in theshape of a steam-
er, called the Ohio Belle, when we broke
camp and marched to levee and embarked.
While getting ready, our Chaplain brought
us a mail, but, I am sorry to say, we did not
get our usual Gazettes—we have not received
any since arriving from furlough. After ev-
ery thing being ready, we started up the
River, and on arriving opposite 19 Mile
Point, the port shaft broke and the cylinder
head blowed out, broke a horse’s leg, and
we returned to Garrollton once more to wait
another boat. After returning to Carrollton
we had to disembark and go into camp
again. On the evening of the 28th, another
boat came up for us, but we did not embark
until next morning; everythingbeing ready,
at 9.20 A. M. we started up the river. We
did not arrive at Morganza until the after-
noon of the 30th. While on the boat We
were musteréd for two months’ pay. - After
arriving and disembarking at Morganza, we
marched to a camping ground, and the boys
soon had their tents pitched. The next
V morning the ground was regularly laid out
fora camp, and soon we had a neat camp,
" but on the same afternoon we had orders to

camp and marched three-fourths of a mile to
the steamer Luminary, and found one Regi—
ment of our old Brigade, the 8th Vermont,
so we took the hurricane deck, when after
getting all ma commissary stores on board,
the 47th Pcnn. hove in sight, to embark on
board the same boat. Being a large Regi-
ment, we could not think where they were

going to put them, they numbering 1,179

men, but on the boat they were put, and at
9.15 we left the landing and started down the
River towards New Orleans, where we ar-
rived yesterday at 9 A. M. TIGER.

I believe my last letter to you was written
at Fort Ward, but we have been in this do-

Regiments-that were around Washington,

siege train with us Six companies of our ‘
Regiment are North, and six South of the
.Appoinattox River. Ilipve noticed in the
Herald and other papers accounts of the
shelling .of Pctcrsburg, but the credit is
generally given to the Regular Battery.
while the largest guns they have are .twenty
pounders. All the mortars, the one hundred
pounders. &c., are in the handsof the 1st,;

longs to Co. I, of our Regiment. 'Onr Regi- ‘
ment is stationed all along thclines, one bat-

abattery of guns that was taken from the

: batteries opened all along the line by way of

firing a salute—we did not use blank cart-
ridges, yet the rebs gave us no reply. There
was some heavy cannouading in the night
on the James River and also at Petersburg.
How long it will be before Richmond is ta-
ken no onc can tell, but we shall keep at
work not only until Richmond is taken, but
until the Rebellion is ended.

All is quiet this morning, except now and
then a picket discharging his piece. We
have lost quite a. number of men since we
first landed here, but not as many as the In-
fantry Regiments. J. D. P.

“BF-For twenty-eight successive years, P
T. Barnum has been a caterer for public
amusement and instruction ; the last
twenty-two years having been devoted to
the management of the American Mu-
seum. The daily expenses of the Museum
during the first months of his manage-
ment were only $40, being at the rate of
$12,520 per annum. Its daily expenses
we are creditably informed, are at the
present time $576, or $180,288 per an-
num. Notwithstanding this almost fabu-
lous increase in its expenses Of $536 each
day. or $167,768 each year, the price of
admission to the entire Museum and
dramatic performances (except a small
extra charge for front seats) has always
been the same, viz. : only 25 cents.

[Q-There was a large meeting at
Indianapolis, Saturday evening, to ratify
the Baltimore nominations. Gov. Mor-
ton was one of the speakers, and said
that the silence of Fremont in regard to
the prosecution of the war and the sup-
pression of the rebellion gave rise to the
‘most painful apprehensions of his true
position. He had carried his standard in
1856, and endeavored to sustain him as
a politician and a military chieftain, and
never until he saw that letter had be
cause to regret what he had done. The
letter gave joy to his enemies and pain
to his friends, and, omitting one or two
sentences, there is nothing in it that
might not have been written and sub-
scribed to without inconsistency by Mr.
Vallandigham.

of the name of Tyler, have been in the

United States service, and the recent
reported capture and escape of one of
them, have caused some confusion in the
public mind concerning them, which
might as well be removed. The Gen-
'I‘yle_r who was reported captured in the
fight at Monocacy was Brig-Gen E. B.
Tyler who formerly commanded a vol

nntecr regiment from Ohio, of which

rebellion began, resigned a. short time
ago. Brig-Gen. Robert 0. Tyler is an
ofiicer of the regular army, who at one
time: commanded the first Connecticut
Artillery. Afterward he had command

of the Artillery Reserve in the Army of
the Potomac, serving, with great credit
to himself and the country, Malvern Hill,
Gettysburg, and other important battles

Subsequently be had command of the
railroad defences beyond Fairfax, and
after Grant’s campaign began he was
sent forward with the first important
reinforcements which reached him, his
troops rendering most valuable service at
a critical time. In the desperate battle
of Cold Harbor, Va, on the 3d of June,
he received a severe wound in the foot,
which the surgeons in the field reported
would make amputation necessary. He
was brought to the residence of his broth-
er George F. Tyler, Esq., of this city,
where he still is, unable to leave his bed,
but witha certainty that his foot will
be saved. 01' course he was not the Gen.

The Nashville Union of July 14 says :
”Dispatches received in this city, this
morning, announce that three of our
strongest corps are south of the Chatta-
hOOche, and are firmly intrenched in the
abandoned Rebel works. We have very
few particulars in addition to thOSe al-
ready published. The Times of the same
date says: “An officer from the front
informs us that the Rebels at the front
havp fallen back within their outer line
of fortifications around Atlanta. They
extend three miles beyond the city, and
have been made very strong of late.—
There are 20,000 militia within the in-
trenchmeuts, everybody able to bear arms
having been pressed into service. John-
son will probably give battle there.—
The Rebels are moving all their supplies
from Atlanta to Augusta, showing that
they expect to retreat.”

'8. The Vicksburg Herald of the 12th
says, in regard to our late expedition to
Jackson, that our forces moved from
Black River on the morning of the 3d
inst. in command of Gen. Dennis. The
whole force numbered less than 3,000.
The enemy were not encountered in any
considerable force until the 5th inst.,
when they were found strongly posted on
the east bank.of' a creek three miles this
side of Jackson. A flanking force, com-
pelled the Rebels to abandon their posi-
tion, and our forces occupied Jackson
that night. The following day, as our
troops were leaving the town, a citizen
climbed up to the top of the State House
and signaled the Rebel cavalry, which
drew up. in line of battle on the north
Of the town. For this act the citizen
was shot. The enemy attacked our ad-
vance in strong force, but they were driv-
en back the next morning. Our rear-
guard was again assaulted near Clinton,
but the Rebels were again repulsed and
the ground strewn with their dead and
wounded. Our total loss was less than
100 killed and 50 wounded. We cap-
tured 30 or 40 prisoners

IG-The editor of the- Bridgeport

men killed in battle shall so increase the
proportion of females at the North as to
render the situation of masculine; some-
what dangerous. Fearing, a return of
those days mentioned by the prophet
Isiah, then “seven women shall take hold
of one man,” he is in the most melancholy
mood possible. It is so seldom that edi-

give the Standard man the benefit of
