How to Escape a Draft.
To every patriotic citizen, and especially
to every enrolled man in Norwalk, the ques-
tion how to prevent a draft is one of most
serious consequence. Our depleted armies
need replenishing. The brave men now
breasting the hostile waves of treason at the
front demand of us assistance. The Presi-
dent has issued his end, and the men must
be forthcoming. Our quota is about one
hundred. The number of enrolled men lia-
ble to draft; about 1200. Our Selectmen are
doing and will continue to do,what they can.
But who needs to be told that our Selectmen
alone and of themselves cannot save us from
the inexorable hardships of a draft, unless
the People, with a united and determined
purpose, lend their aid. It has been sugges—.
ted, (and we think the idea worthy of a
practical trial,) that we hold a public Mass
Meeting at once. That every enrolled man
be then and there requested to subscribe a
sum, say $10 each, to add to the Bounties
already given. This would put $100 more
per man into the hands of our Selectmen for
recruits. They will now pay $200 for the
procuration of each and everv man who eu-
ters either the Army or Navy, to the credit
of the town. This makes a total of $1250
to each man from N orwalk, and if still an-
other hundred dollars per man can be raised,
it places as by so much ahead. But there
are other appliances and instrumentalities
which should not be overlooked. We have
alarge number of wealthy, liberal and pat-
riotic men, too old to serve themselves. Let
every such man, as a duty he owes the cause,
secure at once and at whatever needed cost
a personal representative in the ranks of the
Union Army, which substitute shall apply
to lessen the quota of the town. Many rc-
cruits may thus be secured,and many worthy
citizens, pecuniarily unable to secure their
own exemption, who,nevertheless, could not
respond to a draft without peculiar sacrifice
and suffering, be relieved. And still another
potent agency which should be actively and
earnestly inwked, is the personal aid and
influence of our Ladies. None have been
more ready than they to respond to the wants
of the soldier in the field. With willing feet
and nimble fingers have they wrought with
sublime industry to prepare food and gar-
ments for the sick and wounded. Let us
assure all such that our veterans at the front
need nothing so much as the augmented
strength of increased numbers. And could
a boiler duty or houOr be done those noble
braves who have fallen, and now sleep in
graves pleuteously bedewed with the tears
of their countrymen and countrywomen,
than to plaée again in the ranks as substitute
for every such fallen loved one? We on-
treat our citizens, both men and women, to
take hold with a will and earnestly co-Ope-
rate for this one great purpose and duty.

Another Invasion.
The rebel raiders who at last accounts
were retreating rapidly out of harms way,
when they learned of the return of the regu-
lars from their pursuit, seemed to have turn-
ed upon the militia, aud after some skirmish-
ing forced them back, whereupon they be-
came so emboldened that they made another
raid into Pennsylvania, reached as far north
as Chambersburg, which place they burned
and left in hot haste upon learning that Aver-
ill with his Cavalry was near. Gen. Averill
pursued and is reported to have overtaken
and severely punished them at Me Connels
burg. The raid asusual caused some excite-
ment,but it has sunk into insignificance un-
der the news from Grant.

'We noticed a few weeks ago his having been
Wounded at Spottsylvania, which resulted
in his losing an arm, and a week ago it was
said by his friends that a second hemorrhage
had set in, causing his death. This “Tip”
contradicted in the most emphatic and agree-
able manner, by visiting in real flesh and
blood his old acquaintances in this place.—
He was looking finely and doing well,'aud
we understand expects to rejom his Regi-
ment in the field again in a very few days.
We hope he will fare better hereafter, and
get more bars than scars.

To Capitalists.
We would call the attention of any one
having money to loan, to the adv. of the
State Treasurer, in another column, for the
sale of $ ,000,000 of 6 per cent. State Bonds.
This is a good and safe investment, the faith
and credit of the State being pledged for, its
payment, and our monied men cannot, in
our judgment, use their surplus incomes in
a better or more judicious way than by ta-
king up these bonds, and thus prevent the
sharp speculators of New York and other
ctties, snatching them up at a low, and even-
tually selling them at a high rate. The last
loan was nearly all taken by a. New York
house, through the apathy of citizens of our
own Slate.

Over River District School.
Our advertising columns to-day contain a
call for a meeting of the Inhabitants of the
Over River School District, to be held next
Friday evening, to act upon the petition of
some ten or twelve who desire to have the
tuition of their children entirely paid by a
tax on the property of the District. We
have always been in favor Of ample provi-
sion for the education of all, and we believe
that the lawa now in existence are quite ad-
equate lor that purpose. The law provides
that if any of the Inhabitants of the State
are unable to pay their tuition bills shall be
’ left with the Selectmen, and the same shall
be a tax upon the towns where such persons
live,.so that we have to all intents a free
school law" We trust that nothing will be
done to aflect the character of the School,
which has already taken rank among the
first in town, nor to cripple its usefulness and
efiicicucy.
Whatever the people of the Dis‘ricl. may
think upon this subject, we trust that the
question will be thoroughly discussed, and
the doings of the meeting characterized by
harmony, good feeling and wise counsel, and
that all expressions of opinion may be de-
livered in an orderly and respectful manner,
and received with proper attention, and that
the gag rule and disorderly conduct which
have too often attended the deliberations of
this District, will not prevail upon this im-
portant occasion.

The great event so long anticipated—-
namely, the explosion of a mine under
the rebel fort in front of the 9th Army
Corps—came off this morning, at forty
minutes-pastfour o’clork. Picket firing
was kept up all night ; and, in fact, at
the time the match was applied to the
mine, the skirmishers were still engaged
on both sides: The volumne of dirt
_‘ thrown up was immdnse, risinfi over three
’hundred feet in the air. It resembled an
' mense fountain of earth more than any-
Itlfi‘ing else.
_ The 9th Army Corps at once charged
the works, driving the rebels to their sec-
ond line of entrenchments and taking a
number of prisoners, some of whom were
dug out of the dirt bodly bruised. These
rebel prisoners state that only a dozen
remain of teeir regiment, a South Caro—
linr one.
As soon as the explosion took place,
129 guns opened on our front, while the
musketry blazed in one. continuous fire
along the front of the 9th and part of the
6th and 18th Corps. The smoke from
the guns soon obscured the view, and the
first particulars of success were gleaned
from those who came in with prisoners.
The prisoners say we completely sur—
prised those. in their front, they being
mostly all asleep at the time.
BALTIMORE, July 31.—-—All doubts as to
the good news from Gen. Grant’s army
seem to be removed. A later dispatch
just received, says the assault commenced
at 4 O’clock Saturday morning, by a ter-
rible eXplosion, which completely destroy-
ed one of the enemy’s principal forts in
trout of Petersburg, containing sixteen
guns. This was rendered a mass of ru-
ins. Immediately upou‘ this explosion,
our artillery opened with one simultaneous
and continuous roar along our entire" line.
Up to the time of leaving of the mail
boat (10 o’clock) we had captured two
outer earthworks and also the entire out
or line of the rebel entrenchmeuts. The
battle continued to progress with the
greatest fury.
LATER. . .
July 30—P. M.
Reports just in, say that we have posg
session Of the entire first lineuof rebel
works with a large number of prisoners.
Our loss in the charge was severe, as
our men had to cross an Open field to
reach the rebels.
The troops engaged were the 9th
Corps, with the 18th Corps supporting
them, the 2d and 5th Corps being in re-
serve.
Firiug is still going on with great fury,
consisting principally of musketry.
Gens. Grant and Meade, with all the
Corps Generals are at the front watching

SHERMAN ’S ARDIY
The Great Battle of Friday.
WASHINGTON, July 25, 1864.
This Republican, extra, says, :
Dispatches to the Government repre-~
sent that a great battle was fought in
Atlanta on Friday, resulting in a horri-
ble slaughter, and a complete repulse of
the enemy at every point.
The Rebels, holding the largest part
of the city, assaulted our works with
great fury, evidently expecting to drive
our forces out of the city.
The 15th Corps, commanded by Gen.
Frank Blair, seemed to be the special ob-
ject of Rebel wrath, as they massed
against it in overwhelming force.Thc 15th
received the shock gallautly and held its
own until Gen. Dodge, with the 16th
Corps, camp up, when the Rebels were
buried back With great slaughter.
Gen. Logan, at the head of the 17th
Corps, went into battle with the rallying
cry of “Remember McPherson.”
This Corps, as well as Blair’s 15th
Corps, both constituting the army under
Masten. McPherson, fought desperate-
ly, the news of the death of their brave
commander having been communicated tO'
them just before going into battle.
Gen. McPherson was shot while recon-
uoitering. He became separated from
his stafi’ for a moment, and a Rebel sharp
shooter shot him from an ambush.
The terrible struggle ended by repul—
sing the enemy at every point of the line.
It was arranged that on Saturday the
dead of both armies should be buried and
the wounded removed, under a flag of
truce.
Our troops buried 1,000 Rebels left on
the field within our lines ; beside which,
the Rebels buried many of their own
dead themselves near their works. Upon
this basis it is estimated that the Rebel
killed and wounded on Friday will exceed
6,000, the proportion of killed to wound-
ed in battle being about one to seven.
Our loss will reach 2,500 in killed and
wounded. The 15th Corps suffered se~
verely, the enemy's troops having been
massed against it. It was this act of the
enemy in part that cost him such heavy
loss.
The reports of the fight at Atlanta, are
regarded at Washington as highly satis~
factory, and indicative’of a much more
substantial victory than the mere occu—
pation of that city would have been. Ac-
cording to the ofiicial accounts received
since General Hood assumed command
of the army, he has lost over twelve thou-
sand men, while Generul Sherman’s losses
in killed, wounded and prisoners Will not
exceed thirty—five hundred [t is believ-
ed that Hood’s army must become so
thoroughly demoralized by his crushing
defeats and immense losses, which must
be still further largely increased whether
he continues his assaults or commences
an enforced retreat, that the remnant can
be of little benefit to the confederate-y,
even should the main body succeed in
making their escape.
General Bosseau, at the head of the
cavalry division, had reachdd Montgom-
ery, the capital Of Alabama, and penetra-
ted the country uasi. and west of it,
cutting the railroad at Opelika, that
being the junction of the Atlanta and
West Point and Columbus railroads.
He also cut the road toward Columbus,
also the Mobile, Montgomery and West
Point railroad in several places south-
Grcenville
and Garland.
While General Rossetti) ha~~ been doing
his work, General Gerrard was sent out
over the Gergia railroad, east of Atlanta,
cutting it in several plat-cs hrtweeu De—
catur and Covingtou destroying several
important railroad bridges and all rebel
supplies at Covington. Forty miles east
of Atlanta, two thopsntii bales of cotton,
a locomotive and train gf cars were de-
stroyed Two hundred prisoners and a
number of horses were ca fared Both
columns have arrived s:.i.- y at Marietin.
Lass trifling. ()ctterul Bassoon reports
a loss of only twelve men '
Both engagements delivered before
Atlanta, namely, that at Wednesday and
that Of Friday lust, lluW' been assaults on
the part of the rebels This is account—
.ed for from the fact that General Hood,
Johnston’s successor,- has been through-
- f 3;! r .
l out the campaign‘ one Of the most bitter
i Opponents of J ohustOu’s retreating policy ;
and he felt impelled the moment he was
placed in command to pitch in.
General Sherman’s latest dispatches
show an assured confidence in the capture
of Atlanta, though the prize may not be
won as speedily as the public had antici-
pitted.

Shall the Soldiers Vote 1'
UNION STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, 1
HARTFORD, July 27,, 1864. j
FREEMEN OF CONNECTICUT l
On the 15th of August next, you‘ will
be called upon to decide’ by your votes
whether the constitution of this State
shall be so amended that that the citizen
soldier may be allowed to exercise the
elective franchise, whether at home or in
the field. ‘
Elsewhere throughout the country this
privilege has been accorded, not as a fa-
vor but use right, and We trust that
you will now say, and by.an overwhelm-
majority that those citizens who protect
your firesides from the g invader’s torch,
and your country from destruction, shall
govern the country which they have per-
iled their lives to save.
Surely, there can be no higher qualifi-
cation for all the privileges of American
citizenship than that “acquired by actual
service in the army by which those privi-
leges are made secure. And yet there
are those, who, to serve the mean ends
of political party, would reader that ser-
vice a brand of degradation, by denying
the soldier those very privileges which he
hastaken up armsto defend.
Two successive Legislatures have passed
the amendment, which is uow'snbmitted
for your ratification, thereby endorsing
the principle laid down by Jefferson,
Jackson, and other Democratic leaders of
the Olden time that “the elective frau-
chise follows the flag under which the sol-
dier fought.” In like manner, then, as
the flag "renders the deck of a ship- above
which it waves, the soil of the country
whose name it bears, regardless of the
sea or clime in which it floats, so also
will it carry with it all the rights and
franchiSes which the soldier fighting be—
neath its folds enjoyed at home. This
indeed, was sound democratic doctrine
when war was waged with Mexico in the
interest of slavery : alwavs more consis-
tent, bowever, in their devotion to that
interest than in the maintenance of a po—
litical principle, the same leaders of the
same party’ who, in some states, extend-
ed a freemuu’s privilege to soldiers in the
wilds of a Mexican chapparal, now deny
it to those who are within our borders,
fighting for freedom and the preservation
of our national life.
. The soldier who sacrifices his business
Interests. leaving his family, and surren—
ders for three years or more his personal
liberty to serve his country, cannot under
stand why those less patriotic than him—
self, many of whom would sooner see
their country torn into fragments than
share his privations and dangers, should
alone have the privilege of making laws
and lawgivers, which he and his children
are bound to respect and obey.
If you reject the amendment, be under.
stands you to say, and you do say, lhat
to enter the service of his country is a
positive disqualification to vote for the no
Iers of his country ; but if you accept the
amendment, you tell him that he has
thereby acquired a new and more exalted
title to the highest privileges of a free
man and a free government. You as-
sure him moreover that just so far as he
follows the National flag to protect our
National honor, just so far you will follow
him to protect his National privileges.
Be not deceived with the hope that a
question so manifestly just and fair, will
not meet with opposition and that your
vote will not be needed. We advise you
in time that's. well organized and bitter
Opposition to this measure will be made
by those who justify secession and apolo-
gize for treason Let every one then dis-
charge his duty for himself, and say by
your own ballot whether the elective fran-
chise shall be enjoyed by the citizen sol-
dier, or whether you can with a clear
conscience ask him to accept as a duty
the dangers and hardships of the battle-
field, and volunteer to fight for the pro-
tection of your political rights, when by
that act, andnyourvote, or the want of
it, he has been made to forfeit his own.

We would direct your attention to the

one this week, from the Adjutant-General’s
Office, regarfling the procuringof substitutes
from the rebeliious States. The names of
the receivers appear in another column, and
as the number of deposits is limited to 150,
all who wish to avail themselves of the op-
portunity thus offered, will have to be on

The Government does npi pledge themselves
to furnish a substitute, but the chances are
good that they will, if not the money will

Vermont.
LunLow, VT., J nly 26, 1864.
Moonlight boat sails down to Baton,
especially in company with such pretty
girls as favored us with their presence
last Thursday evening, are very nice
things in their way. But not less de-
lightful arc railroad trips through the
sublime passes of these Vermont moun-
tales, and rides behind the fast horses of
this horse-breeding State. The girls are
not wanting either, as we found when
starting out on Monday morning for a
ride through “the Gulf,” in a large open
carriage, harnessed to a pair of animals
that had been evidently living under the
impression that cats are as cheap as ever
they were. Pretty girls ? With such
mountain air, such drives and such scene-
ry, how could they help being lovely both
in mind and person? And then Ver-
mont girls, catching the spirit of their
: faithful mountains, are true-hearted,
which is more than can be said of all who
"have their home by the fickle sea.
In the bracing air, to ride with such
company, over splendid roads, drawn by
. horses free as the wind, the route lying
through wild gorges between lofty and
broken mountains, varied at every turn
by stream and bridge, wood and mead-
ow, is to find enjoyment not unworthy of
a place beside that which comes from
yachting on the Sound.
"The Gulf,” which has been alluded
to, is a remarkable pass . between two
high and extended ranges. The road
gradually descends and winds, opening
fresh prospects every moment. The
heights on either side rise precipitously,
but are not rugged and bare as often
among the White Mountains,but clothed
with a dense and rich forest growth.—
Dashing along, as we did, through these
wild fastuesses of Nature, with those in
company who, young and ardent, felt a
common inspiration with ourselves, we
were impressed as seldom before with the
grandeur of the Creator’s works, and the
wonderful profusion Of Nature’s glories.
Whoever is tired of the war should
come up here. The locomotive, indeed,
screams several times a day thro’ the vil-
lage,bringing the city journal,aud the tele-
graph flashes the rnmor of recent suc-
cess. But the new comer, at least,
though he may not lose his patriotism,
loses his feverish impatience. Soothed by
the calmness of these peaceful hills that
lift their heads serenely into blue depths,
maintaining their majesty while vapors
throw their lace-wreaths round them, and
sunset rays kiss them lingeringly “Good
night,” the visitor or tourist feels a sym-
pathetic quiet steal over him, and for
once in this prolonged conflict is willing
patiently to wait.
But ye fishermen, I fear to tell you of
the trout. Brook trout, whose youthful
fish-hood has been passed in streams flow-
ing clear and cold from the heart of
mountains like these, are not inferior to
any prey sought by enthusiastic anglers.
Do not believe the stories of the numbers
caught. One hundred a day to a single
line ; five, six, eight hundred to a party
of two or three camping out for a couple
of nights. Such tales are decidedly fishy.
But the tails along with the bodies nicely
broiled, are decidedly real. Perhaps the
Grampls fellows will find it to their ad-
vantage to sail their sehoouer around this
way next Summer.
There are many other matters of inter-
est in connection with this section of
country, of which I may say a word to
the readers Of the Gazette in a subse-
quent letter. R. ‘B. S.

we marched through the city, across Chain
Bridge, through Georgetown, and about five
miles beyond, when we halted and bivou-
acked for the night. The next morning we
were cooking rations when the orders came
for us to report at Washington, which we
did, and marching to the Soldiers’ Rest and
getting our Supper, we began to prepare for
a snooze, which we enjoyed until 11 o'clock,
when we started for the foot of Sixth street
and embarked on board the Steamer Weno-
nah for thfs place, where we arrived a few
days ago, and are waiting for orders to go
wherever we are wanted. The boys are all
well, and send regards to all. TIGER.
