Result of Sherman’s Late Bat-
’ tles.
NEW-YORK. August 2.-—NASHVILLE,
July 3l.—A congratulatory address has
been issued by Gen Thomas to the Ar-
my of the Cumberland on the brilliant
success in the late battles. He states
our loss on the ‘20th at 1,773 killed
wounded and missing ; on the 22d at
3,500 and ten cannon. The rebel loss
on the 20th was 6,000 while seven stands
of colors were taken ; on the 22d 18
stands of colors were taken and 5,000
stands of arms, and the rebel loss in kill-
ed was 3,200, besides 3,200 prisoners.
Correspondents say the battle of the
28th was a complete defeat of the rebels
as that of the 22d. Six hundred and
forty-two dead rebels were buried by our
forces after the battle.

Secession Conspiracy.
‘ ST. LOUIS, July 28th.——The St. Louis
Democrat publishes a long account of the
conspiracy for the erection of a north-
western Confederacy by the order of
American Knights. The real object is
to embarrass the Government in the con
duct of the war ; to overthrow the Gov-
ernment if necessary for the supremacy
of the Order.
Its professions and purposes are dif
ferent in different states, proclaiming a-
war policy in New York. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and other. Eastern states,
while in the West, it is for sauce.
The order is of southern origin, erected
on the ruins of the- Knights of the Gold
on Circle. The rebel Gen. Sterling Price
is the supreme commander.
Vallandigham while in Richmond was
made supreme commander of the north-
ern section.

Shall our Soldiers Vote?
This question of decency, justice and
patriotism is to be voted upon next Monday,

ticut record his earnest AYE! Old Pennsyl-

The Cause.
The event of the past week was the explo-
ding of a mine under one of the rebels' chief
fortifications in front of Richmond. The
plan seems to have been a most admirable
one, but the evocation turned out a miserable
failure. It was the old story over again,
“somebody blundered.” The effect upon the
popular pulse seemed most dispiriting, and
while the bungling performance was dis-
graceful to the last degree, we can see in it
no such significance as to occasion either the
joy of the secesh sympathizers or :the.
gloom of the loyal. Our loss seems to have
been between four and five thousand, and
that of the rebels considerably less. On Fri-
day morning the rebs attempted a similar
piece of strategy upon us and failed more
signally than we did in our attempt, with a
heavy loss to themselves. Otherwise all re—
mains quiet on the James, while the theatre
of active operations is understood to have
again been transferred to the region of the
upper Potomac. A considerable force has
been dispatched after the raiders, and strong
hopes are entertained, by those supposed to
know, that we shall succeed in destroying
this force, A few days will develop this im-
portant movement. ,
Another severe assault upon Sherman’s
lines were made by Hood last Thursday and
as before, repulsed with severe loss, stated
at 10,000. Sherman seems to hold Atalanta
and the Rebel army in his grip.
Hunter has been in turn superseded by
Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Hooker also ordered to
Washington to assume an important com-
mand. An exchange of the officers placed
under fire at Charleston has been effected
and among the number we notice Gen. Wes-
sells and Capt. Crofut of this State. Survey-
ing the whole field of war, the cause Of the
Union certainly looks bright and hopeful to
our vision.

Recruiting.
The work‘of recruiting goes bravely on.
Our town officers are exerting every nerve,
the committee to solicit funds are doing all
they can, and meeting with most gratifying
success, while a number of our wealthy citi-
zens not liable to a draft, have generously
and patriotically put in a representative to
stand to the credit of the town. Yet much
more requires to be done, and let every man
who can, possibly, go himself, and those who
can’t, procure another to go in their stead,
with the least possible delay, and the gloom
of the impending draft which now hangs so
heavily upon us will soon be lightened up.

Sheep Killing.
Mr. Harry Nash of Chestnut Hill, Wilton
had 11 Sheep killed on Saturday night last
by two dogs which were traced down to
East Avenue in this town. He had 15 killed
some time in the Spring. This Sheep killing
by Dogs rs intolerable and ought to be put
a stop to ; if it can be done in no other way,
then kill off the whole caninc race. It is not
only a serious injury to the farmer,whom itde
prives of one of his surest and best paying
incomes, but also an injury to the mechanic
and laboring man, making as it does Lamb
and Mutton so scarce and so high as to be
beyond their reach, and also,tending to raise
the price of all woolen cloths, by preventing
our farmers raising a large stock for market;
for who doubts but that our State, which
is so well adapted for Sheep raising, would if
it were not for these pests of Dogs, raise
wool to a very large amount, every year,
Surely there ought to be some remedy for
the evil.

The Abolition Church.
On my way to the Congregational Church
in South Norwalk, on Thursday eve, as I
passed two men in conversation on the side-
walk, I hcard one of them remark to the
other, “Oh, that is the Abolition Church ;
there is an Abolition gathering there to-
night.” God be praised, said I to myself,
that there is a Church whose congregation
are so united in their desires for the emanci-
pation Of the slaves, and for their moral, so-
cial, and religious improvement, that the
whole of the Bible may be read and com-
mented upon, and fervent and heartfelt
prayers offered up to God that He would
“let the oppressed go free,” without giving
offence to any one of them. The time is not
far distant when every Church in our land-—
even theRomau Catholic—will'bc unwilling
to acknowledge they were among the last to
admit the claims of the African race upon us
to be treated and respected as human beings,
entitled with us to the right “to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.”
Worshippers in “the Abolition Church,"
the time has passed when any one dare “mo-
lest you or make you afraid” to pray for the
meek and lowly. Remember it has been
said by one high in authority that “he who
is least among you shall be the greatest in
the kingdom of Heaven.” The time will
speedily come when it will be considered an
honor to have been the first to advocate the
freedom of the slave, and if the re are afew
who, from conscientious scruples or other
cause,have withdrawn to worship where it is
not considered a duty to“go forth into all the
world and preach the Gospel to every crea-
ture,” it must be some consolation to you to
see that their seats have not remained vacant.
The people of the South charge upon the
Anti‘Slavery people of the North the cause
of their rebellion against the Government,
and upbraid them with encouraging equality
in the races, amalgamation, &c., but the
charge is as false in one case as the other.—
Where will you find a man at the North
married to, or treating with any degree of so- '
cial equality, a colored woman, however
light the shade? How would a man be
treated here who could so far degrade him-
self, and the race to which by nature he be-
longed ? But how numerous arc the instan-
ces all know who have visited the South, or
know anything of the habits of some of the
people there, of men begetting children by
their slaves, whom the laws compel them to
continue in the condition of their mother,
and still such men retain their position in
society. Emancipation is the only effectual
was of stopping amalgamation, which has
wrought so‘ much sin and misery to both ra-
ces.
Before the rebellion broke out, I had never
sided With the Abolition or Anti-Slavery
party, hoping that God would devise some
means to‘ rid us of this great stain upon our
National character without atrial of strength
of arms; but God’s ways are not our ways,
and I no longer feel it to be a reproach to be
called, as I will on this occasion subscribe
myself, ‘ . AN ABOLI'I‘IONIST.
It?” Said Andrew Jackson Hamilton, him-
1 self a life-long democrat, Southern man and
slave owner, in his eloquent and exhaustive
appeal to the citizens of Norwalk, to stand
by the Government in its struggle against the
Slave power, after thrilling his audience with
the recital of the arsons, the assassinations,
the hanging of the Union men at Texas—
including his own bare escape from death—
“if to hate and abhor a system which breeds
such God-defying monsters of cruelty, makes
ME AN ABOLITIONIs'r, then I am that.” In
view of all the atrocities of wickedness per-
petrated by this Slavery rebellion, both
North and South, it strikes us that the once
frightful name of “Abolitionzst” is rather a
“conservative” designation.

NEW ORLEANS, July 29th, 1864.
Enrrons GAZETTE :—I take pleasure in
forwarding you the names of officers and
men just arrived here from Tyler, Texas, on
exchange. On their arrival,as they marched
up the street, they presented a most misera-
ble appearance, very poorly clad, many sick
from long confinement and poor living, al-
though they appeared very checrful and
happy. There were many officers and men
from New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is-
land, and Western Regiments. These men
and officers are being paid and clothed as
fast as possible. They have been in rebel
prisons for six months to two years. The
sick are convalescing, many will be fur-
loughed or returned home at the termination
of their service to spin their yarns and glad-
den the hearts of loved ones. .

LUDLow, V'r., Aug. 1st, 1864.
What a happy thing is companionship!
Two persons exploring the same scones to-
gether will enjoy ten-fold more than one
alone. What a forlorn time he must have
who takes a skiff or sail-boat and cruises by
himself amongst the islands of Norwalk
Buy! He will get plenty Of fish and clams,
but ours be the delicious charms of moon-
light, and sweet songs from gay voices, and
the lively joke, and the quiet reverie, and the
‘happy laughter that combine to make an
evening excursion over the breezy waters
one of the delightful scenes which memory
loves to recall. How it adds to the tourist’s
pleasure, while seeking recreation and im-
provement among these Northern moun-
tains, to fall in with some party bent on the
same errand, with whom, through the free-
dom of travel, 110 can soon place himself on
terms of intimacy. The rocks you clamber
over, amidst cascades and rapids, are all the
more picturesque if a little hand is clasped
in yours, and gay voices above and below
you awaken or rc-echo your exclamations of
delight. -
Cavendish Falls—a short ride from here—
though not even a Niagara on a small scale,
has many attractive features. The Black
river breaks through the mountain barrier
that would imprison it, and, descending
through a broken and winding gorge, reach-
es the levels beyond the hills. But that a
visit to this beautiful spot may linger in your
memory likca strain 'of music, you should
have such company as we had. Its waters
are more lustrous when reflected in the
bright glances of bright eyes; the melody of
its sparkling wavelets broken into spray as
they tumble over jagged rocks, is sweeter
when blended with the joyous tones of
laughing girls. To clamber along the cliff,
and down the jutting rocks, to sit in “Cupid’s
Temple,” and peer into the dark recesses of
the “Cave," Would be very stupid if you had
to do them alone, but are very nice and
pleasant things indeed to do when fair friends
as pretty as the graceful forms that spring
from the clefts at your feet, cling timorously
to your hands, and are lifted laughingly over
obstructions so kindly varying the way,
while just one or two male friends are with
you to share responsibility.
A favorite drive here is around the Lakes,
three gracetul sheets of water, of which the
'Black river is the outlet. For variety of
view, for grandeur and picturesqueness of
scene, for completeness of feature, this drive
equals any we have‘ ever enjoyed, and this
statement is to be taken independently of
the fast Vermont horse before us, and the
sweet Vermont girl at our side, by whom its
attractiveness was certainly enhanced.—
Mark, we did not say fast Vermont girl.
There are no fast young ladies here; not
that they are slow; they are simply good.
The roads add much to the enjoyment of
these pleasure drives. They are the exact
opposite of the dusty, level avenues over
which horse fanciers like to try the mettle
of their steeds. Only Vermont ponies can
make quick time over these irregular cour-
scs. One needs to come here to get the cor-
rect idea of a hilly road. Descents so steep
that you lose sight of the span before you,
except the tips of their ears, are not unfro-
quently found, and they give a decided zest
to the excursion when you get used to them.
Winding by the side of streams that start on
their journey for up the mountain defiles,
these roads offer you a perpetual surprise, at
one time passing under rows of maples that
arch over through broad meadows, again
bringing you into a- wild pass between frown-
ing heights, with scarcely room for your
wheels left by the brook that first opened a
passage through these granite walls.
whatever route you take, everywhere, like
an omnipresent spirit of beauty and sublim-
ity, the grand old mountains are around you,
their wood-covered summits cutting a sharp
outline against the blue expanse Of sky.
Into this Paradise of Nature there are
many intruders like ourselves, and in a few
years, here, as among the wild recesses of
the White Hills, the great Hotel will raise
its pretentious head, and where now a dozen
miles away—in the Gulf or by the Lakes-—
we see Nature as the Indian saw it in its pri-
meval glory, fashion will hold sway, and
whatever is to be seen will be freely shown
—at fifty cents a head. R. B. S.

Wlntermittent Fever is a com-
mon form of bilions disease. The usual mode
of treating it has been with lorries, with the
View of breaking the chill, but nothing is done
to remove the disease of the liver and other
organs on which the chill and fever depend.‘
Relapses are the consequence. The patient
is only cured for a time ; he is relieved of a
symptom of disease, not of the disease itself.
OSGOOD’S INDIA CHOLAGOGUE does
not simply break the chill, but through its
restoring influence upon the liver, removes
the cause on wnich it depends, and thereby
