himself, in a letter to the late drunken
'peace meeting at- Peoria, Illinois :
; . “The first grand step in this work of

Tarmistice would be worth more to the en-
tire country than a thousand battle-fields.
This I take to be the splendid mission of
the democracy at the present time, to se-
cure an armistice and make peace. If
this is not its mission, then I have mista-

’ clean. A portion of cast iron is then
melted in a crucible no bigger than a

flattering account of the prospects of- the
Potomac Army, asgiven by this promi-
nent ofiicer :
Gem-Burnside brings very cheering ac—
counts from the Army of the Potomac.
He does not see the reason for the de-
spondency which seems to prevail here, .
and to increase in proportion to the dis-
tance from the scene of active Operations.
-.—Gen. Burnside feels certain that the
enemy has been greatly weakened by loss-
es, and is wearing away under the con
tinual pressure of our forces. He feels
entire confidence in Grant and in - the
officers and army of the Potomac, provi-
ded they aresustained by the loyal peo-
ple of the North. He has no doubt that
Grant will take Richmond, or do some-
thing better. Our men stand the heat
quite as well as those on the other side.
Buruside,lalthough of cheerful tempera-
ment, is always a careful and honest ob-
server; and his opinion is of as much
value as any that could well be formed.
We regard it, therefore, as good cause
of encouragement, and important to be
made public.

FILLING THE BANKS.
Governor Buckingham having given au-
thority to recruit a new Company in Nor-
walk, the work of enlistment is measurably
prosperous. Yet it requires no prophetic
ken to see that, as at present progressing, our
town’s quota will not be filled in season to
prevent a draft of a large number of our clt-
izens. Many of those able so to do have put.
in substitutes already, knowing full well that
even the present enormous rates will be
doubled or quadrupled as soon as drafting
does commence. We have the assurance of
an officer in the Provost Marshal General’s
office that there are men enough to fill the
entire quota of our State, who could be had,
and would come forward were it not for the
dishonorable and dishonest practices of what
are denominated “substitute brokers.” These
men keep up an incessant strife among
themselves, increasing their extortions upon
the individual seeking a substitute, but in
very few cases, as we are assured, giving any
increased pay to the man enlisted, however
much his expectations may have been stim-
. ulated by promises made,but never kept. It
is for these and other sufilcient reasons that
the Government is determined to put a stop
to their wicked practices.
It behooves every patriotic citizen to look
things square in the face—and see this draft
matter just as it is. The Government needs
men, has called for them and must haae them,
else all the sacrifices already made goes for
nought, and it will not do for us who are
“out in the draft" to rely solely upon Town,
State or National bounties, neither can we
rely upon our Selectmen. They will do all
they can, but each and every loyal citizen
must put his shoulder to the wheel and give
the enlistment car a push forward. In no
other way can the inexorable hardships of a
draft be obviated.
There are many men who cannot without
extraordinary and apparent hardship enlist,
there are many others who can. Let us en~
treat all such to consider manfully and patri-
otically their duty to their country in this its
trying hour. Surely the skies were never
hung with more glorious bows Of promise
than now. Everywhere,from all points, our
armies are pressing the enemy, and every in-
dication gives the loyal heart assurance that
our enemies cannot outline arwther year of re-
sistance to the Armies of the Union. Be of
good cheer and FILL UP THE BANKS.
Bounties.
The Governor has very wisely ordered the
Paymaster General to divide the State Boun-
ty, and pay $100 to one year’s men, $200 to
two years, and the $300 to three years’ men.
This will materially aid the good work of
enlistments, and is as the Legislature would.
have ordered, had it been anticipated that
Congress would make provision for enlist-
ments for a shorter period than three years.
Naval Recruiting.
We have authoritive, though not strictly
official information from the Navy Depart-
ment, that Capt. McKecver of the Navy will
open a Naval Recruiting Office in New Ha-
ven, in the course of a few days. This will
» save to Connecticut many of her sons who
have hitherto been inveigled by substitute
brokers to credit themselves to the quota of
New York. Probably a dozen boys have
thus been lost to Norwalk alone. In allow-
. ing for Naval Recruits the enrollment law as
amended provides that “all persons in the
naval service of the United States, who have
entered such service during the present re-
bellion, and who have not heretofore been
credited, shall be enrolled and credited to
the town, ward, district or State, in which
they may reside.”
In New York, Pennsylvania, Massachu-
setts, and other States, Commissioners have
been appointed by the War Department to
inquire into the matter and determine the
1 number of men that should be credited to
those States on account of the Naval service.
Beware.
The War Department has given the Pro-
vost Marshals authority to arrest and impris-
on every substitute broker who may be guilty
of taking a recruit out of his own town to
enlist to the credit of any other town. Prob-
ably fifty men liave thus been run out of
Norwalk, and the evil has become so gene-
ral and aggravated that it becomes necessary
to correct it by the strongest measures.

RAIN, RAIN AT Lassa—“It never rains but
it pours” were a well fulfilled ad age on
Wednesday last. The “ oldest Inhabitant”
has made, or is ready to make affidavit that
never within his remembrance did so much
water fall in so short a time. It stood from
two to ten feet deep at times and places in
our streets, and about the same number of
inches upon the floors of many buildings,
including our office, thanks to the abomina-
tion. known as canvass, tar and sand roofing.
We have heard of one family in town that
narrowly escaped drowning, in. consequence
of this miserable, humbug roofing. Our
roads are fearfully washed and, gullied and
it will take many days and dollars to put
them in their former condition. Neverthe-
less Heavcn be thanked for the “ blessed

TIIE ANAItCHIAD—Edllcd by Luther G.

valuable addition to the local political liter-

putting in print these satirical productions
from the pens of tlic wliilom famed “wits of
Hartford.” We would suggest, en peasant,
in the event of a second edition, that our ed-
itor append a somewhat similar production,
generally attributed tO the gifted and satirical
pen Of the late Thos. G. Woodward, Of the
Old New Haven Journal, and known and en-
joyed by the elder citizens of New Haven
under the title of the “Democratic Republi-
can Caravan." The disintegration of the
old parties would rob the satire of all its
sting, leaving only its keen wit and humor
behind.

Death of John D. Lounsbury. !
On Friday last passed away, at the ripe ‘
age of 72 years, another of those connecting
links which unite the present active business
interests of Norwalk with the past, in the
person of John D. Lounsbury. It was sug-
gestivcly remarked in our hearing, when the
announcement of Mr. Lounsbury’s decease
was made, that “another break had» been
made in that rapidly diminishing circle
whereof Chas. Isaacs, Chas. Thomas, Eli B.
Bennett, Matthias Hubbcll, J udgc Butler,
Gould D. Jennings, and others, are yct'iiving
and honorable types,” and from whose active
business energies in other years, the town of
Norwalk but received the impress of her
present commercial position and prosperity.
Long may the noble remnant tarry with us.
But the memory‘of a man so long and ac-
tively identified with all that promoted the
prosperity of Norwalk is deserving of more
than this passing tribute to his worth, and
at another time we shall endeavor to present
a sketch mere in detail of his life and char-
acter. '

MEMI’BEMAGOG HOUSE, )
Newport, Vt., Aug. 15th, 1864. f
DEAR GAZETTE—I promised to write you
from this interesting locality, and will spare
a few moments from my artist labors to ful-
fil it. The town of Newport is located at
the terminus of the Passumpsic Railroad,
and at the head of a beautiful Lake known
as Lake Memprcmagog. This magnificent
sheet of water, 36 miles long, surrounded
by mountain shores, and dotted here and
there by small islands, indented with beau-
tiful bays, and its silver waters filled with
trout, muskalongc and pickercl, form at-
tractions for the tourist, the sportsman, and
pleasure or health seeker, unsurpassed in
the United States. The route is as follows,
New Haven Railroad to Springfield, and up
Conn. River Road to Brattleboro, thence up
Vermont Valley Road to White River J unc-
tion, and thence by Conn. and Passumpsic
Railroad to Newport. Passengers can leave
New York at 12.15 noon, and reach New-
port next morning at 6 22, or a better way
would be to stop at Springfield over night,
and leave at 8 A. M., arriving at Newport at
6.30 P. M. A night’s rest and the excellent
accommodations at the Massassoit House in
Springfield,will amply repay the delay in the
journey, and give passengers an excellent
opportunity to view the beautiful scenery on
the Conn. River Road.
But let us return once more to the starting
point, New York. What can be more de-
lightful than the scenery on the New Haven
Road from Harlem River up,fpassing Bronx
River and the beautiful towns and villas to
Portchester. Here we reach the first of the
numerous Harbor views; then Greenwich,
Coscob, Stamford, Norwalk, Westport,
Bridgeport, and New Haven, all out-leuking
ports on our noble Sound. From New
Haven to Springfield is very pleasant, but
after taking the Conn. River Road at the
latter place, then commences a succession Of
lovely villages and beautiful scenes at Hol-
yoke, Northampton, Dcerfield, Greenfield,
Brattleboro; thence up Vermont Valley to
White River Junction. All along this Road
the traveler is constantly passing along the
banks of picturesque rivers, under the shad-
ows of lofty mountains, through lovely vil-
lages and by murmuring waterfalls. At
White River Junction you take the Passump-
sic Railroad. The scenery on this Road is
so new to all, (the Read only. recently
opened,) that it must be seen to be apprecia-
ted. Passumpsic Valley is lovely and in
some respects more beautiful than the Conn.
into which it passes. The most important
towns and views are at Newbury, (Wells
river,) McIndoes Falls, McLarens,——where
Passumpsic and Conn. Rivers unite, and
where the mountains are particularly grand,
—St. J ohnsbury and St. J Ohnsbury Centre,
whose beauties have been photographed by
Vermont’s best artist (Gage, of St. J Ohnsbu-
ry); next comes Barton, and Bell Water
Pond, a beautiful Lake. Near here the wa-
ters divide, 2,000 feet above the ocean. You
pass a small pond whose waters seem
strangely uncertain which way to go; a .part
go South to the ocean, and a part flow North
to the St. Lawrence. From this point, as
we approach the terminus of our rou to, the
scenery becomes truly wild, tangled woods
apparently untrodden by foot of man, nu-
merous wild ducks are seen to rush through
the water and dive at the approach of trains,
and in many places it would seem as though
we were far from habitation of man, then
suddenly a. little village hid away in the
mountains bursts upon the view. But now
we approach Newport and pass along the
inlet to Lake Memphremagog; soon we cross
the inlet on along bridge,then in and through
the town, and at the door of the Mempre-
magog House. We enter a large four-story
building, with tiers of piazzas running all
around and overlooking the Lake—being
the only Hotel in Newport, you cannot very
well miss it. The proprietors, Messrs. Buck
& Pendar, (what shall I say without using
hacknied expressions regarding landlords,)
well, they make you feel at home, they do
all that men can do for the comfort of guests,
and the longer you stay the more you regret
parting. As to fare, it is the best not only
the country but Boston affords, the cooking
has that peculiar home taste, so desirable,the
table is constantly supplied with delicious
trout fresh from the Lake, and vegetables
from the farm belonging to the proprietors.
Mr. Webster, who has charge of the dining
room and seeing that all are comfortably
seated and provided for, deserves especial
commendation. And then to he waited on
by those blooming Vermont girls, who look
so neat and attend to your every want with
such alacrity‘ that to go away hungry from
such a table is impossible. I cannot close
this description of the House without allu-
ding ~to the bed-rooms, that are so airy, so
scrupulously clean and comfortable.
But now away to the Lake. Here we find
at the very door two steamers, one plying
the entire length, the other at your service
to go anywhere at moderate cost. Twelve
miles up the Lake is the Mountain House,
kept by Mr. Jennings, formerly of Crawford
House,White Mountains; this is an excellent
Hotel, and Mr. J. is very attentive. The
gorge in which the house stands is very ro-
mantic. Owl’s Head Mountain, towering
3,000 feet above you on either hand, behind
the house, is a great place of resort, from the
top of which you have a very evtensive
view. Here it is that once a year the Ma-
sons hold a lodge, (20th of May, I think,)
and perform their solemn rites. In front, on
the Lake, are beautiful Islands, of which
many romantic stories are told,and described
in a hand-book kept at the hotel. Passing
up the Lake the scenery is beautiful in the
extreme—villages and villas on either side.
Coming to the outlet you arrive at Magog,in
Canada. From this point travelers can take
stage to St. John’s R. 1%., thus gaining direct
communication with Montreal, and shorter
by sixty miles than any other route from
New York.
But you must not think we are here mere-
ly as lockers on. We came to catch some Of
these beauties of Nature with our Photo-
.graphic pencil. The following article from
the Newport News of this week will better
describe what we are about: “Messrs. Whit-
ney & Paradise of New York, and Mr.
Kuhns of Brooklyn, Photographic Artists,
have been spending a couple of weeks with
us and making a series of Photographic
views of the magnificent scenery in and
about Newport, and on the Lake. We learn
that the'iuost important of these views are
to be published in Harper‘s Magazine, with
letter press description. We wish them that
success they so richly merit, and trust their
trip will prove pleasant and profitable.”
In closing this somewhat lengthy letter I
would say to all its readers, the half has not
been told. Go and see for yourselves.

We copy from Harpcrs Magazine the fol-
lowing explanation of the 7-30 loan, and for
which we bespcak the careful attention of
our readers
The Seven-Thirtica—What are
They ?
“We trust that a large portion of our read-
ers have pondered the Appeal of Mr. Fessen-
den, our new Secretary ofthe Treasury. The
purport of it is that the People of the United
States acting as abody through their agent
the Government, wish individuals to lend
them two hundred millions of dollars for
three years, at seven and three-tenths per
cent annual interest, payable every" 'six
months. For this they offer Treasury Notes
—that is, in reality, notes drawn and endors-
ed by every man in the country. The loan
is wanted for a great national 'purpose, to
effect which every man unless he be a trai-
tor at heart if not in act.is solemnly pledged.
“The Appeal is addressed not merely to a
few great capitalists, but also to the many
whose aggregate means constitute the mass
of the wealth of the land. The notes upon
which this loan is asked are from $50 up-
ward. Every man who has fifty dollars can
take part in this loan. Apart from patriot-
ism and the duty which all owe their coun-
try, no investment is so desirable as this.
“It is secure. Every dollar of every man’s
property is pledged for the punctual pay-
ment Of the intenest, and of the debt when
due. The security is increasing in value.
For some yearsbeforc the war we were earn-
ing 1000 millions a yearmore than we spent.
During the three years of the war, owing to
the high prices and constantdemand for la—
bor, we have earned more than ever before.
No man who could or would work has been
idle; and, except for the war we have spent
less than before. The total valuation of the
property of the United States, according to
the census of 1860, was 16,159,000,000 of
which $10,957,488, 657 was in the Loyal
States. This valuation according to the usu-
al rule of assessme‘fit, was not more than
two-thirds of the actual cash value of the
property. The increase of property in the
Loyal States during the last ten years was
over 126 per cent., or an average of 12 6-10
per cent. per annum. In three years of the
war we of the United States have certainly
earned 3000 millions more than we have
spent apart from the war. The cost of the
war may be set down at 2000 millions. De-
ducting this from our net earnings, the Peo-
ple who are security for this loan are 1000
millions richer td-day than they were when
the war broke out.
No other investment can be so easily con-
vertible. The man who has a Treasury note
for $50, or $100 or $1000, can turn it into
money more readily, and upon better terms,
than if it were invested upon bond and
mortgage, or in railroad stock.
The interest offered is higher than can be
realized from any other safe and convertable
investment. It is, moreover, readily collect-
able when due. To each note are affixed
five “ coupons.” or interest tickets, due at the
expiration of each successive half-year. The
holder of a note has simply to cut off one of
these coupons, present it at the nearest bank
or Government Agency, and receive his in'
forest; the note itself need not be presented
at all. Ora coupon thus payeble will every-
where be equivalent, when due, to money.
Thus while this loan presents great advan-
tages to large capitalists, it offers special in-
ducements to those who wish to make a safe
and profitable investment of small saving.
It is in every way the best Saving’s Bank;
for every institution of this kind must some-
how invest its deposits profitably in order to
pay interest and expenses. They will invest
largely in this loan, as the best investment.
But from the gross interest which they re-
ceive they must deduct largely for the ex-
penses of the Bank. Their usual rate of
interest allowed to depositors is 5 per cent.
upon sums over $500. The person who in-
vests directly with Government will receive
almost 50 per cent. more. Thus the man
who deposits $1000 in a private Savings’
Bank receives 50 dollarsa your interest; if
he deposits the same sum in this National
Savings’ Bank he receives 73 dollars. For
those who wish to find a safe, convenient,
and profitable means of invcsfing the surplus
earnings which they have reserved for their
old age or for the benefit of their children,
there is nothing which presents so many
advantages as this National Loan.
It is conyertable into asix per cent. golds
bearing bond. At the expiration of three
years a holder of the notes of the 7:30 loan
has the option of accepting payment in full
or of funding his notes in a six per cent.
gold interest bond, the principal payable in
not less than five nor more than twenty
years from its date as the Government may
elect. For six months past, these bonds
have ranged at an average premium of about
eight per cent. in the New York market,
and have sold at 109 today (Aug. 12th), thus
making the real rate of interest over ten per
cent; and besides, to make the inducement
even greater, Congress by special not ex-
empts its Treasury notes from state and
municipal taxation. Could Shylock ask
more? Was patriotism ever so liberally re-
warded ?

To Major General Die:
The following official report of the sur-
render of Fort Gaines and the abandon-
ment of For: Powell, dated August 9th,
New Orleans, has just beenchcived from
Major General Canby.
Fort Gaines with fifty-six commissioned
officers and 818 enlisted men with its ar-
mament of twenty six guns intact and
provisions for twelve months, has surrc’n'
dercd unconditionaly,and was occupied by
our forces at eight o’clock yesterday
morning.
Fort Powell was abandoned, its gar-
rison escaping to Cedar Point ; its arma-
ment, eighteen guns, is in condition for
immediate service.
General Granger will immediately in.
vest Fort Morgan leaving garrisons in
Fort Gaines and Powell.
General Sheridan in a dispatch of the
lltli inst., reports that the stories of
‘pluuder from Maryland by the rebels are
all humbugs. They have very little, just
enough to subsist on and no more, most
of which has been taken from the Shenan-
doah valley.
In another dispatch, dated the 12
August, he says: Gen. Early’s train is
.a very small one, had to exceed 250 wag-
Ons, and the stories about accumulated
plunder from Maryland are untrue.

Wan DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—8:10 I. II. l
To Major General John A. Dix :—
The operations of Gen. Grant’s forces
are detailed in the following ofiicial dis—
patches, received by this department:
CITY POINT, 8 P. IL, Aug. l9.-—War—
ren moved with hislcorps this morning to
and across the Weldon Road. about one
mile south of the head works. To that
point he met nothing but the enemy’s
pickets. He advanced from there toward
Petersburg, meeting the enemy in his
advance. He had considerable fighting
during the day, suffering some loss, and
inflicting loss upon the enemy.
I have no report showing the extent
of our losses, but judge them to be light
from the dispatches.
Some of the enemy’s wounded fell into
our hands, and a few other prisoners.
CITY POINT, 7:30 P. M.-—Olll' troops
are firmly fixed across the Weldon Road.
There has been little or no fighting to-
day, either south of Petersburg or north
of the James.
Warren reports that the enemy’s dead
in considerable numbers were found in
his front unburied.
Gen. Birney telegraphs to Gen. Butler
as follows.
HEAD QUARTEns TENTH Conrs, Aug.
l9.—The enemy attacked my line in
heavy force last night, and were repulsed
with great loss.
In front of our colored regiment
eighty—two dead bodies of the enemy are
counted. .
The colored troops behaved handsome-
ly, and are in fine spirits.
The assault was in column, a division
strong, and would have carried the works
if they had not been so well defended.
The enemy’s loss was at least 1,000.
D. B. BIRNEY, Maj. General.
We have a great deal of rain about
Petersburg this week, and a very grate—
ful change in the temperature.
CITY POINT, 6 r. n, Aug l9.—The
enemy came out this evening to Warren’s
right, drawing in the'piekets connecting
between him and the left of our old line
on the Jerusalem plank road, and forcing
back the two right divisions of Warren’s
corps.
A heavy fight took place, resulting in
the re—establishing of on r lines and the
capture of a good many prisoners. The
prisoners were from Heth’s, Mahone’s
and Hoke’s divisiops. '
We lost considerably in prisoners.
The last foregoing dispatch was re—
ceived this afternoon, and is the latest
information received by the department.
It is estimated that the loss of the
enemy during this week, in killed, woun—
ded and captured, cannot fall much short
of four thousand, if it does not exceed
that number. _ .
The department has satisfactory intel~
ligenco from Gen. Sherman to half—past
eigh o’clock last evening.
Reports at 5 o’clock this evening,
from Gen. Sheridan’s front, represent all
quiet at that time, and that Gilmore,
with forty or fifty men, entered Martins-
burg last evening.
