Organize : Work!
. ' Let every friend of the Go'vernment under
,which we live now doff all prejudice, all
party fault finding and come up resolutely
:to the task of sycrthrowing every traitor , or
‘sympathizer w) traitors here upon our
northern soil as resolutely as our brave boys
are battling them in the field. But six
Weeks now remain before we reach our
jPresidential crisis. Weeks big with the
'fate and destinies of this nation. Sad as it
is, to contemplate, we have among us a
:thoroughly organized and determined party,
intent upon doing everything in their power
rto: aid their southern allies in the disruption
of this Government. The madness of parti-
fzan zeal or the blindness of political frenzy
'lead these on in a career which their own '
lconsciences and all coming posterity must
Icondemn and repudiate. Let every man put
.his shoulder to the wheel, and work, work,
Itill the day of election is past and ABRAHAM
:LINCOLN is again elected President of the
,people of this Union.

‘ Maine.
> “ As goes Maine, so goes the Union,” used
to be the saying of the democracy about
here, therefore we may confidently count
upon the certainty of the re-election of
. Abraham Lincoln for another term, for noble
1 old Maine,has spoken in thunder tones from
her home “way down east,” and in terms
not to be misunderstood, that she is strong
,in the cause of right, and that she will prove .
true to the glorious national union, spurning
all spurious peace propositions from _what-
ever quarter they may come.
It was expected that the last years major-
ity would be whittled down a little and the
.copperhead papers in this State even claim-
:ed that they wore going to carry the State.
but the union majority is much larger than
,last year, and now the aforesaid papers say
that they don’t expect anything in New
England, their strength 'is in the western
‘ and border states; verily, the gallcd jade
will wince.

3 Another Patriot gone!
_ Died Sept. 1st, of Congestion of the Brain,
at Vicksburg, Miss, Major JOSEPH CLARK,
son of Levi Clark of Norwalk, aged 26
Years. His remains will be brought to
. Norwalk for interment. ,
At the commencement of the Rebellion he
was living in Freeport, Ill; he enlisted in the
15th Ill. Regiment for three years, as a pri-
vate and served his Country faithfully
.through the whole term. He was in the
Battles of Pope and Fremont in Missouri-—
in the battles of Shiloh, Corinth, Seige of
1 Corinth, Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson,
Champion Hills, and Vicksburg.
After the surrender of Vicksburg he re-in-
listed for the war and in connection with
others of his company raised a Regiment of
' Colored Troops—the 4th Ill. Regt.-—N. D.—
of which he was appointed major, and which
rank he held up to the time of his death. He
had the reputation of being a good officer, a
' kind friend,and unshrinking devotionvto the
‘ cause he had espoused—the suppression of
this wicked Rebellion.

GAS—THE STAMFORD GAS LIGHT Co.
have advanced the price of gas to $4.50 per
thousand feet, from the 1st of September.
The‘price charged in Norwalk is $5.00 per
thousand feet, with some deductions. We
would suggest to our Gas Company,that they
rcduCe the price and furnish the old quality
of Gas’ The superior article now furnished
does not seem to give very good satisfaction,
perhaps because the people are not educated
up to that Standard. But seriously,we have
put up with this great nuisance long enough.
Will the Board of Directors abate it ‘2

PROMOTED.—Col. Joseph R. Hawley, of
the 7th, Conn. Regiment, has been commis.
sioned aBrigadier General, by the President.
' Gen. Hawley, we believe, was the first man
_ to enlist, when the war broke out. He was
made Captain, and served with the 1st Reg-
iment three months, and then went out as
Lt. Col. of the 7th, with which Regiment he
served three years, and now that the time of
his Regiment has expired, he is to continue
in the service as a General. Glad to hear if.
W‘Lt. J. T. Crosby, who lost an arm in
‘ one of the battles ncur' Spotssylvania, has
. been made Captain of Battery M, 6th N. Y.
Heavy Artillery. Good for “Tip."

"Carrying the Joke a leetle too
far.”
In a certain town in Ct. not more than a
thousand miles from Bridgeport, acorres-
poudent informs us that the copperhead por-
tion of a certain church, became so exercise
by the loyalty of the pulpit en'unciations,
that the doves of peace seceded, in imitation
of their southern brothers and set. up for
themselves an opposition church At length
a business meeting of the faithful ' was con-
vened to arrange for “stated preaching” and
other church ordinances. Among other
questions, arose that of the communion ser-
vice, whereupon an “old dealer” whom we
will designate the “Colonel” sprang to his
feet and put in his claim for furnishing the
wine. Before he'got seated up jumps anoth-
er brother in the .“same line” with an eye to
business who vehemently claimed this little
sop as due to him. He had done as much
or more towards getting the new church
than the “Colonel” and besides, the Colonel
had enjoyed a ruonopoly of this branch of
the business all the time they belonged to
St . ’s church, and it was no more than
fair, he should now have a chance. Tints
the discussion went on, till it was feared
that the principle of secession might keep
working and their new little church becoruc
in turn, the victim of a division, when a
wagish old “member,” who spells his name
with a “p” arose and with heavy pious grav-
ity interrogated, “ Well now boys you aren’t
going to have a communion are ye .9” Being
assured by both contestants that such
was the intention, the old fellow again broke
forth, “Well now, boys, wont that be carrying
the joke a leetle too far !” Our informant
thought it would be and left, fully impress-
ed that a new kind of timber was being in-
troduced as “rulers" of the modern church

tionery store.) The Black Hamburg grapes,
especially, are very delicious, and we only

shows the way thb gallant and noble boys
in our army feel about a disgraceful surrcw

We had a meetingthe other evening of the
Officers of this command for Sutlcr and took
an informal vote, and out of 26 officers pres-
ent 26 voted for Abraham, so you can just
bet on the Big 6th going in a body. I for
one say d-— the copperheads and all that
will go With them. No Chicago Platform
for us in the army, cannot see the point of
Peace-at-auy-price; we have lost about
960 men this summer, and we are bound to
see the thing out or burst in the attempt.
So you can bet on us every time and win.

MORRIS ISLAND, So. CA. 1
Sept. 3d, 1864. l
MESSRS EDITORS;—
How many spots insig-
nificant in themselves, and which would
have else remained unnoticed, now hear the
impress of martial events, and have thus
become historical. Morris Island is one of
these, for though consisting of sand and
marsh and barren of a single free, it has been
the scene of fierce conflict, and will be re-
membered by many a desolate heart as the
place where the one dearest on earth, gave
his life blood for his countries liberties,
The names of Wagner and Gregg have
given place to those of two illustrious com-
mander's who lost their lives during the
memorable assault last summer. The forts
are approached by a'uarrow strip of land
bounded by water on one side and by marsh
on the other Here may be seen the remains
of Gillmore’s parallels. In these ditches the
Northern boys toiled at the spade in the
face of a galling fire, until their digging
gained what the most gallant of assaults had
failed to accomplish.
In approaching fort Wagner as it was
called a clear view is obtained of Sullivan’s
Island to the right, with its numerous forti-
fications. New and then a puff of smoke is
seen, followed by a report then another
somewhere overhead, and here and there the
sand and water are dashed up by the falling
fragments. A little further on Fort. Sump-
ter opens upon the view, and as the setting
sun show up its crumbled walls, in dark
releif against the skies, one might fancy he
gazed upon the ruins of some huge baronial
castle in ' the east. While musing on the
scene, the ground is shaken by the report of
one of our immense guns close by, and a
ponderous cone of lron rs hurled against the
object of our interest, throwing up a red
cloud of brick. A little further progress
discloses a vicwof Charleston in the distance
partially bid from view by the extremity of
James Island. Her domes and spires show
plainly through the trees, and the mellow
rays of the setting sun here light up a scene
of peculiar beauty, but better that this proud
city of the South be laid in ashes than that
it remain as the stronghold of slavery and
rebellion. .
To day much interest was excited by
an event unusual here , a steamboat
deliberately steaming up the bay toward the
beleagurcd city but she approached their
strongholds unmolcstcd, for she bore on her
bow the white ensign of peaceful intentions,
held sacred among all nations, speculation
was rife as to the intent of the truce flag, but
it was generally concluded that arrange-
ments were being made for the exchange of
union prisoners now confined within range
of our guns, fora large number of captive
officers confined on board one of the vessels
in our fleet. Two of these prisoners made
their escape while lying in harbor at Hilton
Head, by dropping into the water at night,
they were recaptured after swimming for
six hours and reduced to extremity by fa-
tigue and hunger.
The enemy show that'they are not un-
mindful of our presence by occasionally
shelling the island either by day or night,
there is a peculiar interest in watching the
course of one of these fiery missives as it
approaches, which has no counterpart in the
contemplation of comet or ruetcor.
Notwithstanding the heavy fatigue and
guard duty to be performed here, the health
and spirits of'thc men are very good they
toil cheerfully and endure heroically, and
are willing to keep on toiling and enduring
till the good old flag shall be privi’cgcd, as
it should be to float from every spire and
minaret throughout our land.

PICKET-TRENCIIES before l’ctersburg, Va., 1
. Sept. 8th, 1864. l-
Mrr.EDrTorL—Do you know that :1 Con.
nccticut soldier is grieved when he finds
that his own townspeople are so little intcr- ,
cstgd in his regiment as to be wholly ignor- ,
ant of its whereabouts? You recently
referred to the 10th C. V., as losing heavily ,
in a battle in which it had no part, and in‘ a f
portion of country where it had never been. i
This disturbed and perhaps provoked the
brave boys of Co. G. who read your paper.
Yet you are quite as accurate as other
Connecticut editors generally. Other pa~
l
to our regiment in its last fight, disturbing
and provoking the brave boys of other
companies from other localities, and thus it
is quite often. .
Now we feel that this is not right. We
are away from home in your behalf. We
are perilling our lives in your defence. We
stand between you and death. You could
neither walk by day nor sleeep at night in
safety except for our exertions and enduran-
ccs. You surely ought to have sufficient
interest in our movements to know where
we are and how we do your work. If you
realized the truth, you would Watch us with
intensest solicitude. You would report us
fully and frequently. To do this would
require no special correspondents with the
army, would impose no arduous task on any
office editor. The heart not the head is at
fault with those at home. If your sympathy
with us was vital, you would track us with
more than maternal anxiety for our well
being, and would not fail to remember al-
ways whcre we had last been heard from.
The whole number of regiments from Con-
necticut is not as large as the voters of any
school district in that state. The committee'
luau of his party who is fit for his business
can keep posted as to his charge without
losing any of his meals or sitting up nights
to study over the list. Moreover the officers
and men of every regiment in the field know
just where are all the other regiments of
their state, and what battles they have had
a part. Yet they have no special correspond-
ents in these regiments. Their sympathy
with those who are their comrades at the
front leads them to find out their location
and to have an eye on their movements, even
though information must be culled from
sources open toall you editors. When you
believe that we are your protectors—not
substitutes—in a life and death struggle, you
will know where we are, and will give as
credit for all we do.
For the benefit of those of your readers
who have friends in the 10th C. V. let me
remind you of its record, which oughtto be
familiar to every son of Connecticut. Going
out to North Carolina with the Burnside
Expedition in the winter of 1861-2, it had a
prominent, an honorable, and a bloody part
in the battles of Raanokc and Newborn-
Besides participating in miner skirmishes, it
had gained new distinction, at tearful cost
of life and limb, in the battles of Kinston,
Whitehall and Goldsboro, in the winter of
1862-3. Going from North to South Caroli-
na, it was in the advance movement against
Charleston in 1863, seizing and holding
Seabrook Island for the protection of North
Edisto Inlet as the rendezvous of' the iron
clads. In July of the same year, it was in
the second battle of James Island and in the
second attack on Ft. Wagner. There it had
a share in the exhausting siege work on
Morris Island and the reduction of' Fort
Sumptcr. When worn down and reduced,
it was sent for a season to do garrison duty
at St. Augustine, Fla. Thence it came to
Virginia in April of the present year. Form-
ing a part of Gen. Butler’s cxpidition up the
James, it landed at Bermuda Hundred early
in May. It had a share in the first cutting
of‘thc Petersburg and Richmond railroad,
and in, the night attack on Beauregard’s
wagon train on the turnpike between the
same cities. It was actively engaged in the,
move to Drury’s Bluff, suffering severely
It aided in resisting attack after attack upon
the pickctlinc at Bermuda Hundred. It
was alone in the capture of the famous
Howlett rcdoubt on the bank of the
James. It was the first to cross the James
to the North bank, on Gen. Foster’s move
thither. It fought at that new position and
a number of weeks aided to hold it.
It was in the fight at Strawberry Plains in
July, for which the Second corps had all the
credit, assisting in the capture the battery of
four Parrot guns. It was in the extreme
advance of Gen. Grant’s last strategy move
on Richmond, fighting hard and losing
heavily at Deep Bottom, Aug. 14th; at
White’s Tavern, Aug. 16th; and at the New
Market road, Aug. 18th. From Deep Bot-
tom, it came on the 26th ult. to the Peters-
burgline where it is now doing duty on
picket and in the trenches. Its loss in killed
and wounded since coming to Virginia is
about 150. Others have fallen away from
disease. Its number is now but small, yet
the regiment stands as always second to
none in spirit and efficiency.
During the three years of its service, the
10th C. V. has participated in more than
forty battles and skirmishes, losing from all
causes some forty or fifty officers and seven
hundred men and taking nearly one thou-
sand prisoners,th never being defeated or
retreating under fire. We give God thanks
for all our success, and we believe that those
who love the cause for which we stand
should rejoice that there is such a regiment
in the field. H. C. T.

TIIE PEACE DEMOCRACY.—-A meeting of
about filly peace democrats was held on Sat-

his pledges to the democratic party, thereby
compromising its success to this ensuing elec-
tion. It was proposed to issue a call for a

Democratic Mass Meeting.
In accordance with the suggestion of their
late convention, the democracy of this part
of the County have been busily at work for
sometime past in rushing arrangements for
a Monster Mass Meeting, to be held in this
town. The meeting was held on Saturday
last,during the day and cvcn’g.The afternoon
was devoted to hanging a well painted bau-
ner across the street at the foot of Mill Ilill,
and to a “Pole Raising” and speaking.
About one o‘clock the pole was drawn into
the Post Office Square, by twenty-seven
pairs of oxen, escorted by a German Band
from New York. The pole was Speedi-
ly raised, and without accident. Flags were
then hoisted upon it, amid cheers from the
crowd, and a salute was fired from Mill Hil',
the gun speaking well. Three cheers were
given for McClellan and three for Pendlcton.
At 3 o’clock the delegations from Westport,
Saugatuck, Soutbport, &e., drove in, headed
by the Winslow Band. The meeting was
called to order by Levi Warner, Esq., who
made a characteristic speech. The distin-
gushed orators from abroad, who were ex-
pectcd to be present, unaccountably failed to
connect, and the managers were obliged to
fall back .upon local talent.
At 6 o’clock, a delegation came in from
New Canaan. The evening meeting was
held at Norwalk Hall, which was well filled
and Luke Lockwood, Esq., of Greenwich,
and Moses W. Wilson, Esq., of Westport,
were the distinguished speakers.
Considering the efforts made, the money
spent, the Music and attractions offered, we
consider the affair a most decided failure .

A Disgraceful Exposure.
READ AND REELECT.
The Washington Republican makes t.ris
startling statement : _
“ We have it from a reliable source that
arrangements have already been made be-
tween Belmont, on the part of McClellan,
the ‘young Napoleon,’ and the Rothschilds,
on the part of Napoleon III, of France, that
in the event of the election of McClellan a
‘cessation of hostilities‘ will take place, and
France will recognize the Confederacy, the
argument being that the defeat of Mr. Lin-
coanould be a defeat of the war party of
the country, and a declaration to the world
that the South should be an independent na-
tion. To this end the understanding is that
Napoleon 111, through the Rothscilds, wrll
furnish the means to carry on the McClellan
campaign.”
Can it be possible that a party whose man-
agers are detected in thus coolly bartering
away the integrity of the Union to a Euro-
pean despot, can go before the Anrerican
people and demand possession of their gov-
ernment with any prospect of success ?

REMEMBER—Before the rebellion broke out
Senator Douglas, referring to the Southern
States s‘aid:
“ If they remain in the Union, I will go as
far is the Constitution will warrant Inc in
securing their rights; but if they secede, I
am in favorof allowing them just as many
slaves (uuljust as much slave territory as they
can hold at the point of.the bayonet.

Wnr HE TURNED DEMOCRAT.-—-A corres-
pondent of the Evening Post tells the follow-
ing of A. Oaklcy Hall, who said at the M c-
Clellan ratification ruccting in New York
“ the nominations at Chicago would be hailed
with universal acclamationf throughout the
South.”
“In conversation with a Union lawyer on
the steps of the Court House, in Chambers
street to-day, Mr. Hall remarked, apropos of
his summersault from Republicanism to
Copperheadism, that when Mr. Lincoln
went over to the abolitionists he could not
support him any longer. ‘ Why ?’ He rc-
plied : 'When Gen. Butler was in New
Orleans he took a negro that belonged to
my mother and made a soldier of him !,
‘Ah,’ said the other, ‘Isee it. You lost
by that little operation the possible reversion
of an undivided interest in the contingent
remainder of one nigger, subject to the dow-
er right of your mother! I understand it
all now.” . .
The historian has failed to preserve Mr.
Hall’s reply.”

he said “Our hopes for an early peace
were dependent entirely on the success of
the Democratic party at the North in the
approaching presidential election.” He
enlarged upon the importance of Atlanta
to the rebels, and said that ”though he
did not desire to excite any undue expec.
tations or nlarm,tlrat every thing dcpcud~
cd upon Sherman being routed from A t-

the most vociferous cheering along the
lines. All the desertcrs who come in
agree in stating that this loud cheering,
which was heard distinctly in our camps,
was on account of the nomination of Me-

New York Herold thus talk of the peace
party find their Chicago platform :
In all our political history there never
was a party started on less intellectual
capital and with a smaller amount of
brains than this peace party of Vallan—
digham and Wood. One battle has ta—
ken from them the very ground that they
stood upon. Before the period arrives
at which they can go before the pe0ple
the question that they propose to submit
to the people will have been decided per—
adveuture by our armies. There will
be peace before they can ask the people
to vote for peace—and their ascendancy.
Their platform contained one idea—ces—
sation of hostilities. It said clearly as
a platform could ‘don’t hit the South any
more; she can’t stand it.’ But this re—
quest would sound oddly when, before it
can be acted upon, the South has been
knocked out of time. Our success at
Atlanta has thus changed the whole po—
litical aspect, and must uccessarially un—
settle the Shape that parties have at.
present taken.

where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required.
They purify, strengthen and invigorate.

They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours
They strengthen the system and cnllven the mind.
They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers.
They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach.
Tlrcy cure Dyspepsia and Constipation.

They make the weak strong, the languid brilliant,

and testimonials around each bottle.
Beware of impostcrs. Examine every bottle.
See that it has our private U. S. Stamp nnmutilnted

nature on a fine steel plate side label. See that our
bottle is not refilled with Spurious and deleterous
stuff. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bit-

person imitating this bottle, or selling any other

The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from la-
