Most of the living sons of Connecticut who sprang to arms in defence of our assailed Nationality, have ceased to be soldiers, have dotted the Federal uniform and again as private citizens they have returned to their homes and now throng our streets. While they upheld the standard of the Republic in face of the rebel foe, no state was more ten- der in its care of her soldier sons than was Connecticut. and no town in it more deeply solicitous of their comfort and welfare than Norwalk. The money freely voted and giv- en, the ever patient and assiduous fingers of our patriotic women who in season and out of season plied their busy needles in prepar- ing garments for the absent hero—all attest to a pure, loyal and unselfish gratitude and devotion, which we personally know glad- dened many a distant camp and made less re- luctant the march to, battle. But now peace, angebwinged peace, smiles upon the nation again and “the boys come marching home.” What new duties and obligations do these happily changed conditions impose, or are our further care and duty at an, end? Here in Norwalk we have given .our re- turned heroes a public: welcome, while yet the battle bronze rests fresh on each patriot brow-a welcome which did honor to the big-hearted loyalty of the great mass of our community, but pleasant and fitting as was this—all we who have remained at home, have yet other and more potential duties to perform in behalf of these men, worthy our most grave and immediate attention. First of all,the soldier needs wonxl Remunera- the employment he left when the war-cry of an assailed Union rallied him to arms in its defence—and remunerative employment hemust now have. His family needs it. Hls own aspirations of self-respect and good citizenship demand it. As a child of the Republic, a grateful, generous government clothed and fed him,and local, municipal and individual ben eficence did much to succor the family perchance left behind. All this is now at an end, yet the wife and children require food and raiment and- such they must have—and to obtain it, our soldier citizen must be supplied with WORK. Who first of our public-spirited citizens will move for some systematic organization which shall aid the war-worn hero in the exchange of his muscle now for bread. Such a society should be organized to-day in Norwalk and in every town In Connecticut, and over and above every individual should show his or her gratitude to the soldier in personal effort to secure employment for the returned veter- an. So much for the soldiers, physical needs and our obligations to meet them. Another matter, most seriously afi'ecting his moral relation to himself, his family and the State, we would gladly omit all mention of were not our eyes and hearts almost hourly pain- ed by public exhibitions of the rumseller’s cupidity and the lamentable fact that a brave fellow who has had the hardihood to march unfalteringly up to a rebel battery, yet lacks tire moral courage to resist the camp-formed appetite for alcoholic drinks. And here lies a duty which every patriot, every lover of a peaceful home, of law and order, of good citizenship and the general prosperity of our community—cannot, must not shirk. NO amount of sentimentalism or rhapsodical disquisition will do this work or save from dishonored lives and disgraceful death, the noble and brave boys who have earned the gratitude of the world. It has been our fortune during the prog- ress of the war, to have spent many days and weeks with our armies in the camp, on the march and battle-fields, and we know how insidiously, how seductively, at times seem- ingly almost necessarily has the soldier been induced to drink when his appetite and moral convictions were all averse to its use. The ennui Of‘ the camp,the fatigue of the march, the exhaustion of the trenching, the wet and cold on the lone picket posts, all have given sanction to the indulgence until indulgence has become a seated appetite, which we see developing‘itself, more freely now perhaps, in the fresh flush of greetings from long- separated friends and the natural conviviali- ties of social re-unions—yet to the painful aprehensions of wives and mothers and the sorrow of every true friend. We speak thus plainly,because we know whereof we write, and the public sentlment requires awaken- ing ere it becomes blunted and indifferent" by familiarity. God only knows the battles We have lost, the heroes slain, the wives widowed and homes made desolate by the rash action of drunken army officers. It is indeed sad to contemplate the fact, well- known to every one at all familiar with our armies, that nearly all of our great chief- tains, and as it would seem especially those most accomplished in the art of war, have set an example to the rank and file of dis- graceful inebriety. There isn’t a soldier who has donned his fatigue cap and walking the streets of Norwalk, but knows that had he drank half the maddening “commissary” swallowed daily by some one of his immedi- ate commanders, that he would have been a permanent occupant of the guard-house.— Of such we have no hope, but the private soldier, the rank and file of noble, virtuous men who went out from these Northern homes sober and good citizens, we say such can and must be saved from the saddest of all sad fates which can befall our humanity, a life of inebriety. As we have said we speak plainly on this subject. We raise no questions of Prohibi- tory or License LaWs. We most earnestly and hopefully appeal to every good citizen whatever his creeds to use all his powers of kindness and persuasion to stay the alarming tide of' intemperance sweeping the ranks of our returned volunteers. We appeal also to the soldiers themselves, in behalf Of their families,—-in behalf of their nobler manhood, to asserta determined and absolute resist~ ance to all and every inducement to dishonor themselves and the cause they have so nobly served by putting that in their months which shall steal away their brains. We witnessed their disastrous conflict at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville andsaw the gory heaps of severed limbs, and we traversed the heights of Antietam, we saw all their sub- lime trial and God-like fortitude at terrifilc Gettysburg—at Rappahannock Station, Mine Run, the Wilderness, Tod’s Tavern, Spot- sylvania, North and South Anna, Bowling Green, Cold Harbor, before Petersburg and Richmond, Fisher and Wilmington,and nev- er did We hear it breathed that a single Con- ' necticut Regiment dishonored itself or failed todo its whole duty. The record made by them in this war is one of which they and the State may feel justly proud,—and now boys, by all “the sufferings you have pass- 6.5," by all the battle fields you have render- ed’illustrious, by all the blessings of Liberty you have secured to mankind, bv the grand and glorious achievements you have caused to gild the pages of American History for all coming time, we adjure you to touch not and taste not the abominable thing sold to rob you of your money, your brains and your so dearly won reputation. . ,._...;_l-..

One of these events that give a zest to our village life was the Volunteer Concert and Organ exercises at Lockwood’s Hall on Fri- day night last, and must have netted a very handsome sum towards paying for the in- strument for the 2d. M. E. Church. Where all did so well, it is, perhaps, invid- ions and unjust to-single out individuals, bat to Mr. Hessian, very much is due. Prof. Merriam did well as he always does. Mr. Disbrow and Mr. Ruick gave fine Piano sol los,.while the Misses Byxbee charmed all with their sweet and modest singing. Mr. Nash of Westport, Smith of Stamford, laid our townspeople under especial obligation for their partlof the general gratification. The German Club, with their peculiar Teu- tonic chords and songs added a novel charm and variety to the Concert, while Miss Em- ily Slocum exhibited a taste and dexterity of touch on the Piano, we have , scarcely ever seen equaled by performers of far greater ce- lebrity and pretentious. The audience was one of. Norwalk’s best. and of itself worth fifty cents, to behold.— There was of course, the usual complement of talking “ boys” and silly titlcring “ girls,” who had to discuss the rechcrehf “ Water- falls,” sandwiched with a. twitch and a jerk, —-to the annoyance of everyone in their vi- cinity—but then here in Norwalk that is the “ style” of its codfish aristocracy and it wouldn’t be noticed:- perhaps, without this a most gratifying success. «0» mm Committee of Arrangements for' the Soldie Reception are invited to meet at the Store 0 m.

On Saturday they were visited by a gang ofroughs, who stoned the house, used insolent language, and threatened violence. They were warned away, but did not heed. Davenport’s moth- er, an Old. woman, fired ashot from an old musket, which killed a man named Ludlow Chard. The coroner’s jury returned a ver- dict of justifiable homicide.

WThe following letter written by a lady in the South to her friends in this town, gives some idea of the effect which the war has had upon the prosperity of the Southern people, and the benefits derived from the practice of their pet theory of secession :' . AIKEN, S. C., July 11th, 1865. MY DEAR FATHER: . Your letter came to me yesterday like a voice from the dead. The last time I had heard from you was through some one in Savannah. You were then very ill and not expected to recover. Imagine my delight, dear father, to hear again from you. You say we must come North. I want to do so above all things in the world, but I will tell you how we 'are situated. For the last four years my husband has been in the army, con- sequently earning nothing, for our Confeder- ate money is not worth waste paper. Before the war my husband’s Grandfather owned 400 negroes, and my husband a goodly num- ber. We could have sold Taffy alone,:who was bringing us $40.00 per month, for $6,000. And now from being worth $20,000, we are reduced to $20.00 a month. The freeing of Our slaves is like taking so much money out of our pockets. My husband (although his father and family are one of the first and most aristocratic in this state) learned the trade of machinist, so that he might manage his plantation more successfully; and since the war ended, he has earned what he can; but the Yankees have come and monopoliz- ed most of the work. I have written you all every opportunity I have had. Where are my brother and sisters ? If they have no feeling of bitterness toward 'me why do they not write. My dear fathethave been in the midst of so much turmoil, strife and con- fusion, I am almost bewildered. Last April we paid $60.00 for a bushel of corn, $5.00 for a lb. of meat, $150.00 for a pair of shoes and $800.00 for a calico dress. What do you think of that? And now with nothing left but confederate money, how am I to come to N. York, for the passage will cost $110.00? How I should love to see all the dear ones, and be at home again! My husband would come with me in a minute if he could find business there. He could bring the best of recommendations from CharlestOu. Do‘write me what I had better do, and now may God bless you, and keep you ever,-my dear father, and permit us to meet again, in this world, ' isthe prayer of your afi‘ectionate daughter. 1 t ' home on Thursday afternoon last, having __-—v- n ........a-~w.~u ..._. In Memoriam. ALBERT H. WILCOXSON. No single member of the 17th Connecti- ‘ cut, who has given his life to his country, i will be more sensibly missed in this com- munity, than he whose name heads this brim" _ mention of his worth. Lieut.-Col. Albert H. ; Wilcoxson was born in New Haven County, ‘ January 29th, 1834. In 1850 he came to ‘ Norwalk and was a clerk for Wm. C. Strcct, Esq., with a brief absence at Bridgeport with Holcomb «S: Lyon, until 1859, when he enter- __ ed into partnership with Mr. Street, and con- tinued hisbusiness connection until he enter- ed the 17th Regiment in July of 1862. His business .aptitude and varied capacities at once designated him for aposition of trust and responsibility and he was made Adjutant of the ' Regiment, was then advanced to the Captaincy of Co. I, in the winter of ’62, and promoted to the Lieut.-Colonelcy, Aug. lst, 1863. He was an active participant in the battles of Chancellorville and Gettysburg. We saw him amidst the fiercest rain of shot and shell and the more deadly leaden volleys Of the foe, at Gettysburg, dashing from flank to flank as a stall officer bearing important messages to the _ Commaeder-in~Chief, 'as cooly as if it were a dress parade. . It was he who bore from‘ us the welcome'tidings to Gen. Meade that that blood-soaked field was within both telegraphic and railroad com- munication with Baltimore and thus with Washington, a fact of which the entire army was ignorant up to a late hour Friday, pm, of the 3d othily. . , . Very soon after the arrival of the Regi- ment at St. Augustine, Fla, Col, Wilcoxson was entrusted with the command of that en_ tire Military Post, which position be filled up to the time of his capture. . 0n the first day of Feb. 1865, he started in obedience of orders from: the Commanding Gen. of the Department, on}; raid 70’ miles into the interior with. some 40 men—and when on their return on the evening of the 5th, some 60 miles from St. Augustine, they were surrounded by a large force of rebels and while he and Adjutantphatfield were endeavoring to cut their way through in a brave and heroic manner, he was wounded by a shot through the shoulder, from the ef- fects of which it has (been supposed he died in the Rebel Hospital at Tallehasse, Fla, on the 6th of March, and was buried on the 7th in the cemetery of the Episcopal Church at that place. ' While in the Hospital at Tallehasse he was visited daily by the Rev. Mr. “Ellis, of the Episcopal Church (of which Church he was for several years an active and worthy mem- ber). He also received kind attentions from Co]. Gamble of the Rebel army and his lady, and from many of the residents of the place. His remains cannot be brought north until cold weather, when we believe it is the inten- tion of his friends to remove them hither.- In every relation of life as citizen, soldier and ofiicer, he ever evinced all the traits of a true manhood, 'and his young life nobly spent has been sublimely given to that cause which God has so signally blessed and cans- ed to be victorious. ' JOSEPH F. AIKEN. Among all the thousands of this war’s martyrs, none went out in defence of an as sailed government, with purer motives or a nobler patriotism than Jescph F. Aiken, of Co. A. 17th Conn, who died aged 24 years, on board the Arago,whichhad already borne him and his returning regiment into the har- bor of New York on the 24th ultimo. - At the call of the President for 75,000 men the deceased enlisted in the 3d Conn. Regt. under Capt. Fowler,and was in the first Bull Run Battle, returned home with the. Regi- ment, and enlisted again under Capt. Fowler July 25th, 1862 ; was with the Regiment in all the battles in which it was engaged, and came out without a scratch, and had never passed a day in the Hospital. He had a sun-stroke, while on the dock, the day they left Hilton Head, and died, when on thresh- hold of home, with Congestion of the Brain.- Thus he gave his life for his Country, and his memory is her rich legacy. ; «‘0» Whig-Gen.

The Hartford Press thus de- scribes the uniform: . .- .“The coat adopted is the chasseuer- jack;- et, of dark blue, trimed with light‘bue cloth. and cord. There will be nine buttons in. front, four on the skirts, six on the sleeves", two on the collar, tWo on the shoulders, 'an 3 two on sides. Over the hips are waist-belt; straps and on the shoulders are. shoulder-belt straps of cloth fastened at oneend and but- toned at‘the other, and trimmed with light blue cOrd . 0n the collar, sleeves, and the' short skirts, the light blue cloth trimming. add much to the dressy appearance of the coat...‘ i The ununiformed companies will proba: bly be the first uniformed, and it is doubtful. whether more than this can be accomplished; before the fall encampments.

L A Cruise of~ the Grampus Club. AT SEA, OFF GAY HEAD LIGHT, E Tuesday, Aug. lst, 1865. DEAR GAZETTE :——Following the usual ' leaves a wider circle of devoted friends or Q custom I propose to give you, for the benefit of those members of the old Grampus Club who could not go on the excursion this year, as also for the information of the friends of those who were out, a brief outline of our cruise. The list of members for this trip you have already published. On Monday morning last, after the usual farewells had been spo- ken and the final partings with near and dear ones made, and with cheers to those left behind mingling with music from our martial band, the lines were cast off and the schooner erzIE A. TOLLEs, with the Gram- pus boys of 1865, glided out into the stream. Not having the sails up when we shoved ofi‘ from the wharf, the tide, which was running out strong, caught the stern of the schooner, and carried it around so that we headed for" Norwalk Bridge instead of out to sea, and, made considerable headway north while the men were hoisting their sails, we began to think the Captain was intending to give usa chance to salute the upper village with our big gun; but soon the sails were set and with cheers from those assembled on the dock, we went about and stood down out of the harbor, but before getting out were boarded and an inspection gone through with by Dr. Pritchard, One of the last sea- son’s members. Once outside we encountered strong head- winds and had to stand across the sound first to the Long Island shore and then back to the Connecticut side, this of course made our progress towards the east very slow. The first casuality happened to the Com- modore, who, coming upon the Purser, asleep upon the cabin hatch, he proceeded to tie him up with a rope, but the Purser awakening clenched with him and in the scufile away went the Commodore’s Hat,— lost upon the briny deep. , In the afternoon Assistant Commissary Lester, feeling somewhat uneasy 'in mind and body, took the lead in paying tribute to old father Neptune; his troubled mind hav- ing been made more tranquil by the opera- tion, his example was speedily followed by a half-score or more of sympathizing friends. Paine endeavored to ease himself of a gnaw- ing pain and apparently succeeded to his satisfaction in a very brief space of time, while poor Boylston,—the man not made like’ other men, but who was only roughly thrown together,—was sorely troubled all through the day. The Judge Advocate and several others also were obliged several times to cast up account over the rail. Holly, ‘the poick,’ tO-day had the honor of catching the first fish, “Sure as you are alive,” but which on being landed on deck, proved to be a wooden sham, fastened on hisline, in a moment of unwatchfulness, by one of the wags of the party. He pulled in strong and well, but was not hurt by the exercise, and, handsomely owning up sold, begged 06‘. Last evening having a good breeze we vo- ted down the proposition of running into New London to stop over night, and deci- ded to keep on for Nantucket,——but alas for human hopes and expectations—when we retired at 11 O’clock, we were Off Plum Gut and fondly expected to be in Nantucket bright and early in the morning, but when morning came and we went above on deck, lo, there was Plum Gut still! The wind had died out, or I might say, had retired when we did the night before, and the vessel had hardly held its own against the tide. We drifted all the morning in the neigh- borhood of Montauk Point, occasionly an- choring to try the Fish, but meeting with poor success, catching nothing but a few Flounders and Sea Robins. During the day Harry G. “ broke out” and soon became irrepressible, with his cordial and genial invitations to “ go and buy some- thing.” He was finally arrested and brought up beforéthe Judge Advocate for some al- leged misdemeanor, tried, convicted and sen- tenced to some penal servitude. He howev- er soon recovered, organized a full band of “ Block Island Warblers,” and went it strong- er than ever, with his“Wont you go and buy something." ' Not finding good fishing at Montairk Point, and a light breeze arising we bore away for Block Island, on nearing which signs of Blue Fish being apparent, lines were thrown over. and’soon Minor and then Camp each landed a fine fish. Treadwell had one on but lost him. “Blue Fish for Breakfast.” Having a good breeze now, we again laid our course for Nantucket, when. just after dinner, (5 o’clock) we noticed a large schoon- er astern apparently in chase of us, and which some of us thought from appearances had a party aboard. We however paid no attention to her until] just at sundown we found her near by and rapidly closing with us, on hailing her we found it to be the C. I. Ericsson with a party from New Haven and bound to Nantucket. We saluted them with our Music, ex- changed salutations and cheers, found out all we could of each other, then she slowly passed on ahead, promising to report us as on the way on her arrival in Nantucket. Our Captain immediately called upon us to all come aft and trim the ship and he would promise to overhaul and beat her. This promise made us all feel prettygood natured, éand the irrepressible Harry -vo..wed if the Captain would make his word good and. beat lthc‘Ericsson, he" Would take him down in the morning and .‘ibuy something.” In a few minutes we had gained so much, that the Erlcsson, apparently a little fright- ened hauled up on herucoursc'and stood off to windward, but it was of no use for in less than twenty minutes we came up with and ‘passed her. Guess We felt good about- then ! As Boylston would say “rather think we did.” Just as we were forging ahead of her she luffed up and for a few minutes our hearts were in our months for fear of a col- lision, and indeed there was great danger, but luckily, the two captains by the skill- fulhandling of their tillers kept us clear, al- though our main boom brushed heavily against their main shrouds as we glided by. For an hour or so, now the scene was quite animating, they trying to catch up and again pass us and we trying to avoid them. They spreading more sail were enabled to work to windward of us, and at times seemed about shooting on ahead, but we continually shook them off; the wind drawing well astern, un- til now as we are about retiring she is some two miles or more behind us and we confi- dently hope to reach Nantucket ahead of her. ' - ' Our parties have been made up to-night for a days sport .at fishing tomorrow in Nantucket bay. They divide up into sets of four to six and engage small smacks with experienced fishermen to take them out.— They all expect rare sport and calculate to make enormous hauls of fish. More anon.
