' ‘ Children’s Entertainment—Literary, Historical and Musical Enter- tainment—To-lehttho _ Coioniai‘Baii. The exercises for the celebration of the 244th anniversary of the founding of Norwalk opened on Tuesday. In the morning the day was celebrated at the different schools in town with ap- propriate programmes. ' , In the afternoon the scholars assem- bled at. the several schools, those from this section of the town headed by Dwyer’s Citsy of Norwalk band and those from outh Norwalk headed by Heine’s band, and marched to the Ar-' mory, with banners flying. . The exercises- openedw1th a prayer by Rev. B. O. Sherwood, followed with singing by the vast assemblage. Rev. S. H. Watkins was the first speaker and he presented his subject, “Early School Days” in an interesting and happy manner, and it was greatly » enjoyed by all present. - * _ ' . “Hail Columbia” was .then sung by the children with a force that made the walls echo and filled the hearts of all ._prescnt with enthusiasm. . . ' _ Rev. T; M. O’Brien then made a tell- ing speech which he concluded as fol- lows: “Norwalk’s past may not to a very great extent belong to you, but to the making of her record in the fut- ure, many of you, no doubt, most of; you,_I trust, will contribute, and as a final word let me say to you all that you Will have _caught the inspiration _of this occasion if you do not here and now ‘ solemnly resolve that that record shall not be the less worthy because you shall have helped to make it.” The “Old Flag”was then saluted fol- lowed by the singing of “Columbia the Gem of the Ocean.” . Rev. A. S. Kavanagh spoke ion the subject “Armories—Old and New.” He remarked that they did not have such armories‘in Colonial days as the one in which they were assembled, and be likened the public schools to armo- ries and spoke of the :recruits as a splendid set of boys and girls and a magnificent drill as going on. These boys and‘girls being trained to be worthy successors of the great men who have lived and died in these parts, and in conclusion said, “Boys and girls, you are in these armories around here; stay in until ,you go through the common school, highschoel and all. The longer you stay in the better you Will be prepared to be worthy succes- sors of the great men and women of the past. The times demand more of you than it did of them. Therefore you need the best possible preparation, .The exercises were closed by the singing of “America” 'by 3,000 voices and the pronouncing of the benedic- tion by Rev. T. K. Noble. General D. N. Couch opened the evening's exercises by stating that a few days ago he was notified that he was to preside on this auspicious occa- siont and later notified that he was to appear in uniform. He said that the donning of his old uniform carried him back thirty years to the battle fields of the war. He thanked thecommittee for the. honor conferred upon. him and pathetically referred to his declining years saying that he might not again have an opportunity toIpreside over a meeting of his fellow citizens. .The General had no set speech but ‘ his words of introduction of the speak- ers during the evening Were in his hap- piest vein. General Couch’s remarks were fol- lowed by “The Heavens are Telling,” by the choir of St. Paul’s church, Pro- lessor John Whittaker, director. Af~ ter the singing Rev Dr. T, K. Noble pronounced the invocation after which a quartette from the choirs of the N or- walk Congregational, Norwalk Metho- dist, South orWalk Congregational and South Norwalk Baptist churches rendered “Columbia.” Miss Jennie K. Nash presiding at the piano :and Miss Sally Betts at the-organ. ' ‘ REV. c. it. SELLECK. General Couch then in a few well chosen words introduced the Rev. C. M. Selleck, who .read a most valuable and interesting paper on “Norwalk in Colonial and Revolutionary Times.” Mr. Selleck’s remarks were attentively listened, to. and were frequently inter- rupted by applause, and his, valuable contribution tome-history of Norwalk will be published in full in the GAZETTE at a future date. After Mr. Selleck’s interesting ad- dress St._Paul’s choir sang “The Bridal Chorus," whichwas followed by an ad- dress ,on “Norwalk in the Civil War,” by Mr. A. H. Byington, editor ,of; the Guerra. ‘ - _ . MR. BriNGTON’s ADDRESS. Mn. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS or ran ANNIVERSARY COMMITTEE, LADIES AND GENTLBHEN': . * . Kindly permitthe preface of an ex- pressionptmyideep. and grateful appre- ciation of the spirit and-purposes which inspired and haveso suspiciously con- ,_ snmated, this interesting and notable anniversary celebration. Surely . it must be the earnest wish of_a11p_reaent, , that the spirit of historical inquiry now awakened, may lead to more extensive and thorough efforts"to rescue from- oblivion, the rich and priceless histori-l cal treasures of :NorWalk’s-.~great and glorious past. . ‘ State Librarian Headlev has many times urged upon me the‘duty and im- portance of our people securing :for posterity, before it be too late, this town’s histories :of the sacrifices,= suffer- ings and valiant deedspto: r ancestors in those early an ‘s,’ whiehkplnever'be- fore, “tried men s souls.” r. Charles H. Pond, of Milford, a brother “Son 'wild with fright, tumbled into_ ‘ ~ Connecticut antiquarian research, hav- ing had occasion to examine our old Colonial records, in the Town Clerk’s vaults, said “it was a crime against his- tory and the coming generations, to permit these invaluable papers to re- main disarranged as now, and to perish by decay.” _ . Asking pardon for this digression from the subject assigned, let ine crave your indulgence to relate just one more cognate fact :—At a party given in Washin ton, by our late ex-Governor, Marshal Jewell, while he was Post- master Genera‘l, he with his accustomed pleasant efi‘usiveness, introduced your speaker to George Bancroft, as “a Yankee from N orwalk.” “What, Nor- walk, Connecticut? ” instantly ques- tioned the venerable historian, with earnest enthusiasm. Assured that the town of my nativity was none other, he continued—“Well, do you know that little N orwiilk in Connecticut, furnished more men and means for the war of the Revolution than any other town of equal population, in all the country ? " Replying that some such story had been heard, but the loose statement never responsibly verified as a histori- cal fact, he quickly added with dog~ matic emphasis, “but it is a fact, never- theless, and a fact beyond dispute. And more than that,” he further as- serted, “I had become so much inter- ested in the patriotic record of N orwalk ’in the Revolution, that I watched very closely her action during our Civil War, and I find that when bounties ranging from $500 to, in some cases, $2,500 ‘per man, were being paid for army recruits. by towns and cities whose war quotas= were unfilled, your town sent to the front, a large number of soldiers in ex- cess of .its quota.” Such facts from such an authority as Bancroft, should not only forever remain in our memor- ies, but are worthy of enduring perpet- uation upon the bronze tablets 0f _Nor- walk’s coming “Soldiers’ Monument.” May we all live to see engraved on such enduring tablets, the name of every soldier and sailor son of Norwalk, who gave his service and his life to his country, from the morning of April 19, 1775, when commenced the war for In- dependence, down to the end of our sanguinary Civil War, at Appomattox. "‘NORWALK IN THE CIVIL WAR” is a theme so prolific, that it becomes be- wildering as to where to begin and where to end; what to give and what to omit, in my brief allotment of time. It is clear and unmistakable, however, that we are assembled to commemorate the anniversary of the founding of our beautiful town; to pay reverent homage to the patriot sites of the Revolution, who “gave their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honors,”_ to establish Liberty; to welcome With heartiest greeting, those present, who in the Civil War fought to maintain what the fathers established; to eulogize with our team, more eloquent than words, those whose sacred dust consecrates every Norwalk cemetery and upon whose graves, loving hands have so re- cently laid the beauty and benediction of Spring’s tribute of brightest and most fragrant flowers. . The first shot fired at Sumpter by rebel hands, at 4:30 o’clock on the morning of the 12th of April, ’61, sent its protesting echoes reverberating around the globe. It startled with shuddering and indignant horror, all the loyal North. This first shock _.of war, ended dissentions; fired With intensest fervor, every loyal heart, and the aroused patriotism of our people, burst forth with the sudden, irresistible power of some terrific volcanic eruption. The blood-red flames that crimsoned the waters of Charleston harbor, ere the coming of that fateful morning’s light, thrilled every patriot sire and son with an impetuous, uncontrolable zeal, to avenge the Nation’s murderous wrong. , President Lincoln’s call for. 75,000 volunteers, to “suppress hostile com- binations and enforce tnfi'laWB," was a needless prompting for the valiant to fly to arms. The united, loyal outburst of military enthusiasm, throughout the North, was as unparalled and sublime in its intensity, as it was spontaneous and irresistable in its spread. No state, thanks to our noble War Governor, Buckingham, was better prepared for the conflict than Connecticut. No town was more ready and eager than Norwalk, in the profler of men and means to aid in putting down the thus inaugurated reb'ellion. . _ Norwalk had two representatives in the Cassius M. Clay Battallion which was hastily organized and sworn into the United States service at Washing- ton, April 18th, to protect the Govern- ment, its buildings and property from threatened assassination and destruct- ion, by an armed band of secret con- spirators, at a time when the city was defenceless. These two Norwalk vol- unteers Wonfor our town the credit of having furnished her first two enlist- ments for the fast coming war. ‘ In the three Infantry regiments Con. necticut hurried to the front, Norwalk had eleven volunteers in the First and a fullicompany, commanded by Captain Douglas Fowler. in the Third. These N orwalk men by their conspicuous coolness, obedience to orders, steadi~ ness, and heroic bravery, under fire, at their first “baptism. of blood" at Bull Run, gave to themselves and our pat- riotic old town, a record of imperisha- ble renown. In all the annals of war, probably no such multiplicity of distressingly ludic- rous episodes, were ever witnessed, as occurred on both sides, at Bull Run. A great mass of our raw recruits, be- came panic-stricken under the enemy’s gelling fire, and stampeded pell-mell for Washington. At the same time a large, if ”not an even greater number of rebel. troops, were fleeing quite as frantically for Richmond. The oppor- tune arrival on the field, at a critical Juncture, of J ohnston’s reinforcements, practically saved the day to the rebels, and :the deep and depressing humilia- tion of defeat, rested on the Union arms... , , ‘ The demoralized Union volunteers, Wash- ington b thousands, hatless, coatless and utter y exhausted. They dropped of the Revolution,=’“i and fan 'expert in doorsteps, as lifeless as bags of sand and thus they lay for long hours, till hunger -drove_ them to seek their regi- ments again. Young. Henry Allen proved himself! :the' best. Norwalk sprinter. Hegot into Washington far ahead of the "maddening, crowd,” wearing onlyhis pants, his undershirt, and a look of exhaustion. Every fleeing soidier. seemingly, here some trophyof the battle, although throw- ing awa everything else. _ recs 1 overhauling J.Q. J ennings of Fowler’s company, nearing the Long Bridge, and charging on the Capital as spiritedly and fleetly and bravely as any of the others. He was burdened with a very bigbundle under his arm. “Is that a ‘woman’s cloak?” I asked. dential sort of way unfolded an im- mense rubber mackintosh and in all seriousness, assured me that he had stripped it from the dead ,body of Gen. Beauregard, before he fled from the battlefield. And the comical part of seemed really and truly, to believe the fiction. Another soldier, without coat or hat, was lugging a big bound volume of the Congressional Globe ; still an- other, a large eight-day . Connecticut clock, that must have weighed twenty pounds. _ " I halted and asked one of these Con- necticut boys how he came to thus lose his head, and run away from the enemy so disgracefully ? His reply was pat and to the point—“Why, those d—d rebels marched up in front of us and fired right into our faces! ” These droll incidents of that unpar- alleled stampede, possess a grim humor to us new, but at the time of -their on- actment, they were far too serious for mirthtulness. ' _ It was my fortune to Witness several army stampeding'panics, and I can affirm that a runaway horse is a cool, deliber- ate, conservative, calm, reasonable and reasoning creature, compared to any one of a body of soldiers, thoroughly demoralized by fright. Gen. Robert Tyler, of Connecticut, commanded the advance brigade in which the Norwalk boys served and his troops opened thelfight. Col. Burnham in his report of that disaster, wrote— “Our noble army is routed ; the whole plain is covered with fugitives ; nothing is apparently left, in an organized state, but the Connecticut regiments.” Our next regiment, taking any con- siderable number from Norwalk, was the Fifth Connecticut. The colonelcy of this regiment was tendered by Gov. Buckingham, through 'your speaker, first to Col. F. St.,Jofin Lockwood, who declined it, and then to Orris S._ Ferry, who promptly accepted. In this regi- ment was a orwalk company under command of Alfred A. Chinery. .lt left Hartford July 29th, 1861, Wlth orders to report to Gen. Banks at Har- per: Ferry, and was on arrival, put to duty guarding the eastern bank of the Potomac. It was probably the best drilled, and certainly did more march— ing than any regiment that left our state, having trumped in all. over fif- teen hundred miles, and one day, making the extraordinary march of nearly fifty miles. Rev. George W. 'Lasher, pastor of Norwalk’s first Bap. tist church, was its Chaplain, and Geo. H., and Henry C. Randle, of Norwalk, were regimental sutlers. , While at Darnestown, it was visited by a number of Norwalk people. On one occasion, the speaker was riding into camp with the Colonel’s wife, who had come from Norwalk on a v1s1t and who chanced to be spied by a Wiscon- sin soldier of the brigade. The sight of a lady at the front, was so novel that the soldier yelled back in thunder tones to his distant comrades, “Jerusalem! Here’s a Woman! ” , . This Fifth Regiment was In the bloody battles of Antietam and Cedar Mountain, at which Oliver Brady of Norwalk, and other brave boys were slain. It made an enduring record throughout the war and was also at Gettysburg. Its fearful losses from time to time, were recuperated until more than two thousand names had adorned its rolls. . . Col. Ferry on being commissmned Brigadier General by President Lin- coln, was assigned to duty in the com- mand of Gen. Couch, our Masterof Ceremonies, and esteemed fellow .citi-‘ zenl The battle-scarred Fifth went finally to the west and marched With Sherman’s victorious‘hosts “from At- lanta to the sea.” In the Sixth Regiment, 001. Chat- field’s. which left New Haven Sept. 17th for Washington, Norwalk .had about fifty of her sons. With this regiment our Norwalk boys participated in Ter- ry’s capture of Fort Fisher, January 14-16, 1865. . The Seventh Regiment left for the seat of war September 18th, ’61, Gel. Alfred H. Terry, in command. In May following, the gallant Terry was pro- moted to Brigadier General and his equally gallant Lt. 001., J R Ha wley, now our . S. Senator, became its Colonel. Of Norwalk boys, it had some twenty-five, one of whom, Sergt. James L. Allen, was murdered before Petersburg, by a rebel sharp shooter, when neither army' was in action. This regiment was in the Port Royal expedition and was the first to again plant the Stars and Stripes on rebel South Carolina's soil. It also took part in the capture of Fort Fisher, our Nor- ' walk boys participating in both events. The Eighth Regiment, commanded by 001. Edward Harlan, left Hartford for Annapolis, October 17th, .1861, ass signed to Burnside’s Divmrqn. “It par. ticipated in the fierce battle of’Autietam September 17th',‘1862, and lost‘tvw'hun- dred men. In the regiment Norwalk had Dou lass Fowler, Capt. of Co. B, ,Rev. J. . Wooley, as Chaplain; Wil- .liam A. Sammie and George School: as Musicians ; James L. Russell and Mar- ‘0113 L. Pelham, Captains, and forty-five non-commissioned officers and privates. On Fowl'er’s resigning to raiseanew icompany for the 17th, Russell succeded him. It was my pleasure to bear to €001.

' _ The Seventeenth, or ~“Fairfield County Regiment,” as it was very properly designated, commanded by Col. William H. Noble, took-to the front two hundred and ten non-com- missioned officers and gprivates, from Norwalk. One full company was com:- manded by Douglass Fowler, andam other by Enoch Wood. ;_Wood resigned and was succeded by. Henry Allen. Wilcoxson, Fowlerand- Allen subse- quently and success1vely beCame Lieu- tenant -'Colonels of “the regiment. It was in the hottest of_ the Chancelors- ville fight, and was riddled and decim- ated at Gettysburg. Iii-was in the first opening of that most terrific contest of all the war, on the afternoon of July 1st, when Reynolds fell, and the brave and dauntless Fowler; and so many others of his command, bit the dust, in Early’s sweep across that ill-fated town. Fowler’s body, left on the field, was buried by the enemy and still sleeps in that vast sepulchre of the Nation’s heroic dead, marked only with‘the sin- gle pathetic word, which has brought tears to so many “eyes unused toweep,” “Unknown.” Fowler’s horse, with the keen instinct of its kind, followed rider- less the other steeds, iii the regiments’ retreat up to Cemetery:Ridge. . It was my and privelege to refurn his saddle and trappings to his family here in N orwalk. That struggle at Gettysburg was the fiercest and divest of the Civil war, and had the victory of the last day been followed up as it should have been. and could have been, in the cap- ture of Lee’s routed and fleeing army, it would have ended the slaveholders’ rebellion and saved the thousands of precious lives and untold millions of tears and groans and treasure sacrificed, are our Union forces‘ stacked arms at . Appomattox. The indescribable horrors of that bat- tle-field, come to me, even now, like some terrible nightmare. By massing all the rebel artillery along the front of " their line on that fateful third of July, upon a signal given at one o’clock, a torrent of shot and shell and thunder- roar, such as earth never witnessed be- fore, burst from? their near two hundred cannon throats upon Cemetery Hill. It seemed as if the very jaws of death and hell were opened, and ready to in- gulf the whole Union army. So accu- rate was the time of the enemy’s firing, that a great stream of flame, like a burning river, stretched along the miles of rebel front; the deafening thunder of the guns, the screeching of the shot and shell, rending the air, tearing earth and rock, and mercilessly plowing their furrows through the-ranks of our men and animals; the screams of the wounded, the groans of the dying, and most heart-melting of all, the piteous cries of terror and pain, of the shot- riddled horses, were realities beyond the most lurid conception of Milton or Dante. During all this awfully grand, and sublimcly terrifying tornado of cannonading, I stood as one transfixed, overlooking the scene, at Howard’s headquarters, inside the old graveyard, on the west brow of Cemetery Hill. At a moment when the sun was dark- ened with powder smoke, and. the air black. with the fragments of dismem~ bered humanity, and we dodging the splintered grave-stones and nearly blinded with gravel thrown by rebel shells from the graves, Gen. Howard very kindly advised me to take advan- tage 'of the first lull in. the firing to get to the rear. I replied that there was such a paralyzing fascination about \ the scene, I couldn’t move away. He further urged, th as duty did not call me to this expos re, he thought I should get away before I was injured, or possibly _killed’; I replied frankly, “Well, General, I don’t know but I lack the courage to retreat, but really, I feel as if rivited to this terrible spot, and couldn’t get away if I tried.” I stayed, and guarded his tent, till the firing ceased at the end of two hours, while the very earth trembled, as if in volcanic upheaval. This awful artil- lery tornado was followed, as was ex- pected, by their desperate Infantry charge, of from fifteen to twenty thous. and men, but the Union forces were in readiness, and openeditheir musketry, fire and batteries of eighty guns upon them at close range, mowmg down the rebel advancing ranks as a farmer does his grass. This was a .less awe-inspir- ing but far more sickening sight. Great heaps of rebel dead and dying, lay in front of our lines, as they made charge after charge close up on our men, with the desperation of fiends. It seemed impossible that men could ever get wrought and nerved up, to such brnlish; maniac, ferocity and'utter disregard of their lives. ‘ Norwalk’s Seventeenth Connecticut men, were at the stone wall at the base‘ of the hill on our right flank and re- ceived the shock of Gordon’s Louis- 'ana;-Tigers',frantie charge ; but our boys succeeded in drivmg the enemyback, with fearful slaughter. _At dusk, pick- ing my way over dead men and horses, I walked out a few rods beyond Com- pany F?s position,,to what looked like ' , 'y’iCentinued on page 3.1 ' FAT PEOPLE Get the Back Numbers.
