Christmas-ania.
Our enterprising Norwalk merchants
seem to have broken the recorchthis
year, and shoppers are really delight-
fully surprised at the big and tempting
display of Holiday Goods in our City
stores. Of course the great Boston
Department Store stands at the head
. of the Dry Goods and Holiday gift
houses of our town. This Emporium
expends for advertising more than
double any other mercantile concern
in town, and therefore sells more than
double the quantity of goods and of
course has to keep a much larger stock
than others. They have Christmas toys
enough to take one’s breath away and
at remarkably low prices.
At Hale’s Corner Drug Store, will be
found an endless variety of substantial
holiday goods of rare attractions and
real merit and at very reasonable
prices. In perfumeries, pocket-books
and cutlcries, he has both beauties and
bargains, with remedies galore.
If the weather continues fine of course
you will want to ride out and nowhere
can you get such a turn-out as at Dann’s
stables.
If you own a horse and want to be
sure that he is properly shod, you will
go of course to Jack Lycett’s on Cross
street. .
A superior roast, of course you :must
have and Batesat No. 5 Water street
offers you such bargains in marketing
as will make you forget all about the
“hard times.”
The feet must be properly cared for
to preserve health and life and nowhere
can you find a better line of seasonable
boots and shoes and Holiday-gift slip-
pers, of more enduring quality or at
more reasonable prices, than at the old
reliable shoe store of A. H. Hoyt & Son.
Then the Olsens’, Pure and File, at
South Norwalk and in the GAZETTE
Building, are just up and humping the
fancy and substantial shoe-trade and
offering such tempting prices as well as
goods, as to make one’s head sw1m.
Their assortments are charming, per-
.fect, and the crowds thronging their
two stores are loud in their expressions
of admiration. In face of their beauti-
ful displays no one one now finds it
necessary to go to New York or Bridge-
port, to get the most exquisite foot-
fittings made. They are winning both
fame and fortune and deserve it, for
their liberality and enterprise.
Speaking of Bridgeport, reminds us
' that it has a, first class Business Col-
lege at 325 Main street, which affords
exceptional opportunities to our youths
of both sexas who desire a thorough
business education and training.
Then there is the great D. M. Bead
Co’s. Dry Goods Emporium, with
which for years our Norwalk ladies
have been most agreeably familiar.
They know where and how to advertise
so as to get the best returns, and then
too, they know what the people want
'V and what will please them in prices and
qualities. For a score of years their
advertisement, have appeared in the
GAZETTE and no one of their legions of
Norwalk customers have ever come
away deceived or dissatisfied. Their
floors, shelves and counters are now
loaded with holiday goods‘ and bar-
gains and everything to be found in a
New York store can be had of them at
half the worry and cost of a trip to
the city. The Read company is pure
gold and no discount. If trading in
Bridgeport, you do yourself an injustice
if you don’t visit this emporium. No
richer or handsomer goods, at more
reasonable prices can be had anywhere.
Scofield 8r Hoyt are “in it” with
their large stock of “sensible and on-
during holiday goods,” such as furni-
ture, bedding, carpets, mattings, rugs,
~ portiers, window curtains, shades, etc.,
at their Club House store, and a care.
fully selected array of every descrip-
tion of articles usually found in a, dry
goods house, at their South Norwalk
store, and all for sale at prices never
known before, to either the public or
the trade.
Then there is Kocour, the fashion-
able tailor down at South Norwalk,
who always gives his customers fits of
the satisfactory kind. No one will re-
gret it, who gives him an order for a
custom made dress or a business suit-
Go and see him.
Mrs. Fawcett will adorn the ladies’
heads with bewitching bonnets, if you
call on her at No. 3 Water street.
Then for all sorts of holiday pres-
ents for the children, from a steam en-
gine to a tin horn, go to Williams’, 15
Wall street. All sorts of toys to de-
light the little ones can there be found
and at prices lower than ever known
before. -.
If you want any painting, papering
and house decorating done, Mr. Geo.
H. Osterbanks will be only too glad to
execute your orders faithfully and
promptly and well.
Mr. and Mrs. Bredice, 36 Main street,
will do both fur and garment making
and repairing for ladies and gents. He
is an expert furrier and tailor and she a
Parisian dressmaker.
The Holmes, Keeler S: Selleek Co.
will furnish you the best flour in the
world, and at a price lower than was
ever known before.
Raymond 8.: Son, show an unusually
large stock of rich and plain furni-
tures of every description, and at very
reasonable prices. ‘vive them a call.
E. Gusowski, opposite the Gaan'rTn
Building, is prepared to supply his
gentlemen friends with holiday suits
of the finest clothes, from the best and
most carefully selected stock of cloths
in the market. Go and give him your
order at once so as to start off the New
Year well dressed and looking comfort-
able and successful. ‘You w0u’t regret
it.
Then if your finances just now are of
the regulation sort, and whose is not,
all you’ve got to do is to hurry over to
Taft Brothers and get clothed up in
good and comfortable style at- prices so
low and reasonable, that a Londoner
would be astonished. Taft Brothers
lead the race as a genuine “bargain
store”.
W. A. Benedict & Co. tell their own
story in their mammoth half page ad-
vertisement in to-day’s GAZETTE. They
claim to sell ready-made garments
of equal cut, make and style to the
best custom work and for prices fully
one half less. Their garments are cer-
tainly very stylish and they seem to
have‘a way of making them fit like a
glove. They are certainly doing a won-
derfully large trade, when the condi-
tions of the times are considered and
they well deserve it, for they are wide-
awake, liberal and enterprising, just
the kind the public like to deal with.
If there is one thing customers under.
stand as fully as another, it is that the
merchant who advertises the most lib-
erally is the man who invariably gives
you the most for your money.
And to the good friends whose stand-
ing ads. we have thus hurriedly scanned
and those also who give us the more
than one hundred “locals,” the GA-
ZETTE extends its heartiest compliments
of the season, and tenders them, one
and all, “the assurance of its distin-
guished consideration.”
Amusements.
NOBWALK OPERA HOUSE.
Who does not remember Archie
Boyd the big-hearted, jovial, tender-
natured Uncle Josh Whitecomb, of the
"Old Homested.” All America has
laughed at his drolleries, admired his
simple-hearted honesty and sympa-
thized in mimic woes. Archie Boyd is
unquestionably :the greatest delineator
of Yankee character on the American
stage, and it is stated that the role
which he assumes in “The Country
Squire,” that of the old deacon, offers
him even better opportunities to play
his matchless abilities in his peculiar
line. The company will appear at the
Norwalk Opera House, next Wednes-
day evening.

CHAPTER XXXV.
Before Hallock had, as the best mili-
tar y authorities seemed to agree, blund-
eringly ordered MeClellan’s army from
the James to Acquia Creek, thefiCon-
federates were bewildered as to wheth-
er to again strike MCClellan or move
northward and attack Pope. But as
soon as our Peninsular army commenc-
ed its retrograde movement, Lee at
once knew all further menace to Rich-
mond was at an 'end, so he promptly
prepared to attack Pope. So strong
was McClellan’s judgment against the
wisdom or even common-sense, of a
removal of his army from their position
near Richmond, that most regular army
ofiicers privately justified his evidently
purposed delay in moving his troops up
to Acquia Creek.‘ No good reason was
ever furnished the public why if the
Potomac Army was to be withdrawn
from before Richmond, it should not
have been united with Pope’s army in
defence of our own capital.
Hallock’s unaccountable order for
the transfer, was given McClellan on
the 3d of August. He made no attempt
to move until eleven days afterward
and it was the 24th before he reached
the Creek, and then neither he or any
one else seemed to know why or for
what purpose they were quartered
there. General Lee made haste to
throw his whole army upon Pope be-
fore McClellan’s slow-moving forces
could be got to his support, and suc-
ceeded beyond his most sanguine ex—
pectations.
The disasters sustained by Pope, and
to the Union cause, could not have oc-
curred, had our idle troops under Mc-
Clellan been concentrated, with his,
nor would Lee have dared leave his'
fortifications at Richmond, had not
McClellan’s army retired. Rebel sue-
cesses greatly encouraged the South
and equally disheartened all the loyal
people of the North. The “copper.
head” element at the North also be-
came more openly and defiantly dis-
loyal in their sympathies, utterances
and actions than ever before. Lee,
after defeating Pope, prepared to in-
vade Pennsylvania via the upper Poto«
mac. Gen. Bragg had invaded Ken-
tucky and awakened an intense sympa-
thy and interest, in rebel successes,
among the disloyal people of that
state. Pope had {been deposed from
his command because of cruel, if
not plotted defeats, and McClellan
was again ordered to the command
of the defences of Washington,
Lee, meantime, passing above the for-
tifications guarding our capital, passed
above Washington and over into Mary~
land en route on his contemplated in-
vasion of Pennsylvania. McClellan
was this time alert enough to head Lee
off and stop his progress further north-
ward, by giving him battie at Antetam,
This desperate fight occurred on Sept.
17th, and after a fearful slaughter of
troops on both sides resulted in a pro-
nounced Union victory. On the 13th,
Harper’s Ferry had been surrendered
with a loss to us of over twelve thous-
and men, who should have been saved
from such disaster, and with McClel-
lan in this battle, and with whom, he
could no doubt have administered to
Lee a crushing defeat. His victory
however, was of the utmost importance
in that it ended for that time any fur-
ther advance of Lee toward Pennsyl-
vania. Here again McClellan got into
his habitual wrangle with the authori-
ties at Washington. After an angry,
dis utations correspondence with Hal-
locfi. he got this. dispatch: “The
President directs that you cross the
Potomac and give battle to the enemy
or drive him south. Iain directed to
add that the Secretary of War and the
General-in-Chief, (himself,) fully con-
cur with the President in these instruct-
ions.” Again, this peremptory order
was loiteringly disregarded by Me-
Clellan with his customary stubborn-
ness. He defended his dillitory action
or rather non-action, by the opinion
that while he was in command, he
should be the one to determine its
' movements. The last of October he
crossed the Potomac and had marched
down to Warrenton, Va., when he re-
ceived at midnight of the seventh of
November, Mr. Lincoln’s order to
“surrender his command to Gen. A. E.
Burnside, and to report himself, imme-
diately at Trenton, N. J .f’
The justification of this harsh order
is explained by the feeling at Washing-
ton that it was utterly impossible for
the government to Esecure the prompt
and execution of its most imperative
orders or to Work with any degree of
harmony or effective cordiality with
this contumacious and yet unques-
tionably popular, commander 01 our
army. _ .
This ended the military career of
George B. McClellan but not the criti-
cisms pro and con, of his. military ad-
ministration, and the Wisdom or un-
wisdom of the President’s sudden, and
as many fair minded people seemed to
think, inopportuue action. The time
for his removal, if at all, was at the
end of the dismal and lamentable fiasco
in his attempt to capture Richmond.
Then the impatient and even disgusted
and, almost disheartened loyal'senti-
ment of the North, was for his imme.
diate and ignominious dismissal. from
the command of the army. . No military
commander in the field, ever sent so
false, arrogant, insulting and inexcusa-
ble message to_his government as this,
which McClellan wired Secretary
Stanton, when retreating from . the
enemy, on the lines of the James river,
in these words: “If I save this army
now,.AI tell you plainly that I owe no
thanks to you or to any one in Wash-
ington. You have done your best to
sacrifice this army.” Though. sent
through the War Department, it was
in fact intended for the President of
the United States and the Commander-
in-Ch‘ief of the Nation‘s armies. In any
other? civilized nation on earth this
outrageously impudent dispatch would
have meant instant dismissal and in
many countries, severe punishment. 1f
not lugtant death. Some malign influ-
ence, eemed to have environed this
soldiét, beloved of his men, and so
' concepedly learned in the art of war,
and .tt'n equally unfortunate and con-
stanfifirritation and friction existed at
, at Department, in all that Mc-
fi, 'was required to do.
‘ Gent Burnside assumed command _of
the, army, with great hesitancy and sm-
ceregmisgivings as to his ability to
properly handle so large a body of
men. , ,Being personally pressed by the
President and Secretary of War, he
had reluctantly assented, honestly pur-
posing: to dohis duty to the best of his
ability; Under orders from Gen. Ha1~
lock he at once transferred his army to
the banks of the Bappahannock, op-
posite 1. Fredicksburg, Va. On the
16th of December he opened the terri-
ble and disastrous, and it now seems,
almost" inexcusable battle with Lee.
The. rebels fought behind earthworks
and rifle pits running up the steep
ascent on the west shores of the river,
for more than a mile, and our brave
boys, who crossed on pontoons under
a galling fire of the enemy’s artillery,
fought their way up the steep incline,
against the odds of the rebel infantry
securely covered by rifle pits and
pouring a constant and deadly rain of
leaden ‘hail into our unprotected ranks.
Our crushing defeat spread a pall of
gloom in Washington and throughout
the loyal North. The Confederates
were correspondingly jubilant. Poor
Burnside was mercilessly criticised by
his fellow officers, in Congress and by
press and people. The day of the bat
tie, I chanced to be in Washington and
hurried to the front, but reached Gen.
Burnside’s head-quarters after the fight
had been for several hours concluded
and while our ten thousand dead and
wounded, were being actively cared
for. The General was always exceed-
ingly courteous and frank, open and
honest with the Army reporters as with
every one else. He could not be sur-
ly, curt or rude to any one who was a
gentleman. In attempting a hurried
“.n tervie w,” to get from him the sali—
ent points of the fearful contest, which
he cheerfully accorded, the poor man
completely broke down and wept like a
woman. The strain upon his tender
sympathies, caused ‘ by the ' terrible
slaughter and result-ing in an ignomious
defeat of our army, was greater than
he could bear. I left his head-quarters
oppressed with the feeling that so great
and tender-hearted a man was of too
kindly a nature to command an army
in actual war.
very Gibraltar, and no one, including
Halleck, has ever been quite willing to
acknowledge responsibility for opening
an attack against such impregnable
odds. Here too, Burnside got into a
quarrel with his Generals, accusing
Gen Hooker, our Gen.‘ Franklin and
others of having acted with disloyalty
and treachery. He went so far in his
indignation as to indite an order dis-
missing from the army these inculpated
Generals, whom he also accused of
going to Washington and poisoning the
President, War Department and Con-
gross against him. Fortunately, he
took this order to Mr. Lincoln, before
its promulgation, for his approval. In
his happy and conciliatory way, Mr.
Lincoln settled the difficulty by trans—
ferring Burnside to a more agreeable
command at the West and then placed
Hooker in command of the chronically
mismanaged army of the Potomac.
