War An- Patriots Exhaust Supply of Stamps—Funeral of Henry E. derson—Mrs. Henry Stone D Union Service Sunday Even Mrs. M. A. Shumway’s Condition Favorable. While subscriptions were pouring in Friday in this town for war savings stamps there occurred almost an ex- haustion of the supply of the stamps, 50 subscriptions had to be taken with a promise of future delivery. One men appeared at the postoffice looking for a thousand dollars’ worth t}t‘he little securities, but the office wag not prepared to supply that many. Similar conditions were reported from other towns in this district. Chairman Clifford H. Starkweather, of the stamp committee for Daniel- son, was well pleased Friday with the manner in which the people were re- sponding to the call to register and rurchase securities. It was taken by the public generally as an obligation, and the total of money pledged to the government here will be a surprise when the fizures are announced. which probably will not be “efore Monday. In the big manufacturing plants toroyghout the town the operatives werd, doing themseives proud. Can- vassers found that it is no longer dif- ficult to sell war securities, for much of the misunderstanding and appre- hension that existed in ths minds of many persons when the first issues were offered a year ago have been swept away. Today the spirit in this district i little less than exalted. Backing the boys in the trenches has become a habit and hundreds of persons are Iimited in their subscriptions only by tneir financial ability to purchase, There are a.few slackers, of course, but these have only their own shame to compare with the pafriotic sunport that is credited by the government to the great majority of the rank and file of the people living within Kil- lingly's borders.

IND)GNANT,.EJT PERSEVERING. Local Suffragists Surprised by Post- ponement of Congressional Vote.

Miss Anna C. Levitt, for years a well known leader in suffrage work, and secretary of the local branch of the National Womans® Party, said: Democracy is a fearful and wonder- ful thing, as it is nmow being inter- preted in America. Ohe million men drafted jto fight and die to establish democrdcy abroad, while less than one hundred men in the United States senate deny this same liberty to fifty | million American women on account of party interest. Were it not so serious, what a comedy could be written and staged. gFor honestly, is it.fair for men to @pose so many civic obliga- tions on women and accept so many public services from them, and then refuse them a voice in their own gov- ernment? Mrs. Willlam P. Vaughn, state chair- man of the South Carolina branch who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Kenyon, of Grove street, while still hoping for a favorable vote on the amendment next week, said that if it failed to pass the indigna- tion and resentment of American wo- men would be proportionate to their sacrifice and labor for their own and the world’s democracy. THE REGIMENT OF COIT, . GODDARD AND RIPLEY, (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) At a war rally in Breed Hall, Nor- wich, on the evening of July 11th, 1862, when Governor William A. Bucking— ham presided, a special committee was appointed to secure the speedy enlist- ment of men, in response to a sovaEn; ment call The committee, of which: James Lloyd Greene was chairman, decided to offer as bounty to those \Dlun(eering from Norwich thirteen dollars, making together with what the state and government offered a total of $100 to each recruit. Again, on Thursday, July 24th, a county mass meeting was held on Franklin Square, when the late John T. Wait presided. . The enthusiasm of the town and county flamed forth, aroused by the speeches of patriotic citizens and of soldiers temporarily home. A stirring episode of this memorable monster meeting was the introduction of a Greeneville delegation of fourteen members from a company almost full, who sang with what is recorded as thrilling effect a song composed for that meeting. PR 2 The key-note of the speaking was struck in the repeated and earnestly presented question, “What can I do to aid the Government?” ~ The kindled excitement and interest of the meeting were carried over intn @ secand gathering in Breed Hall that same evening, at which representative | men of the county spoke. Enlistmenti books were kept open on the stage, and during the continuance of the rally! men came forward amid prolonged; applause and cheering, to enroll As a result of these popular demon- strations, enlisting .and .persuading others to enlist became the business of the hour. Love of country asserted itself once more, above every personal and par- tisan -feeling. The first regiment to feel the efiect of this new awakening of the war spirit was the Fourteenth, to which Norwich contributed as follows: Company E, captain, William H. Tubbs; first lientenant, Morton F. Hale; the latter was promoted commissary of sub- sistence, in Decem’er, 1862; .ser- geants, James R. Nichols, promoted captain;” Frederick E. Schalk. pro- moted first lieutenant; Henry C. Miller. In Company E, were Lieut. James B. Coit, afterwards promoted capta major, Henry P. Coddard. Serges major, afterwards promoted captoth and Lieut. George C. Ripley, together with about forty enlisted men. The regiment left camp in Hartford, Aug- ust 25th. and without being allowed even time for necessary instruction, was ordered at once into the hard fought battle of Antietam, September, Here it suffered severely, but, al- though a new regiment, bore itself with great courage and merit. It had been hurried by forced marches to the battlefield without even knapsacks or regimental baggage, and was thirty-six hours under fire at Antietam, with scarcely anvthing to eat or drink during that trying space. From that time onward,” the Four- teenth was kept in almost constantly active service, and was emphatically a fighting regiment. At the battle of Fredericksburg it continued in the Second Corps. which, with the Ninth Corps, formed the right grand division under G&neral Sumner. It was the only Connecticut regiment engaged and was in the division that opened the battle. After making three separate charges under severe artillery fire, it fell back only when the division was retired, bearing with it the body of the brave Lieutenant-Colonel Perkins. who had been severely wounded. The agsgre- 'zate loss of the regiment was one hurdred and twenty-two. At_the battle of Chancellorsville, the Fourteenth was actively engaged. fighting with great coolmess, its brief experience having made it among the most reliable of Connecticut regiments. Here its losses were again heavy, and the splendid regiment which left the state in August, 1862, ten hundred | Ixand fifieen strong, was already re- duced by reason of its constant ’fightmg to two hundred and nineteen men in service. | At Gettysburg, July, 1863, the con- |duct of the Fourteenth was spoken of 1as meriting the highest terms of praise.
