Litchfield enquirer., 1861-06-13

Eol. DnADi OAsE.-We . are requested to say I that Col. Brady, of the Third Regiment C. v., denies the truth of the statements as to his diff. ficulty with Gen. Tyler, sent home, and publish. l ed in the Hartford Press, and expressed his de- termination to present the matter in very diff ferent light when he is allowed Court Martial. Gentlemen who have visited the camp recently i seem inclined to take sides with him but they probably hear one side while we at home have heard the other. He should not be preiudiced by ec porte statements, but should retain the re- spect of his friends until he is iudicially proyen to have forfeited it. We understand that tbe claim of Capt. Brady is that Col. Chatfiela hai not been legally appointed Colonel when he re- fused to give him the command of his Regiment, and that he had not even received official notice of the appointment of Gen. Tyler When he did receive the notice, he at once submitted to his authority.-N. fl. Journal.
 man and woman in a wagon were challenged by the sentinels of the First Connecticut Reei
 ment near Alexandria Saturday. They pToanc- ed pass signed by the Provost Marshal of AL e1andria. Led by Yankee curiosity to examine the contents of the wagon, an animal of the genus rebel was found covered up in the bottom of the wagon. He was relieved from his disagreeable situation, and escorted to the Guard tent.
 Letters have been received from Major Gene. 1 tdi oouh V. Y IrelnuHt, uateu HI lOuuOu, Statlng that he has purchased 10000 Enfield rifles and several batteries of riaed cannon. for the United States government, wbich he is waiting for and will bring with him. At present he is delayed until a portion of the rifles are finished; He states further, that the Commissioners of the l Confederate States had instructions to procure several steamers in England for the service of the Montgomery government, but that there was some difficulty about getting the money in fact, 1 the needful had not arrived from the South They succeeded, however, in purchasing two steamers. for which they paid E70,0Q0 tS350,- 000). These vessels are to sail for a Southern port, under the British flag and registered as the property of British owners, carrying nolhing contraband of war, but probably in ballast mere. ly. How they will he served by our blockading squadron remains to be seen.
 FRIEND..Y POSITION or ErR0PEAN POWER. The United States government has received assurances from Russia that the rebels will receive no sanction or encouragement from her. Austria gives equally as warm assurances, while protesting against Burlngame on personal grounds. France is cordially with us not in word but in decd were we in need of her assistance. The last dispatches from Mr. Adams announced that the British government is now as wei disposed toward us as we can desire. The ministers have given him most friendly and cordial hearing, and rebellion will hencefOrth find no sympathy at the court of St. James.
 TIE "Wu.D CAr' REGIMENT The regiment of lumbermen now in camp at Harrisburgh must be 'some persimmons," if one-half what is re- ported of them be true. Their skill with the rife is d touch above extra. The entire lives of the men are spent in the !ineries of Potter. and Elk Counties except when they are rafting and their only pastime is with the rife, which brings the smallest as well as the largest game to their feet. The use of small shot they cen slider unworthy the skill of the hunter. They bring down squirrel from the top of pine so lofty that the game is scarcely visible to Ordina- ry eyesight. The men in their daily work of cutting timber, receive more or less aX-wounds, and for this reason several of them were rcjec- ted on inspection. They grumbled immensely at their rejection, and are determined to fight and for this purpose are seeking admission to other regiments. One man whe Wys rejected lost his temper, and offered to bet the inspector that he would walk fifty miles without complain ing of weariness, and not eat or drink anything until the work was accomplished. More than this, he offered to double the first wager that he cond pierce the eyes of Jeff. Davis or any other traitor, with his rife. at distance of two hun dred and fifty yards The inspecting officer was so impressed by the mans remonstrance against rejection that he declined the bet and ordered him to fall back into the ranks. Five of the rejected men exhibited their skill with the rife at Philadelphia, by knocking five cent piece from split stick at the distance one hum dred and fifty yards. The "Wild Cat" Regi- ment if composed of such fellows, is evidently . "big thing
