s. A. s. (WEsT) BRIMFIELD.-An oyster
Festival was given on Friday evening, the
18th inst, at the residence of Mr.. R. Hart,
West Brimfeld, in honor of visit of private
G. Carrier, (Co. F, of the famous 7th Reg't,
a volunteer of 1861 who is now home on
-furlough.
The arrangements of the evening had been
SO conducted as to attract large attendance,
and to ensure satisfaction to every one; and,
as usual, the earnest activity of those who
had the management of the same, met with
success.
Our soldier, for whom the occasion was or
dered, was warmly greeted by many old
friends. Some hand had woven a warriors
crown--a worth;ly won "green laurel boughn
which was honored in such manner as
became a right loyal and true man of camps.
Like a genuine American, his country rep
resents home, friends, and all; and he is eager
to return again to duty. His severe expert
ence has only brought him to believe aig
''Tbat country thing should die for at
need" = =st T.. e.sr-
Those of the party who were musical, at
fitting intervals enlivened the entertainment
by vocal performances. The singing was ad-
rnirable, the listeners appreciative; indeed,
everybody seemed particularly pleased and
happy. And SO agreeable evening ended
agreeably, as gatherings similarly attended
and superintended always do. The receipts
were $500. .lg

FAST DAY.-The National Fast, recon-

in innumerable places, to suspend ordinary
business, and observe the day in an appropri-

religious rest, and abstinence from ordinary
secular pursuits. This is right and commend

Ruler Of the Universe, in fasting and prayer,
and supplicate for the stability ofsa vindica-

the wicked and guilty cause of the atrocious
rebellion-human bondage-and let them
pray that the war and slavery may end to-
gether-that peace and amityy, and a fraternal
Union of States may henceforth be uninter-
rupted and perpetual. In short, in che prayers

batteries lost heavily, but the guns were ali
saved.
The enemy Is now no longer in our re,r.
but directly In our front, between us and our
forces In Fredericksburg. We occupy fortifi ed
and intrenched positions. The enemy gained
some ground, but at the eacrifce of FIVE Of his
seven divisions.
Sunday afternoon the rebels made several
attempts to force our lines, several OF his bat
teries and regiments being actually destroyed
In an attempt to carry the apex of our position
near Chancellor House, where q large quantity
OF our artillery is msssed,
Our present position is impregnable. Gen.
Lee ordered that our lines must be broken at
oil nnzards, but the rebels will only destroy
themselves BY their attscks. Our troona are
perfectly cool and confident

A Falmouth letter OF Sunday, 10 P. M.
states: Gen. SsdgWick attacked the heights Of
Fredericksburg gslIantly, and cirried them by
storm, capturing the 18th and 18th Mississippi
regiments, one company Of the New Orleans
Washington artillery Of eight guns, and over
one thousand prisoners. Gen Gibbon planted
the Stars and Stripes over the rebel works,-
Our loss was moderate.
Sedgwick slterward drove the rebels back,
and at six P. M. Sunday had advanced to q
brick church four miles aud half toward
Chancellorville, on the plank road. Here he
had severe fight with Esrl's rebel division,
reinforced by Lee, but repulsed them, taking o
lot of prisoners. The enemy Is now hemmed
10 between Hooker and Sedgwlck, The ad-
vantage is decidedly with US.
The Herald says our loss in storming the
heights al Fredericksburg was about one thou
sand killed and wounded.
The Worlds correspondent says: The battle
was resumed Monday, and Was most desperate
affair. The rebels made series of supsrbu-
man attacks at all points, but we're repused
with terrific slaughter.
Our forces have destroyed bridges in the rear
Of the rebels across the Matipo,s, thus COM
