Norwich bulletin., 1911-09-02

Considerable feeling was being
aroused throughout the state of Con-
necticut fifty years ago the past week
over the expressions against the gov
eminent and the formation of secret
societies favoring the SO called peace"
movement. This became so noticeable
that Governor Buckingham issued a
proclamation against it and urged the
people to support the government.
There was much excitement in this
city over the arrest of Henry L. Rey-
nolds as one suspieioned of treason.
He had been in Mobile and Washing-
ton and while in the latter city had
extensive correspondence with Mobile
and large amount of his cores
pondence was found in Washington.
He had come hare for three weeks and
while he was about ready to leave the
city with his wife he was arrested
a the Wauregan and his trunk
brought back from the depot. He had
two tickets for Nashville. BY direc-
tions from the government he was
taken to Fort Lafayette. There was
but little sympathy for him. says the
Bulletin of fifty years ago, though one
man at the Falls was for rushing to
his aid and freeing him. 1t has been
known here that he favored the rebel
cause.
The formation of companies for new
regiments was underway at this period
and the sixth and seventh regiments
were radually filling up at New Ha-
Ven and other companies were join
ing regiments at Hartford. The fear
that drafting would have to be re-
sorted to was beginning to arise but
had not as yet been started.
Six Enlist In Navy.
The following items are taken from
the Bulletin of 80 years ago.

camped near Oyster Point near New

panies in camp.
Major Birge in Command.
August 90, 1S61-Unpleasant rumors
concerning the 4th regim ant station
ed at Frederick, Md, are being re-
ceived. 1t is said that 40 are under
arrest for mutinous conduct and dis
satisfaction exists over not receiving
their pay regularly. All the letters
from the regiment speak in the high
est terms of Major Henry w. Birge
who has been in command a grea
part of the time since their departure
from Hartford.
Meetings are being arranged in Leb-
anon and Jewett City to be addressed
by John 7. Adams and Daniel B
Tyler for the purpose of encouraging
enlistments.

August 80, 1s61-Jerome Tourtellotte

recruiting a company in Putnam an6
Major Burton has opened an Office
for the same purpose in Danielson-
vile.
It seems that the rebels are pre-
pairing to add to their other outrage
by employing the tribes of savage In
dams to fight against the government

flag in New London on the 9th and
several boys in the neighborhood pull
