1789. Fri Oct 16 1863: Mr. W.A. Frye, at Newport, recently shot a white headed-eagle, with a rifle, at a distance of over three hundred yards. When his wings were spread he measured seven feet from tip to tip.

1790. Fri Oct 16 1863: It is stated upon reliable authority that our entire loss in the battles near Chattanooga will not exceed fifteen thousand in killed, wounded and missing, and that our net loss of cannon was twenty.

1791. Fri Oct 16 1863: Gen. B.H. Helm, of the rebel army, who was killed at Chickamauga, was the brother-in-law of Mrs. President Lincoln, he having married her half sister. He entered the Southern army as a private, and rose to the rank of a brigadier.

1792. Fri Oct 16 1863: The War.

In Virginia.

The Army of the Potomac has been "changing its base, in the language of the dispatches, during the last few days, and, although we obtain only confused and imperfect accounts, it is evident there has been considerable fighting and cavalry skirmishing, with the advantage not wholly on our side. Still, we do not suppose any very serious disaster has befallen Gen. Meade's army.

From what we can gather it appears that Gen. Lee attempted to turn the right flank of our army, get in our rear, cut off our communications and perhaps fight a battle if he got in a position to take us at a disadvantage. Gen. Meade, discerning the movement, fell back from Culpepper, and crossed the Rappahannock without serious loss. On Sunday Gen. Kilpatrick lost about 150 men in a cavalry fight. On Monday the 2d Brigade of Gen. Gregg's Division was flanked and surrounded near Jefferson, not far from Sulphur Springs. Our men cut their way through, losing some 450.

The rebels are apparently attempting the same game with Meade that they did with Pope over a year ago. They hold Thoroughfare Gap and the Bull Run mountains, and it is not very improbable that another battle may be fought near the famous battle-ground. A few days will determine the character of the movements of both armies, and develop more fully the plans of the enemy.

At Chattanooga.

The situation at Chattanooga is represented as favorable. The rebels hold Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge, from the former of which they commenced shelling us the other day, doing, however, no damage.

The plan of the enemy appears to be not to make an attack in front, but to compel us to abandon Chattanooga by simply holding us in our present position, with the army in our front, annoying us with their artillery, and breaking our lines of communication by cavalry raids in our rear. The last part of this programme is being carried out by the Wheeler Cavalry. A part of this force fell in with the train of the Fourteenth Corps, near Anderson, in the Sequatchie Valley, stampeded off the teamsters and destroyed between 200 and 300 wagons, about thirty of which were loaded with ammunition, and the remainder with clothing and supplies. The mules they could not run off they shot, to the number of several hundred, as they were leaving the scene of destruction. A cavalry division put them to flight and killed 120 of their number.

Later intelligence represent the raiders dispersed, the line of communication open and ample reinforcements received and on the way.

In East Tennessee.

Gen. Burnside on Saturday and Sunday had a fight with the rebels near Greenville, and compelled them to retreat. We lost about 60 in killed and wounded. The reports from East Tennessee are encouraging, and it appears that we hold it secure.

The Texas Expedition.

This expedition has not been very fortunate thus far. The division of it that went to the Sabine Pass, proved an abortion, losing two gunboats, 200 men besides guns and munitions. Recently Gen. Leake with 400 men was captured near the Atchafalaya. At last accounts the land forces were "marching on."

At Charleston.

On the night of the 5th the rebels exploded a torpedo containing 60 pounds of gunpowder under the Ironsides, while lying in Charleston Harbor. One report says the vessel was badly damaged; another, that no material damage was done to the hull, engine or armament.

Gen. Gilmore is still erecting batteries and it is supposed he will open on the forts and city soon.

1793. Fri Oct 16 1863: Nine Russian war vessels are in New York harbor, and, as their mission is undoubtedly a friendly one, pains are taken to give the officers and men a pleasant impression of America and her institutions. Russia has conducted herself in the most honorable manner since our civil troubles commenced, and we trust that the friendship between the bear and the eagle will long continue.

1794. Fri Oct 16 1863: Dancing School. Mr. Hazen returns his sincere thanks to the ladies and gentlemen of Willimantic and vicinity for the many past favors already bestowed on him in his profession and respectfully informs them that his school for instruction in Manners and Dancing will commence at Basset's Hall, on Wednesday, Oct. 21, 1863, from 2 till 5 P.M., and from 7 til 10 in the evening.

Terms for each Gentleman with privilege of inviting one or more ladies 13 afternoons and evenings, $5.00.

Masters under 15 years single, $3.00.

Ladies preferring to pay their own tuition, $2.00.

Mr. Hazen assures his patrons and public, that the strictest propriety in every particular will be inculcated in his school.

1795. Fri Oct 16 1863: Marriages.

In Willimantic, October 12, by Rev. S.G. Willard, Mr. Darius Darling, of Ashford, and Mrs. Deborah Goff, of Willimantic.

1796. Fri Oct 16 1863: Deaths.

In Stafford Springs, September 30, Jasper H. Spellman, aged 39, a prominent business man and former member of the Legislature.

In Pomfret, October 4, Mrs. Beasy Gilbert, aged 92 years.
