The court monies accorded to those who have faithfully served their country, he was interrupted in listen- ing to what was being said, by a military person who said that Col. Sewall ordered him and his | say, "Private George Brown inet his death at the men to the Camp at Grapevine Point. The men ; hands of Sergt. Robert Latta, Co. C, 15th C. V., had homes in New Haven, their hard fought bat- ; but that no blame attaches to Sergt. Latta."

Capt. Wm. L. Spalding.


Capt. Spalding, killed at New Market, Va., en- tered the service from Eastford, in this county, in August, 1862, as Second Lieut. of Co. D, Eigh- teenth Regiment. Ile was soon promoted to be First Lieut. iu the same company, and after the disaster at Winchester, was commissioned as Cap- tain of Co. B. Captain S. was the only son of Reubea Spalding, Eastford. At the time of his death, he was abont twenty seven years of age and uumarried. Early iu life he determined on a liberal course of study, and followed out his plans with characteristic industry and self-reli- anee. Ile prepared for college at Wilbraham, Mass., aud in 1800 graduated at Middletown, Conu., bearing off the highest honors of the in- stitution. Ile afterwards studied law in this vil- lage, in the office of Judge Carpenter and E. L. Cundall, Esq.


Captain Spalding was a young man of great promise. Along with natural abilities of the first order, he possessed indomitable energy, perseve- ranee and resolution. Difficulties and dangers that appalled others seldom daunted him. The same thoroughiness and efficiency that had char- acterized him in his studies and in business, dis. tinguished him also in the service. As Provost Marshal-a position he held for a long time after the battle of Gettysburg-he had, by the ac- knowledgment of all, but few superiors. He was clear sighted, firm, honest, and fearless. A stranger wor' I perhaps pronounee him unsocial, but he i' : red upon acquaintance, and when ainon~ s his conversation sparkled with hu .. .. at wit. Religious principle governed 1. „house life. With a full knowledge of the "ar yers of war, he deliberately chose what he asidered the path of duty, the end of which to him was death.


Thus in his country's cause has fallen another brave, reliable, Christian soldier. A regiment of noble men mourn liis loss and will strive to | in the battery after the rebels left it. The offi- avenge his death. But the bereaved mother and sisters who loved him so tenderly-God alone can assuage their grief .- Windham Co. Transcript.

CAMP 15TH CONN. VOLS., } Newbern, N. C., Nov. 21st, 1864.


At a meeting of Co. B, 15th Conn. Vols., held at their quarters, on the eve of Nov. 21st, the following Preamble and Resolutions were unani- Inously adopted:


WHEREAS, It having pleased Almighty God, in His All-Wise Providence, to remove by death our late esteeined friend and companion in arms, Sergeant ELLIOTT REYNOLDS, be it there- fore


Resolved, That feeling in our own hearts the sorrow of the bereaved family, we hereby tender our heartfelt sympathy to the widowed mother, to whom the deceased was a filial reliance and an object of tenderest regard, and also the sorrow- ing sister und brothers, whose homes have been darkened by death.


Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased, and to the New Haven Journal nud Conrier for publication. Serg't WILLIAM B. Jonssos, Corp'l CHABLE, D. BARNES, Committee. Private GEORGE W. STODDARD,

THE FIRST HEAVY ARTILLERY, have shown splen- did mettle and discipline in the recent victorious engagements. We print a second letter received just too late for insertion among the Army Cor- respondeuec :-


ORDNANCE OFFICE, SIEGE ARTILLERY, Broadway Landing, Va., April 5th, 1865. MESSRS. EDITORS :- Again I seat myself to write the most cheering news it has been my good for- tune to hear. At last Petersburg and Richmond are ours. At last we ean look forward to a speedy and honorable closo of the War. Have we not cause to be devontly thankful for the great vie- tories achieved by the national forees? How many, many thousand hearts are beating for joy to see this happy moment. I will now give some particulars of the part taken by the 1st Conn. Artillery, during the late battle before Petersburg, as far as I ean ascertain them. When the charge was made on the rebel works, Co's L, MI, E, and I, or rather detachments from these Co's opened in the charge. As soon ns they reached the forts they turned the enemy's guus aud mortars on their retreating forces, and opened fire. These detachments were supplied before the charge, with Lanyards and Friction Primers, which proved to be a wise precaution. In less than five minutes from the time the enemy left their works, our boys had opened fire on them from the guns aud mortars. The rebels charged one of the bat - teries taken by ns, (Battery Mahone, ) seven suc- eessive times, but were gallantly repulsed. At one time the battery was nearly re-captured, as the infantry support ran off, leaving the Battery wholly unsupported. Lieut. Rogers, of Co. K, had his blouse pierced by several bullets, but luckily


eers and men during the charge aud the subse- quent oeeupation of the rebel works, behaved admirably, and are deserving of the highest praise. The armaments of Batteries A, I, L, MI and also those companies, are now at Broadway Landing, with IS Coehorn Mortars captured at Petersburg. Co's K and E. are still at l'etersburg garrisoning rebel works. Co. K is in the famous "Chesterfield Battery."


Everything is quiet along these lines. We expect good news from Grant and Sheridan uro- mentarily.


For the information of the friends of the 1st Conn., I give the location of the companies. Co's Resolred, That in the death of our late eom- rade, the Country has lost a patriotie nud useful sol- | Co's E and K, on the Petersburg Lines : Co's G, A, B, I, L and MI, at Broadway Landing, Va. dier, the Company a valuable member, one who was ever at his post, always ready to do bis duty, who was beloved by all his comrades, and who F, D and HI, on the Bermuda Hundred Live, and Co.

many of the men are pretty well worn out, owing to the stendy fighting.


Our losses during the late fights, have been -light. Hoping that this war may soon be brought to an honorable and speedy close, I romain,


Very Respectfully,


Your Obedient Servant, W. F. SAGE, Ord. Office, Siege Art'y.


THE SECOND HEAVY ARTILLEY, has won added


eagerly, the details from our correspondent. We shall long remember the pleasure experienced a few days since, in grasping the hand of their effi. cieut veteran Chaplain, W. II Phelps.


THE FIRST LIGHT BATTERY, is probably at or near Richmond. We have no specifie news from them.


THE THIRD HEAVY BATTERY, was, at last intelli- genee, at City Point.


THE 5TH AND 20TH REGIMENTS were hotly en- gaged at the battle of Bentonville, and as a mat- ter-of-coursse, won a splendid victory. Sher- man's mea fight to win. There is yet no detailed account of the engagement. The loss of the 20th is quite severe. Official lists are not yet received.


THE 6TH AND 7TH are with Gen. Terry at Golds- boro or beyond. They are in good trim, saucy, aud confident of speedy triumph.


The death of Chaplain Eaton is sincerely mourned, by officers and men. No person ever gave himself more fully and freely than he for his country.


THE STH, 11TH AND 21ST REGIMENTS now in the 3d Division, 24th A. C., still remain North of the James, and are at or near Rielninond.


THE 10TH REGIMENT, being in the 2d Division, 24th Corps is on the left, but there is yet no news that they have suffered in the great final figlit.


THE 9TH BATTALION is of course, quietly at Sa- vannah.


THE 12TH AND 13r BATTALIONS and the 18Tu REGT. are with Hancock in the Valley-not far now from Winehester. There is some skirmish- ing but will be no severe fight in that department.


THE 14TH REGIMENT has, with the veteran 2d Corps, taken a prominent part in the late advance. escaped injury. He was said to be the first man | As usual, it has suffered loss of brave officers and men. The boys will now have time to tell their own story-their stern work is almost doue.


THE FIFTEENTH has had a somewhat varied ex- perience. At Kinston, they fought as long as men could fight against overwhelming forces. The losses in killed and wounded were severe. The greater part of the regimeut was captured, sent to Richmond, immediately paroled, and are now enjoying their thirty days' furlongh in the State. Many of the men had hoped to receive furlonghs for the purpose of voting. The order to the front seemed decidedly to preclude that arrangement. As they were rather sullenly marching from the city some oue is said to have called out, " Ilallo, 15th, where are you going ?" " Going." was the gruff reply-" going home, by way of Richmond, to vote."


A shrewd Yankee was that soldier, for on elec- tion day hundreds of the boys of the 15th, hav- ing come by way of Richmond, deposited their ballots in the boxes in their native towns.


We shall attempt no account of the battle and imprisonment, because we are promised for the May number a full account of the varied experi- ence of the regiment.


The fragment of the regiment numbering less than three hundred men, are doing Provost duty at Kiaston.


The 16Th REGIMENT, has been transferred from Roanoke I-land to Newbera. The regiment will probably be soon re-organized and ready for Inty. Nearly all its members are now at liberty, The 17Th REGIMENT is still on the Florida eoast. No news of importance from them.


ORGANIZATIONS not mentioned are represented praise from all its superior officers. We await |in the Army Correspondeuce.

THE CONNECTICUT WAR RECORD.


[APRIL, 1865.]


EDITORIAL COLUMN.


THE REBELLION IS CRUSHED !


" Blessed be the Lord God of Israel: for he hath visited and redeemed his people."


Fadeless honor and measureless gratitude to the heroic men who have achieved the stupen- dons triumph.


. "Now cheer for the Past with its glory; For the victorious Present hurrah ;


And shout for the Starry-browed Future, With Virtne and Freedom und Law. North and South, East and West, all unfurling One Banner alone on the Sod;


One voice from AMERICA Swelling,


IN WORSHIP OF LIBERTY'S GOD !"


We are glad to feel that the end of our WAR RECORD is near. We hope in a few more nam- bers to remedy some defects, supply deficiencies, and, as well as onr circumstances and ability will permit, finish our self-imposed task. None ean be more eager than we to see the last number issued.


The incompleteness of the present number is very unsatisfactory to us. We are compelled to go to press just after the grandest events of any age have transpired, and just before details have been officially and accurately promulgated.


From the 11th Regiment.


Just received. Hurrah for our Veteran Volunteers. 11TH CONN. VETERAN VOLUNTEES, RICHMOND, VA., April 3, 1865. 5


DEAR EDITOR :- The Eleventh has the good fortune to be in Rielmond. We claim the honor of marching well, if we did not fight. At the break of day our pickets felt of the rebel line confronting us, and found the works there, but not the enemy. We now packed up and in ex- pectation, and soon began the advance on the New Market Road. It was "ou to Richmond," indeed, and on the double quick. The lions were ont of the way; the dogs of war were there, but dumb. We are not in the habit of running in battle, but we now did our best and I think the first State Flag in Rielmond was the " Qui Trans tulit Sustinet," of the Eleventh. This First ( Bre- vet Brig. Gen. Ripley's) Brigade of Gen. Devon's Division, 24th Corps, was first in Richmond, and have been assigned to Provost duty.


Our reception was grander and more exnltant than even Roman Emperor, leading back huis vie- torions legions, with the spoils of conquest could ever know. We brought Government, Order and Heaven born Liberty. The Lives seemed to think that the day of jubilee had fully come. How they danced, shouted, waved their rag ban- ners, shook our hands, bowed, scraped, langhed all over, and thanked God, too, for our coming. Many heroes have fought for thus day and died without the sight. The heroes of this battle are those who broke the rebel lines yesterday, and forced her to send a telegram to Jeff. Davis, which cut short his devotions, and called him out of elinreh to begin his flight. But by the fortunes of war we ure permitted to see and feel the long expected day. It is a day never to be forgotten by us, till days shall be no inore.


Our first work was to prevent pillage, and put out the rebel fires. They are a mean bird. Before they flew away, they fouled their own nest.


The regiment is scattered in all parts of the city. Headquarters are on the grass iu Capitol f ing Irons and Angers.
