The brave and Iamenled Colonel
Truman B. Ransom,

Our readers were last week apprised OF
the death of this gallant officer, who fell
in the battle Of Chapultepec and The par
tculars arc so fully stated IN another
place, that we need not go into a detail.
COL Ransom was native Of this town,
and was as years old. lie held the com
mission Of Maj. General in the state mill
tia when he entered the U. S. Army has
been a candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, and was last year the democratic
candidate for Lieut.. Governor of this state.
He leaves wife and four children, the
eldest is now at West Point.
In every respect Col. r. was n self
made man. lie commenced his pupiage
under Capt Partridge, and possessing natu.
rally military spirit, his favorile study
and profession was the science of war To
handsome and commanding figure,
which seemed expressly formed tor the
dignifed and exalted station of a soldier,
he added the most agreeable manners-a
mind intelligent and elevated and court.
esy that won the hearts OF all who knew
HIM. From an intimacy with him as a
teacher and military instructor we found
him TO be superior discIpinarian and an
ardent ard devoted friend.
Yet he has fallen in his career of USE
fulness, and well may New England mourn
