D0-The telegram which we gave in OUT last; announcing the death of Lieut.. H NJ. Dutton, in the fight near 'Culpepper, Va, after beinp eentradicted several times, is at last verified only too certainly. Further particulars received hy the Iieutenant's family friends, inform them that he vas, killed while cheering on his men, in the Acs of a battery of the enemy, and while it was only too sure that to attempt it's capture would be death to the gallant man. Yet in strict obedience of onlers Lieutenant Dutton ral lied his men and led .hem directly into the jaws Of death, as cool and collected as if he and they were on dress parade, and met his fate without agroan ora struggle. His was the first life that has been quenched in battle from among the many who have gone forth from this town to Hgbt tor their country. His the brave and he Eo'c sacrifice which first brings nearer home to ue the bcsrors and heart-rendering of this wick. a war. Surely his life, so pure and manly, his devotion to his country, so ardent and sacred. bis noble martyrdom. so sad yet so triumphant wtll nerve anew every heart and brain that 20 ksnos fraTa our communities to fill his place and ths broken ranks of his comrades

GoV. Andrew made speech at the Martha,

Gov. Andrew made speech at the Martba,s vineyard camp meeting la week, in the course of which, he said
 He was not supersiitious, but he could not fail to recognize the fact, that from the dav that the government turned its back on inc proclamation of General Hunter, the fortunes of war had turned against us. Till that day, aid or againstit, God has determined to sslet the people go" But he had faith in the suc- cess of the issue. He could not think that the prayers, tears, labors of the fathers were to be all lost -

NEW M1LFoRD.-A sad accident occurred here on saturday last, by which MT. Marshall Marsh, lost bright little boy of five Years, and anoth- CT of was so severely burned that his recovery is considered very uncertain. It seems that the two boys' Tn company with one belonging to Mr. Shultz, were preparing to roast corn in tbatcb. ed cabin near the Housatonic. when they acci- aentally set the straw on fire near the door, sbnt ing of the means of escape. The Shul,z boy being outside worked hole through the cabin and succeeded in getting the boys out through it, but not until they were so badly burned that the youngest only survived Gys hours after the accident.

 HARwINroN.-One of the few Secessionists I Harwinton. named Ralph c. Bartholomew, who applied for certificate and somehow didn't get 1t, and who then swore that if he should be drafted. they would have to take him over seve ral dead bodies, has la tely thought better of it. and - skedaddled to parts unknown. A reward of 3 cents is offered for his recovery and return, by the people of Harwinton. It would be rather unsafe for him to- come back, in case he should be drafted, as he would by law be sub Ject to the penalties of deserted soldier.
 = Harwinton has enrolled just le0 men-has 70 certiieated individuals, and has sent 30 oi her best boys into the Litch6eld County Regi. ment. Three cheers for old Harwinton

LrrcHrIELD.-We congratulate the good old town upon the noble company of men it has sent into camp from this town. We may well be proud of the manly appearance, the gallant mein and the stout courage which this body of men bring to the performance of their noble duty. We know of the great personal sacrifices many of them make in going to the war, and of the many family and social ties which are sun- dered by their going and yet we believe there is not one among them all who does not take with him the heartiest God speed, though they come from bleeding hearts. If all the other towns in the county do as well, we shall have a regiment second to none which has left Con. necticut, s.-... ......

A late Richmond paper says {:

"The Yankees are preparing for another des, perate effort to capture the city of Richmond, and we may as well make up our minds to meet the issues fairly and squarely. Their chief de- monstration, despite all feints in other direc- tions, is no doubt to be made from Fredericks- burg and the Rappahannock as base. But it is not improbable that what they call their mor- tar fleet is to second the principal movement by an attack upon Drury's Bluff. Certain it is that the mortar fleet has arrived in the James river ; and it is equally certain that it can render no of the year, except by ferocous assault upon our works at Drury's Bluff. But for the barri- cade that was inserted in the river at that point in the early part of May last, Richmond would have been surrendered to the enemy's fleet on the l7th of that month and the Confederate government would have been ekirg out migra- tory existance in some of the upper districts probably Raleigh, the Company Shops, or Flat Rock-in one or the other ot the two Caro. linas."
 The petition of the people of the rebel States to the rebel Congress against the rebel conseript law is interesting. The petitioners state they wish ito fight as freemen in the army of free men ;" but ito preserve sacred their birthright- individual personal liberty under their respec-
 
 sacrifice everything but their honor and manhood. They say the Conscript law is "a plain palpabe dangerous infraction of vested rights" and they wish to know whether ''the people are free or the Executive supreme" They also make an implied threat when they say their inquiries 'are no idle GU cstions."
 AN arrangement has been effected by which Beriah Magofin has resigned the governorshir of Kentucky, and John F. Fiske the speaker. ship Of the Senate of that state, and James F Robinson has been elected to fill the office va cated by Ar. Fiske, thus making him acting-gov ernor. He is also made acting president of the Military Board by the resignation of John B Temple the former incumbent. Matt Johnson has been elected Secretary of State. Both he and Robinson are staunch Union men.

Yesterday morning they reached Washington, accompanied by Adjutant General Thomas.
