NEW PREsToN.-SHocKING HoMIcIpE.-On Saturday last, 4th. inst, in an afray between Sherman Cogswel of New Preston and hired man of Charles Cogswell, by the name of John Jacobs, the latter was so fatally injured by two blows of a crow-bar upon his head, that he died on Sunday morning, the 5th, having survived about P hours after the injury.
 The following particulars of the affray have reached us: Young Cogswel and Jacobs were at work together upon New Preston Hill, en- gagged in excavating an. old hearth-stone, near the stone church, when discussion arose be- tween them in relation to some fence-bars which Jacobs had left down upon entering the field ,Cogswell told him to put them up, which he re. fused to do; upon which igh words rose, which was followed by blows. Cogswel finally got away the -crow-bar which Jacobs vas usipg, and put 1t behind him, when Jacobs again attacked him, and he defended himself with his bar, striking Jacobs twice upon the side of his head, causing him to fall instantly, but not termina- ting life. Jacobs skull was not broken, but death ensued from congestion of the brain, con, sequent upon the blows received, on Sunday, as stated above q. isa.t- r -a4 .asas ....a
 On Sunday. Jury of Inquest was called, and while in session, Cogswell was arrested. The verdict of the Jury was, that :" deceased came to his deathtb by blows upon, the head inflicted by Sherman Cogswell." The trial of Cogswell be- Gore Justice O.. O.. Lemon, Esq, and four other Justices, resulted, afssr two days session, in re- quiring yCogsweii to give bonds in the sum of i$S'oOO.fof his appearance for trial before the November term of the Superior Court.

aaS We have, heretofore ehroniced the death of William H. Atkins of the 10th Massachu- setts Regiment, who died at a hospital in Phia- delphia in August last from a wound received at the battle of Malvern Hill, before Richmond, July l, 1862. Young Atkins was well known in Bethlem in this county, where his relatives resided, and desired to enlist in Lieut. Wells Company in the 18th Regiment, which went from this county. He afterwards, however, en- listed in Westfeld, (nlass.) Company, and re- ceved his wound, ..as we have stated, at the ter rible charge of Mclvern Hill. The Westfeld Neaes Letter. speaking of him, says:
 "In attempting to crawl off when wounded, he had taken the wrong direction, was second time struck and teil into rebel hands, had twics suffered amputation, and many times wanted food and care. A dear friend was sent to him with swelling hearts and kind remembrances we bid her God speed on her way. She was per. .mitted to smooth his dying pillow and receive his last words and message; they were, tell my father and mother have tried to be good boy, a prayer to the Lord Jesus to receive him, trust
 ing in him that all was well. Hewas asked If willing to die. He opened his eyes, and turned them full upon his friend, and lovingly nodded his head slightly, and was gone. So sleep the brave P' Lla L!lafs ,fa,... -...,.u... E.. ~ { TIE WAY TO MEET Tive have repeated ly expressed the opinion that the only safe course for the friends of the Union is boldly to sustain the Presidents proclamation, and make it the issue Letus see if the anti-Union party dare ask the intelligent people to go for slavery as against the Union. In Missouri emancipation clubs are being formed. The Democrat (st. Louis) takes hold of the work Gn slave state, remember i'll the right spirit: "We should meet the issue as boldly as it is rendered. We should avow ourselves at once as emancipationists. We should write the word Emancipation on our banners ; we should place
 it at the head of our tickets; we should inscribe I it everywhere as the name under which we will rally, and under which we will fght. We should not shirk the challenge, nor seem to seek | to do so, by the adoption of meaningless names, or the presentation of subordinate issues, for | the sake of temporary expedient, or out of fa- voritism to particular individuals. The Presi- dent has shunned no responsibility and no odi- um. He has sought only to be true to the occa- sion. Those who would sustain his action ca n | only do so efficiently by being equally true to l the principle. If we intend to support him at all we should do so ungrudgingy and unreserv- edly., The avoidance of the direct issue can on
 ly be construed into evidence of covert hostility
 In the choice ot candidates particularly, we l should give our support only to men who arr
 known from sentiment to be in favor of the 1 Presidents policy" ''t ..s'+

Inc while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles-
1FiouEh heaven alone records tho toar,
And lame shall never know her story,
her heart shall shed drops as dear
As e'er bedewed the field Of glory

Mid little ones who weep or WONDER
And bravely speaks tho cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to head
The bolts Of death around him rattle
Has shed a9 sacred blood as o'or

While 70 her breast her son she presses
Then breathes few brave words and brief
