NEW MILroRD.-We have to record this week, with the deepest and most unfsigned sorrow, the decease of Hon. David c. Sanford, Justice of the Supreme Court of Errors, who died at his residence in New Milford, at 1OS o'clock Tuesday morning. aged 66. Judge Sanford was taken i'll with lung fever on Sat urday week, and after severe illness of four or five days, was thought to have passed the crisis of the disease and out of immediate dan ger. The fever was subdued, leaving him, however, so exhausted that congestion finally ensued, and he died as above stated.
 Judge Sanford was one of the ablest Judges that has ever graced and dignifed our ghest Court, and his loss will be severely felt by the bar throughout the state and country. In private life he was one of the purest and noblest of men. Illustrating in his daily walk and conversation the highest type of the Christian scholar and gentleman. His funeral services will be held ct New Milford to-mor- row (Friday) afternoon.

OUR ARMY CoRREsPoNDENT.-Our readers will observe the spirited narrative of the late great battles in Virginia, from tho pen of our Army Correspondent, in another column. It is the third of the series recently forwarded us by him, which will be continued while the war lasts. It is due alike to our correspondent and to ourselves, that we should give his name to our readers. and we give it the more cheer fully, as we have the pleasure of adding the following accoant of him, which appears as a special dispatch in the N. Y. Tribune of Tuesday.
 WAsu1s croS, Monday, May 9, 1864.
 The 1'tbune's messenger, who brought 70 the Government not only, but to the country, the first news of the great battles, was Henry E. Wing of Connecticut. He footed half of the distance in. and was frequently fired on by guerillas. He was totally used up pedestrian, this city-used up in everything but pluck.
 Mir. Bushnell of New Haven heard of his brave devotion to the paper that employed him and got up little presentation purse for hin of $50, which was given, with a presen. tation speech by Sam. Wilkeson. Then the newspaper men here, Mir. Painter of The Phik adelphia Inquirer, Mir. Reid of 7he Gncinna. h Gazette, Mir. Frank Henry of The ". F Times, Col Puleston of The Pennsylvanian and 1he Tribune, made up for the faithful man purse that would have been immensely heavier if they had been richer and gave it to him with letter which his grandchildren may be proud to show.
 We may add for ourselves, that Mir. Wing is native of Goshen in this county, and has proved his devotion to his country by former service in the field, as private in the 27th C.V.

HARwINrox.-Last Sabbath afternoon. Rev. Mir. Searle, of this place, preached an eloquen. sermon from the text, "Trust in the Lord, " ana Tn the course of his remarks he alluded to the fact that our armies were then probably engaged in deadly conflict, and netwithstand- ing the valor of our troops, both white and oolored, it was still necessary to trust in the Lord. At this point Ralph Bartholomew, a violent copperhead (who some time ego ske- daddled to avoid the Draft. and was advertis- ed offering three cents reward for him, march cd out Of the House, taking particular pains to make his Boots conspicuous. The last seen of him, he was driving furiously toward the south, and twas suggested whether he was not going to head of Grant by getting into Richmond first!

The Great Battles.

The great struggle in Virginia absorbs all our attention, and is the universal topic of the kOar. Oar readers will demand the fullest in teIEsence of the momentous battles. and we give ts it all of our available Space to the sx eiasioa Of Isss importan matter.
 We can only present a brief summary of the events which have transpired since our last in this place. leaving our readers to peruse the fuller details elsewhere. On Wednesdav in. sth of May. the Army of the Potomac began its onward movement, crossing the Rapidan ir sdireetion which brought it o the eastward o G=n- Lee, and upon the flank of his entrenched hr ss- On Tharsday. Lee attacked our ad VI nee impe'uOusly, hoping, evidently, to dss ur aPortiOn of Meades army before the re- mo finder could be brought up. A severe battle ea 1ned, in which we gained decided advan- ff e.and Lee was repulsed at all points.
 '0a Friday. the 9th. another battle took ph ee, Gen. Grant this time ordering the at H k, which continued from daybreak until late a the afternoon, and exceeded if possible in . 'erity the fight of the day before. Again e was forced of the field. and during the ! :ht was on the retreat with our victorious le- sns following him.
 Meanwhile, Gen. Butler began early on ednesday morning movement up the James
 aVer' in concert with a strong naval force un-
 FAdmirai Lee. Having made himself mas
 Fofthe river: and captured City Point, thirty
 UT miles from Richmond, and having Ian
 d his army, on Friday he advanced upon the
 itrOad connecting Petersburg with Rich
 ond' which he destroyed, though not without
 were fighting. We have also information.
 om the War office, of the occupation of
 redericksburgh by Butler, which leaves him
 'aster of the situation in that direction.
 Again, still third army is marching on Q Richmond" The force under Generals s;. gel and Averiil, which is said to have been dispatched up the Valley of the Shenandoah oSaris Staunton or Charlottesville, to cut tn line Of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad. will. in all probability, join Grant before Richmond; while still another heavy force was on its way South of Petersburg. to break up the railroads and roads by which Lee might draw re Inducements, or might endeavor to re- treat, through North Carolina.
 These different operations reveal sufficient of General Grants plans to show that his aim is to isolate Leo and Richmond, and if possible, to capture both. The news up to the hour we go to press is wholly favorable to our arms and cause. God grant that the vic- tory shall remain with us to the end

WooDRURY.-The barn of Doct. s. E. Fair child, near his residence on Main street, was destroyed by fire soon after nine o'clock on Friday night last. Loss about $4oO Origin of the fire not known, but believed to be the work of an incendiary. Two horses that were in the barn were rescued, not however till one of them was 80 much injured as to probably render him useless. The near proximity of the Methodist churah, and other buildings, at ono time, seemed to indicate serious confa- grafton, which undoubtedly would have occur red but for the stiffness of the night, and the efforts of our citizens. When our village has experienced sweeping fire, like that at New Milford, we shall probably awake to the i'm portance of having some better protection against the destroying element than the iso. lated water -pails of our kitchens.

FOURTH REPORT.

WAsHINGroN, Monday, May 9-2 A. M
 A dispatch received this evening by a dis tinguished member of the Cabinet, from For tress Monroe, states that Gen. Butler has suc- ceeded in destroying the railroad between Richmond and Petersburgh.
 No wounded from the front had arrived here up to half past one o'clock this morning. The Government, up to ten o'clock to night, had not received any particulars of Friday engagement. This is the report of those who made special inquiry.
 Three thousand of our wounded, whose in- Jurles are slight, are to be cared for where they now are, while the others are to be brought to Washington.
 THE FleHT.-The correspondent of the Times, says
 The lighting on Thursday and Friday were very severe, with skirmishing only on Satur- day. Lees first onset was made on our left. but failing, he then fell upon our centre, and finally upon our right, where the hardest con- test took place. Here the rebels charged up- on our lines twice, but were repulsed each tune with severe loss. Hancocks corns charged back twice, and at one time entered that portion of the enemys entrenchments commanded by A. P. Hill, but were at lenoth compelled to fall back. Seymour's division of Hancocks corps was badly cut Generals Wadsworth and Bartlett were badly wounded. the former having been knocked of his horse by spent mimic ball. The rebels were re- ported retreating yesterday morning. The number of wounded is reported at about ten thousand; the killed at two thousand. The loss Of the enemy exceeds this. He left his dead and disabled on the field, in our hands. The Ambulance Corps, with it's admirable or ganlzatlon, is working up to its full capacity, carrying the wounded to Rappahannock Sta ton. Sixteen trains of cars, dispatched from Alexandria to-day, will receive them. It is expecte that they will return, with their erused and mangled freight, about day light. Several carloads of ice were also sent down for the comfort of the wounded. The Sanita- " and Christian Commissions are on the field, with full force of assistants, and with plenti- ful supplies of everything necessary for the wounded.
 REsUME.-A correspondent of the Tribune thus sums up the situation up to Sunday:
 WASHINGTON, May 8, 1864.
 The Situation may be thus epitomized
 On Thursday the Army of the Potomac sustained successfully fierce attack from the bulk of Lee 8 army.
 On Friday we made the attack, drove them for some distance, took all their severely wounded prisoners, and won an indecisive vic- tory.
 On Saturday there was no fighting, and Lee was believed to be retiring.
 Such, stripped of the natural exaggeration of the exultant hour, is believed to be the most exact statement of the situation attaina- I,lo

Gen. SedSwick Killed

We received the following dispatch by Tele- graph, as we go to press:
 A severe battle on Monday-Gen. Sedgwick killed. Probably battle, Tuesday.
 Sherman fought severe battle, Monday. No particulars.
 Memphis advices state that, 'Fhe advance of General sturge's cavalry, 700 strong, with two pieces of artillery, encountered brigade Tenn, on the south side of the Hatchie river, lasting two hours, and resulting in the rebels being driven from their entrenekments, when they retreated across the river through Boli- var, destroying the bridge behind them. It is reported that Forest was present in the fight. He is beating rapid retreat into Mississippi. General Sturges is in hot pursuit. Our loss was killed and 10 wounded.
 THE EVACUATION OF WASHINGTON, N. G. The New York Heralds Newborn correspond ence of May lst, puts at rest the silly false hoods relative to losses at Washington, N. G., and which the Hartford IInaes seemingly gloated over. The letter says:
 "The town of Washington has been evacua. ted.-This step was dictated by strategic mo. lives, and is regarded as evincing able general. ship on the part of Gen. Palmer. Owing to precautionary steps taken by the General, the enemy received no intimation of this fact until all had been accomplished. This is beating them at their own game. The evacuation was complete success, and everything of value. comprising large quantity of artillery, ord nance, quartermaster and commissary stores was safely brought away. All the loyal citl- zens and their families, as well as all the he. groes, were likewise brought here, and that snas which is left behind will not afford the 4ehis much comfort. Owing to an accident S S'au,s sous was set on fire, and spreading, cauSeu sads soo to damage; but, vigorous efforts being maas @i1I bo bo arrest it, it is hoped but slight ioss VIII 'e oocasioned."
 The Connecticut troops connected with army ,,ovements going on in Virginia, are the 9th, 7tb % sth. IOt6, llth, and 2lst regiments, and tha ,e 1st Conn. Light Battery, with Gen. Butler snd sn the I4th regiment, batteries B, and M, lst fIa Heavy wy Artillery, and the lst Cavalry, with Gen. Grant.
