 We also learn that Maj. Wm. B. Els, of Plymouth formerly Captain of Co. D, was se- riously wounded, probably in the battle of Friday.
 About week previous to the above fight, the Regiment made a raid upon the Virginia Central Rail Road, in which Major James O. Rice of Goshen, was wounded bya musket ball in the leg, from the rife of sharp shooter. Henry Colby, private, also of Go- shen, was shot Tn the hand, and Charles G.. Adams of Goshen, had his leg broken in two places, by the fall of bar of iron from the railroad track, while he was at work in Q culvert.
 We learn that the 2d Artillery acting as infantry only for thirty days.
 THE JUDGEsH1P.-The Union members of the Legislature held stormy caucus on Wednesday night of last week, at which the question of the Supreme Court Judgeship came up, and an informal ballot was taken, amid much confusion, with the following result :-
 John D. Park, of Norwich, 23.
 Dwight Looms, of Holland, 20.
 II. K. w. White, of Hartford 20.
 G. H. Hollister, of Litchfeld, l6.
 John Hooker, of Hartford. 6.
 Gideon Hall, of Winchester, 5.
 Scattering, 5
 This result would seem to foreshadow the election of Judge Park to the Supreme Bench, and Messrs. White or Loomis to the Superior Bench, either of whom would make an excel lent Judge.
 The Litchfield County delegation at meet ing held on Wednesday, unanimously named Gideon Hall, Esq.,, of Winsted for the vacant position. There appears to be more 7" log rolling" for this office of Judge than any oth- CT in the gift of the Legislature, which is in itself an all sufficient reason why the Legisla turs should make choice of some one whose accession to to the office is not sought through such disgraceful means.
 We presume another caucus will be held this week.
