The Dead Heroes of the Con-
necticut 5th.-—We find the following
tribute to two gallant officers of the Connec-
- ticut 5th in the'New Haven Palladium :—
fleieutenant'Henrng. Dutton, son of ex-
Gove‘rnor Dutton, of this city, is reported
among the slain in the late battle. He grad-
uated at Yale in the Class of 1857, and was
esteemed by his classmates as a good scholar
and a faithful friend. After graduating, he
studied law, and practised for a while at
Middletown, and subsequently at Litchfield.
When the war came on, he volunteered, was -
commissioned as a Lieutenant, and has been
with the 5th ever since its formation. He
died on the battle-field fighting bravely.
Our own sorrowat losing a classmate and
friend cannot find fitting words for expres-
sion. _ To his bereaved parents we o'er our
most heart-felt sympathy.
Mason BLAKE—We have waited anx-
iously to learn the fate of Major Edward W.
Blake, of this city. We fear that he, too, is
among the slain in the late battle. 'But a
little more than a week since, he was among _
us, in the vigor of health, and manifesting
the same enthusiasm in the war that he did
in everything he undertook. He was a gen-
erous, brave, whole-souied man, and if it be
indeed true that he has fallen, our country
has lost one of the noblmt spirits that have
yet been offered on the altar of patriotism.
May God comfort the stricken friends.
We find the following further tribute in
I. the Evening Post to Major Blake :—
_ To the Editors of the Evening Pbst :—
Major Edward Foster Blake, who is re-
gorted to have been slain at the battle of
laughter’s Mountain, after “attracting much
attention by his braVery,” was a son of Mr.
Eli W. Bla a much tespected citizen of
New Haven. ajor Blair was about twent .
six years of age and was a graduate of Ya e
College of the Class of 1858. He was always
distinguished, even when a boy, for his ac-
tivity, energy, erseveranoe, faithfillness,
generosity,. uni orm amiability, and all
manlyquaiities. ;
_ We, who knew him, loved him as: re-
spected him as few men ever loved and re«
spected, and'there are hundreds who will
mourn him as a brother.
A kinder friend, a nobler man, a braver
soldier, or a purer patriot, has not died for
his country since the war began.
He was appointed Adjutant of the 5th
Regiment Connecticut Volunteers last an-
' umn, and served with great honor in his
,egim'ent and on the staff of Brigadier-Gen-
.ral Crawford. In the retreat of General
Banks from Winchester, he was distin-
. guished' for the care he took of his men;
I
re'ccting. his horse, which had become
. frightened, he disdained to lose; an of his
own equipments,» but carrying lilau st and
overcoat, wearing full uniform, jack-boots,
sword and riding glo'ves,_he marched with
the soldiers, cheering them with his bright
example and encouraging words, and win-
ning new encomiums by sending his report
of the march to headquarters early the next
morning.
Soon afterwards he was promoted Major,
and sent with some des atches to Governor
Buckingham. He was t us enabled to meet
his friends, for the last time, at the recent
Yale Commencement. and while there he
urged the prosecution of the war with all
energy, so ing that young men of intelli-
gence an faithfulness ought to join the
army, for that they were needed, and could
do well. He rejoined his regiment a few
days before the battle, where he has nobl
and brave] set the seal of the atriots
death to a life of manly honor and C lristian
virtue. . D. C. E.
It is probable, we think, that Licut. Col.
Stone and Major Blake are killed. Lieut.
Chinery, of Norwalk, is captured, and his
arrival at Richmond is chronicled with that
of Col. Chapman. Sefgeant Wm. Ambler,
also of this town, is undoubtedly a captive.
Ed. Gilbert, of our Norwalk Company, is
missing, and it is feared is dead. Owen
Murphy was badly wounded, and is at
: the Alexandria Hospital. John Leggett, of
Westport, is wounded. Elijah Jones, of Wil-
ton, the tall and soldierly color-bearer, was
shot down with the colors in his hand.»
Corporal Oliver S. Brady, was shot through
the neck, and is reported to have died in»
stantly. All the rest of our boys seem to
have escaped, some most miraculously.—
' Young Wm. Merrill had a bullet through
his pants, but not touching his skin. It was
a terrific battle, and sauna correspondent Collector; 103“ E El!- “ Norwich, 5" .
affirms, the “boys of the Ct. 5th stood their
ground like the old Guard at Waterloo."
Many will're'member the soldierly mien of
Color-sergeant Jones. Holeaves a wife and
one child in Wilton, we believe, and leaves

'blow for his country." He did strike right
valiantly, and fell in the noblest contest

the young warrior wear the Victor’s crown.

The whole of our old and rural town has
been unusually. excited during the past
wedk.‘ Long before the town meeting, about
a week ago, where the large bounty, already
noticed in the Gazette, was offered, some of
the most prominent and respectable of our
townspeople expressed their determination
to respond to the call of the country. Feel-
ing that the present is a struggle not ,so
much for the subjection of the rebels, as for
the very existence of the nation, many have
been anxiously inquiring and debating whe-
- ther they Iwere not able to take their places
As the time specified for the draft'ap‘
preached, nearly sixty of our most able 'and
respectable. citizens have come forward and
taken the oath” to Mg up, without
a draft, the whole quota of our town for the
six hundred thousand. There are, indeed, a
few—as in other townse-who,‘considerin'g'
personal sefety'and ease and comfort dearer
to them than truth, Justice,-houor and coun-
try, have, pulled out their teeth, maimed
their fingers, got up maladies appropriate to
the emergency, runoff to Europe, Sta—and
now 'they have the satisfaction, of feeling
that they have merely proclaimed their cow,-

If they had only possessed sulcient cour-

Tho Anjifdrican people are so much in the
habit. orienting to the political effect of the
preacutiityar, that they altogether forget its
moral" ufluence on the destiny and the fate
of nit-”union, and am they 'ar'é‘sr the godfa-
cst and most magnificent character. There
is certainly something far more important
than' commerce, navigation, manufactures,
b, V or niggcrism involved in the fortunes
of ur country and glorious union. It is the
moral welfare and destiny of present and fu-
ture millionsof human beings yet unborn.
Patriotism is both a political and religious
duty; no man can be achristian that is not a
patriot. A patriot loves hiscountrv and will
sacrifice to, her success and welfare, with as
much ardor as he does to his soul’s salvation;
any thing that checks her progress, destroys
her = peace .or‘ interrupts". her happiness, the
patriot looks on with the same abhorrence as
did the angels of '.Heaven the arch destroyer
of their peace when he rebelled against the
l throne of God.‘ . For his country he lives, and
for his country he'w0uld die. Let us remem-
ber and foster that, remembrance all times to
come, that patriotism in a‘republic is a purer.
virtue and 'a- higher duty than in a monarchy,
.olig‘archy br aristocracy. Man‘was created
by God in his own image, with .a soul as im-
mortal as bis,creator_,.wi_th aspirationsas high
as immortality, with thoughts that cannot
die, that wander through vast eternity, and
" from 'Gdd' he received the rig‘h‘t'n‘nd ‘power to
governments "Alli'governinentsith'en, save

the will of, ,God from the people, are. filegal

not countenance obedience to any such,“

purest patriot that has ever lived in the

ed, constituting a league with, Heaven—the
greatest climax attained in 'human- govern-
ment since the beginning of the world, and
upon which panegyrics have been bestowed
freely by all the intellecta of the age since its
creation. Deserving of repetition, it is the
best government in the world, because it
leaves‘ the mind unfettered and gives it its
largest development; it leaves all the citizens
to follow that mode of life most congenial to
their taste, feelings and happiness; itexcltes
a laudable ambition lathe minds of all, and
allows the humblest a reasonable hope of'
' ‘ reaching the most honorable andreiponsible

should volunteer for the war, until the first
of September next, ,
A bounty of $150 was offered for every
resident who should volunteer for nine
months in lieu of the draft, and a bounty to
the family of such velunte‘er ‘of the same
amount asthat offered by this State tothe
families of volunteers, and to be paid to said
families under the Stateregulations, as fill'

came into this town and enlisted as residalts,

Whereas, The President of these United
States-has deemed it necessary, in this hour
of our country’s peril, to call for a draft on
our patriotic young men to come forth in her
defence; :and as it appears that at this crit-
ical moment a fearful epidemic has suddenly
made its appearance in this town, crushing
down and rendering helpless a large class,
many of whom have hitherto been consid
ered as among the most hale and athletic,
but who have now been pronounced by the
skillful, and far-seeing Surgeon appointed

thoroug personal . abomination, .es utterlyin—

the true name for the contemptible fellows
who are taking such pains to escape the draft
is poltroons. The word was originally made
up from two Latin words signifying deprived
of the thumb. Cowards, in old English times,
'used‘to cut ofi‘ their right thumbs to disable
themselves from drawing'the bow, and thus
escape going to the wars. Thus they got the
name of poltroons. The men who now resort
to as mean shifts to get rid of war service are
