The New Orleans mails bring intelligence of the recent death of George Ballou of Co. B, of the 114th Regiment, N.Y. Volunteers. When the 89th, N.Y. Regiment was forming in 1861, Mr. Ballou, then a merchant's clerk in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], enlisted therein and was efficient in organizing the Company E, commanded by Captain Guernsey. Upon nomination by the company, Mr. Ballou was commissioned its 1st Lieutenant. He went with his Regiment to Hatteras and Roanoke sharing in their trials and perils and always proving himself a capital officer. In the Spring of 1862, in an excited interview with his Colonel when both had been indulging in undue conviviality, Lieut. Ballou threatened to chastise him with his sword for some real or supposed word of insult. For this rashness, forbidden by the articles of war, he was of course dismissed from the service by the judgment of the Court Martial. He immediately returned home without uttering a murmur or complaint, and enjoyed a brief rest until the President's call for volunteers in July. He at once enlisted with eagerness as a private in Co. B of the 114th Regiment then raising. He was promptly made Orderly Sergeant and in that capacity rendered essential service in drilling and disciplining both officers and men in military tactics. Accompanying the Regiment to Louisiana he was wounded in the knee in the fight with the rebels in the Teche Expedition and the wound proved incurable. His gallant behavior in action was attested by his Captain and Colonel. Lieut. Ballou's nature was genial and kindly, and he was well-beloved by men and officers. His military talent was good and his courage unquestioned. Respect for his patriotism and bravery induced our prominent citizens to voluntarily petition the President to remit the usual disqualifying clause of the sentence of the Court Martial. in order that he might be promoted in accordance with his merits. This application was warmly seconded by Col. Miller the Member of Congress from this District who was bringing it to the notice of the Department with every assurance of success when the death of Mr. Ballou intervened. He is now insensible alike to human favor or frown. Lieut. Ballou was the nephew of Dennis Ballou, Esq. of Plymouth, and was about 26 years of age. "He died for his country."
