10th N.Y. Cavalry: Harris Daniels of this village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], of the 10th N.Y. Cavalry, was wounded in the late engagement. We also learn that Patrick Ganley and four others of the same Regiment, recently ventured too far from our lines in watering their horses, and were surrounded, and captured by the rebels. They were put under guard, but succeeded in escaping within our lines, with the loss of their horses. The rebels stripped them of all their valuables, but Patrick Ganley kept his watch by suspending it down the leg of his pantaloons, and also secured his purse by the exercise of a little ready Irish wit.

In the Hospital At Winchester, Va., on the night of the 3d of Oct., Lieut. O.J. Aylesworth, of Co. H, 114th Reg. from the effects of a wound in the head, received in the battle of Sept. 19th. The hopes which buoyed up the soldier when he wrote home to his wife, "that he should be in the field again in a few days," were delusive, and he is at rest. He had, like Lieut. Breed, given his life to his country, and to the last he was watched with more than brotherly tenderness and devotion by Serg't Hemingway, whose valor in the deadly contest, is only equaled by his care for the wounded and suffering. Lieut. A. leaves a bright record as a soldier, and we are confident, that his widow and fatherless children will receive the earnest sympathy they deserve in this hour of affliction and sorrow.

Mr. Samuel Manworing, of Co. E, 89th N.Y. Vols. Just as his term of service was completed, and he was looking forward to his reunion with family and friends, this brave soldier was taken to the better home. Sad indeed are such partings, but if there is one thing more, than another, which can console the bereaved wife, it is the remembrance that such men have not died in vain. May "He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb," comfort the widow, and her fatherless flock.

Death of John T. Adams: A correspondent give us in the following letter the sad tidings of the death of John T. Adams, of this village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], a worthy member of Co. K, 10th N.Y. Cavalry.
Dear Times: I have the painful duty to report that John T Adams, of Co. K, 10th N.Y. Cavalry, was killed in the engagement of Oct. 27th near Stony Creek, Va. He was shot through the breast, while the enemy were making a charge, killing him instantly. But by the courage and manly efforts of H.O. Daniels, he was removed form the field and his remains respectfully interred. he was a brave and good soldier, and our country has lost one of her noblest sons; our cause one of its most devoted defenders. We as a company tender our sympathy to the family and friends of the deceased, and with them we do deeply mourn our loss.,
