At Home: We are pleased to see amongst us, now and then, some of the brave soldier boys who have fought well and gallantly for their country, and are glad when their appearance shows them to be in good health and spirits. Lieut. Geo. A. Colton of the 144th (Delaware County) Regiment, came home on a short visit to his parents last week, and the evidence of good condition which he carries about are pleasing to all who know him. He was sent to Elmira to receive about two hundred drafted men to fill up his regiment, and while waiting for these, was given a furlough to visit his home. George says the universal feeling in the army in regard to the riot in New York, was that every Copperhead in the North should be bayoneted. One universal wish was expressed for a chance to get at them.

WISWELL: In the Hospital at Brashear City, June 1, 1863, of chronic diarrhea, Mr. Thomas S. Wiswell, Co. B, 114th Regiment, aged 53 years. In August 1862, when the call was made for volunteers, Mr. Wiswell, not fearing the draft, but like many others out of pure love to his country, volunteered to go and maintain its honor, and help roll back the murderous hosts which were gathering for its destruction. His chief desire appeared to be to engage the enemy and do his country a service, but this boon was denied him. He was taken with disease and died before he had the privilege of showing valor on the field of battle. He leaves a wife and number of children--one of the number, his next youngest son is in the army--to mourn his departure. May a kind providence smile on the widow and fatherless children.

We find in the Peoria, (Ill.)Transcript the melancholy announcement of the death of Rev. H. Doane, formerly pastor of the Congregational Church in this village. This sad news will cause mourning in many hearts here, for he was well known and loved by many, best loved by those who knew him best. He died on the field of his usefulness, died, as we know he wished to die, in the very midst of the labor to which he had devoted his life.
"Died on the United States Hospital boat, near Vicksburg, on the 23d ult., The Rev. H. Doane, recently chaplain of the 17th Ill. regiment, and late city missionary in this city, aged fifty-seven years. In the death of Mr. Doane, his regiment sustains a loss not only of a true chaplain, but a friend and companion, one who sympathized in all the hardships of a soldier's experience, and was ever ready to extend a helping hand to relieve the wants and necessities of the afflicted, and point the mind of the soldier to the higher and nobler life in Christ Jesus. Mr. Doane was the soldier's friend and for him and his country has laid down his life As a pastor he was not excelled, ever being and walking in the faith of his great master, whom he most devoutly loved and faithfully served. As city missionary in this city during the year 1862, Mr. Doane labored with zeal and faithfulness and many hearts were made glad by his words of love and gospel truth, and the seed sown by him in his missionary labors here will still bear testimony of his faithfulness and apostolic zeal. He leaves a devoted wife and several children to mourn his loss, as well as a large number of friends in this city."

When the call was made for volunteers in 1862 he responded and went, hoping to be of service in checking the fratricidal hosts which were gathering for the purpose of destroying the government which had so long nourished them. His hopes were however blighted by sickness. He was taken sick while his Regiment was at Fortress Monroe from which he never fully recovered, but lingered in feebleness more or less till he died. His letters to his wife and friends breathed the spirit of the Christian patriot. He sleeps with the brave who have fallen victims and martyrs for their country. He leaves a wife and numerous friends to mourn his early departure.

He was admitted to practice in all the Courts of this state upon motion of his old friend Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson at the General Term of the Supreme Court, at Binghamton in the year 1851, and continued the practice of law until his failing health compelled him to withdraw from the active and exciting pursuits of his profession. At the time of his decease he was a member of the Baptist Church and had been for 29? years. Ability, integrity and purity were his characteristics in all the relations of life. He was a consistent Christian, a kind husband, and an affectionate father and was beloved by all who knew him. As his earthly pilgrimage drew near its close he looked back upon a life well spent, and died without regret, regretted by all. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of his fellow citizens and he has left a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
