Capt. Tillson:  This young and gallant officer, whose right arm was shot away at the late battle of Sabine Cross Roads, in Louisiana, is now on a visit to his friends in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY].  It is his intention as soon as his wound is thoroughly healed, to rejoin his regiment, the 161st, which still remains in Louisiana.  the pluck which he manifests, and has displayed on all occasions in face of this enemy, is deserving of the highest praise.

Taken Prisoner: We regret to learn, as we do through a letter received by Gen. Levi Harris from Capt. Vaughan, that Lieut. W.H. Conover, of Capt. Vaughan's Company, 22d Cavalry, has been taken prisoner by the rebels.  he was ordered, about the 10th of this month, to take a small force and make a reconnaissance towards (we believe) James river. The party were attacked by the rebels in doing so, and Lieut, Conover's horse shot from under him. The horse fell upon the Lieutenant's leg, holding him to the ground. The rest of the boys escaped, but Conover was left behind.  His comrades first thought him killed, but information subsequently obtained from rebel officers showed that he was uninjured, except by the fall of his horse, which bruised him slightly. The rebel officers said that he would be well treated while a prisoner. We regret the young lieutenant's mishap exceedingly, and wish him a speedy and safe deliverance.  Capt. Vaughan speaks of him in high terms as an officer.
