Death of Lieut. Burch
The battle of Cedar Creek, in the Shenandoah Valley, which was fought on the 19th ult. proved fatal to a large number of our best and bravest soldiers, but to none more deserving of a kind and honorable remembrance than Lieut. Isaac Burch, of Co. B, 114th Regiment N.Y. Volunteers. He was in command of the company, Capt. Bocker being absent; and though we have heard no particulars of his death, we venture to say that he fell manfully discharging his duty. He was the son of the late Doct. Russel B. Buch, of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], and was employed in this office, as a printer, for nearly five years previous to his enlistment. He went as a private; acted for some time as a clerk for Col. E.B. Smith; was promoted to Orderly Sergeant, and next to 2d and then 1st Lieutenant, in which last capacity he was serving at the time of his death. He was amiable, intelligent and honest; an excellent companion; a true friend; generous and warm hearted towards all around him; and in all respects one to exite the love and respect of his fellow men. We deeply deplore his fate.

Tribute to Lieut. L. W. Hatch
The officers of the 15th N.Y. Cavalry, at Cumberland, Md., have paid a feeling tribute of admiration and respect to Lieut L. W. Hatch, of the same Regiment, formerly of Sherburne in this County [Chenango Co., NY], who was recently killed in battle. The following, among other Resolutions, was adopted: "Resolved: That being called upon to chronicle the death of Lieut. L.W. Hatch, we feel that the Regiment and the service of the United States has lost a brave an noble officer, who fell while leading his men in an engagement with the enemy; that we have ever recognized in him the qualities of a true Christian and a good soldier, having the best interests of the service and his country at heart." An officer was appointed to escort the remains of Lieut. H. to his friends at home.

Lee Crandall Captured
Lee Crandall, formerly of this county [Chenango Co., NY], and now a Colonel in the rebel service, was captured, together with Gen. Marmaduke and three other Colonels, in one of the recent battles between our forces and those of Gen. Price in Missouri. He will be remembered as a somewhat fast operator in product and dry goods at South New Berlin, about the years 1855-6, where he played himself out, and most of his friends besides, in short order, failing for a large amount. He left this place for Missouri six or seven years ago, and as might have been expected from his temperament, joined the rebellion when it broke out, and has held a commission in the rebel army ever since. He is now with other prisoners on Johnson's Island, Lake Erie.

Death of Thomas D. Wright
Mr. Wright died at Deposit [Delaware Co., NY], Monday morning, the 7th instant, at the residence of Father Sweeney. So peaceful was his death, that no struggle awakened the worthy priest, with whom Mr. Wright slept. Skillful surgeons who officiated at the coroner's inquest, at once decided that the cause of Mr. Wright's death was nervous exhaustion, producing an engorgement of the heart. Mr. Wright's ardent temperament, his refined, intellectual abilities, when aroused, were too intense for his delicate physical organization.
Mr. Wright was a native of Ireland, a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, whose highest honors he received. Mr. Wright's patriotism compromised him during the revolutionary times of 1847-8. With many other gallant sprits, Mr. Wright left his beloved land, and adopted our country and county as his own. Mr. Wright studied law, became partner with the Hon. D.S. Dickinson, and at once achieved a high standing in this community, and a wide reputation abroad. He was a young man of high literary attainments, rapid logical intuition, splendid memory, brilliant oratorical facilities, strongly resembling that array of genius (Curran, Grattan, Emmett, Sheridan), who have made the Irish character proverbial for eloquence.
He leaves a wife, a daughter of the Hon. John A Collier, and three children. When the last remains of the lamented Wright, attended by a large deputation of his townsmen, arrived, they were met by a large concourse, numbering thousands of our citizens. Indeed, no laureled hero of the battle field ever had a more enviable tribute of respect. And the sadness was so tender, that there was assurance that it was spontaneous and cordial.

Sad News From Norwich Boys
A letter received on Monday last from Charles C. Gross by his sister, Mr. J.F. Hill, brings sad news concerning two of the Norwich boys of Capt. Vaughan's Company, 22d Cavalry, who were among the number taken prisoner by the rebels near Fredericksburg last spring. Mr. Gross is employed on one of the boats engaged in exchanging prisoners, and his letter is dated "Near Savannah, Nov. 21, 1864," and was written while awaiting the arrival of a rebel boat with prisoners. he says: "I saw one of the 22d N.Y. Cavalry yesterday. He told me that Henry Gartsee was dead; he died in Andersonville, Georgia, with the dropsy. He also thinks that Charles York's boy is dead; he was taken to the hospital in June with a very bad wound, and he has never heard form him since."
Both Gartsee and York were from Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]. The former was a printer by trade, and had worked much in this office. He makes the third of our old compositors who have fallen victims to the war, all of whose deaths we have chronicled with the last few weeks.
