The Buffalo Express says that Col. G. A. SCROGGS, of the 25th U. S. Colored Regiment has resigned his commission,
and returned home. He was deputized to superintend the organization of colored regiments in Texas, but that State
having been virtually abandoned by our troops, his mission fell through, and consequently he returned.
Sixty prominent citizens of Buffalo, among whom is Mr. DORSHE?MER, Collector of Internal Revenue, and all of whom
are exempt from military service, have agreed to furnish representatives in the army as soon as the men can be
obtained.
We are glad to announce that Mrs. MILLER, of Niagara county, who was severely injured by the locomotive explosion
on the 8th June, and the last one of the unfortunate victims of that sad affair remaining here, was so far recovered
as to leave for home yesterday afternoon; and was accompanied by her husband, a physician and nurse. She has been
confined to her bed and room at the Syracuse House since the accident, where every attention has been given her
that was possible. It is understood that the Railroad Company has satisfactorily arranged matters of damage with
all the parties injured at that time, excepting that of Mrs. SANFORD, of Oneida county, in which case there is
no disposition to make exorbitant demands, but which is left open for a more full development of the probable effects
of her injuries for the future. Nothing that the Company could do to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunates
has been left unions. (Syracuse Standard 12th)

DEATH OF REV. GEORGE DUTTON
By an obituary notice in another column it will be seen that Rev. George DUTTON died in Utica last Sunday. Deceased
came to this city about the year 1840, and engaged in trade in musical merchandise. He was not more distinguished
for his musical taste and skill as a pianist and organist, however, than for his many admirable traits of character,
and his great intellectual power. In the year 1858 he lost his wife, a most amiable and excellent lady, and this
sad event filled up the measure of his sorrows, as he had only a short time previous buried his two children. The
loss of his entire family had a most painful and depressing influence upon him. He gave up his business, and for
some time attended lectures in the University and the Theological Seminary. He was afterwards ordained as a minister,
and supplied the pulpit of a church in Charlotte. Subsequently he went to the West, and assured the pastoral charge
of a church in Detroit, we believe. His health finally failed him and this we regret to say, was followed by a
decay of his mental faculties, which rendered necessary his removal to the Asylum at Utica. The sad condition in
which he has been for some time past has been a source of great affliction to his many friends, and has attracted
the sympathy of all who have known of it.
Mr. DUTTON was well known, and universally esteemed, in this community. His sad death will be sincerely mourned,
while the great consolation will remain that he has exchanged a world of pain and sorrow for one of eternal joy
and peace.

A lad named Lucius McDONALD was fatally injured at Medina a few evenings since, while trying to climb upon a New
York Central Railroad car, while the train was in motion.
We learn by passengers on the propeller Akron, which arrived here this morning, that an unknown man fell overboard
and was drowned about one hour after leaving Cape Vincent. He is described as having been a low- sized, slim personage,
and had lost an eye. He went on board the propeller at Ogdenburg and remarked to passengers that he was going to
Cattaraugus county for his daughter, who, he stated, is residing there. The officers of the Akron used every effort
to rescue him, lowering a boat and searching in the vicinity till satisfied further efforts was useless. (Oswego
Times 13th.)
On Wednesday morning last, Lewis ELLIS, a young man engaged in painting on a window frame in the 3d story of the
Clinton House, fall??? backward, a distance of some thirty-five feet, turning a complete summersault, and striking
on his feet at the foot of the building. Very remarkably he escaped, it is believed, without any permanently serious
injury. A plank lay in front of the window, with one end raised a little distance from the ground, and his feet
first struck this, shivering it in pieces, and it is doubtless owing to the break of the force of the fall by this
plank that he owes his life. As it was, he came down in a heap badly stunned, with his ankles very much sprained,
and one great toe out of joint. It is not believed that any bones are broken or any internal injury sustained;
and it is hoped his sprained ankles may not lay him up a very long time. His escape from more serious injury is
wonderful. (Ithaca Journal)
