Danforth, for service in the militia of the State. Not liking the duties of a soldier, the captain soon deserted, and when rearrested on Tuesday by Capt. Charters, acknowledged that be had deserted, but stated that it was in order that he might attend the deliberations of and hasten action on a plan which he had laid before them to blow up number of Yankees in the twinkling of an eye. He will undergo a trial by court-martial before he can be released from confinement.
