Sergeant Moulton of Willimantic, Conn. . . .

. . . of the 3d Connecticut regiment, captured at Bull Run and lately released from Richmond, is the hero of a story going the rounds of the papers to the effect that while in prison he made a “conquest” of a beautiful and wealthy young lady of that city.  The story relates how the young lady sent him money, clothing, and luxuries without stint.  The Hartford Courant says the story is true, that Moulton is soon to be married to the young woman, who has come North for that purpose.
