further particulars concerning the death of Colonel

have already been published. Gen. McDougald

Hepburn called at Gen. McDougald's Office 10 re-
quest an honorable me.ting-as letter to that
effect found upon his aersen, as were also two
loaded pistols
Almost Immediately after n. entered the Office
the report OF j pistol was heard and instantly at.
ter cry of distress, which alarmed the occupants
OF the dwelling over head, and on the entrance of
one of them, Col. H. was found just inside OF the
door sunk down upon trunk with his head down
on his breast, gasPisg fo- breath and entirely
bic 10 sPeak-in a few moments he was corpse.
Gen. McDougald, in excavation, says that be re-
ceved the day before an anonymous note cauti7n-
iog him to beware of an attack from H. and advi-
sing him 10 himself which he did-and that
as he saw Il. pass the window Of his Office ne
cooked ms pistol; that on his entrance q scufie
ensued, and ne was compelled TO shoot him. But
some OF HIS friends tbisk be WIS shot Immediate
ly as be entered the Office, and the position in
which he was found, and the situation of the wound
would seem 10 bear than. OUT He was shot in
the left eide gust below the heart and the left side
