DEATH OF CAPT. RANDOLPH RIDGLEY.-The whole
country will receive tie intelligence of the death Of
the gallant Captain RIDGLEY, with the deepest regret.
According to information furnished the ~ o. Delta,
by Capt. Dushon, who left Brazos ST. Iago the Sd
ins it appears that, Sunday the 25th ult, Capt.
Rdgley had been riding his horse swiftly down one
of the hills in the neighborhood of Monterey. The
animal fell with great force, the brave rider coming
under, the conclusion fracuring his skull. 1t rem
dered him speechess and nsensble, and left no hopes
of his recovery. The Washington Union of the 10th,
confirms this melancholy news. Well may the Della
excaim, as it does, "Alas poor Ridgey! hadst thou
fallen at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, or at the
seige of Monterey, to the glory of the American
arms in all of which thy gallant daring did sig
nally contribute few would be the tears though SIM
cere its sorrow which thy country would shed over
thy bier. But that thou shoudst be ignobly, as il
were, cut off, with the garland of glory fully and
freshly clustering thy brow; furnishes cause among
US for mourning that cannot be repressed, and will
not soon be feEgQtten."
correspondent of the Picayune relates the partc-
ulars of the accident follows:
captain Ridgley riding into town to dine
with McKall, his horse slipped the smooth pave
ment, and he was thrown with such violence against
a rock as TO cause severe fracture of the SKULL lie
lay senseless when Maj Dashell left, on the follow
ing day, and hope of his recovery was entertained
by the surgeons. In parting with this splendid young
officer little thought that before reached home i
would become my duty TO chronicle so painful an
event concerning him. The world never produced a
drawer man or better soldier than Randolph Ridgley
nobler spirit was encased in the human form
Ia kinder heart never beat. l cannot bring myself
to feel that the gallant Ridgley has died thus; the
thought is too cruel to be entertained. l can well
imagine the heartrcnding emotions of the comrades
who surround him. They have Seen him emerge un
scathed from several battles, where he behaved with
almost unparalleled herosm They all loved him
for he kind, frank and generous to every
