LIEUTENANT LOCKWOOD.
The Sandusky Register learns that Lieu
tenant Ralph Lockwood, of Company E,
| Seventh Ohio Regiment, who has just re-
turned to his home in Milan, is not expected
to recover from sickness contracted from
| over-exertion and exposure in Western Vir
ginia. We much regret to hear this. Lieu
tenant Lockwood, from his honorable pos ton
as citizen, his prOmptness to enlist in the
army of bis country at her first call, as well
hs thb idlNuluiJ dhu uuIOullbbluR SCI-
vice which he rendered under circumstances
the most embarrassing and srduous, is emf
neDtly entitled to a high place among our
gallant soldiery. Few officers have been
called to more severe experience than he.
His Captain (Sprague) was captured while
on his way to Ohio from Western Virginia,
and is now probably i'll Richmond; his First
Lieutenant (Wileox) was taken by Wise al
the battle of Cross Lanes, aud is now in
Castle Pinckney, at Charleston; nearly hall
of his company have been killed, wounded
or taken prisoners, and himself prostr ateG
by sickness directly traoeable to the misfor-
tunes of his comrades. In all these trials
we are assured that he bore up with true
courage, and that now, in view of his pro.
bable death, he does not regret the sacrifices
that he has made for his native land.
