Editor Daily Neaos :-Supposing
the community would feel some in
terest in the particulars of the death
Of w. S. Hackett l send you for
publication, if you wish, the accom-
panying letter from his uncle, r. r.
Hackett to my wife. There are of
course, various and conflicting YER
sions Of this affair as is very apt to
be the case where a number of wit
nesses are on the stand, and | have
seen some half dozen, no two Of which
are alike. None attach blame to any
particular one of our men, save
the Virginia Cavalry. l suppose
there is no doubt but they inglori-
ously tled-and a blush of shame
must mantle the cheek of every
Southerner in recording the flight of
men whilst battling in such cause
as ours.
All accounts agree that Col. Dreu1
lost his life bravely, Win Hackett
recklessly; and a more fearless spirit
than his never winged its flight from
any battle field. Physically he was
a model Of manhood; was warm hear
ted under a cold exterior, knew no
bounds to his friendship, was much
loved by those who knew him best,
and between him and his uncle there
! existed an attachment like to that of
father and son. His indifference to
danger was that Of stole, and 80 he
met death fearlessly, calmly and
without murmur.
'Thus motionless and moanless drew
Hisparting breath, stout Rhoderick Dhu.''
If die he must in his country's
cause, would he could have been
spared yet little while, that the
enemy might have felt the force of
his strong arm and appreciated the
true chivalry of the South by his
deeds of daring.
Another friend, after referring to
the death of Col. Dreux writes
"He was not our only loss: We had
scarcely said howdy to our young
friend Hackett, when he started out
with us on that fatal expedition

Mr.. EDITOR: In an article Of the
last Caddo Gazette, headed "The
Sentinels," the editor regrets the bad
feeling and jealousy which exists be-
tween the native and foreign citizens
composing the company of the Sen
tineIs. If ever such feelings existed
on the part Of the foreigners, l for
one of the class have never known
it; and therefore can only be con-
strained to believe, that the native
born citizens, particularly those who
always strive after Office, are the ones
who raise that hatred feeling against
theirforeign brothers, who are endea-
