Death Of John a. Washington.

The Cincinnati commercial publishes let
ter from Camp Elk Water, dated September
lG, giving the following account of the death
of John A. Washington
On Friday afternoon, about four o'clock,
small scouting party was sent out to recon!
noitre on the right branch Of Elk Water,
which flows some miles upon our right.
They had not left the outer picket post fif-
teen minutes when party of seven Rebel
horsemen approached them. The comman.
der of the Rebels rode leisureIy few PAGES
in front of his escort, and seemed totally un-
aware of any danger. Our scouts waited un-
til the party came within short range " hen.
from some inexpllcable reason, the coming
party took the alarm, and suddenly turned
their horses heads to retreat. As they d.
so, however the Federal party fred, and the
officer who in the retreat was ia the rear, fell
from his saddle. His escort fed like coward.
y pohroons, leaving their commander wouu
ded and dying upon the roadside The Eed.
eral party ran up to the wounded man and
found him partially raised upon one hand,
attempting to grasp his pistol. AS they ap-
preached, the dying man smiled family and
said, How are you, boys? Give me sons
water One Of the party placed his canteen
to the eoldier'g lips, but they were already
cold in death.
A litter was made, and the BODY carried 20
headquarters, when 40 examination of his
person was made. Judge. if you can, of ths
surprise excited, when upon his clothing was
found the name of John Il. Washngton2-
Four balls had passed through his body, two
entering either lung and any one inhictinga
mortal wound. A flag Of truce was sent the
next morning TO the Rebels, Offering to return
the body, and all the Colonel's efects It was
met by Lieutenant Colonel Stark, of Louis
lana, who was coming to our camp to demand
the body. When told that Colonel Washing.
ton was dead, Colonel STARK was very deeply
affected. and for some moments was unable
TO speak at all. He finally said, Colonel
Washington's temerity killed him he vas
advised not to 20 where he did, but was on
his frst expedition, and extremely anxious
to distinguish himself Colonel Washington
was attached to the staff of General Lee as
engineer. -
What a sad commentary Colonel Wash
inston's death affords US. His illustrious
