the last moments and death of the late lament.
Cd Col William a. Webb; Tho extract Is az
follows:
DEAR NED: Col. Webb lis dead. he dIei
this Christmas ere, after 4 short illness Of
about t"o weeks, Of that terrible camp
scourge typhoid fever Never was q Colonel
60 beloved BY his whole command as was
William :. Webb. The regiment monrns the
death q its gallant leader, with the deepest,
eea,Q 81 soqW; am1 Words Of regret are upon
Of his death he-R -Ras engaged to be married to
- OF Chicago We ali sincerely Join with
her in mourning his untimeIy death. Our loss
Is fTeparable. It seems to us be should have
been spared to lead his Spartan band against
TIE ioe, but the ways Of Providence are in
se4u.aDl
Lieut.: Colonel Roberts is very sick with ty-
phoisd fere1; -.
;, Ny letter #ill nft 60 until morning, so
thought would write few words more.
Our regiment: there is left Of It's pro-
trimming: Of our Adjdtant. 'Wetave now about
siz hundred men, # for duty. 4 great many
Of them are sick with camp fevers, measles,
dJsentery, colds, ETC. We suffered terribly
ffoca the effects Of that forced march ne made
to Springfield just before Fremont vas rc-
moved. For fifteen days ne camped ont with
cut tents, the blue heavens above us our cano-
Pr, the ground our couch. We would Inv us
down to sleep with our grey blankets wrapped
around US. In the morning they would be
hanged to thick white connterpaneB. Our
hai1 would be covered with stiff white frost.
Oh! Ned! I cannot write any more. MY
heart is too sad. My eyes long unused to
tears are now full, for my Colonel has gone
home. I feel like throwing up mJ con11nis-
sion and going back to Chicago. Please let
Miss - know we all sympathize deeply
with her. When the Colonel VAS first taken
sick, he sent for her. She, With party of
friends, came. They were with him GONE
time and only left him when he was apparent
y much better. -Four days after she feft, he
commenced growing worse. He was most of
the time dclirious, had some six or seren at
tacks of hemorThage at the nose. It was per-
fectly awful to see that man bleed. I really
was afraid he would bleed to death. DR.. Pow
