FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER ), 1861.
gotal SMtkIliatryts,


in the local department of the Crescent, Mr.. Israel
Gibbons, returned to the city few days since from
Columbus, KY, where he has been for the past tw o
months with Company c., Continental Guards, of
which he was Sergeant. His health has been con-
slderably benefited by his experience in camp,
and he now looks as robust as one of Old Fritz's'
grenadiers. Since leaving here, he has been pro-
NOTED to the rank of captain, having been appoint
Quartermaster to the 9th Lou jiana Battalion,
under Lieut. Col. J. B. G. Kennedy, promotion
which we are sure b. has merited by his intei-
gence and strict attention to duty. In common
with his many friends here, we congratulate him
upon this first step upon the ladder of fortune and
hope that we will have to chronicle lis still lurther
promotion. - --- OLA. sn.e
He visits the city on business connected with his
Battalion, ald will remain for three or four days
more. We have learned frc IN h'm that the men of
the Fifth Battalion are much in need of blanke.s
and thick Woolen socks, as the climate at Coum
bus is not of the warmest about now, and that all
contributions of the SOFT will be thankfully re-
ceived by him, and delivered at headquarters as
soon as possible. We hope our generous and pa
ttiotc citizens will do all they can for those brave
boys who are undergoing the rgors of a northern
climate for their sakes. Capt. Gibbons requests us
to state that any packages or letters left at this
office for his Battalion, or for Company G, Cont
mental Guards, will be safely delivered by him.
SUDDEN DEATHs.-Two well-known citizens died
very suddenly on Wednesday evening Of apoplexy
being seized by the disease while in the street. and
dying before they could be taken home. .5 4 s.s.
The first case was that of Mr.. August Delachaise.
He fell down in the street, was taken to the Charity
and 5ad in Pa, bon
discovered by papers in his pockets, and his family
sent for, who took charge of the body and moved
it to his residence. Mr.. Deachaise was, we be-
iieve, native of the city and belonged to one Of
or Oldest families. w. - -..L s-,. ... s-F
The second was that Of Mr.. Edward Sonnekalb,
wellknown broker of No. 20 Natchez street.
While on his way home in the evening he was at
tackled at the corner Of Custonhouse and Br~gundy
streets, and went into the house at the corner.
The kind people who reside there Immediately
sent for physician; but before one could arrive
the unfortunate gentleman was dead. His body

iell into the ditch. His brother, who was blowing
In the field near by hearing his cries, ran to his as
slstance; but, unfortunately, fell in also; and as
neither could swim, and the banks precipitous and
