DEATH OF COL. ELLSWORTH.


The murder of Col. Ellsworth yesterday
morning ct Alexandria, occasioned grief and
indignation among the soldiers and citizens
here, from which they were not perceptibly d.
verted by the excitement Of the attending mill
tary events. His youth, the high opinion and
hopes formed Of him, and the cruel sudden.
ness Of his death, all conspred to make the
tragic termination of his career, the theme Of all
tongues.
Col. Ellsworth was twenty y-four years Of age.
He was born in Saratoga county. N. Y. His
father and mother, Of whom he was the only
son, are both still living in Mechanicsville, N.
Y. They we're reduced to narrow circumstan.
ces by reverses in business many years ago.
COL Ellsworth lived several years at Chicago,
but last at Springfield, (Ill,) where he studied
law in the office Of Lincoln l. Herndon, the
senior member of which firm is now the Presi-
dent Of the United States. He was admitted
to the bar just before he came on to this city in
February, As one Of Mr.. Lincoln's escort His
brief but honorable career since, is we'll known
to the whole country.
Although choosing the legal profession, he
svinced his inclination to military affairs, by
his organization of the famous Chicago Zouaves,
and by the publication, about a year ago, of q
work upon military tactics, which has attracted
much attention, and which is said, by those
who ought to know, to be of high order of
merit. These circumstances gave him the
reputation; which enabled him to raise so
promptly the regiment Of New York Zouaves,
of which he was in command, when the sssas-
sins bullet laid him low.
gentleman who knew him we'll, describes
him as "a man Of great industry, executive
ability, tact, and enterprise, and the best friend
in the world" In the important command
which he exercised here, he exhibited com
bination of qualities rare in one of his age
He was devoted in his attentions to the comfort
ofhis soldiers, securing their devoted attach.
ment, while never relaxing the necessary Sc.
verify of military discipline.
His conduct in going into the Marshall
House in person, to haul down the offensive
flag flying over it, although an evidence Of the
energy and impulsiveness Of his age and tenn
permanent, can hardly be said to have been al
imprudence.
There is no caution which can anticipate
and guard against such an act Of desperation
and selfsbandonment, as that to which he fel
a victim. 1t was a case of assassination, an
by an assassin utterly reckless Of his own life
and who paid the forfeit Of it upon the instant
Colonel Ellsworth was unmarried.
He has fallen young, but in the glorious di:
charge of high duties, surrounded by his so
diers who loved him, and in the attentive pres
ence of a great nation, which will long preserv
and honor his memory. Abia plures.

AFFAIRS AT PORTSMOUTH, VA.-Passengers
by the Keystone, which arrived here yesterday,
report fearful state Of things in Portsmouth,
that city being held in complete subsection by
a mob of Georgia soldiers. Women dared
not walk the streets after sundown, and were
often insulted in the grossest manner by the
soldiers, while sitting on their own doorsteps.
Many Of them had money due them from per
sons in the navy yard, and when compelled to
go for it, were subjected to the greatest indig.
mites. Commodore French, who is in com.
mand Of the navy yard, is represented as an
old libertine, who encourages his men in their
bestialities by his own conduct.
The refugees state that there are hundreds of
stanch Union men in Portsmouth, whose daily
prayer is that the secession bands may be driv.
en- from their midst These men are kept in
subjection and constant fear for their lives by
the Georgia soldiers, who occupy the navy yard
and adjacent fields. 1t is believed that, were
it not for the soldiers Portsmouth would give

however, are told that if they dare to vote or
talk for the Union, they will be killed in
