How " was Killed.

Francis T.. Growncll, the avenger of Col.
Ellsworth death, gives the following particu-
lars As the Col. landed on the wharf ut AL
cxandria, he passed up the streets, and seeing
a large Secession flag flying from the Marshall
House, he said, Boys, that must come down.
and telling four of them to go with him, he
went up and demanded of jackson that he
take it down. "By what authority ?" asked
he. by the authority of the United States"
said the Colonel. The landlord refusing to
take it down, the Colonel, brave even to a
fault, sprang up and seized it, his four men
following Oh the stairs. AS he was bringing it
down he said, "Don't tear it, boys, till we
get down-then well cut it up" Just then
the landlord put a double-barrelled gun to his
breast and fired. My God !" said the Colo
mel, and fell dead with his face in the flag.
Brownell, who stood next, seeing the gun still
pointing, says he knocked it aside and shot
Jackson in the face, at the same time running
him through with his bayonet and as he
stopped to do this the second Darrell of Jack
sons gun went off, passing the charge, which

There was no other violence done to his body,
the wife appearing and begging the men not
to disfigure it. The story that his hands and
his head were cut off, was not true, though
the Zouaves were with difficulty restrained
from cutting him all to pieces. Brownell was
from Troy, n. Y, and as Ellsworth vas a ma.
tive New Yorker, from the very next county,
it was fitting that a brother New Yorker should
avcngc his death. Brownell brought the body
of his friend to the Navy Yard in Washington,
and us the crowd gathered around the young
hero, who told his story with "A becoming
modcsty devoid of all anger, but with a tear
