General Orders, Nd. Sc.
l. The MsJor General commanding, with dep
regret. announces to the Army ef the Potomac the
loss Of Brigadier General Frederick w Lander,
the commsnder Of one Of Iu divisions, ~ho died
at Camp Chase, on the Upper Potomac, an the
afternoon Of the I'd instant, from the effects q
wound received in the affair with the rebels at
Edwsrd's Ferry, on the 2ad Of October, 1851.
The public services Of the deceased, then
known as Colonel Lander, In connection with
the overland route 20 the Pacific, had made his
name familiar to the American pc ople. At the
commencement Of this unhappy rebellion, be
was among the first who volunteered % support
with his life the Constitution and laws Of his
country. From the beginning Of the military
operations which hs-e restored Western Viz
ginia 70 the Union from the original movement
upon Philippe, where bis qualities a. leader
Of troops were strikingly displayed, to the com
pete expulsion Of the rebels from his department,
In which be exhausted his fading energies, his
conduct has ELECTED the admiration OF bis eoun-
tymen. HIS Invaluable services at Rich Noun
tain were recognized bY the Government in his
appointment as a Brigadier General; and his last
efforts were rewarded BY the cfncisl srprcvaI and
thanks Of the President.
Tall Of stature, aud Of great strength and sc-
tvity, with a countenance expressive OF intesli.
gence, courage, and sensibIlity, Gen Lsnders
presence was commanding and attractive. As
a military leader, he combined a spirit Of the
most daring enterprise with clearness OF judg-
nent In the adaptation Of means TO results. As
a man, his devotion to bis country, his loyalty
TO affection and friendship, his sympathy with
suffering, and his indi gnation at cruelty and
wrong, constituted him representative Of true
chivalry. He has died In the flower Of his manly
Prime and in the full bio in Of his heroic virtues,
but history will preserve the record Of his llfe
and character, and romance will delight In pos-
trsYing a figure 80 striking, nature 90 noble,
and career 90 gallant.
While paying this public tribute Of respect, tbe
General commanding fesls most deeply that, In
the death Of this brave ard distinguished soldier,
he has personally lost one Of the TGest and dear
est Of friends.

proper arrangements for the funeral ocrsmOniesof
the deceased.
