Death Of Gen. Richardsou.


The whole State of Michigan will be
saddened by the intelligence of the
death of that brave soldier and honest
patriot, Gen. Israel B. Richardson. He
was wounded in the shoulder at Antie-
tam, and was at once removed to Fred
erick where he has remained ever since.
The intelligence of his death il the
more startling az it is but short time
since, we were assured that be was out
of danger. ~
Gen. Richardson was q native Of
Vermont and appointed from that State
to be a cadet in West Point Academy
in 1886. He graduated with good
position in his class in ls41. He was
promoted to be a Second Lieutenant in
1916. Served in the Mexican war with
distinguished bravery at Contreras,
Cherebusco and Chepultepec, and came
out of the war a Major, having fairly
won his honors on the field. His
achievements in this war won the ad-
miration of the Nation. Soon after
the termination of this war, seeing no
prospect of active service he retired
from the army, came to Michigan and
settled on farm in Oakland county,
where he remained until the breaking
out of the present war.
He was one of the first men in this
State to volunteer for three years, and
was made Colonel of the Second Reg.
iment, which became our first three
years regiment. He commanded q
brigade at the first battle:.of Bull Run,
and was soon thereafter made Brig
adler General. 1t was his brigade that
covered our retreat and held the pur-
suing enemy at bay at Centreville. He
was the hero of the first days fight at
Blackburn's Ford. Shortly after this,
and during all the Peninsula campaign.
he was in command of division. He
was in all the. principal battles in the
Peninsula. Willamsburgh, Gaines
Mills, Malvern Hills and others and al
ways served with distinguished skill
and bravery.
So conspicuous and undoubted was
his bravery that the soldiers Familiarity
dubbed him as Fighting Dick,"s q
subribuet with which the nation has de-
lighted to honor him.
General Richardson was an earnest
believer in the righteousness of the
cause in which he drew his sword. He
was sincere lover of Republican lib.
erty, and understood and appreciated
deeply the stake we are contending for.
He was as brave soldier as ever fought
for his country. As aman he had little
OF courtly manners or polished speech,
but was man Of true heart, strong
convictions and warm friendship. He
has fallen into an honored grave.
General Richardson was bnt lately
married and leaves no issue.-Adu. Dc

From the Cincinnati Gazette, 9th.
The Death of Gen. Mitchell.

The country has suffered no common
loss in the death of Major Gen. Mitchell,
of which an arrival at New York, from
Hilton Head, apprises MS. a
Or,nsby Macknight Mitchell was born
in Union county, Kentucky, on the 2sth
of August, 1910. AT the aye of twelve,
having previously acquired good
school education, and some knowledge
of Latin and Greek, he became a clerk
in store at Miami, Ohio, and after.
wards removed to Lebanon, where he
had been educated. While at Lebanon,
he received cadets warrant, and en-
tered West Point, with a knapsack on
his back, and twenty-five cents in his
pocket, In June, 1925. On his gradu
alton in 1929, he obtained the appoint
nent OF acting assistant professor of
mathematics, holding it for two years.
From 1892 To 1884 he practiced law in
this city, aud foi the next ten years was
professor OF mathematics and the kind
red sciences, in the Cincinnati College.
During this period-in 1s36-7-he was
chief engineer on the Little Miami rail
road, and in 1S4l was one of the board
of visitors to West Point. Ea ~
In 1915 at the close of. a course of
lectures on astronomy, he proposed TO
our citizens the establishment of an
observatory. How successfully his ex-
ertions III behalf of this important in
stltution resulted, our readers generally
know. In the fourteen years of his
superintendence, the Cincinnati OBJ
servatory was known, most favorably
to the scientific world. Few observers
We're more lhdefatigable or correct than
Professor Mitchell. HIS discoveries
We're numerous and important, while
his lectures on his most favorite theme,
remar kable for the happy manner in
which they popnlarized the most alb
struse themes of astronomy, and for
the zeal with which, they enforced the
moral lessons derived from the study of
creation, attracted admiring audiences
IN all parts of the Union.
In 1859 Prof. Mitchell took charge OF
the Dudley Observatory at Albany, a
magniticently endowed institution,
which only needed head. Under its
new director il was fast being brought
into working order, when the crisis in
the affairs Of bis country drew Prof,
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1862-11-13

Mitchell from the calm walks of science
into the turmoil of military life.
Having been appointed Brigadier
General, he was for time connected
with the army of the Potomac, and saw,
We believe no active service. He was
next appointed to command embra
cling this city and the adjacent country
OH both sides of the river. He did not
remain here long, but soon conducted
one of the columns before whose ad-
vance the rebels were. driven toward
the Gulf. His excellent aud truly prac-
tlcal management during the early part
of this year on the line dividing Tenn
essee from Alabama won for him the
highest praise, and demonstrated that
the lessons learned at West Point thir-
ty years before had not been forgotten.
Though his design of liberating Tenn
essee could not be fulfilled, his career
at the South was the theme of univer-
sal praise, and his promotion to the
rank of major general was regarded as
one OF the most judicious appointments
of the present war. Not many weeks
ciuCC t1C vi SOulI
Carolina was intrusted to him. Tho
the force at his command was small,
warm hopes were entertained that the
lethargy which had long prevailed in
this department would be at once dis
PEELED. A few days ago the details of
reconnaissance to Pocotaligo, which
was at best but a partial success,
reached US. Gen. Mitchell was not pres
ent and whether his directions were
implicitly followed we are not informed.
Next we were told that both he and
his two sons, who had positions on bis
staff, were dangerously i'll of the ma
larious fever of the country, disease
of the same type of yellow fever. Our
dispatches Tonight state positively that
Gen. Mitchell has died of yellow fever.
We do not propose to indulge in use
less regrets, but it is impossible to con
ceal our sorrow at the sudden removal
of a man who to the gallantry of a true
soldier and the scientific knowledge of
the accomplished officer, added the
comprehensive attainments Of the phil
osopher and the humility of the Chris
tian. America will enroll in the record
of her patriots few more deserving
names than that of Major General
Mitchell. g H.. o5 -F33isir rsdts - Iffil 4

Many of the friends and acqnaint-
ances of the late Colonel Broadhead
have expressed great desire to see
his last letter, the one which is gener-
ally known he wrote to his wife from
the fatal battlefield.
In the language of loving and sor-
rowing brother, +" What a noble spirit
he had! And in the last supreme mos
ment, how it lowered above mortality.
He entered eternity like true chris
tlan hero, not boastful nor reckless, but
without shame and without fear. Death
came not to him with gloom and dark
ness, but like a flaming sun, dissipa.
ting the mists of human weakness, ard
showing, in glorious light, his uncon-
querable devotion to his country and
his friends. Green be the turf upon
his grave, and ever blooming the flow
ers of love and memory that spring
fresh from his honored ashes and clus-,
ter around his name:
My DEAREST WIFE IL write to
you, mortally wounded, from the battle
field. We are again defeated, and ere
this reaches you your children will be
fatherless,
Before die let me implcre that, in
some way it may be stated that Gen.
has been outwitted, and that
is traitor. Had they done
their duty as l did mine, and had led
as led, the dear old flag had waved
in triumph.
l wrote to you yesterday morning.
Today is Sunday, and to-day / sink to
the green couch of our final rest.
have fought well my darling, and
am shot in the endeavor to rally our
broken battallions. / could have
escaped, but would not till all hope
was gone, and was shot-about the
only one of our forces left on the field.
Our cause is just, and our Generals;
not the enemy's have defeated us. In
Gods good time He will give as victory.
Andnow, good bye, wife and children.
Bring them up, as | know you will, in
he fear of God and love for the Savior.
But for You and the dear ones depen-
dent, | should die happy. / know the
blow will fall with crushing weight on
you. Trust in Him who gave mama
in the wilderness.
DR.. Nash is with me. 1t is now af-.
ter midnight, aud have spent most of
the night in sending messages to you.
Two bullets have gone through my
chest, and directly through my lungs.
| suffer but little now, but at first the
pain was acute. / have won the SOL
dier's shame, and am ready to meet now;
as | must a soldiers fate. Ihope that
from Heaven l may see this glorious
old flag wave again over The undivided
Union have loved SO well.
Farewell, wife and babes, and friends.
We shall meet again.
