When General Reno fell, Gen. Sltrses
was within lew yards of him. He was in
command OF the division formerly com
manded by Reno, increased by several new
regiments, and the men had just distin
guished themselves in driving the rebels
from The summit OF the Blue Ridge These
generals were bosom friends had been
classmates at West Point, and graduated
together. When Reno fell, Sturges ran TO
his assistance, had him picked up and said
'sJesse, are you badly wounded 2" To
which he replied, "Yes Sam, am dead
man" Gen. Sturges had him placed upon
a litter and carried to the rear, where he
died in an hour. His last words, before

be with you no longer in body, but am

Hanover, Pennsylvania. If this be so, they
may rest perfectly assured OF hearing quite

HORRIBLE MURDER Ar RaRglSBURG


Alerrible crime is reported in the Harris
turg papers as having been committed near
that place on Friday OF Saturday night, the
Sd or zlh inst. On Friday evening iiuIe
girl, aboui five years, .old, daughter OF Mr.
Emannel S. German. was missed, and on
Saturday morning il was ascertaned that
The child had been seen early in the even
ing passing up Second Street IN company
with man, a stranger 10 those who met
him. ALI day Saturday diligeni search was
on Sunday morning, and some gentlemen
who visited what is known as Welzel' 3
swamp, within a short distance OF the city
were startled and horrifed 10 find the little
one they were in search OF lying upon her
face 10 the woods, in a mangled corpse !
terrible wound was found on the lett side
of the neck: seyering the main artery aud
fracuring The right jaw bone. By the sice

with which her 6endish murderer had no
doubt eniiced her to accompany him. The
wound was at first supposed to have been
inflicted with Pistol ball, but on post
morem examination, it seems 10 have been
the work OF knife or other sharp insiru-
ment
There are vorious surmses as to the per-
pe,rator of This most infamous, horrible and
unparalleled crime, and the motive that
could have induced IT. Many are Of the
opinion that il was committed by an escap-
ed lunatic fron the Insane Asylum, some
of the inmates of which Institution occa-
sionally find their way into The city. Others
are,dis posed 10 attribute il to peniteutiary
convict who bad threatened vengeance
against Gov. Curtin, or some member oi his
family, for refusing to pardon him, and
that he abducted Mr.. Germans little girl,
supposing her 20 be daughter OF the GoV.
A mistake of The kind might have occurred,
as the families live in close proximity, and
the children of both have been intimate
associates in play.
The following is an accurate description
of the supposed murderer, furnished by
those who saw him in company with The
deceased: ':About % years OF age, FIVE
feet eight inches high, slim bulk, thin face,
dark hair, dark complexion, rather sallcw,
smooth face, wore a soldiers cap very
much faded, blue blouse and old dirty
grey panialoons, torn aboul the bottom of
the legs"
Several persons were arrested on suspi-
cion, but on being confronted with those
who had seen the murderer and not idenu-
fed, were released. The chief detective
OF PhiiadeIp phia is on the spot, at the Gov
ernor 's.reqnest, and will use all possible
meaus:io discover the murderer. Cover
nor Curtin, by proclamation. offers $1,000
reward for the apprehension and convic-
ton of the wretch.
