MAJOR GENERAL RENO. (

Our readers will learn with deep re-
gret, that the high minded, gallant,
and chivafrous Reno is no more. He
wac nominated cadet at West Point,
from Pennsylvania, and graduated in
tlle same class with Generals Foster
and Mcclellan. ffe was brcveted

Of July, ts4e ;breveted captain, Sept.
13, 1s4Ty, tor gallantry in Mexico; was
appointed brigadier general OF volun-
teers, Nov. 12, 1861; and was after
wards appointed Major General Of
Vols, for meritorious conduct at Roa-
noke and Newbern.
He fell in the battle Of South or
Scared Mountain, Nd, on Sunday,
rhe 14th inst, whileheroically engaged
in the discharge of his, duty. While
daringly engaged in overseeing a
change in the line Of his skirlnishers,
O. MIME ball from the rifle of a rebel
sharpshooter put an end to his earthly
career. He died d soldiers death, en-
gagged in dpholdlng his country's hon
or. He was the very soul of integrity
and scorned mean man and. mean
act, and the soldiers of his division
lDved him with more than q filial af-
tection, which was heartily returned
by their commander.
On the battle-felds of North Carroll
ma, Gen. Reno acted an important
part. At Roanoke, he distinguished
himself with great bravery, and his
brilliant and successful charge at New
bern, will not soon beforgotten by the
participants in that memorable event.
At The battle Of Camden, he was sue
cessful, driving his enemies from their
masked batteries in dismay.
When General Burnside was called
to reinforce the army Of Gen McClel-
Tan, it was Gen. Reno's fortune to be
one of the chosen num5er to accom-
pany him. In the recent battle-felds
in Virginia, he sustained himself with
credit and geilantry and won new hon
ors. He has sealed his devotion to his
country's flag, with his blood, and a
nation mourns the loss of a gallat1t
cbieftain, and his army that ofaR idol.

His body will rest in soldiers

Ills memory will ever be green in the

will of that Great Dictator, to whose
call we must sooner or later all respond
