about 1885, and consequently was hardly
thirty years of age. He graduated at West

lieutenant of cavalry in December 1855 In
the summer of 1857 he distinguished himself.
and was severely wounded, in a fight with
the CHEYENNE Indians. In 1860 he was pro-
NOTED to captaincy, and on the l4th of
May, 1861, resigned his commission in the
United States service. He Immediately en-
tered that of the Rebellion, and command

THE SEASON.

To-day the fruit-trees bend beneath the weight
or snowy drifts of blossoms perfumes rare
Mingle with b'rd-songs in the sun-lit air:
The robin whistles to her busy mate.
The tiny humming- birds on gauzy wing,
Drink nectar from the wine cups of the flowers
And all the day beguile the happy hours
With the sweet plant OF the low chant they sing
The forest trees, proud in their rich attire,
Stretch their long arms up toward the deep Bike
sky;
White spccks OF clouds float dreaniIy on high
The sun CLOVIS like ball OF golden fire
Spring Tipcns into summer; and the year
Moves its accustomed round with noiseless feet
loiter thong htfully adown the street,
Aud tell my heart the perfect days near.

Col. BOaFdman---lE0W he was kiile

A letter written by Col Boardman himself
and dated the day previous to his death, May
I'd, states that lie had just been appointed by
Gen. Cook to a command equal to a brigade,
including the 4th Wisconsin, and the next
day would start from Baton Rouge upon an
expedition, composed of artillery, cavalry
and infantry, which promised success
A letter from Surgeon Wilson, dated two
days after states that the expedition set out
for the purpose of discovering the force of
the enemy in the rear. About seventeen
miles out on the Clinton road the enemy's
pickets were found, and heavy skirmishing
commenced Col. Boardman went forward TO
discover a suitable place for the passage of
his cavalry over a creek that ran between him
and the enemy, when volley of balls was
discharged at him from an ambuscade, wound
ing him i'll three places. A mimic ball pcne-
trated the brain, causing instantaneous death.
Surgeon Wilson adds that the colonel had
been out of health for over a week previous,
which may &C count for strong forebOdIug OF
his fate which he expressed before he left.
He told friend that he should not return
alive. He was the only man of the expedi-
tiUa killed.
The bravery of Col. Boardman and his
ability as a comm mder are unanimously GER
tilted to by the regiment. He was warm
hearted in his attachments and generous to a
fault. His remains were accompanied to the
boat at Baton Rouge b. a procession there
miles in length.
His funeral at Milwaukee on Saturday was
largely ended.-Hjlgaukee Ne3rs.
