DEATH OF LIEUT.-CoL. CHARLES Nc
n,,,rr-A friend sends us the follow
,rouucement of the death of former !
FSsDsburgher. 1t is cut from Califor-
the name and date of which are
/ Not mentioned -
/ nTbe telegraph brings us the painful
Intelligence of tie death of Lieut.-Coi-
fb,rles McDermitt, of the Second Cali
ioruia Cavalry, commander of the District
In Nevada, who fell by the hands of
Ekulkipg Indian assassins, on Tuesday
rd M'Dermitt was one in whose praise,
an officer and gentleman, too much
,ppot be said. He was born in Cambria
lOunty, Pennsylvania served with dis
locion as Lieutenant and Captain in
he Second Pennsylvania Volunteers in
he Mexican War, and came to California
IN IS49, settling in Siakiyou county,
where he held the positions of County
Judge and Sheriff at different times
Nhen the first call was made for Volun-
beers in California in 1861, he raised q
company for the Second Cavalry, and was
commissioned Captain by Governor Stan
ford. He was stationed first, we believe,
nt Fort Miller, and early in 1862 was
promoted to the rank of Major. Early in
1865 he was promoted to the rank of
Lieut. Colonel, and two weeks since was
appointed to the important position of
commander of the District of Nevada, by
General Orders No. l, issued by General
Mcdowell on his assuming command of
the Department of California. His first
promotion caused some i'll feeling among
the other officers Of the Second Regiment,
who felt offended at his elevation over
them; but his conduct in every position
fully justified the confidence reposed in
him by General Wright, and he had warm
and earnest friends among all classes of
our citizens. In his relations as an officer
be was a model worthy of imitation, and
as citizen, husband and father, his
aenory will be cherished and revered by
all who knew him. No man In the De-
4 partment ot the Pacific stood higher in
the confidence of the successive comman-
ders under whom he served, and his loss
is one which viii be felt seriously by the
service. He leaves a family at Fort
Churchill. His age at the time of his
death was about 20 years" 7
