BAssErT LANGDoN DRAD.--We learr
from the Cincinnati papers this morning
that General Bassett Langdon, United
States Assessor at Cincinnati, died yester-
day. He had been several times member
OF the Legislature, and distinguished him
self IN the war as an officer of merit. At
the battle Of Mission Ridge he was severely
wounded. In this action he commanded
the Twenty-Third Kentucky and First
Ohio Infantry, composing, with the sixth
Ohio Infantry, the first line of General W.
B. Hazen's Brigade, which on that occasion
captured twenty-six pieces OF artillery. He
was appointed, last year, by President
johnson, to the office which he held ut the

cause some people to ope their mouths with
wonder and think 1t strange that one small
head could contain so much and discourse
so beautifully about the finny tribe and
their peculiar haunts and habits. We
might tell of men who were not crushed by
locomotives at street crossings-we might
say that Tom had met his dulcina at the
appointed hour, and while bright Luna
shed her lustrous rays, had perambulated
miscellaneous ike with said fair damsel.
and poured into her not unwilling ear sweet
words OF promise, and sich, but we
won't. We might say that Sam and Peter
had wandered down by Mad Rivers side,
to gaze upon its turbid waters, with dire
intent to plunge headlong therein and
breast its fierce-rolling current, as did Le-
ander at the Hellespont. when he went
wooing the old fisherman's daughter, but
