From the Decatur Q1l., Republican. ]

FROM the Decatur I'LL Republican,
From a late number OF the Mexico
(Missouri) Ledger, we learn the partic-
ulars of the tragic death of Col. s. s.
Goode, formerly of this city. The
Colonel was engaged in the grocery
business at Mexico, ard had recently
been arrested on a charge of selling
empty barrels with the United States
brand upon them. The arrest had
been made upon the information OF
w. d. Campbell, late United States
Assessor, who, it is said, prosecuted
the case very rigidly. After the dis
charge of the arrested prrties by the
United States Commissioner, who con-
sidered the detention unwarranted by
the facts, difficulty arose between
Colonel Goode nd MIR. Campbell,
which resulted in the former attacking
the latter with hickory cane. Camp
bell being unable to get out of the
clutches of Goode, drew a pistol and
fired two shots at his assailant, one of
which entered tie left breast of the
Colonel near the heart. The wounded
man was taken to physicians office,
where he breathed once or twice, but
never spoke.
Col. Goode had led an eventful life.
A native of Kentucky, he had partici-
pated ia bhs Mexican war, in the expe-
dition of Lopez against Cuba, and in
the border wars of Kansas. At the
breaking out of the late rebellion he
was residing in this city, where he had
held the office of Clerk and Attorney
He raised company after the first call
of President Lincoln, but failed to get
into the three months service, on
account of the great surplus of men
who focked to the State capital He
was was then placed, with his company,
In one of the ten regiments authorized
to be recruited by the state government,
in the organization of which he was
chosed colonel. The regiment went
into camp at Nation for thirty days,
at the end of which time Governor
Yates appointed y uses S. Grant Colo
mel, and the regiment was mustered
into the service of the United States as
the 2lst Illinois. The refusal of the
Governor TO commission Colonel
Goode doubtless arose from the demon
allied condition of the men while in
camp at Mattoon, and from fear that
he would not prove competent to main.
tain proper military discipline In his
command. Goode then offered to enter
the ranks as private, but was rejected.
He remained in Decatur some time
after this, and then removed to Wanda
liza, where, it is reported, he became
violent copperhead, and mingled in the
choice rebel society which harbored
Clingman and bis band of guerrillas.
This report is generally believed, and
we have heard It rnmored that he even
belonged to Ciingmau's band, though
ward went to Carlinville, where he
kept saloon, and then removed to
Missouri, where he resided until the
time of his death.
