DEATH OF CASA HEARTY. New Or

DEATH OF CASA HEARTY. The New Or
leans papers announce the death of Major
Enoch George Mcknight, in that city, on
the ioth instant, from consumption. George
was resident of Columbia for many years
and served his apprenticeship in the South
Carofiniom Office. In 1860, he removed to
the Southwest. At the commencement of
the late war, connected himself with a
Louisiana regiment, and was finally elected
Major. AT Corinth, we believe, he was
made prisoner; was confined at Camp
Chase and Johnston's Island It was while
prisoner of war that he acquired consi-
derable notoriety as writer, over the sig
nature of ASA Heartz"-his communica-
tons being addressed to his cleft bower,
Jack O'Dimuntz.

Secretary OF the Treasury. The Secretary oil
War was Gen. Knox. one of the ablest men OF
