Information of fatal accident reached this
city last night, which, if reports are to be re-
lied upon, resulted in the instantaneous death

that while on guard before daylight yesterday
morning, the deceased for some unaccountable
reason approached the bluff on which the fort
is situated, and accidentally fell into the ra-
vine below, distance of over seventy-f1vo feet,
instantly breaking his neck. The remains
were round yesterday morning and conveyed
! to the fort, where they will receive interment.
