the city was surrendered with all the arms,

GEN. BEN. McCULLoCH.
The Rebel Leader was Killed BY an Illinois Sharp
shooter.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: Senator Berry,
of Arkansas who was Lieutenant in the 10th
Ark, gives this account of the death of Gen.
Ben. McCullOCh in the battle near LeetOwn,
at Pea Ridge Ark, March z, 1862: In the
early part of the battle some Confederate In
dams and white troops under Gen. Pike capt
ured Federal battery. A short time after this
Gen. McCulloch commenced to reform his
lines for general advance. He rode out in
front of the 10th Ark. and ordered Col. Hill,
commanding the regiment to deploy two COM
panies as skirmishers through the thick wood
in the direction of a field few hundred yards
south. Col. Hill was also ordered to follow
with his regiment a short distance in the rear
of the skirmshers, and as soon as they became
engaged 30 charge with his regiment until no
came TO the field fence. Gen. McCulloch rode
a few yards in the rear of the skirmisher5.
They soon became warmly engaged with the
Federal skirmishers, who had been thrown for
ward and were posted behind the north side
field fence, but inside of the field. The mo-
ment rapid firing commenced between the OPP
posing skirmish-lines Col. Hill charged with
his regiment as ordered and when within go
to 20 yards Of the fence his men ran over the
dead body of Gen. McCuIloch, who had Just
been shot by the Federal skirmishers. The
body of the General was found and recognized
by Lieut.. Joseph Nj. Bailey and several other
members of Co. d, 10th Ark. The General had
died instantly. Lieut.. Bailey at once reported
his death to Adjt Pixley who was afterward
Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment. Lieut.
Pixley ordered a detail of men to take the body
to an ambulance in the rear, which was done,
and in few moments afterward it was en- route
to BentOnville and Fort Smith, where it was
buried. The fall of the Confederate leader had
a depressing effect upon his troops besides, it
put an end to their concerted movements. The
General wore when he rode forward in the rear
of his skirmish-line dOvecolored coat that
looked like corduroy, and had slung around his
shoulder Maynard rife. When the 10th Ark.
reached the fence the Federal skirmishers, ex-
cept those killed and wounded, retired to the
south side Of the field, where the Federal line
of battle was formed"
On the Federal side Cos. and G., 36th H.,
were thrown forward by Col. N. GronseI, COM
handing Second Brigade of Gen. Osterhauss
Division as skirmishers to check the Confeder-
ate advance. The Federal skirmishers ad-
vanced across to the north side of the field and
took position behind the fence, and in a few
moments saw the Confederate line approaching,
and when within easy range opened fire upon
it, Peter Pelican, of Co. b. 36th H.. seeing a
mounted officer in the rear Of the Confederate
line, took aim and shot him from his horse.
The Federal soldiers description of the officer
leaves no doubt that it was Gen. Ben. McCul-
Loeb that he shot.-WuEY BRITTOE
