Il We are panied to record the death Of Mai. T. N.
Crumpler Of Ashe, which took place near Richmond
few days since, of . wound received in a conflict
with the enemy below Richmond. The wound was
inflicted by minnie ball, which passed through
| his lungs and came out near his shoulder blade.
Maj Crumpler belonged to Col. Bakers formerly
Ransom's) cavalry. He entered the service as a
Captain and was promoted to be Major of the regi-
meat He was among the foremost in the charge
in which he lost his life.


We had the pleasure of conversing with him at
length, a few days before his death. He was on
bis way to Richmond, and spoke in the most anima.

which would soon be presented of meeting the enc

the Union up to Lincoln's proclamation; andwhen
told, in the House Of Commons, Of which be was a
member, that he was tardy IN the work of revolu-
ton, he replied that he would cling to the old gov.
ernment as long as he honorably could, but that if
any attempt should be made to coerce the South he
would resist it. and that when the day of battle ar
rived he and his friends would be found as far in
front, among the broken columns of the enemy, as
those who appeared to be so anxious for tie war.
Most nobly has he redeemed his pledge.
The whole country mourns. "Red battle stamps

best and most useful men disappear forever as rap
idly as snow fakes on the river. Every family Ia

they sleep in honored graves, and the day-sta Of

their remains. Its beams will shed Joy through

DESCENDING INTO THE GRAVE TO MAKE PARTY Car.
IrAL.--We have indeed fallen ON evil times, when

their purpose to take him out of the army, and to
make him Commander-in- Chief of our forces at
home; and he would, have been less or more than q
man, if ho had stubbornly opposed this purpose
And in the second place, We know that Lieut. Mcr-
ritt himself wrote to COL Vance, urging him in the
strongest terms to permit his name to be used for
Governor. During the last conversation we had

soldier and citizen, to cast his vote for Col.
Vance, lie did not regard the determination he had
formed to remain in the army, as affecting any of his
brother soljiers, especially those who, like Col.
Vance, called for by the people of The State to
occupy positions where they could be more useful
to the country than they could be in the field.


1t is common thing with some of the Stallfedc.

storm and carry their Notifications?


Apswer-I did expect him TO carry
that point, which being done, would have
placed our forces in the rear of their ex-
treme left, and which l thought at the
time would shake their forces on the
ridge to such an extent that the position
in front could be easily stormed and
carried.
Question-To what do you attribute
the failure to accomplish that?


Answer-To the great strength of the
position, and the accumulation of the
ehemy's forces there. I expected that
the bridges would be built in two or three
hours after they were unloaded, which
was about daylight. Instead of that,
those on the right were not built until
three o clock in the afternoon, and had
only the means Of getting across one di-
vison over the bridge on the right


General Franklin's bridges were built
about noon, and were held by our troops
on the opposite bank. This gave the
enemy time to accumulate their forces,
