As he advanced ‘around a corner of a filed, a guerrilla, named Ben. Johnson, fired on him, tho ball posing through bis heart, and the gallant fellow fell dead in his tracks. Before Johnson had time to effect his escape, the whole top oi his head was shot off by CoL Net ter' a orderly, who was by his side when he fclL CoLSetters men seem to have fallen back, and no Other skirmishing of any consequence occurred during the day. Col* Xeiter’s men remained in their fenced camp, while the guerrillas rode through and through the town. On Friday night shout 450 of the Spencer county HomeGuards, under command of Lieut, CoLWood, of the 1st Indiana cavalry, crossed the river, *»d on Saturday morningThis waa the first authentic intelligenceobtained of the Colonel * death. No opportunity was given to announce the time of the funeral, which was fixed for4 o'clock Adjutant Soontag, however,did his heat to notify the members of the different companies of the Indiana Legion, and by half past 2 o'clock they commenced co lecting at their various headquarter*. By 3 o’clock they were in line on Third street, where they were formed—the regiment under the command of Lieut CoL Gwathmey and the battalion under Major Walkyr. The regiment was beaded by the GormanBrass Baud and the battalion by the Crescent City Bond. • mAttached to the regiment was a company each of cavalry and artillery. The guards took up their line of march about half past three o’clock, for the residence of Mr. Fournier, brother-in-law of the murdered Colonel, where the body was taken on Saturday night Gena Loveand Blythe accompanied the processionin an open carriage. At the residenceof Mr. Fournier, military services wcro performed, when the procession was re.formed and proceeded to the grave yard,used exclusively by the Israelites' Therewere at least 1,000 Home Guards in theprocession, and many of the companiespresented the appearance of veterans, with such stateliness and precision did they inarch.The ceremonies at the grave were few and simple. The artillery fin'd minute guns as the body was lowered to its final resting pleace, and soon the vast crowd turned their steps homeward with a sigh over the early death of a soldier who bid fair to inscribe his name high up on, the Temple of Fame.TUT; Edplacetiati.therediscowoolrebelHeor m cm pi diiKKthis ficcr ful u port will, turn men iu viTiiarifl irboadavweehouwilTIjc paths of glory Irad but to tlie grave.*•Remember.Let every relative arid friend of ournoble volunteers remember that Judge Law voted against a bill increasing the pay of the private soldier four dollar* per month, while he introduced and secured the passage of a measure largely increasing the pay of commissioned officers. which was already out of all proportion, when compared with that of pri rates.
