General Mitchel at that date was spparently as well as ever but on the Monday follow in? lie-was stricken with the fever. Nothing seriwus iu his ease was apprehended until Wednesday night, when he seemed to realize that he was Milking, and beyond recovery. With this impression he tent for the Rev.

Almost to the moment of his death he remained in possession of his faculties, locking forward to hi- release with all the calmness and fortitude which the Christain faith can lend. His lust words were, "I am ready to go;" and, when he was no longer able to speak, he pointed triumphantly towards heaven, and, smiling, breathed his last. He was buried yesterday.

His remains repine in the shadow of the church in Benu-fort, near those of his aid-decamp, Captatn Williams, who died two days before. The services connected with his burial were largely attended, ucarlv all the oiiiccrs of the ts Hilton Head' and Beaufort and large numbers from the Navy being preseut.

Major -General G. M. Mitchel was a graduate of the Military Academy at West Point, but retired from the army after a short period of service, until the danger of his country again called him to arms at the outbreak of the present Rebellion; and in the West, where he commanded a division of our army as Brigadier-General of volunteers, he proved himself to be a gallant and efficient Commander. Brief as was his career in the Department of the South, yet had he already won the esteem and regard "of ail by his energy and activity in directing the movements of the corps against the adjoining Rebels, and the firmness and tempered justice wLh which he conducted the administrative duties of the Department. He died with the calm fortitude of a believing Christian, and while wc lament the death of a gallant soidicr and a kind friend, let us endeavor to emulate the virtues and soldierly qualities of our late commander.

As an appropriate tribute of respect to his memory, on the day foilowing the receipt of this urder at any miiiiary post of this Department thirteen minute guns will be fired, commencing at meridian, and the flag the Union will displayed at half-mast from that hour to sunset ou the same day, and for thirty days the pre-icribed badge of mourning will ba worn by the olliccra of the Tenth Army Corps.
