Tho exigency is now at hand to to«t the

Death of Major lliioiak.

pense, during which time the failure to
receive direct and reliable information in-
piled us with hopes that tho report of
the death of Major Thomas C'amak whs
in ■ rroet, wo have now the sad duty of
announcing that ho received a wound
that caused his death in tho battle ut
Gettysburg, l’a., on the 2d inst. Major
('aniuk was in command of Cobb’s I.o-
gion (infantry.) A letter from tho Adju
tant of tho Legion says: "Tho Brigade

in the leg, which ordinarily would not

Gen. Sommus was as true a knight as

Endowed with extraordinary talents and
fondness for military life, and an ardent
patriot, he was one of the lirst to outer

from a Colonelcy soon rose to tho rank of
Brigadier-General.

Tlio army bus re-crossed tlio Potomac
to V’irginia, and tho timo hns come
when tho truth may ho spoken, in candor
and moderation, in regard to the Into
fortunate campaign in Maryland and
Pennsylvania. Up to tho present time
thoro has been no assurance that my let
ters would not fall into tho hands of the
enomy; and hence, ns you must have ob
served, 1 did not doom it prudent to toll
tho whole truth, lest our mail carrier
sh’ould bo captured again and important
information communicated to the Federal
commander. A succinct and faithful
narrative, bringing events down to the
present date, will plaeo your readers in
possession of all tho material facts, and
show that tho term "untdrtunalo," as ap
plied to the operatioiisof tho army in Ma
ryiand, is not inappropriate, unless it be
too mild.
