FROM Fort Meigs.
By a private in Capt McCune's company, from this
county, direct from Fort Meigs, we have seen a letter from the
captain, dated July 6.
A number of discharged men, in proceeding towards, Fort
Defiance, had been attacked by a party of Indians, and some of
them killed. A party was ordered out to reconnoitre, and
captain McCune escaped narrowly from being killed by a
party of Indians, who were in ambuscade on the river bank,
watching the motions of the detachment. - Maj. Anthony Pitzer
had his leg fractured, by the falling of a tree, near the Fort,
and was not expected to live. - Walter T. Deaver, a fine
young man from this county, had died, and one other in the same
company. The company's time of service will shortly
expire.
Our informant further states - that Gen. Clay
was still commandant, and that he supposed there were about 3000
men at the fort; that active preparations were making for some
extraordinary movement. Capt. Wm. McConnel's
company were at Lower Sandusky, and would be discharged in a few
days. Col. Paull's regiment, (last from this place)
had arrived at Upper Sandusky on Wednesday last, and would
proceed immediately on to Lower Sandusky. Colonel
Johnson's regiment of mounted men, and col. Bull's
squadron were at Cleaveland. |

A published portrait of Return Jonathan Meigs Jr., one of
the early settlers of Ohio, leads to an old reminiscence in the
Hartford Courant. His father was a resident of
Middletown, and his singular name originated thus. In the
early history of Middletown, Mr. Jonathan Meigs asked a
lady to become his wife. She refused him, and Meigs
felt so badly that he left her house weeping. She,
observing his grief, cried out to him when he was a few rods
from her, "Return, Jonathan Meigs." He went back,
she accepted him, and they were married. He declared that
the words uttered by the young woman gave him more comfort than
any other that he ever heard. Therefore, wishing to express
his gratitude, he named his first child Return Jonathan Meigs.
The son became Postmaster-General of the United States and
Governor of Ohio.

On Thursday morning last, as the new
steamwheel steamer Metropolis, bound from Pittsburgh to New
Orleans, was passing was passing West Columbia, a few miles
below Pomeroy, Ohio, her starboard boiler bursted, tearing away
the floor of the hall directly above, and instantly killing 3
(or 8) persons, and scalding five others so severely as to cause
their death in a few hours. Capt. D. C. Hazlett entered
the hall a few seconds before the accident occurred. He was so
badly injured as to cause his death in a short time. The
accident is attributed to a defect in the iron in the boiler.

Charles A. Donnally Died in Ohio
Ex Quartermaster Sergeant
Charles Andrew Donnally, known to almost every Citizen of
Tucson died in Pomeroy, Ohio on the 30th of June, of Malignant
cancer. It will be a matter of solace to his friends that
he passed away without a groan in a comatose condition.
His ending was the natural result of a long year of suffering
when amid untold mental agony, not a complaint passed his lips.
Charley Donnally belonged to
Arizona. He was of Arizona. His life's work was part
of Arizona's history. His identification with the army was
the outcome of the loss of a fortune on a St. Louis warehouse
bond. His first act when he recovered from the shock was
to enlist in the army to live a life of western campaigns, and
Indian warfare, and the Fast knew him to more until he went home
for possible surgical aid. Mr. Donnally's father
and mother survive him at the ripe old age of 81, and his only
sister is Mrs. Mary Donnally Kelso, the famous lecturer,
Charley Donnally's friends in Tucson are legion.
They will grieve for a friend.
