In the afternoon, while drilling, the procession passed conveying the corpse of the cavalryman wounded in the attack by the rebels on the fort. He died at 2 A.M. The scene was beautiful. They led his horse trimmed in black behind the hearse. Before we were done drilling another passed of the Ind. 23d reg. Capt. Bremdeburry of the rebel proclivities was captured to day, also 7 of the rebels supposed to have been engaged in the charge upon our guard was brought in.
